so ui inspiration for other ui creators?

flagged is different from uninteresting. gruber indulging conspiracies before considering that he might be uninteresting outside his audience is pretty travis bickle-y. i am asking why a phone hack concerning a major political figure would be irrelevant or uninteresting to hn.

righteous seller

well, not necessarily you, but you did attempt to explain why yet left out the meat of my question

oh i left that out so people would start commenting. thanks.

but why did they flag it?

seems about right. you're doing fine. cofounders require crystal clear skills and/or high trust. otherwise they become a negative. ugc can be many things. i am curious what type of content.

WHY IS THIS FLAGGED?

you brought the all caps outta me

incredible deal

i am referring to imessage, camera, photos, facetime, and so on

idk they’ve created the most used and differentiating apps though

who will be in the bread line if it blows

legend

“Local woman discovers Nathan For You”

it's a fair criticism though. learning and eventually relying on new tools is an investment. it helps to know the developer is invested too, not just moonlighting.

who have you asked?

“return to innocence” by enigma

mesmerized by it growing up, could only recall the native american-sounding chanting. googled “hey yah heyyyyyyy” and found the answer on reddit. turns out it samples/infringes an indigenous taiwanese (amis) chant.

I think of youuuu

Yes, but being a failed dreamer doesn’t entitle you to lie forever.

Ouch. Thank you for sharing this story. I am stunned but weirdly unsurprised. I encountered several people like this version of Bob in silicon valley. Some of them reached huge liquidity events and that bought them enough credibility that they’re still finessing people decades later. Completely agree with one of the comments under Jeremy’s post:

I guess I got fooled by Cringely back in the old days. His journalistic work with Triumph of the Nerds was great, but only because of the subject matter and the people being interviewed. Whenever the topic veered to Cringely himself (which happened more than it should have) the work suffered.

i started using bluesky recently and the venting seemed about normal by internet standards

why must it always be hard

Well said

Huge influence on my youth. He seemed like the inconvenient insider of 90s Silicon Valley. Like a PBS-trained version of pud.

anyone not on ios 27 — i can recommend an app called “offline cards.” straightforward, clean way to add physical cards to ios wallet.

i’d lose myself in a creative world if i lead a team that demands excellence without a franchise quarterback. imagine how many meetings this man endured in lieu of a capable qb.

but it is cool how mike’s minecraft story follows a familiar arc for anyone raising kids after 2009, and learning about his interests in architecture and urbanism.

meanwhile, free-to-play gaming's business model is to speedrun through the population via ads to find the most mentally unwell or underdeveloped people with access to credit cards or at least grandmothers who will buy them gift cards
