News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

You're completely right and obviously many many people would want to go and see something like the good the bad and the ugly in theatres - probably enough to fill the theatre for a showing or two - but the problem is how would they know it's on? A lot of people look up what movies are on that week, but most people are aware that the big movies are ok a the moment because they're marketed and obviously that marketing costs money. What studio or theatre chain is going to spend millions (or even thousands) on marketing a 30+ year old movie that might take in a couple of hundred k at the box office.

There's a reason cinemas don't play old movies and it's not because they think there's no one who wants to see them, sadly the logistics of it are too costly (in all sorts of ways beyond just base line finances too).

Taking nothing away from the maker of this, but cried must also go to Apple for the original UX too and how well designed that is that copying it works so well too.

I've had renders cost $50,000! Or CTO was less than amused

I'm sure they'll tout some new "Rosetta" feature like they had for the switch from PowerPC to Intel last time

Given they both have the A14 chip and seemingly no other differences in their innards, the fact the pro can do 60fps Dolby digital vs the regular phones 30fps feels like a lame software lock?

Very involved behind the scenes. I'm sure he set the direction for a lot of this presentation.

If it wasn't about the money and just about the environment Apple would let you walk in to one of their stores with your serial number in hand and pick one up for free if you needed one (one per person)...

They built it, it's really not that difficult. The sky, view through window and trees around it look like they were added after. The top floor may have been a seperate piece perhaps.

Ask HN: How to negotiate large salaries?

Hey, looking for a bit of advice on moving jobs. My current job pays me really well, about $150k including benefits. I've been approached to go to another company for a job I'd be really interested in doing but I know for a fact theyre low balling me with an offer of $125k, I have several friends who work there and I know this is the starting salary for a role about 1-2 levels below wha they're...
