I haven't seen it yet, but how do people feel it compares to Lord of the Rings as an adaptation?
AFAIK those are Samsung rings
Re:Meta acquires Moltbook on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @02:01PM (#47326706)
Probably not because it never happened. They did try to sell it though.
This is an honest question for my understanding: how would a scam like this work? Take investor money and spend it on yourself? Or give yourself an outrageous salary?

Really cool! Small complaint, the “near miss” text obstructs the view at least when playing in landscape. But great idea and execution!

I love this and am going to reuse it!

If you want to go even deeper, I recommend Andy Grove’s books “High output management” and “Only the paranoid survive”.

I took it to mean in the performance review context.
This looks great! I really suck at making cinematic videos with my drone and I would welcome the possibility of just instructing it in natural language.
I don't understand how this is legal or even just OK?

Maybe they all used the same generative model to write the comments?

More seriously(?), I thought "cool" is just what everybody writes to show appreciation when they have nothing else to say.

I sincerely thought that Denuvo was a boss in the game.
Re:The right way to sauce pasta (2016) on Sunday January 28, 2024 @01:35PM (#39168442)
My mother is Sicilian and she always keeps some of the pasta water aside to add if the sauce ended up too dry.

Re:Show HN: Beautiful iOS Habit Tracker on Tuesday January 02, 2024 @01:19AM (#38838734)
The app looks nice, great work!

In "New - track Progress habit", if I accidentally change "Start Value" I can't get it back to 0, entering 0 will be converted to 1 automatically.

"Molly is a mercenary, who was recruited by the same person as Case. The character is supposed to resemble Trinity from the Matrix films" - I think it's the other way around.

I didn't know Snapdragon was a kind of apple! Did Qualcomm name their SoC Snapdragon hoping to sell it to Apple? :D

Re:Intel's disruption is now complete on Saturday November 14, 2020 @03:32PM (#25095380)
"When you’re scrappy and broke, the only path to success is to make the company successful. When the company is rich and multitudinous, an individual can gain more from politics and turf wars rather than actually trying to push an already high enterprise value higher."

Extremely well said, and having worked at two (initially) successful behemoths so far, I couldn't agree more.
