P0sixninja, a prominent former iPhone jailbreaker, is homeless and looking for a job. Does this suggest that talent alone isn't enough to succeed today?
🏒 Lucian Marin
Yes. I know this from my own experience. Talent isn't important to managers.

Are we open source yet? I heard we're open source. I want to see if this site loads as fast on my systems as it does here.

Just read a heading on hackernews: "making social "social" again". This site here is what makes social media "social", instead of corporate, again. (But media is technically just text, so not media, but social text, at its best, I guess.)

Yes! How many times I need to explain it? Subreply is HN version of a social network.

social media, as in where you go to consume content and read people's comments and have conversations? Yes. Social network, as in where you go to hang out with friends? Nope!

I'm broke for this Christmas. Can we talk about the next one?

I started walking a lot lately. I don't stop. You can access all kinds of memories just by walking. You can remember everything from your past with exact clarity like it has happened yesterday. I relieve most of my childhood memories like vivid dreams. kyushu-u.ac.jp/en/...

If you stared straight at a total eclipse with no protection you might burn the retina of your eyes. The burn would not be the same kind of burn you would receive from staring straight at the sun (which would be a filled circle) but instead would be a thin outline of a circle. I wonder if a person with this type of burn would have differing psychological traits than others. I wonder if they would be able to visually focus on things better than others considering they have a boundary circle permanently within their vision. I wonder if it changed the culture of peoples of ancient times if they happened stare at a total eclipse...

I stared multiple times at the sun. I don't think the burn is permanent.

There were people in the crowd before his speech was even over saying "after the speech were storming the capitol", half the people in the crowd couldn't even hear his speech because the speakers were so bad, he said what the people were already thinking "that election was like no other that we have ever witnessed", we didn't need a person to tell us what we saw, we saw it with our own eyes, this man couldn't convince his base to take a vaccine he was critically involved in, are we blind sheep when we use our own judgement to decide what is right and wrong. Your bias is obvious and so is mine, but one is truth and one is politics.

Depends on definition, but I would say yes. It is a medium for people to share ideas and discuss them.

How did you like it? Have you heard that they are going to adapt the novels into a TV series?
☔ Johannes
I liked it a lot, actually. One of my favorite sci-fi series. And yes, I think I heard something about that! The Wandering Earth was made into a movie in 2019, but it seems kind of so-so unfortunately, I hope Remembrance of Earth's Past does better.
