SommaRaikkonen | 4 years ago | on: How to Remove the Frustration of Reading in Games
- OSRS quests: Even though the "press spacebar in quests" meme still applies, the quest dialogue box is small enough - with a decent sized font [1]- that I don't feel tired reading through the tidbits one box at a time
- Control: I'm a big fan of SCP so I have an _incentive_ to go through all of the collectible files, then read through them. In this instance, having optional incentivized reads massively boost my enjoyment of the game.

SommaRaikkonen | 4 years ago | on: Remarkable starts implementing subscription plans for its cloud features
The thing that stood out for me is the way they push for a subscription as you purchase your device. The Marker Plus used to be $99, but they inflated the price to be $129 so that if you choose the Connect plan, it "slashes" the price back to $99 - how it originally cost before, according to the video.

This morning we learn that the plug-in would have been released today, but Jagex has asked the developer to shut it down.
A side by side comparison, as an example of how the graphics plug-in would look when enabled: https://old.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/k5lp5s/ferox_enc...

"You, instead of Puffin, are disgusting. You are OK to pay for the phone. You are OK to pay for the mobile data. You are NOT willing to pay for the app that you use extensively. You need to fix yourself for not being disgusting."

Also, any cool stories to tell about power maintenance? I see you have giant solar panels but wonder if they're enough for your daily workload - do you have enough power at night?
Sorry if you've answered these questions before, I'm new to your blog!

I'm very interested in hearing about the experience of HN people from these regions in terms of open source collabs. Since Github has such a large presence, what are you all using instead?

SommaRaikkonen | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: How can I find meaningful problems to work with long-term people?
This is a really tough question to answer because it depends on who's asking the question. On a forum like HN you'll find that these questions are often asked anywhere from the context of a small-scale startup ("I built a platform to predict stock signals "before the crowds know". What's next?") to mid-scale ("I want to build a deep-learning powered engine to clone people's voice") to real high level stuff (Autonomous vehicles).
What's the common trend in those 3 cases? They identified a need for a service using Deep Learning/Trend Analysis, but that's just one subset of a field. Fortunately for you, if you frequent HN enough you'll have no trouble figuring out the cross-section of (what you're good at) X (what's hot right now).
Off-topic but that small scale example got instantly flagged on HN while I was still figuring out what OP's company was about

I hope Smea, Derrek, Pluto et. al were approached by Nintendo in a different way because those guys had been stellar throughout the scene's life.
SommaRaikkonen | 5 years ago | on: Tillis Releases Text of Bipartisan Legislation to Fight Illegal Streaming
1 - condition 1;
2 - condition 2; or
3 - condition 3.
Does this mean that condition 1 should be applied all the time (1 and 2 _or_ 1 and 3) or (1 or 2 or 3) in order to be liable?
SommaRaikkonen | 5 years ago | on: Tillis Releases Text of Bipartisan Legislation to Fight Illegal Streaming
(1) is _primarily _ designed or provided for the purpose of publicly performing works protected under title 17 by means of a digital transmission without the authority of the copyright owner or the law;
(2) has _no commercially significant purpose or use other than_ to publicly perform works protected under title 17 by means of a digital transmission without the authority of the copyright owner or the law; or
(3) is _intentionally marketed by_ or at the direction of that person to promote its use in publicly performing works protected under title 17 by means of a digital transmission without the authority of the copyright owner or the law.
Emphasis are mine. It's clear to me through reading this that a service/platform that specifically aims and is marketed as streaming pirating content will suffer the consequences here.
