I played it after Last of Us 2 and it just doesn't compare, especially in terms of mechanics and visuals. If there's one last game to play on PS4 it's Last of Us 2.


Really? I played both, and while I was a HUGE Last Of Us fan (multiple play throughs) I enjoyedd, and recommend Horizon Zero Dawn much more that LoU2.

HZD is a compelling, interesting, and challenging game.


I didn't find either of them super compelling. I never really bought into the characters so to me they were both mostly mediocre action games that tried way too hard. They weren't terrible, but I didn't agree with the hype.

And LoU2 being woke was also a turn-off for me.


Really personal opinion that one I feel. Last of us 2 is quite a different game with very different feel and gameplay.


TLOU > TLOU2 although TLOU2 is powerful in an interesting way.


Besides story, facial animations, graphics and some of the physics engine in TLOU2 was mind blowing.


lets not into TLOU2 lol

technically perfect

storywise and characterwise a shitfest though


This explains how I got scammed on Shopify last summer. I’m not talking about a missing product label or receiving a counterfeit item. I paid $1200 for a Shopify product (drone) and received a box with a poster tube inside of it that said “the world is yours”. Nothing else. The merchant was gone that day. The real scammers live on Shopify.


Imagine the surprise of a dude who ordered the poster "the world is yours" and got a drone.


I know this won't add to the conversation, but your comment made my day. I got a good laugh out of this. Thanks!


Now you know why people call it scamify :)


Da fuq? Did you manage to get anything back?


Credit card chargeback would bring everything back.


"weird gloating dismissiveness" could summarize most top comments on HN


Hey creator, just wanted to say great job. A lot of these Hacker News comments are predictably neck-beardy and lack the recognition of effort and dedication put into a product launch.

Don't listen to the non-constructive "yeah but X already does it" comments. This seems like a simple but useful product, and good on you all for putting this out there. Keep creating and iterating!


Just tried it. First off, love the simplicity. Do one thing, do it well. It worked great!

So now, the feedback. I would have no login. Or make it optional, like pastebin, but for video. 2nd, allow Facebook to google login.

One last thing, how can you afford this??? I’ve thought about doing apps like this, and then I think about my aws bill!


For the AWS bill, inbound traffic is free and S3 doesn't cost much (0.023$ / GB), knowing that you'd only store one video once.

Outbound though traffic though is where it hurts: somewhere around 0.15$ / GB, and that's for each and every time any one plays a given video.

1 minute of h.265 would sit around 22Mb (according to the first source I found https://medium.com/@PoloPinetta/youtube-4k-and-h-265-uploads...)

Better get that compression going, and I hope they figure out a way to make some money soon enough, but for a small user base it should be manageable


Put a CDN in front of S3 to keep your bill low (you’ll only get dinged for the first origin to edge transfer out), or store in Backblaze B2 instead and use Cloudflare (they have a storage/CDN partnership making the overall cost much lower than S3).


The long and rambling, confusing and grammatically indirect answer that this piece puts forth is that yes, Rails is still relevant in 2018. I could agree more.


Does anyone know if the same admin UI (tables, settings) is available with Parse Server?


It is, it's called parse-dashboard and it's open source as well.


To me this product markets itself. This team has accomplished a lot with this tool, and i'm compelled to adopt and educate myself.

The proof (and splash) is in the pudding here. Kudos to dev team that built this.


"We will remain steadfast in our efforts toward contributing to an Internet that represents the best, not the worst, of humanity."

But doesn't the full human experience include both the best and the worst?


Yes, but so what? Are you saying they should pledge to support expression of the best and the worst of the humanity?


"Best" and "worst" is highly subjective.

Everyone here is referring to the "politically correct discourse, America, 2016" definition of those words.


| and when it's my turn, I ask her if there have been any big winners lately.

So, were there any???
