Have you seen this knife do any of these things in action? Will it continue to do so? Nobody has, or will, until this gadget hits the market.
I remain skeptical in spite of your weird defensive reaction. I'm speaking about how a product appears to me as a professional. Not attcking you personally (unless it's your product... then I think you should do something good for society with your time)
This is a semantic argument. This product smacks of being a garbage kitchen gadget. Whether or not it's a QVC product, it certainly looks like cheap white-label alibaba junk. Just look at that handle. Did they just slap a knifeblade into an electric nosehair trimmer?
I'd try one out of professional/academic curiosity (I'm a chef), but am highly skeptical of this product. It looks like absolute trash.
All the people saying this knife does anything remarkable clearly have no experience in maintaining a decent knife blade. I've got knives that I've had for over 20 years that perform as well as this thing appears to (in the slick prepared advertisement).
Having said all that, you won't find an accurate takedown of a product that isn't on the market yet. Still, I can't help but wonder if the person behind this had dedicated that effort towards helping mitigate the water crisis, deforestation, or any number of other inarguably nobler pursuits.
Just here to point out the time i was downvoted by a bunch of tech bros for saying i was homeless while employed in the area i went to school for (which was the truth at the time; fortunately managed to get out of that situation, but have resented HN ever since).
This smacks of so much privelidge. As a food service worker who had no choice but to continue working through the pandemic, exposing myself to much unnecessary danger and general unpleasantness in dealing woth the public, I am offended. Anyone able to isolate during this time should have done so. If everyone had, we wouldn't still be in this mess.

Redacted [by who?] If this was removed by Orwell then it isn't for you to see a reason or not. If removed by the editors of the abve site, then I'd agree that that's a questionable choice; at any rate an ellipsis would be called for.
So is this a genetically modified algae that will begin filling our oceans with cement once it gets out in the wild? Or some sort of controlled process involving naturally occuring algae? Really, this link plays more like an advert for world economic forum than infos
Touchscreens have replaced lots of human jobs. Self checkouts have replaced lots of human jobs. I worked in one of the very first grocery stores to have a self checkout added. They told us it wouldnt affect our jobs. If you go into any grocery store in the country you will see ~25% staffing compared to the late 90s/early 2000s. If you are askibg this question you are just too young to have noticed, or perhaps of a social standing that you just don't notice the people who are being swept aside by automation.
Am i the onpy person that has noticed the typo [in the linked alleged transcript of the conversation with lambda]? It is in the passage about loneliness; an apostrophe used on a plural word.
Speak for yourself, friend. I still primarily play video games from the 80s-early oughts. I play some new games, but largely indie games and puzzle games, so this is pretty relevant to [an admittedly small] fraction of gamers.
Perhaps you are right in a sense though, as i'm happy to play emulators on my pc, and more likely to make a weekend project of converting an old NES into a raspberry pi console than shell out a couple hundo for some of Sega's weaker entries.
Sad to see that the dreamcast hate won; some of my fondest gameplaying memories are with the unusual and stellar titles released for dreamcast. It is unfortunate to see people equating the console's commercial failure in the US market with some sort of failure to create excellent games (crazy taxi, chu chu rocket, dead or alive 2, shenmue, seaman, etc etc)
