Imagine Samsung battery incident on another level!

You know you can buy other products, right? There’re plenty of computer manufacturers that use discrete modules.

> one has more horsepower, you would want the one with fewer?

Not necessarily, I would choose using other factors. I argue we should rely less on rarely practical characteristics (maximum power / brigthness) and add more day-to-day aspects into reviews and search filters.

There are few qualities usually mentioned along side displays: size, technology, resolution, colour rating, contrast ratio, and max brightness. I think brightness matters less past some point and we really should focus more on traits listed by @boplicity and @dijit (there's got to be more).

Similarly with cars: I don't care about top speed as long as it goes upto the motorway limit, I don't care about engine power as long as car feels nice in real life; I pay attention to size (will it be comfortable in the city and in my tight parking lot?), fuel consumption, interior quality, luggage space, steering sensations.

> Just like if a MacBook Pro came in either 1600nits or 400nits, you’d pick 400?

Well, if the 400 nits one has an advantage (for example it has OLED, so only the letters will burn my eyes in the evenings, not the whole area of the screen) then I would pick that one.

I believe the way to go is hijacking neural connections, something between Neuralink and STEM from Upgrade.

Yeah, because good old passwords are safe against thermo-rectal cryptoanalysis.

We need another tool that would optimise permutation of statements for least overlap in the resulting diagram.

It bears a risk of developing a connection and feeling sleepy every time you need to do some math. :D

But humour is half the reason I read HN and 3/4 the reason I comment!

Agree. Most of the presented sites are too dynamic for my taste, I don’t like when something on a page moves purposelessly.

Well, the acronym is unfortunate. The project is cool nonetheless.
