I may have missed a line in the original text, but I don’t find what are the 5 loved brown languages. I feel they may be the most interesting to learn, having passed the test of time and still being loved.

One argument could be that on some zero sum games, wealth inequalities create material inequalities. An exemple is real estate. Major measures can be confort vs. business advantage: a large house in the middle of nowhere v. a small apartme

It can also be seen as a huge opportunity to create niche-stars. There is little value for the world in thousands copycats when you can have a large distribution. However, there is value to find the best fit. I have hope in a future in whic

This ! So much easier to hussle if you have a clear goal in mind. The threshold to « wealth » should be clearer. FIRE « levels » seems a good approximation but more detailed studies would be great.

A nice project to show that computers and internet technologies can be useful to literature teachers. Its a shame that its possible since the 90's and still not a standard way of learning complex texts in school.

I clearly have a need for this about software as I am not a pro dev. I just had the same conversation with a med worker this weekend. Some patients just want prescription and anything more will annoy them. Others will need a description to

This piece deserve front page just for its potential noise reduction effect. By the way, maybe there are too many « curators », but at least they provide a filtering function. It make me thinking about the alternatives and opportunities to

Why this kind of article always seem both borderline and true ? It is surprising as it opposes « reality » to « conventional wisdom ». And ads are annoying.

My viewpoint is that to enjoy the part of your life which is not work, you have to get your work done. Between workaholic and master procrastinator, there is a large gray area of healthy relationship to work. This line resonates with my exp

Thank you for the reply ! And if you are behind this project, thanks for it. I will surely dig into this gem site this weekend and maybe try your program one day ! And I add these two books on top of my ever too long reading list.

Great article. It helped me go back to work. I feel like the world would be a much better place with less procrastination. It feels like a premise for great work. However, I feel much of actual content of the subject feel like scam or bulls

A more long term viewpoint would be interesting. All the affirmations in the article are done with the current state of the art. Extensive farming has improved for thousands of years. Vertical farming is very new and room for improvement in

Amazing ! Most of the Amazon's marketplace strategy is laid out there. It is incredibly consistant with what Amazon is today. Ranging from focus on delivery time to wholesale accounts, including the importance of attention, it seems ve

Is this just a disguised ad or a legit proposition ? Any review of an HN reader ? If so, would you recommend this book over online content to a beginner ?

It looks like a Stirling engine : Perfect on paper but no real world application. Reddit comments seem to agree. However, it really looks like magic. Must have been really fun to build.

I am always happy to read pieces like this that challenges the status quo. However, I still think neutering should be the norm. Only responsible enough owners should be the exception. Liberty comes with responsibilities which are often ove

Its because you were alone. Paris was well known to be unsafe even for a mechanical bike. With the CoViD measures, many Parisians got equipped with high end electric and non-electric bikes and the number of them exploded. Now that there ar

Living in Paris here, I can’t agree more with this decision. The whole city is very walkable, everything is within a 30min bike ride if you’re sporty enough. And the public transport is definitely world class if you can’t bike. However thi

Once again a project that seems to have gone from the drawing table to redesign the prototype. And now well under way ! What I'm the most curious about is how they plan to handle exceptions and failure modes to keep it unharmful.

So great ! A combination of constrained simplicity with a physical support that you can hold in your hands ! I like both concepts, moreover in software where its now rarer than ever. Mostly because there is no more truly useful application.

I find this incredibly humbling and inspiring. 18 month is not much to lay down fondations of quite a lot of today’s work, 20 years later. Especially the really simple relational database presented at the end : simple yet super powerful. Ea
