I think your phrasing is needlessly hostile. Around the world it's quite common to have an extended family serve as a support network, especially around childcare. You're right though that maintaining no-screen when your child is

Btw, got any interesting book recommendations? (And yeah, I already know about r/rational ;)) Seems like we both got very similar book tastes. And to recepriociate, I think you might enjoy: - Pretty much everything by Ted Chiang, but e

I'm not sure that's a good long term solution. Like, once they see that all their friends have a smartphone, I think it's natural they'll feel jealous. What are you thinking of doing at that point?

It reminded me of one of pg's old essays – http://paulgraham.com/addiction.html . Highly recommended. On a personal note, it's also something that worries me for the day when I'll finally have my own children

I think many of these articles are overestimating how things will change. Like, is the current mess going to hurt Twitter? Definitely. Does it mean that Twitter will become completely marginalized and in 2-5 years nobody will ever user it?

That seems a bit like wishful thinking. People don't have unlimited ability to learn new skills. Training takes time, and someone who spent several years honoring their craft won't be able to pick up a new skill overnight. On top

OP didn't say "the", they said "one of the". Don't manipulate. Not a fan of Musk myself, but yeah, he actually seems to be an extremely productive person. Whether this productivity is applied in the right place

> A society where laws tried to cover every edge case would be one that’s extremely difficult to navigate. Agreed. At the same time though, I think worker protection is an area where US could benefit a lot from extra laws – obviously the

So this might be naive, but... what interest would someone have in taking down HN? Like, people with skills to run an attack are also more likely to actually enjoy participating here. It'd be like someone trying to take down Stack Over

I'm not sure if that's not verging on being too political here, but I was quite surprised to see how many otherwise democratic countries still have blasphemy laws. Especially the map on this article is interesting – insulting reli

I think the real problem is not Musk's antics, but laws that allow something like that to happen in the first place. This situation is just a symptom of a deeper problem.

What's the timescale you're talking about? It's completely different to pick up a project after 3 hours VS 3 months. On shorter timescales, I think it makes most sense to just... not break off. Obviously you can't always

That sounds very suspicious and is most likely an extremely bad deal for you. 20% might not sound like a big deal while you're still starting – but to put it into perspective, if you work only weekdays, that means every Monday you an

I think the difficult part of this question is – what percent of false positives are we willing to accept in the pursuit of deleting bots? I think setting up some barriers to entry/usage is worth looking into. I wouldn't mind payi

I think the goal here is not money, but making it enough of a hassle that spammers wouldn't bother. So if someone from US actually wants to go through the trouble to save $3, well, at least they're unlikely to be a bot.

I think the question was more about any out of court consequences – 20 years imprisonment is a lot, and seems you're dealing with people who aren't particularly law abiding to begin with. Aren't you worried of someone trying

Super important warning though: make sure that you still work on developing some friendships in your city outside of the office. I've kinda fell into that trap myself during the pandemic. Both my team and our customers are really cool,

Not the biggest fan of Brave myself, but they seem to actually get extra points in my eyes for adding the paid option. It's not like you can pay $3 to Google to get them to stop surveilling you. On a bigger note, monetizing search with
