I've always wondered what the qualitative difference between reading a book and a forum like HN. Is it similar in the benefits that you gain? Has there been any major research done in this area?

It's interesting to me that several of the island nations in the Oceanic region will likely disappear within our lifetime. Might be interesting to pay a visit before they disappear.

Fascinating article! A couple of times I've been wondering what happens to old books that libraries inevitably have to dispose of. I wonder how often a diamond in the rough is uncovered in this process and how many books are "lost

This doesn't come as a surprise to me at all. It will be very interesting to see how big tech will do in the long run with accepting money from dictatorships and less than savory actors. I fear that it will only get worse, especially t

I've been astonished at the amount of originals that I've seen while I browsed Netflix the other day. The quality though has been very varied though. I watched the first episode of Another Life and I think it is the single worst f

This is probably the best short summary I've seen on The Mythical Man-Month. Kudos! Do you have any other books of a similar vein to recommend?

The bigger question is, what is there to be done? What is the road to a more uniform handling of JSON? I've handled some JSON before and it's usually fairly easy untill you catch one of these strange implementation quirks. But I&#

I honestly question whether we need Biometrics at all? I don't really see what benefit they have over other types of authorization?

This strikes me as a pretty good idea? Ads like these can really have an impact on youth who are at risk of radicalizing. But I haven't seen stats on how effective this is and it is a worrying trend of having essentially government act

I wonder why increasingly young people commit suicide, increased social pressure at a lower age? Increased competition in society? I find it to be one of the more tragic problems facing us.

I agree with the core insight here, I've always found that MMOs are lacking something when it comes to community building. I remember the community that I felt when I was playing the initial release of WoW and really knowing the people

The scale of this is baffling! And from what I've seen in the industrial side of things I doubt that everything will be patched anytime soon sadly.

I am so happy that I am out of the rat race that is online dating. It seems like it's pretty hard to get noticed and the culture of just ghosting people feels a bit inhumane. I also felt like there was a large disconnect between what p

Sometimes I really feel like Social Media changing the very fabric of society for the worse. I don't consider myself conservative at all but observing the results from the disinformation campaigns on Facebook and how crazied people can

I still find the fact that Exxon internal researchers knew about the incoming crisis since 1982. The fact that they didn't act upon the information to me is mind-boggling, I guess the profit motives were too strong. I wonder how they r

There seems to be an increasing problem with automated content filtering systems that filter out legitimate actors. This seems like a very broad problem that is hard to generalize, but perhaps I'm wrong. It also seems like the problem

This feels like an article that assumes a lot about what you are doing while bingewatching, when I do it I pretty much never eat anything unhealthy and I often do it in the company of friends. At that point the only point that is still stan

It feels like electronic voting of any kind at the moment is a mistake. It seems far more prone to meddling and security issues compared to manual balloting. I don't know if there are any statistics that have been collected regarding

Great article! I find it strange that I haven't come across the geometric mean before, it seems like a fairly valuable tool. One of these days I should really take a deep dive into some undergrad stats books.

If you have inconsistent income you have to have a healthy buffer of cash that you can draw from in times where you aren't making a lot of money. Congratulations on becoming a dad!

The fact that people in the US still use Amazon despite all of this evidence of the shady business practices that happen on the platform is very confusing to me as a European. Is this still a rare occurrence or is it more commonplace?

When I was reading about the history of the Caribbean islands this was a shock to say the least, putting a debt onto former slaves for the value of their own lives sounds like something straight out of a dystopian future. Sometimes we just

Is there anyone that has attempted to make an interactive map where you can see when the latest record temperature was set or something along those lines? It seems like records are being set every other day, which might not be very surprisi

How we actually define a company to be a monopoly seems to be somewhat arbitrary? I agree that Amazon engages in anticompetitive behaviour but I'm not sure that it can control prices or exclude competition to that extent? I mean every

When did China originally start disrespecting intellectual property? Or is it the case that they've never respected it? Do you know of a good resource to learn about the history of this topic?

I've always been intrigued by this, do you think that platforms such as YouTube should be considered public infrastructure? And if so for what reasons?
