I would absolutely agree with your hypothesis about the future. Kids these days don't have the kind of access to technology that you describe - the kind of access that inspires you to take something apart to see how it works, put it ba

Not quite startup or hobby project material, but some of the most gratifying work is making non-critical, easy to implement changes in your business's workflow! Sometimes users will have minor (or major) issues with the way a tool work

This sounds a bit condescending. Just because it's normal for shops to open early doesn't mean that people who work those jobs are less negatively impacted by alarms and sleep quality. What's the difference between being tire

Palihapitiya is a great speaker and very brave for owning up to what many try to downplay their involvement in. Here's a link to the video this article pulls from, it's succinct and really hits home: https://www.youtube

We talk about scaling a lot, but rarely look past "more traffic" or "ten years from now". This is becoming an issue for the first time because the concept of "massively complex computer system at the core of a busin

Do you have any idea what the dosage is? Is it an immersive 'K-hole' dose where you go deep and become unresponsive for a bit? Or are the infusions smaller doses just meant to build up the anti depressive afterglow effects in the

I'd imagine it's more content curation (i.e. prime video recommendations) and advertising products the kids would want to the parents in that area. This vein of advertisement is governed by strict 'truth in advertising'

The Cambridge Analytica / Facebook story revolves around the issue of privacy, so it has a place on HN (even if it is a bit of a dead horse at this point). However articles like these use the story as a springboard to write about other

Two counterpoints: A) Lennon discovered and got very deep into LSD in 1966, mere months before Lucy in the Sky was written. He had a powerful ego death experience [1]. B) Admitting to the public that one of their hit songs was about a con

The visuals generated by the neural network remind me of visuals experienced under the influence of psilocybin or LSD. I wonder if I am making an unjust leap or if there is a similar organic process (searching for familiar patterns) taking
