In the interests of balance you should read up on the life of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormons, and his history of fraud. You could follow up with Why I Am Not a Christian by Bertrand Russell: https://users.drew.edu/

This is good advice. Combine it with some of the other good suggestions in the comments here, like Improv and taking on some activities and hobbies. Forget about the "finding a date" aspect of it. If you're having fun in a re

Great. I hope we'll see some movement soon - it's sorely needed. CAPTCHAs seem to trigger more and more often lately. Shame RWC don't put out videos of past talks - there's a couple of others look pretty interesting too.

Well there was something on Github of a browser addon to mitigate the worst of the challenges, back in summer. I remember it hitting front page here. Seemed hopeful a solution was on the horizon. It seems to have been untouched since, and n

Cloudflare is horrifically hostile to users, triggering blocks and Captchas all the damn time, but I've never once had an issue, or cloudflare interruption, with HN. It'd give me an interesting conflict if I ever had, as I take Cl

Oh FFS. To stay on point it's a matter of ignorance not nativity. The article is crap not because it is Indian, which is irrelevant, but because the domain is a minimal effort blog that has no place on HN.

It's their offical language, along with Hindi. Many of the Indians I've known have a much better formal command of the language than many native English! Including myself.

Pay $1 or $2 to a homeless person, and spend 5 minutes talking to them. Do this a few times and you'll find most of them probably deserve a little dignity.

Not sure where I'd switch to - Private Internet Access seems to get recommended often, including here on HN. I'm ignoring the affiliate reviews as PIA game those heavily. Now they seem to be gaming OpenVPN audits lol. Of the more

They're not so great at fixes and adding features. I much prefer 1Password's interface to anyone else's, especially on Mac. It took them a year to fix the metadata privacy issue with Android Dropbox sync, despite many asking

True, and some fashion watches have got truly silly. I think it's the combination of diameter and thickness. When I looked at an Android it was just that bit too imposing. If either dimension shrinks I'll look again.

by anexprogrammer 10y ago
OP may not have, but I have. Near universal size for Android watches seems to be 42mm (and 12mm thick). Roughly that used to be a common size of pocket watch. I don't want a pocket watch on my wrist. Apart from anything else I'll

You should search FDR's views on Japanese and Jewish immigration and his writings in the 1920's and later. It should make it fairly clear, and reveal his views of Jewish immigration and hence why very few German refugees were acce

My take was it was too broad. Several things got taken out for "political" that frankly shouldn't have been. The post of YC’s Winter Reading List, as the list contained some political volumes, was the most silly to my mind. B

Gandi.net have been great. Control panel is techie-friendly, and support seems unbeatable. Their "no bullshit" tagline seems to work. You don't get a ton of upsells either. I used to be OK with Namecheap but the Web 2 redesig
