https://diigo.com It's less simple than Delicious used to be, but it scratched the itch for a while for me. I barely ever bookmark anything these days. When Delicious was sold I stopped using it, and realised I didn't

Rather than continue replying to individuals, my final thoughts: The responses here seem short-sighted. A company is openly increasing pressure on staff to force people to leave. This does not protect or benefit you, despite what you may

> Sub-standard is relative to a standard. If someone finds themselves to be sub-standard, maybe they should find a place with lower standards? That's exactly what Zuck is saying. Sure, and maybe Zuck should just keep shifting the go

It depresses me no end that someone can see poor performance, laziness etc only as a trait others possess, and not as a reaction to circumstance that they themselves might experience one day. I guarantee that anyone -- anyone -- can find th

I do use it like Wikipedia, I guess. Or actually more like Google. I'm really not into doomscrolling "content". Life's too short.

I didn't say anything about preventing you from keeping your work and social lives separate. I sincerely hope your co-workers are aware of your preferences and give you the wide berth you desire.

> someone who distinguishes between good and bad takes on the role of judge and all the responsibilities that entails. The one who doesn't, abdicates this responsibility, and thus frees themselves from accountability. Nah :) Someone

Let's say you see tens or hundreds of works by artists who qualify ("years of practice, attention to detail, sophisticated processes, careful choice of mediums, tasteful composition, and choice of subject matter"). Do you thi

To be frank, that's indicative of a gulf between what the user wants from the product, and how the provider views the user. User: This item isn't relevant for me. Provider: Yes it is. See the problem? :)

Jeez that's hideous. A tip I've picked up from HN: buy a monitor to use for visual media instead of a "TV". Set-top boxes and PVRs should plug straight in. I've not actually done this yet, but when my old TV dies I&

Thanks to various plugins for Firefox, my experience of the YouTube homepage is a blank page apart from the search bar.

I can't stand Netflix's interface, and it's recommendations are absolutely terrible. We're approaching the One True User Interface: search bar and recommendations. And it's awful.

80%? That doesn't include me. I'm a reluctant payer to avoid ads, and so I can play my choice of music anywhere.

How far away are we from an open-source AI that can detect ad-like content in an audio/video stream and mute/blank it?

I think there's a straw-man there: "why build a workplace with rules that prevent work?" Personally, I'd find a workplace with a library area great. But I wouldn't want or prescribe a workplace that is entirely a li

I'd add "teller" to that list, distinct from "asker". I certainly have friends and family who will tell me in no uncertain terms that we're joining them for a meal, or even that they are joining us for our

The algorave and live music coding scenes are fun to watch, and no doubt their editors are innovative in ways I'm not aware of. Might investigate. As for REPL-driven development, I agree. A smoother way of moving from REPL to editor wo

Erm, define "impairment". Yes this study notes reduced performance in some areas (but the authors acknowledge plenty of weaknesses and explanations in their discussion). However, increases in something like "creativity"

It is ambiguously worded, I agree. I'm on mobile so I've only cursorily scanned the article. Looking at subfig E in figure 1, it seems that differences between active and placebo were minimal. I haven't checked their stats re

My post isn't clear, in that case. I'm not claiming it's a literal reflex :) A top-flight tennis player is responding extremely quickly, and extremely accurately. Deliberate, planned action is not happening. It's som

Agreed! What follows is in addition, not in contradiction. The complexity of human musculoskeletal coordination is astonishing. Particularly in sport, but also in daily life. Consider: how many ways are there to raise a cup to your mouth? B

Enjoyable, thanks! The yellow colour is barely discernable on my crappy old Android, could stand to be more distinct. Orange or pink, perhaps?

But what data? All of it or some subset? Aggregated, differentially privatised, non-identifiable chunks? Without specific explanations, you could always weasel out of vague promises. Sorry to sound negative. I'd love a service like thi
