I've wondered this early in my adult life because I was unfortunate enough to come into contact with some predatory personalities early in my business career. It bothered me a lot because I was raised to be "good" by good pe

Everyone on HN should be rooting for this bill as the current law has singlehandedly sunk many small software businesses.

My point really is that people get their kids' phones because they think they have to, but that's the root of the problem. We don't prevent our kids from being online - what we prevent them from doing is being online on their

We allow my son to be online via his computers. He has a Macbook and a desktop PC. He's on Discord and a Slack. He can iMessage friends via his Macbook. The thing about a phone is that there's a data plan and it's out of your

I am here to report as a parent of children that I have been able to keep them off of social media by not getting them phones, controlling the Internet in the house, and paying close attention.

Anything that helps shake up the system is good for artists at this point. It would be cool if this app helped you gauge how much to pay your favorite artists… If it logged the artists you listened to and then gave you something like a bill

Yeah that's great that you were able to translate what your kid did to a video. I bet he was stoked! A friend of ours helped his daughter get set up to do do Lego time lapses with an iPhone. Also a fun way to make something. Pretty soo

I have one browser (Chrome) where I have logged into Facebook/Insta/Oculus/Meta and one where I have never logged into them (Brave with Shields UP). I'd like to think that gives me some protection from tracking in the cl

Publii is great. Basically a local, offline Wordpress as a Windows/Mac app which can publish a static site to Github pages (or other host). Somehow has stayed under the radar for years but it is really nice.

Muxtape was the best and I still miss it. It would be wonderful to be able to make mixtapes for friends and just share them without needing to be on Spotify or some other walled off service.

Gas is cheap. $3.19 near us vs. $5.00+ a few years ago. Guess what happened when gas prices went up?

We had Bird electric bikes in our town. They were too expensive to use, though some people did. Mostly college kids from what I could tell. Still, I used one once and it cost me $10 to get just a couple miles. Not worth it.

Really awesome to see Romania at the top of this chart, happier than even Finland. After decades of living in misery under the Ceaușescus during the 20th century, Romanians deserve some time in the sun.

One of the unfortunate side effects of criminalizing drug use has been the muddying of the ethical landscape around law breaking. The argument that drug use laws are unjust has bled into a belief that other illegal behavior is somehow excus

Yeah it is huge inside! We moved a full size refrigerator. Yesterday we brought out Christmas tree home inside it instead of tying it on top. We are still under 130k.

At first I liked their strategy because they were Trojan Horsing EVs into middle America. Then it turned out all they were doing was Trojan Horsing Pickup Trucks into rich urban communities.

We own a 2008 Honda Odyssey and I swear it is the greatest vehicle I've ever owned. Honda perfected the minivan as a utilitarian family vehicle. We see them all over the place too - amazing durability.

Google could just leverage the very popular Gmail app and start piping people into chat from there. They don't even try. Their Hangouts/Meet app on iPhone is a withered husk.

This makes me so happy. To see sports betting corrupt ESPN in real time is so sad. Advertising of sports betting should be as legal as advertising of cigarettes.

The whole green bubble thing with Android SMS on iPhone is a problem, but the solution is to get everyone to use a different chat app. Apple will never give this up. Google could be leading that charge and providing a world beating chat app
