Thank you for sharing. It reminds me of a similar website I made with my dad at similar age, in the mid 90s. I hope she enjoyed it, and continues to enjoy it. I also hope to do similar with my children when they’re at at that age.

That’s the same with a lot of hype in SEO circles. It’s the usual loud voices making a big deal out of it, but when you get down to the actual practicalities, not much changes. Not least because very little of it is conclusive in terms of w

Perhaps surprisingly to the HN community, a lot of what is coming out confirms what decent SEOs have been saying for years (and appears to contradict a lot of what Google have said publicly via their various talking heads)

to be fair to obama, let's not pretend he didn't have an army of super smart planners, strategists and analysts behind him in various corners of the pentagon, the CIA and the NSA that led him to that decision

Very rare I disagree with EFF but here I do. It’s long overdue.

Same. Except my 3 year old watches quite a bit of TV and I frequently use my phone in front of him (the latter I am working on, the former I am not too bothered about within reason)

My first ever job was a placement during university -- like a year in industry. It was a regular-joe IT support job at an eLearning company (if they still exist). The FD walked past me one day, having just left what was clearly a deeply unc

There’s a trend of democracy being under attack, and Trump and Brexit are good examples of that

How do you train someone not to do stupid sh*t like that? What’s saying that employee didn’t go through H&S training? I get the legalities, it’s just a fringe case to the extreme, and conflation of that case to imply some wider problem.

I agree. I'd love to see more details on what the guy felt he was entitled to. I suspect there was a contract signed early on in their dealings that the author of this blog post is not being forthcoming with.

We get it. You do 2 hours work a day from where you want and are paid a sizeable salary (possibly even overpaid). There’s not much that is going to persuade you that freelance is ‘better’.

Interest rates go up, getting a mortgage becomes less affordable -> more people in the market for renting (in many areas, there's also a lack of rental housing stock) Professional landlords have built empires on low interest rates -
