Everything is nibbling away at Walmart. The big one that I don't think people are paying attention to anymore is Dollar General. Dollar General has cut out at least half of trips to Walmart just by virtue of convenience according to th

I'm seriously considering getting rid of most of my smart home devices not because they suck but because the software to control it sucks. The Samsung Smart Things app used to be so responsive, I could turn devices on and off without m

Agreed. I did give a considerable amount of time to thinking about the what-if scenarios one day and when I looked down those other paths of what might have been I realized I would have to give up something I had come to love to pursue thos

Just found Notion the other day and I have to say so far I am blown away at how much functionality they've packed into this app. Not only is there a ton of functionality but they've also included some great examples of how everyth

I really hope this benefits the area of the country where my parents live. They pay $60 a month for 5M service (from a local Co-op that's the only game in town) which just isn't fast enough for my mom's dream of a work from h

I think small to mid scale farm ag-tech is going to become huge in the next decade. We already see large industrial farms making use of more and more tech what happens when that tech scale shrinks down.

I was really suspicious about this article not for the content but rather about the actions of the poster. They created an account just to post this article. They have no other comments on any other articles. Their screen name is similar to

It feels like to me there’s no good answer to this problem. If we don’t open schools there is two options that I can think of. One that a parent quits their job and stays home to care for the kids which is probably what most of the HN crow

I think the thing that no one is looking at here is that nursing homes and elderly care centers are going to be hot beds for the the virus. From my understanding China and most of these Asian countries is that don't have nursing homes

The caskets aren’t the only expensive part. Cemeteries often charge exorbitant amounts for headstones and plots. With headstones they lock you in with rules about bronze composition or charge installation fees for outside dealers while stil

I wouldn’t be surprised if during the next few years you saw a number of stories like this come out. From my talks with folks there isn’t as much oversight in the organic sector as we’re led to believe. That’s all hearsay so take it with a

I use Pocket but I've never once went back to look at a bookmark. It's mostly about just removing my FOMO if I close that one tab with that "really cool" article. Which that helps me keep everything a little more tidy.

I think 3 months is long enough to figure out if a company is a good fit for you or not. If you're suffering then leave. Particularly if you enjoyed the last place you worked. Folks may ask but just tell them you left of your own accor

Would you mind providing a little more information about positions available and the tech stack like the other posts here have? I doubt you'll generate much interest with such a generic blurb.
