Your comment reminded me of '1985' by Bowling For Soup and just how real it is for some of us :') Jake just hit a wall, he was ambitious to a fault. One Vyvanse a day, helps him work for the wage. His dreams went out the door

Those lucky scientists. The picture is honestly breathtaking. Can’t even begin to imagine how they must have felt in actually being there …in the cold, sitting in the small watercraft inching closer by the minute as the operator navigates

The finders new situation is kinda lame; the IRS taxes you on the FMV of the found property which usually means that you're essentially forced to sell a bit to cover the taxes. > Found property. If you find and keep property that do

I suppose this will be a litmus test on how valuable long-established moderators are to the platform. At the end of the day, they are volunteers who are now boarding themselves behind the property of their digital landlord so the risk of ev

I’ve (slowly) begun to make an archive of all my Google data so it will be less-awful should something ever happen. Your story scares the crap out of me because I (already) have an account that I’ll never be able to access again either - c’

There was a post here about a year ago that summarizes this pretty well[1]; I've honestly gone back to read it a few times for my own projects as it offers some good perspective and framing. > My take is, if a community is constrain

Hmm, two apparent ones come to mind: - Concentration of ‘voting power’: if more investors flock to index funds, a smaller group of fund managers will have more voting power on behalf of their clients. Theoretically, a ‘concentration of p

I don't mean this in any sort of negative context - curating your online presence is a never-ending task - but I believe that the authors primary expectation was to drive traffic to their online accounts by publishing a post on the sub

Oh wow, thank you! That's awesome to know. Love this site - the breadth of knowledge and willingness to share it is so refreshing.

Reddit has been around for long enough that there isn't really a good reason as to why a user can't block out entire subreddits (vs "muting") from appearing in their feeds - there are ways to use the site that accomplish

I think we're just so used to higher-quality audio/video from the last decade in particular; I recently pulled some videos off of my old LG Env2 from high school [to archive the Fall Out Boy/All Time Low concert at The Rave (

I'm reminded of the time I heard of the story of a US town blowing up a beached whale with TNT that didn't go as planned in high-school when we were on unit discussion the mechanisms of explosives. I think the teacher was there(?)

Neat, this isn't the first time I've seen something like this come up so it essentially validates the use-case for them. I remember seeing a post on Reddit[1] about ~4 years ago made by the same person who made this[2] post on HN

Twitter is a great place for creatives to pitch their shows and get scooped up into a studio if you can put out some high-quality work. Mastodon doesn't seem like it has any solid use case to that end. Craig McCracken, the creator of P

This is an interesting idea and I truly wish you the best of luck! Committing from the early stages of late night conception to sitting down and hammering out a demo is no small task. Your premise reminded me of another startup I read about
