There's "objecting" and then "changing habits because of objections". Worlds apart.

Controversial suggestion: maybe we need to get used to remembering and finding less rather than being on the endless search for The Tool That Does It All. There's something intoxicating about breathing in the latest ZettleNoteMarkdow

Man, just what I popped in here to say too. Looks like something from the late 80s.

Such a great point and one I had when I started seriously meditating a couple of years ago. It's only now really that I'm starting to be able to just sit, without a goal, without some sense of "am I enlightened yet" as a

I'm with you on this. I mean, I struggle with it - Trump, CV, Brexit, etc - it's all pretty clickbaity stuff, built for hours of mindless browsing - but ultimately, what does an endless newscycle actually do to an individual? I li

Amen to that. One life, live it well. To me that doesn't mean 80 hour weeks, 40 years of working and dropping dead of exhaustion the day I retire. I'm alright for that, thanks. Would rather be slightly poorer financially (some mig

Really well done, slick onboarding, nice and simple UI, pricing page makes sense. Good work!

I just need you all to pony up and buy me one. Presume that’s ok?

Looks nice. I spent ages trying to find a solution that does a nice mix of cross platform, own hard drive, cloud. I eventually found it in the shape of https://mylio.com/ Along lines of other comments here, none of my other

That’s a terrible reductionist argument, and you know it. It’s also avoiding the point.

I just see tax dodgers as morally redundant people. I try hard to think about it another way, but I just can't. It seems obvious to me from reading extensively around this that we have very little basis for arguing the case for free wi

Honest answer to an honest question? Because the nerds are in charge. I’ve lost count of the number of times dev types have been put in marketing or management roles because someone thought that stuff is easy. Imagine putting a marketing ty

Totaly agree with this analysis. I've got a Furna motorised standing desk, a wobble board and a kneeling stool. Apart from looking like a middle-class numpty in some kind of hellhole physio studio, it's actually pretty great havin

Literally everything in your list is about developers. Literally nothing in your list is about editors or end users. Maybe take a look at the words "content management platform" and consider whether maybe developers aren't th

I have to say, this is how it looks from my (UK) point of view. The recent Rolling Stone piece [ https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/c... ] was along similar lines. We watched a documentary [

Impression here is that all US homes have interior alarms and cameras - interesting if that isn't the case! I'm also slightly unclear why. I mean, you look at your phone and see some guy wandering around your house - how does that

Point taken but in defence I believe they're almost all state and not private, plus distribution is fairly much exclusive to cities. And yeh, outdoors.

Brit here, once again failing to understand this complete obsession with filling your houses (and lives!) with cameras at all let alone with useless flying ones?? From this side of the pond it just looks absolutely insane, full of paranoi

It doesn’t do this. It works with the html you give it, no extra fluff. I’ve been very impressed.

I loved Sparrow. I’m a Spark addict now, haven’t been this pleased with an email app. I normally jump around when stuff gets crappy and slow but Spark just keeps on giving. Highly rate it, both for Mac and android.

This. It's a pain in the ass and I've been bitten by it several times. Most recently, trying to transfer funds to my own son . It's a great example of a "good in theory, devil in detail" system. Barclays does it we

Here's what's astounding to me: scrolling through the responses here on HN shows an almost total focus on money and career. I read the piece and thought about life and personal ambition. That's kinda interesting. Anyway, fwiw

I'll go against the grain of all the people saying "why didn't I think of this, it's brilliant" and say: I'm not sure this is such a good idea. Like: where's the place where All The Things are clamouring f
