Don’t confuse this with normal or common treatment What are these normal treatments? Pharmaceuticals like Ritalin and Adderall? Asking because I don’t know not that I’m taking this anywhere, but when people talk about behavioral control o

There’s a small part of my brain that wonders what the vacuum effect of twitter suddenly disappearing would even look like. Partly terrified but infinitely curious to poke that hypothetical techno-philosophical bear.

What, "aliens" or otherwise "artificial"? Is that the 'commonly understood' implication you mean? It's okay to say it. My question is, is it “commonly understood” or is it merely a convenient and very fu

I’d argue they’ve been here for a while and we just called it “cinema”. Remember all the superimposed historical scenes from Forrest Gump? The technology got easier, everyone became a publisher, and now we have a more prickly name for it.

I hope this post stays at the number one spot on the front page for long enough that a certain satirical HN-review page to pick up, and comment on. :)

Better that we ask commenters "Is this what you mean?" Many times voters are probably misinterpreting comments. I’ve observed two interesting outcomes from this, even as someone who has challenged himself to seek clarity and und

If it’s a number “they’re not supposed to give out” how is anyone supposed to know to call this group and not the airport directly?

I’ve thought once or twice about starting such a forum, but it’d probably be a bad idea because I have an incredibly fuse which probably won’t do well for the community as a forum leader at large. And at this point in time-a historically l

I imagine it was downvoted because it came across as a jab at the HN moderators. Interesting. The comment seemed quite broad and generalized for one to come to that specific assumption, just because HN happens to be the where the discussi

It was amusing to me watching this comment turn grey when first stumbling upon it, I wonder if some apparently think entithas is just lying about it or if they’ve truly never come across a moderator or group of moderators who were just a po

Yup. This is my precise annoyance with the styling. I understand not everyone will bother to read greyed out comments because they trust the wisdom of the crowd here. I do not. As a result, reading the comments adds one extra step now just

Apparently that’s their intended function according to mods[0] I just prefer downvoted comments don’t turn grey just because some may disagree with it, it’s an annoying UX personally, as I’ve actually found some interesting information I ha

There’s benefits in a healthy amount of both, doing it well requires balance like a lot of things do-plus the self-awareness and humility to reflect both on what you’re reading and being told by those around you.

You inclined at all to explain where you see these two being comparable? I’m lost as to what it is you’re trying to say with this statement.

Those companies are bad. There’s ways to train users and secure material on slack. Picking bad tools and firing users for trying to work around IT rules punishes innovation and results in worse employees. If they just capriciously fire so

That’s awesome! If nothing else, improving clarity and understanding among each other and making communication easier as our workforces become more globally and linguistically varied is-if nothing else decent and appropriate, right?
