You can setup email notifications for event invites only. It was the least effort way I found to not miss out on them without using the site.

I should've added that my observations were only from the city centre pubs, Uni of students (not Trent) and are a fair few years old. Maybe the 9k fees have really taken a toll, but I struggle to get why anyone would go to a spoons whe

I think that maybe geographically dependent. I went to uni in Nottingham and the clientele was a mix of middle-age stag/hen parties and the older working class - I never saw or heard of students going other than as a toilet stop. But t

What I did is turn on email notifications for event invites - I now find I never really goto the site unless an event pops up that I'm wanting to go to. Haven't really got an alternative and I don't want to be "that guy&

The BBC in the UK airs the Superbowl every year, but the BBC is not allowed to show advertisements. They show the main feed except when ad-breaks happen, at which point they cut to a studio with a host and a couple of pundits who talk about

Me, based on the fact that I am me. Your statement presumes more about people than you can possibly know.

I mean you don't get to act like you're right by predicting someone will point out you're wrong. Advertising does work obviously, hence the market, but it doesn't influence everyone - that's what I take issue with.

Yeah and while you're at it why not make tax a flat fee too?

Yeah this dropped off the front page very quickly. Came back to find the comments probably half an hour after viewing it at the 5th spot, but it was no longer there. It's obvious why it's done but always serves as a reminder of HN

The Open AI guys made a very impressive Dota 2 AI that trained itself through self play (and against pros), there is a pretty interesting write-up about it: https://blog.openai.com/dota-2/

Sure it takes skill to be a scam artist, but that doesn't mean such behavior should be tolerated.

It shouldn't have been a vote without requiring a Supermajority and it certainly shouldn't have been a vote without a third, alternative option.

True, though these days 144Hz monitors are everywhere (Personally I used a CRT until LCDs were capable of 120Hz, not sure I could ever go back to 60), makes a big difference I think when down to a 7ms window. Using a mouse at 125 on a moder

I gave up on the web UI and started using the IRC gateway. Doesn't really miss anything for my usage, but there's always things like wee-slack[1] that offer threads, reactions, etc in an IRC client. [1]: https://github.

I too use both. OSX at work, and Windows (7) at home. They are both bad, neither is the best. I remember spending time trying to figure out how to disable the animation that plays when switching OSX virtual desktops - only to find out that

Ah really? No foreign currency fees? Damn I'm going to Europe at the weekend too, thought the 2% charge my bank does isn't so bad but I may have to finally get on the Monzo train.

In the UK that would be doubling the cost and receiving a much worse service. Tech workers may be uninstalling Uber in protest in the valley but non-tech people do not know that there is even an issue/scandal. When I am sharing a ride
