Is it just me or it became more difficult to search words in a chat? When I try to find something in a chat I would give up if it was written more than a week ago, as you mention scroll is really bad/slow and searching doesn’t help, so

4) Instagram Stories are changing users’ behavior. I don’t have any data to support this claim, but I’ve seen people posting more stories than regular posts, my wife usually closes the app after she’s done watching her latest stories. So, m

Sure, and the past has showed us that it’s possible to live peacefully, but it’s difficult to reach peace when billions of dollars and thousands of guns are being handed to the cartels every year. They say everyone has a price, if that’s tr

I cannot talk from all Latin America, but at least in my city gangs imported a lot of the pop culture from the American ghettos, everyone has a sibling, cousin or friend who emigrated to the US, when they come back to their cities either be

Some years ago I would had strongly disagreed with you. But now that I’ve lived in a city where the organized crime has been “disorganized” I can confirm it becomes hell, too many small gangs with no big bosses, making small and big crimes

Mexico City is in rank 704, I didn't expect that. I don't know if Mexico City is doing better or if the other 700 cities are nightmares. Well at least the pollution average in the city went down from 2017 to 2018.

For me (a Hispanic) it's odd to see any race categorization at all, it seems like an obsession for both right and left wings in the US. Why does it matter so much? White and Hispanic is not mutually exclusive in a lot of cases, the sam

I really liked the idea of a tablet in 2010/2012 when I didn’t have a big screen in my pocket, then new phones with big screens and great resolution arrived and I just started declining the use of my tablet. And that was not because I

I've always loved that about HN, it doesn't matter how obscure the topic is, there will always be someone with first hand exposure to it, they will always add a plus to the article.

> And in two years it'll be obsolete anyway, because by then Microsoft will have completely changed their direction, again. You could say the same about the whole industry, also I don't think "obsolete" is a good term

Uhmm, maybe it depends on the phone? I backpacked Europe 4 years ago without a data plan and I have all my location history logged, it seems like it kept it on my phone while offline and then it uploaded it when connected, I used a Galaxy S

Yes, I don't know about others but I actually prefer this, I would see it as an improvement, URLs should be opened in a browser not the app, that way you have the full functionality enabled, but then again that's just my personal

I used to think the same about laptops, until I got my Macbook Pro in 2013. I wanted an SSD laptop, there weren't too many options at the time (at least not in my city), one of the options was the Macbook Pro and the difference in pric

It has always amazed how hard it must be to debug an issue in a human being, you need to check A, B, and C, but if you check C your human will be scared since it could indicate your human has cancer, if you check B it will be expensive sinc

Actually I've rarely considered duplicate questions as a bad thing, I like to open a bunch of related questions (usually a couple of them tagged as "duplicates") and check which one fits my problem better.

I don't know about other countries, but that also happens to me with Google Maps in Mexico. I sometimes query a street located in my city and it will send me thousands of kilometers away (even if they do have the street in their DB). I

I learned to do that not too long ago, I started reading Asimov’s Fundation trilogy, but I struggled picking the book from my desk every single time, I was supposed to love it, everyone loves Asimov, so I had to love it too, but I just coul

A little off-topic, the art in the first picture is stunning, the colors, shadows, shapes, lines. I've always imagined random individuals painting in caverns. But looking at this paint makes me wonder how many generations of painters h

I just took the vocab test and I scored around 9800 words, I've been thinking on improving my vocabulary but it was difficult to know how bad or good I was. Now thanks to your site I know where I am and how far should I aim to, thanks!

Not being able to buy a necessity gets you in a scary and impotent situation. I’ve seen that twice in my city, the first one was when an unusual cold winter arrived, temperatures went down to -25 Celsius, maybe that doesn’t sound as much f

What do you think needs to happen for non-techies to start being concerned about this topics? I find at least one new scandal article every day regarding privacy in big software companies, but I rarely hear any complains or concerns from no
