You don't think every platform will be doing the same within a year or two?

That's really harsh. Grief affects people in different ways. It can be overwhelming.

I love this, and my lottery dream consists of funding a scalable, interactive, tag-based version that allows layering of different topics. As a schoolteacher, the woolly mammoths/pyramids moments are great for my 12/13 year old st

Hi there, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog post - especially the part about single-purpose software. It's a recurring tension in my digital/physical existence.

Yep, I couldn't even finish this flag-waving trash. I'm curious to see how others on HN read it. In various corners of the internet I'm getting familiar vibes of post-911 rally-round-the-flag sentiments. Except that as you sa

It's not a speech on how "humans are terrible". He's putting things into perspective, echoing similar thoughts to some of the astronauts that have seen Earth from above - that we need to work together to preserve our fra

He's a pretty prolific writer. He also started Wired, maybe has a podcast too? At the least he has been a guest on what seems like a million of them. Just running out the door so I can't fact check myself sorry. Thought you might

Wow, thank you for this. I'd not heard of Kvæsitso until now. I'm enjoying it!

Agreed, I enjoy this one more than any other but only remembered it because I saw it here after seeing on Tildes a few days ago.

I use the same group of apps plus the calendar. What do you use for that? I'm finding it great with a couple of niggles. Not opposed to jumping, even there's some friction.

> restaurants and hospitality in general are absurd cheapskates. You've never run a bar or restaurant have you. What do you think the profit margins are?

Exposure (excuse the pun) is incredibly difficult for photographers. A platform like instagram removes a barrier (a self-run website). The popularity of instagram helps with the number of eyeballs.

Are DMs possible on HN? I have about 9 invites on Tildes :-)

Perhaps you should have used that term instead.

Your Formula Non photos are incredible. I love the banality of behind-the-scenes to be found at sporting events, especially longer ones.

Is “ever so trendy” a pejorative? Because the Ooni he mentions is amazing . Three of my brothers (two of them chefs) have them and they make a huge difference. I’m sure there’s plenty sold to people who can’t make a decent pizza with or wi

I'll admit I was baiting you a bit there - I apologise. I was running out the door and didn't want to forget. The thing about "what has happened" is that it actually leaves a lot of room for bad faith reporting. You can
