The raw numbers are less important than the quality of those numbers. The HN audience is unlike any other when it comes to visitors who are more likely to accomplish your "business goal". By that I mean, this community will signup

YES! This is awesome. Have it up and running with Slack. I checked for: * Thread support (yes) * Drag n drop images (yes) * SSO support (yes) * Quick Switcher (yes) * Default dark mode (yes (!!)) There are some things missing, like search,

This is a wonderful post. Video games are my favourite hobby, and I still love them even as I get older. The more knowledge the general public has on the harm of these methodologies, the better.

I am probably alone in this, but... Yes, I lost $15,000 — but if you’re going to lose money on a budgeted, high risk investment, it’s great to do so embroiled in the strangest of human/technical dramas. I am loving it.

Team sports. I grew up playing competitive hockey. I learned from a very young age that I am not special, that the team is stronger than an individual, and magic happens when everyone commits to their role. I am grateful for this gift, and

Gender issues are a convenient way to double productive output and, apparently, double forced military enrolment. Mindless work for everyone; the right to live and die for someone else's interests.

I would be heart broken to learn that my work was used to facilitate killing. I empathize for the developers involved; I hope those that feel as I do find brighter opportunities.

I get lambasted for this opinion all the time, but I am still holding it... The Blackberry was the peak of efficient, minimal phone usage: * It optimized for doing things like short letter and message writing well through the keyboard. * Bl

Ahh, yes this speaks right to me. I went through a loop in the latter half of 2018 trying all the best of modern gaming: World of Warcraft, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Breath of the Wild... I have always loved games and been an enthusias

Nice post! I have been thinking much about this for my own written works... My strange conclusion was to not capture analytics at all. My loose metric is now: which posts inspire people to email me directly? I have decided I do not want to

Technical writing! Are you an engineer? Do you love writing? Want to work in an environment that is far less stressful, but just as intellectually stimulating? You get to write neat articles, create helpful documentation. You are the first

With mood disorders, there is a moment where an individual decides: "yes, I am going to get better." For many reasons, getting to this pivotal choice is very difficult. In metaphor, each person keeps their affliction locked within

The team that I work with is very diligent. No one has ever had a breakdown, acute/persistent anxiety, PTSD, or anything similar as a result of what has happened in the ceremonies. We are careful with screening candidates that might be

Trips often elevate beyond dualistic thinking. Common dualistic spectrums include good and bad, light and dark, heaven and hell, wet or dry, dead or alive, human and non-human, space or time... The experiences are ineffable and unlike anyth

Psychedelic mushrooms are powerful medicine. They have a psychoactive effect which alters brain chemistry and helps neurological disorder. We can see that in the paper. But then so do anti-depressants. I believe the key difference between p

My partner and I both work remotely. We are lucky to be close to downtown Vancouver. We can take a SeaBus into town and venture to one of the many co-working facilities if we feel we would like to work in a more bustling environment. My par

Woohoo! I once heard a metaphor on HN for the growth of software products. Building technology as War. Start-up: Your initial core of members make up the ELITE team. They are the ones that storm the enemy lines, cutting the throats of the e

This is off-side. This is akin to a cigarette dealer being proud of the grotesqueries on the side of the cartons that warn you of their side-effects. Culture is in shambles and recovery from the magnificent impact of the Internet will need

Please HN... Can we approach this with an open-mind? These technologies have major promise. I do not see the use in being reactively closed mind and negative towards the efforts here. As an Ethereum - not a "crypto" - supporter, I
