If we care about suffering, that would be very bad news, considering how many insects there are. Also, I would be more surprised if they didn't feel pain. The game, in all living things, is to live long enough to reproduce, and sustain

”We’re building value, not just taking it away from someone else.” Bullshit. Meta's whole business is predation on user's attention. If I am scrolling their stupid page, then I am not scrolling some other stupid page. This is as z

Not sure if this is the advice you are looking for but what helps me most is to plan every next day in advance, usually the evening before. For this purpose I use Microsoft To Do with due date on each task. It allows me to have all my tasks

Morrowind is amazing. One of the most unique game worlds i have ever experienced. I used to just wander around and explore without purpose, and always ended up finding some cool spot or an npc. I doubt i will ever get so immersed in a game

Torments gameplay is not convoluted. The game is mostly about reading. Very unique and cerebral and quirky. It's awesome.

"How do I turn the wheel of time back and undo my career mistake" - you don't. You evaluate and move forward: What is the next best thing for you in the current place and time?

I get the idea of there being something valuable to doing stuff manually and that corporeal activities are something that engages us humans potentially more than screens. But the rest of the article - yikes. Clearly written by a boomer that

This is also my feeling. Isn't cellular automata also about the possible and impossible transformations? I find both constructor theory and Wolfram project fascinating, refreshing and fun

What I found to work for me is keeping myself moving and taking time to reflect on the current situation and actively plan my next steps that I know will benefit me or make me progress in what I care about or find fun. Once I know my genera

I dislike mind maps because they always impose a central point/root and enforce hierarchy. I prefer to just have free floating nodes that I can attach however I want and build clusters. That way my thoughts are not constrained and and

Interesting, my initial reaction to reading the abstract was: why are we thinking about UX instead of investing the money and time in fixing the root cause - illiteracy? But then I thought: It's not that people can't read or writ

AFAIK, Microsoft moves most of it's cloud services to Europe by the end of this year for their European clients [1] So I guess where's a will there's a way - they just need a "little" nudge. Should be good for data

It's funny how all this talk about democracy and freedom goes to shit as soon as some redneck's dink tingles and he and his buddies start mailing Alphabet about a girl's cleavage... ah the mythical land of the free.

HN for me is the equivalent of "being the dumbest person in the room", ie. I get to learn a lot and get confronted with new and challenging ideas, which is great.

I suspect that his headaches might have been due to dehydration - Modafinil does indeed make me pee a little bit more/more often, but since I am drinking water constantly I don't consider this a negative side effect and I also don

I've been using Modafinil daily for about 2,5 years and I am currently under its effect. I buy it online and pay with Bitcoins. I use armodafinil if I want more focus, and I use modafinil if I am tired. I don't take the full dos

I own a T430 myself and have enjoyed using it for a couple of years already. Very durable, reliable and upgradable - plus its just fun to use. I removed the CD Rom and put an SSD in its place; upgraded to 8GB Ram; got a GTX 1050ti as an ext

Don't compare yourself to others, instead think about where you were X years ago vs. now and recognize the progress you have made. As for successes of other people - the fact that they succeeded means success is possible, likely also t
