VM is becoming more of a necessity these days due to robocalls. I have any numbers that aren’t on my contacts go straight to VM, and that’s how I get in touch with non-contacts that I really want calling me. In my experience, the signal:noi

You sound like you live alone, or at the very least cook your meals just for you. Because this doesn't seem like it would work at all if you're making meals for multiple people.

I've WFH for the past 8+ years, my kids are now 18 and 15 (so they were 10 and 7 when I started WFH). They can definitely be a distraction, but I was able to minimize it by having an office with a door + setting reasonable boundaries.

I think I read somewhere (possibly from dang) that this was intentional, as subscribing tends to lead to more arguing. Edit: didn’t like dropping this without a reference, so dug one up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=

You’ve been able to delete the Music app for a while. If the U2 album is the first thing to play, it sounds like you may not use the Music app anyway. Just delete it and problem solved (though agree with the general rage caused by this prom

It seems like there is enough studies and science backing that too much phone use can cause problems — especially doing a lot of multitasking. I say “seems like” without saying definitively, since I’m not quoting sources. But I’ve seen en

Don’t most parents of children live outside of cities? Obviously there are many families that live in cities, but cities seem to mostly draw younger professionals that don’t (yet) have children, and often once these people start having fami

Oddly, while I didn’t really remember the song growing up (in US, probably wasn’t played on my stations), I pretty much loved it since hearing it on SiriusXM First Wave about 10 years ago. I’ve loved hearing how it was used in Stranger Thin

No, but many use it (selectively) on mulch beds. I’m assuming that’s what that means by using it on lawns (vs. farms).

This is exactly what I was thinking, and why I think it’s bigger news (vs. me just hearing about it a day later via non-HN sources).

I wonder why it’s only record highs and not record lows, too? I’d be interested to see extremes on both ends.

“Upset” is usually used to refer to a one-off, when a team expected to win has been defeated by an underdog, but then the team often returns to their former level of dominance. So your analogy suggests Netflix will quickly return to its for

Not everyone in the world lives in a city, and for some folks, cars are a necessity. Sure, for some folks in the city, moving towards a car-less world may be ideal, but it’s not practical for every single person on the planet.

No kidding. Yelp is an abysmal dark-pattern-laden product, and I avoid it at all costs. Why would anybody partner with them. It’s like partnering with GoDaddy.

I guess it’s hard to imagine the upsides of straight razors justifying the (apparent) downsides. I mean, other than a somewhat closer shave, it seems like everything else about them is worse (expense, waste, time/effort, mess, cuts&#x2

Why is a thread on electric razors not the top comment on a post about the expense/waste of straight razors? I get that they have some downsides, but if we’re talking about the expense/waste of straight razors, then it would make

Came here to ask this. Not sure why this isn’t mentioned more — or is it and I’m just overlooking it? Right now the only controls I can figure out on mobile is touch = drop. No way to move anything that I can tell.
