It's an interesting idea, but I have a tough time with the premise that people will choose to record a video of themselves for everyday asynchronous communication rather than type a message. There are situations were video or audio del

I'm curious; were you an employee at the startups or a founder? The experience (and stress levels) will vary quite a bit between the two (and I'm not saying startup employees have it easy by any stretch). I can definitely see some

I've done both working from home and now co-working. Currently, I prefer co-working, but that's because I've become more of an entrepreneur and less "just" developer. Yes, the separation of work and home is nice (an

This might be a factor, but I live in a neighbourhood where there are plenty of SAHM's and it's not like kids play is flourishing like it did in my generation (and there are plenty of kids). There are multiple factors. I also thin

I think the social aspect will be extremely dependent on how much the parents put into that part. The majority of home-schooled kids (now adults) I know, were socially stunted because of it, but I don't believe this is as much a fault

I agree it's quite high, but knowing the "baseline", whatever that is would help give some context. They give the Bush & Obama numbers for other categories, but I didn't see it for this one. But based on what's

In thinking about an answer, you made me realize one of the things I love about HN: trolling or negativity for the sake of being negative isn't allowed to accumulate attention (in general). It is dealt with swiftly and the discussion m
