i agree 1000%, and i don’t think anything i said contradicts what you’re saying :) my point wasn’t meant to be about employment, but about having something important to do/contribute, should have caveated that it wasn’t just about “job

this is great, thanks for sharing —- really solid frame, feels clarifying of my concerns here

I don't disagree, but the implication of it not being at least possible without tremendous effort vaguely concerns me. Just wanted to explore the hypothetical. I also mean the question narrowed down to social media, too, though. I do w

i mean i agree -- for context, i've been in read-only mode aside from here for a bit now, but i wonder what the remaining venues for social interaction will be in our internet-dominated culture, especially post-covid. even as i quit ev

The fascinating thing about this spatial audio wave to me is that it was basically available almost a decade ago. I remember one of the first apps I downloaded on my iPod Touch in middle school (~2011) was a "binaural audio" app t

yeah, somewhat often —- it’s basically a way for me to verify whether a goal is actually a goal for me (if i don’t care enough to meet a deadline or at least try, it’s not a goal and it’s weighing me down to act like i care about it/ex

I'm curious, being relatively removed from this context (last I explored the options, stuff like PhoneGap was still going on lol): with its native toolchain, does Apple try to actively compete with and/or disadvantage stuff like R

ejected myself from a twitter addiction just a few months ago and this resonated. i think people read the “zombie” comparison as metaphor; IME, it’s pretty literally accurate. the realization that snapped me out of it cold turkey was that m

I think this is an interesting question because HN is relatively quiet relative to the bigger events deep in crypto land (eg. new protocols / markets / etc), whereas for everything else tech, speculative or not, you usually see HN

Not to be too cynical, but is this Apple watch "solo loop" coming in a bunch of fixed sizes a means by which they reduce/minimize the ability to buy/sell used Apple Watches? Or at their scale does it not really make a di

I get the sense that part of the problem with book recs vs. YouTube video recs is that you can evaluate the quality of a video recommendation super quickly (click in, find out like 10 seconds in that you don't care for it, click out).

Damn, I used to spend hours and hours as a kid on the dan-ball.jp version of this, what a throwback. Absolutely loved going through the gallery and seeing all the super elaborate stuff people built too.
