the Notes app native to Apple devices -- given that pretty much all my main devices (phone, laptop) are iCloud-integrated, the Notes app is just convenient, synchronized, and simplistic enough that the barrier-to-creation is very very low.

I definitely think something like that would have potential for virality; something where maybe in order to add someone, you have to be in physical proximity with them when adding. I could totally see that becoming kinda gamified, the objec

I joined in high school, and several things came out of it: - I commented with feedback on a random product posted here several years ago, and got an internship from them out of it - I met a few other high schoolers with similar interests,

To be fair, the post does start with > [Epistemic status: very speculative, asserted with only ~30% confidence. On the other hand, even though psychiatrists don’t really talk about this it’s possible other groups know this all already]

There's a few broad interests/hopes/dreams that I tend to juggle, as is the case for most people. I also have this note in my phone called "pipe dreams", in which, whenever I fantasize or think about something that&

Super excited to see something hip-hop related at the top of HN, especially Kendrick. For anyone looking to understand why he's likely one of the best lyricists/storytellers of our time, here's some recommended songs from him

Came here to say this, especially in the context of his Portugal argument -- sure, consumers in that context can pay less and have restricted access to a select few services. But that's the exact anti-competitive problem -- it's e

Not necessarily related to the problems discussed by the article, but I could definitely see a logical split in terms of the non-Facebook.com platforms that Facebook has acquired (Instagram, Whatsapp, etc). Facebook being able to eat up any

Not sure why you're being downvoted, I'd like to see an answer to this as well. I'd suspect that they've provided quite a few important answers but I'm curious how much power/influence these ideas had in their

I think engagement is better off being a byproduct of value/utility, as opposed to the first-order driver of product decisions (even if that runs contrary to the $$$ in the short-term)

Fair, and (while I'm not wholly educated on the subject) there still is a lot more regulation and consumer attention to those things now. Of course, that may not have been the case a few decades ago, but I think there's a lot to b

Given that a significant chunk of design/product nowadays is centered around 'engagement', the inevitability of this can't be understated. Imagine if our medication, food, etc were designed around engagement. We already

I'm not particularly well-versed in how these things work -- does that mean Facebook would no longer be able to use BSD licensing for React since it's from Apache?

Does Facebook realistically have any incentive to remove the clause? Is there a history of them enforcing it (and forcing a competitor to stop using React)?

I think that's a flawed comparison, at least for some people it has a negative impact (as opposed to simply not being useful enough as a tool). I've actually derived a lot of value from Facebook in the time that I've had it,
