It definitely has had that effect for some, and I think that the promise of vaccines is probably exacerbating things since there's now the feeling of "I _could_ be out of this if only…". What's helped me to stay in a pos

Back in the good old days of independent dial-up ISPs, the owner of one of our local ISPs (somehow a logging town had more than one local ISP...crazy to imagine now, isn't it?) found Jesus and decided to filter all traffic for objectio

Similarly, I got a shoutout/tag on a PR that used some of my code. It made my day, and made me assume that the org the engineer works in must be a pretty good place to work.

Interesting summary. Since fathers make unique contributions to the development of their children (eg language development [0] and social skills[1]), it makes sense that the children would also affect the fathers, if they're connected&

In addition to being a cool hardware hack, this is probably the best Kickstarter project ad I’ve ever seen. Sign me up as a backer.

We are expecting a baby next year, and I'm planning to wear the infant during good chunks of the workday once I'm off parental leave. I hope it'll help give my wife some time to herself and with our toddler. And it'll be

Help me to understand how you're reading this graph. I understand it to mean that in 1949 minimum wage was $4.22 an hour in 2018 dollars. Does that graph show worker productivity as well? Similarly I do not understand your assertion th

Perhaps he is doing this with the worst of intentions, so therefore this will become one of the best things in history. :)

I agree with you both. I'd be worried if Vanguard suddenly became like Robinhood. There's a new version of the Vanguard app on the App Store called "Beacon" that includes a very useful visual overhaul (account balances &

Prior to the pandemic I went to the gym 3-4 days/week, alternating between HIIT on a bike and an endurance workout on an elliptical. I knew I would need to find an alternative since gyms were no longer safe, but due to space restrictio

The headline seems to be getting a more attention than the content of the article; that's disappointing, especially here on HN. It seems like the author is expressing opinions that others in the comments also hold: > We should be wo

Do you have data points to disprove it? I'm not aware of any data on how often police engage in physical altercations with civilians. One of the points the article makes is that the NYPD actively misrepresents such altercations that co

This looks like original reporting by Buzz Feed News, so linking to Buzz Feed News would seem to be the right choice. Listicle Buzz Feed ≠ Buzz Feed News. Drudge has been doing this kind of linking for a while – rather than linking to WaPos

Yeah, I think that's why so many choose to go Bezos Bald™. Hides the makes-you-look-old balding hairline and _also_ mirrors the look of so many executives.

Funny to read this today – last night I started reading the book Corporate Confidential[0], which gives exactly the same advice; it's not bad to be old, but it's bad to be perceived as old. The book recommends what your friend did

I'm curious how you know the copy uploaded to ZLib was purchased with a stolen card? From metadata in the book? Or because purchase + upload date match? Years ago I remember seeing services on Alibaba that would get you any Kindle eboo

I read this as another step by Boeing to get rid of its unionized workforce in Washington in favor of plants in other states and in China. The market downturn provides a nice rationale for doing so.
