A vintage Bates stamp auto-numbering machine is a perfect complement to paper journals. It makes a satisfying whirr-thunk sound; the polished handle and the reset cogs are a tactile delight; and even the ink has a distinctive aroma. https:

I really love that I spent more time on this, than on the 3 HN articles I read about amping your productivity and forming good habits.

Can I charge you my hourly rate for the last hour I just spent? Bookmarking this, more hours will give their lives for the worthy quest of beating your dad.

This is really cute. Addictive, even. Which dictionary does it use? Official Scrabble Players Dictionary? Could it say which one in the instructions? There are words in OSPD (ex. fab) that aren't accepted. It also accepts words (ex. oo

There was a more recent transaction: $3.6M on Feb. 27, "the first time in more than a year that Becker had sold shares in parent company SVB Financial Group." So, update "6 weeks ago" to "11 days ago," does it

Yes, this, thanks. The missing Chief Risk Officer is an issue. It's not necessarily nefarious, but the optics aren't great either. Edited to not repeat what you said. :)

Interesting that higher concentrations can be less effective? Did I get that right? Sounds complex. And complexity doesn't always mix well with the virality / popularity of a narrative.

Re the website: I checked this out, I love the concept, it's super cute and relatable! I love the idea of de-guiltifying relationship maintenance. It's a thing we all struggle with. Gamifying it, and making it fun, is a wonderful
