We’ll be firmly upper middle class, but I am aware that the housing market is pretty brutal at the moment. If we moved, it wouldn’t be for financial benefit, looking for a quality of life improvement. Our bet would be that the social safety

I wrote a bit recently about why I still collect music on CDs. Here are my 3 reasons, which echo a lot of the comments: 1. To Support the Artist, 2. To Own the Music, 3. To Collect Artifacts (which is fun) I also found a few recent attempts

This one has been around for a few years now, without much active development. Is there a reason it’s popping up again now, seems like they’ve shipped a new version? Anyone using it have an opinion?

This has been posted to HN a handful of times, mostly either ignored or criticized. I’m posting it again in the hopes of fostering a discussion around the idea. Could something like this actually work? What would it look like? Is the idea o

Just a quick alternative viewpoint: as a parent, I’ve been turned off by Aldi in the past. Often with a toddler and/or car seat in hand, unlocking a cart (for example) is not just an inconvenience, it’s a dealbreaker. I’m into the purs
