This is where it went right: https://stackoverflow.blog/2009/03/09/the-value-of-downvotin... They thought about the system really well. It's based off HN's. And it worked. HN's system still wor

Ask a legitimate question, and you'll likely feel it. But here's an example I picked up within a minute: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78580749/draw-a-cube-wit... The code is neat. The person clear

I think this is pretty much the problem: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/10/super-rich-aba... I'm curious what's your opinion on this. Is it fine for super rich people to go elsewher

I like the idea of this magical tax. There's a lot of unearned wealth that was stolen, illegal, through wars or various forms of corruption. Unfortunately, these taxes won't work on them. If they were obtained illegally or uneth

Because it's always better to have wealth move around in the population. Finance is like blood, it must flow. When wealth gets stuck in the hands of a few, it creates recessions and political instability. In some countries, the poor do

AI has made some once absurd ideas possible. For example, you can hardcode personal details and have a resume builder export it to PDF or a web portfolio. It'll probably be less work than formatting a resume in Word. Leave AI to do rep

I meant as we use them. Exclusionary of the [HN crowd]. I don't think most of the ones we use market to children anyway. And social networks rely on a network effect to be useful. They will certainly find a way to socialise on the in

We give them access. They get bored of it because their friends aren't on it. They will swipe on TikTok, but it's missing the social aspect. When is the last time you met anyone younger than 20 on Instagram? I'd be skeptical

There's apps like Google Family Link which basically gives you and the child a contract and enforces that contract. Screen times on what days. What they install. The kind of media they can view on the YouTube on the device. Even if you

They don't really have any interest in social media as we use them. It's likely there will be some other new form of social media, probably something more metaverse like Roblox or Minecraft. As a kid, I remember we had these thing

No. My 4 year old will bring up a book to me at 11 PM and force me to teach him how to read. My other child used to cry at 4 years old whenever she got second place, and that includes being the second person in the house to shower that morn

Annual subscription to Cursor. Easily one of the most powerful pieces of software out there and even if it's the only thing that survives this AI bubble, I'd be very happy.

Likely one of the earthquakes in this tsunami is Twitter firing 80% of employees and then coming out of it financially better. If Jason Fried did it, people would laugh it off as an outlier, but the richest man in the world did, and so he&#

Some web forms do reject them. It's common to just have a separate .com email for those, which is just redundant.

This works when people can compete on something measurable. But when you have teams split into feed, messaging, and ads, something else might be needed to measure value.

This really is a cynical take and is probably reinforcing how many view salespeople. "Oh I could be good at sales, but I have morals ." Sales isn't difficult. It's just telling people what you have that makes their live

I was working on a horror game. I wanted to narrow the theme down to a specific time and location. Something like the Salem witch trials or Vlad the Impaler era is too cliche. I remembered that a relative was stuck on the Flores island east

Bluesky has moderation figured out and they hide rude comments by default so the habit of being rude doesn't spread as easily. The downside is it feels a lot more passive aggressive. Like instead of criticizing conservatives who vote f

Feature flags are not 100% reliable. They tend to be booleans of two different values. We've had complications on the null path, e.g. we assumed all mobile use would be either from Android or iOS, but sometimes an Android device refuse

Ironic. Out there are artists who feel intense anxiety from the advancements of AI sapping away at their passion. Here is someone who has both passion and money, feeling the same kind of anxiety. We've been told it's not a zero su
