I sympathize with your feeling, but it’s a little astonishing how easily “hacked” human brains are. I don’t think you have to be feeble minded or a child to spend hundreds of dollars a week on digital avatars.

Something I never intended to learn: “pog” is an acronym for “passion fruit - orange - guava”.

I’m curious as to why others behave this way for any discernible pattern to emerge. I’m more likely to comment on Reddit as opposed to on HN because I sort of make a quick simulation of how it will be received. Depending on my mood and whet

I’m unsure of whether this is a joke or not.

I’m actually in the middle of a bad GI flare-up, and soylent is a god send. I forget to eat, solid foods are hard to digest, I oversleep and miss meal times, etc. A bottled soylent helps me get back on track quickly.

Some people have a hard time engaging with ideas that might cast them in a negative, ethical light. I’ve had people abruptly stop me from explaining ethical vegetarianism, even though they initiated the conversation haha

I study the Spotify web app a lot. What is it about the app that you don’t like?

Have you ever tried the sponges with soap dispensing handles? They’ve made dishwashing so much more tolerable for me lol

The Apple Pay stuff was basically the only reason I increased my footprint in Apple’s ecosystem.

Do you maintain a status page for this project? It sounds like it could be awesome.

I think I’m appending “Reddit” to about 70% of my searches these days.

It would be cool to be able to use Google Pay with nfc on my iPhone. There has been previous discussion on Apple’s lockdown of nfc for payments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21544531 It appears Germany passed a law

My little dog recently started learning new ways of communicating with us. She does the standard pawing at the door of a room she wants to enter. She then began pawing at her food bowl when she wants food. It now seems like she has started

Compare this reaction to Greenpeace’s (arguably one of the most prominent radical activist organizations) eventual cooperation with Facebook after accusing it of powering a data center with 60% coal-generated electricity. They agreed on a w

Woah, that map feature sounds amazing! When I’m super bored and feeling curious about other places, I’ll pop on over to https://map.snapchat.com It doesn’t require an account, works on any browser (including mobile) and lets you

Ah, that does clarify that idea further. I had some inkling of it but couldn’t quite place it. Thanks!

It’s hard to believe he has achieved what he has without the support of his partner. That’s kinda the point of splitting assets upon divorce, because the law recognizes that partnership as (ideally) having been a shared effort to the benefi

This is such an interesting point. Is the value of a future life worth less than a life closer to our present moment? I can’t help but feel like there’s some sort of logical fallacy there, akin to speciesism, wherein we value lives that are

Doesn’t that double the support surface? Bugs are still going to pop-up in the old interface, and so do you still tackle those or move engineer focus to the new interface? It seems weird to continue spending engineer time on an interface th

The first time I encountered gumbo was its smell wafting from a microwave in a shared office space. I’m still astonished that anyone could tolerate that smell and actually find it pleasing. It reminded me of when my mom would bring home kim

This situation reminds me more of like when Bruce Springsteen objected to Trump using the song Born in the USA. Springsteen is alive to object. Camus isn’t alive to object, but looking at his past thinking, it’s not far fetched to presume t

There’s some evidence that current streaming habits are actually affecting how music is produced. For example, it seems most listeners will spend a few seconds listening to a second before deciding whether to skip it, so intro sections in p

I don’t believe in free will. It has been a much different experience than shedding my belief in God. When I was young I used to “sense” someone always watching me, to the point of feeling shame in natural situations like bathing. One day t

Similar things have happened to me when me and my previous punk band used to play at unsuspecting bars hahaha. I love Glass and Reich even more now!

I really like this train of thought. I want to push on the idea of an AI-focused corporation “insulating” itself from backlash. I think what’s happening here is an example of the human agents inside of a corporation acting human, counter to
