Their market is well off techies/tech adjacent people that don't care about fashion and just want to be comfy (Allbirds are the butt of jokes in any men's style community). They can't price their shoes too high because t

I'm not going to defend Amazon or capitalism as much as others in the comments, but Allbirds are fairly cheaply made shoe sold at a high price to well off tech workers or tech-adjacent workers. It was only a matter of time until someon

If it's not targeted at tech savvy users (even then, most tech savvy users wouldn't care) and you don't feel any moral/personal drive, don't bother.

Or you really can't do nothing, do a brain dump. Get a piece of paper and a pen, and write down everything that's on your mind: projects you want to do, things to take care of, people you want to hang out with, errands to run, etc

Usually "pay once" software doesn't get free upgrades - just a discount.

Last year and this summer Greece was the trendy vacation location for millennials aged 23-30, most of which work in the tech space and thus can afford such vacations (often in lieu of retirement plans/savings though).

Then turn notifications off. Depends on your workplace culture, but I receive no work-related notifications or emails after work hours and it's fine.

Kinda wish it was $200 more for 32GB of RAM instead of $400 - my only complaint.

This release is essentially a "we messed up, this is what you wanted all long", but they can't say that so they're using the regular MBP marketing talk. Not hating - I am getting this laptop.

Imagine how much better the tech industry would be (in countless ways) if more business owners were content with "small but sustainable".

The only extensions I need are an adblocker (Wipr, 1Blocker) and 1Password.

I am 25 and like using IG but the like count doesn't matter to me. I think for people it matters more WHO liked stuff (or didn't!).

I have a train commute via the NYC subway. I also try to avoid screens... with one exception. I mostly read paper books, if the book I am reading is comfortable to carry. If I can't read I'll listen to something - either a fun pod

Sure, but the more people do this the more managers expect it.

It's a management problem. We have that "problem" where I work - the sprints and tickets are set up such that I can afford to work ~2-3 hours a day. I spend the rest learning new tech for my next job. I'm not even a hard

Basecamp during the summer months... but good luck getting a job there. > And, for larger discussion: do you think the four day workweek will become more prevalent in the tech sector? No way - a five day work week with eight hours per da

Probably not a big deal for publishers - most (non-tech) people I know download Electron apps via their own website e.g. Slack, Notion, etc.

Go out with friends? Schedule a dinner, coffee, or drinks with a friend this coming week. Take a walk and talk to them. Go to your local parks, some sort of event, try every restaurant in walking distance, learn to cook, read a book. I&#x27

The lesson to learn is that you can't trust VC-backed companies to have the same values or behavior through the years.

Personally if the internet is down my employer wouldn’t expect me to get any work done, so it doesn’t matter. Would be different if I was self employed though.

I would argue starting the morning without an "infinity pool" (i.e. a site or resource where you can just keep browsing forever) is best. While I agree with just looking at headlines to get the latest news in tech, I've been

My job in a tech startup in NYC is 9-5. We are on call on rotation, which usually means two or so weeks a year. I don't look at Slack or email after 5pm nor do I have any notifications on my phone for any work-related app (just Slack

HN is (intentionally?) a very manual and obscure operation.

Funny thing is that I'm pretty sure CNN Lite is a server-rendered React app, or was at some point.

No. I leave my work laptop in the office Friday at 4pm and don't open it or think about it until Monday at 9:30am. Unless you're self-employed or at a bootstrapped startup, why give your employer your free time?
