Because historically, HN was fully of interesting people with interesting things to say, where the article was a catalyst to something even better: human connection and dialog. But HN has fallen off pretty hard the past few years.

I'd be interested to see how that is measured... dogs and cats are significantly different , but I'm not sure I'd call cats less intelligent. Case in point with mine - she figured out how to weaponize my electronic stand-up

I hear this anytime orange cats come up in conversation and I don't quite get it - I had an orange cat when I was in high school and he was a very clever cat. I now have an orange female cat and she's got a big personality - very

Not a subscriber, but the headline alone caught me off guard... knitting and fishing? These are some pretty affordable hobbies. My 14 year old has taken up knitting in a big way just using her birthday money and some needles from the local

We have some pretty interesting family records, and if I look back 200 and 500 (and sometimes longer..) years ago, the information we have about family members feels remarkably current. There were divorces, economic and political challenges

But it doesn't need to be! If you want to put out a nice charcuterie and cheese spread for a social occasion, you have so many options at multiple price points. You can make a great spread with even a generic cheddar, colby, "moze

This is such an underrated experience - a bottle of wine (doesn't even have to be particularly expensive, just pleasant), some cheeses, maybe a few slices of sausage or cold cuts, maybe a baguette or a salty cracker. Jazz or perhaps a

You are completely missing (or perhaps reinforcing my point) - billboards? Great, we'll create a fleet of vehicles with mobile advertising on the back. Outlaw that? Great, we'll pay private citizens to put up signs in their yards

Here's another thought: I just wish more businesses had some class . Maybe your logo and product doesn't need to be smeared across every inch of physical and digital real estate. I realize the article is focused on digital advert

Sitting here at supper, I just watched one of my cats use some pretty strong language with one of my other cats. It was some very measured chattering to let him know she didn’t enjoy his presence. Chickens most definitely have a language -

Yes, and the league produced a better product when it was 14 and 16 games a season - week 17 is painful to watch.

So much this - the game is better when the focus is on getting the ball in play. Likewise, I prefer the WNBA these days because it's a game of fundamentals rather than the 3-point shootout of the NBA.

My small city in Washington is the template for the state's ADU law and multi-family density law. When the ADU law passed, we saw a lot of people convert garages into ADUs and anymore any custom builds almost always add an ADU. But to

You need to meet more politicians, they come in all shapes and sizes just like the American people. Are there a lot of born-with-a-silver-spoon, never-worked-a-day-in-their-life types? Absolutely. But across this country at every level, eve

This is a good perspective - the books that were written in the early 2000s were documenting a lot of the practices that had evolved through the 90s, and giving them a nomenclature. There was a period from roughly 1995-2005 where it felt li
