I know this example gets brought up many times but then, did the HNers get this completely wrong? Steve Jobs/Google/MS were right to consider remote storage as a feature and not a product. I see the comments from that time about r

Office does not provide for social needs but provides a baseline level of social activity 5 days a week. I don't expect to make any friends in office but I am certain to talk to a few colleagues, have lunch in a group and make small ta

Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor. Paracetamol is probably as safe as it gets when it comes to drugs in its class. Overdosing is not all that simple and the numbers are high because of the availability and popularity of Paracetamol as a pai

I still daydream a lot about crazy things. A steady diet of science fiction novels and movies feeds that habit so I am in no danger of losing my soul. Of course, I don't dream any longer about bringing world peace,curing cancer and win

+1. The downside, of course, is procrastination. Back when my plotlines were really farfetched, I really wasted a lot of time dreaming about all sorts of stupid (in hindsight) stuff. Sometimes I regret that if I had spent that time usefully

Agreed. Recently I watched The Irishman (3.5 hours) at the theatre. Since the reviews mentioned the sombre mood of the film (unlike Scorcese's other gangter films), I was fully expecting to fidget around after some time. I had no troub

The clothes being cheap here is not the problem although it definitely does not help. The problem here is fast fashion and the constant recycling of fashion trends. I'd argue that this is more of a cultural problem. If the clothes are

Hey somasucks, people have delegated birthday reminders to Facebook nowadays so I wouldn't take that very seriously. If not for Facebook, I wouldn't remember my best friend's birthday even. I think what you're feeling is

I think the trick is to watch a film you like that is also critically acclaimed. The elements of a film that don't need any education to be followed are screenplay, dialogues and music. Films like "The Godfather" or "Sch

Very good point. The internet was a great opportunity to test divisive/contrarian hypotheses. In the ideal case, you get counter arguments which will help you come up with a decision rule. Unfortunately it does not work this way in mos

>apodicticly .. first time I'm encountering this word. Really cool. From wiki, "Apodictic" or "apodeictic" (Ancient Greek: ἀποδεικτικός, "capable of demonstration") is an adjectival expression from Aris

Even "The Simpsons" has this quality, at least the first 9 seasons or so. Even if you had no idea about the cultural references and the jabs at American culture, the situational comedy was still worth watching. Eventually you figu

Great comment. I'm still in school but I noticed how my lifestyle got slightly more expensive after I made some money through internships, or after I've been on vacation and enjoyed myself (and seen others enjoy themselves). I use
