I know I was like that second child you mention. Whenever I feel sorry for myself it helps to think about my dad who had to live with me as his first child (and I have more siblings that children : )

My first was daughter was very quiet and I thought I somehow had got something right on first try. The next four of my kids has not been even though they share both parents. I think I should be happy for this: If they'd all been as har

How Google hasn't even got a slap on its wrist yet for how they have massively abused their market position to push Chrome is beyond me. Which reminds me it is about time to send one of my approximately twice-a-year reminders to compet

Find more time to be with family and friends. Spend less time on social media (first year this is a thing for me, but I joined NAFO early on and it was addictive in addition to very meaningful for me).

I don't like the idea that we discuss this as a law of nature. I am an iPhone user since three years ago but if at some point I get a better deal elsewhere, I'm off. And with Apple I pay extra for premium, and there is only so man

Practical tip: If person says да (da) for "yes" I think they speak Russian. I think Ukrainians use так for "yes". (Someone please confirm or correct me, but I am 90 something percent sure.) (Edit: looked it up and yes, I

For some reason it seems Russia and Ukraine diverge sharply after 1991, and for some reason, Ukrainian authorities today enjoy strong support from all ethnic religious minorities and majorities, including amazingly both Atheists, Christians

One thing can be right without the other being wrong. I personally welcome criticism against USA as long as it isn't based on hate of USA but on general ideas. Very simplified: one should be ready to be proportionally critical to every

For some reason I thought Roald Dahl was a fighter pilot, but maybe that was just one of his stories, or maybe I misremember.

Alternative: some group in the FSB or the Russian navy thought it would be impossible to blame it on Russia (for obvious reasons), then went ahead and blew it up to be able to blame it on someone else (UK, US or NATO in general maybe?) Some

I think most modern phones let you select a list of people that will be able to reach you in an emergency. Mine also has a setting to allow the phone if people call twice within 3 minutes or something.

> I can't believe Russia blew it up, it doesn't make sense. I think lot of what Russia does, doesn’t make sense at the macro scale, only in the context of internal power struggles.

Many companies have gotten their first fines already. Hundreds of millions of shareholder value down the drain because they blatantly ignored the rules. No, most companies don't get a massive fine in the first round, but I already see

Now, here is the interesting part: I was well into my thirties before learning that Gimp was a slur, and HN is still the only place I know it from IIRC. The third use I hadn't heard about until you mentioned it.

Wasn't WhatsApp on track to be cash flow positive? I know I at least was shouting at them to take my money: it was the perfect HN product, reasonably priced, technically superior and with no ads or tracking. And yes, I paid as well.

I might be underestimating how hard it is to scale microblogging. I most certainly am. But have you looked at the scale of what Telegram provides both in width and at scale? Certainly there are celebrities with more followers on Twitter tha

Look at early WhatsApp until they were aquired. Vastly more innovative and scaled crazy fast without fail whales or anything. Or look to Telegram today. Delivering a vastly more complex product with a fraction of the company size it seems.

Mastodon decided to go the guilt-by-assiciation route instead: Instead of just leaving it to users or admins to block users or servers they didn’t want to deal with, a large subset decided to block for anyone who didn’t block certain other
