Wish there were more explanation as to "why?". If someone enjoys voluntarily living such an unsustainable lifestyle, fine. Everyone needs to get their thrills somehow. But when it comes to playing with other peoples' plans, emotions, money

Yes, my point is that there must be _some_ people that use email for communicating todos, else your inbox would not have todos in it. Maybe it's not HN readers, but the fact that HN readers actively move todos "out of email" mean that someo

"move valuable information and tasks out of email and into trusted systems..." If email is not a todo list, then how/why do tasks even get in there in the first place such that you need to move them out of there?

Interesting how we all live in our own little echo chambers and bubbles. In which nothing worse has ever occurred in all of history: "one of the most shameful and despicable acts of legislation in American history" And in which we are the t

The point of the article is that you should be counting hours. Even if the hours themselves are not your goal or measure, there are still physiological reasons that too many hours are non-optimal. Even and in some respects, especially for,

"FREE Butterball Turkey Certificate with every test drive!" I got this ad in the mail today from a local Jeep dealer. Dealers clearly have no clue. Could you ever imagine Tesla thinking up such a dumb promotion?

There is no price worth the headache. Life's too short and the days too few to have any one of them tarnished by toxicity.

One type of authenticity speaks to origin an item. Whether it be a painting, writing, or any other work, when a work's origin is in doubt, it can be said to be lacking authenticity. The inauthentic part of ghostwriting is that the name of t

Gains have been and continue to be steady. I quietly smile and take it with a grain of salt when someone longs for "the good old days". People have quite selective memories of their favorite decades.

Good for Dr. Atkinson! Anyone who doesn't think teachers work hard enough, care enough, or are skilled enough is full of it. When I go to my kids' after school activities and see teachers there night after night, on their own time and dime.

Why price at the lowest amount that makes it worth it instead of the highest amount that people will pay? Said another way, did you test $6/month, $10/month, $20/month?

If this is an investor pitch, it's missing one critical piece of info - namely, how will it make money? Or am I just old-fashioned in thinking a business should make money?

I'm 43. I concur Mr. Wulf that "large scale, high stress coding" is "a stupid person's game". Now, some people find a thrill in coding under pressure. More power to 'em. Yet we see too many developers accidentally ending up in high stress c

Jeff sums it up well: "If you can't wake up every day and, using your 100% original equipment God-given organic brain, come up with the three most important things you need to do that day – then you should seriously work on fixing that."

There is nothing patented in this patent. Note that "Claims 1, 2, 3 and 4 are cancelled". That's all of the claims.
