Thanks for sharing, and congrats, you have made really good progress! Having a healthy relationship with video-games, while not prioritising it over everything else in life (except on some occasions ;)) seems like a really good end state.

Very productive discussion here with lots of tips shared here. I am grateful that HN is one of the places which still feel worth the time spent. I would like to share my own thoughts as well.. Personally, my weakness is video-games and I ha

I am curious, in general what exactly does a giant like amazon invest in, over themselves?

These EU countries sure seem to be raking in a lot of FAANG money. Ideally they should just sit down together and meaningfully reach some common policies around how to operate without being 'abusive' - but of course they wouldn&#x

In what universe did Microsoft get replaced ? Did you see the recent stock performance and jump in valuation of the company ? It is still a beast.

Agreed. As long as people make some quick profits, they will blindly support anything, even fight governments - even if that thing makes it easy for criminals to launder money. It is going to be an interesting battle. I got my popcorn and e

downvote all you want but the parent comment makes no sense - you can't horizontally slice products - that would only make sense if Google had clients that could split fairly among several sub-companies. But sure keep armchairing.
