I really enjoy actual paper notes as well - particularly when you end up in creative thinking mode, having a completely non-technical capture medium does the trick for me. I've tried a lot of the electronic stuff, but plain A6 cards that I

To add my own anecdotal evidence: Yes, it works, but not in the way most would want it to work. And hell yes, it's a serious strain on your connection to reality and community (family, friends etc.). A couple of points from my own blog post

Not sure whether you're joking, but since this is HN: That clearly ain't an actual mountain range.

It's also a very good idea to find the right balance with allowing your brain to think , so not setting a fixed time for it, but recognizing when your brain is caught in a situation where it needs to finish a good bunch of thoughts . When

Interesting - if that is the case, kudos to them! This also makes me wonder whether there is are bots to search for all those "no copyright intended" videos.

I find it particularly curious that this was taken down. It was supposed to be something that the music industry is smart enough to understand for the "attack that you need to sit out for now" that it is - instead, they took the bait and we

[after a couple of downvotes] Alright Mr. and Ms. Snark Police, so I did give the article a chance. This time from the top and made it until I read this sentence: "In recent memory, I distinctly remember: it was past 2am, I was listening to

Yes, I do think that is the case. I also just, very plainly, don't see that much craft in drama-from-ignorance. Sure, "x knows something that y doesn't, subsequently y runs into a number of cringeworthy encounters" does make for drama, but

The urge to not read the article after reading that paragraph was so strong, I felt that THAT was worth sharing. It is probably the best comment I’ve written to date, maybe not in terms of technique or artistry, but it is the single comment

An awful lot of it is, yes. I suspect it has something to do with what John Cleese once coined to be the Brits' paramount desire to just make it into your grave without being embarrassed once.

I enjoyed Curb - I made it through one and a half seasons - but I couldn't continue watching it. I may just have a low threshold for enduring discomfort, but Curb just keeps pushing and pushing the cringe meter. For Louis CK, it's about wha

I was amazed by the laser-guided precision of its emotional payload. The transition from relative playfulness to delivering the realization of the mercilessly impending dread in small portions, always quick to cover it up - only to open it

I think it's safe to say that for most businesses, while PayPal may only get you access to 80% of potential customers, Bitcoin gets you less than 1%. Until Bitcoin is an established process, offering it means that you have to evangelize it.

I think it's safe to say that they, quite reasonably, figured out that the former is a risk-infested nightmare. Saying "hey, that actually cost $11, Bob!" is a minor thing in an interpersonal relationship, but when it has the potential to t

I think this one is very simple to understand: Pets don't commit fraud. Or put differently: If somebody is running a scam here, the "pet" scenario would mean that it is you . The "poor people" scenario would mean that it is somebody els

But that's not even humor just for its own sake - it's actually rather insightful. Which is why it's correct that it wasn't downvoted.

True, and yet, I would argue that people asked for screenshots that show the difference, not screenshots that show how they're almost entirely the same.

"The quality improvement is nothing short of astonishing." - Nope, sorry, those screenshots don't sell me on "astonishing". So next he says "Secondly, I did warn you that it wasn't very noticeable in screenshots.". Well, ok, I get that, but

Sorry about following your OT here, but it's a very interesting thought - That the great firewall might be a factor in over-representing the uniqueness of your own work if prior art is censored from your view. This reminds me of a video I s
