Yeah, it's important to put a lot of thought into it if users can query often like this. Removing more information generally won't hurt most use cases a ton, so it's better to err on the side of caution with good quantization

The ability to find user locations via triangulation is overlooked in a lot of products - it's easy to not think twice when showing a user the distance between themselves and someone else. In my own products I fix this by aggressivel

It's only a choice you can make, but I think you'd need to provide more information about what your business is and how it could benefit from the capital, else users here will just have to guess about your preferences and intended

Arch and Manjaro for person usage, which have both been great experiences for me depending on if you want to spend more time customizing/installing (Arch), or want a great and quick default experience (Manjaro).

Definitely, I don't want to understate how important things like that are; but I feel like the average person is already aware of the need to dedicate significant resources to improve air quality, and would even be happy if their tax m

I've been seeing a lot of very negative takes similar to this one on how poorly we have been doing with vaccine distribution (not to mention, well, everything we did before the vaccine). Upon thinking about a lot of the people that I r

In my opinion the field of anti-aging is currently under-appreciated by a factor much greater than that of just about any other area, and this article is a great introduction to help garner interest in the field. A minor improvement in slow

That's a good point and example, but I just don't imagine them thinking they would benefit from it is all. The future holds many mysteries, so it's at least possible , but I definitely would not bet on it, knowing what I do

One way or another I feel like more regulation is coming; the promises of cryptocurrencies in general are often at odds with what centralized governments want, and governments have more power, so will tend to get their way over time. The sh

I came up with this as well. My strategy for products was often to read 1-star reviews, and there were often two cases: 1) The reviews are low-quality and not indicative of much, so there are few legitimate complaints, or 2) The reviews sho

Flagging is done by users that think a particular post may not be a good fit for HN (ideally). It's likely that your post was seen by some as being too promotional for yourself so they may have flagged it for that purpose. I would try

That's correct, but the pattern of 'we know you are not profitable now, but perhaps you will be sometime later, and we are long-term players' is still very prevalent, but hasn't been extended to BD as much here as some m
