   Dmoz and other directories of old were (rigid?) pre-defined category based classifications of urls. I don't intend to replicate that. Though you may be right about certain features being similar. For now, everything that anyone finds i

   The second one is a parked domain. Diff.blog looks interesting though, thanks for sharing. I might be adding it to my daily list of sites to visit.

   Just read through the features of del.icio.us on wikipedia, you are right about the overlaps. I suspect that coupling community + search from the start, might result in different outcomes (both positive and negative) as opposed to say just

   Thanks for the feedback. The forum URLs aren't mandatory. But they do add value to search results that are either pages or blogs. It is hard to illustrate that value with example search queries. I hope that changes with time and a larg

   Thanks for the feedback. Honestly, I'm not very sure myself and I'll have to wait and see. The votes could be gamed perhaps (multiple accounts etc.), but I could restrict voting capabilities to say, email/phone verified accou

   Hi HN, I’m the creator of Ninfex. I’ve been unhappy with the inconsistent quality of web search results for quite some time now. Wanting to do something about this for myself, I started experimenting with the way I save my notes/bookma

   I'm not sure if this is 100% accurate, but in some TV shows/movies I've watched, the Japanese are portrayed to be pretty tolerant/non-judgemental of people who work in the adult entertainment world. People often passiona

    The internet has not done anything. We've always been this way. "digging, deducing, hunting for clues about other people’s lives" is just easier to do with the internet.

    If you're someone who thinks & processes information mainly in the form of Stories & Metaphors, then organization (and recall) becomes organic/natural. Also on a side note, we must all be wary of epistemophilia!

    I get the concept but this is probably not a great use of the word 'Consciousness'.

    On the days that it does feel improved, it probably is due to exercise and consistent sleep timings. Distraction from pointless things that constantly linger in my head and cause stress also helps.

    "Blocked by Intention" is what the mystics (eastern, sufi, hindu etc.) call this. John Cleese's book[1] and lecture[2] on creativity also have some thoughts on this. [1] https://www.goodreads.com/book/sho

    Getting through lectures and audiobooks that are good but can sometimes put you to sleep would be impossible without Tetris.

    I've been off all Social platforms for almost a decade now. And, no matter how much I try and convince my close friends and relatives to do the same, it doesn't work. I realised this very late, but it is almost like asking people

    That is normal for many Indian sites. Which is why I don't click on links that lead to any of the times group websites in my country.

    Whales are fascinating animals. On a somewhat related side note I absolutely love how the Ondes Martenot can sometimes sound like whales underwater.

    That is very interesting. Hope to see it in action soon. Also I just realised what the answer to my question for 'why not on land' was, and I feel silly.

    Holy shit! That's awesome and very impressive indeed. So, is it meant to hover right above the surface and not fly at higher altitudes? And if that is the case, can some version of this be built for land too? Sorry if these are silly q
