Relax with intent. Relax with the sole purpose of relaxing. Meditation would be the extreme case, I think. No scrolling, no consuming media. Do something that involves little menta…

oh look, a gig economy

But add significant amounts of litter. At least in North America, people will just toss their trash on the ground if there isn't a garbage can available, but if there is a bin arou…

At the risk of being put on even more watchlists than the average person- I wonder if it would be quite as easy to wreck similar havoc on a commuter rail as on an airplane. It seem…

Personally, I would respect high school students enough to have them write actual lines of code and not drag and drop blocks. The Arduino language and libraries are abstracted enou…

Agreed, the general goal of dating apps is to generate pairs. But in order to generate the desired pair, as many pairs must be "brute forced" as possible, as efficiently as possibl…

At least in chrome, mousing over a hyperlink pulls up the destination address in the bottom left corner (for now).

Just advertise wedding services really hard in the app. If you're really good at creating a market, capitalize on it.

> "this suggests women are actually looking for the wrong things when they use online dating apps" That is quite the claim!

I don't think that applies here, although maybe I'm only right about users who understand what they are doing/have the right mindset. I've lost the attribution, but someone said th…

I think we're in an advertising bubble right now. The internet business model is going to need to change soon.

I love the meta debate about HN. I frequently click out of a thread after reading the first half of the first comment, it's always the same thing over and over. HN is a great as an…

Not that an outright ban is a good solution either, as there is a large discussion to have about what is and isn't political. Some people see some topics as inherently political, w…

I believe the poster above you meant "rogue", as in malicious but not strictly associated with a specific party. In any case, it is almost impossible for someone to be truly neutra…

Well there's a fine line between employees having a job duty as "participate in online forum" and straight up astroturfing. Especially on sites like HN and reddit which are relativ…

Could you please explain how that explains it to someone who needs more explanation?

"Engineering is a team sport" - me You need to be able to work with others to produce things, unless you always work alone. Social skills are a very important part of that.

It is funny that we have the "techies" (programmers, engineers, etc) designing and managing these social media platforms when the techies are stereotyped as awkward and antisocial.…

There's also a [store/boutique/experience/outlet/place where you pay for a thing] in my town where they just have neat sets for you to take photos in. There's a room of ducks, a fa…
