Not just New Zealand but....somewhere in central Otago...of all places?

The article has an overlay wanting me to put in my email address. Can't seem to close it with the X in the corner. S9 Android with Chrome browser. Renders the website useless unles…

I have depended on Evernote for a long time without even realizing how much of a daily utility it is. It has been so seamless that I had forgotten I was rolling with the free versi…

Using "primo" and "buggering" like that: I think I spotted a Kiwi?

Interesting to me that Shackelton and the Endurance keep popping up on HN. I happened to read "South" some years ago and it had a big impact on me as someone who loves the outdoors…

There were a couple of points I keep thinking about: SPOILER ALERT 1) Where they are navigating broken ice on a heaving ocean and Shackelton casually mentions that he hadn't slept …

The Book "South" which is something like an edited version of Shackelton's diary, has this journey in reasonable detail. It had a profound impact on me; that people could be that t…

I agree, was recently using it in a remote area for reasonably important decision making. The high level of detail fooled me into thinking it had a high level of accuracy. Turns ou…

Not many HN comments make me laugh out loud, but this did

Am surprised sites like the one linked don't get dis-incentivized from running so many ads by aggregators like HN with some formula that essentially makes it harder for links with …

I recently bought a secondhand Original DJI Mavic Pro for chump change. For someone who knew nothing about drones it staggered me. For something so technologically advanced to be c…

Hilarious: need a way to tag stuff I see on linkedin to automatically post it to shlinkedin. Something like #nottheonion There is so much hilarious content not being appreciated ov…

I hope you guys slay the market and are able to keep up with the demand that is coming at you. I hope this is the Tesla moment for the consumer electronics industry where the incum…

A couple of things: 1) Isn't the default answer to a question headline supposed to be "No"? 2) How is one supposed to sift the wheat from the chaff these days? Everyone uses terms …

Progressiveness for its own sake is weird attitude western culture is buying into. I have posted this quote before on HN but you might find it relevant: "In the matter of reforming…

This is a good summary of what I think Douglas Murray was explaining in this discussion with Sam Harris: https://youtu.be/yTtuCNPebDE Namely; "we may be in the midst of the discove…

I work with automated machinery and am relatively familiar with sensing and automation technology and the costs of such. I recently purchased a DJI Mavic drone and am absolutely st…

Whoa! That is bizarrely addictive. Quick, someone reformat the newsfeed to deliver images from my friends in this format for greatly increased engagement. Call it Insta-Trance. Pop…

interesting suggestion. If the objective is to minimise distraction, is being in constant conference not distracting?

Thats kind. My comment probably sounds more glib than it should but I was trying to draw attention to the issue of isolated work in general. I have plenty of people around me a lot…

The notion that loneliness is the biggest distraction is a revelation to me. I have worked from home for 12years but didn't recognise this as an issue I face until now. Sometimes I…

Thanks for clarifying. As a total noob I was staggered by those little sugar rockets, as soon as the thing left the ground I thought "uh oh, what have I done?"

400 feet doesnt seem very high (to a bystander like me). I made a 19mm diameter sugar rocket with my kids, tied it to a bamboo stick for stability and electrically started it. The …
