    Fascinating. But is Limerence only when the obsession is targeted towards a person, rather than idea/object? I've noticed strong feelings of obsession towards an idea/goal, particu…

    Strange how "broadband" and "high speed internet" can have a different meaning in various parts of the country. For ex: a 10 mbps dsl line is considered "high speed" in New Hampshi…

    Ask HN: Have you ever bought a small business?
