Agreed. These have been a game changer especially for those with partners who snore. It took a few days but my ears got used to them after that. They are very comfortable. To the p…

Like the majority of "Don't buy from Amazon" articles I've read, this one doesn't seem to make any mention (unless I missed it!) of if these Levis were shipped by _and_ sold by Ama…

That's too bad. At one of my companies they were using Trello for all engineering development which I found just too casual of an approach. Jira would have been overkill. Pivotal p…

They prompted it with "Button mushroom" as well. Asking "What mushroom is this?" elicits a much different response, but not one that would get clicks.

I know I'm a bit sensitive to this type of thing, going to the theater is such a roll of the dice: - Will I set in front of someone kicking my chair? - Will I sit next to someone e…

Or how about those that basically predicted Apple would cease to exist as a company for removing the headphone port, not having exchangeable batteries, or using a non-standard data…

Congrats on the launch! I do have a quick bit of feedback based solely on looking at the website: Seeing a clearly fake testimonial immediately makes me lose trust in your product.…

Honestly I completely forgot ATMs accepted cash! And my bank doesn't even have branches within 500 miles. As for friends, I mostly use Square Cash or Apple Pay (or, hesitantly, Ven…

I thought starting him at an 8% interest wouldn't give him the motivation. After a few months we had a talk and he saw the power of compound interest based on these crazy numbers, …

My son has a Greenlight card. It's been fantastic for helping him understand allowance, savings, charity in a more modern age than when I used to get cash I put in an envelope with…

This is one of the most impressive projects I've seen on HN in a long time. Nice work!

I used to push back had on my kids wanting to buy hats, pets, etc in Roblox. Seemed like a waste of money and I hate microtransactions. Then I realized that this is literally the o…

This is a great example. Especially as it's quite possible to make delicious jerky without sugar. But especially as Americans we demand sugar in everything. When I started removing…

The survivor / confirmation bias is my biggest issue with a lot of these books. I listen to a lot of "How I Built This" and have noted that the vast, vast majority of the founders …

I always assumed running air conditioning with windows open was incredibly wasteful. Is this because Japan's summers are more temperate than where I'm used to (Northeast US)? I do …

Thank you, this fixed it for me. (What a mess!)

I have a six month old Thinkpad X1 Carbon and get about 1.5 hours. Pretty ridiculous.

I had the exact same thought. It obviously helps during a cash starved time like now, but just seems to delay the inevitable. I suppose the assumption is that, by that point, there…

I went to a tech conference at Wayfair HQ. I had never been to an office where there was a several minute wait just to go up the escalators. So many people. The conference itself w…

For me, the key was not exercising immediately after waking up. The issue was that when the alarm sounded, I knew the next thing I had to do was exercise. So I'd find excuses. Inst…

Exactly. Maybe I can take this approach with a Stephen King novel, but trying to read non-fiction which I want to remember and absorb requires longer periods of focus, for me at le…

Agreed, but it's that way for a purpose no? Maybe not a whole 20%, but enough of a buffer so that you won't be underwater on a mortgage in a down housing market.

Same here, it's met my needs pretty perfectly: Fast, good search, plenty of categorization options, absolutely excellent grocery store list integration with recipes, and bookmarkle…

I would kill for a standard middle seat compared to the middle seat I get stuck in sometimes on my hour long commuter train. It's a three seater that comfortably fits two. Not only…

Agreed with your points but if your boot takes longer than fifteen seconds, take the car into your dealer.
