I highly don’t recommend the 2020 film by Pixar: Soul. Are you excited to get to know all about an aspiring jazz pianist who is trying to make it in nyc?! Well tough luck, that’s n…

This reminds me… what ever happened to Microsoft’s Surface Neo? This is a very similar idea, especially with the external keyboard

He never fully predicts or promises, but we all know the infamous Musk time, where he says one of his inventions will be ready “next year”. for the last 8 years Musk has been promi…

Yeah, there are faint mentions of moon colonization from Musk, but more often than not he talks about Mars. I do agree more and more that Musk is a grifter (look no further than Tw…

I’ll give that video a watch, thanks for the rec. Yeah, getting to Mars as a human presents a whole load of problems, let alone living on Mars. Elon loves the self deprecating talk…

Hey HN. There’s not much reliable / unbiased analysis of SpaceX’s mission statement of making humanity multiplanetary. So, what are the chances? I’ve been following spacex for a wh…

I’ve been sensing a trend of techies making moves to NYC. I’ve also heard of insane rent increases by the order of $500 - $1000, and a huge scarcity of available properties. Has an…

Thanks for the input. I definitely understand your first point, sometimes the city seems “impossible” to me - a lot of wealth and demand packed into a small area; I wonder if there…

Can you explain more about Chicago lacking “a certain reach to the higher levels”?

Can you elaborate on why you left? I always hear about crime and poop on the street but I feel like if I avoid the tenderloin and soma I should be fine, no?

Yes agreed. Sometimes doing what I love is hard for me to do… I don’t know why. At this stage in my life I would live alone; it’s true that roommates would make the rent more palat…

Any more input here would be appreciated. Have you dated in both places?

Hahaha welcome to inflation

yeah you’re right, I know the true answer can only really come from within, though anonymous internet advice never hurt… maybe

Hey HN, I’m a long (…long) time lurker, very occasional poster. I am starting my completely remote job soon and have hit a difficult problem that I am having a hard time figuring o…

Hi everyone. I’m a little past 3 years at a FAANG; as I look back at what I’ve done I’ve realized that I’ve had little to no impact. No major features shipped. Nothing I can point …

Given a person with very few marketable skills, how can this person make money online? There are services such as Amazon’s mechanical turk that fit the bill, though the given examp…
