There's technical podcasts that are guides? When listening to something like The Changelog, it's just a conversation about a technology and its origins.

Not married but live with my partner for almost 3 years. I listen to podcasts with headphones on at work especially when doing chores. No complaints, though I'm also not doing it 2…

Pretty cool report. Personally all I want is to be able to change my username, even if it means emailing and waiting a few days.

Italy is probably the worst European example of this. For most of history the country was split into nation states that warred with each other. Even after unification, there's a st…

Wouldn't an online community for that be a community dedicated to "intellectual discussion, debates, and political movements"? I'm confused about what you're looking for exactly.

Notes: Apple Notes - it's on every device I use and online, so it has the lowest friction. I use Apple Notes for grocery lists (using checkboxes), semi-permanent notes, and sometim…

> What's causing the rise of these curated lists? People with good intentions that want a repo with a high star count. Getting over 500 stars on these readme-only/awesome/"curated"…

Gruber criticizes Apple all the time. The past few episodes of his podcast have been mostly complaints.

I’m sure Spotify is better than AM with discovery, but I never used that feature of Spotify. Being able to upload my own files to Apple Music (got a lot of music not in streaming s…

A few months ago we had a story here in HN claiming that parents spend more time with their kids now, or at least want to spend more time with them. Not to mention nowadays both pa…

I’m not sure why tech workers think they’re special. Almost everyone that moves to NYC for a good office job goes through this. Moving to a suburb or another city after age 35 is a…

Have hobbies outside of sitting in the couch refreshing HN or watching Netflix. Hobbies where you get better at something.

In-App makes sense. I’ve recently purchased a good amount of not-free apps but the only in-app stuff I’ve purchased has been “pro” versions of free apps I’ve downloaded. I’m guessi…

Everyone has a price!

Yeah sure I just meant they aren't just saying it's awesome and not actually use it. I don't know about ATP but a lot of the apps that sponsor Mac Power Users are apps the hosts us…

Hm, was going to purchase one because some of my favorite podcasts, Mac Power Users and ATP, rave about it. I'm not sure how I feel about Eero now. I don't have any Amazon smart th…

ATP and Mac Power Users hosts actually own and use Eero routers, though.

I only pay $48 a year for 1Password, but even if it was $60 it doesn't bother me. If that means thousand of dollars by the time I die, it's fine. I like the service. $4,000 over 40…

Companies do stuff like that because they think or have proved that it sells. I've heard and read that people increasingly don't want just products any more. They want a brand, a s…

Unless the film is animated, I could not see how you could enjoy watching it at 1.5x speed, particularly if it's a serious drama. Humans moving at 1.5x speed just looks weird, and …

I was not brought up in America so I didn't grow up with the Protestant Work Ethic as part of my culture, so this question is hard for me to answer. Honestly, anything else? Nothin…

Worse - I've noticed that most of HN likes to read productivity and self help books. Nothing wrong with that, but it means people are spending a majority of their leisure time lear…
