#63Wondered how HN might best implement mandatory offline periods during the day. I’m thinking something like it’s offline for an hour every other hour so only a total of 12 hours uptime a day.

#64I read half way through this free book by Sven Yrvind called “WITH FOUR SQUARE METERS OF SAIL AND ONE OAR” which is sort of a manifesto about building small boats and living simply. He’s a super interesting guy, I don’t even know how to sail and I was pretty glued to it. Not sure why I decided to latch on and go deep on the subject but you can find it here if you’re interested: https://www.yrvind.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/ex_lex_eng...

I think it should be made an entire 24h unannounced once a month on a random workday.
