#3As someone who does the tech 9-5, I've found it difficult to make small talk/form deeper relationships with people outside of tech. Conversations often tend to die off after the initial "What do you do? Oh that's cool..." or "About that weather we've been having..." Any tips on expanding your network outside of tech?

Find hobbies that aren't related. That's been my goal this year. Been interesting so far, and met a lot of awesome people.

Take a genuine interest in what others find passion in, and you'll find making friends is easier than you think.
A good start would be replacing "What do you do?" with "What do you love to do?" or "What are you passionate about?" :) Good luck!

Another good one, especially if you're talking to someone you've met before but can't remember what they do for a living: "So, what's on the cards for you this year?"
Gives them scope to talk about a new role you hadn't heard about, their regular job, a holiday they're going on, renovations at home, etc.

Does private messaging on HN require some amount of karma or is it simply not supported?

#8Three P’s for me: Pasolini, Pertini, Pippo. EDIT: if you are not italian: knowledge, coherence and craziness.

"a network of people you trust and can talk to"
Or at least ONE person... (I'm in this scenario)! EDIT: at least ONE person and a cat :)

Not supported. I have DMs on Twitter, Facebook, Baqqer, and SMS though!
