What specifically can Hulu do better? The only thing I can think of is dropping ads for paid users.

Reactive versus proactive captures the notion perfectly. I'm not content to be reactive. I was that way for too long, but I realized it was a cover for fear. It is hard for me to relate to the reactive mindset now. I feel like codependent-p

Exactly. I'm in the middle of trying to let my wrists heal from RSI, and I've noticed that my sleep quality isn't consistently good. Deep sleep seems necessary for healing to occur. I'm looking for something that will let me try out differe

This is beautiful. Too often I see business as a purely soul-less set of transactions predicated on the exchange of money where both parties need each other, but keep each other at arm's length.

I think natural talent exists, and it manifests itself as an ability to know where to direct your focus when learning something new. Someone who lives in their head a lot may fare better at programming initially, for example. They're used t

Exactly. Nobody cares if the exact details aren't 100% correct in a non-technical discussion. Suppose I begin recounting a blog entry which describes an odd situation. I may not remember all the details right, but I certainly have the gist

I'm 28, and I don't want to end up like Liz Lemon ("well I have $12,000 in checking"). What's a good primer on investing? I don't have a ton of money but I'd like to get into it.

Hey, it's tough being an upper-class white male, y'know? ;)

I'm killing most of my material and time investment into gaming so I can devote it toward music. While that isn't quite as severe as abandoning old projects, it still seems necessary in the same way that the article discusses. It is like I

Too bad there's no section for males. Clothes shopping is so hit-or-miss in department stores, especially if you know exactly what you want.

Yet another argument for why we should be impressed with natural selection: "we used to be a certain way, so we HAVE to value these things, however arbitrary they may seem!" I value knowing what our evolutionary history is, and why we have

I'm not convinced until the thread is labeled "Definitive." ;)

I've been thinking about this for awhile. Current dating sites make it easy to meet lots of people, but then there's the issue of how well you actually mesh in real life. Thus, some sort of hybrid approach might be better. I'm imagining som

And the achievements give you...what? A tiny shot of dopamine? It is hard to be enamored with tech these days when you see what people fall for.

Useful? Why would I care what xXNinjaGuy2938Xx's opinion on foreign policy is? Twitter strikes me as a very anti-intellectual medium because of the 140 character limitation. How do you convey a nuanced, complex opinion in such a fashion?

Story of my life. I suppose doing this sort of thing just sort of desensitizes you to that? I'd be curious to see if your viewpoint is different 3 months from now or so.

What if we just want to be ActionListeners? I know about that.

I like how the author pulls out the word "microact" as if it were the most normal thing in the world and later derides poking as created by "nerds" a few paragraphs later.

I'm considering the same jump (real job -> music school for a bit). Where did you go? What'd you make of it? Did you switch out? The first sentence suggests that you did. I'm perfectly happy to play local venues for the rest of my life.

This may sound extreme but one way to choose to view the confusion and depression is that it is a necessary part of growth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_disintegration Mind you, even Dabrowski (who created the theory) differentia

Chillout is my go to. Check out groups like Blue Sky Black Death (instrumental hip-hop), Portishead, and Apparat. The genre is big -- you can spend a lot of time finding stuff you like.

The time is certainly ripe for a better language to step in and make cross-platform desktop application development easier. Seems like most anything you use (barring C++) necessitates shipping 20mb of dependencies. I miss the pay for what y

Bad culture/developers will screw up a project regardless of what language you use. You cannot prevent this by giving them successively castrated languages. They will still find ways to make things difficult because they don't know what the

Any complexity not covered over by the language will end up in the user's program.

I'm wondering if this resonates with anyone in the HN community. I see a lot of people here with high levels of autonomy.
