The number of times I've picked up my phone to do something, see a notification, and completely forget what I had picked my phone up to do 5 seconds later is mind boggling. I started pruning the notifications that I allow quite aggress

Is that the only use of the currency or just one possible use?

Is there an equivalent extension to open Hacker News links in an app on iOS? I'm currently using Hacker, but would be willing to switch for this feature.

Hard work is necessary but not sufficient. I agree that the essay glosses over the element of luck that is involved, but I don't think that makes the rest of what Paul is saying wrong. Even if hard work alone doesn't always lead t

I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I'm not sure what I would do if I were to become financially independent before "retirement age", but it certainly wouldn't be getting a job at a BigCo. Really curious to

I'd bet 30% of the URLs it lengthens are rick-rolls. I did it immediately and sent it to several people on Slack.

It is not unreasonable to request that devs building on top of your platform use an API. They also aren't requiring it, they are simply suggesting it to avoid future breakages when they change the internals of how their application wor

I was going to temporarily cancel my NYT subscription because I wasn't using it enough at the time. Once I found out I had to talk to a person in order to cancel, I told them that I would never resubscribe because of it. It's infu

I wonder how it compares to the average salary for an experienced hardware engineer. It may be a ~50% pay bump in 1996 vs a 10-25% bump today.

FWIW I use all of those apps on a daily basis with Firefox and have not noticed any performance issues. It may be worth giving it another try if you haven't in a while.

If Google decided not to pay Mozilla someone else would. Google would lose traffic and eyeballs in that case. Though I do think there is some truth to the monopoly hedge as well.

I moved about 5 months ago and purchased a few thousand dollars worth of furniture. I could have paid cash but since it was 0% APR, I used Affirm and set the money aside in an investment account that has paid for ~20% of the total cost. Of

Love the product! Since you asked, one request that I would find helpful is having the stat comparisons from the previous day based on the same time the previous day rather than the total. The comparisons almost always show some -X% becaus

I can seriously relate to this. I have been going to the gym 5-6 days a week for years and absolutely loved it. As soon as the gyms closed down, my motivation to stay in shape plummeted. It was like a light switched off. I did absolutely no

Unfortunately that would require political action that would never be accepted by society until they're hurting enough that it's too late. No politician is going to win an election by promising to make your life worse now for the
