Spotify's recommendations used to be very good for me, but Discover Weekly has gotten dramatically worse in the past few months. I'm lucky to find one good new song in there these days, whereas I used to love the entire playlist.

More finance than business, but I really enjoy Matt Levine (he writes for Bloomberg). Even though his articles are technically finance there's enough tech and business analysis in there that you don't have to be a finance nerd to

Do they? I mean, trucks are hardly gas efficient, and aren't most roads maintained (supposedly) via gas taxes? The question, I suppose, is how much harder they are on the roads relative to their fuel efficiency.

I know you're getting a lot of unsolicited advice here, but I'd like to throw in my suggestion since you don't seem interested/capable of a lot of the suggested hobbies. I found myself in a similar situation in the past

I don't think college campuses have a reputation for violent crime, though. I think the point is that maybe the students are ruining their own lives through drug abuse, but they aren't robbing/killing/maiming others. Con

Just so you know, I believe HN generally frowns upon user-imposed line breaks when not strictly necessary because it hurts readability for mobile users. Not a huge deal, but you might want to keep it in mind since you seem to put a lot of t

I think there's enough of an audience for a small (4-4.5"), high battery life (5-7 days... or more), simple (email, SMS, messaging apps, basic navigation), open source phone, based on the general sentiment I've seen here on H

Luckily my friend group has slowly migrated away from FB Messenger thanks to the battery life impact (substantial, in our experience) and hamfisting of Stories/Ads into the app. For the most part, we're back on SMS now. Personally

I can't imagine working at a company with this kind of system. Sounds a little too much like MeowMeowBeenz ( http://community-sitcom.wikia.com/wiki/MeowMeowBeenz ) from the TV show Community. ("MeowMeowBeenz™ t

I hit this issue with a lot of video game/movie soundtracks (Battlestar Galactica and Starbound OSTs are some of my favorite programming music), and it's extremely frustrating. Even worse, Spotify's app doesn't work on m

Not who you asked, but I notice a lot of lag when I'm searching/navigating/etc in Spotify. I understand that it's fetching a lot of this data from their servers, but the UI itself is also laggy when I'm browing loca

It really isn't that expensive to send a couple of engineers to a school if you're hoping to hire a couple of talented students, and maybe some interns. You really only need one event a year.

Agreed. As someone who recently graduated from a relatively good (2100 median SAT score) school that ISN'T a top five CS school, it was absolutely insulting how often I was completely ignored by companies like Google, Facebook, and Ama

While I do love the Mac trackpad, the important part is the amazing gestures built into OS X- things like workspace switching and window management are far easier in OS X as a result. But maybe that makes a more dramatic difference for me b

This page not only shows a perpetual loading icon and an un-dismissable cookie notification on my phone, it also traps me on the page and requires not one, not two, but three presses of the back button (quickly, before it notices!) for me

I ride the subway in NYC every day, and this is especially bad on my commute. The interference is absolutely unacceptable, and has convinced me that bluetooth is not ready at all for my use case.

Evidence seems hard to come by on this subject, but a web search yields a lot of results along these lines: https://www.quora.com/Which-uses-less-battery-for-a-car-audi... It's hardly a scientific study, but it reinfor
