I did the native version of this after someone mentioned it in one of the general articles on phone addiction that have been making their rounds on HN since the start of the year. So far I don't feel like it has had much of an effect.

It is not scifi, but I think some mention of Tuck Everlasting should be made. The book was really important to my understanding of death when I was growing up. Unfortunately it looks like the author, Natalie Babbitt, passed away last year.

I'm not sure if your counter example holds up. Wikipedia indicates that Edward Gibbon wrote way more than just The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire [1]. And those are the works we know about that he didn't just

Can we add a unit to the title here on HN? The only reason I clicked through was to see what unit the 25M was in. 25 million grams? 25 million milligrams? 25 million rupees? (it's $25 million USD)

If your rent is more than 30% of your income and you are between the ages of 25 and 34, you are normal (46% of the renting population). Even at above 50% your rent to income ratio is still fairly common (23%). Having a rent to income ratio

I'm not the parent, but the new Pokemon game has been amazing for me. I'm 28 and single though. So obviously the target market. I've done more walking since the game came out than I had done in years. I've seen a lot of

I think the majority of the Impossible Project's marketing is already aimed at the fine art community and instant photography enthusiasts. Many people in those groups had been spending excessive amounts on expired Polaroid film prior t

Not a film, but I'd say we're pretty much there in video games with roles like the one Ellen Page had in Beyond: Two Souls. Note that she even explored legal action against the game company because of an unauthorized scene. I woul

I think a lot more goes into making urban life better for the environment than just cars. Off the top of my head I would expect the following to contribute: Suburban heating and cooling involves larger spaces for less people (houses being b

I was born in 1987 and I didn't think of myself as a millenial until someone told me a month ago what the definition was. I'm still not sure if I agree that my behavior matches up as closely with the behavior of the people born in

I have a windows laptop that I use 2 or 3 times a week and sometimes I have 10 updates pending (2 of which fail repeatedly until I uninstall them and re-download them). This is a huge downside of continuous delivery to something that isn&#x

Maybe it depends on who builds your devices, but I have had several usb prongs break off on me even when I was careful. This happened on one desktop and several gaming consoles.

I'm unsure how your response indicates that obesity is a self-control problem. Participating in a camp for however long and dramatically changing food intake is bound to create results. But if people could get the same results on their

I believe in many cases it is well documented that obesity isn't caused by a lack of self-control. However that knowledge is simply not accepted by the general population. I would guess that it is difficult for people to accept this fo

This is an excellent read! It is also included in Gibson's collection of non fiction writing - Distrust That Particular Flavor, which I highly recommend.

Ah yes. I can't think of the last time I was in a house that had doors to the kitchen that close.

Interesting! What should be changed about American kitchen design to fix this problem? Is it possible to fix this issue without rebuilding the entire house?

I guess I made a couple of assumptions when I wrote my comment. 1) I thought a lot of people wouldn't know the difference. 2) I guessed that royal jelly would be host to a similar spectrum of bacteria to honey. These are possibly not t

I'm not at the top of comments list am I? I agree that there are definitely more important take aways from this article. However, I felt that it would be worth my while to write this comment to make people aware of the issue.

DO NOT FEED YOUR INFANT HONEY Just in case anyone read the first paragraph and thought, "Hey that's a good idea!" Honey contains bacteria that causes infant botulism [1]. Once a child has a more fully developed digestive syst

A few scattered thoughts about the parent comment's statements: 1) Your first edit makes it sound like you value hardware over software. I don't think that is your intent, but it confused me for a bit. 2) The implied definition of
