Try to learn more about industries that sound interesting to you, and meet people from those industries to learn what they do. Speaking with lots of different people and learning about what they do will probably help you figure out what exc

Is there a different writer with a similar viewpoint we could read about, if we don't want to read his work?

Dapps haven't gone away. I'd say that trend has evolved into DeFi, which seems to be growing quickly.

Something that's helped me recently is trying out giving up on all my goals one at a time. There was one goal that I really started to miss working on once I gave it up, and that's how I knew I wanted to keep working on that goal.

I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I want to help build the city of the future, but as a data scientist, I have no idea where to start. This is advice I haven't followed myself, but might start following: talk with people who ar

Okay but how does a "knowledge worker" like me, and many of the other readers of HN who work in jobs with little exposure to large-scale structures, get started building the city of the future? I have no idea where to even begin.

Thanks! The $1,095 price tag is pretty steep. It's a lot of money to part with for some data that I'm not sure I'll find valuable. I'll look into doing a free trial with them though.

Great idea! I would probably use this more if you looked at the futures performance from yesterday's market close to this morning, in addition to past 1 day. The reason why is that I don't care as much about futures specifically,

This is a great cause, but it would probably be a good idea to explain somewhere on the website what exactly a dead man switch is and how it can be useful for domestic violence victims. The marketing seems a little too technical for the gen

Great idea! I've wished for something like this, except for personal contacts because it would help me get on top of sending thank-you letters.

While I haven't read the book, the corresponding multi-part documentary "The Ascent of Money" is a really good introduction to what money is and how it evolved over the past centuries. It's also free on YouTube: https:&

"air quality in most places has continued to improve, forest cover has increased, and more rivers are safe to fish in" This makes me really happy to read. I know that in the 90's, there was pessimism around the environment al

To add to this, the ultra-wealthy, university funds, funds-of-funds, etc. are interested in capital preservation, according to the article. This means they likely will not reinvest their profits into companies that will grow; they're m

I've never seen a Pandas tutorial advocating the for-loops the author describes and I have rarely come across for-loops in other people's Pandas code. I think the article could remove the for-loop "how not to" examples a

I've installed hypothes.is on your recommendation and tried it out. There are a bit more steps than I'd hope for, such as needing to sign into chrome and storing the hypothes.is-generated link in my notes (on Dynalist), instead of

I was a heavy Workflowy user for my own personal notes for a few years, and then I switched to Dynalist after a colleague recommended it to me. It can do a lot of things that Workflowy can't (or at least it could when I switched a coup

I wonder if the drop in IQ is related to the increase in wealth inequality in these past 50 years as well. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_of_wealth ) More cohorts of people are entering the so-called "

This seems like a problem that could be solved by noise cancelling earbuds that could allow people to filter in things like people talking to them, but filter out background noise. I've experienced a similar problem at work actually, b
