Maybe you should try coming up with your own startup ideas rather than expecting Hacker News to feed them to you. Or at least just keep it to one thread.

Its not idea farming, it karma farming, and theaktu is not a real person, just a deep neural net that will get some lucky undergrad an A this semester.

edit: see how it is improving the title and getting more upvotes?

really? cool!

- I have over 100 different apps on my phone. I have over 1000 online accounts. That's too much to manage. I want just one.

- I want financial independence so that I can stop worrying and start living.

- I want to get rid of all physical possessions. I don't want to own a house, a car, a fridge, food, a phone, clothes. I just want to get these things on demand, as needed. When I no longer need them, they disappear.

Basically, I don't want to have to think and worry about stuff that doesn't matter. I want freedom. I want a constant "My mind like water" state.

> I want to get rid of all physical possessions.

This is a huge soap box of mine. Transitioning us all from an ownership mentality to an access mentality. It's close to sharing, which is close to socialism and communism which strikes and the fear centers of many a populous.

Personally I have tasted of this wonderful world with car sharing. Car2Go namely. So good. Then there's couchSurfing. It's not exactly the same thing, but on the way.

I do think that software is getting that way, soon. With the old school dumb terminal philosophy that comes after App-world. We already have it with digital assistants like Siri and Cortana. I can certainly see their functionalities blossoming as the market (and software) gets to know its users a bit better.

Food, well, you can just go out to eat. That technology has been around for a long time.

Clothes? Maybe thrift stores?

The fictional hero Jack Reacher epitomizes your proposal to a tea.

[Sorry for the tangent.]

Indeed, it reminded me of Jack Reacher character too.

From one of the books, when another character asks Reacher why doesn't he carry spare clothes:

"Slippery slope. I carry a spare shirt, pretty soon I’m carrying spare pants. Then I’d need a suitcase. Next thing I know, I’ve got a house and a car and a savings plan and I’m filling out all kinds of forms.”

Thanks to my uncle, who introduced me to Reacher novels about the time I just began university in 2002. It was fun reading about 16 books (meanwhile...needless to say, I'm exactly in the opposite situation of that quote).

The nice aspect about Reacher novels: you can pick up any book without regard to order, you won't miss any background context -- each book stands on its own. Certainly worth the read, if only for the vicarious experience.

The physical possession would be amazing if we could get around it - eventually nano tech that could build at a molecular level could solve so many problems.

If you just have one account you lose independence.

I want as many accounts as I want identities. In my case, that's pretty much one.

My headphones are too tight so my ears are sore.

I want to write a book but never get around to doing it.

I have a cold which is really annoying.

I know I should go to bed to get some rest but I don't want to.

A Personal knowledge base, where I can collect my resources and organize my thoughts without having to rely on multiple programs.

WiKi

I use OneNote for this.

Android app + desktop app + web app all have similar basic functionality.

OneNote is a killer app for MS. Nothing comes close (please don't say Evernote)

Really bored at my current day Job, always assigned to do mundane tasks, I feel like my life is wasting away. Am 23 been programming since I was 18. I recently (Last week) got a remote contract gig which I do at night which helps a bit but my day Job is sucking the life out of me, but I can't change it till I find another one. I can feel my passion during the day fading away.

Developers are in very high demand. Finding a new job is a pain but very doable. Getting stuck in a rut in life is 100x worse.

The thing is I want to work at a smaller startup not another startup-slowly-turning-to-an-organisation

This describes me. I get mundane work that is way below my level, and the few times I get to actually code or program something it is for a small feature.

Cant wait for a few more months when I get some more financial independence to move somewhere else. I hate the city and state I live in.

Someone keep this cat off my desk and lap somehow. Actually just desk. Lap is ok.

What's the problem with a cat on your desk? Just jugvgvoHWwapo fvvfv GET OFF THE KEYBOARD, YOU STUPID FLEABAG!

Anyway, it's really not... HEY, STOP CHEWING ON THAT!

As I was saying, just keep a laser pointer on your desk. When the cat gets on the desk, shine it on the wall where the cat can see. Wiggle it a bit. Get the cat to chase it, and use it to lure the cat off the desk back onto the floor.

Lots of cats are attracted to computers and laps for warmth, so perhaps a heating pad? Also, feed your cat at consistent times during the day if you don't want him/her to bother you whenever he/she feels hungry.

I need to be more productive. I currently make a good amount of money doing basically nothing at home, and should be using this time to get some more skills. Instead I just sit around and BS

Sounds like a good problem to have! How do you make money doing nothing?

I own an affiliate network that works with social media influencers.

I recommend reading this: http://www.sparringmind.com/changing-habits/ and other articles by the same guy. He links directly to a lot of productivity studies, and you're in a good place so you have plenty of time to try things out. Good luck!

There's no really good way to trade programming time for money.

Jobs and contracts are pretty good?

I want an easy way to test food items that I buy from local shops for harmful levels of toxins/pesticides.

This thread. Thank you, and bless you. Made my day :)

I want a pony.

Waking up.
