Charlie_26··on Ask HN: What are unintended consequences of new tech you've noticed?
I'm guessing you want me to say Google. But I'd actually use Amazon. Or even just walking into a good book store and reading a few! What have you got to lose?
Charlie_26··on Ask HN: What are unintended consequences of new tech you've noticed?
I think this is an example of where books are powerful. A (good) book on a subject is far superior than pages of different articles that anyone could write. With a book you know that time and effort has gone into it. If you want to learn about something, invest in the right book.
Charlie_26··on Ask HN: What are unintended consequences of new tech you've noticed?

Charlie_26··on WhatsApp puts limit on message forwarding to fight fake news
My gut feeling is that limiting the amount of recipients isn't really a fix to eliminating Fake News. It seems far more like a workaround to a problem that will still occur after.
Charlie_26··on iPhones are hard to use
"the Apple “ecosystem” reeks of the kind of Windows autism that repels Macintosh supremacists". Damn. What did Apple users or autism ever do to you?

I have a notification with a timer set at every n:15 time of the working day, e.g. 9:15, 10:15, 11:15. This is because I find meetings rarely fall on to this time at my current place of work. The notification works well and constantly reminds you to keep an active journal.
