You don't think the nature of a tweet, the very limitation placed on the number of characters, encourages a certain type of communication/interaction?

The platform not only discourages long form dialogue, which is especially useful for communicating complex topics, it explicitly prohibits it.

The amount of resources invested into this for so long is surprising - not to mention the risks that many people assumed in putting their own lives in danger for bones at best?

It's interesting how the regard for human life(s) in the city seems so small relative to the lengths which people in rural areas/national parks go at times..imagine if this amount of manpower, attention, and money were applied to all missing person(s) everywhere - for years and years.

I can understand the international traveler element, which further makes one wonder if the same amount of resources would have been applied were the missing individuals of American origin?

Also, the author's random mention of his pornography habits was cringey and only cheapened what is an otherwise enjoyable read.

Saying (err typing) "sources" does not equate to actual real life sources - no matter what the topic (or who the publisher) is. This is basic media literacy.

And how much do you believe should be the UBI allocation per person for online news subscriptions?

Then considering this hypothetical money would come from the government (read: other peoples money) can recipients spend this allotment on whatever news sources or viewpoints they want?

I read it and I like it, thanks for sharing. Though I do hold the unpopular opinion that slack is antithetical to effective communication methods/mediums.

"This is not socially sustainable though"

Maybe it isn't for some, like you, but for many/most forced WFH I believe the outcome will in fact be lasting and socially fruitful.

(Personally, I've WFH 10+ years so not the best example because it was always my preference and had no cares about missing out on potential social interactions or relationships with co-workers)

But plenty of people I know about have been recently forced to WFH are finding various new hobbies and thus discovering and developing new social circles (Online & IRL) even w/ CV19 circumstances. Not to mention just going outside to do things and meeting others is happening a lot - at least where I live.

Between observing this and thinking through it more...I'm not convinced that coworkers are really the best types of relationships anyways. Indeed they can provide us with some superficial temporary social stimuli and primitive reinforcement, though not sure relationships by default/proximity are not built to last regardless. And they often come with the consummate 'shop talk' and 'office politics' or 'gossip' trade-offs - all childish stuff to be concerned with in or outside of work.

My hunch is that we're all better off getting to know people outside our own little bubbles :)

Good read, glad to hear that mindfulness is being introduced to humans at an earlier age.

Apparently that's not enough for the author though?

Like anything, it will never be useful for 100% of everyone regardless of age or place in time.

"Entrepreneurial State" is an oxymoron...source: Entrepreneur who worked w/ state for many years.

Effective written communication is remote work super power

StrongTowns is an org to keep an eye on

Good question and approach!

Don't avoid taking the necessary time to do what it takes to do the things that need to happen.

The pursuit of time saving methods, optimizations, or hacks is well and all - but actually putting in the time and effort it takes to do X right, repeatedly, is the type of thing many aspiring entrepreneurs avoid. It's very rare to be able to skip any rungs on the ladder, and despite all the possibilities of that technology can offer, there's no substitute for effort.

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." = Edison.

"We went from a flawed meritocracy"

What does flawed mean in this context?

Speak for yourself

I get it now, thanks y'all.

"Fuck, there should be a support group for this."

Be the change you want to see!

Because having a variety of pens in various colors is a privilege or ?

Not sure that there is a final solution. It's an ongoing, everyday perpetual sort of thing...like waves:

When you catch a wave, you ride it out knowing that eventually it ends. And when it does, you get off the wave and paddle back out to catch another one. Repeat forever :)

"take private notes directly attached to the email"

what does this mean?

Of course it's common for musical artists to speak up when they have a new release, but the interview was actually pretty thoughtful. That, and most if not all of his new stuff is available essentially for free through various channels...he doesn't need our money.

Dylan is among the treasures our lifetime and continues to influence many other musicians. The fact that he's not only still alive but also making music (even though it's gone in a direction I personally am not fond of) is a great gift for the world we live in now more than ever. A true intellectual.

Had to stop reading when the author used the word "techbros"

"then we can have that conversation about any network connected device you care to mention."

Agreed in that all devices are susceptible to 'listening' at any time without your direction or knowledge.

"HN is a biz first, tech second kida place"

I...disagree...the majority of content (and comments) found within the first few pages on any given day is quite technical, IMO. Not saying it's good or bad, but my observation. Maybe we are experiencing different rankings?

"it's off while we're in the house." Are you sure about that?

Thanks for sharing. Maybe it was the use of CAPS? Either way keep on creating!

You are in complete control of how you choose to interpret a statement..and choose you will.

"I have no idea what the skin color or gender or sexual preferences of other users on HN are and you don't know mine. That's how I prefer it."

This aspect of HN is specifically WHY I feel welcome here and WHY the content + conversation is consistently of higher quality relative to other forums...It's actually one of the few places left online where this feature remains.

"...what I've seen the comment moderation"

It's what you don't see, friend.

I FOUND the MARKETER!

Seriously though: what is the topical nature of your content, or if comfortable, share a link to your channel?

"I really hope we don’t add coding to the laundry list of rote skills that kids are evaluated on in school."

Why?
