artsandsci··on Mechanical Watch (2022)
If you get any cheapish mechanical watch with a widely available movement (EG an NH35 or NH36), it makes more sense not to service it, and just replace it when (if) it wears out. That's what I do with my Seikos.
artsandsci··on Former Employee Sues MrBeast's Company over Harassment Claims
The former employee of the YouTube star’s production company said in a federal lawsuit that she had experienced sexual harassment and pregnancy discrimination. Beast Industries denies all of the claims.
artsandsci··on Play Proximity
Each guess must be a single word. Proximity will inform you how close you are to the secret word, based on your word's meaning.

artsandsci··on Ask HN: How were the super bowl led torches synced?
Maybe triangulation with beacons?
artsandsci··on Was Snowden a Russian Agent?
Nope, same old me, just got into the habit of submitting stories. I did see this for the first time a couple days ago: "Please don't submit so many links at once that the new page is dominated by your submissions." so I've been submitting less often.
artsandsci··on Dropbox discontinues rendering of HTML content
In case you're confused, new non-business dropbox accounts haven't had the ability to create a "public" folder since 2012. http://superuser.com/questions/764641/how-to-serve-html-off-...
artsandsci··on 96 MacBook Pro’s in one server rack
At first I thought the headline meant he was using MacBook Pro's from 1996.

artsandsci··on Ask HN: What music do you listen to while programming?
Brian Eno's Music for Airports always helps me focus and get stuff done.
artsandsci··on Show HN: Hidnchat - Send anonymous mails, receive replies
My test went into spam as well. As others have said, though, interesting concept.
artsandsci··on Show HN: Hidnchat - Send anonymous mails, receive replies
Is there a reason you called the email field "Email Id" instead of "Email address"? Also, people read pages from left to right. So a first-time visitor would see the "Check reply" section first, which is useless for all first-time visitors. Did you consider swapping the left and right columns?
artsandsci··on Torpedo – Share files, passwords, and more with self-destructing private links
Until we have more encryption details, I agree with yanatan that the only current value is in automating something I already do manually (deleting a link once the receiver has accessed the content). Also agree with hexagonsun that sending passwords in plaintext is stupid. You could, however, send it via this channel, and the username via another (text message, IM, whatever). Still not super-great, but better than nothing, I suppose.
artsandsci··on User Onboarding
Wanted to chime in about Samuel's consulting service. I was part of a project that Samuel did a teardown for. He went above and beyond to do a very thorough video and answer questions on the follow-up call. It's especially handy if you have a bunch of small UX issues you're working on and find yourself going in circles debating the same issues. His "first-time-user" take on things helps iron that out. He also points out a lot of things you havne't noticed because you're been staring at the same design for so long.
