Hacker News Reader

entson Dropbox closing Carousel and Mailbox

Such a shame. Only snoozing system that works for iOS and Mac without injecting additional emails into the thread to return them to the inbox. Ugh.

entson f.lux for iOS is no longer available

Good. As a professional photo retoucher, I hate that app.

entson Ask HN: Failing to get a date or into relationship. What can I do to improve?

In this question you've addressed all the things that are holding you back (low social confidence, in an area with lots of men), and posted a good plan to extend your social circles (salsa class, tennis) and even covered your mindfulness about hygiene, etc. Sign up for online dating. Go on dates. Talk to strangers. Do this a lot. Meet a lot of people and get good at being yourself.

entson How Exercise May Protect Against Depression

Isn't weightlifting just picking up heavy things? Isn't cycling just pedaling around a bike? Isn't running just walking fast?

Try a yoga class, you'll see.

entson Simple way to create disposable chat rooms or integrate chat into your website

There's a few hundred people in the "private" chat that I just generated...

entson Google Reader announced its shutdown exactly a year ago

As someone who joined news blur after the reader shutdown, I hate to say it, but this seemed inevitable. The design was incredibly confusing (not to mention hideous) and there were so many options nested in so many menus that any time I needed to change something I could never find the option. I switched to feedbin since it had some semblance of design, was easy to understand and synced with many more apps.

Also, I was credited three free years for being an early adopter and I suspect many others were as well, so I really doubt a big revenue bump anytime soon.

entson Which is less expensive: Amazon or self-hosted?

Not making $50,000 is in no way the same as someone removing $50,000 from your bank account. It's an opportunity cost.

entson Poll: How often do you exercise?

crossfit 1-4 times a week depending on work

entson Everpix was great. This is how it died

I bet a lot of people here, myself included, learned about Everpix through DF.

entson Super-Cheap First-Class Flight Challenge

Useless article, it's literally just an ad in the form of a blogpost.

entson Using a hosts file to make the internet not suck as much

Agreed. If ABP starts sucking, someone will make a not horrible version which lets you turn it on and off. I'm not editing a hosts file each time a streaming video doesn't work.
