Awesome - this will be my new coding interview question
instalabs··on Launch HN: Parsagon (YC W21) – AI for public affairs and government relations

instalabs··on How 'Factorio' seduced Silicon Valley and me
> Whenever I play it, I get the distinct feeling that I could instead do the same thing but productively instead

This is me, but extended to all games. I stopped playing games because I feel like I can always do something more productive with my time instead. If I really want to check out, I watch some TV instead. But games (especially modern ones) take too much work without any real reward.

instalabs··on FTC's rule banning fake online reviews goes into effect
You can also ask for reviews nicely without a popup (just show it on some confirmation screen), really no need to bother the user with it.
