Thank you for sharing, I did not know that before.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!

I think you are already doing a lot. And the things that you talk about need consistent action. So, as long as you keep your principles, you are an agent of change. Is there more that you can do? Of course. Is there less? Also!

The question now becomes: where do you choose to draw the line?

Also reached out to you via email.

Thank you for sharing!
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
Cool and thank you! Will definitely attribute to both of you :)

I guess there are companies that have tried to let people pay instead of showing ads but I guess that the conversation rates have been so low that the company did not achieve the same revenue than via ads.

Having said that. What do you think about a regulation that companies are required to offer a pay-for-no-ads option which gives users an option that is priced at 10% above the expected value of their ad revenues?

That sounds like a world in which I would like to live in, too :) Thank you for sharing your very nuanced/balanced view :)

Do you know if or who currently works toward achieving universal sentient rights? It resonates strongly with me - especially because it is more broad than just "humans".
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
I wish this to you, too!

What are you currently doing to stay healthy?

kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
Why do you want to reincarnate with past lives memories?

What do you not like about capitalism?

And thank you for sharing solarpunk - it looks astonishing :)

So your wish is for others to look at the comic?

Any other wishes given that the genie seems to have escaped the control of the lawyers?

What do you hope humanity would do in the future (that you will then experience/observe)?

Also, are you familiar with the work of Dr. Sinclair e.g. "Why we age and why we don't have to"? It seems like he aims for a version of (optional) immortality that you describe.

kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
Sure, thanks for sharing what you did :)

What do you think about therapy sessions?

kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
Rest assured, the genie grants all wishes even if you choose to be greedy for a change.

Sounds like a modest, reflected asshole to me ;)

So, what would fundamentally change your life? And which actions would you be able to perform in a desirable life (without the servants etc)?
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
What were your past experiences with "getting in the way"?
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
Cool - thanks for sharing! :) Did you already schedule your next longish break?
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
I hope your wish will become true and that your wife will survive!

Do you already have back up plans to let your kids experience the unconditional love of her mom even when she is not around in a body any more?

kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
What do you think is currently the best form and when do you think it failed?
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
I love it :D Thanks for sharing!

I the post, it links another post which tries to find predictors for which people like it and which don't. However, that link is broken. Do you know about a solution for this?

kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
haha! good one. Too bad the guy is illusioned. In the end, I think he made the right choice, though! However, I might want to remind me of this from time to time, too, when I get lured by other things where I think they are incompatible with the true love I already found.
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
Why? :)
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I find it very inspiring! Looking at the suicide rates in the world I am glad that you are not part of the statistics although you were struggling a lot in life.

Also, it's heart-warming for me to read that you have hope and a path forward and I wish you all the strength to get ahead and ... to ... keep ... moving.

Just like in the poem https://poets.org/poem/do-not-go-gentle-good-night

And I hope that every now and then you find something pleasureable in life as well! (A notion which I miss in the poem - maybe there is a better one? :D)

And I am glad you enjoy reading the other responses! Thank you for mentioning this!

kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
May I ask: why? :)
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
1 - why?

2 - why?

:)

+1 I was also curious when it comes up :) Glad it did explicitly, eventually :) (It would have been one of my first ones, too, but I first wanted to make sure to have more wishes :D)
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
I love your picture of the future. What are you doing to get one step closer to it? How can others help you?
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
Love that. My first thought was: but what if you did not think the consequences of your wish through? But then I guess, since you have all the power in the world, you could just correct any of the inconveniences that you did not see coming in the first place, right? And all of this in real time - love it :D
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
It seems to me like your current challenge is the path to happiness. Is this correct? What is your next step on that journey?
kite_and_code··on Ask HN: A genie appears. What do you wish for?
Cool, thank you for connecting the dots for me :)
