maiti_ma··on What I Learned from My Mom (1941-2026)
Such a nice article, beautiful tribute, I enjoyed reading it. I wish I sent that email to my mom too. If you still can, send it, express it.
maiti_ma··on Why do we assume everyone should be working?
I wish a different adjective was used other than 'stupid', because it can distract from the point of the article (I wanted to come up with an acronym - best attempt: Someone Too Unsuitably Positioned In D workforce, and finally asked chat gpt: Someone Tragically Unqualified, Poorly Integrated & Deployed). Anyhow, I don't take it as an insult to anyone, but simply people's circumstances (limited opportunities, lack of education..) can make it difficult for them to positively contribute to the system.
maiti_ma··on Show HN: Science for Kids
Nice, you cover very interesting and fun questions! I'd love to know the answers to all of these once my kid (baby now) is old enough to ask about it. I scanned a few articles and they seem bit too long for me, I'd expect it to be more concise (I hope kids have a better attention span than me!). Btw, is the glove with six fingers for the article on six sides of an ice flake an intentional put?

`Mencius said: "The trouble with people is that they are too fond of being teachers to others."`

I never thought about this but I really believe it to be true and would love to know why is that. For example, whenever I want to get an interaction going with very small kids, I would pretend to not know something and they'd be super happy to teach me - works every time.

What kind of massages? I'm curious of this really works.
