nodemaker··on Booking.com agrees to EU demands to change travel offers
One thing that I dont think people are aware is that Booking.com uses extensive A/B Testing in the development of the website. This gives us the website that is extremely efficient in getting bookings but full of dark patterns.
nodemaker··on TikTok curbed reach for people with disabilities
Finally a company that is sensible and free from virtue signalling bs from silicon valley who in fact end up doing more social damage contrary to what they claim!
nodemaker··on Light pollution is key 'bringer of insect apocalypse'
Yeah usually 80 percent of any problem is just one factor. In this case that's clearly pesticides and the discussion of more potential causes is a benefit to the producers.

nodemaker··on Our Brains Tell Stories So We Can Live (2013)
Living in the modern world almost feels like the reward circuitry is under attack from corporations with their advertising and they are almost always trying to trick us into doing things that are beneficial to them and harmful to us. (Ex. Fast food, Social Media, even insurance companies :))

Arguably it has been that way for a while, but then factor the internet in, and the time we are spending on it, these corporations have almost unlimited direct access to our brain and can show us whatever image they want to train our brains in ways they want.

nodemaker··on Man as a Rationalist Animal (2017)
I think the example was meant to be hypothetical and a bit absurd so that people can understand the point being made. There are enough real world examples of state intervention for the "common good" gone awry.

nodemaker··on Everyone’s Income Taxes Should Be Public
This is actually a good argument. Leading by example :D
nodemaker··on Ask HN: Those who moved careers from the US to India, what's your experience?
Sure feel free to email me at <myusername>@gmail.com :)
nodemaker··on Ask HN: Those who moved careers from the US to India, what's your experience?
After about 1.5 years of working in the US, I moved back to India for a year and made some mobile apps at home and also travelled south east asia. It was obvious that H1B was a waste of my time.

Then moved to the Netherlands and worked freelance and some regular jobs there for 5 years to get EU permanent residency.

Now moving to Spain and working as a remote freelancer in Barcelona for iOS/Android apps.

nodemaker··on U.S. teens are spending less time with their friends in person
Is being so boring and antisocial a norm these days ? :D (Just busting your balls haha)

I think a lot of us deeply care about the future society that will cater to the people that are currently young. And it seems remarkably boring, superficial and for the lack of a better word, just devoid of anything fun.

In the end noone cares if this is a subculture (there were enough subcultures when I was in school i.e goths, metalheads etc), its more of a problem if this behaviour becomes uniform across all cultures and mainstream.

nodemaker··on Australian telcos block access to 4chan, other sites
Ban all the popular toxic websites including facebook, instagram except maybe google and other actually useful sites.

If a website adds no value / negative value to people's lives yet is used by a significant number of people for a significant amount of time every day it should be banned or time limited in my opinion. A bit similar to cigarettes or sugary drinks.

Who decides? The government does based on recommendation by the judiciary. Its their job to legislate

No one is stopping you from registering a new website so please dont argue freedom of speech.

nodemaker··on Roma's Wounding Confession
Let me guess! You probably think the great gatsby is a classic.
nodemaker··on Show HN: Arxiv Vanity – Read academic papers from Arxiv as responsive web pages
Awesome thank you so much :) The GAN paper somehow feels more readable :D
nodemaker··on Tinder and the Dawn of the “Dating Apocalypse”
I do agree with you on a few points (like the sum total of unhappiness has increased) but man you do need to go out and meet some women who break your stereotypes. Everytime I make any stereotype I am really eager to find someone who breaks them and with women its really very easy because for every bitchy girl I meet, I also meet at least three girls who are super nice! You just have to keep going till you meet them.
nodemaker··on Living in Switzerland ruined me for America and its lousy work culture
> You say that like it's a bad thing, but it's a big reason I like Switzerland. Life's too short to be ashamed of who you are.

Really man? So people like you do exist in 2015?

nodemaker··on Zapcc: A faster C++ compiler
is it really that unusual in our industry to work for money :) ?
nodemaker··on End Mass Incarceration Now
You need to read Freakonomics!
nodemaker··on Ask HN: My 19 year old friend has cancer. How can I help him?
Thanks a lot :)
nodemaker··on Ask HN: My 19 year old friend has cancer. How can I help him?
Yes he does have a genetic condition called Lynch Syndrome that makes him predisposed to colorectal cancer. Thanks I will tell him to ask (or ask myself if possible) the oncologist for any possible options.
nodemaker··on Ask HN: My 19 year old friend has cancer. How can I help him?
Thanks :) I will send him the article.
nodemaker··on Ask HN: My 19 year old friend has cancer. How can I help him?
Thanks! Yeah I will make sure we get the last wishes down in case it goes downhill.
nodemaker··on Ask HN: My 19 year old friend has cancer. How can I help him?
Thanks a lot! I will send him an email. Could I by any chance use your reference?
nodemaker··on Ask HN: My 19 year old friend has cancer. How can I help him?
Yes sometimes I forget this in trying to get him to try new things but I will keep this in mind. Thanks!
nodemaker··on Engineer's Guide to US Visas
There are also a lot of other companies like markplaats, ice etc. (LinkedIn is your friend)
nodemaker··on Engineer's Guide to US Visas
I applied to a few companies, got an offer and moved with a Dutch residence and work permit. The whole thing took about a month. There is a huge demand for skilled engineers in the EU.
