rokhayakebe··on How actors remember their lines
I heard there are people who memorise the Quran without knowing the slightest bit of Arabic?

True, I am doing this myself. 4 days a week and plan to continue for the next 10 years. Memorized several pages so far with a lot more to go without understanding any of it.

rokhayakebe··on Ask HN: My company went bankrupt today and I have 2 options
You could start a new service based company. Offer your skillset and your team's to clients, hopefully on a retainer-based agreement so that revenue is a bit steady. Then use the team's extra time and yours to create your own products.

rokhayakebe··on In every country people think others are less happy than they themselves say (2017)
They could have been equally happy or happier because they did not have this reference or refrigeration or clean water.

For all we know when people start to travel cross continent in minutes, press a button and have instant steak printed, we cannot assume they will be happier than everyone alive today. They will have their own set of issues to weight them down. If nothing, boredom.

rokhayakebe··on The Age of the Crisis of Work
Accepted.

You are an employee, but if you would like to explore consultancy and possibly earn 2X or more, then fix this, document it, and start a side hustle doing ONLY this. I suspect if you can do it for one, you can do it for hundreds. If you do not fix it, it will be harder to sell. If you do, you have proof.

rokhayakebe··on Unearthing a long-ignored African writing system

rokhayakebe··on Ask HN: How do you protect your children from internet addiction?
One solution is to spend time with them doing activities, playing.

I have noticed children (below 3) DO NOT prefer tablets/phones. If you give a two-year a tablet, wait until they are completed engaged and ask them "wanna go outside?" they will forget the tablet. Kids always prefer to play, but when parents do/can not spend time with them, they will happily find entertainment elsewhere.

I haven't tested this with children above 3, but I suspect it is the same up to 12.

rokhayakebe··on A Dad Took Photos of His Kid for the Doctor. Google Flagged Him as a Criminal

Suggestion to remove the first one from your question. It is a good one.
rokhayakebe··on Ask HN: How would you design an alternative Twitter
We gotta build things for the humans we have, not the humans we wish to have. Maybe global public squares don't work for the humans we have. That's ok.

Where is the elevated sense of self importance? Where did OP say it shouldn't exist. You read this with filters.

OP simply stated that we need to build a product which is more aligned with how humans are and NOT how we wish humans were. A rebuttal would be to show that current products solve the problem we have and we do not need to change anything.
