Those are all really excellent points and part of why I thought the article might be interesting to some of the developers here on Hacker News. A colleague of mine made an interesting point recently. They mentioned that it seems like the companies are really pushing hard on the developers on their teams to build these notifications, and then for marketing to to pile them on in mass. Then the folks who tend to be the most irritated by receiving this onslaught of notifications are other developers working on similar things for their company and not super psyched about it.

This is horrifying but ultimately not surprisingly either. Profit over the health of the people, always.

I felt embarrassed for forgetting to write "World's" in the headline. Turns out I was just thinking globally :p

Social anxiety is a real burden to live with. I'm in the same boat that you are, even when people are being very friendly with me and are obviously interested in getting to know me I can seem so uncomfortable that it is off-putting to them. I've been accused of being stuck up before when honestly I'm just very shy. If I could suggest anything that is fairly easy to start thinking about, I would suggest garnering a sense of style. Buy clothes that make you feel comfortable and make you look good- even if your look is unconventional the ability to express one's identity through fashion builds confidence.

One of the biggest issues with trying to explain a point via the internet is that the more time you spend expanding on your ideas in order to make your point, the less likely it is that someone who disagrees with your initial message will even finish reading your well thought out argument.

I just wanted to chime in with a tip for people who are struggling to get every last drop of tasty condiments out of containers. There are tiny rubber condiment spatulas designed to aid you in your quest for total condiment use. They are also useful for skin care products, but I wouldn't suggest using the same ones for both applications.

I have always wanted to allow more lawn growth to create room for insect and animals to thrive, and to replace the invasive grasses that are so common in my state with local clover and creeping thyme ground cover but I have been surprised at the level of resistance this has been met with by landlords and nosy neighbors. Keeping a "neat and tidy" yard is one of those weird cultural values in the US that was born from misguided beliefs about patriotism and is rooted in classist ideas.

Even the idea of dandelions being "weeds" is ridiculous as the dandelion is an incredibly useful plant that can be used in a variety of circumstances. I really suggest that anyone interested in these topics check out a book called Lawn People How Grasses, Weeds, and Chemicals Make Us Who We Are.

Funny story I read this in 2015 and in the following years I completely changed my life. I came out, changed my relationships, moved, switched jobs, totally altered the pattern of my sleep and work, started eating differently, going to the grocery store with 'candy' on the list.

Every year since 2015 was the best year of my life so far. 2022 is shaping up to be an absolute delight.

I do this! About once every three days i get up in the middle of the night, eat a meal, read a bit, maybe get a shower, then go back to sleep for 2-4 hours. I call them "night days"

someone should get RuPaul on this immediately

I'd never heard of this before but it's kind of nice! I want to give it a try for a few days

Ryanair gouging is... the least surprising thing

I don't think that we should change the industry over two events that really are 'black swan' events. However I do think OSS developers don't get paid enough. Faker isn't the reason, it's just a contributing factor.

How sure are we this guy wasn't just a hardcore masochist.

The strongest predictor for being unhoused isn't mental illness, but rather having any exposure to the foster care system: https://www.fosterfocusmag.com/articles/foster-care-and-home...

Sorry to add a third comment, but I'd love the 'share' button to include the game's url

I'd love to see the top left corner or the 'flood' section highlighted somehow, I really liked it!

Yeah, I had a great real estate agent in Portland who really encouraged me to get a payment I could afford long-term. Bizarrely inflation might be good for me: if my pay keeps increasing by 5-10% every year the relative size of my mortgage and the payment will shrink

Ahhh gotcha gotcha. <3

The fact that governments spend money on tents and 'temporary solutions' doesn't disprove my assertion that we refuse to build safe and stable housing for all our citizens.

Hackers trying to make sure crypto users can use GPU's, limiting the supply to gamers? god the Cyberpunk 2077 release was more of a disaster than we thought

"If you say that this invasion is wrong in an absolute sense, then all invasions are wrong"

"okay, all invasions are wrong"

"Wait if all invasions are wrong, then even border disputes are wrong, and so conflicts over territory are wrong"

"okay, conflict over state 'territory' is immoral"

"Wait wait wait, if you say that ALL state conflict over territory, then the violent enforcement of borders is wrong"

"okay, border enforcement is wrong"

"Now we're really off track: if enforcing borders is wrong then state control of lands is wrong, and states need to control lands and territory to enforce property"

"okay, the ownership of land is wrong"

"So you're saying that no one should get a piece of paper saying they own property? That charging rent and violently enforcing ownership is wrong? Gosh that would mean the whole state system was based on immoral feudal concepts, that it's a preservation of an oligarchy that has sin at its very core!!"

"okay."

Kind of fascinating that the origin of this term is an example where I don't think 'whataboutism' really applies:

Hey the IRA has committed multiple atrocities > well the English occupation of Ireland is much more violent and brutal than the IRA resistance

like, the IRA was planting bombs and killing kids in pursuit of throwing off the English, whose crimes were worse, and committed for the purpose of maintaining English control of Ireland.

later whataboutism is about questioning the standing of the speaker: "oh you hate Putin, but what about American crimes elsewhere?" These are unrelated points saying essentially "you can't criticize me for poisoning the ocean because you don't always recycle your cans"

Americans will do anything to avoid providing people with housing.

That seems like a totally reasonable request.

There's a number of theories stated here but I'd definitely highlight the idea that you've become interesting to law enforcement for one of a number of reasons. This pattern looks like ones experienced by sex workers, being banned from various services because the verification phone numbers are the same as those of a known Sex Work account. Once you match a pattern, the blocking and banning are very aggressive.

So some possibilities:

* your name is the same or very close to a target you don't know at all/have nothing to do with.

* you're working in an industry target by federal law enforcement. Big ones here would be sex work, cannabis, or political liberation

* Someone is repeatedly using your identity for something sinister. If this is a repeated pattern (which it sounds like), then it would make sense if that person is a close friend or family member. - Almost any time some is the victim of identity theft more than twice it turns out it's their partner or parent.
