theswaagar··on Ask HN: Have you been able to replace your smartphone with a smart watch?
For me, the question was "Can I reduce my dependency on mobile devices by 90%?". And for me that answer was No. If all you do on your phone is reply with either "Yes" or "No" and use Siri for all other things, then yes. I found even for driving directions that my Apple Watch is just a nice to have during the drive, but I still prefer to input the destination using my phone.

I view smart watches as a convenience, but smart phones are a necessity.

theswaagar··on Ask HN: What background to use for online presentation?
Its the details that matter. A small company logo on every slide, color scheme that matches the company colors, and not having things too crowded (a la Death by Powerpoint) tends to make things look more put together.

6 hours is kind of an exaggeration, it's more like 2 hours total which could be well worth it
