News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Nice to see you on HN, Bayram aga.
This happened to me in 2018. We were chatting with an acquaintance about horse racing. I never showed an interest in that topic or visited the location. Just after 5 mins he left I received an ad from Instagram on Horse Racing competition which was happening in the same city.

My only assumption was Instagram/Facebook was somehow listening our conversation.

Re:Ask HN: Do you still use Clubhouse app? on Wednesday December 15, 2021 @06:49AM (#29564691)
Hey Thomas. I am that one person in the room.

About the topic, glad that Clubhouse hype is over. There are niche communities around the world who are still actively using it.

Also people who don't use Discord or other gaming apps are using it for live game chatting.

Reminds of Haven episode S1 of Star Trek Next Gen. Any crime is punishable by death. So there won't be any more crime.

Re:The Lonely Work of Moderating Hacker News (2019) on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @02:31AM (#25056256)
HackerNews is my go to place for any type of tech question. Recently, I had RSI because of related sports injury. I learnt VIM shortcuts, bought Microsoft Egonomic keyboard and logi mouse based on suggestions here. I am learning tones of stuff on technologies that I use daily. I really wish I had like-minded friends in real life who are hackernews fans. Hit me up if anyone currently in or visits Dubai, UAE.
Reddit did the same thing. Don't use as much as i use before.

What type of life do you think out there? Viruses, bacterias, cellular organisms...

Imagine there are giant creatures that enjoy romantic walk under iron rains :D

Amazing really awesome classics :) I would listen those songs for days nonstop.

There very few songs from my country though. Going to upload some.

Do you have video?
We drive 2.5 - 3 hours to Abu Dhabi deserts to watch milky way.

It is nearly impossible to enjoy dark sky in Dubai.

Why governments around the world do not invest in pandemic preventions?

Wouldn't it be better to invest let's say 100 billion rather than losing a trillions?
