YES. I disabled it, and no longer use it. I did not delete it altogether, because all of my contacts are on Facebook Messenger. Honestly, my general happiness rose about 10% after leaving FB. It's trash for the brain, and hurts more than it helps. Get rid of it.
Re:The U.S. Yield Curve Has Inverted

Due to this historical correlation, the yield curve is often seen as an accurate forecast of the turning points of the business cycle. A recent example is when the U.S. Treasury yield curve inverted in 2000 just before the U.S. equity markets collapsed."

Here's another framework, that raps around a library, that wraps around another framework, that wraps around another library.... please... stop making me learn new things to keep myself relevant in the vertigo-inducing swirling vortex that is Javascript.
Ask HN: Is TDD still a thing in 2018?
I'm prepping to go job hunting again (sigh...), and wondering whether or not TDD is in vogue.A few years ago, it was the in-thing and everyone was preaching it like it was some type of technological savior, but I don't see many articles about it anymore.So is TDD/BDD still cool, or has it been added to the IT scrap pile?NOTE: I am not asking about Unit Tests - just about TDD/BDD as a...

As a previous soldier (commander of a hummer unit), there are serious challenges that the terrain offers. Bits of sand and rock get into EVERYTHING when you're driving over them. All those small complex moving parts could easily become a nightmare if they got stuck full of grit. Hopefully their engineering takes this into account.

Ask HN: Is there a chat service that allows Markdown?
Maybe an extension that would allow Markdown in a service like HipChat. This would allow collaboration on code with the ability to give code examples that had syntax highlighting and code-block highlighting.

Maybe instead of revoking every global citizen's right to any type of privacy, the government should address the issue behind the terrorism: namely, radical Islam being allowed to proliferate freely and metastasize.

You think the current antics of Islamic State are anecdotal? You just need to watch the news for all of 17 seconds to see that this is a very accepted cultural norm.
