Re:Ask HN: What Android App do you use to browse HN? on Saturday March 03, 2018 @05:22AM (#16508686)
+1 for Materialistic
I use Trello. I have an android app to jolt down ideas on the go. or macOS app to do the same while working in office. Trello syncs across devices which is awesome. My basic idea (one liner) goes as the card title. and description of the card have the implementation details (which i write down when i am at leisure, probably using macOS version)
Re:Ask HN: .io vs .ai for a startup? on Sunday February 04, 2018 @10:30PM (#16306406)
I would go for .ai because thats the core feature. domain with .ai gives away your core offering (i.e. ML/Al) and you would have customer attention from the very beginning. According to me, it also adds credibility and legitimacy in a subtle way which goes a long way in lead conversion.
Re:Ask HN: What will be the future of Bitcoin? on Sunday February 04, 2018 @08:44AM (#16302708)
What happens when most of the governments declare Bitcoin mining and trading illegal? South Korea is already acting on it. China has raided mining stations in the past. Even Indian government is planning on taking harse stance against bitcoin exchanges in India and bitcoin holders. What happens when you are not able to trade bitcoin legally at all? This will hinder growth of Bitcoin community.
or alternative to working on OSS is to create a product and try to sell it. If it sells you dont need a job at all and yout are sitting on a money making startup. And if it doesnt then you can use this product to show case your skills to the potential employer.

Re:Bitcoin is no long the only game in crypto-currency town on Thursday January 11, 2018 @01:12PM (#16126171)
"Even Facebook has reportedly started looking into creating a token. Should the world’s biggest social network ever make that move, bitcoin’s days as the leading crypto-currency would almost certainly be numbered" > this is a paradox, blockchain technology's best use case is decentralization of data (and power from companies like facebook). And if Facebook issues crypto coin and it starts dominating the market (not necessarily) then we are back at square one.
napping. have heard aboit lots of benefits of mid afternoon naps. I will give it a try.
Re:Ask HN: What are you doing for your mental health? on Monday January 08, 2018 @03:29AM (#16095421)
* weight training (gym) 3 times a week * martial arts/ parkour/ swimming 2 times/ week (on non-gym days) * practice mindfulness (not meditation but staying consciously in the moment) * eating heathy vegetarian freshly home cooked diet 6 days/week * try to sleep atleast 7 hours (i am not able to consistently manage this yet) * try to take mid noon naps (this compensates a lack of night sleep to some extent) * weekly meet ups with new people and maybe make new friends in the process. * removed facebook and instagram apps from mobile (may check updates on the web onve in a while but not regularly) * Trying to keep a watch on myself (taking notes of my unhealthy habits or routines) and try to replace them with healthier routines. * using Anki app ( spaced repetition memory technique ) and go through all flash cards for that day in first 2 hours of day. * take shower everyday in first 2 hours of waking up and grooming. this is already doing wonders to me as it forces me to go to gym first thing in the morning to avoid taking shower again. It also makes me feel fresher and ready for the day. * read a book for few minutes before going to bed.
