Re:Is Bitcoin a Bubble? Economists Say ‘Yes’ on Thursday December 14, 2017 @11:42AM (#15923735)
I would advise you to read "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable" by Nassim Taleb if you haven't already. events
I would actually recommend people to give amateur ornithology a try. When I was 12, my grandfather gave me a pair of binoculars and an ornithology guide and since then, every summer I go on hikes to watch birds. It's a wonderfully relaxing and fulfilling activity, my brain is weirdly active while watching birds and I end up doing a lot of reflection on those hikes. It's also incredibly satisfying to spot a rare bird.

I know you might think you will never be into it, but give it a try. It's also a great activity to keep doing well into old age.

Pretty cool.

As far as Neural Networks goes, I would really recommend reading Michael Nielsen's book (http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com). Just top notch content and free!

Re:Moody's: U.S. Telecoms are underinvesting in broadband on Thursday December 15, 2016 @05:16PM (#13189046)
We need some more Telecom competition here in the US to improve their services. I live in San Francisco and I've been waiting for a good while now for webpass to become an option in my building. Comcast service is really subpar. Meanwhile all my friends in northern europe have crazy gigabit connections.
Re:GitHub lost $66M in nine months of 2016 on Thursday December 15, 2016 @05:13PM (#13189015)
please guys get your shit together. I guess I would be able to figure out an alternative but a big chunk of my life as a programmer is centered around Github. It would be a major let down to see them perish.
Re:Show HN: Lightweight time-management CLI tool on Monday October 03, 2016 @09:27PM (#12632705)
Sweet! I saved the link. My intention is to take a look at the source code and then write my own ding-ding cli tool. It will be fun and I think it will give me a nice feeling when using it.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Very cool! Are you going to open source the code for this little app? Would love to take a look at it!
