I love starting there - this one is pages 25-72!
Re:Ask HN: Do you do any mentoring outside of work? on Friday September 01, 2017 @11:21AM (#15149149)
I think it does. I've sat in on mentorships for small businesses via the local Economic Development dept. at city hall.

The Canadian equivalent is http://ladieslearningcode.com/. It's a fun time, I try to do it if my free time lines up with a workshop.
Re:Ask HN: Mindfulness for Hackers on Wednesday August 30, 2017 @04:19PM (#15135631)
I don't think there's any field that requires a special approach to mindfulness, but it may be useful to people in those fields to have examples put in relatable contexts - that's why you'll see Mindfulness For Athletes/Executives/Etc... even if it kind of all boils down to common elements.
Re:Ionic Marketplace on Wednesday August 19, 2015 @10:18PM (#10089708)
Are you using Crosswalk for both iOS and Android, or just for Android? We've been using Ionic + Cordova with pretty good results on iOS so far, but we're starting to shift focus onto the Android offering.
Re:How Google Authorship decreased our traffic by 90% on Thursday May 30, 2013 @11:17AM (#5793002)
This is exactly what I think every time I see it. And sometimes it does take me to a g+ page, so I've trained myself to just avoid it.
Re:App.net’s new direction on Monday February 25, 2013 @10:39PM (#5283791)
C10K is the problem of handling 10K clients simultaneously, I presume C1M is an extension of that.

There's an 'Ads' list element on the left under 'Favourites'.

Which no one would ever click.

Re:Ask PG: 2012 Startup ideas you'd like to fund? on Sunday December 25, 2011 @02:59PM (#3391502)
My friend had this idea earlier this year: http://letmereadthatforyou.com/.

I don't know what's come of it, or if he's even got any requests, heh.

Re:You Can't Hack Photography on Saturday November 26, 2011 @06:04PM (#3280986)
Regarding your last point, there's a series of videos on YouTube where pro photographers are challenged to take the best pictures they can with 'subpar/cheap' gear; the results are pretty incredible.

Here's the first in that series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUkKtkEZNjs

Re:Ask HN: What Mac Mini Configuration Would You Buy? on Wednesday July 20, 2011 @12:50PM (#2786414)
I'm curious what HN's opinion of the Mac Mini server is. $999, quad-core i7 and unlimited users.

Re:Why Twitter Should be Very Worried about Google+ on Friday July 01, 2011 @02:16PM (#2719491)
I think this is the most likely. The top left of the google bar is +[name], and Andy Hertzfeld referenced other people in this way in his post: https://plus.google.com/117840649766034848455/posts/FddaP6je...
Re:First Night With Google Plus: This is Very Cool on Wednesday June 29, 2011 @08:02AM (#2709157)
Oddly enough, at the end of Pariser's TED talk, he called out facebook and Google to allow users to control what gets through their 'filter' and what doesn't. This is definitely bubble-ification, though at first glance it's the user who's in control of it.
