Re:Stoop Coffee: A simple idea transformed my neighborhood on Wednesday March 26, 2025 @07:37AM (#43481081)
Rented a house with friends in sf in 2016. We created a facebook group for our neighborhood, put up signs, and very quickly had a similar experience. A few neighbors over for drinks one night, hosted a weekend bbq a few weeks later. Quickly got to know a lot of people on my immediate block. One guy fixed my bike. An older woman called me when her fire alarm was intermittently beepting, to see if I could fix it. Had a few other events through the group, they were a highlight of the year. Made it clear to me how much latent desire there is for connection / friends from your neighbors.

More senior employees can easily know ~1000x more about the company than new employees. These employees are like lower branches on a tree, their knowledge crucially supporting many others. Key departures can sever entire branches.

I'm sure this exists. Would someone mind pointing me to it?More specifically, I'm interested in scheduling tools /APIs built with LLMs(that take natural language input – "Schedule 30 minutes for this sometime later this week" – and schedules an event accordingly)

Re:Show HN: Weekly zoom meetings to talk phone addiction on Wednesday December 02, 2020 @06:22PM (#25283170)
Especially this year, phone/twitter usage and general scrolling feels like it's gotten out of control for me. Putting together a weekly Zoom meeting as a chance to talk about with other folks who are also struggling.

Did I need to create this, or are there already good places to have this kind of meeting?

Welcome copy thoughts.
