schandur on Hacker News
I have started to do this in real life where I get a sudden feeling of urgency (that I am needed somewhere or have to check for messages from my team or respond to the CEO's text). As soon as I catch it, I press both feet down firmly on the ground for just a few seconds. It immediately calms me down. Stop and smell the roses, as they say.
I find myself doing this a couple dozen times a day.
You said the magic keyword: "curiosity", when it comes to computers and tech at least. Something that I find severely lacking among - for lack of a better term - Gen Z.
"apartheid officers in Tel Aviv"
First time I am reading this on Hacker News.
I was there earlier this year, well worth a visit - try to make it to one of their guided tours, I believe they have two per day.

One favorite recollection of the Twitter API usage was this guy who hooked up a pressure sensor to a Twitter account, and placed the sensor under his newly married friend's bed - and the thing would tweet when the couple got in bed. [0]

> The majority of the content on my Facebook feed is links to external websites.
Not sure if you are joking, but with features like "Instant Articles", Facebook has every reason to keep people on facebook.com rather than sending them to external websites.
When you are locked down in a walled garden that allows messaging (within the garden) and every other service is blocked, people will simply believe that walled garden is all there is.
> I've never written a line of Ruby
I say this exact same thing on my Linkedin profile:
"I have never written a line of Ruby... but I bet you can make me if it comes to that."
Is the self-driving fleet really that close?
Several Business Insider articles are like that, which is why I almost always avoid opening BI links.
One of the many reasons I refuse to open Business Insider links.
I am one of those skinny people awaiting my sleep study results.

Congratulations to the GitLab team! We use a self-hosted version and are very happy with it.
That's what I thought - and not just Samsung, but specifically a particular model. "Cover .gif shot on a..."
Just European countries? Pretty sure it's many more than that.
Personally, I wouldn't jump to call them "clueless", at least in the case of Facebook. They seem to clearly know what they are doing is not in the spirit of net neutrality, yet defend it to no end.
I have some complaints on the Surface Pro 2, but mostly related to the TypeCover keyboard. Haven't played with SP3.
How is this different from Israel or China? Genuine question.
