Ask HN: How do I stop my iPhone addiction?

I’m spending hours and hours a day wasting time on my phone - twitter, Facebook, random googling.It feels like my brain has been completely hijacked by a dopamine hit dynamic. Feels identical to alcoholism or drug abuse.Every time I step away from my phone, I feel this urge to “drink” and start doom scrolling again.This probably shaves 4-5 hours of every work day.Have you found any apps,...

Ask HN: Places near nature to live/work remotely in US/Canada?

With working remotely now acceptable for all companies, I'm looking for places to move from NYC. Ideally in or near nature; affordability would be a plus; a place where one can live year-round without temperature extremes in summer or winter. What's your experience been living there? Thank you!!

I’m wondering how many commenters here actually live in NYC. Delivery bikes are a menace. A 20-something guy in my building recently started hopping around on crutches. Athletic guy. Got hit by a food delivery bike and fractured his leg. I have a near miss at least once a week. They’re like darts that pop out of nowhere even on sidewalks, at full speed, sometimes swerving at the last second. Zero respect for any traffic laws. It’s especiaily dangerous if you have a dog as I do, esp when crossing a street, bc a bike can slice into the leash in the space between you and your dog, since the bikes pop out of nowhere so fast. I’m exceedingly cautious at night now in scanning around me at crosswalks.
Re:Can Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes Fend Off Her Critics? on Friday December 11, 2015 @02:33PM (#10719315)
I work at a hedge fund and spend most of my time shorting stocks, especially healthcare/biotech/pharma stocks given the plethora of fraudulent companies in that space. I remember reading about Theranos several years even though it's private, and thinking there is no way this thing is not a fraud. I predict this will eventually be revealed as the biggest fraud ever in silicon valley. It just checks off way too many fraud boxes, based on my personal pattern recognition.
