atom-morgan··on Apple Never Made iMessage for Android to Lock in iOS Users
Other than images and videos degrading, I'm always surprised by the number of people who care so much about iMessage.

Is it even the extra features or do people primarily care about blue/green bubbles?

atom-morgan··on Ask HN: What was the biggest contributor to your happiness in the past year?
How was the transition for you? Did you already have clients from past work or did you start cold?
atom-morgan··on My 2 Year Journey to $10K MRR
I'm guessing he designed it himself but if you have Twitter you can ask him directly: https://twitter.com/yongfook
atom-morgan··on College campuses are designed at human-scale – cities can be too
Is the cost of housing just much cheaper than people expect it to be or what? I'm surprised to hear it's lower than Atlanta which is where I currently live.
atom-morgan··on More than 73% of American adults are overweight or obese
Lack of demand I'm guessing. Within cities it's much easier to find healthier food at restaurants.
atom-morgan··on Babies' random choices become their preferences
Right. As weird as it sounds I think you have to "practice" liking certain foods.

I used to hate ginger but drinking ginger kombucha, which has a ginger taste but isn't overwhelming, slowly acclimated me to the taste of ginger. A few months later and I actually liked ginger.

I can still see why I use to hate it but it's just...more palatable now.

The more I looked into flavors (bitter, salty, sour, sweet, umami) I realized I almost always had issues with sour. Not anymore.

atom-morgan··on We Hacked Apple for 3 Months
Many people undervalue their services.
atom-morgan··on Paul Stamets on the interrelationship among mushrooms, consciousness, and nature
Aren't governments getting in the way of those uses?
atom-morgan··on Nvidia Unveils GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs
Based on anecdotes it seems like it. Older generations always seemed to think pets had no idea what was going on when viewing a TV to the point of ignoring it. I'm assuming their body language suggested so.

Nowadays people open up koi pond videos on phones and let their cats play with it. But like you mentioned, it would be interesting to see a study on it.

atom-morgan··on Apple, Epic, and the App Store
Unlike CS:GO, Fortnite skins aren't gambling.
atom-morgan··on Feds say Yale discriminates against Asian, white applicants
And? Why the exception for African Americans?
atom-morgan··on Short on Money, Cities Around the World Try Making Their Own
I, and many others I know, aren't far right and support it. We just don't want the government to print money at will.
atom-morgan··on A College Degree Is No Guarantee of a Good Life
Teaching yourself new skills using the Internet.
atom-morgan··on LSD Chemist William Pickard to Be Released from Prison
I mean why not make alcohol illegal because of the chance that it could negatively affect the people around you?

That has a much higher likelihood than my not-wearing-a-helmet affecting someone else but very few people would support alcohol prohibition.

atom-morgan··on LSD Chemist William Pickard to Be Released from Prison
The possibility of someone else's trauma shouldn't infringe on my freedom to ride a bike without a helmet.
atom-morgan··on GraphQL Query Generator
> Am I alone in thinking this is a ridiculous solution to replace traditional REST endpoints?

I've used GraphQL on a couple projects I've worked on and I still don't understand all of the hype. Thankfully I've never had to set it up from the ground up but even as an end user I don't truly understand how I'm benefitting from it.

atom-morgan··on Writing a software book and making over $100k
I don't understand it myself which is why I chose to self-publish. Very easy nowadays, even if you want to be on Amazon.
atom-morgan··on Ask HN: What weird or hard problems are you trying to solve?
What have you tried so far?
atom-morgan··on For black CEOs in Silicon Valley, humiliation is a part of doing business
Wasn't one of his primary motives to cripple the Confederacy by signing the Emancipation Proclamation? In other words, he didn't simply do it because it was the right thing to do.
atom-morgan··on Restaurants rebel against delivery apps as cities crack down on fees
Would you apply this to all convenience based services you use?
atom-morgan··on Patio11's Law: The software economy is bigger than you think
> Because it’s almost impossible to switch out of Basecamp and use a competitor.

Is that unique to Basecamp or does it apply to all similar software? I haven't Basecamp all that much. What exactly do they do to ensure this?

atom-morgan··on The state of the restaurant industry
Have you ever actually watched a busboy wipe down your table? Sometimes I swear they just use a wet rag dumped into soapy water that's been reused over and over.
atom-morgan··on Little known features of iTerm2
What's your iTerm2 replacement on Windows? I use Hyper right now but the clear command doesn't even work correctly.
atom-morgan··on Half of Americans Don’t Vote. What Are They Thinking?
I was thinking, "Between Clinton and Trump, pass"
atom-morgan··on The man who discovered umami
That's...a huge branding error. Seriously, Organic Seaweed Salt (GF/V) would fly off the shelves at Whole Foods.
atom-morgan··on Amazon has 150M Prime members
> I don't want it sitting on my porch all day (pirates)

Assuming you aren't constantly claiming this is happening with prior orders, Amazon will probably just send out another one free of charge.

atom-morgan··on How to Find New Music
Tycho also did a really great performance on KEXP a few years ago: https://youtu.be/c_56qQqxvm4
atom-morgan··on Back pain is a problem which is badly treated
I bought one of these and was never fully satisfied with it. Do you put the prongs directly in line with your belly button? Just above or below it?
atom-morgan··on Why Japan is so successful at returning lost property
I only had mine with me because it was raining.
atom-morgan··on Why Japan is so successful at returning lost property
That's interesting because when I visited I went to an onsen and my umbrella didn't fit the lock system. Then I thought, "What do I have to worry about? I'm in Japan. Nobody will steal it." 3 hours later and it was still there waiting for me.
