Internet over phone over internet :D

They're identical on the same machine, but the Macbook only has USB3.1 (+ Display Port) whereas the Macbook Pro is TB3. This isn't very obvious to users.

I love absolutely everything about this.

Thanks! I hate it :)

The whole country?!

But, like all of their tasks in the past, those Tasks are in an entirely separate database. So as I see it, there are currently three Google taskesque databases:

- Classic Calendar tasks

- Reminders (Calendar, Inbox, Assistant)

- Tasks (Sidebar in Gmail, Calendar, and Docs)

Correct me if I'm wrong? They merge and create new task databases all the time it seems, so it's hard to keep straight.

I didn't think it was possible to fall in love with a website, but here I am. Nostalgia!

I've been brainstorming ways to overhaul my personal site for a while now, and this is definitely the way I'll be going. Personal web pages used to mean something.

Sorry to hear that? That's a little insulting.

Swear words don't have to be negative. Language changes with each generation, words find new uses and connotations and intensities. I for one enjoy my generation's creative takes on conventional swear words!

Gmail was in beta for over five years ;)

Yep! I'm the same age as her, and this is how we all speak to each other immediately upon earning/winning/receiving something incredible. It's from a place of love, but only works with friends and close acquaintances.

Maybe it's a specific brand you can buy? The normal cafe car pizza is, for example, the very same DiGiorno microwave pizza I lazily ate throughout high school. So that too is comfort food to me, garbage as it is.

Laura, just want to let you know that your response (sibling comment to this one) is marked as dead.

This is such a cool idea.

On another note, I was delighted when I read the word "Homeroom" - I've only eaten there once, but it's such a fantastic restaurant! I have to go back next time I'm in the area.

Just a fan. I did several co-ops at west coast tech companies (San Francisco and Seattle) that gave me ample opportunities to see my favorite bands touring. I kept track of my concerts with a spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XIwkqPQmxT6jZE5UMjxU...

Same, I keep discreet earplugs on my key chain and discreetly wear them in bars or similar unexpectedly loud places. Most people don't notice them even when they know I do this this. I'm a big fan of Earasers, which I bought for rock concerts, because they're generic musicians ear plugs (and therefore don't muffle people's voices), and they're practically unnoticeable.

For actual rock concerts, I have molded musicians ear plugs which make the music sound just incredible, and I have no discomfort afterwards. I also highly recommend those.

Wow, this gives me hope. I'm 22 and in the past two years I've gone to ~100 rock concerts, seeing a total of 270 sets. For the first 23 concerts I didn't wear any hearing protection, until I had a scary event with my hearing at a Neon Trees concert that left my hearing very distorted for three days. Then for the next 80 or so concert's I'd wear my hearing protection most–but not all–of the time.

In the past year I've had worsening tinnitus. Although now (and for the last ~30 concerts) I've worn ear plugs most of the time (and recently bought molded ear plugs), the tinnitus still gives me great anxiety when I hear it in quiet places like my bedroom at night. The permanency of it is what freaks me out the most. But your comment gives me hope that I'll one day be able to enjoy silence again.

I fully urge anyone who goes to rock and similar concerts with any frequency at all to wear hearing protection. I'm a fan of Earasers and custom-molded musicians ear plugs. Even if you don't care about your hearing now, once you do care, it'll often be too late.

Wow, this guy is being shockingly immature. He honestly writes like my friends and I did when we were young teenagers. This is disappointing for HN.

That's a nice sentiment but that isn't how laws work.

And they have a deal with my credit card where it's 50% off, so I pay $2.50/month for Spotify and Hulu :D

Reminds me of this amazing story and song!

Fun fact, Ctrl+[ also escapes. Had to retrain my muscle memory to use Ctrl+[ when I got my Touch Bar mac, but I think I actually prefer it to ESC. It's guaranteed to work on vim on any system (unlike caps lock), and it keeps my fingers closer to home row.

If it gets too broken, we can always put it to work operating the kitchen toaster.

I think this is what the parent comment is referring to:

Interestingly, this was almost the exact plot to the the latest season finale.

I wear Daily contacts, and I keep a spare pair in the pocket watch pocket of all my jeans. Super useful, especially if I crash at a friend's place over night.

Me too! Mousing over the article links[1] reminds me a lot of the modern Apple TV UI.

How did you do it?

I love this so much.

I wonder how they dogfooded this. :-P

That's Fitbit's call. Would be a great way to retain some product/brand loyalty among its supporters though!
