ddeokbokki··on Teen Becomes First Hacker to Earn $1M Through Bug Bounties
I learned a tremendous amount from Root-Me [1], it has a strong community and is _often_ updated with new challenges.

ddeokbokki··on Amazon’s press-to-order Dash buttons are officially discontinued
Yes absolutely, the official AWS IoT button is 22GBP, I bought my dash buttons 99p each on Amazon and use them as regular IoT buttons (by monitoring network and catching when they do a curl request).
ddeokbokki··on Amazon stops selling Dash buttons
The AWS IoT button is 22GBP, I got 6 dash buttons for 99p each (on Amazon). :(
ddeokbokki··on China bans 23M from buying travel tickets as part of 'social credit' system
All the "solutions" you listed are broken and don't work, it's not because it's different that it's better.

Current system might be flawed but China's is even worse.

ddeokbokki··on Amazon’s press-to-order Dash buttons are officially discontinued
Get as many as you can while you can - they're the cheapest IoT buttons on the market currently
ddeokbokki··on Build your own old-school 3D shooter in a weekend
Thousands of french millenials getting hit by the nostalgia feels as they read through the README.
ddeokbokki··on Reading in the Age of Constant Distraction
How do you learn from a book, genuinely?

Do you sit down and try to read and understand as much as you can? Or do you just read during your downtime?

ddeokbokki··on This person does not exist
Brb, going to train a GAN with all my selfies so it can generate new selfies.
ddeokbokki··on Ocado's burning robotic warehouse
You mean to tell me my ap-south-1 instances are not actually inside Mt. Everest?!
ddeokbokki··on Ask HN: How are you getting through (and back from) burning out?
Getting professional help (namely Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to have a more positive perspective on my every day life.

A bad work/life balance will make your burn out fast but many don't realize bad mental health will lead you there just as fast.

I feel like the term (burning out) is just sugar coating depression because that's more sexy to talk about.

ddeokbokki··on Small World: The Tiny House Trend
This is a dream of mine - you must hear that often, but what did you wish you knew before building your superior place of living? Anything you'd do differently or not do at all?
ddeokbokki··on The Bleak Reality of the Instagram Experience
> we seem to have arrived at a stage […]

I don't think today's "influencers" are any different from yesterday's movie and TV celebs - we just now have better way to enable our vapidity.

Before we'd only have our direct entourage to compare ourselves to - now we have the whole world.

I think this phenomenon has always existed indigenously, similar to trends, it is now at a global scale.

ddeokbokki··on The Bleak Reality of the Instagram Experience
This article really bugs me, the issue is coming from our use of social media rather than installations themselves.

If it wasn't designed just to cash-in on this issue, these could be actual art installations of the likes of Kusama's rather than extravagant photo booths.

ddeokbokki··on Forget everything you know about 3D printing – the ‘replicator’ is here
In the sense that from a 2D representation a 3D object is created, yes, but that's it.
ddeokbokki··on Do they have work/life balance? Investigating potential employers with GitHub
I agree.

Regardless of my productivity during the week, there are times during weekend where I wanted to continue working on a work project just because I genuinely enjoyed it or because there was something small I could do that would save a lot to the project/company and I did not mind at all.

IMO bringing work into your personal life does not necessarily indicate a poor work/life balance, being invested in your work either.

ddeokbokki··on The pros and cons of placebo buttons
Londoner here - I personally don't press the button if it's only me and the road is not busy since the time I would save would be lost over all the people I would make stop just for me.

I've seen many people not press the buttons thinking it's just there as a placebo, it's mostly tourists though as it's common knowledge amongst Londoners that the button signals the traffic operating system that a pedestrian would like to cross.

ddeokbokki··on Deliveroo users are getting defrauded
Deliveroo riders have some of the worst working conditions, it's a grind and people do it because they need the cash.

Going as far as circumvent legal regulations and even pay to be able to do such a job is a good indicator that the person doing it is desperate for income.

Many people believe wealth should be shared, that everyone deserve happiness, and that no one should spend their lives slaving away just to survive, those same people would not try to profit off of someone desperate for income and willing to work hard and would consider what OP is talking about immoral.

In my own experience, UberEats support team is stellar - I have had many many many issues due to couriers or the restaurant (wrong order, order got delivered completely ruined, order was cold, order was missing something, ...) and never once was I left in a bad situation.

I have almost always had a full refund (otherwise just partial for what was wrong/damaged) but what I really LOVED was how transparent they are throughout the process.

They message you when your concerns resulted in a ticket opening, when someone picks up your support ticket, when they are working on a resolution, and then when they found a resolution for your issue.

It's very seamless as well - I was experiencing issues on their web platform, DM'd support on Twitter, received info by email and on the UberEat app and at not time was there inconsistencies.

If it wasn't for the quality of their support team - I would have stopped using UberEats a long time ago.

ddeokbokki··on Canada's New Food Guide
A people's traditional diet does not necessarily correlate to their longevity, there are many other factors one needs to take into account (way of life, access to healthcare, access to food, etc)
ddeokbokki··on A Matchmaker Who Flirts on Dating Apps for You (2017)
> If someone earns so much money that they can pay 700 usd a month for this service, that basically means that they have figured life out and are successful and do not need to change.

No, that only means that they have enough disposable income to afford the service.

> Personality has also always been something the can be influenced by money. There is a reason why women would prefer rich "jerks" to poor nice guys.

The generalisation you make about women is really offensive, furthermore, you can not assume everyone favours income over personality in a partner.

In any case, dating, like a job hunt and many other aspects of our lives, comes down to weighting up your expectations against someone else's, if you're fine with attracting a partner because of your money, good for you.

You may chose to not live that life.

We tend to only see the superficial personalities on social media mostly because they're the most vocal imo.

ddeokbokki··on DeepMind – StarCraft II Demonstration
Pretty sure Insane AI plays better than most bronze-silver-gold league human players.
ddeokbokki··on 'Smartphone zombie' fine cheered on Chinese social media
Your comparison doesn't work at all.

There is nothing inherently wrong with wanting to marry someone you love or consuming marijuana whereas crossing the street while essentially being tunnel visioned on a 6" screen is potentially very dangerous for yourself and, more importantly, others.

ddeokbokki··on ‘A Minefield’: How Scholars Who Don’t Drink Navigate the Conference Social Scene
Context is key, if you work in a re-rehabilitation center, you are not going to organise a nature hike.

Alcohol should not be a key factor for people to network and have fun, especially in professional spaces.
