gits1225··on Ask HN: How to make living easier for old parents?
I'm beginning to address these questions as I'm noticing my parents becoming old. Both of them are able to take care of themselves at present and I'm asking around to understand if there are things I can be prepared for.

gits1225··on Ask HN: How do you use HN?
I browse HN using my page: http://hn.abyjames.com/ that keeps track of threads like this that appear on https://news.ycombinator.com/active so that I don't have to frequently keep checking what's happening.

Email is the first step. I'll have to find another way if that doesn't work :D

OT: I checked your profile but couldn't find an email to contact you. It'd be cool if I can shoot an email once in a while to brainstorm.

> You have the same incentive to prioritize ads over recommendations.

No.

> If I trust you to keep ads clearly separated, I also trust you to keep recommendations undiluted.

True. I am the one curator at the moment. I'll open this so that others can curate / recommend. I require that dilution of intention doesn't happen then. DNA is important.

Ads don't suck. Bad ads suck. I love good ads.

I used to wait for ads to appear on my Garena client back in the days when I played DOTA because they were so cool (and useful).

If I know my audience, I don't have to compromise privacy to show useful ads clean and neat either (watertight curation is applied here as well).

Good ads are relevant.

The iron rule of nature is: You get what you reward for. If you want ants to come, you put sugar on the floor — Charlie Munger

I don't want to reward the wrong type of behavior.
