heyheyhey··on How we do Vue: one year later (2017)
Might wanna add a [2017] tag in the title.
heyheyhey··on New iPad Air and iPad Mini
Mi Pad 4 is an option.
heyheyhey··on Amazon Atlas: The “Highly Confidential” locations of Amazon's data centers
I'm 31 and pretty much all my friends near my age have watched Seinfeld as some point.

The ones who would get that "Vandalay" reference? Probably <5% of them.

heyheyhey··on Why is flaking so widespread in San Francisco?
I live in Portland and I've heard the whole "this city is colder/flakier than other cities" bit.
heyheyhey··on How to Recover from Romantic Heartbreak?
> to make you realize it wasn't all chocolates and roses.

Agreed. I always tell myself this whenever I get pangs of nostalgia.

heyheyhey··on AMC unveils answer to MoviePass
> Guests can also reserve tickets in advance.

This is a big plus over MoviePass.

At my local theater, all the good seats are sold out days in advance so MoviePass is useless until a week after the movie's launch.

heyheyhey··on React Native at Airbnb
How's FB's RN team reacted to Airbnb's decision to move away from RN?
heyheyhey··on Prediction of the FIFA World Cup 2018 – A random forest approach
Club salaries.
heyheyhey··on Facebook employee fired over bragging about access to user information
His wrongdoing is using his access to find information on his Tinder date, not on hackers, which his job is supposedly for.
heyheyhey··on People Are Turning Their Instagram Accounts into Bots
It's all about advertising and influence. Having a higher # of followers makes you look more attractive/popular. It's like the "halo effect".

It's common to see fitness coaches and C-List celebrities to have lots of followers but very few likes/comments, which is a common sign of the user buying followers.

heyheyhey··on Facebook Employees Are Quitting or Switching Departments Over Ethical Concerns
That's a bit much, don't you think? This reminds me of that baseball coach who would refuse anybody from Colorado simply because marijuana is legal there.
heyheyhey··on I'm on the FCC. Please stop us from killing net neutrality
So is Ajit Pai her superior? Must be an interesting workplace with her being so vocally against it.
heyheyhey··on United States Census Bureau APIs

heyheyhey··on Training exercise boosts brain power, Johns Hopkins researchers say
Anyone have tricks to boost their memory?

Lately, I've felt my memory has been a little off. I feel like I'm not remembering things I would normally easily remember.

Like the other day, I was trying to remember what they speak in Iran (Farsi) or who the head coach of the Boston Celtics or what was the name of the Scorsese movie with Wahlberg/Damon/Nicholson. These are all subjects I'm very familiar with so it bothered me that I couldn't remember the answers immediately.

heyheyhey··on Evidence That Online Dating Is Changing Society
Hardest reality with online dating is realizing the competition (at least for a 30 year old like myself).

When I was in high school, I'm only competing with like 2 or 3 guys for 1 girl. In college, that increases to probably like 5-10. With online dating? Feels like 50-100.

heyheyhey··on AIM will shut down after 20 years
AOL/AIM Buddy Info were the original social media profiles for my generation.

So much time wasted right-clicking on a user name and going to "Show Info"...

heyheyhey··on Paul S. Otellini has died
I remember Paul said his biggest regret was not working with Apple on the iPhone.

I wonder how different Intel would be today if that occurred.

heyheyhey··on iPhone X
Agreed. If it's fast enough to unlock by the time my face is facing the iPhone, then I'm not losing any productivity there.

e: But watching the keynote, it's definitely doesn't seem that fast...

heyheyhey··on Ravens OL John Urschel, 26, retires abruptly, two days after CTE study
It's a start but USSoccer limits heading up to age 13:http://www.ussoccer.com/about/recognize-to-recover/concussio...

"Eliminating heading for children 10 and under

Limiting the amount of heading in practice for children between the ages of 11 and 13"

heyheyhey··on Ask HN: What tools do you use to manage your life?
For grocery shopping, I use Google Keep and constantly update the list of groceries the next time I go grocery shopping, which is usually 1-2 times a week.

I usually add items on the desktop version and then remove them on the mobile version when I'm at the store.

heyheyhey··on Uber rolls out in-app tipping
I'd doubt they can see if you didn't tip before you rated them. That would be incredibly stupid.

If you're a frequent customer of a certain driver and consistently don't tip then I can see some problems there.

heyheyhey··on David Bonderman Resigns from Uber Board
Listening to the audio, he's saying it in jest and Huffington laughs along (albeit nervously since it wasn't a funny joke). It's just reinforcing a stereotype that women tend to talk a lot.
heyheyhey··on Wal-Mart will pay employees to deliver packages on their way home
> This again seems pointless to say. Of course it'll depend on how it works out in practice. That's true of every action by every company. So why are so many people complaining about this?

Agreed.

At any job I've worked at, doing the bare minimum for awhile will probably get you fired; if you want to stand out or get a promotion, you're expected to do more than you're asked.

heyheyhey··on StarCraft: Remastered to be released Summer 2017
Gameplay is exactly like SC1 so no to both those questions.
heyheyhey··on H&R Block and Intuit Are Lobbying Against Making Tax Filling Free and Easy
> I have not used CreditKarma's tax product, but I've heard folks say that it calculates some things incorrectly.

Can anyone else attest to this? I am going to start doing my taxes soon (for the first time in my life) and CreditKarma seems like a good solution for me.

heyheyhey··on React Native at Instagram
i'm on iOS but today's IG update just got rid of this problem. been suffering this problem for the past week or so.
heyheyhey··on Guided meditation for beginners
"The guided meditations from QuietKit offers three main benefits to anyone who uses them:

Decreased stress and anxiety

Increased focus

Increased mindfulness (the ability to be aware of what's occurring at any given moment, but being able to choose how to act, as opposed to just reacting)"

Are those three benefits purely anecdotal?

heyheyhey··on How Your Race Affects the Messages You Get (2009)
I'm curious how different this would be in 2016 as online dating is currently much more popular than it was in 2009.
heyheyhey··on iPhone 7
Plugging an iPhone 8 into my car was my biggest worry but it looks like some type of BT adapter (that I never knew existed until today) will work just fine for me.
heyheyhey··on Millennial men with different incomes
> Does anyone else feel extremely guilty about this?

Not really. I feel like I've put in the time and effort (along with a little luck) to get to where I am in life.

Unfortunately, life is unfair. While it was nice having parents who supported me, I feel like it's just an advantage in life I was fortunate to have. On the contrary, I'm a short, unattractive, non-white male living in a city that's 90% white; there isn't much I can do in that regards. That's just life.
