maremmano··on Ask HN: How deep you go in reading HN news?
The well? very interesting. I heard about it while BBSing in the 80s. I was too young in the punch cards era, but I had a chance to see 8 inch floppy working in my school and used the 5.25 floppy a lot. Back to HN my behavior seems to be more compulsive than yours (unfortunately) and I am probably much more influenced by current rhythms. Thanks for your contribution which offers interesting food for thought.
maremmano··on Ask HN: How deep you go in reading HN news?
Thank you for sharing. Very interesting.
maremmano··on Ask HN: How deep you go in reading HN news?
Yes. I meant: 1) HN -> news.ycombinator.com (This is the website. Please notice the "news." third level domain name that carefully target the topic)

2) News -> Daily submitted links

I asked for: "news from hackernews" reading habits.

I will be happy to explain more. Sorry for my bad english I'm Italian.

maremmano··on Ask HN: How deep you go in reading HN news?
Thanks for sharing. Many people seem to be more interested in the comments than the original information itself. this is not my case even if I've fond exceptional information in the comment section sometimes better than the original link.
maremmano··on Ask HN: How deep you go in reading HN news?
I usually quickly read links and comments on topics that interest me less while I read more in-depth links and comments on topics that interest me.

However, I have noticed that often, comments to links that are not very interesting (for me) begin to follow a different and tortuous path that often makes the comments section unexpectedly interesting even for less interesting topics.

maremmano··on Show HN: After 10 years my side project has hit $8k/mo in revenue
Thank you so much for sharing. I've noticed you have four membership levels. I think it might be very interesting for many of us to know what percentage the various types of subscriptions contribute to the total of 8k / mrr. I'm very curious about pricing and pricing strategies. I wish you the best of luck in 2021
maremmano··on Gmail Is Down
Calendar not working (central Italy). Also Youtube is not working. Gmail is working at the moment.
maremmano··on Synology vs. Nextcloud – Which Is Better for a Home Server?
I think a proper comparison needs to be made between Synology and one of the following:

FreeNAS - https://www.freenas.org/

Unraid - https://unraid.net/

OpenMediaVault - https://www.openmediavault.org/

You also have: https://xpenology.org/

maremmano··on Tell HN: Never search for domains on Godaddy.com
I use domainr.com often and never had this problem. Just in case you need a nice alternative.
maremmano··on Ask HN: What did you do to improve your company?
I recently read this book and found it very interesting and useful. I think it might be for you.

The book is: High Output Management by Andrew Grove.

It is a dated book but many of the procedures described are still valid today (obviously using real digital tools).

I highly recommend you to read it. Improving a company often means improving the way people in the company work and interact while also increasing the quality of life of these people.

I think many of the practices described in this book are about these very things.

Good luck improving your business and sorry for my English (I'm Italian).

maremmano··on Ask HN: I implemented the life I designed: perfect but I feel lost. What now?
There is a planet to save. I think you have a lot of work ahead of you.
maremmano··on ERP-Application in Python, PyQt5 and PostgreSQL
Favourite comment ever. Thank you giving back to the world.
maremmano··on Something about the corona virus statistics doesn't add up in the Indian context
I read that the gestation period can be longer than 14 days (up to 28 days if I remember correctly). In addition, a good majority of these cases are asymptomatic or with very mild symptoms. This may explain a much higher spread than assumed by the numbers. It can also explain that a large number of cases, this time symptomatic, are highlighted after so long. Consider that the population in India is much younger than ours (I'm Italian)* and therefore this has allowed the virus to go unnoticed for a longer time. This is my guess obviously.

maremmano··on Ask HN: Great fiction books that have had a positive impact on your life?
In my opinion, even if it was invented in some parts, this does not detract from the great power of this book. Apart from this, I have read that some events have been invented and, it is said, but it is not proven, that some events have not happened to the protagonist but to his fellow prisoners. Even if it were true I would still suggest reading this great adventure.
maremmano··on Ask HN: Great fiction books that have had a positive impact on your life?
I think it is not possible to compare. The book is an epic experience and a teaching (that also takes time). The film is a good film. I saw it after reading the book. The effect is the same as reading Mario Puzo and after seeing the movie The Godfather (great movie but the book is another story)
maremmano··on Ask HN: Great fiction books that have had a positive impact on your life?
Hai wait. Did I mention that it is an autobiography?
maremmano··on Ask HN: Great fiction books that have had a positive impact on your life?
Hands down: Papillon by Henri Charrière. If you think you are going through a difficult period. If you don't know what resilience means. If you really want to change the way you see life. Read this book. Really.
maremmano··on Hydroxychloroquine working well against Covid-19
What about this?

maremmano··on Italy is extending its coronavirus quarantine measures to the entire country
What surprises me is the number of deaths in relation to the number of infections. Even higher than Iran where I would expect less effective patient management than in northern Italy. What is your opinion on this?
maremmano··on Complete Corona lock down of Milano and greater areas in “red zone”
Very easy to say. Very difficult to implement. Save human life without destroying (an already bad) economy in between. Especially in Italy a country full of strong opinions.
