nikmobi··on Pokémon Go Is Teaching Americans the Metric System
someone at work tried to hatch their kids eggs during the bike rides to work and said biking was too fast for it to work...
nikmobi··on Could Alzheimer’s Stem from Infections?
just thinking out loud here, but since it seems that people with the disease can have a "break through", does that suggest that it's potentially reversible?
nikmobi··on Ask HN: What was the url to the site with the company icons?
I've never seen the fontfamous one, looks great. I thought OP was referring to https://logo.clearbit.com.

E.g. https://logo.clearbit.com/ycombinator.com

nikmobi··on My dad hid his depression. I won’t hide mine
I think for a lot of people it's trial and error. When I was researching, I went through a list of local therapists, reading their descriptions and website, and eventually narrowed the list down to 3-4. I then set up a session with all of them, and then made my decision. Worked for me.
nikmobi··on How Silicon Valley is dealing with mental illness
> Did you know that psychologists know how to cure insomnia in a single session?

Can you please elaborate more on this point? :)

nikmobi··on The Akrasia Effect: Why We Don’t Follow Through on What We Set Out to Do
This. As long as there are still "unknowns", or things that I still need to learn/figure out, I'm good to go. But once I hit that 90-95% mark where the problems are solved and it's just grunt work, I bail out. My last project I was able to overcome this, so hoping it becomes the new norm for me.
nikmobi··on Mexico supreme court rules ban on marijuana use unconstitutional
I was watching a documentary and I believe I saw that 60% of Cartel income is from marijauna. Sorry I don't have a source.
nikmobi··on Africa braced for snakebite crisis
> We were not even sure if it was a venomous snake at this point. We tried calling 911 and could not get through

I'm surprised this doesn't stick out to more people, but I had the same experience in SF. I called 911, and hung up after what seemed like being on hold for 7 minutes.

nikmobi··on Ghost: $411k Annual Revenue with a team of 6
whoa. why are we able to see these stats?
nikmobi··on I made a cell phone [video]
Agreed, my neighbors probably hate me right now from the audio.

On a serious note, though, I hope a write up with more details pops up.

nikmobi··on Mass FTP Crawling
What device are you viewing on? I'd say "impossible to read" is a pretty wild exaggeration. Looks fine to me.
nikmobi··on Google Shares Spike 6% After ‘Alphabet’ Restructuring
I don't know much about stocks. Why is after hours different?
nikmobi··on Tutor who helped students cheat by keylogging teachers gets 1 year in prison
I can't tell if you're being serious. A year in prison for changing some grades seems quite excessive. Five years of probation (that went along with the jail sentence) is plenty, I would think.
nikmobi··on Ask/Show HN: embedded projects
fair enough, I have a blog post written up but haven't added it to the new blog. I'll get this done and provide the link. Thanks for the feedback!
nikmobi··on Ask/Show HN: embedded projects
Here it is: https://github.com/nikharris0/avremote

it's a bit messy and doesn't properly decode the RF signal, but it gets the job done :)

nikmobi··on Bokken – Open-Source Reverse Code Engineering
if you're willing to do it I'd love that! I should probably familiarize myself with creating formulas at some point, though.
nikmobi··on Bokken – Open-Source Reverse Code Engineering
I was really looking forward to trying this, until I read that the homebrew installation is broken and the manual installation requires installing a handful of dependencies.
nikmobi··on Ask HN: I am 30+ and bored with life and the software industry, what do I do?
I strongly second this. I started out doing software development for desktop, user-mode Windows specifically, and diving in deeper (embedded) and into true CS has only made me more excited for software.
nikmobi··on A Neural Network in 11 Lines of Python
very nice, thank you!
