opsgal··on How Yevgeny Zamyatin shaped dystopian fiction
"We" is amazing. Have read it several times because there is so much to the text. Nothing is accidental, even down to the numbers he picks for the characters (many are related through mathematical formulas). I love gifting copies.

Natasha Randall's is the best I've found. She's thoughtful in how she approaches grey areas of translation.
opsgal··on You Should Write a User Guide
OP here - I actually agree with this sentiment to some extent . There's a thin line between "here's a shortcut to all the things you might learn about me over time anyway" and "I think my preferences are more important than yours."

Ultimately the exercise was helpful for me because of what I learned about myself and not because of what others could learn about me.

Thanks for fixing! Now seeing the same issue on the organization page, can't click the button under the drop down.

I'm pumped to try it out, but the login flow didn't work for me. When I clicked either "Sign up" or "Login" from the respective pages, the button didn't do anything. The password reset button did work, though. On iOS, Firefox.

Love! I've been struggling with a way for my virtual assistant to know what needs to be ordered, and the manual workarounds I've thought of don't save much time. Thanks for making this!

opsgal··on Ask HN: What interesting problems are you working on?
Still thinking pretty loosely about the trust space, but a few conclusions on my end: LinkedIn is frustrating because people connect even though they don't know each other very well. I spend a lot of time meeting up with strangers (Craigslist, meetups, dating) and generally hoping that the world is good (though it pretty much always turns out to be). Phone number seems to be something that people only exchange when they have a fairly meaningful interaction - could that be used as a way to show you know someone/vouch for them? I feel like there's something in that space that would resonate with a lot of people.
