So maybe solution is in changing optics for such events - Demo Days are primary for PR stage play helping humanizing startups and their creators and not for helping entrepreneurs raise money and meet investors?
ptrptr··on How I Kicked My Smartphone Addiction, and Never Looked Back
What helped me personally was buying phone with smaller screen - iPhone SE have all the features of bigger phone I've might ever need but due to 4 inch screen I tend to use it as little as possible. For me it's more private communication device than internet machine - that what phone was suppose to be.
ptrptr··on Starting a real business

ptrptr··on AMD Prepares 32-Core Naples CPUs for 1P and 2P Servers: Coming in Q2
Gaming? More like consumer market, Ryzen 7 is definitely not suited for gamers, advertising it as such was IMO mistake. Nevertheless Naples can be big innovation in server segment.

Also what with ECC? Ryzen can support it or not?

Slack is down, productivity goes up... after using it for a while I find it does communications within a team well but does almost nothing to increase collaboration, so I guess slack is in area which apps like Discord will disrupt.
ptrptr··on Show HN: NoFile.io – A simple file storage site with lots of perks

It's just too easy to jump on Uber hate bandwagon but I seriously hope their bubble will just burst in 2017, then the whole "economy of sharing" will take a hit and similiar services will start show some maturity. Contract of employment would be a good start.
ptrptr··on Ask HN: How would you turn Twitter around?
As much as i'm not a fan of Anil Dash his synapis of this problem is IMO correct https://medium.com/startup-grind/a-billion-dollar-gift-for-t...
