> When you know you’re going to be downvoted regardless of what you post, it’s easy for your writing to take on a bitter and cynical tone. That said, most of my comments aren’t even like that and still get inexplicable downvotes.

I believe that you hit the nail on the head there. If your reaction to feedback from your peers is to turn bitter you are creating a vicious circle.

When I get a downvote, I analyze my comment and try to detect the mistake or social faux pas I commited. For example, most *chan or Reddit lingo is frowned upon so I avoid them.

This is an account I created 4 months ago because my previous account was named after a domain I no longer own. I am already at 811 karma. My previous account, created in 2013, had 5930 karma with long periods of inactivity. Karma is meaningless if you do not use it as a metric to detect how your peers perceive you. It's points without a scoreboard and no one is keeping track.

This does not mean I bend backward and follow the opinions of others. I do stand by my comments that are downvoted and would repeat them verbatim if the same conversation arise. But that's an exception and it's usually about controversial topics.

Remember that the words you write are going to be read by someone (or what's the point?). So make sure you are either helpful to other users or that you bring the discussion forward. Otherwise you are simply wasting someone's time and they will quickly click on the downward triangle.

This is not an attack, I am genuinely trying to help you get out of that catch-22.

"Snapchat"-like, in the workplace.

I don't know, it is quite easy to search a well indexed chat for keywords in order to find important information.

A death on one side does not erase a death on the other side. This is not a game.

Go to your HN profile and turn on "showdead". This is how the entire internet would now look like.

> I couldn't find anything stronger than "german doctors say" which means nothing.

That's all there is to it.

Oh, you were guessing. I thought there was a new rule against high volume content sharing and as a page manager that got me scared because it would have flown over my head without me noticing.

We know that having a dedicated sleeping space contributes to the quality of sleep, but there are no studies on the size and boundaries required to create that space.

Using the bed as a workspace means you're bringing your work with you to bed. You completely erase any possibility of separation between workspace and sleep space.

With only one bedroom available, your only way to assign a dedicated sleeping space is to use your bed to sleep and a desk to work.

Throwing in some anecdotal opinion, I live in a studio style open apartment and have no issue sleeping well in my bed even if I can see my workspace. I however had issues sleeping back when I lived in a smaller apartment and used the bed as my main computer space.

Is it objectively better or worst? There's no study backing either theories. However, I believe that even working on a small desk next to your bed would be better than working directly from the bed. Otherwise you'd be effectively training yourself to think about work while lying down in the comfort of your sleeping area, instead of training yourself to fall asleep and relax.

> The quantity that they are posting now breaks a new FB policy

Could you tell me more about that? What new policy?
