Article and interspersed visuals were a pleasant learning experience. I'm not caught up on mathematics as much as I'd like to be..

I'd love to have spent more on Alexa, but having trust in the quality and pricing was critical to me so I stopped ordering after they messed it up a few times. I now verify my purchases on the website to ensure the bulk facial tissues (or whatever) are actually the cheapest and most legitimate listing for the brand I want.

Our company was acquired by Amazon in 2017 to help power Alexa's general knowledge / informational answers, and that's pretty much what we did. I only stayed for 15 months after acquisition though.

Not sure how much or if this had influence from Guava at all, but I wanted to share the link since we've been around about 3 years and Guava is both free to track and seemingly a superset, except for explicit streak tracking: guavahealth.com

Streak tracking seemed more of a vanity non-health-related aspect so we've left it out so far.

Computing statistical insights based on arbitrary pairings of lifestyle habits is a big feature for many people

Despite a minor grievance about not making HN mobile friendly sooner, I have extreme respect for long lasting high quality things, and this is one of them.

Happy new year hacker news

I like this. Indeed the fundamental crux of all human discourse: politics, argument, and of course content moderation.

It's so disheartening to see news like this. I just recently switched to Spotify to try it as my primary music service for the first time, and it has such a fundamental flaw with multiple devices not being supported that it feels like a prank. My family using my home devices interrupts my laptop music and they won't even allow me to pay to fix it, I would need to create a whole new account that doesn't have all my saved settings. My friend who has used spotify a long time said he made a new account in his dog's name to get around this. Really??? On top of that, the radio is still only built for basic short term listeners because it only plays the top 50 songs over and over, even in niche genres like symphonic power metal (as opposed to, say, electronic music as a whole). It's disheartening because our world economy somehow perpetuates so much of the wrong things that are trivial to fix if one genuinely asks "is this a good experience?"

Ah yes. I phrase this as wanting to duplicate myself many times over. Much to do, little time.

I'm attempting to put a dent into increasing our timelines (longevity) with my current project, Guava. The other way to get more time is to experience more in the same time, and for this we need improved brains and interfaces. I'll be ambitious and put my effort into these things because it will allow me to do more if successful.

Somewhat surprising and very nice to see metal-archives posted here. It seems rare these days to see continual high quality from a single website, but metal-archives has just been solid good for a real long time. Many things have been tainted or destroyed with the maturity of internet business.

More decades, let's go!
