While I definitely recognize there’s a cycle, I also can’t but feel that old media is regurgitated because the state of what we are creating now. I don’t think we’ll be doing the same 20-30 years now with Marvel movies.
What are they going to change?
I don't know why you've come to that conclusion? I do the exact opposite. I got to malls to buy something specific, but there's no reason to spend anymore time there than necessary. City centres are the opposite.
5 to 15 minutes? What if you want to have lunch?
Why?
A question for all those in favour of street parking: If parking right in front of the store is so vital for business, why don't they do it in shopping malls? Why do you have to park your car somewhere else and then…
What has worked for me: 1. Find out why you are overweight. For me it was comfort eating junk food and large meals. 2. Start working on what’s causing the first step. I very gradually changed my approach to eating,…
Damn. RIP, lots of laughs a long time ago.

Finn here. We don't have an Apple store, but I've been to a few in NYC. Just wondering around and looking all the staff run around and people waiting gives me anxiety. If I buy an Apple product, I either order it with…
Really interesting read on how fonts render on different systems. However a huge reason why I went from Win to macOS are the incredibly frustrating scaling issues. At work I gave up and just set my laptop display to…
It's 2:40 AM, I open Hacker News because I couldn't sleep and notice this is on top of the page. I have no words. I didn't really know Alex from his work at Automattic, I knew him as the guy who ran the fan website for…
I'm curious, what made you write this comment? What's with the negativity?
I've been there. In my idealistic grumpy old man world, I'd rather have the main area silent and if you want to have a chat, just book a room :)
In the past few years I've been to public libraries in Espoo, Helsinki and Vantaa. They all have the same modern vibe as Oodi (although less glamorous buildings maybe). >If you need to study the university library is…

I don’t think it’s accurate to call Oodi a library. It’s more of a communal space for citizens and a sort of a playground/hangout for kids. With some books. Maybe I’m a cranky old man but I don’t really enjoy these kind…
Ditto. I instantly thought of a less successful and intelligent version of Gilfoyle from Silicon Valley.
What would be a concrete example of utilizing mindfulness?
I find it depressing that (despite this post) there really are only two viable operating systems for 99% of the user base that needs ease of use and commercial software. Same in mobile devices. And there is absolutely…
I’m in Finland. I get about 2-3 telemarketing calls a month which I quickly end and add the number as a spam contact.
To me it’s more like a device which can also make calls with an app.
