All of them are about how awesome life is after quitting. This one is not.

What if it was required to encrypt the message? Do you think the number of spam would go down?

I like you. Most of the people criticizing him didn’t bother to watch his lectures or read the book and still act like they know him.

Ended in psychiatric ward because it was “not a big deal”.

Ask HN: How did you expand your English vocabulary?

dev_256 — Thu, 12 Apr 2018 09:07:56 +0000

English not being my primary language I often have problems naming things when coding. I read books and use the dictionary, but are there any other ways to expand my English vocabulary?

I would love to be able to do a "reverse dictionary search", something like asking a friend "what's the word for ...".

By ads free I meant their core business would be about not tracking you and only providing services of showing you content your friends publish.

Like you said it depends on what kinds of guarantees they'd give around use of data. How guarantees can you give?

Or 10 people checked psychiatrist’s facebook profile, facebook found common interest, saw that none of these people are fb friends and suggested to become friends, because hey, you all have something in common, you are all interested in this person.
