At that price point you should check out Mila which is an air purifier that adjusts based on air quality. I own three - highly recommended!
mrks_ | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Any tips on overcoming fear of heights?
How I overcame my fear of heights: indoor bouldering.
You can pace yourself with respect to the height you’re comfortable experiencing. It forces you to learn to fall safely. Most importantly, it progressively associates a positive outcome (route completion) with height.

At the beginning of the day, I pull tasks from Notion (https://www.notion.so/). I use a dot grid notebook (this one is good and cheap http://a.co/fQUVPpF) for general notes and design. At the end of the day I review and put the important stuff back into Notion.
mrks_ | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Favorite note-taking software?

IntelliJ IDEA/PyCharm - Java, or other large or complex projects
mrks_ | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you subscribe to print magazines anymore?
I only subscribe to print magazines when it's literature (The Paris Review). News/science/technology is easier to filter and read through online, in my opinion.
