on: Making my own wedding rings
this is what i did! it cost me less than 100 bucks in supplies and just under 2k in various gold (14k-18k) i bought on ebay. i mixed in enough 24k to bring it up to 42 grams of 18k. i cast two sets of rings (11g + 2g) and had some leftover gold to recast into grains to share with our parents and future children.

on: YouTube to remove content that alleges widespread election fraud
So who decides what is true/accurate? Is this action just related to the current election or will this extend to other "fake news" and elections in other countries? Covid news comes to mind.

reviewing profiles one a time allowed them to jam more ads down your throat. it ruined the experience and made it way more time consuming to use their app

on: Notes on My Colon Cancer
The prep juice tastes so nasty but you are right about feeling refreshed. After the colonoscopy I had intense cravings for a cheeseburger and milkshake, but let me tell you that was a mistake! It gave me the worst acid reflux. Keep in mind your insides are virgin again after the prep juice. It causes you to shed the lining of your stomach, I'll be smarter next time.

on: Judge Orders Twitter to Unmask FBI Impersonator Who Set Off Seth Rich Conspiracy
Even if zero hedge has an extreme right bias, does that mean everything they report is fake news? Was seth rich really shot twice in the back and not robbed despite the official story saying he's a robbery victim? He certainly had access to the DNC emails and was a devote bernie sanders supporter. It's a low barrier to connect those dots and it becomes even more suspicious when left wing media and "fact checking" websites jump to calling it a conspiracy theory. It seems a lot more likely than the russian story which is falling apart every day with official memos saying hillary pushed the russian narrative to distract from her email server. I'd love to believe we live in a fair and just society, but maybe we dont.

on: Ask HN: What did you do to improve your company?
I organized a cookie swap. There are dozens of process improvements and internal efforts that I've had success with but the cookie swap is my favorite story. Without some culture, work is work.

on: Mindfulness and meditation can worsen depression and anxiety
When i exercise or try to meditate i just wind up thinking about things i need to do, and i typically abandon my workout to go do it. It can be as simple as picking up a dirty sock or putting away a coffee cup.

on: Developer won’t get hit by a bus, they’ll get hired by Netflix
ive worked for 2 fortune 50s and in both cases i had lots of autonomy and ownership of the product and process.. however other teams in the same org were clearly being burned out and worked to the bone by their bosses. its a management thing. smaller companies have fewer managers so your odds of working under a bad one go up.
