I'm a consulting hypnotist (hypnotherapist), albeit with a strong technical side (e.g., I've trained my employees to use desktop Linux for remote work).
I'm essentially in the business of thinking clearly about client problems and communicating that thinking as effectively as possible, which means that I gravitate toward communities that take pride in the same. Although this is a technically oriented forum, I find many of the discussions here to be intelligent and thought-provoking, especially when they have to do with philosophy, psychology, sociology, economics or business -- those topics that we all must be concerned with, whether we work in tech or not.
The Unihertz Titan could be described as a spiritual successor to the BlackBerry Passport: similar form factor, rugged build quality and long battery life, but runs Android 10. I'm typing on one right now.
T.S. Eliot. "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" perfectly captures the essence of a middle-aged man's insecurities, and Eliot wrote it when he was 23.
I recently reread Christopher Alexander's foreword to "Patterns of Software" and remembered his mention of this poem. He asks, with something that could be called optimism:
"Can you write a program which overcomes the gulf between the technical culture of our civilization, and which inserts itself into our human life as deeply as Eliot's poems of the wasteland or Virginia Woolf's The Waves?"
Eliot is amazing; folks who love his work do themselves a disservice, however, if they aren't also reading Ezra Pound ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Pound ) for a very different perspective on most of the same inspirations that made Eliot's early work so powerful.
The Blackberry Hub (i.e., the unified inbox) is one of two reasons I'm still using a Blackberry (the other reason, of course, is the physical keyboard).
Back in 2011, I mined enough BTC on my $1000 mining rig to eventually make a 5x profit, but there's no way I'd be able to make a profit today at the current difficulty/prices.
This is a Show HN. Over my life, I've often thought, "I wish I could find an xyz. Surely somebody on the Internet knows where I could find one. I'll even pay them to find it for me!" So I created a website to enable that kind of search.
We do have audio samples (they're halfway down the sidebar on each product page) and we offered a discount way back in January when we launched.
If you're interested in trying it out but the price is holding you back, here's what I can do for a fellow HN user:
First, complete an order all the way to the PayPal page, but don't pay. Then e-mail me at luke@hypnotizr.com with the order ID that PayPal shows you. I will make your order and send it to you, and afterward, you can PayPal me any amount of money that you think is fair (I'll count it as market feedback).
