Ask HN: How do you diversify your income?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11407888As I get older, I'm trying to focus less on absolute financial independence than a sort of income redundancy, where I have enough sources of revenue to sustain my barest expenses in case something goes wrong.My dream: four or five streams, requiring different levels of investment and labor, but generally clocking in under 40 hours and, to the point where I could lose one or face a serious cutback in two, and never be in jeopardy.I know this overlaps with the passive income obsession, so I'm excited to hear HN's thoughts, but I'm concerned less with overall effort than reducing the risk tied to my income coming solely from my job.I'm super interested to hear if any HN'ers have tried to diversify their income outside of tech, maybe through some small-ball physical investments like ATMs or vending machines?background: late 20s, FE dev, small amount of savings, no debtApr 1, 2016 7:38 PM

Ask HN: Moratorium on threads related to the culture wars and identity politicshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10659075The Hacker News guidelines permit "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity".Now, even HN qualifies what isn't suitable for political stories: "Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon." Rest assured, most such stories do not satisfy this criterion, or wear off their novelty all too quickly.Be it the Millennials whose whining will immanentize the eschaton, the white heterosexual males and their original sin of mercantilism and colonialism, the feminists and Cultural Marxists who want to usurp Western values (whatever they are this month)... it is all grinding.The chief complaint, of course, is that threads on this subject are devoid of any value pertaining to debate. They instead serve as hubs for signaling normative dispositions. The inevitable result of such vacuous posturing is attrition. Discussions grow ever more primordial, threads on the subject increase and these elements spill over to other threadsDec 1, 2015 9:48 PM

Ask HN: How good are the local startup scenes in Lisbon and Sofia?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10638815I'm a solo founder and my startup is beginning to get some momentum. To capitalise on this I've decided it's time to move ops out of my spare bedroom and in to a more dynamic environment. Main goal for moving: increase my chances of bumping in to like minded people and finding a co-founder / first hire.I've narrowed the choice down to Lisbon or Sofia (having started with London, Paris, Barcelona, Sofia and Lisbon) and would love to hear the experiences of any HNers who have spent time in either city - especially if it was while bootstrapping your own startup (or working for someone else's)!Things I'd love to know: quality, size and diversity of local talent; quality of local accelerators and investors; how easy/hard it is to find (good) people that want to take a risk and work for an early stage startup; friendliness of the local startup scene.My pros for Sofia:- Betahaus co-working space- Fantastic cost of living (~30% cheaper than Lisbon - which itself is already cheap)- Lovely city,Nov 27, 2015 9:01 PM

Ask HN: Why does some music labels hide their albums on Allmusic.com?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10412420Now and then when I visit http://allmusic.com and click an album I get an error page saying "Due to label restrictions, we are no longer permitted to display this information on AllMusic."I find this very strange, why on earth would a label restrict information about an album they have?So I asked Allmusic that question and got this response from Zac Johnson, Senior Product Manager: "If I felt as though I was comfortable going into the intricacies of the deals that are in place between a specific worldwide distributor and our data provider, I would detail it further, but the truth is that it's an area that I don't want to poke further."Example album: "The Definition" by Jon Bellion. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jon-bellion-mn0003006966/discography (click the album link to see the error message)To see the response from Allmusic, go here: https://getsatisfaction.com/allmedianetwork/topics/some-albums-are-unreachableCan HN shed some light on what's going on?Oct 19, 2015 12:27 PM

Ask HN: Staying Happyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10104051I really remember it, back to the time when i was in college, i have so much tasks. I needed to attend campus club. Lots of assignment. But the fact i was happy still surprises me.It has been ~1.5 years since i graduated from my college and got to work as a software engineer. I got decent job with decent salary (at least pretty good in my area). The workplace itself considered as a "fun" environment: sleeping pod, ping pong table, coffee machine and no cubicles. Also, workload is lighter than class assignments. But it seems like i am not happy anymore -- i don't know why. (Btw, yes, i do love coding. I do some of my pet projects in weekend)I tried to do so much things (to try) making myself happier: Cycling around the city, playing some game with friends; but none of them seems to be working.After all, i want to create happiness, not to "do something" or "buy something" to make myself happy. I know happiness is intrinsic and subjective. Two persons doing a same thing may perceive that Aug 22, 2015 10:41 PM
