What is it with all these ASK YC lifestyle questions? Are we trying to define success in terms of things like sleep/watches tv?

Ah most hackers get 6 hours of sleep! I should too then my startup will succeed.

Sorry, but seriously... A few are kind of interesting, but how many more of these questions are to come?



When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine. - Picasso

These days I was asking myself about how to clean my LCD screen and was hesitant if that was 'serious' enough to ask here. I was very relieved when I found someone else did.

You admit a few of these mundane questions are 'kind of interesting'. I guess all of them are interesting to some of us.

I see no specific problem with this. I'd let the usual voting mechanism take care of it.


It just reminds me of the endless "Vote up if.." that plagues Reddit.


productivity is important to any startup. since a startup is such a diff environment, it's nice to know how other ppl do it. lifestyle is as important as cool hacks, biz news, or debates about ARC.


It's fun to learn about the other people on the site. The more you get to know someone, the more context and more valuable each one of their comments is. It's like hearing from a friend rather than a URL.
