news.ycombinator.com Michael Savage 2025-09-12 09:02:07

It has become a feature of modern life – millions of phones simultaneously buzz or sound the alarm as users are notified of breaking news deemed too important to miss. Now evidence is mounting that the prevalence of news alerts is giving rise to “alert fatigue”, with some mobile phone users peppered with as many as 50 notifications a day. The rise of news aggregators such as Apple News and Google on mobile devices means some users can receive more than one alert about the same story. Analysis

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-12 08:26:49

M AURA RYAN , a speech therapist in New York City, was dreading the introduction of congestion pricing. To see her patients in Queens and Manhattan she sometimes drives across the East River a couple of times a day. The idea of paying a $9 toll each day infuriated her. Yet since the policy was actually implemented, she has changed her mind. A journey which used to take an hour or more can now be as quick as 15 minutes. “Well, this is very nice,” she admits thinking. Ms Ryan is not alone. Polls s

Cursed New Dating App Matches You Based on the Most Deranged Thing We Can Imagine

A newly-developed dating app matches potential lovers based on their entire internet browsing histories — and we're not quite sure how we feel about it.
