I took St. John's Wort until my wife asked me stop since my personality was adversely altered to the point of being an a-hole. I wasn't able to discern the change. With that said, it's a good idea to have a third-party evaluating for possible side-effects. St. John's Wort is powerful.
I know this is probably an obvious advice here on HN, but one of the things that I feel has given me sense of purpose (and in turn motivation thanks to that) was starting my own company.

Now, of course that might not be suitable for you right now for whatever reason, but it doesn't need to be a company for the suggestion to be valid; how about just putting yourself a challenge of making a game that's polished enough that you can share it here on HN for example, or to reach a certain number of downloads/users?

I believe that if you are ready to put on such big artificial challenge as you put it as getting into MIT/Stanford, then doing a baby-step shouldn't be that hard right? So why not start there and increase your motivation step by step?

My point is, if you have the skills and time (and motivation!) to start a challenge as hard (at least for me) as trying to get into a top-tier masters program, then you must surely have at least that much motivation to do something much smaller but with a higher chance of success and with much quicker results, which in turn should ideally motivate you more to keep going.

So to answer your question, how do you deal with loss of motivation? well, doing small things that add up seems to work wonders for me (and others as well I presume)

Just make a Tetris clone with a twist for example. After that, maybe add multiplayer to that same thing. And you can keep on going like that and at some point you are going to realize that this thing is now much bigger than you would have thought, and suddenly you have spent X amount of time on this project.... and I guess that's motivation.

(Also, it doesn't have to be a game obviously, but how about making some simple software to help one of your parents/family members/friends with something they might be struggling with? that could also be a source of motivation: helping others do things that might be very easily solvable with your skills)

"data analysts controlling our emotions"

is really nothing new. Sensing the emotions expressed by someone and then nudging them through targeted advertisement is a multi-billion business. It is proven to be effective in that realm. Is it fear mongering when one wonders about the political impact of this technology when employed on a massive scale?

Little actual information?

"Cambridge Analytica worked for the Trump campaign ... it was reported that until recently he had a seat on the board."

"A few weeks later, the Observer received a letter."

"earlier this week, I ended up in a Pret a Manger near Westminster with Andy Wigmore, Leave.EU’s affable communications director"

Concrete facts about how people and organizations relate. Events and named sources. First hand interviews.
If you pitch it directly to the team who have (most likely) done their own homework about moving to micro services, that it is not a good decision, even though your point could be valid, may not be well taken as it can subconsciously be interpreted as you being non-consensus driven/jumping to conclusions.

Why not: 1. Draft an email with a subject 'Second opinion on moving to micro services 2. Let the email body be a very succinct description that a. you have done some research, b. you respect the team's decision but c. would like their opinion on your research. Also seek a time for a 30 minute presentation and 30 minute feedback/discussion. Don't send your document with the email, keep that for your presentation. That way you will be seen in positive light, as a team member with his own opinions but also a team player.

Also, have you asked them what was the data from their research that made them take the decision to move to micro services?

Brexit is a mess. It's the first time that I'm seeing British people leaving their own country and come to Switzerland where they don't know the language at all.
My friends who moved to London from Eastern Europe want to leave, because the worth of their salary dropped by 20% on the global scale, and all they can hear about is Brexit and the negativity around it. Britain is not fun anymore for anybody living there. Also older people who voted for the Brexit are just starting to realize how much they depend on foreigners.

If you take a look at their clients, it's mostly massive companies that probably order large lots of OEM solutions. I don't think amfeltec needs the scale or rather isn't already at the scale you are talking about (margin, not turnover), by enterprise tax and support for OEM builds alone.

The 4x splitters go for about $200. But if you want guaranteed compatibility (i.e. a full build), the price (and margin for them) will skyrocket.
No they should be going after voters who voted for Trump.

Google's third-party ads are known to be almost useless. Referrals directly from a Google search have some value. But this article goes beyond that. It indicates that most clicks on third party ads are coming from bots.

It would be useful for a few sites to publish IP addresses and times from which they get bot-like traffic. Maybe a pattern will emerge.

Thanks for the reference. I hadn't seen anything at all until yesterday. Curiously, the article was on page A18 -- way back on in the "A" section. Nor did it mention that he was one of 8 Congressmen to vote against funding for additional missiles for the Iron Dome anti-missle system that protected Israeli civilians from Hamas rockets.

There was at least one Op-Ed about Steve Bannon and anti-Semitism but no opinion piece of Op-Ed in the NYTimes or otherwise about Ellison and his views.
Who will be responsible for security?
I wonder what "we’ll make sure you keep getting regular updates" really means. Regular updates and prompt security updates the moment Google publishes them are two different things. Considering that even Google's support of its own devices is somewhat abysmal (three years of security updates _at best_) and that almost all 3rd party vendors don't push security updates fast enough I'm not confident that Nokia will be any better.

+1 on your point about React making progressive enhancement easier. This repo and related technologies are rather neat!

> The biggest argument seems to be laziness: "Progressive enhancement is hard, here's a term that I can apply liberally to give myself an excuse not to bother".

It's always going to come down to the requirements and an understanding of who is using your web app.

In some cases, you should absolutely optimize for PWA... Facebook, for example, is a webapp that considers users in developing countries with shotty networks. They also optimize for those with blindness.

Implementing those features in a webapp like Kibana (visualizer for elasticsearch data) would be a wasted effort given the user demographic and the purpose of the app.

TL;DR: "It depends"

EDIT: I just realized I may not have addressed your point " I don't see why it necessarily applies to webapps but not to websites.". I think the answer is simply "Webapps are inherently more complex than websites, therefore, more strict web requirements need to be met". This is an easy way to compartmentalize it, but isn't an absolute.

I believe the idea is that relying on motivation to work on the things you like is much less effective that relying on discipline to work on the things you like.
Does anybody know about the build quality? Is it on par with what Nokia was known for?
If money were the only meaningful thing in life, you might have a point.

In the meantime, many of us are happy enabling other people to be more productive and making an amount of money that can certainly be described as satisfactory.

But even if you want to maximize salary, being a 10x multiplier on a team in a large company is a very different thing from running a company. (And running a company is a very different thing from necessarily making insane amounts of money)

I'd been in similar position many years back. I couldn't leave the job because I promised myself I would complete at least 3 years in any co I join. The only reason was to prevent job-hopping that would ruin my resume. Fast forward, I am self-employed now.

First, my job was boring, unchallenging, zero-stress, lesser hours and paid pretty well. In those days I always questioned - "why would anybody leave such a job? won't that be stupid?". So I started learning other things - I delved into music, reading, blogging and stocks (which became my obsession and then analyzing data just became an obsession). I also spent that part of my life enjoying life. That period lasted for 3 years and then the company had restructuring, which turned my job into a challenging, high-stress job.

Retrospectively, I do think I wasted a lot of time back then. But had I not done that, I may not have pursued the path. I wasted money on unnecessary things - which I should not have.

> I need to find something with purpose,big money, and satisfaction.

Big money - Money can't make you happy. That is 100% true. But money can buy you freedom. Freedom can lead you on a path to satisfaction. Bottomline: Do worry about your finances, but don't get greedy.

> What shall I do?
Chill, relax and explore (for a preplanned 6months/1year/2years). Your job is taking care of your finances. You may have worked too hard to find "now" as less harder. Such times don't last long. Don't push your brains to find a purpose for existence - its also depressing.

Only reason I own a smartphone is to fit in while working - it was like being an outsider with everyone else getting information immediately via Trello and Slack. I would often miss last minute changes to meetings and stuff.

Other than that I have no reason to own one and would love to get rid of it. I deleted all my social media accounts, I use normal taxi services and public transport, I memorize directions from my computers and so on. I don't even check my emails on the thing.
I think recruiters are great. I've been working with them for almost 20 years. As long as they are local recruiters working with local companies. I have 20 recruiters all from different companies in my contacts.

- They have always asked me for permission before submitting me to a company.

- My application never goes into a black hole like it would if I were applying for a company directly. I don't think I've ever been submitted to a company by a recruiter without going through the entire process -- resume submittal, phone screen -> in person interview -> offer. Unless I decided to stop the process somewhere.

- Going through a recruiter is the only way that I've found to filter based on salary requirements. Most job posting don't include them and it's only at the offer stage that you even know if you and the company are in the same ball park.

- I'm able to just sit back and wait for jobs to come to me. I don't have to scour career sites.

I have had recruiters that don't understand that no means no and that while money is the an important reason I work, it's not the only reason. Recruiters were shocked last time that I took a job that wasn't in the top of my pay range but offered more autonomy (the architect at a small company as opposed to just another developer at a large company), and a better commute with little travel.
Ok, look at the Thai Baht exchange rate:

http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/THB=X/?p=THB=X

You see the graph on the right, it hovers around 30 USD/THB (that's 30 THB per USD, in somewhat confusing FX convention).

Now click on 5Y, then click on 10Y, and compare. The 10Y graphs probably includes some wrong blip around 700, which is why the 10Y graph scale is from 0 to 750, and you just see a basically flat line displayed at the bottom.

(The 10Y PHP graph is fine, while the 10Y INR graph has a similar issue).

So, if you do any trading strategy where you're trying to figure out whether your current value is relatively high or low by comparing it to the 10Y max and min, you'll most likely be off.

Or consider equity, for example. To properly deal with shares, you first need the trading calendar for every exchange (when is the exchange open and you can make a trade), and the settlement calendar (when will the shares actually be settled). US settlement is typically T+3, Europe T+2, UK Gilts T+1, but all according to certain calendars, naturally. These calendars vary by country, and even exchange and even function (in other words, there might be days when shares at a certain exchange trade, but don't settle, and vice versa).

Bloomberg has all these details - good luck finding it on Yahoo or anywhere else, really.

Once this goes out of beta, would you say that running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes is now considered good practice?

I've been wary of running anything stateful on K8s for other reasons than the stable identity stuff. Historically, Docker's I/O has not been particularly robust — well, Docker has not been particularly robust. You also have to be very careful about resource limits and requests.

In particular, you have to ensure that the QoS class "Guaranteed" [1] kicks in, because the last thing you want is for Kubernetes to think that PostgreSQL is something that is happily rescheduled.

It's indeed very sad, but it's not just a view. Russian paid internet trolls are probably another prominent example of multipolar trap. Each individual don't even care about politics, probably just earning some money for living, but together they are an army doing enormous harm to democracy, starting in Russia and then spread to the US and Europe. How would you convince them to stop?
I'm amazed this hasn't been exploited.

> Once we have AIs as smart as humans

Whether a true 'generalist' AI is possible in the forseeable future is debatable.

> they can do AI research as good or better than human researchers.

Now your AI is not just a 'generalist' but rather a specialist in AI. A very big leap of faith has occurred here. This also presumes that the AIs are even capable of effective invention and improvisation rather than mimicry and optimization (the only two features we have seen from the very best of cutting-edge ML work so far.)

> And they can make AIs that are even better, which in turn can make even better AIs, and so on.

All of which is predicated on the limiting factor being software and not hardware. If it is the latter then these postulated AIs are hitting the same brick wall as humans and thinking about the problem faster or harder does not magically make the necessary hardware appear.
Programming languages don't use keyboards; they use some sets of characters, typically a subset of ASCII. Keyboards then can produce those characters.

And yes, typing [\]{|} and so on is inconvenient on my keyboard. I particularly detest the choice of \ over / in MSDOS and Windows path names.

I occasionally use US keyboard layout just to get around these difficulties, but whenever I arrive at some random computer, it will have the local layout.

(This is particularly confusing when going to France or Germany with they AZERTY and QWERTZ keyboards.)
That's a wonderfully brave assertion of falsehood! Independence would be a problem for California. The unequal yoke that the Colorado River Compact provides now already has other participating states ticked off at California for how much water and power is diverted to SoCal. That Compact, though, is an agreement among US states and the federal government. To include an independent California would require making a treaty subject to advice-and-consent of the the US Senate. If that wasn't in place and as there's been no likelihood that the Southern Nevada Water Authority would be willing to let the current Compact terms continue to give California the majority of Lake Mead's water, watching SoCal lose a major source of water let alone power is indeed in the cards. Staying in the union means California keeps its preferential terms under the Compact. Leaving means everything has to be renegotiated and since SoCal has been sucking Lake Mead and Lake Powell dry there's little interest by the upstreams in letting that continue.
Maybe it means that everything is going wireless.
Like I said, I would love score voting (range voting). Its my preference for precisely the reason you state: it provides the expressiveness to show partial support. And it does so without the constraints of IRV or ranked voting. To my mind, score is the "superset" voting model.

However, approval is something that could be installed with relatively low cost and low effort. And it is nearly immediately understood by anyone. Score voting requires a tiny bit more education (although it too is easy to understand; and I suspect most voters would get the hang of it after a couple elections).

I would be disappointed with IRV/ranked because it seems the most difficult to understand, requires rework of ballots, and disallows equal scoring (thereby reducing expressiveness). It would be a shame to squander voting reform momentum to end up with IRV.
We are definitely looking to improve the documentation. This is 0.1, after all.

This project was started as a backend for a lazy event sourcing approach (https://blog.eventsourcing.com/lazy-event-sourcing-ed7e59007... , https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aqv8d1pjmU8) and beyond.

The idea behind it is that it provides primitives for building systems that are designed around immutable events, journals, indexing, etc. Hence the current positioning. We thought it would be useful to be targeting fairly narrowly early on.

Either way, we will definitely need to expand on that in our materials
> Revenue is absolute. Money either came in or it didn't.

Sadly nothing is that absolute. Plenty of revenue scandals out there.

A typical example of this: a large supermarket hasn't made enough money for the year, and asks its suppliers to book future sales that (very likely) will come next year as real sales now. The suppliers do this, and actually pay up, because they want to stay on good terms with the big supermarket. So the supermarket has the "absolute revenue" now, but has a hidden liability behind it.

It's not theoretical:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37536538

"Auditors found that the inflated profit figure was the result of Tesco booking payments from suppliers before the company had been due the money."

"Immigrants don't commit crimes"... Well, if you import a lot of very poor and unskilled people, the result will be more crime.

Actually, I think it's more complicated that that. I can't find the data but I remember a report that stated that Somali and Iraqi immigrants had 5 time higher conviction rate, and that more than 25% had been convicted for a crime, compared to ~5% of swedes.

I also remembered that immigrants from Sri Lanka -that have been a conflict zone for a very long time - had more or less half the conviction rate than Swedes, which is an interesting fact.

> Of the many people I know who say they yearn for a 'dumbphone' (feature phone), I've yet to see anyone I know actually make the nostalgic leap.

I went back to a feature phone for almost a year, though I had a smartphone in "airplane mode" with me for most of the same time, but I'd just connect that to wifi.

> I don't think the Nokia 3310 would achieve that either.

Probably not. One thing that I couldn't get used to with the feature phone was call quality. It was terrible. I don't know if that's GSM (as compared to what 4G was like on my smartphone) or if that was the build quality of the feature phone (which was a rather cheap phone). But I agree that the 3310 isn't likely to entice many people to take the leap.
