CoFounder here!

It guides you though designing a new app icon that will replace the app you'd like you use less (let's say facebook). When you click on the new 'facebook' icon, it will load facebook . . . but first, it will load a 3-12 second breathing exercise. That does two things -- 1) it breaks your flow state, so that you have a minute to ask if this is what you really want to be doing, and 2) weakens the stimulus-->response loop that made you open the app in the first place.

How do we know how long to make the pause? By monitoring your past engagement with that app and the other apps you're trying to use less, Space tries to guess if you're being "deliberate" or "compulsive." Deliberate opens get a shorter break, compulsive opens got a longer break.

Does that answer your question?

This argument is dangerous.

You can extend that to any point of the chain, salespeople can be considered as just neutral and tool like as programmers and the blame shifted up ad infinitum.

While I don't think that he was complicit in this case (maybe the thought that what he was doing could have bad repercussions never went through his head, I don't know...), if you know that you're writing a program that will be used to calculate a way to kill the biggest number of people in a terrorist attack, would you still claim that you're not complicit because your boss that is paying you are the one complicit?

If you don't know what are the uses of the program, I think that you can claim that, but if you know, definitely you're being complicit, even if you're being paid or working under orders (and not under duress).
Too bad... Vancouver/Whistler was an awesome place to have a conference, even if the weather was rainy and the skiing so-so. A NIPS too big to be hosted by anything but a mega-city sounds depressing.
A few years ago, some friends and I entered a local government innovation competition, made a "bid", gave a presentation and were selected to deliver a proof of concept.

We incorporated pretty much immediately upon being advised of our selection for the PoC. This involved ~AU$600 for government fees and incorporation services.

We then retained a lawyer to provide us with a shareholders' agreement (~$1500) and obtained our legally required workers' compensation insurance (~$500).

We didn't sign the contract for the PoC until that point.

Conveniently, the rules of the competition allowed us to expense all that to the customer...

As for why we chose to incorporate - the majority of my team are somewhat risk-averse and legally-minded, and even though we were and remain close friends, we wanted to formalise our business structure to help manage any potential for disagreement later down the track.

As it turned out, our government customer was very happy with the PoC and was interested in engaging us further, but their timelines didn't match up with ours and we ultimately decided to take the $12,500 prize money, open source our PoC code and move on to regular megacorp/government careers.

Had we chosen to continue on, however, having a corporate structure would have been an absolute, non-negotiable necessity for taking on a proper government contract.

During the period our company was active, we never got an accountant - I learned more than I ever wanted to know about how to fill out an Australian corporate income tax return, with pen and paper...

Tackling Inequality in Gifted-And-Talented Programs
I sometimes wonder how much of this is actually on the parents as well? I see some of my co-workers handing phones with some games to distract their child. Previously we had smaller toys - plastic etc, now it seems phones are an easier go to medium.
If my parents had limited my amount of time spent using a computer or paying video games, I would never have gone down the path that led me to here.

I have extended family who have done this, and the difference is palpable.
I think, that's more of a US thing that people don't have a right to an offer. In Europe, it usually rather goes that it's a public offer, therefore anyone in principle has a right to take this offer, you can especially not exclude them because you dislike their skin color or sexual orientation etc., but they can forfeit this right under certain circumstances, for example if someone repeatedly steals from your grocery store, then you can ban them from entering your store, but you generally do need a judge to confirm that.

Then again, the article actually specifies "...or similarly significantly affects him or her". So, it doesn't even need to be a right to upload to YouTube. Of course, it's up for debate if it "significantly affects" someone when they cannot upload YouTube-videos, but at the very least with the many people making their living off of YouTube, this should be a pretty clear case.

About 4 months after starting - basically before we had to start paying our vendors. In retrospect, I think we could have done it even later, just before opening the online store.

I guess it matters where you are and what your business is. In our case, we are based in Europe and run an ecommerce company, so we had to be incorporated quite early on.
How to Become a Computer Programmer
Was doing long-term contract work for two companies. Incorporated (Washington S-Corp), moved contracts over there for liability, tax, structural reasons. Huge pain in the ass. Basically took a year of my co-founder's time to set everything up properly and learn everything necessary to drive the thing financially.

On the other hand. Now we have revenue, payroll (Gusto), health insurance (Premera), an attorney, proper corporate paperwork, and products that we wanna make. Pretty happy to have done that all before looking for investment. Seems like we're likely to retain more of our independence than other potential paths.

15 years ago it was called "VCR parenting" now we call it "tablet parenting" - People live hard and complex lives, so I'm not going to make judgment on a single parent trying to provide for their kids being unable to be a full-time entertainer as well. The good news is technology and apps are making it easier for parents to be better with less effort (which may sound harsh but is how life gets better overall)
Or maybe you’re hoping to demonstrate how accurately you can push both classes of buttons, and them license the tech? Or hope to be acquired?

I read 1984 the book over the weekend and this is truly a disturbing news. At this point in time, I am happy that we don't have such blatant dictatorship in India and that our infra is shit, our software in government is a joke so that they won't be able to build a system like this where Big Brother is looking over everyone via the telescreen. It is scary to not have freedom of thought, expression.
We've been on HN a few times. The public reaction (in posts) is always very cynical and there are some very hateful emails. But we just hired someone who found us though an HN post and believed in the mission. We always get a lot of good customer inbounds with each HN post.

When people like you ask the questions like you did, it gives us an opportunity to get this larger mission statement out where the people who need it can see it.

Thanks for the question!

I also don't know if this is going to work out (That's Startups!). We're are being honest and optimistic about technology that everyone else in the industry is ashamed, underhanded, and small-minded about.

>if you were a typical investor

I’m not sure what “typical investor” means in this context. Shoveling money away in a diversified account and never touching it? Investment practices aren’t static and have changed quite a bit over the time measured.

Even if investment practices were static you still need to factor in human emotion to investing. It’s easy in retrospect to see “If I kept my money in a diversified market I would have received +x% over y time”.

But humans don’t think this way. Day to day events have much more influence on how someone makes a decision than long term forecasts.

The Great Depression wasn’t just a slow down to our economy, many people believed capitalism was coming to an end. This happened weeks after one of the strongest bull market periods in United States history.

If you were to travel back in time and tell someone on Black Tuesday “don’t worry, use dollar cost averaging and you’ll be rich in 90 years” they would think you were insane.

This research also fails to recognize most millionaires in that time period were immigrants from poor families. Their frugality and tolerance for high risk entrepreneurial activities is what made them wealthy to begin with. Trustfund children rarely make as much as their parents. They settle for low risk careers like “doctor” or “lawyer” which pay high salaries but do not generate large sums of wealth. They also tend to be UAWs (Under Accumulator of Wealth).

“A $250,000 per year doctor is an "Under Accumulator of Wealth" if his/her net worth is less than the product of their age and one tenth of his/her realized pretax income.” - The Millionaire Next Door

I'm wary of the proposed solutions.

I spent very significant time during my childhood using computers. At the time, I would have had scarcely anything to prove that time was in any way "useful". I would have been hard pressed to convince others that my behavior was not detrimental.

Because I did spend so much time freely using computers, I learned how to use them. I learned about Linux, partitioning, bootloaders, programming, 3D modeling, etc.

My childhood learning experience happened over the course of more than a decade. It was full of totally pointless endeavors, a very significant part of it was just paying video games (which evolved into modding video games years later), and none of it would have happened with overbearing parents obsessed with the merits of my interests.
Yes, and this is the command that you'd use - in fact, running it from cron every minute is probably a decent solution - but my point is that you have to run something to do so; there isn't a "ipfs add --watch" or so. This isn't even bad; I prefer separated concerns.
What I don’t understand about the whole debate is that people can actually get addicted to anything...collecting bookmarks, chocolate, sex, etc...

Any nobody in their right mind would suggest to regulate or ban those.

I think as society we need to rethink addictions...as people with a issue...a issue that we need to provide help to break.

Instead we are pointing fingers and avoiding the necessary conversation.

Serious question, I don't know the answer to this: was the rhetoric of 19th century politicians different because people were more civil/thoughtful in general or just because there were (most likely) proportionally fewer people paying attention?

(Doubtless a bit of both, I suppose.)
Does freedom == privacy? I'd argue privacy is merely a facet of freedom, but public privacy is something I don't think our society is designed to support. The only places I expect privacy are in my home and on the Internet (such as it can be). In public, people who anonymize themselves (e.g., with masks or unmarked vehicles) most often seek privacy for criminal reasons (e.g., thieves or violent protesters). Hence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-mask_laws

But then a lot of Middle Eastern women seem to usually get away with it in places.

If we decide that giving up public privacy is palatable (which you may not), only then can we move on to cameras. If we decide they're too powerful of a surveillance tool, law enforcement bodies are going to have to do a lot more hiring to deter crime! And China's bathrooms will need paper dispenser attendants.

Oh, and adopt a no-cellphone Stallman policy or... legislate absolutely Zero Tracking(TM) carrier tower service or something.
I find it fascinating that people spend so much time on social media, however, I don't really think you can consider it an addiction. If social media can be labeled an addiction then can we not also say socializing is addicting and we should limit our social interactions with people so we don't become addicted to socializing?
If using a computer is addictive, what is the response?

I am concerned with any action that takes a child's privacy or liberty from them. I haven't heard a proposed solution that does neither, and most do both.

Someone with the absolute best intentions it's likely to take seriously harmful actions when privacy and liberty are disrespected.

It’s on parents to teach their kids how the world functions and how to integrate into it...always has, always will!

And the latest craze (is this case smartphones) is simply that...the latest thing a contemporary human has to learn how to use.

And our kids will have to teach their kids one day how to use (and moderate personal use of) whatever the latest craze they have then.
