Yeah, I've been using a combination of melatonin at bedtime and meditation. Plus really good sleep hygiene: red light after 8pm, no screens after 9pm, bed by 9:30 or 10pm every night (with few exceptions) get up with out an alarm every morning (pretty consistently before 8 am) and take a vigorous 1 or 2 mile walk with the dog, no more than 1 cup or tea or coffee in the morning.

That all helps control it most of the time. But it doesn't help on those really stressed out nights when I can't seem to break the thought loop long enough to get into a meditative state.

I've tried the writing trick, but for me, my thoughts run way faster than my pen can. I often find myself coming to after half an hour of staring at a single paragraph and realizing that I've just been looping the whole time with out writing anything.

I'm hoping I'll eventually get good enough at meditating that I'll be able to break those loops, but in the mean time I tend to just try to keep stress low enough that I don't get caught in them in the first place. Life just doesn't always play along.

> But that's not a solution. If user authorization to certificates are based off passwords, for example, then what prevents an attacker from taking compromised data about me and using that to get access to passwords?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, but an attacker will also need physical access to your authenticator. That's a much less scalable attack vector.

As for a real problem, others pointed out phishing already. U2F and Webauthn aren't just a certificate management solution, but a protocol for the user agent to make trusted statements to the server.
This article feels so slanted it's unreadable. Conceding that Facebook and Google probably actually do need to be regulated happens near the very bottom of the article; until then you'd be forgiven for thinking that the ISPs made all their concerns about those companies up.

I think this analogy has gone off course a bit. But I do think a manufacturer providing automatic irreversible updates has an obligation to ensure, as best as possible, that the device continues to work with that update. If it worked yesterday, it should work tomorrow, period.

It would be perfectly reasonable to not force updates and allow users to continue with the current version forever if that keeps them running. But it's not reasonable to just break people's functional devices with an unavoidable update.
Thanks. We did take a look at them before, but unfortunately they appeared to have a few significant disadvantages for our situation (fees would have worked out very high, they seem to be very phone/app/online-centric in their access and security arrangements, missing some basic banking features).

I'm also not quite sure how they get around the anti-laundering rules that everyone else has to abide by. They mention checking various possible IDs, but what they say they need doesn't meet the standards that every other bank and financial service we've ever worked with would require, which makes me a bit suspicious about corner-cutting.
With each one getting progressively bigger. Does that mean it is constantly popping but sometimes inflating more than it is popping?
Credit card fee structures make it a little complicated. Generally speaking, you'd want to pool both the input and the output, and then use paypal or something similar -- i.e., require a minimum of a couple dollars to be put in escrow, and then actually flush the payment once it reaches a couple dollars. That way, transaction fees don't totally overwhelm actual payments.

I haven't seen general-purpose systems optimized for micropayments in this way. Aside from flattr, I've seen token-coin (a blogging platform, essentially), and places like patreon roll their own system internally.

If you pay the yearly fee, the auto syncing and auto-wallet sync is a huge standout.

The outrage about that is basically because people are angry they didn't read the fine print combined with anger over who the current US president is.

Since a possile outcome of the angry people getting their way appears to be GDPR style regulation those of us who saw this coming from a mile away are going to fall somewhere on the spectrum of "doing nothing to calm the outrage" to "outright fanning the flames"

Just because your customers signed a ToS or a EULA does not give you permission to act unethically. It just makes it harder for your customers to sue you when they figure it out.

If you don't regulate you allow bad players to keep doing bad things.

If you do regulate you force bad players to work harder to keep doing bad things.

I understand that regulation has negative side effects and unintended consequences. But truly free markets lead to child labor and depressed worker wages. It's impossible to craft perfect regulations, but it's implausible to assume "everything will just sort itself out if we let the free market be completely free" since that has literally never happened on a broad scale.

They're fine with content creators selling t-shirts, but they are hostile to the idea of creators being compensated for the distribution of their creations, or having any control at all over the propagation of their work -- because that necessarily constrains the ability to copy "information" at will.

The author forgot to mention how much he paid for the offshore team. There was no mention of money in the things that went wrong. I think the cost is a very important factor if you expect a high quality project.

I have seen many people who bash India and Indian engineers for low quality work, but lets get to the crux of the problem. Its not that Indian engineers are all bad. They come in all shapes and sizes. You will get the best ones if you pay enough. You pay cheap, you get cheap.

Where can you get cheap ones ? From those big IT companies who treats employees as resources. The employees in turn will also treat their jobs along those lines.

So if you need high quality work, please don't go to these giant corporations. If you look hard enough, you will find small high quality places, but they are not cheap and not 'scalable' like your manager wants them to be.
There's a major difference here: a 3rd party computer part drawing 5% more current than expected probably won't cause issues (There are however many of cases where they do...) whereas a component drawing 5% more current on a phone may cause a shutdown.

They probably can (and I guess rather easily) test whether the touchscreen is or not from Apple and at least let the ungood ones work as before (I am sure this is pretty easy to do: just keep the old controller), issuing a warning (not that Apple is short on these) to the user: "your screen may malfunction or may be insecure. If you had it repaired outside the Apple network, we remind you that it is not covered by our guarantee".

I am pretty sure this is easy, cheap and honest.

> The infuriating thing is, we’ve already paid for it.

No you didn't. For the example, the BBC typically only pays independent production companies (which is about 40% of their output) a fraction of what the content costs to make because the indie retains distribution rights afterwards and can make up the rest with sales. Same with scriptwriters, or actors.

I think the first comment in that thread is what you're referring to. I'd hazard a guess that a "fullstack website" in this context means a site that is written entirely in Javascript (ex. React for the frontend and Node.js for the backend). The original thread question was looking for ways to improve knowledge in Javascript, so building a site entirely in that language would certainly be sufficient to give one an understanding of what you can do with it,

The difference, if you want an honest answer, is that many HN denizens have worked or are currently working for Google or FB, or they hope that their startups will eventually be acquired by one of them. When Comcast gets in the game of providing exits for numerous startups, then we may start to see a shift in HN sentiment.
> I have yet to see a cogent argument justifying that difference. My suspicion is that it ultimately falls down to "ISPs are unpopular, web companies are popular."

To paraphrase a (disputed) John Steinback quote, "HNers see themselves as temporarily embarrassed founders of the next Google or Facebook". There's vicariousness to the support, in addition to those with actual employment links past, present, or future (hopefully).

> Clearly you're very good at what you do. Speak to the folks at your company and help them help you make the situation better.

I'm in a very similar position (less money, but in a much cheaper country, so I still make about 40x minimum wage). I think in my case partially the reason why the company is paying me so much is precisely because the overall conditions there are so shitty, not because I'm some genius. So, as soon as they improve the conditions, they can start paying less.

> Environmental regulations are a great example because large parts of the US population are in communities tied to industries that were eventually saddled with environmental regulations.

I don't think that makes those regulations un-defensible. It just means there are tradeoffs.

Maybe we're just disagreeing about what the word "defensible" means in this context.

> Similarly in tech, many of the people arguing against regulations are economically incentivized to minimize the regulations

Except in this particular instance, the people arguing FOR regulations are economically incentivized to maximize the regulations. That's what makes this particular proposal untenable.

Outside of the renewable energy industry, the people pushing for environmental regulations don't have much economic incentive to do so (other than some very trivial ones, like that the economy will suffer if the planet declines).
