I have found this to be true. One big cause of procrastination is a to escape from mental discomfort. Part of the way to get through that is to build tolerance to discomfort using CBT/stoicism tequeniques.

But also finding ways to release discomfort-causing thoughts help too.

Nice match.
Apt timing. I was just revisiting a voice not from after Christmas vacation where I noticed the same thing in myself.

I "take vacation" all the time, in that I'm fucking off from some kind of work for a couple days straight. Why do some feel different than others? Because of whether I feel like I'm "allowed" to be doing it.

The core healing property of a vacation, at least for me, seems to be a vacation from the shame of feeling like I'm misallocating my time, rather than a vacation from any particular task. This also explains why deep work can feel so nourishing despite being very unlike what we'd normally think of as "vacation".

Glad to see this topic get some play on HN. Really curious about other people's experiences and solutions here.
I've been using borgbase for a couple of weeks and am very happy with it.
Just take a look at the energy densities of "renewables" vs nuclear power. I wrote a paper last year comparing the output of the entire fleet of US wind turbines (onshore and offshore) to the output of the US's least productive nuclear powerplant. Over the course of a year, the powerplant produced 20% more energy, at a total cost of 90% less $, than all of US wind turbines combined. Just let those figures settle in your mind a little...
People in this thread do not seem to appreciate the real threat to society that censorship and propaganda pose.

A widely used news rating site will be used to suppress political dissent and alternate views.

Maybe take a look at history and the world. Do you think that Chinese authorities would like a tool installed on everyone's computer that could rate the trustworthiness of a news article or site? Of course they would love it because they could just downgrade any reporting that was critical of the party.

Based on the number of young people who seem to be begging for authorities to control their information, it appears that the China model is coming to the United States.

Yeah, I have abandoned a bank due to bad rules on its strategic delays on transactions.
Every time I had a problem I could solve it with a quick call, even outside of working hours, but it was a bother.

It's not an inherently bad thing to do, but it's easy to overdo, and on a company that depends on network effects it can be very dangerous.
Even if it comes to Europe, if they use the same methodology as they usually do (like 1 USD = 1EUR) you are going to have a worse experience.

Why not get the citi double cash, or fidelity 2% back with no annual fee?
This is slightly different though, twitter is silly and unnecessary - access to your money is not.

During some of the recent shows highlighting issues with payday lending these sorts of strategic delays were mentioned in the light that they can cause irregularly paid workers to have problems actually getting money out of their paycheck - forcing them into more borrowing until they are able to clear their checks.

Again, twitter is just silliness, but the banking example is a lot more serious of a case where the pros and cons need to be very carefully weighed.
Lots claim to, but then end up with a manager per 10 devs, a senior manager per 5 managers, a director for 5 senior managers.

vs 2 principal engineers for the entire org up to the director.

So you can either jump over to management and be a senior manager a few years later and a director a few years after that, or you can stick around at senior engineer for another 5-10 years and maybe move up to principal.

It's true that in late 2016, Twitter was reported to be potentially bid on and purchased by companies like Google and Salesforce [0]. Though looking at its stock price history, it remained around its end-of-2016 price, until 2018 when it finally showed a profit in late 2017 [1]. In that time, according to that Recode article, its user count only increased by 3% from 2017 to 2018, and revenue only increased by 12%, comparing 2018Q1 to 2016Q1 (Facebook's revenue went up 122% in that period). As a frequent Twitter user for the past decade, my impression is that maybe Trump's election made Twitter more of an "official" place for "important" things. But that added prestige also resulted in far more scrutiny that Twitter had ever had regarding bots and abusive behavior, necessitating them to have actual measures and policies (and, presumably, more staff dedicated towards that).

I don't think it's definitive to say that Trump directly saved Twitter, though. Twitter was already on a trajectory to be the place for breaking news. Whereas Facebook's attempt at such as basically imploded. But maybe Trump's habit of using Twitter so prominently basically cemented Twitter as a habit for many other users, especially those in the media.

You are deliberately confusing presentation for semantics, which is discriminatory. The WCAG directly mentions not doing this. You cannot achieve AA conformance when you attempt to force this on your users.

For example red means stop and green means go to many people. When color is the primary means of status description that is discriminatory, because blind people cannot perceive color in any way. The status must be described in some other way equally for all users, but it can be colored red/green by CSS for increased usability. The same goes for page structures like menu bars. The standards even provide examples with ARIA.

CSS is only a factor for people with motor control limitations when interactive controls are too close together to be accessed uniquely with a mouse click. If this is a concern for you have somebody with advanced Parkinson’s usability test your site, otherwise turn CSS off for all other accessibility testing.

There is no doubt in some remote corner of India some party worker might ask people to swear on their kids, gods and what not. But let me confirm that it is not even a phenomenon. Mostly figure of speech. OP used graphic details as if it is some cult practice "For Hindu voters, a plate with oil lamp, an idol, a mixture of auspicious powder is used."

Either the party worker has to be naive to believe that such ritual has any value or the people have to be completely stupid. Poor people are desperate and will happily take whatever money that comes their way and will not care too hoots about swearing on Gods. Remember if you can do a ritual to swear on God another one can invent a ritual to free you from that oath.

On top of that, some airlines like Qantas name their planes (e.g. you'll have an A330 named Cradle Mountain). I'm not sure that the mappings are publicly available but maybe it can be crowdsourced.
C# is higher-level in aggregate, but if you look at individual features, it lets you go as low as C in most respects - raw pointers with arithmetic, unions, stack allocations, you name it. It seems that this EFI project uses it at that level, and higher-level features that would require e.g. GC aren't supported.
Security through obscurity has different merits depending on the context.

In software, it is a really bad idea to hope that your code is so obscure that no attacker will find a security flaw.

IRL, on the other hand, unknown positions of assets are often critical (the uncertainty whether you know about all the adversary's nuclear silos being a huge part of the nuclear deterrence policy).

We're going this way as well (requiring & verifying phone numbers, not locking accounts).

We don't have a problem with bots, but users in the "not so tech savvy" segment tend to switch/discard/forget their email address. Rather than try to recover their account with us, this group will subsequently just create a new one, and then wonder & complain that their profiles/settings/content/histories aren't carried over. We fix them up after an identity check. It's both a support burden and a negative user experience.

Turns out that phone numbers, whilst also subject to flux, have better long-term congruence to identity, and thereby help us to detect account duplication and manage it.

People also make fewer errors in entering their phone number.

It irks me that public sentiment could be normalized against supplying a phone number due to abuse by the global-scale consumer surveillance utilities, because those of us running trustworthy businesses can use it to legitimately provide a better user experience.
Right now that may be the case but, I'm curious if this might cause some small nation with an international code to succumb to the massive amounts of money spammers will start offering for large banks of phone numbers... Looking at you British India Ocean Territories...

I'm obviously not your doctor, but whatever is happening to you so much that you haven't been able to relax in 40 years probably doesn't happen to 1 in 10 people. Certainly not to the degree that you describe. ”This one time this thing happened” isn't the same as "I can't sleep because of the voices". But anyway, maybe the whole world is teetering on madness.

Yes!

We hired multiple bootcampers. I can definitely say the experience this time was good and the employees are successful.

It does take time and patience (and a path), it includes quite a bit of mentoring and guidance.

It's also about expectations. You can't expect them to be "in the know" of everything and it requires more management resources in the beginning. If the company is committed to it and not doing it as a means to save money, it can most definitely work.
Sadly familiar. I realize I am unhappy when I am on my own time and work makes me feel fulfilled. I wish it weren't true.
Another covert spam fighting way is when one of the platforms require you to set up a phone number "for two factor authentication", basically not letting you to use their service unless you actually provide the number. There are multiple platforms framing the issue in this way.

Facebook once required that you set up 2 factor authentication and they promised that the phone number won't be used for anything else. Few years later, they started spamming users at those phone numbers with notifications about what their friends did. And since this year, those numbers can be used to search for users on the platform.

The big issue with giving those platforms your data is that you hand over control. Even if they promise you something.
Let me offer a counter comment - going outside for a walk makes me more depressed. It's a quiet time that allows my mind to run wild and cause increased symptoms of depression.

Now I still do it but it's hardly a positive for me personally. Of course I'm not saying you're wrong for yourself - just that there are alternative viewpoints that should be put out there.
The same way we have the robocall situation (thanks to shady telcos that turn a blind eye), the same way this system will be bypassed with similar telcos offering massive blocks of numbers at very cheap prices per unit (Twilio numbers seem expensive at small scale, but I guarantee you will get those prices down if you commit to getting like a thousand of those or so at once).

Apple felt like a different company today
We're in a similar sort of space with regards to shifting emails and a lack of easy account recovery. I have educated my family on password managers and I really would appreciate (it's beyond my means) someone putting some serious effort into getting a larger proportion of the population onto using password management software - along with a nice free cloud based option. There is so little data involved in these sorts of things that it's got to be pretty much incidental to offer free storage in a safe encrypted manner.
Linking pseudonyms from two different networks (in this case, Twitter and the phone system) together is a classic and serious privacy leak.

It's far from clear exactly what information Twitter, in its longtime effort to combat spam, has already collected on its users. Throwing a phone number into the mix expands to range of activities that can be unambiguously tied to the same individual. Given that Twitter certainly knows IP addresses of its users, it's trivial to do things like link site visits directly to an individual answering the phone number.

Unfortunately, most people simply don't understand the implications of any of this. They don't understand what an entity, "authorized" or not can do with this kind of data. They are far too trusting of governments and other powerful entities to do the right thing. They have not been paying attention to the steady erosion of civil liberties around the world and can't conceive of, for example, ever ending up in prison for some lame post they made 10 years ago.

If you used Apple pay, you can even get less excited. Because since today, Apple is now a competitor for banks.

I have the same problem. I don't really use twitter, but sometimes I get a link to there from Reddit or HN. Twitter never works on the first try with Firefox or Chrome on Android. Often a refresh helps, but sometimes it does not work at all.

I too think it is done intentionally to get users to install the app. I can't think of a reason this is a simple bug. But the again... Hanlon's razor.

It is or should I mark that as a 'no'?

I've contracted with companies who specifically hire disabled workers. Their unemployment rate is ridiculously high (edit, I've heard numbers of up to 70%) and my leadership wanted to so something about that. I needed web usability experience added to my team, why not have someone with a disability to lead that? Guy was unemployed for a year, had a masters in HCI, this was an easy choice.

My company wanted to include our work in their diversity report, why not? They're specifically reaching out and hiring people who cannot find work, if they get positive PR for that, why the hell should we stop them? It gets more like-minded people in the company and shows others in our industry that they can do this too. It's leadership.
I believe Google's captcha does. With the unfortunate side-effect of Google de-anonymizing everyone they let through - as you'll know if you try to access something behind captcha through Tor, and get stuck in an infinite loop helping Google train their artificial vision.

They claim it's against bots, but no matter how well you identify traffic lights and fire hydrants, it won't let you through.

Very common in banking is a situation where you deposit a check, but the bank puts a 2- to 5-business-day hold on availability of the funds until the check clears. They might do this if it's not a local bank, or if for whatever reason they have a doubt about the check clearing.
What interests me is that they've clearly gone after the dark patterns of their opponents or their blatantly obvious unimplemented features (ie better use of mapping to categories behaviour or clear statements about not abusing the data they gather).

This is a much more compelling sales pitch than "forget about these suspicious practices, everyone does that, but hey isn't this convenient!" which is so common now with the others.
Um wasn’t there a case where one of the big 3 providers in US was selling real time location data?

There are two ways of dealing with the issue. You can default-deny, like only allowing people to drive after a test, or you can default-allow, like just like anything else.

We usually use default-deny only where the severity of bad behavior is very high. That's because it has a high cost for both most people and the test-issuers, and it has a very high cost to the few people caught as false positives. It is a very damaging mode for society. We are also migrating into only using default-deny on the internet, even on consequence-less contexts, and the previous paragraph still applies.

We may get a better world if we take some of the privacy away from the network level, we may even get to keep more of it overall.
