I think of this phrase: "Spend time on what your future self most wants you to work on." That being said I often lose focus (assuming I know my future self). One project I'm engaged in is learning about systems and complexity. I figure that applies broadly enough to any work to meet the criteria above. I write about it here: https://unintendedconsequenc.es/blog/

I think proprioception is also part of the secret to 'athleticism', which is kind of a vague hand-wavey concept but also a very real one (speaking as someone with no natural athleticism myself). Being able to intuitively understand where your body is in space & how to react/move it in the moment is a hidden part of being an athlete, whereas conventional analysis usually just focuses on strength/speed/explosiveness.

I also think there's a very strong cognitive/information processing in the moment aspect to athleticism as well- a general CPU motor that coordinates the speed, strength, proprioception etc. together in the moment. (Another aspect that I noticed I lacked growing up compared to others in sports)
Personally, I don't usually use the broswer UI, but I like it much more than Gmail - simple, easy to navigate, does what I need. Though I mostly go there only for settings and it's always been easy.

I use IMAP and SMTP, and it just works. I can move and delete mail. No weird All mail folder, semi-automatic weird Trash, resurrecting messages and duplicates that are annoying to get rid of.

Overall, I hope they don't add complicated gimmicks or weird behaviours like gmail.
Even though we are fairly anti-surveillance as a whole, a lot of fairly radical surveillance laws get proposed all the time. Most die early, some die after push-back from the population, some get voted in and are thrown out by the constitutional court, and a few survive. It's a never ending fight.
As for number 2, I think it may be more confusing for potential users since it doesn’t follow a pattern that is typical.

My parents were mostly absent, hence why I was 15 taking a bus to work so I could afford basic goods. If they were willing to care for me, I would have had way fewer encounters with men harassing me. People who never step out of the bubble have no idea.
Falling out of trees isn't governed by the laws of men, but by laws of physics. The laws of man can recognize that capitalism can be very cruel to the poor. The rich are just going to laugh off the cost of the speeding ticket and save up to buy a faster car or bigger house. If you're poor and get a speeding ticket you can't afford, the choice is between going hungry or going cold for the rest of the month. That's a cruel and inhumane and for places that recognize that, the fine for the impoverished so they don't starve. In a practical manner. Sending them off to soup kitchens when they are able to feed themselves outside of the fine that's being imposed on them, is a misuse of everybody's resources.
I changed the URL from https://translate.google.de/translate?sl=de&tl=en&u=https%3A... to the original source, as the site guidelines request.

I know this is a tradeoff that leaves something on the table, but HN is an English-language site, so articles here need to be in English. We don't allow machine translations as a workaround. I could imagine exceptions for topics of particuar intellectual curiosity—something that is so obscure that it only exists in one form and hasn't been translated. But articles on current affairs are the opposite—in those domains, if a story is important enough to be covered here, it will certainly appear in the English-language media.

Put conversely: in popular domains like current affairs, if there's no English-language article worth submitting on a topic, mostly likely that's because the topic isn't significant enough yet. When it comes to politicians proposing bills, that's certainly the case. Most bills go nowhere (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...), and if anything comes of this one, it will surely receive much closer attention.
I used to have that. It seems that it was the cat, laying on top of the covers. I would try to move in my sleep and be unable to, because I was moving with very little force, and it wasn't enough to overcome the cat. But I'd feel this as my limbs not responding to me. What a horrible feeling!

It quit happening to me once the cat died.

For a long time--even after Umami had been identified in Japan--it was still the norm, at least in the US, to teach that there are 4 tastes: salty, sweet, bitter, and sour.

I'm probably biased. But using slide decks as a stand-alone marketing artifact seems like a poor choice of alternative. Better analytics probably makes it better, but still leaves stand-alone slide decks as a poor form of marketing. A web page, video, email, phone-call, brochure, etc. all seem like a better focus of attention.

It's not that I don't appreciate the product. I just think it is likely to leave the big problem intact in the cases where it is used.

Ask HN: Get a GED to Skip High School or Online School?
My nephew (jr in High School) has medical issues that have prevented him from attending classes, such as PE where 80% of the score is participation. Based on conversations with his School Counselor, they are recommending he do online school instead. However, he is very smart and a motivated programmer that wants to do research. I'm wondering if anyone here started with a GED and was able to get into a good state or ivy league school and/or graduate school.

If I were in his position, I would want to quit, get a GED right away, and get some online community college credits while I hone my development / research skills.

Are there any relevant experiences or thoughts you have? Much appreciated.

That's my concern, I never want to become my father given my own painful upbringing.

Even further, I worry that if i ever have kids i'd have to distance myself from parents as I do not approve on how they live or manage their lives. As their child i can manage via effective boundaries and I'm able to ignore their stupidity.

If i ever have kids though, they will want to be part of their lives and I can't really say no and keep their delusions alive.

They think they did a good job raising me and they would use that as an argument and I would never want to enlighten them with what i really feel.

i wouldn't want them parenting my kids like they did me

they love/loved me but love isn't enough. i do care deeply for them, but i do not respect their judgement.
In Australia political ads are regulated and need to include the phrase “Autorised by FirstName LastName, City”.

This applies to Television as well as all print ads.
The reason for this requirement is to hold all political paid advertising accountable to an identified local citizen even if they represent a large political party.

Facebook ads currently do not align with this criteria and I’ve read other articles where the Electoral Commisison May take weeks corresponding with Facebook to have a bad actors post taken down while in the mean time the bad actor is able to spin up many more pages under a different name with no visablity or accountability.

I’m separating general take posts and contents here from paid advertising. For example in Australia the Palmer United party spent $40 million on Facebook ads and achieved roughly 3% of the vote nationally that on preferences went to our conservatives who needed a 2% swing and this alone helped them gain power. To give you an idea the Palmer party candidates didn’t even bother to put up street posters of themselves or attend public forums like other candidates locally.

I see this as a open backdoor in winning democratic elections.

How do we address this as democratic citizens where Facebook is prevalent in our countries?

In Australia we still have a Electoral Commission that is fairly well regarded. I’m thinking out loud, a possible solution could be if the Electral Commisison required anyone wanting to undertake paid political advertising to register with them and then this authorisation/authentication was required to be linked up when creating online political ads on major platforms. Later when there’s a complaint the Electoral Commission could after investigation withdrawal authority and on all major social platforms their ads having losts permissions could come down all at once.

This would need local regulation/legislation to inact but do you think if it was it would be effective?

What solutions can you see?
Lots of schools, though, would allow 12 year olds to read books written by unknown authors or flat earthers. In a world where content is increasingly online, how do you draw the line between protecting preteens from dangerous interactions and preventing them from exploring interesting ideas?
> there was a discussion about how in the future it makes no sense to buy insurance if someone is willing to sell it to you, you are always better off saving and you won't get insured if you actually need it[0].

This is a misunderstanding of how insurance works. It makes sense to self-insured in expected $ value, but not necessarily in expected utility.

There's nonzero value to lowering volatility[1], and the insurance company creates surplus by coordinating the pooling of risk across many people.

For an easy example of the difference, for an easy example of the difference, I wouldn't take a 50/50 coin flip that would either cost me $1 million dollars or gain me $1.1 million; even though the expected value is $50k, because I couldn't afford such a high chance of financial ruin. I would however, sell the chance at this bet to an insurance company for $40k, and if they were large enough to absorb the loss (or bought many such policies), they would take it and gain $10k minus the (lower) value they place on the risk. (All numbers are made up, obviously).

[1] this is a simple enough concept that you can derive it graphically from a utility/$ graph, and requires only the assumption of diminishing marginal utility of $
> This comment is like if someone said they watched their parents burned alive in a house fire and it changed the person for life, and someone else replied "yeah, but think about the other side, my brother is a firefighter and he works so hard..." Sure, let's minimize the first thing and talk about something different.

No, it isn't like that because the discussion is regarding the same environment. within your analogy, both discussions would have to be about parents. So the one person provides the stated example of watching their parents burn to death while the other explains that their parents locked them in a 48" x 48" x 48" cage and tortured the person for 18 years. (I'm going very extreme here to demonstrate the point.)
Not understanding the lyrics can be part of the appeal, because it makes them less distracting.

Understanding a little can make embarrassingly cheesy and saccharine pop lyrics take on a profound poetic quality.

Growing up on anime and Japanese video games is probably a big contributor to finding the melodies appealing.

Also, dude's got a giant concert video in view pretty much constantly, so image is probably part of it.

hope this helps
Yes, the obvious example is balance. You have a way to know which way you're pointing, yet it's not one of the five standard senses.

I think of it as devices rather than physical process sensors, which are the building blocks. You have cells that can detect things like mechanical pressure or specific chemicals, and you have actuators that can trigger sensors. They get mashed up by evolution to create devices like balance detectors.
Hi, I've recently released a new version of CritiMon. For those that don't know, its a new crash and error reporting service, which works on every platform and every programming language. There's many official libraries ranging from C++, PHP, Javascript and Android to name a few, and for any platforms/languages not officially available there is a simple API to send crashes from your own custom made library.

CritiMon is focussed on providing a simple, lightweight and affordable crash monitoring primarily aimed at solo developers and/or startups.

There is a free plan available, as well as paid plans, and currently all paid plans have a 50% off on the lifetime of your subscription.

If you have any questions or suggestions, then please drop me an email at chris[at]boardiesitsolutions.com.

Thanks

Actually it does. While it's logically possible, evidence for a hypothesis A is still provided by any data that is more likely under hypothesis A than under hypothesis B.

The hypothesis that the mind is computable but is using heuristics, of various levels of sophistication, explains the data better and is more parsimonious than your hypothesis, because we already have reason to believe that the mind uses heuristics extensively.

Where you see uncomputable oracular insights, others see computable combinations of heuristics. If you introspect deeply enough while problem-solving, you may be able to sense the heuristics working prior to the flash of intuition.
What is true is that women typically do not understand what men experience online. That was my point.

This doesn't make any sense... what these algorithms are doing is trying to determine how price insensitive the person is... they are trying to find a price point where, for this individual, they aren't going to make the effort to find an alternative because it is not worth the extra savings.

If this leads people to work harder to find a better price, their software isn't working right... it should be charging that person less (just lower enough to not trigger this 'find a better price' desire)

How much time a person is willing to spend to save money is going to be very proportional to how much money that person has, and this makes total sense.
I was 27/30 when my two kids were born, and don't regret it.

I do remember having the wish to have children, and thinking "not yet".

And somebody I respected told me "it's never the perfect time to have children".

There's a tendency towards thinking that, whatever your current situation might be, there might be a better time.

I finished my degree, moved in with my girlfriend of several years, and started a PhD program. I considered waiting with procreation until I finished the program, but decided the time was good enough. Sure, having a PhD and a well-paying job would be even more awesome, but even then I might have wanted to wait for that next promotion around the corner, or owning a house, or whatever.

There's never the perfect time to have kids. If you want kids, ask yourself: is it good enough now?
Speeding has a constant negative effect on society. It doesn't vary based on how wealthy the speeder is. Therefore, if the rate is higher for some people, it's either insufficiently disincentivizing poorer people from speeding, or excessively disincentivizing richer people.

Pigovian taxes should be constant. And if it's not pigovian, why give tickets at all?
>I've never met a full time homemaker who thinks she's getting a raw deal

Until the kids grow and you get into a really vulnerable position. No job, less skills, no retirement funds, less connections and more dependent on your spouse (which sometimes can easily forget you sacrificed your career)
The only other idea I have is to open source a public whack-a-mole and encourage user submission by concerned milenialls who hunt bad ads and lodge complaints. But I’ve not thought this out more.
> Companies already price by predicting what people are willing to pay

So does anyone else who is doing work. For example, have a contractor come by your home to give an estimate on roof repair. It'll be highly dependent on him sizing up you and what you can apparently afford.

Breeders gonna breed. And then forcefully tell everyone else how empty and meaningless lives are without children.

We get it. You had kids. So did like eight thousand people - yesterday.

Good lord parents’ lives are so boring that they spend their time fantasizing about a world where it’s actually fun it have children. Lol
It depends on what you count as biologically programmed, I think. Certainly there's a great deal of cultural programming driving people to reproduce, which is a kind of software programming, even though it's much more malleable than a hardwired instinct would be.
No, income is not a protected class. If you could show that the price discrimination unduly hurts a protected class, you might have a case, but that is unlikely.

Sorry, but that's the way it is. Internet is the future of human interaction.

Look at how people learn now or how they find their peer group or their life partners. Where they discuss issues. Where do they go for help.

Internet is the society. Your family is there. Your fellow villagers are there. Your sages are there. Your support network is there. And your village idiots and villains are there too.

You might not like it but that's reality and there's no comming back because internet is the best way of interacting with people thanks to its speed, memory and safety (when compared to any other form of interaction with exactly same people).

I doubt it is. Opta is probably what most publications and broadcasters use as well. I don't think there is anyone else who collects stats that deep across so many leagues.

Sometimes even I am surprised the details of those stats, like passes by an individual player, distance covered etc.
So it is a cult!

this has happened so much and there are more subtle forms of abuse.

Unfortunately even in my family, my mother, who was forced to have some big career gaps due to 3 kids, had a much lower pension compared to my father and my father considered it to be "fair" that each spends its own pension and split the bills equally. :(

Made a okcupid account back in the day with some random pictures I found on non-English internet of a decently attractive woman. Holy shit, within a week there were tens of unread messages and likes.

What is the lesson there? Go meet women in person. Online/tinder/okc is for schmucks. Women have it so easy.

Also this article is submarine pr for bark. Honestly bark sounds like something that would be awful for parents mental health. Do you really want to know what your kids are doing? At 10-15 we (girls included) we were trying to be as offensive as possible on the internet.

When I was planning my San Francisco wedding, I told any supplier where it was feasible that I was having a family gathering, not a wedding.

(But the most important part of economically hosting a wedding is to not hire a wedding planner, it’s like their whole job is to separate you from your money. It’s a surprising amount of work to do everything yourself, but it’s the difference between a $5000 wedding and a $20,000 wedding)
Yeah, this bothers me too. Why would you bring someone you love so much to this crazy, doomed, hellhole of a planet? It seems fantastically short-sighted and selfish to me to have children right now (and for the foreseeable future.)

I don't want kids in large part because I do not think I would be a good dad, and I'm not going to do that to another human being, even (especially!) if they share my DNA. But the main reason I see for foregoing children is that I would be handing them a terrible world without hope of salvation. (We might pull through, and I hope we do, but I have no basis for that hope other than faith, and that not enough to justify incarnating a new soul.)

I can't imagine explaining to my child what the monarch butterfly migration was like. What elephants were. What reefs were. What the dawn chorus sounded like.

Nicely put. That's going into my "how to explain parenting" quotes right alongside "it doesn't get easier, just a different kind of difficult"
I always thought it would be incredibly hard to have a child with difficulties like yours. I teach a gymnastics club once a week and have an autistic kid there and instead of being problem she is one of the most rewarding ones to teach (in the limited time I have to spend with her). I’m not in any way a good teacher, but I’m learning a lot from her and actually get a lot out of it myself. I’m sure it’s much harder full time, but in the end it’s just the same challenge all parents have, to try and prepare your kids for life and hopefully give them a happy life.
