My (probably ironic) interaction with their design:

1. Quick skim of the start. <thought>This looks interesting, and even worth saving for later detailed review</thought>

2. I go to save the page. Search box opens and starts filling out with the name of the directory I was pre-typing to save into.

3. <thought>I must have clicked unintentionally. Or mis-hit the tab key? Strange; I don't recall it. Try again.</thought>

4. Same result.

5. ?!$$@?. Test to be sure.

6. Confirmed. <thought>They have bound cmd-s to give the search box focus instead of allowing the user to save (seemingly unintentionally; ie due to 's' being pressed without recognising that a modifier key was also pressed)!</thought>

7. Cmd-W. Window closes. Not saved.

8. <thought>Nope, they didn't also overload 'w'</thought>

I will not take pointers from a site that messes up UX as badly as this. Anything I don't recall from a quick skim is not going to be worth using.

Wait until you hear about cars!

Fortunately for the big corporations, most people lack even the most basic mechanical skills and are totally reliant upon others to do even trivial maintenance. Thus almost everything is becoming disposable because it's cheaper to throw something away than it is to pay a technician to fix it, parts notwithstanding. Car makers are really hoping the EV thing sticks so they can force you to buy a brand new car every 5-6 years once the battery is toast.
Purchasing with debt is pretty standard in finance, so I don't think there's anything useful in that factoid. ...also, if I controlled .org, I would also want to remain anonymous - there are crazy people out there on the internet.

I think the underlying problem is that this is being allowed at all. domains that we've registered as .org and hence expected non-interference with, are now under the control of a private corporation.
I completely agree. I used vanilla Emacs for about a decade before finding list-packages. (I know, I know. I was really behind.) But stuff like org-mode never clicked for me. I had to sit down with the manual and read it to finally get a handle on what it is.

I'm currently drafting an essay on what makes org-mode compelling, rather than how to use it. I think I'll do the same for other tools I use.

Could we have a "Men of Irish Descent" group? I suspect that would cause all kinds of cries of racism and sexism.

There's this strange sort of argument that some groups (men, white people, cis people, thin people, etc) have some kind of ephemeral power and therefore should be denied certain privileges like forming exclusive groups - but these privileges are ok for some other people. That's not equality in any sense of the word.
It's a joke:

I encountered this system at a Disney resort hotel a long time ago.

The explanation I read back then was that they used to sell souvenir mugs with free refills for the duration of the stay. But guests would come back the next year with their mugs and abuse the system by taking more refills without paying for another visit.

So the RFID mug system enables the dispenser for the time duration of the guest visit (day, week, whatever). But now that means the dispenser also has to able to fill paper cups with single servings since the dispenser can't tell what is under the nozzle - a mug or a one-shot cup.

So now the paper cups have RFID in them and that's how we got to where we are.

The Underdog Framework
Procrastination is not a problem. Having to go to school and listen to dimwits recite largely useless information for 12 years and demand that you memorize it is demoralizing.

It should be demoralizing, because it's bullshit and it's not what you want to be doing.

The key takeaway is that if you don't become excellent at something that society appreciates (will pay good money for), the remainder of your life will be spent with dimwits at work.

The solution to being in a shitty situation is seeing a clear path out, not pills and blog articles.
> A lot of times people use IPs because DNS is not available or is more complex to set up.

For the rare cases where a memorized IPv4 address was reasonable you should just assign simple IPv6 addresses ending in a short suffix like ::1. The prefix can be 64 bits or less, which isn't too much to remember, and will be the same for the entire network.

> For example, I can remember some network prefixes and know whether they are in building A or building B. IPv6 makes that much, much more difficult.

Nothing prevents you from assigning visually distinctive prefixes to different buildings. The larger address space actually makes this much easier. For example, you could use xxxx:yyyy:zzzz:a::/64 for every host in building A.
Thanks for this, I’m going to have to look into that research
The 'color computer' was not sold as a business machine as much as the rest of the TRS80 line was.

You might be interested in Why Trust Science? by Naomi Oreskes, who tries to answer a related question: how do we do science in a 'post-truth' period, where the tactics of postmodern critique are being taken up by climate change deniers, tobacco companies, etc?

I have only read the beginning, but chapter one gives a very good overview of the history of critique that got us to this place. Oreskes suggests that it is possible to hold a critical, social constructivist position while also demanding a good scientific practice that will produce trustworthy knowledge.

Do you have sources for any of these claims about dopamine? No offense intended, and I agree that the common interpretation of dopamine as the "pleasure chemical" is wrong and oversimplifying, but much of what you're saying sounds a bit "just so" to me.
Moxie Marlinspike (owner of the world's greatest name) is the lead of the Signal project is often described as an anarchist (as in this wired article: https://www.wired.com/2016/07/meet-moxie-marlinspike-anarchi..., which is better than it's headline).

He is not, in truth, an anarchist. He is a crypto-zealot, most definitely eccentric, and opposed to a lot of government intrusion. In today's world, I guess that's an anarchist
Ive been diagnosed with ADHD since I was in 2nd/3rd grade and have been on Ritalin and now Adderall pretty much the whole time. That article sounds exactly like my experience. This morning I have been avoiding working on a project, and I caught myself staring at my computer with my hands ready but I just couldn't start. I do feel that it is my ADHD, but I also feel that there are other emotions involved. It kind of relates to this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22124489.

My main piece of advice that I write on every post about ADHD is the following: Get plenty of sleep, exercise, and look into meditating. Using the Waking Up app by Sam Harris has really taught me so much more than I was expecting. For the first time last year I went 3 months without medicine. I wanted to gauge how strong my attention/focus muscle was without medicine. At the end of 3 months I was able to start noticing when I was distracted or in my head and that was such a be improvement for me, because it allowed me to start paying attention again. I also noticed how I was communicating with myself. I went from being negative towards myself because I knew i should be paying attention. To understanding where my mind is at that day and knowing that today might be a harder day than yesterday, but that is okay. Just take it one step at a time.

TLDR: Exercise & Meditation. Mindfulness will help keep you present and away from the endless mind games you can experience with ADHD
> ... functioning EPIRB if you are on open waters.

A more nuanced question is on what to have on one's life jacket: an AIS-based system allows for the boat you just fell off of to know that (a) you're gone, and (b) where you're bobbing around at.

If you end up being blown away, or are doing a solo crossing, then a PLB may be better.
For context, I've been diagnosed with ADHD and this article resonates with me a lot, and I also related to the other article. But I'm no neuroscientist and it's possible my understanding is flawed

I don't think this is inherently contradictory. ADHD isn't _just_ a neurochemical imbalance (and imbalance is weird because that 'balance' differs from person to person (and characterizing all neurological issues as chemical imbalances is a bit reductionistic) ). ADHD is also characterized by an under-developed prefrontal cortex, which is the region of the brain responsible for executive function.

More directly addressing your point, as far as I understand, emotions are largely just temporary changes in the availability of your neurotransmitters/your neurochemical balance. So yeah, sure, procrastination is an emotional thing, which is just minor changes in your neurology.

Ultimately, ADHD is kinda characterized by the Severity of these neurochemical changes and, more specifically how they affect behavior. It's a label for behavior, and also a number of traits that result in that behavior, but not a Thing in and of itself, if that makes sense.

In other words, saying it's both isn't inherently contradictory, cuz ADHD also has an "emotional" component to it. You could argue that the emotional part is a symptom or side effect.
I recommend "Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder" by Edward Hallowell and John Ratey (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18712223-driven-to-distr...). I discovered this book thanks to HN and a post about dyslexia. The book shows quite a few stories of adults with AD(H)D and how do they cope with work and relationships. The stories are diverse (it is certainly not all ill-behaved boys), and give a point of reference.

I wished I had known that book before. I got diagnosed only the last year, being 33 years old. Before turning 30 I hadn't suspected having ADHD, as I had quite a few misconceptions both about the condition, and what is "typical" in humans.

Legally speaking, yes. AFAIK the only one of those terms that carries any legal requirements is "free-range," which is defined only for poultry, and the requirement there is literally just "has had access to the outside," without any stipulations on how much of its life that access applied to or what "outside" means (so, for example, a small patch of pavement behind the factory is totally free-range).
Yeah, you are.

So when you're talking to someone who lost a beautiful person in their life because someone else decided they were fine driving after a night out of drinking, you can realize how arbitrary and random life really is.
Technically no, it wont. But if you find a nice employee you can typically get it activated for multiple days (and pay for it). Reactivations are fairly cheap considering how many fillups you get.

You can use the cup any other visit as well, although I heard they've switched it up where the older cups no longer work - which is insane if true since it's the same tech. Guessing if it's true they want to have everyone buy a new cup.

I think you're misunderstanding the nature of what I'm proposing.

You don't sign a hash of the URL or the page. You sign a URL of the content. If the content changes, your signed hash will no longer match, and the like no longer validates, which is exactly the point--your like isn't intended to apply to all future things the page owner could possibly put on that page, it's intended to apply only to the content that is there.

And personally, I'd never intentionally like an ad anyway. In general, ads causing things to lose all likes if they inject them into the content would be a good thing, because it would force advertisers to differentiate dynamic ads from content.

EDIT: I see you edited to clarify your other post, so my post here doesn't really apply any more. I've responded to that post directly.
I take a suite of medications for symptoms like this and never felt the need to advertise or hide it, and never experienced stigma although I have the mindset that leads me to not even notice negative cues (a mixed blessing).
It has them, but I have to say it is a _slog_ to use them compared to early-days Mint. If USAA could give them a coat of polish and a speed boost then I'd drop Mint wholesale.

Specifically I wanted a stacked bar chart so I could see spending over time broken out by category. So if I had a spike, I could see "oh, I bought a plane ticket that week" and I could toggle categories on and off, and just have a graph with, say, groceries and fast food over time. Excel makes this reasonably easy to do, but you can't do it at all in Mint.

One day I will throw it into an instance of http://redash.io and have more fluent access to the data, since I write SQL-backed graphs in my actual job I'm much better with it than Excel.
Reminded me of Phillip K. Dick's "Ubik", where the door refuses to open for free:

The door refused to open. It said, "Five cents, please."

He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. "I'll pay you tomorrow," he told the door. Again it remained locked tight. "What I pay you," he informed it, "is in the nature of a gratuity; I don't have to pay you."

"I think otherwise," the door said. "Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt."

...he found the contract. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.

"You discover I'm right," the door said. It sounded smug.
...What? Their post seemed very reasonable. This seems like a valid concern.
It was even better than that, if my recollection is correct. Those computers came with a very readable BASIC tutorial book at no extra charge (at least for the CoCo 1 and 2).

I can't speak for everyone, but regularly exercising and eating healthier foods reduced my need to take my ritalin as often. When I first started taking it, I had to take a dose every 2 hours to stay on track. Once I started eating healthier and doing ~1 minute of exercise every hour, I can comfortably go 3-4 hours between doses. I still function much better when I take my medication, but as long as I eat healthy and exercise, I don't feel useless without it.

> I wonder how Chrome got so far ahead, not in market share but in features and quality

"features" and "quality" are subjective metrics. Win the marketshare and you win the mindshare. It's a big part of why the browsers wars have always been monopolistic. The best browser is always just the one "everyone uses". Even its bugs/quirks/oddities become "features" that other browsers need to support, have to "catch up" on, get encoded into standards eventually as "the way it has always been".
A benefit of "socialized medicine", provided the government is not corrupt, is that medical practice can be evidence driven. E.g. compare rates for wisdom teeth extraction and tonsillectomy between the US and UK.
Trump attacked Amazon because of business; he seems to think Amazon is profiting from the US taxpayers' money.

Now Amazon has a strong financial incentive to go to court in this case as winning can lead to potentially securing a 10b$ contract. Whereas losing costs maybe some millions?

The logical reaction should be to analyze the problem and try to suss out the cause. Unfortunately, the cause seems to be a widening wealth/income gap creating a segregated society and a lack of stable and supportive families on the lower income end. The solution to that, a long term initiative to change culture and create stable families and wealth transfers, is politically impossible, so the next best, easiest thing one can suggest is more funding for the schools.
