> It's more likely that US low turnout is because, for many voters in many elections, their vote is kinda meaningless. If you live in California or Texas your vote in a presidential election is meaningless, say, and probably also in a senate election.

It's not like votes in state/municipal elections are higher, and in fact they are lower. (Governors' elections are very significant on meat-and-potatoes issues like transportation, etc., and routinely get 45-50% turnout.)

> Depending on your district, your vote in a house election is probably also meaningless; most are not competitive.

But why aren't they competitive? Because most people agree with the status quo. There is no point showing up to reaffirm the status who that you're happy with.
Tips that have helped me:

- Anytime you find a UI or mechanic you like while on the web, take a screenshot of it and save it

- Pick a palette from flatuicolors.com; congratulations, just use this forever (forever until you've gotten better at design to change)

- Make a logo with Photoshop, GIMP, or whatever graphics program you have using that above color palette

- If you have the time, sign up for Daily UI (dailyui.co) and and practice making mockups. Even if you're trying to learn front end web development, this will let your creative juices practice.

- Keep going! Everything you make on day one will suck, or look super cookie-cutter Bootstrap-y. So what, each time you make something, you'll hate a small piece of it and so when you make the next thing, you'll try to fiddle with that detail.

There are probably (much) better ways to get better at design, but this was the path I took and while I'm not going to be making a massive application for clients, what I have makes for pleasant looking visuals for my students and tools

Carry one as well. This is obviously anecdotal and may be because of the people I hang around with but everyone I know who carries also never hikes without a bunch of other standard safety kit and is very experienced.

I suspect that being willing to buy a $200 beacon means you're aware enough of the risks and of what safety gear is out there to seek extra protection when possible.
Quote: "The conversations aren’t ideal ..."

Hi Tenoke, you got it wrong. It will never be ideal, no matter what. And I think the opposite, those examples are actually quite ideal, you see yourself from different perspective in the same way everybody reacts to hearing their voice. You sound to you different then what people around you hear. You just "heard" your AI, as crude as you think it is, for the 1st time. Thank you for this, don't mind if I grab everything you did and do it for myself as well. This is going to be fun!
There are plenty of technical and expert subreddits which police low-value comments just as well as HN. It's simply not the case that Hacker News, with its one or maybe two moderators, does a better job of moderation than every single subreddit.

I'm actually a bit less unsettled now that Plaid is part of Visa. I use my credit card for 99.9% of purchases, so Visa already knew almost everything I purchased. Now I can use Plaid without giving yet another company data about myself. I'm still deeply uncomfortable with typing my banking credentials into anything other than my bank's website though.
We did this too, all the time. Never thinking about the implications. Then suddenly it's 10 years later, social media has become one of the dominant global communications channels and it turns out this vulnerability can be used not just for funny pranks, but also to get people thrown in jail or even killed.

It's uncanny how young people have a razor-sharp nose for weaknesses in the fabric of society, often without even realizing it.

Tech pays even better than pro sports. But if you want to be paid like LeBron James, you need to start a tech company, not just to go work for Google.
Not just governments. I worked at a F100 company that had a special type of internal funding called SQP for spending on (mostly) IT people-hours on projects. Year after year, the biz would penny-pinch on their SQP to the point that we struggled to keep core contractors on staff. Then around Oct/Nov, biz would come to us begging to spend their SQP on anything (else they could lose it next year) as long as that project stop billing at fiscal year end (not a day afterwards; as that would be charged to next year's SQP). That meant we now struggled because we didn't have enough people on staff to burn up all the SQP. Famine then feast! I would suggest (half jokingly) that we should head over to the nearest retirement home and get a bus load of old folks to join us at $150/hr for two months to just sit there doing nothing but burn SQP.

I'm still on v4, it works great and I had to pay for it once. I know the model is subscriptions these days and $7/mo ($84/annual purchase) really is nothing in the big picture but it still bugs me. Looking through their release notes it doesn't appear that there has been major improvements in the budgeting aspect of the software. If you've used v4 is it worth it?

Good lord, four years in to the fascist Trump administration, and people continue to blame the two party system.

The problem isn't the two-party system, it's the fascist bloc that supports a fascist party within that system. The feeling of alarm over the rise of a fascist political party is not an artifact of "polarization", it's an appropriate response to the lessons of history.

This is doubly/triply/quadrupley difficult for those of us with ADHD; I've spent years working on meditation, and I only get glimpses of silence; and that's only on the best of days. To take a medical condition such as ADHD and say, "hooboy, everyone gets distracted" is to entirely dismiss what those of us with it are dealing with. It's not just sometimes I get distracted; it's nearly all the time I get distracted if I am not bringing my 'A' game to even the simplest of tasks - without exacting intentionality there's no chance I'll have the left-over neurons to even think about being in the present.

So, it doesn't just take intentionality, as most people can clip off daydreaming or rabbithole trains of thought with minimal friction, but for many of us with ADHD the act of attempting to break the "distraction cycle" can essentially have the opposite effect, or just left turn us into another avenue of distraction. I know for myself, there's an anxiety that builds when actively (we can't passively quiet our brains) attempting to quiet my brain; as the doubt builds as you find it more and more difficult to step away from your racing brain and into the now. This becomes a self defeating cycle which is difficult to steer out of when attempting something like meditation.

Amazon's reaction seems quite defensive, and constantly keeps reminding us how Microsoft is seen as the better overall provider to be trusted in this case. Tech wise they are both capable, no doubt.

I think Amazon should have just acknowledged it, congratulate Microsoft and move on - plenty of other growth ahead in cloud computing. That's what Satya Nadella would have done.
Good news for farmers that don't want to have to worry if the tiny creek on their property drains into a river system. Not so good news for fisherman who lose catches to algae blooms from farm runoff.
Most angle investors are either about to lose their shirt, or very lucky or very smart (it's hard to tell the difference between those last two). They usually can only do a few deals before they're spent out. Then they wait to either get 100 times their money or nothing.

They're sort of like guys buying lottery tickets, except the ticket costs more than most houses.

Vc Funds are plying the same game but on an industrial scale. So they get more average returns. Maybe better on average but maybe not for their investors as fees eat into that.

An angle with very deep pockets is probably more like a mini VC fund than an angle. They'll hire people to find and vet investments and maybe pool capital to spread costs and risks.
There's a dead comment at the bottom that I'm surprised is dead since it echoes the same thought I have.

Seems oddly sexiest, why? Obviously a MenMake version would be unacceptable but this is? —mraudiobook_com

I recognize the need to empower more women in general, especially coming from a country ranked 151 out of 153 countries on the Global Gender Gap Index Report 2020[0]. And I see that you've put a lot of hard work building this and it looks really good.

That said, is building a community where one class of gender is prioritized over another healthy? How is it better than a MenMake?

In my country, it's perfectly legal for employers to write "preference will be given to female [or male] candidates" or for businesses to create services specifically for a gender, like female drivers in ride-sharing services for female passengers. I find these to be well-meaning but ultimately sexist polices making it okay to treat people differently based on gender, which it already is here, sadly.

I also recognize that this is your own community and you're free to do with it as you wish, so please don't interpret this comment as a demand or anything. I'm just trying to understand something better myself.

>set a goal in front of you that you emotionally care about, and then let you achieve it step by step through wits and skill.

This reminds me of the concept of achieving a flow state. Find a meaningful goal that forces you to be focused while on the cusp of exceeding your skill level. One that is both creative and allows you to progressively increase your abilities. That seems to be an integral part of finding purposeful "work" that helps one find purpose. I also think this is why people are drawn to "craftsman" type hobbies like woodwork, brewing, and programming.

I use both on iOS. I generally open in Focus because it actually tends to be stricter. I find that if I open something in Focus I can, from there open in Firefox if blocking is too strict and sometimes it works. Another plus to using Focus, if a site is completely broken, I can just disable all blocking and not worry much about it because nothing gets persisted when I leave and blocking is automatically re-enabled the next time around.

Same workflow is pretty much possible without it, but it does make ephemeral browsing a bit easier.

> uneducated people making bad decisions on investments

Generally, you have to be an accredited investor to invest in a VC fund, and funds aren't really allowed to advertise, so it's not easily available to most people. The post-2008 JOBS Act made it easier to regular investors to angel-invest, but I haven't heard tons of popping up from it yet.

I'm more worried about pension funds investing in PE and VC.

Everything you are saying makes sense if you are talking about controlling the defaults of the software maintained/installed by the package. That's not what is happening here.
I can't believe that someone actually used my TPU fork of gpt-2 to train 1.5B for months. That was the goal when I made it, but I'm shocked someone actually put in the legwork to do it.

Absolutely. IMO this exacerbates the existing problem.

That’s quite interesting. I’ve used DNS Cloak in the past, but I’ve never tried the blacklists or whitelists. How would one get started with it? I mean, from what sources would one populate it and how?

They do the same thing to the US: They force you to call them.

> Short term reward seems to overrule long term planning and goals if the outside pressure is not there and we have a choice.

Short term reward overrules long term planning on the opposite extreme of situation also: when you have to struggle to make it through the next day, which is a situation that many still face today. And operating on a short term reward basis for long enough ends up cementing that way of thinking, whether you are doing it as a result of comfortable boredom or persistent struggle.

IMO, there is a Goldilocks zone of balanced security and still unfulfilled needs wherein people are incentivized to think longer term with respect to both themselves and society.
There is a lot packed into the pay for search and rescue model. One of the last things I want someone to be doing in an emergency situation is to be thinking can I afford help right now or should I just try harder to get off this cliff with a broken ankle. Then there is the question of what really is the cost. If a helicopter is involved frequently the operation cost if figured in, but these in the US are almost always military helicopters and they count these operations towards training hours. I would much rather have those hours spent to helping someone in danger than burning fuel for no emergency.
Voting by mobile is extremely problematic and shocking.

1. No paper record.

2. No privacy.

A better way would be to use anonymous physical RFID pebbles that are placed in a container to indicate voting preference. Votes can be both weighed and scanned for counting redundancy very quickly.

Mail-in voting would consist of mailing back the pebble chit in an outside return envelope with an inner vote envelope designating the preference; the outer envelope is removed and mixed with many others before sorting.

Then later, no matter how a vote was cast, it's possible to find how a vote was counted (by the voter searching for the RFID code(s) they used) in real-time because all votes were mass-scanned in RFID containers... that is, there will be a number of large containers that contain all votes for a particular preference in a particular election. Subsequent elections reuse the RFIDs to eliminate waste. No hanging chads, no provisional ballots, no hacked voting machines and no voting by mobile.
Yeah the PIN would have been a smart choice. They already have mail-in ballots which means they could just as easily be given a PIN on the ballot they already receive.
