Credit Card referral was/is a big business. I remember personal finance bloggers were making $50 dollar for each referral. If mint can convince each customer to get a new card every year, it will be a 500 million dollars business. It is not huge but a sustainable business.
There we have to distinguish between dishonesty and a lie. A deliberate construction on the spot might not survive multiple angles, this is the basis of interrogation rooms after all, anyone will trip themselves up repeating versions over and over again.

What won't necessarily find the light of day is deception, a pattern of behavior. A drug dealer might get caught up in where he was or who he was with at a given time on a given date, but he'd have to be intellectually impaired to admit he was a professional criminal for a living.

The first iteration of healthcare.gov cost $1B iirc and it was a broken mess. The task was herculean but no doubt a lot of that money filled bureaucrat pockets. The public sector, and contractors just don't attract top talent like the private does, nor are they spearheaded by people who earned their position.
I think the original Quicken is in good hands. Eric Dunn, the CEO of the new company maintaining and enhancing the original version of Quicken, has a long and successful history with Quicken. His involvement with Quicken goes back to 1985, just one year after Scott Cook and Tom Proulx founded Intuit. Having some of the original leaders guiding Quicken again is a hopeful sign that it will remain relevant on the desktop.

> Ever spent a day off staring at a wall dreading the possibility that you might waste a day until you realize the sun has gone down? Yup, so much fun.

This is literally every Saturday for me. I'm thinking about keeping my Ritalin by my bed. I don't understand why it's so difficult and it makes me really frustrated - I just can't get out of bed. I try to wake up and my mind goes "naw". I sit up to get out of bed, sit there for 40 minutes, and still can't get myself to get out of bed. Stare at my Pillow, some reddit posts, another 45 minutes are gone.

Now it's 2pm, I've wasted half the day. My depression tells me it's because I'm a lazy piece of shizzle.

Ive had both for forever, and I dread the day I need to export all my custom categorizations and reinput them into pc. And ill lose all my budget vs actual data. If you were just starting out now, Im not sure what id recommend, because mint still does some things better (maybe im just more familiar with) than pc. But in a strict sense, pc is lightyears ahead of mint. I might have some stockholm syndrome.

Thanks for the info on ADHD / basal ganglia and cerebellum. I was not aware of this.

It should be noted though that the study authors were pretty clear that the correlation is unclear given that untreated ADHD sufferers had a 2.5-fold increase in the same diseases.

> Researchers postulated that the association between psychostimulant use and BG&C diseases may be a result of a more severe ADHD phenotype, rather than a direct pharmacological effect.
They'll probably be promoted if they just play the politician or lobbyist. They could give any reason at all and pretend it's justified by various basic buzz words like "protecting the consumer" and citing recent stories about counterfit products. Basically, inflate the danger to consumers from counterfits and confuse them with bullshit marketing lingo about knowing what's best for your customers. This strategy might work for those Washington SB 4799 hearings, those lobbyists I've seen giving their comments are incredibly slimy and good at evading actual concerns consumers have.
There are weird indicators of recession in segments of the economy already. But new monetary policy is containing the problems so far.

Predicting recessions is a losers game though. In that the large majority of predictions are wrong but eventually a recession happens. Most people's predictions are based on bad analyses.
Agreed. I don't know what they did but having to consistently re-categorize rent payments from whatever nonsense they were auto-categorized as killed it. Automation is great when it doesn't get things comically wrong.
> Unless it happens to magically coincide with their hyper-focus topic of the moment!

It's funny. People with ADHD suffer from attention deficit but at the same time they display hyperattention when they encounter a subject they like. I've experienced it as well: once I start programming I have no problem doing it for 12 hours straight. I've found this trait in many ADHD patients. There's usually something that really turns them on and I always try to find it.

I think of it as an signal/noise ratio problem. Very high signal is needed to grab their attention and there is very low tolerance for noise.
You have a point there, but it's far, far from being so clear-cut.

Privileged ports is a measure to guarantee that daemon listening there was started with root privileges. Which is a useful guarantee on a shared server, less so on a single-purpose or personal server.

Plus, if you have an sshd started at boot, and already listening on a pre-defined high port, there is very little chance another program could bind to the same port, save crashing and racing the daemon.

Finally, in ssh protocol, server authenticates itself to the client, so even if by some trickery a bogus ssh server would bind to the same port, it will either need to access /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*_key, which are enforced to be root-readable only, or risk being trivially detected by a client comparing presented public key to that saved from last login in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts.

There are also some DPI firewalls, or just port-based firewall that can block ssh traffic on a non-standard port, but assuming we are talking about your own server, that should be easy to rectify too.

Agreed! I've avoided using 3rd party budgeting apps because I can't bring myself to give them my banking credentials. This would be a much more secure solution. I'm hoping this ships with an API available to customers. I would be extremely happy with an endpoint to retrieve all of my transactions, at the very least.
It's much cheaper that way. If most fall in line in exchange for comfort, you don't need to pay for nearly as many boots on faces.

The irony that Edward Snowden also recommends Signal is so thick. Isn't this a gateway drug for other whistleblowers?
I agree with this although I think you don't even need such strong claims to justify the existence of such a community. All you need is the simple fact that there are a lot less women in tech than men, and that men and women face different challenges or experiences in society. Given these two indisputable facts, it makes a lot of sense to have a space where women can feel welcome and have their needs prioritised.

To give an analogy, I think that a community aimed at people in tech less than 5 feet tall, which prioritises contributions from those people, is equally justified. A community for people over 5 feet tall just... doesn't make sense... it would seem like it was just making fun of or excluding short people.
I'm one of those people who research low precision NNs. There's a trade off between network size and network precision, so to get binarized networks to work "reasonably well" you need to make them much larger in terms of weight count.

SNNs are not well suitable for existing silicon based process technologies. It's much more power efficient to perform GEMM computation in analog domain, using non-spiking voltage or current levels (e.g. memristor or floating gate transistor crossbars). A brain uses spikes because of very specific biological constraints. We use silicon, because it's extremely reliable, extremely fast, and very cheap. And it does not have those constraints which shaped brain evolution.

Brain simulation research is welcome, but the current SNN algorithms are just slightly less crude brain simplifications than regular ANNs. Using spikes in silicon to do ML computations does not make much sense, imo. I'd rather see neuroscientists focus on fundamental understanding of core brain algorithms, like what Numenta is trying to do.

What Happened to Spaghetti Code?
It's like a brain dump from my head. I can 100% identify with everything this guy says. I've been fighting this since I can remember, certainly over 20 years. I thought I was the only one who never looked at grades/feedback/whatever.

I'd probably be a CTO or a successful startup founder by now if I'd had a solution early in life. As it is I've done OK but it's always a struggle because work by its very nature is doing something you don't want to do because they're paying you... and doing something I don't want to do is very VERY hard. Almost impossible at times.

If you're a teenager or in your 20s, try and get some help now so you don't toil in futility for the next 20 years. Trust me.
> "You're an engineer, that's not a field that people with ADHD have any success like you in."

I knew a neurologist who had ADHD.
I am not a doctor and I did not diagnose them with anything. I stated that what they described sounded very similar (nearly identical) to my experience, initially with ADHD and then with DRD. I have updated the initial post with clarifying statements.

I don't intend to mislead anyone. However, I do want people to be aware of possible links between ADHD and other disorders so that they can evaluate their own situation and seek medical care if they would like to.

More to the point, my family has been misdiagnosed for decades, and this likely would have been avoided if we were more aware of other possible diagnoses.
I certainly do things now that I wouldn't have done before having ba smartphone. The most common thing is driving into the middle of nowhere without a backup plan. Usually it's fine.

I was going to buy it for 2 different people for christmas but both declined over privacy concerns as they read in the news they are being used in sweeping investigations. Given the number of wrongful accusations that litter history and the general trend away from any regard for privacy among security agencies this is a very legitimate concern, even for regular folks like my parents.
Interesting. This is probably a very subjective thing. IMO, this is analogous to selecting a keyboard. You can read all about the tactile feedback from a mechanical keyboard but it's different to find out which one "feels" right, also since I like "test driving" features for a bit and figure how to use it along the way I prefer the 'How' articles. However, I would love to read (and write) more about the 'Why?' behind the features as well.
I never heard of Wickr before this post.
Yeah, but I have a right to complain.

Microsoft pulls a consumer-hostile move, and the first thought of a lot of commenters on here (not just you) is, "what is the impact on Google?"

Who cares about the company? Stop messing with my computer behind my back.

200 years from now, someone on Mars will be reading the headline "Google Drones Lethally Injecting iPhone Owners On Sight", and there'll still be people on HN who's first reaction is to wonder whether or not that counts as anti-competitive towards Apple.

>If anything, this is a really good thing, as the utility of publicly available comms are embraced by government entities, it should somewhat guarantee that us consumers will also have access to this.

I largely agree with you but a more cynical take would be that it allows the following argument to be advanced:

"If the 82nd Airborne uses it, then it is a weapon of war. Why should civilians have access to the same communication equipment as a soldier needs in a time of war."

That is, they associate the technology with combat and the military. Then, they use that association as a way to argue the technology is only inherently useful for those planning to engage in combat.

It also allows governments to advance the argument that if it useful for our soldiers then it should be denied to enemy soldiers and thus it should be tightly controlled (see night vision googles[0] or cryptography as a weapon[1]).

I was diagnosed with ADHD around the 3rd grade (2 separate psychiatrists diagnosed me) and have never heard about diets as working above all others. Are there any studies or information about this route or is it perhaps changing your eating behavior allowed you to do those same things with other parts of your life?
Hm, what is the point? It feels like you're saying it's not my business and I am not even allowed to understand it. If you know some anwsers please share it to me and believe me I won't ask it over and over again once I get it.
Nor coffee or other "normalized" liquid stimulants. The coffee sweet-spot-of-productivity is so difficult to attain, or even find. Is it even worth experimenting with if other avenues have failed?

It would be interesting to hear the author's thoughts on this, and on alcohol.

EDIT: ...and on exercise.
Don't know about questions, but there are couple of answers I have learned to be serious red flags:

1. Yes, I understand. (with no further elaboration or clarifying questions)
2. It's okay/good/going well (again, with no further elaboration when asking how something is going/set up etc)

First one typically translates to something between "I have a completely unfounded illusion of understanding" and "I have no clue but don't dare to say it"

Second one translates typically to "I have no clue whatsoever"
This. I will always advise people to avoid medication for ADHD and major depression if they possibly can, not because I have a moral problem with it, but because I've yet to find one case where it was sustainable long-term. (bipolar/schizophrenia/BPD are a different matter. Quite possibly because the medications aren't stimulants).
That isn't really true though. You aren't some kind of clone of your parents. Imagine that both of your parents sit down at a table. Each one has 100 dominoes in front of them. Each parent will randomly take 50 of their dominoes and put them in the center of the table. Those are your 100 dominoes. It could be that your mother has 20 "scottish" dominoes, but not a single one of those dominoes are in the set given to you. You might look at your mother's dna results and say "I'm 20% scottish!" No you're not. You got zip from the scottish side of the family.

The way I've come to describe it with my therapist is that it feels like, internally, I have 12 different brains. All of them are constantly scanning around, interested in different things, making it very hard to focus on one thing, but conversely making me very good at understanding a thing as a whole.

The other part of this analogy is that when there is something that grabs my interest, it grabs it with all 12 brains and I bury myself in that interest until I burn out after a few hours.

I find that ADHD makes me a very good architect and a very bad regular programmer.

I think while English is really tough to speak perfectly, it's pretty easy to muddle through. "It suhrengz is" that you can drop all inflections, butcher pronunciations, and ignore the chaotic spelling, and still be able to communicate pretty reliably.

The forth way of doing that is even simpler:

- generate a call to a subroutine LITERAL
- store the characters of the string directly after that call
- pad to the ‘word’ size

LITERAL does:

- pop the return address from the call stack
- from that address, compute the address of the literal
- push it to Forth’s data stack
- adjust the return address to point beyond the literal
- push the adjusted return address
- return from subroutine

And of course, this being Forth, you can define such words yourself (https://www.forth.com/starting-forth/11-forth-compiler-defin... (an excellent site, by the way))

A caring innovator is very easily crushed by a platform monopolist.

That's been a common suggestion in tech for years, but I'm not sure it stands up to scrutiny.

Right now, we do most of our graphics work with "young upstarts" like the Affinity suite, because Adobe went all user-hostile and subscription-based. Previously we'd been Creative Suite users.

Every service used to collect payments by every business I have is from the newer generation, not the big banks or PayPals of the world.

We didn't move to Windows 10 but instead we've been experimenting with various other desktop platforms and other devices according to our needs. Previously we were mostly using Windows 7 PCs.

We don't do a lot of "traditional" office document preparation ourselves any more, and the various OSS packages are fine for the occasional spreadsheet or whatever. But among our professional network, there is a lot of use of online collaboration and documentation tools now, and I can hardly think of anyone we work with regularly who is still using MS Office as their main tool for this kind of work.

Basically, at this point, we typically keep a single machine around with a genuine copy of whatever big name software we used to use, for guaranteed compatibility and/or testing purposes, but the 800lb gorillas of the software world have mostly been eliminated from our day-to-day workflows now. Smaller, more flexible businesses like ours certainly are moving away from the traditional monopolies, even if the huge enterprise deployments are slower to do so.
The problem is then what do you do with low voter turnout? The article says that this election has in previous years resulted in <1% of eligible voters. That is clearly untenable.
