Hi HN. Over the last 4 months I have collected 380,000 attempts to guess a number on my Amazon Alexa Skill, and wanted to share with the community. Would love to see what you can do with the data!
>Trump has said that he would like a third term. I don't know of any Americans that are actually OK with this.

Boy, we must not hang out in the same bars.
So, the mood swing thing was something I didn't identify with ADHD until I saw it mentioned in a book called "Driven to Distraction". I can't remember the exact details, but I think in the first few pages the author talks about a patient who was often getting in arguments with his boss or spouse and losing his temper in frustration, and I guess what I took from it was that a lot of his emotional instability was either a symptom of ADHD or stemming from his inability to focus.

In regards to your comment about shortened temper on stimulants, I think this is very normal and expected, and I have experienced the same at times. I don't know how to explain it, but I think overall I'm more agreeable than I was before I was medicated. This might be an age thing; I honestly don't know. Maybe I just grew out of it (I was the kid who threw tantrums lol).
This reminds me of troubles I used to have falling asleep if anyone was making any noises nearby (I would get very annoyed at the fact that I was startled, which would make it even harder to fall asleep, in a terrible feedback loop). I think I managed to improve eventually, using the 'Paradoxical intention' technique that Viktor Frankl talks about in Man's Search for Meaning.
I never heard about this since reading two articles today (one here and one on Reddit). And I think that this thins explains perfectly every aspect of my personality.

Yes, me too I didn't read all the article, as I skipped around parts in articles, books, and similar stuff.
Nothing built today is going to last 40 years. Value engineering has ensured that it's going to fail eventually one way or another.
> I'm very confident that I'm not alone with this position.

You are not alone. There are plenty of services I pay to eschew ads. The moment they start inserting advertising, they'll lose me as a customer. I don't have cable, don't listen to FM or AM radio, and I don't have satellite radio, all because they have ads.
> One example from early in the book: Even otherwise compatible romantic partners can be rendered miserable by a big difference in sex drives

How is this a supporting fact? This just proves that supposedly well-intentioned medical interventions can wreck havock in other areas.

Doctors seems to want to medicalize normality at every turn. They've done so with disastrous consequences. We have more people with mental health issues than ever in this country, with the burden getting bigger every day.

This is aside from the fact that the supposed guilds that should be working to help us act more like cartels trying to drug us, lie to us, and corrupt our institutions at every turn.

If that sounds harsh - the offense is all on their side.
Capital gains tax generally only applies to assets that have been previously taxed as income. Equity grants whether to CEOs or normal employees alike are taxed as income at vesting time with subsequent gains taxed as capital gains. Capital gains taxes apply to both the rich and the poor, with the latter paying a whopping 0%.
It really is unfair to lump Kuhn in with Feyerabend. He was trying to document the historical process of scientific revolutions versus normal science. He was always resisted the broader inferences people have tried to draw from his work (something Horgan complains about in the article).
Do you intend for them to be able to reply, when you threaten them with legal action if they do?
No, that's lumping in a huge amount of genuine disagreement and curiosity into a throw away bucket because a certain perspective doesn't like them. Maybe people should look at having actual conversations and not trying to educate everyone.
It wasn't college for me, but the first IDE I used that seemed like a step up from vi and makefiles was Visual Age for Java. And man, that was a huge step up.
One for hardware engineering might be not considering the PCB itself. At higher voltages your double-sided FR-4 will become a capacitor, and at 100Mhz+ speeds you'll have EMI problems from 90-degree traces. It's easy to think that you can go from a perfboard and wires proof-of-concept to a PCB in a day, but once you hit higher than ~12V or 100Mhz it starts to feel like it's haunted.

These days, Magit is the only thing I consistently open Emacs for.
Evidence for dietary intervention is too weak to recommend it in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_and_attention_deficit_hyp...

That said, it's always possible that an intervention works well in a subgroup of high-responders (this can be true even if the particular intervention is a placebo, not that that's necessarily the explanation here), so everyone saying it works for them should probably keep it up.
What the docs wont tell you:
Phenethylamine
Look it up.
You’re doing the thing I talked about exactly! Our ability to chat with people in other parts of the world like we’re doing now is not at all what the original comment was talking about when they talked about reliance on others. Facebook and slack are not a substitute for community or family. That community needs to be strong because the fact that a small subset of all people have the ability to move to Nigeria isn’t at all evidence that we’ve got the freedom to just keep roaming about life until we find a group of people who just happen to provide everything we need.

In other words the fact that you CAN deploy capital and time to go to Nigeria hardly means we live in a world where you can shift the context of your life at will. Most people don’t even have a fraction of what it would require to do this.
I read recently that the university I attended has put a system like this in the dining halls.

Back when I went there 20 years ago, they’d sell a reusable cup for around $40 that got you 50 cent sodas all academic year long (it was otherwise maybe $2.50-$3 for a soda). You were on your honor to show your reusable cup at the cashier to be charged for a soda. As with the paper cups, you’d get free refills once you paid for a drink with your meal.

Now they sell a prepaid RFID cup that has a certain number of fills programmed into it. If you use them all, you can add more to your cup account.

Because you still need a chip to authorize the fountain either way, the disposable cups are also chipped and programmed to allow two fills before deactivating.

It seems like a wasteful money grab at a place where it costs north of $50K/year to get in the door.
Yes, you need bank collaboration and they don't want to share the data. Right now the only way to get it is web scraping, basically.

You could create a company that stores all your credentials for you, and they perform an OAuth layer, but then you have to trust them :)
Functional Programming fundamentally changed the way that I solve problems. It also changed my expectations for how code should be designed.

The concepts that influenced me the most were immutability and the power of mapping+filtering. Whenever I read a for/while loop now, I’ll attempt to convert it to the FP equivalent in my head so that I can understand it better.
Because they don't trade outside money - tgs and others like it only trade their founder/employee's money. They also enforce strict NDAs with all their employees and business counterparties (data vendors, prime brokers, etc).
It's not unheard of elsewhere, but it certainly isn't common for engineers and line level managers. 12 mo is longer than average probably, but for an exec role or a key position it's not uncommon to get a severance term that includes pay for non-compete months.
Spendee? Not sure if they expanded out of Europe finally.
I can think of 4 things:

1. Not being afraid to look at the code of the libraries that my main project depends on. It's a slow, deliberate process to develop this habit and skill. But more importantly, as you keep doing this, you will develop your own tactics of understanding a library's code and design, in a short amount of time.

2. Not worrying about deadlines all the time. Not a programming technique as such, but in a world of standups and agile, sometimes, you tend to work for the standup status. Avoiding that has been a big win.

3. (Something new I've been trying) Practicing fundamentals. I know the popular opinion is to find a project that you can learn a lot from, but that may not always happen. Good athletes work on their fundamentals all the time - Steph Curry shoots like > 100 3 point shots everyday. I'm trying to use that as an inspiration to find some time every week to work on fundamentals.

4. Writing: essays, notes. In general, I've noticed I gain more clarity and confidence when I spend some time writing about a subject. Over time, I've noticed, I've become more efficient in the process.
> What innovation?

This is a question that possibly can't be answered if it's illegal to experiment with it from the get-go. Off the top of my head, it could be used for thought-provoking art installations; perhaps one that utilizes facial recognition to derive the viewer's emotions and let the procedural art change accordingly.

> that's already mostly illegal tracking

Yes, GDPR's a great step in the right direction. It's stopping a lot of the corporate surveillance. Right now the EU needs to keep an eye that their governments are also subjected to the same level of restrictions, which are currently not if its ends are for "national security" or similar reasons.
In my city I see women conferences, in my work I see women events and women supporting each other and on the internet I see women communities. I am a man but don't think of myself as a man more than as a person. This thought process is a privilege of course but I do end up feeling left out.
> What is it with this all-or-nothing attitude?

It's indicative of a lack of respect for their users.

> GA provides objectively superior data and they probably get a lot of value from it

That's certainly true. Also, that's orthogonal to the point. Being very valuable to website operators doesn't make its use any more acceptable to others.
As a consumer, how can I even tell if a can is using a coating and/or this coating? I had no idea the INSIDE wasn't aluminum with the 'usual' hydrogen ion layer.

"... sell its coating in the United States, branded as valPure V70. It has been used in 22 billion cans since 2017. That’s a modest fraction of the estimated 350 billion aluminum beverage cans and 100 billion steel food cans produced each year worldwide."

I'd prefer to use these cans over the BPA alternative.
> I studied this stuff a couple of years

Clearly didn't learn much then.

> in contrast to you I don't hide behind an anonymous account.

Why does this matter? You go on about how credentials and how authority shouldn't matter as long as the ideas are true, but when it's beneficial to you you're very content to use anonymity as a straw man.

But if it truly matters to you, I'm finishing up my PhD in Science and Technology Studies and Sociology of Scientific Knowledge.

edit: why was this flagged?
If you are using feather blades, get something that isn't sharper than a scalpel. If you aren't using feather blades, you are pushing to hard, in fact you shouldn't be pushing really at all.
have you thought of starting solo to begin? Why do you want partners so early on? I'm luck enough to have met a few at work that I might consider working with on businesses in the future if opportunities come, but those people are honestly quite rare. There are plenty of smart engineers I've met on the jobs that have 0 desire to run a business and enjoy stability, why go the route of resistance?

I have however started a non-tech related business on the side, don't know where this would take me but can say the least because I've started this business, I managed to meet some ambitious and risk-taking individuals, when you meet them you will know their mindset is very different from many of the folks you work with in the office, these people typically dare to lose and dare to dream.

Some game changers for me off the top of my head:

* Automated regression testing and build/deploy pipeline. The machine will do things quickly and repeatedly exactly the same way, given the same input conditions/data.

* TDD. Create tests based on requirements, get one thing working at a time, and refactor with a safety net.

* Mixing FP style and OO style programming to get the best of both worlds.

* Understanding type systems, and how to use types to catch/prevent errors and create meaningful abstractions.

* Good code organization, both in physical on-disk structure and in terms of coupling & cohesion.

* Validate all incoming data and fail fast with good error messaging.
Export it to excel / sheets and don't look back.

I started doing this a while ago because Mint only tracks the maximum account value for a particular month and doesn't let you modify historical data. So once or twice a year, something with an account would change and I'd end up with a month with a 70% or something jump in net worth which would drop off the next month.

Plus, you can do projections with excel.
If your bank supports it, Quickpay with Zelle is 10x easier than Venmo in my experience. And you don't have to leave your banking app
Can you please share a link? It would help a lot!
There's certainly a case here. If Barr goes forward with his nutty anti-encryption push, I hope the opposition uses this argument. Google lists definition #1 for "arms" as "weapons", and definition #2 of "weapons" as "a means of gaining an advantage or defending oneself in a conflict or contest."

I doubt any would argue that un-breakable (at least, theoretically) comms would provide no tactical advantage. If anyone would, I'd refer him to the second world war as a prominent example. This argument could help built a bi-partisan pro-cryptography group by pulling in support from the 2A crowd. I support cryptography remaining fully legal (even if classified as a munition or armament) for the same reason I support the 2A, practical security considerations aside.
I've been using Emacs for a very long time, and I do this on a fairly regular basis. I always used macros, but this function wins, hands down. Great job!
I like Emacs a lot, but it' definitely lacking most of the advanced IDE features, and the Emacs features that a decent IDE (read: Intellij) implement are usually "good enough" for me.

People who've been using only Emacs for the last 20 years are in no position to comment on IDEs
Learning generics and the streaming system in Java. There's a clear improvement in expressiveness and they minimize a lot of duplication and visual clutter.
23andme testing is one and done. Once you've had it you will never spend a dime with them. It's a red flag for any investor.
His share of the new company is likely to be worthless if his input would have made the company a success (assuming he wouldn't carry on working on it, and it would be really weird if he did.)

So this is really only about sending a message to other employees.
Wow, I had no idea the USA is so sparsely populated.

As someone from a purple region on that map (having lived near Aachen and Amsterdam), I can't imagine what it's like to be more than a few minutes driving away from the nearest occupied house or named road. The most alone I've ever been was probably in a German forest and that was almost certainly still within hearing distance from other people, if not immediately then almost certainly within 30 minutes of me wanting to reach someone.

Not sure if it would frighten me or if I'd be fine to be actually unreachable for a few hours.
Autoformatting (gofmt, prettier, etc). I can't believe how much time I was wasting having to manually indent, split lines etc.
Nah it’s like a rehab clinic that requires you to smoke while you read their brochures on why you should quit :)
Always having it open in a tab in a browser is a big one. Working mostly from Drive and not being almost out of space in the Colab's disk also helps. Make sure to not write over the same files too many times but use different filenames when writing - there are hidden quotas for "downloading/uploading" a file which you can hit.
I still got disconnects occasionally but not often near the end.

They might've also made it a bit more stable at some point, or I might have learned better how to avoid the Colab pitfalls, not sure.

You have basically the right idea, but I think you are missing something important.

ADHD is a "disorder", but it's root cause is intrinsic, genetic.

Different people are different. ADHD isn't about "being human", it's about being a certain type of human. Everyone is somewhat maladapted to the inhumane world that has been created, but people with personalities at certain extremes adapt much worse.

I "have ADHD". Most of my relatives have ADHD. I view the modern world as an act of aggression, as an attack. If I want to survive, and I want my descendants to survive, then the modern world must be destroyed.
It's a go to for dark market comms these days, but other than that, this is the first I've seen it mentioned on clear net.

I also didn't know it was closed-source and privately-owned in the U.S., which should have been a red flag for dark market users.
Its extremely important to get diagnosed by a professional if you do feel this way.

Un-Diagnosed ADHD can lead to a whole bunch of other life issues. Its nice to at least be aware of it.

To be clear, I think self-driving cars beat busses on quality of service. There simply isn’t a bus that exists that will take most people from where they are where they want to go. Dynamically generated routes beat fixed routes, because they get people to their destination. UberPool accomplishes the same thing, but uses more drivers per passenger than a bus, which leads to labor exploitation. Self-driving fixes that problem.

And no, I don’t want to shut down the busses. I’m describing why so few people are using them, and why self-driving cars have a better chance of success. In fact, I think self-driving is a necessary ingredient for a public transit system that meets everyone’s needs in the US. I think buses are a natural park of a self-driving network - a dynamic dispatch system can use them on the most in-demand routes.

Right now in America, the vast majority of people are driving solo to work. Even if self-driving vehicles merely double the capacity those vehicles handle, that seems enough to fix our transit problem.
This seems similar to tax brackets and anti-monopoly laws: the bigger the company, the more responsibilities it has.
What is the ‘paradoxical intention’?
What do you mean? Supersymmetry isn't falsifiable with current technology, as far as I know.
I agree on PC being much better in tracking investments and performance especially as net worth increases compared to mint. I have also found it to be more solid connection wise vs. Mint over the last year where mint has really gone downhill for me for some reasonwith many unresolved issues, whereas the PC support tickets I filed were resolved rather promptly. Not all is great, categorization and tagging of transaction is terrible, and you can't have sub categories, so if you need that, you need to use something else, which is not great.
> To see what content is popular, to see what countries users are coming from, to how long a given page is retaining a visitor...

All of those things can be determined by using a web server log analyzer.
> I have heard from other SAR groups that the beacons have been a mixed bag, and they're getting too many call-outs from people who just got tired and want a ride home.

It seems like charging people for the cost of the rescue would solve that problem.
The "The Component State Chimera" explains that component state in an illusion. It does not present a way to cope with this realization, perhaps that is why it feels incomplete.

I will publish the solution shortly :)
You can tell it, it won't necessarily work.

I've recategorized a certain transaction pattern and marked it "always categorize" every paycheck for several months.
I could find 100 sources spanning both the left and the right that will detail the mistakes made by the FBI.

Considering that Trump is still president, and all of the Americans prosecuted were for lying to the investigators, not for colluding with Russia, I think it's safe to say nothing happened. The report found insufficient evidence, and like I said, was plagued with mistakes by the FBI.

You can say I'm "far right" if you'd like, but only I will know how stupid that is. If any one is repeating "nonsensical talking points" it is anyone denying that the FBI fucked the investigation up. But those talking points come from the center-left.
Some real use cases: bestbuy.com, target.com, apple.com, us.gov, samsung.com, canada.ca, … I could go on. I've read nearly a third of sites use it, especially the larger ones, but also sites that run Wordpress. All with different degrees of depth, but any use can add precision to search and data, that anyone (not just Google, Yahoo, Bing, Yandex) can use.
I need to be able to try it before signing up.
Exactly. Many people naively thought that it was going to be positive. Build your family tree, get better ancestry information.

Even finding family relations can be fraught with issues like illegitimate children, sperm donors who thought they’d remain anonymous, secret affairs now outed and then there is the other health data aspect...
Honestly, I would also say that a partial reason why these would've dropped is that everyone who can do it has done it.

You only need these kinds of results once because your DNA doesn't change. I knew people who were giving or had gotten these as gifts, but those are one-off purchases. And if you've heard of people doing it then you'll do it too but that's also a one-off.

I don't think I'd personally benefit because my family came to the US relatively recently from a country that has very few records going back very far, that haven't been destroyed. So what would be the point for me?
> And do you honestly believe a sandbox would have stopped MS changing the page?

Depends on the sandbox. A real sandbox? Yes, it should stop Microsoft from changing the page. A sandbox built by Microsoft, that they're willing to circumvent for their own advantage? No; I expect that it won't stop Microsoft. To me, that makes their sandbox less trustworthy rather than making their browser more trustworthy.
I thought Chrome had similar protections (both in terms of policy and technical enforcement) - while of course the browser can't protect itself against software running with root privileges, it can ensure that any attempt to pull this off requires tampering that would clearly be considered malicious by most, and I thought that Chrome was doing just that.
Which is why it's illegal and you get sued for it. I don't think that's a good comparison - something illegal that is routinely punished vs something that is neither illegal nor punished, but has massive effect
