It won't be the ugliest color for long. This choice will have unintended consequences.
All colors should be treated equally. There should be no discrimination based on color. Every color is beautiful in it's own way.

But here we are, Tiffany Blue considered pretty and Drab Dark Brown is ugly. It is not ugly, It's just color positive.
This is painfully relatable.

> Pantone 448 C, also known as the "The ugliest colour in the world", is a colour in the Pantone colour system. Described as a "drab dark brown"

Things leading the ratings of the ugliest things are rarely ugly. This applies to architecture and it seems to be the same with colors.

Dark brown is not the ugliest color, the ugliest color is magenta. It is commonly used as a transparency placeholder for a reason - nobody wants to actually see it. Just imagine a website with #4A412A background - it's ok, people will read it if you put something interesting there as soon as you use a reasonable color for the font. Now imagine a website with #FF00FF background - it's a disaster, everybody is going to close it immediately as soon as they accidentally navigate to it, no matter what font color you use.
They do, it depends how far back you signed up I guess. I did this many years ago, around the time they first launched and I got constant reminders that this or that new information is not available for me unless I upgrade to their latest chip. I think once I was able to upgrade by having them rerun the first sample I submitted, but at this point I think I’d have to send a new sample in if I remember the message correctly. But that seems like too much hassle so I haven’t done it.
And competition - I purchased and ran a 23andme test ~10 years ago and it seemed magical that this was something that could be done. Now there are 3-5 others who do the same thing (at least in a consumer's eyes) and it's unclear what the uniqueness of 23andme is.
More like, "Why is Intuit so awful?"

My personal story on this:

I was a Mint early-adopter, and some time before Intuit purchased Mint I was also a TurboTax online user. I liked using Mint mostly just to track my net worth / assets and did so for several years.

Fast forward a year or two, and Intuit had purchased Mint. A few months later I came to realize that Intuit was now creating TurboTax accounts for all existing Mint users without bothering to cross-reference existing account email addresses between the two databases. When I signed up for Mint originally, it was using your full email address as a user name. So now, I had a Mint account which was my email address, an old TurboTax account which had that same email address on file, but a different user name, and a new TurboTax account which WAS my email address, tied to the existing Mint account.

So what happened? I tried to log into Turbo Tax using the account I already had used for taxes in the past to import my Mint information, but I was told that email address is already in use by another TurboTax account - the one Intuit created for me instead of merging my existing accounts...

Several phone calls later, I was assured the only path forward was to start using the new account to do my taxes if I want Mint integration. I decline and asked why they couldn't just get rid of the erroneous new account they created for me and let me combine the ones I already had. I was not about to lose years of tax returns on my old account to start a new account without that information. They said it was impossible.

Ultimately, I decided I'd delete the old Intuit/TurboTax account and start fresh, to take advantage of the integration features. They told me they were required by law to keep my old TurboTax account data, but that I could change the password to something random/long and change the email address to something non-existent to prevent myself or anyone else from being able to log in anymore.

At this point, I was very annoyed, and chose a suitably-annoyed fake email address directing hatred toward Intuit, which I won't repeat here, but rest assured it included a reference to Intuit and non-standard sex acts. I also changed the password to a 64-character random string, which I did not write down. Fast forward a couple weeks...

Lo and behold, I tried logging into Mint a few weeks after changing my Intuit password and wouldn't you know, that account was inaccessible now, the exact opposite of what I was told they were going to do... Better yet, I couldn't reset the password because I had changed the account email address on file to the aforementioned vulgarity. Now you see where this is going... I called customer service, and the rep assured me she could help if I could recall the email address I had used... So, I apologized in advance, and proceeded to tell her the address was "Eff"IntuitInThe"A"@"eff"you.com (something in this ballpark, and edited for language).

Needless to say, we had a good laugh. I haven't really used Mint ever since, and have been considering deleting my account (if I can even do that without destroying my TurboTax account...)

Between these kinds of stories, companies abandoning robust and powerful Desktop applications for their mobile (toy-like in comparison) “apps”, companies dropping support for less-popular browsers, os vendors abandoning or downplaying cross-platform APIs like OpenGL, and the rise of halfway-house solutions like Electron, we seem to be headed towards another Dark Ages for cross-platform software. Charitably, this could be just companies saving developer time at the expense of users. Uncharitably, it’s explained by developer laziness and/or inability to learn cross platform development.

I remember how frustrating it was in the late 90s being a desktop non-Windows user or non-Netscape user. We seem to be rapidly heading back to those bad days. Yet there’s no evil empire like Microsoft dominating the computing world and crushing cross-platform anymore like they did back then. It’s just kind of happening and it’s sad.

Something not mentioned yet. I find programming is the task of last resort and I spend a good deal of my time talking with the product person to help them refine their product idea into something that is mechanically sympathetic with how computers work and the general problem domain. It often adds 10% time for the initial work and -90% of the time for iterations.

For example once we had a project that wanted to add Role Based Access Control and some juniorish engnineer suggested adding boolean columns to the table for each of the user's roles.. Nope. Instead we created a document store w/ roles and defining new roles was as simple as adding a const to a set in the service's code. Good thing too because the number of roles grew from the initially requested ~3 to almost 100. That would have been too wide of a table.

My favorite explanation is that of a hunter.

Those with ADHD spend 90% of their time imagining, thinking, doing everything and nothing. And to any observer they look stupid, or undisciplined, or lazy.

Like the hunt, when somebody with ADHD encounters an situation with very high (perceived) consequences, they will lock into intense hyperfocus, completely singular in their goal.

So the modes of operation are 1) philosophize and daydream or 2) hunt

it seems like you missed the argument entirely.

hard work means nothing if you are not fortunate enough to have the foundation with which to work upon. the person with 20% less brain capacity can do way more work than you, and not get anywhere, which proves that there is no linear relationship between hard work and success. something else has to be present for "hard work" to lead towards success. There are some people working much harder than you at their job at McDonalds, and they will not be as successful as you.

Your hard work did not create your success, your circumstances did most of the work in making the conditions right, just like human evolution would not have happened if there weren't a perfectly conditioned Earth present that took billions of years to create.

Your hard work was just one of many prerequisites for your success to occur (and of course, many people don't need to work very hard at all to be successful, due to their circumstances as well), and additionally, your capacity, desire, and stamina for such hard work are also things that you were lucky enough to have.
I don't think the engine itself would be the problem. There might be a piece of middleware that breaks support through. Both Linux distros and MacOS are transitioning to x64-only and I can imagine a proprietary piece of third-party middleware doesn't support proper x64 or something making it impossible to upgrade the system to support modern OS's.
Exome could plausibly change due to alternative splicing, but my guess is that what is meant here is transcriptome, which is which genes are actually transcribed and their quantities.

Unfortunately RNA is chemically unstable. Not sure if cDNA synthesis could be done with a consumer kit.

Gut biome population sequencing/gene panels probably easier to get.
That's a lot of narrative overlaid on the data. The author even says this about Democratic politician accounts:

> All of them had bot activity of some kind. Given enough time to collect the data, bot networks would eventually appear for all of them.

I think the analysis could be very interesting but they're injecting too much personal spin on the motivations of everyone involved. Why is the teenager who follows the Yang bots and MAGA bots "sad"? Is there a corollary teenager following Democrat bots? Are they sad too?

I think it would be interesting to study bots and how they intersect with media and politics in a less biased manner.
Certainly, they're different. I'm pretty confident about a company's profit motive; not so much with the government which changes every few years. I don't like a company having it (and will never take such a test), but like the government even less. The government's the one that can bust down my door at 3 AM, haul me away, and shoot me if I resist.

That's technically true, but misleading.

The long term capital gains tax, which is what most high income earners end up paying, maxes out at 20%, which is lower than most of the regular income tax brackets. It's the reason some CEOs opt for a $1 salary.

This is simply wrong.

Equity paid as compensation is taxed as ordinary income at the value of the equity at the time awarded, and is subject to marginal rates.

The gains from holding that equity and selling it later is taxed as capital gains if and only if held for longer than one year prior to sale.
>And I've never killed that other me, it's sitting there and I might be that me tomorrow, it's just that every day so far I've chosen that today won't be the day it is me... Similarly Elton John could always return to being Reginald (or however he identifies his older identity) he just doesn't.

The way I see it, it isn't really "killing", as in, getting it to not exist at all anymore. That old "you" will always be there, just like a bunch of other possible "yous". The "killing off" part means getting to a point where going back to that old "you" becomes as difficult as it was for you to get to the current "you" from your old "you".

And I totally feel you on the part about thinking too hard about it. This outlook I have is definitely not comprehensive and just provides satisfaction at a cursory glance when my mind wanders there. Looking at it under a microscopic view, there are individual parts that can be deconstructed and found to be not super accurate. But overall, it seems to provide me with a good enough framework to look at my life through.
There is no better solution.

For Mac - Apple has to make gaming a bigger priority, and that's clearly not going to happen. A ~$1000 upgradable Apple machine with a powerful graphics card that can run the latest games is a pipe dream.

For Linux - It's the same problem as building any software for Linux that caters to the non-server non-developer segment. There just isn't enough of a business justification.
Some Senator who's name I can't recall was arguing otherwise. He said something to the affect of, if social media companies, or websites in general want protection under the law from content generated by their users, then they should not be able to dictate what their users can and cannot post barring illegal content.

It's an interesting argument regardless of what you believe, but certainly your first amendment rights don't currently extend to Twitter.
Rocket League is on UE3, so hopefully not. They probably just didn’t want it to be patched for three platforms.

Have you studied Analytical Mechanics first? Sakurai is a very good book for QM.

If you don't get it physically first then the feynman lectures are very good - physics is more than postulates and proof, at very least there's less to memorise if you start from the bottom.
Yep - goes on forever - I gave up LOL
You're describing hyperfocus, which is a common manifestation of ADHD. ADHD is fundamentally the result of disordered executive functioning. That means someone with ADHD has difficulty controlling their attention. In some people, that means they bounce from thing to thing, in others that means they hyperfocus on certain things for too long losing track of other priorities like eating, sleeping, homework, etc. Failing to get enough sleep and exercise are particularly problematic since without those things executive function deteriorates further.
I'll bite.

- I don't watch TV, and I don't have a Netflix account

- I'm asexual. I don't consume porn.

- I tried taking a social media break in the past. It didn't fix anything. I would just either nap or stare at the wall while my thoughts raced in circles.

- I bike and walk long distances on a regular basis.

I understand you're trying to help but I'm not you. My brain works differently than yours. Maybe the rates in Western countries are skyrocketing because more people are learning this is a thing they have.

Apologies if I'm being flippant, but it's very important to understand that not everyone is the same. Some people need therapy or medication or surgery or etc. to be at their best. That's not a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with treatments that are known and proven to resolve a set of symptoms that you have.
why this is flagged?
I completely disagree.

Tips that help me are the antithesis of what you said. In fact, I believe that if one follows these tips, you're worse off.

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

Instead of blindlessly snipping things on the internet, try to understand why you like it. What fundamentally makes it fun/pleasure to use?

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

What guides one from picking their "favorite"? You're omitting the entire "black box" that makes the designer pick their favorite. This black box is biases and training of looking endlessly on Dribble and other designers on Instagram. This is trend chasing. This is how you get practically every damn startup with a magenta-purple aesthetic we see all too often from Firefox to Datadog.

Instead start from the bottom-up. Can you get by without using a color? What does adding a color buy you? Why should you use different colors? Is there a hierarchy of importance that needs to be conveyed to the user? Why is a color needed in the first place?

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

Also make an owl (from another comment)

- 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.

IMHO - UI that emerges out of the product-user interaction rather than chasing some trends, pintrest board or inspiration from other sites, is guaranteed to be functional because it was the first checklist in the designers process. Once functional, you can work on context seperation using colors or whitespace or typography, whatever...

Also, there have been a few rather defensive sounding VC posts on HN lately. Usually it's all Techbro Tony Robbins platitudinal stuff, but it's been getting darker these days. Did you see the one with Paul Graham lashing out at "haters" or whatever? Yikes. Gives a sense things aren't going that well, and they want to justify their decisions.

This is actually why I think it's viable. The mistake is that crpgs try to tell a very particular story, and procedural generation stops at creation. But that's not the GM's job.

The GM's role is to create and simulate the universe, and to fudge the simulation (and the players) a little to keep it entertaining.

And (sufficient) simulation is definitely something we can hope to do -- though few games really try.

But the automation has a slightly different role than your GM.. it's goal is not to "move the story forward", but rather to craft a universe so interesting the players will move forward on their own! The automation should not be rolling to find out whether something is behind the door.. it should simply be checking if the simulated creature has wandered there.

The drudgery of true simulation then must be mitigated, and the tools for mitigation are the job of the game designer and the hueristics of the simulation. That is, you need not simulate the atom, nor the food & lifecycles; just enough of the system to allow it to change and adapt on its own (and ideally be self-stabilizing to a degree; probably best done by acknowledging the players only explore a single dungeon, but it's affected by a world outside of it; this is the opportunity to inject whatever corrections are necessary to stabilize the environment, avoiding the problems of Ultima Online)
Any case and any old original iPad charger will do you fine, seriously :) I'm just saying, if you want something really sturdy nothing stops you from either investing in or tinkering up whatever your fancy.

So to call ADHD defective is definitely a huge problem. It ignores any and all advantages of having brain differences. I saw a study a few years back that suggest ADD was highly correlated with the ability to focus under intense short term pressure. It’s very possible that this is an actual genetic tradeoff, the ability to think and act under pressure is a hugely valuable skill to society, so who cares if a person can’t help but chase butterflies the rest of the time?

I think the bigger problem we have as a society is that we don’t do a good enough job identifying people’s strengths and finding ways to leverage them while downplaying their weaknesses. It’s something that I think exceptional managers do with their teams, but I suspect is a rare skill.
This makes me think about how Google has begun to demand recipe sites include Calorie counts.

Biggest Mistakes I’ve Made as a Writer, Before I Was Able to Thrive
Tor is designed to benefit from an arms race by spy agencies.

If your spy agency controls the vast majority of the Tor nodes, you can see what everybody is doing with Tor, and nobody else can. Whereas if somebody else's spy agency controls the vast majority of the Tor nodes, they get that power.

When you're both working hard to get more Tor nodes, the Tor network is made better for everybody and unless you achieve that vast majority control you get no benefit for your effort, still, never give up.

Suppose the Russians have 100 Tor nodes, the Americans have 100 Tor nodes, the Chinese have 100 Tor nodes and random good Samaritans run 100 more. Nobody can snoop on Tor, it works really well with 400 nodes. The Americans buy 200 more nodes. The Russians don't like that and nor do the Chinese! They each buy 200 more nodes too. Now there are 1000 Tor nodes, it works even better, and nothing changed for user security.
