Humans are capable of driving cars safely. Many people go their whole lives without ever being at fault for a single accident. Some drivers, especially professionals, practice defensive driving at avoid or preempt accidents where they would not have been at fault. My own father, for example, has been the "n+1" car in an n-car pile up on more than one occasion, as he was the only one leaving a safe distance. He avoids all distractions and pays attention to the behavior of other cars on the road. He gives advice like, "don't just look at the brake lights - look for the car to pitch forward because that means it's braking hard and you should be too." Another time I saw him avoid a serious accident even though he was in the passengers seat simply by telling the driver, who had just taken their foot off the brake after the life turned green and was about to enter the intersection, "wait, stop, that guy's going to run the red light." Note that this was before the other car had actually done so - he just noticed it was slowing down. If everyone drove like that, cars would be safer than airplanes.

So it's not a cognitive issue. Almost anyone can learn to drive a car very safely, they just choose not to.
I don't think anyone chooses Kansas or Missouri (depending on which Kansas City you are talking about) as a place to move to.

I don't know if it was the cause of it, but I scheduled a meeting with the PC advisor and all of the calls stopped, presumably because I was going to talk to someone on the phone. Fortunately, they didn't have any validation on the dates so my appointment is scheduled for June 2076 or something. This has a slightly different annoyance since there's now an overlay on the top of the body that says "Prepare for your upcoming call" but at least no phone calls.
This isn't saying that __ALL__ procrastination is ADHD, and the other article didn't say that __ALL__ procrastination is emotional. This article is saying that this specific person's procrastination is linked to their ADHD - and even covers some of the emotional response portion (the section on feedback dysphoria).

Most psychologists and psychiatrists worth their salt will tell you that ADHD and Anxiety are kissing-cousins; and will usually look for the other if someone has one of them. Guess what is a great emotional inhibitor to doing things... Anxiety.

More generally, a strong emotional response of any kind could be considered as a chemical imbalance by how you're categorizing ADHD. ADHD isn't as hard and fast assigned a "chemical imbalance" like Depression, and more closely related to Asperger/Autism as an executive function/communication disorder (via DSM 4r9 and all of DSM 5). The reason that some of us are given something like Welbutrin or Proponolol instead of a straight stimulant like Ritalin or Aderall is because ADHD can in many cases be clustered with Depression, Anxiety, or other mood disorders (which are in the "chemical imbalance" group, and knocking out one can help the other).

So, short story long, there's no contradiction; but like with most things, there can be multiple root causes for a single, broadly defined outcome like procrastination.

I went to high school in Mississippi, my sophomore year in 1989 they still had all-in-one TRS-80s in the computer lab. They were actually good enough for learning some programming at the time.

Questioning double-blind trials when you are a pharma investor with no real understanding of biology is the height of ignorance.
Good point. Would be interesting to know that numbers.

On the flip side, people late in life can incur immense medical costs, and it's easy to zero out equity entirely in that case.

Chrome often installs itself maliciously, so perhaps turnabout is fair play. Google has done pay-for-install with Adobe Flash updates, Java updates, 'Free' Windows antivirus vendors, etc, and all used dark patterns to trick users into installing Chrome and setting it as the default.

I've seen some installers that didn't even use a dark pattern, just installed it.
Ask HN: What change in your programming technique has been most transformative?
As an example, the team I work on has been adding more precondition checking to all of our applications. The simple act of stepping back from the perceived data-flow and explicitly declaring what we believe should hold true has uncovered several bugs in our understanding of our applications.

We've likened it to having someone review a paper you've written: you often read what you think you wrote, not what's actually written.

This got me to questioning what others have found to be transformative in their development practices.
I used v4 back in 2012-2013 (when I was in college). They switched to nYNAB a year or so after, and I hated that everything was "in the cloud" and there was an option to "automatically import transactions from my bank account." I was like, what? I thought YNAB was about manually tracking my balances so I always knew what was going on.

But I got back into budgeting in mid 2018, and I actually love all of those features. imo the $7/mo I pay is well worth the auto-transactions, auto-syncing across all devices without dropbox, ability to link several different accounts (my checking acct is with a small local credit union, I have a brokerage account, a personal loan I'm paying down, etc.).

I'll admit I'm biased in that I'm the opposite of what I think the author's stance is but even after reading it I'm not entirely sure what their point is.

In my mind self-reliance, is growing and having strength unto one's self but giving freely of that strength to others to build relationships.

I feel like the author is speaking to an author audience, though, so maybe that's why the article is obtuse to me.
> the impact of the crash of a small aircraft near Skwentna, Alaska, activated the emergency beacon onboard.

I wonder how that kind of event is detected by the beacon, and if I could buy one for a person I know flies with visual flight rules (this means no recurrent fee, at least for 10 years).
I've been using https://lunchmoney.app/ since it launched. On top of being one of the cleaner saas apps I use the developer has been super responsive whenever I've submitted feedback or feature requests.

Genuine +1 from me (and I'm not even including my referral link)
For some reason Apple always moves slow compared to the competition in the software world. Swift is one example but also WebKit compared the Chromium or even iOS compared to Android.

Hardware wise they usually go much faster than the competition.
> What we don't know is infinitely larger than what we do know.

Yes, but that unknown, by your own description is infinitely larger than us as individuals, who have a limited time and space of existence.

Unless you want to argue for a fictional contract between human existence and a "universal" or divine purpose (as most spiritual or religious systems do), the infinite unknowns don't pertain at all to the question of whether we are just very advanced automatons.
That’s kind of like saying “every employer is paying trillions in compensation and healthcare benefits for work that conveys no benefit.” It takes staggering hubris.
Ha. I have the opposite response!

I also believe strongly in self reliance and the power of the individual to affect their environment.

To me though, that makes the seemingly increased focus as of late immensely frustrating, because to me, it's seeking to take away agency from people.

Exactly the _worst_ thing you can do to someone who's in a bad situation is tell them that they're just helpless and that's how it's gonna be.

Feeling like you have no control over your life situation is not an ingredient that will produce a healthy mind. There's a fine line between having an awareness of your limits and fighting for what's right, and running around blaming all of your problems on others.
Posting this because it isnt mentioned in the article, but among mariners these beacons are known as EPIRBs. The system has evolved significantly to support individual beacons now. So search for EPIRB if you want one or want to learn more.

Depending on where and with whom you sail, getting a DSC/AIS-based beacon may make sense:

If you're mostly in coastal waters, and not short-handed, then help is probably not far away, and being able to see where a person is floating on a chart plotter display makes for easier retrieval.

Of course if you're doing oceanic stuff, and/or short-handed with overnight watches, then an EPIRB/PLB may make more sense.
The Evolution of the Volkswagen Beetle (2019)
Seems like we just need some small percentage of flights to allow dogs.
Thanks! It's free for now because it's new. We want to get an initial set of users, polish the app further, and then start the monetization.

Right now, I'm leaning towards a subscription model because it makes the most sense. I think YNAB is too pricy and a personal finance app can sustain with a $2-3/mo subscription.

Is there any other monetization model that we should be looking at?
ADHD, a Lifelong Struggle (2018)
It's a matter of moderation. Yes, working hard and smart is great. But don't give yourself too much credit. There are people who helped you along the way, and you should recognize when you're in a position to give others a boost too when they need it. That's more productive and kind than putting yourself at the center of the universe.

I was rescued by the coast guard after my boat had a catastrophic failure and wasn't charged, but they ensured they were my last option. I had paid for a boat tow service and the refused to pick me up (labor dispute), and I was left to drift until after dark, just in case the private service changed their mind.

And that's fair - my point is only that it may be free, but they're not just handing it out either.
From the guidelines:

To be fair, Trump dismantling environmental regulations is not really an "interesting new phenomenon." I disagree that it's off-topic but I can see how some would consider it so.

Ten Problems for Climate in the 2020s
According to the article, they also require a VPN. So why use these apps? Is the VPN purely optional or do they not trust the inner network?
I agree. I tried GNU cash afterwards but it wasn’t the same.

Some early Microsoft products were so good - I was once lost in the middle of the Netherlands, typed a nearby company name in Microsoft Autoroute and got directions to my destination. All offline.

Nowadays, I’m can’t even get Windows 10 to navigate me to the correct program from the start menu search.
My elderly mother had such a bad experience with a dentist. She had some tooth pain and the dentist she picked wanted to replace ALL her teeth with implants. I went with her to see what is going on and the dentist insisted and expected the work to start the same day. We walked out and scheduled an appt with my dentist. They instead recommended a deep cleaning and fix one tooth. Then 15+ years later her teeth are doing fine.

That is already a factor. Even with paper ballots they eventually get entered into a computer for tallying. Which has a whole stack that must be trusted.
Could you say what's good about it for you? Like task-management software, I think the "money management" category hides a lot of variation in how people think about and do things. The right product for one person is definitely the wrong product for another.

While I favor proportional voting, I don't expect it to solve the problem because the legislature still works on an all-or-nothing basis. A law either passes or it doesn't. Adding more parties just tweaks the alliances and horse-trading that have to be formed to reach the 50%+1 required for it to pass. Those alliances have to be durable for the quids-pro-quo to work. You can call those alliances parties or not, but they work in similar ways.

Any chance would tweak the existing sets of alliances, and that would a time confuse and quite the partisanship. But sooner or later somebody is going to realize that pledging fealty to each other is the best way to get their personal priorities achieved. Partisanship happens because it's effective, and encouraging more parties won't deter the fact that 50%+1 of the country can shut the remaining parts out entirely.

Partisanship in the US these days has little to do with agendas and more about identity. Elections have become more about shutting the others out of power. I see that the article hopes that by introducing more parties, they can remove the urge to see one other party as the enemy to be destroyed at all costs.

But I don't think it works. A variety of social and political factors have pushed us here, and they won't be removed by rearranging the names of the alliances. The causes run much deeper, and tweaks to the process won't do more than confuse that for a while. So I'm all for proportional voting, or really any change, just to give me a break from the constant drumbeat of animosity. But I don't expect that break to last more than a few cycles, at most.
I think U.S. policy of using open burn pits from iraqi freedom onwards qualifies as chemical weapons usage. Our boys and girls were dying of cancer after serving fairly short and uneventful tours. I remember Joe Biden's son had died of brain cancer after serving 2 years at camp victory from 07 to 09.

We get to go home, but all that crap is going to linger in the air waters and soils of iraq and afghanistan for a long time.

They had a similar tool to make some sites load faster. I suspect they embedded some of that to Chrome at some point.

The problem is that, IME, the vast majority of primary care doctors match the OP's description. They order a standard test, check if the results match the most common problem, and then either prescribe the typical medicine the patient probably came across with a few minutes of searching, or shrug and send them on their way.

I know in theory they are supposed to look at the big picture and weigh a myriad of factors in coming to a diagnosis. In practice, they mostly just check if any of the blood test results are outside of the reference range and call it good.

I'm sure there are great primary care doctors out there that want to defy their own incentives and do the right thing, but trying out a bunch of doctors can take a lot of time and money, often with no payoff.
harold mcgee is one of my favorite food writers. I've read "On Food and Cooking" several times,and it's really transformed how I think about making food. He had a nice series in the Times for a while but then it trailed off.
> Sorry, but explain to me how I'm able to submit my taxes securely every year online, or pay for my marketplace insurance securely every month, but voting on our own digital devices is somehow beyond reach of what we can technically fathom?

Because the threat models are completely different.

For starters, if you get your taxes wrong, or if someone fraudulently tries to file on your behalf, it's a reversible process. You can fix it after-the-fact.

Ballots have to be anonymous (secret ballot) and also non-verifiable (to prevent vote-selling). There's no redoing an election later on, or asking a person to confirm their previous vote.
I understand the first reaction of anyone that is excluded (in this case men are actually not excluded) from a group, it feels bad and maybe unfair. But the sad reality in most countries is, that women are treated differently especially in tech. As long as this is the case, we need communities like WomenMake to support and learn from each other. You might know from other examples that it feels good to talk to someone who had to go trough similar stuff as you did, struggles with the same issues. For me, that's why such a platform is useful.

About 50 lbs from my heaviest (200 -> 150, or a quarter of my peak body weight). I would say I had an eating disorder before the weight loss -- I frequently ate my emotions and booze and sugar were a big part of that behavior. High quantities of sugar and alcohol make it very easy to consume calories while still feeling hungry. As my relationship to food became one of sustenance rather than consumption, the weight naturally came off.

Encouraging this shift is largely how eating disorders are treated; though in my case it came as a result of dealing with a lot of trauma that I had buried. But ultimately it's about holistic emotional and physical health, and reframing your relationship to food in that context.
i feel like apple moves fast on software when their hardware requires them too. Once it’s not absolutely required they stop getting interested and probably their star software employees move to different companies or projects.

The big question for swift is whether it will manage to get an interesting use case on the server some day. And that probably is a very uninteresting topic to apple.

Now google also has some investment in that language, so we may possibly end up with something nice in the end (maybe with a good mix of concurrency and safety inbetween go and rust).
That’s my wish..
I never implied there weren’t.
I was usually honest and said "bad divorce". Your suggestion would elicit a more reasonable level of sympathy and is a far better idea.
Is this the future of fighting super bugs. Tailored hospitals.
I agree. I have always been suspicious of people that project absolute certainty, especially when they do it repeatedly across multiple complex and nuanced topics. For me that behavior is a giant red flag to not trust anything that person says without further evidence.
For the marine environemnt, there are also shorter range VHF-based beacons that will show up on people's navigation chart plotters:

YNABaaS brings automatic integrations to the table and the 'sync' story is, obviously, much easier since it doesn't involve Dropbox. That's all I noticed. I did a trial and just was not impressed. In my opinion, using the SaaS version when you own the desktop software should get you a charity write-off.
Wouldn't you sort of expect the military to implement zero trust networking where possible?
> But I don't know how I could keep the VM secure,

It's simple, really.

Set up the VM. Do a snapshot. Every time you need to use the shit website, launch the VM, open the site in IE and nothing else. When you're done, shut down the VM and reset it to the known good snapshot.

There. Secure.

I am afraid there is a high probability in that $100 wont work. And the question is a little more complex.

This is not about I am willing to paid $100 to get rid of ads as the OP stated, it is how many are willing to paid $100. Or more precisely, we need X ( Say 10 ) monthly million revenue form customers to sustain the business. Are there enough customers to share the $10 million expense. We could price it at $50, are there 200K customers wiling to subscribe, and if not, how many more paying the $5 + Ads will make it sustainable. Given the Ads money with the $5 subscription will be lower since the subscribers of $5 are likely not worth anywhere as much as the $50.

Like you said most of the high paying subscribers are already concentrated in FT , Economist or WSJ. And precisely the reason why Apple news didn't include any of those three. They still dont get it. It might work for casual, gaming, sports magazine. Not Quality Daily news.
Try Personal Capital (https://www.personalcapital.com/). I used Mint for years but jumped ship about 6 months ago and am glad I did so.
A lot of people here are defending ADHD/procrastination, and while I agree with a lot of the points (especially the one about industrialization being maladaptive), it's worth considering the personal cost of not mitigating these behaviors. "Rework" ends with a good quote about inspiration being a diminishing resource. You might feel really passionate about some big project, but if you don't have the skills to organize, plan, and implement the subtasks required to get it done, your enthusiasm will eventually wane and you'll never bring it to life. This happened to me perpetually throughout my twenties and I've lost track of how many good ideas I had that died on the vine because I lacked the skill to bring them to life. Figuring out how to create a system that works for you and allows you to capture and make progress on your ideas is hugely valuable. I understand the concern about becoming a slave to a system, but letting your potential wither away is an equally unpleasant fate.
