Try closing your eyes and turn on some serene music for about 10 - 15 minutes. You will be surprised at how relaxing it is to close your eyes and doing nothing at all. With this simple gesture, I can say that it is one of my favorite mood boosters.
This is also exactly the line of thinking that happened to keep me away from an ADHD diagnosis for such a long time. The point of the “superpower” language, when used by someone who is actually ADHD is that you feel impaired and are lead to believe by everyone and everything that this just the way you are - that you’re lazy, that you’re incompetent, dumb etc. And those successful focused people, they’re just more hard working, they put in more effort. ADHD drugs are life changing because suddenly you’re perfectly fine sitting still, being focused, not interrupting people.

Posts like those are what gave me the confidence to seek an ADHD diagnosis.
What specifically do you not buy? Parallel construction is a thing b/c the usa does it so much.
I don't even blame them, really.

Depth isn't all that compelling. A well researched article doesn't get more views. The incentives to do a quick write up are strong. Spend 100 hrs researching a topic, for no gain... or spend 1hr writing an article with just enough content to draw agreement or disagreement.
I appreciate your comment; medication saved me from tanking what has been a relatively successful career.

However, they bring up a reasonable question, which is that of conflicts-of-interest. I do not now, nor have a I ever, received any compensation from a current or historical manufacturer of medications targeting ADHD. I do not anticipate receiving any such compensation in the future. However, I am married to a physician. (Side note: she also has ADHD. One of the smartest people I've ever met, but nearly failed her first USMLE because she couldn't execute on review/studying prior to the test. Went on meds and passed the rest of her exams with scores right in the middle of the distribution. The meds don't make us super-human, they just let us be normal.)
For sure. I'd tip them if I saw them.
That's not how it works. In SV they would have received 10fold the funding that they received in Europe. As a result, most likely they would have had a better product.
The actual EFF headline is, "15 Universities Have Formed A Company That Looks A Lot Like A Patent Troll". Why was the number "15" omitted from the HN headline? It seems to imply that universities in general are guilty of this. Even if it's true, the article doesn't make that argument.

In general I agree with with the EFF that this consortium and software patents in general are harmful. But this change to the headline seems like an editorial twist; it changes the framing of the story.
Nasm.us Is Down
Does anyone know what's going on?
The problem is that Airbnb and a ton of other modern high-scale companies is that they only work when they don't require humans on site. It's simply not economically possible to send a human being to an off-site location for 14% of $200. Similarly, if each person on your social network generates $5 in ad revenue per person per year, automatic bans and community moderators are the only way to go, because you can't afford to pay someone to read all of the posts. Or if you have an 800 number, you'd better hope that the robot answering machine can solve almost every problem, because any time even a minimum-wage call center employee has to spend 15 minutes on the phone with a customer one-on-one that customer's account is no longer profitable for the company.

As a consumer, I appreciate the low prices and high purchasing power that I currently enjoy - I can get trinkets from distant lands on a whim and have many things done on my behalf without my lifting a finger, hedonistic luxuries that would have been only accessible to a king in centuries past. And obviously, the powerful AI-like corporations that optimize for profit above all else are profiting from the situation. But as a human being it kind of sucks.

Show HN: Faster Typing Using AI
Absolutely. There are some who need this medication to function, but there are many who weren't sure if they needed meds, got prescribed anyway and - surprise - feel a burst of focus and motivation now they're regularly taking stimulants.
Except, some of us really did grow up in trailer parks and make it. Mostly through hard work. Luck too, but it isn't a completely false narrative. I am sure there are a lot of biases at play and that is not the statistically average way someone becomes a millionaire, yet it does actually happen.
>Oh, I'm sorry did you get upset because somebody inferred something different from what you said to what you actually meant?

>That must be upsetting.

There is no reason to be this rude. The conversation ended right there.
Luckily, there are countries without minimum wages.
I kind of figure that a lot of people are trapped in a "local optimum." Their life is fairly comfortable, but not extremely satisfying, and any direction they push doesn't yield results in an easily accessible way.

I kind of figure that this is a result of the standard of living in developed countries having a high baseline level of easy comfort, and the fact that life is getting more and more complicated all the time. It's hard to justify striving really really hard toward a complex goal (that didn't even exist in its current incarnation 20 years ago) when the immediate rewards aren't satiating or apparent.
Ok. But what about the formerly rural workers? Their standard of living has dramatically risen as well.
It depends on what kind of ads - IMO the sunset of third-party tracking cookies gives an advantage to companies like Google.

Products that target based on actual user intent benefit from cookie blocks, as that cannot be meaningfully blocked ever. (i.e., when you search for "brunch" ads relating to brunch show up)

Products that target based on behavior away from the product will suffer - but morally I'm ok with that.

Google happens to own one of the most intentful products out there - you directly tell the product what you want to see! The main pain for them will be loss of targeting ability in their network ads displayed on 3rd party sites - but their first-party products I suspect will see a boost in the new world.
Kai-Fu Lee’s Sinovation bets on Linux tablet maker Jingling in $10M round
Unfortunately, the movie preferred pretty picture over scientific accuracy. The image of the black hole lacked the frequency shift as well as intensity variance described in the paper.
I always assumed that, at least pre-pandemic, the primary use case was either people with young children or people who could easily drive but aren't very mobile on foot.

A number of years back when I was on crutches for multiple months, I got grocery delivery which was a mixed bag. I'd probably have used pickup if it were available. I could actually get around a grocery store fine on crutches. I just couldn't easily buy more than would fit in a shoulder bag.
If you think in terms of money, then yes. But people can certainly provide value that cannot be measured in money and profits. And for me that's the whole idea of have a post scarcity society where you don't have to work.. I'm fairly sure that most people would actually start providing value on their own and for the good of society if they weren't forced to think about money.
Except e-ink, and ultra-low-latency pen input, and ssh-able...

I think the "interactive paper" vision is very different from the "ipad" vision.
Right, I used to use the geometric mean when dabbling in this area in my teens which is mathematically equivalent to averaging the log returns.
We’ve had some pretty compelling ‘wtf?’ things happen where the truth was kind of remarkable.

- 7 WTC collapse

- Jefferey Epstein suicide

- Wuhan virology lab incidentally being in Wuhan doing bat stuff

- Yes, Bush did make up lies about WMDs

- Yes, the entire finance industry ran a scam with securitized mortgages.

- They’ve been cheating in baseball every other decade.

If we go back further:

- Mmmhmm, that whole Gulf of Tonkin thing.

- Watergate

- Someone shot Kennedy

Why do people believe in conspiracy theories? Read the above list. Crazy stuff has been happening for a long time.
>This sentence is interesting given that Safari is faster in virtually every single usage model.

Both Chrome and Firefox made tremendous improvement. Safari 12 being the best and efficient making headlines meant Google and Firefox spend in the last 2+ years optimising. All while Safari 13 and later Safari 14 added quite a lot more Web features and made it slower.

Not sure about Safari 15 yet.
Depends on the word games being played. We don't deserve anything, but being born as thinking humans we have certain inalienable rights. They aren't "deserved", they just are.
Lots of politicians and wealthy people control some media. Also, "what politician could rise whose profile wasn’t vetted by the media?" -> isn't Trump a strong countexample?

So, I've been using Remarkable-2 for over 6 months now. And it's amazing!

Pros:

1. A single charge lasts a WEEK!

2. I used to write a lot of notes on white sheets, add addendum here and there. Now, its all on reMarkable.

3. My table clutter has reduced significantly.

4. I'm writing a lot more!

5. It syncs to cloud and I can immediately read the notes on my computer, mobile.

6. It's so thin and lightweight. Definitely doesn't feel cheap. It has a nice premium feel to it.

7. New updates like Pinch and Zoom functionality has made it easier to read PDFs.

Cons:

1. Battery life sucks if you're connected to WiFi.

2. Expensive - Product + Sleeve + Marker with Eraser sets you back $500+.

Strongly recommend to anyone who writes a lot.
Haven't you seen the latest definition of "conspiracy theory"? Here you go: "an opinion or idea that contradicts the ruling party's agenda". So Muslim concentration camps in China is a conspiracy theory. If you don't believe me, ask Xi. Elections in the US are not less transparent than in Putin's Russia. Proof: CNN. Putin is a great leader for Russians. Or so they said on RT.
At the beginning Google was pretty much technically better than yahoo (and even Altavista, which I would argue was the "technical" leader). It also solved search for that era; you really could find anything on google, and easily, so it was a better product too.

The definition of "better software" is vague. Does it mean technically better? Better product? Easier to use? Ethical? Probably have to ask GP for clarifcation on that.
To play devil's advocate: Rich kids are doing cocaine in Ferraris. It's the poor kids that make stuff happen.

> Starting conditions (where one was born, levels of wealth and opportunity there, one's parents' education and jobs) are shockingly predictive about an individual's future. Hard work leading to social mobility has always been the exception, not the rule.

That could be true for USA where the mobility reached an equilibrium.
Airbnb blocking landlords from listing properties where tenants were evicted
From a technical perspective, yes. Most frameworks worth their salt provide good-enough mechanisms for that.

Where i18n becomes nasty is when you have to find, evaluate and constantly coordinate with n external translation agencies. Working from Germany on an international product, this is a nightmare. From a technical standpoint we can release features within a minute thanks to our CI/CD setup, but as soon as some user-facing text is affected we have to hold changed back until all translations were collected.
I am raising a blind Nigerian Dwarf goat now; it's easy to see the "climb mountains and eat lichen" instincts at work. Poor thing has had to spend a lot of time learning the shape of the couch but now that she has; she's obviously delighted to be able to balance on the back of it with the cat.

An acquaintance some time ago had rigged a seesaw for their goats; it was a joy watching them play on it. The little ones loved to launch each other.
>2. Project managing the build out of the whole thing at once would require a much larger organization, which would be more expensive

>3. Building the whole thing at once would require a much large workforce and much more equipment, which would be more expensive.

This doesn't work out in a linear model. You either hire N people for 2T years, or you hire 2N people for T years, either way a total cost of 2STN for a mean salary of S per year. It works the same way with project management. With equipment you might have something of a point, but not if the equipment is leased.

You can point to nonlinearity, but then that looks like a weakness of the system.

>4. Staging construction gives them the time to work out the details of the next phase while working on the current phase.

The city is a moving target; details you work out today may not be true tomorrow. Worse, the different pieces of the system are interdependent: changing conditions may invalidate work already done, incurring additional costs.

Ultimately, it seems like the only compelling reason on this list is (1), which itself points to a lack of overall strategy on the part of the government.
Why is the conversation about comparing the people at the current low end of the ladder to those at the current top end of the ladder? Why aren't we talking about how far the ladder has been moved up the mountain?
What meds worked for you?
I was prescribed Adderall XR which did wonders for my symptoms but eventually I stopped taking it as my heart would race after doing any strenuous exercise. I wish that wasn't the case, as it did help.
oneApi.jl has a Julia to SPIR-V (Vulkan) compiler.
This article seems to complain more about a lack of focus than a lack of completeness - I'm going to go out on a limb and say that maintenance is good. Maintainence keeps software up to date with new tools, old bug fixes, and occasionally new hardware. I like all of this. None of this turns the OP's chair into a table.

And if you have a clearly defined and (from the Unix Philosophy)narrow focus, you'll not transform your chair beyond the original purpose.the If something gets in the way of the narrow focus, you'll revert it. Really, this feels like it derives from do one thing.

I think the value of minimizing updates is in massive and adaptable systems with hundreds of iterating moving parts, not in small UNIX-like tools where the focus naturally restricts the updates.
I wouldn't say a third of your employees is a vocal minority. It's a pretty sizeable amount.
Thanks! This is definitely a feature we want to add in the future.
> eating out 3-4 times a week

What percentage of the western population eats out 3-4 times a week? I'd bet it isn't more than 10-20%, depending on the country.

> Uber Eats delivery

Not sure the people who do the delivering can afford having food delivered in turn (at least not 3-4 times a week).
Along with Airbnb, 250 tech unicorns have been acquired or went public
> You mean, you'll bet money that a government can eventually technically defeat any cryptography? Or do you mean that a government will do an end-run around E2EE?

Hard crypto is hard, no debate there. My point is that the government will find a way around, e.g. by coercing you to give up keys, coercing an intermediate to backdoor your device(s), hacking your device etc. You're facing an APT that also has physical power of you. The only winning move is getting control over the APT/your government through the rule of law.
In this case I was referencing my own country, the Netherlands. We're heavily urbanized and no location in the country is ever more than 4 hours driving away.
Hard work is the only way to climb. But you must choose your mountain wisely.
Probably because HN is something like 95%+ male demographic and career focused. The rest of the internet does not seem to agree based on my testing the water. Women (self identified of course) seem especially interested in pushing that men could simply stay at home if they wanted.
That's pretty normal in most parts of the US, in my experience (though I've only lived in a half dozen different regions).

E.g. Every Tuesday we get a visit from four different garbage trucks. The first guy (who just came by a couple minutes ago, coincidentally) is the only one that does manual lifting. He picks up the glass bins (and incidentals like motor oil). He's just driving a superduty. Then a few hours from now the other three trucks will swing by pretty close together, one for yard, one for recycling, one for garbage. Not a one of those guys ever gets out of the truck (though they might have to on occasion -- there's a mention in the garbage service rate sheet about placing out an extra bag for a fee). But normally it's just wheelie bins, a robotic arm does all the lifting.

I can totally see, though, certain situations in a dense urban environment where wheelie bins are more trouble than they're worth. Maybe it makes sense for those guys to use the old-school truck where they pick up the can and dump it in the back.
Not against the site, against the client connecting.
It's traditionally three generations, not six. And it's just human nature to look at things in a relative sense. If you are living a lot better than when you grew up, you are very likely to be comfortable and stop there. Similarly your parents might just be happy to see you reach that next rung, rather than pushing for more.

Immigrants doing it in one generation, working blue collar jobs while sending their kids to the ivy league or med school, prove it's not based on real barriers either way.
That looks pretty neat, although not all things are exactly clear.

1. You claim that existing graph databases were not fast enough - do you have any benchmark data that compares them with your solution on given dataset?

2. From the description - it seems like you are focusing purely on Person type of data - is that correct? Or is that just the first use case / demo?

3. Do you support more advanced query langs, e.g. SPARQL?

edit: formatting
I guess it depends on where you work, or perhaps the field. I have seen some truly awful external hires. I have also seen some great ones, but I suppose it is more of a gamble to go external, whereas promoting internally has a lower downside and also lower upside.

One major negative of hiring externally is it harms employee moral. There have been a number of studies that hiring internally is better for long-term organizational health.
Cursing Elon and Never Selling at Bitcoin 2021

Personally, I think there's a Luck component separate from Opportunity that needs to be factored as well. You can start with a great opportunity and get absolutely destroyed or outlandishly rewarded by bad or good luck separate from anything you do (ex. COVID destroys one kind of business while pushing another through the roof). Something like...

Success = Hard Work * Opportunity^2 * Luck
At the scale of electron-sized particles, local reality no longer definitely exists. In fact, we have a chunk of math (Bell's inequalities) which suggests that local reality cannot exist; either some parts of reality are non-local, or some parts of local interactions are non-real.

I say this because it undermines your hope that epistemology and metaphysics is merely a matter of explaining where electrons "come from"; the question is so wrong that it must be entirely rethought. An electron isn't a dot in space, but a behavior smeared throughout a region.

I thought that the reason that folks didn't like science is because they were preoccupied with Jehovah/etc. but perhaps I'm wrong.
The rewards are capped due to supply and demand. There is no artificial or malicious intent due to the color of one’s collar.

Also, the past couple decades have white collar workers getting automated away.
True, but this would not satisfy "breached".
> however, there is validity to the statement that Europe is currently coasting along on the spoils of centuries of loot and plunder.

oh boy.

Time for you to crack the spine of a history book covering the 20th century, me thinks.
That's the answer to the OP's question: Fox News and Jordan Peterson would believe it. Hook line and sinker.

https://youtu.be/Z4oy6mnkyW4?t=966 details and interview with Tunzelmann on Stand Up Maths, whole video is good if you've the time
Because we think we’re better. Thinking to oneself, “I don’t believe in any conspiracy theories, but those other people sure do!” is to be unaware of the human condition. Ideology exists and it’s good to get frequent reminders about that, lest we judge.
I've been on a touring bike with a total weight of 130kg down massive hills in Japan
Yeah, this. The old guy on the job site knows more "tricks of the trade" than you will pick up in a trade school. Experience is paramount here.

It's easy to watch a youtube video on something and think that it looks easy -- until you try it. I can sweat pipes but I'd wager that 10% of them have a pinhole leak when pressurized for the first time. If it was something that I did on a daily basis, over years, I surely would get better at it. Now try doing one through a small opening in the sheetrock, and don't burn anything.

When I'm working on stuff in my house, that's when I call a professional because I recognize my limits.
There is thriving business by various rescue groups that are importing dogs. They can charge as much under the guise of travel costs and vetting. There is no reason to import STRAY dogs from other countries while there are millions of dogs in local shelters unadopted and rescues and are being euthanized daily.
We should make a darkUI along the lines of prohibitive cookie policy modals that detect Chrome, and forces the FLoC in user's faces. It'll get ignored and be as useful as the cookie policy windows, but it'll be funny. Maybe add to the window "Don't like this message? Try Firefox instead!"
>As a European, I can only hope that our culture doesn't degrade itself to that degree.

The question is whether Europe will be able to maintain its wealth - which is the main thing that makes possible the luxury of having a more relaxed lifestyle - in the long term while falling behind economically. Most of Europe's wealth is based around old world economy.

I still don't get why Apple/Google are totally fine to collect telemetry but Microsoft is somehow supposed to not do that.
