When it comes to pages that would be served just fine with basic HTML, JavaScript and CSS there's an irritating, crossing into stupid, overemphasis on frameworks and patterns. A lot of times it's gotten to the point of bikeshedding.

But that said there _is_ important progress being made in web tech but very little of it has to do with how you mash your HTML, JavaScript and CSS together.

Take a look at what's being done with tech like WebAssembly and full on 3d grpahics in the browser (if youre using a phone I recommend that you connect to a wifi spot to not use up your data).

But the point is that there is a path for enhancing online UX and disrupting user expectations. The value add for being able to review 3d models of construction or order previews on demand speaks for itself.

I think a lot of the criticism this article levels at The Ocean Cleanup's efforts is pretty unfair.

Whilst it might take 10 Jenny's (20 ships) 5 years to clean up 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, that's significantly less plastic in the sea than if they sat on the sidelines because what they've got isn't perfect. 20 small ships traveling incredibly slowly is nothing compared to the tankers and freighters delivering all the cheap plastic crap in the first place.

Similarly, mentioning that their efforts are negligible compared to the plastics still being dumped into the sea whilst also pointing out that removing it from the sea is more costly than preventing it in the first instance actually undermines the snarky "why bother" tone they've taken.

Yes, preventing plastic from entering the sea, and reducing the amount of plastic created in the first place is something we should (and are?) trying to accomplish world-wide as that's where the biggest payoff lies, but it still leaves plastic in the sea that needs removing: something these guys have taken a good crack at solving and done better than anyone else as far as I know.

Whole article reeks of a defeatist — "it's hopeless, why bother?" — attitude. I'm pleased to see progress, however small.
> Eh, that doesn’t sound like it?

It should, as it was what I said. I'm really not sure if it's possible to make a point any clearer.

> Boeing lays off thousands of aerospace engineers regularly (...)

Sounds in line with the classical big corp style of management. I'm not sure what any of that has to do with humans not being the critical element of providing a service. In fact, are you sure you're not supporting the point you're trying to refute?
> The rocket had a streak of 82 consecutive successful launches between 9 April 2003 and 12 December 2017.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I can't help but feel like an app is last thing ADHD people need.
So we could build even bigger bombs?
The meds available for ADHD are remarkably effective relative to other psychiatric disorders though. For depression there are a number of (placebo-controlled) studies showing CBT + meds reduces symptoms more than either alone do, to the point there is a hypothesized complementary effect. It's also pretty common for moderate depression cases to continue with maintenance therapy but go off meds (with proper supervision ofc) once things are under control.

Therapy is a lot more work for the patient - more time consuming, more costly, can be emotionally taxing in the early stages, etc. So I understand the desire for a meds only solution, and in some cases that is possible. But talking about therapy more generally I would encourage anyone who can to give it a try, just as I would encourage people to put effort into their diet, exercise, etc.

Obviously make sure it is evidence-based therapy though, something like CBT that has been well-studied. There are flavors of talk therapy that are total pseudoscience.

I can’t wait for pinephone to succeed- hopefully this more powerful hardware + faster ram will help to address latency issues in the UI. Right now it feels like your brain is literally slowing down when interacting with a normal pinephone compared to an iPhone. Not a fair comparison at all I know.
That's a good point on the limitation, and to expand on your last point, an immediate demographic this could help is frontline healthcare workers and similar jobs who do get routine testing and are at higher risk in general.

My thumb rule; use the "Amazon Platform" to buy third-party items at discount and where you need the safety net of returns/exchange. Never buy Amazon branded i.e. "Solimo" (are there Others?) items even though they are cheap.
> That inner voice telling you what to do or what not to do? ADHD brains have... well, let's just say "something else".. in its place.

Pretty much every description I’ve heard from people diagnosed with ADHD features the same kind of internal voice as neurotypical people describe; the “something else” seems to be between that voice and action, not in place of it.
The people I know in this field bill around $110-$120, though my friend readily discounts to $80 for cash pay patients who are struggling.

The $200-$300 might refer to the price they bill to insurance companies, which is not the real price anyone pays. Insurance pays the higher of the billed cost or the allowed cost, so anyone billing insurance makes sure to bill much higher than the allowed cost to avoid leaving money on the table.

In practice, people with decent insurance will be paying $15-25 copays on average, not $200-300. I suspect their marketing material is being deliberately misleading in order to dissuade people from actual therapy, which is not cool. Wish they’d just market it as an adjunctive tool instead of a therapy replacement while trying to discourage people from going to therapy.

Between this and the $110 automatic charge if people forget to cancel the trial, this app feels like they let the “growth hackers” loose on the app instead of trying to be genuinely helpful.
Thanks for the follow-up questions.

We're actually working on several different sign-ups flows at the moment including opt-in post free trial, longer free trial, web sign-up and one-off purchase vs subscription. It is not our intention to push annual significantly over monthly - we wanted to give a significant discount to yearly subscribers but perhaps the difference between the two is too large. The previously mentioned issue with scrolling is due to to a bug with small screen sizes on Android which we're working to fix.

Disclaimer: I really appreciate the mission statement here. As someone who suspects they are impacted by some sort of undiagnosed ADD/ADHD, it's really great to know I'm not alone in these thoughts and that there are people trying to make solutions for it.

That said, while everyone is up in arms about the payment model here, I'm more concerned with the nature of the app's content.

What I was expecting to be an interactive, attention-grabbing set of modules turned out to be a whole bunch of audio recordings and generic goal-setting form fields. I almost laughed when I was creating my first goal, because in the introduction video by the cofounder he makes a point to explain that, "Like many of you, I've invested in planners and organizers hoping that they would magically help me become more productive." Can someone from the team please explain how this app's first iteration is not simply the modern & digital version of planners and organizers? Which features will be able to help users with which ADHD side-effects?

To be frank, I had high hopes when I started this free trial, only to realize that it smells a bit like a newer version of the self-help tapes people would fall asleep to in the '80s.

Why does your web page not explain what the app does and how it works, like with examples or something, anything, that describes what I would be signing up for?

Can I download this directly without signing into Google?
I'm not a big Google or big tech supporter.

Also why does the front page of your app not explain precisely how it works and what it does? All it promises is an awesome black box that "helps". What does it even do exactly? Writing an increasingly complex "how it works section", like Fastmail had when I signed up or that great comic on cryptography, would be appropriate.
Then literally everyone you know is dependent on either Apple or Google.
I curious about the opinion of HN on the absence of 1080p (it's still 720p). Specially this part of the blog post:

> The decision to maintain the original PinePhone’s screen resolution of 1440×720 was made early on; higher resolution panels consume more power and increase SoC’s load, resulting in shorter battery life and higher average thermals. A few extra pixels aren’t worth it.[1]

While I understand the point they are making, the PinePhone's screen is almost 6" and pixel density is probably the first thing that I notice on a new smartphone. It just seems very low?

For context I am fully aware of the project, its goals and that it's not trying to take over the global smartphone market, but for some reason 1080p feels like the baseline in 2021.

Fantastic to hear this--as the OP mentioned, having ADHD makes it hard to follow up on stuff like this.

The original announcement mentioned you folks have a neuro-diverse team, which I applaud and respect. I hope you really take advantage of this to dog-food your own product and on/offboarding processes to catch stuff like this going forward.

Keep at it! I'd love to see you succeed with this product.
I don't think that longer trial will help here. Rather it will worsen the problem.
Replacing an asset (reserves) with another asset (a loan) is not "shadow book keeping". But anyway... there is no such thing as actual bitcoins sitting in wallets. A bitcoin "wallet" is not a wallet but an ID. And there are no bitcoins either. There is only a transaction record of fictional tokens. These tokens (aka bitcoins) are created by appending an unbalanced transaction into the transaction record. This is shadow book keeping. But conceptually it shows that bitcoins are created with a simple bookkeeping entry. And more bitcoins can be created with the process that I described earlier known as fractional reserve banking. Again, this is all simple stuff that can be corroborated easily with minimal effort. This conversation is over as far as I'm concerned.
Especially since a 40 year old on Facebook today will have been using it since he was 26, or possibly 24 if he was at college at the time. So he’s going to be well aware that Facebook isn’t a new hip thing. (Although he might have seen the damage that Facebook did to his mental health over the years and wisely decided not to sign up for Instagram and Tiktok when they came along, so that part is not so unrealistic)

> If they're truly convinced that vaccine = death, then would they really choose death in combination with the paycheck?

I think the title of the article applies here. What proportion of the unvaccinated do you think equate the shot with death? If they're worried about potential long term effects (just for one example, whether you believe they're possible or not), it'd be hard to prioritize that over feeding their kids next week.

This may be controversial, but the term "antivaxer" really deserves to be deprecated. It means too many different things to different people. It's a sloppy caricature that leads to sloppy thinking, but we see it being used all over the place.

Also, new building materials are created all the time, tested, then allowed if they meet fixed safety standards.

This very much depends on your workload, number of jobs and complexity of scheduling. Our Nomad servers have 4GB of memory in the VM and are using about 0.5 - 1G at a low three-digit number of jobs.

Hashicorp is doing a smart but normal thing for on-prem sizing there - they are recommending specs which ensure you have no problems for a lot of workload sizes. And "workload" can grow very large there, since a single DC can handle up to 5k clients and such.

We are still measuring how much we are able to optimize Aurora with customers in private beta deployments. Aurora is trickier than RDS because Amazon removed a bunch of config knobs when they rewrote the storage layer. So reducing Aurora costs requires more aggressive tuning strategies (e.g., autovacuum) than RDS, which is why we don't want to just let anybody use it right now. It requires more time on our part to make sure that things go smoothly.

Optimizing MySQL/Postgres RDS in the free version is low risk.
It’s less because the medications are so effective relative to therapy. Ideal solution is a combination treatment. However, it’s hard to convince people to make scheduled appointments to interact with another person and discuss part of themself they’re not proud of, so many people reach for medications instead of therapy in all psychiatric conditions (not just ADHD).

Therapy is actually a wonderful adjunct to medication because it helps instill lasting behavioral changes. A lot of people mistake the early motivational boost of stimulants for ADHD remission, but once the energizing effect of stimulants disappears due to tolerance, they’re left with the same bad habits they started with. Therapy can help build a better foundation for when the energizing side effect of stimulants disappears and only the attention-enhancing effects remain.

hi guys, just a project I made for color generation using ML. Here's a writeup on the model and data: https://huemint.com/about/

- click any circular swatch on the top toolbar to lock the color. Subsequent generations will take the locked colors into account

- generation parameters in the (gear) icon. Try increasing the creativity slider (sampling temperature) for more diverse generations

Thanks for sharing, this is a really interesting thought and its very close to one I had based on this thread, with the one difference being that instead of letting others decide what kind of comment one makes, we should really lean into thinking of commenting as a sort of game and let the user decides what kind of comment they are making, by letting them choose to attack/defend/support a position.
