Echoing this, the GP comment was very familiar. I suffer from insomnia related to a mood disorder, and had tried the app approach. What worked best was some time with a psychologist using CBT & DBT methods. Note that DBT likely is only useful in certain circumstances, but CBT strategies will be useful to nearly everyone, and especially align with the type of person who reads this site.

I'd always poo-poohed counseling, but finding a good counselor who could offer more than a sympathetic ear was key. There are definitely great counselors, and a PhD isn't required, but I would recommend seeking out a psychologist. Especially if you are motivated and want to be involved with your therapy, a psychologist has the training and background to be exceedingly helpful. Note that this will cost more, but in my experience it is worth it.

Also note that you don't need to be crazy or suffering from any mental disorder for them to be helpful. Think of it as the same as employing a business strategy consultant. They are there to help you develop more beneficial strategies for thinking and reacting to your daily life, and sleep is just one factor. It sounds trite, but developing different ways of thinking and reacting to problems is huge. Unfortunately, there aren't one-size solutions, so what worked for me likely isn't helpful advice. But for the average reader of this site, seeking out a psychologist vs a regular counselor is money well spent.

Apple is basically giving the middle finger to the Dutch Authorities. Perfectly inline with their attitude around the world ( apart from China ). And Apple Supporters on Macrumors and 9to5Mac are calling for Apple to pull out of the Netherland. Along with other countries which does not comply with Apple's terms.

I wish there is some sort of Dutch polling group to send out public survey asking the Dutch people:

Apple is the biggest and perhaps the best company in the world, however the Dutch court disagrees with how Apple are charging Dutch business 30% on Apps and Services and given no other choice of payment processor. Should the Dutch Court continue its ruling and authority, Apple may threaten to leave the Netherland which leaves iPhone user with no support and no future Apple product in Netherland.

Netherland is only a small country with 17M population. Even if every single population owns an iPhone it account to less than 1.7% of total iPhone users. A rounding error for the biggest company in the world. Should the Dutch Court continue its proceeding it may ultimately have a negative effect on Dutch citizens. Along with Dutch business without access to Apple's iPhone App Store market.

Should the Dutch court drop the case against Apple? Yes or No.
> My point is that your anecdata is garbage.

Yet another of your points that sucks, since it wasn't their "anecdata": You're replying to two different people.

> Older folks saying young people don't know how to communicate is a centuries old trope. [...] Most people can communicate just fine.

So you've missed all the myriad "I hardly ever answer when my phone rings, and never initiate any phone calls myself" comments in various threads here on HN?

> Many people aren't good at phone calls. You know why? Because they don't talk on the phone.

Yeah, exactly. Or perhaps the other way around: They don't dare talk on the phone because they know they suck at it.

So... Do you think all those "I never use my phone for actual phone calls" comments on here are made by oldsters much more than youngsters?
Same here. But fortunately the web clipper in DevonThink is not very good, and with the annoying cookie pop-ups it’s hit or miss if websites will be archived properly. I wish DT would work on this, but they seem to treat the web clipper as an afterthought.
That only works if there are no open wifis around. And I would not be suprised if Samsung use Verizon's (?) spy mesh of wifi routers.
> The Caps Lock key makes no sense in the context of a computer keyboard.

Remapped to <Compose>, the Caps-Lock key is essential for someone who writes in many different languages. Removing it would not make me very happy.

That being said: I'd love someone to build a modern, USB/Bluetooth-enabled variant of the old Space-Cadet keyboard [1]. Would pay good money for it, too.

> I'd love to see a search axis for websites with obvious monetary incentives.

Fascinating idea in theory, how would you do it in practise? Three concrete examples I’d be interested in putting on that axis:

1. I publish articles on my website to encourage people to pay for my consulting services.

2. Sites like dev.to, Quora, and StackOverflow. The authors aren’t necessarily doing it for financial reward, but the site is.

3. The Guardian explicitly encourages people to pay for its website, whilst also making it freely available.

Where do you put these sites on an axis of “rewarded monetarily”?
Cool. maybe James Webb will find one ;)

Liberal in the traditional, economic, sense. On the social scale, he was still a racist and segregation guy ( on par for the times in the US, but segregation caused quite some issues around US troops abroad).
With respect to Iraq, I agree. It was a sham, rammed on the American public by a small radical contingent (Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc), taking advantage of a fear based climate. Unfortunately, the world has to deal with that America, and doesn’t get to see the full world outcomes of the policies of the true Americans, the 57% of Democrats who voted against that heinous war. For those Democrats and their constituents, there is no cognitive dissonance, confusion, or guilt.

Kosovo is not like that egregious mistake. The ideal world is making the Kosovo call and still not having Putin invade. Maybe it provides a slim boost to Russian imperialism, and hindsight could play what if games about letting Kosovo atrocities happen if it meant preventing Ukrainian atrocities. But tbh, it doesn’t move the needle when Russia simply has its objectives in mind and comes up with a laundry list of everything “seemingly” contradictory the West has ever done as their rebuttal. You’d just have some other slightly even more irrelevant “Kosovo issue” taking its place in Putin talking points.
I suspect my prior points in isolation would miraculously become easily-understood and agreeable short-hand if they were oriented to the approved resolutions, but in the name of good faith, I will try to point to what should be pretty clear observations with minimal dispute that together cause me to believe "the abuse carried out through these systems will be worse than any abuse prevented by them":

-Problems with transparency on big tech platforms, regularly affecting people's livelihoods.

-Problems reaching humans with the authority to help - I don't think we want to use algorithms to stonewall people from getting help based on their emotional profile because it will cause even more distress.

-Inevitable false positives causing immense frustration as in the case of this author. There may be some people may have a different cadence, different tics, maybe even some kind of disability that cause them to type differently and trigger these systems more often than others.

-Existing algorithmically driven emotion related things like social media rage cycles being extremely bad for people's mental health (discussed on this website daily).

-Very finely tuned emotional manipulation and control of the masses by morally corrupt authorities (but the CEOs are so benevolent, they even track our emotions, for our own good! There's never going to be systems designed to abuse people.
).

My appeal here boils down to: the keyboard is my private device. My emotional state while typing on it is my private matter. No matter how much I may type like a maniac on my keyboard from the comfort of my home, any requests that fail should be due to physical restraints, and not emotional ones that seem apparent to a computer. And there should be legal walls protecting the privacy of my own keyboard and my emotional state from unwanted computer analysis. If my behaviour visible in my output in a community is judged to be abusive by the human moderator's discretion, they have the appropriate tools to kick me, and I am okay with that. And not just mine, who am I? Everyone! You, her, him, that group of children over there who are going to grow up in whatever world we leave behind! And in the particular, I am not okay with what happened to the writer of this article - the technology should serve us if it can, and when in an emotional state like the author was, who would have clearly benefited from having the technology serve him in that moment, and my proposed law would make it so!

Internet trolls and bots determined to post abuse will just modulate their cadence and try again. The juice of slowing down someone mean is not worth the squeeze of making this system and subjecting everyone to reminders that their every keystroke is being watched and analyzed. Honestly, feels like we've come a long way, that this is now a controversial take on a major tech forum; and the destination for our continued journey is a very bad place.

I doubt this will satisfy you any more than my post before, but what's one more run-around?

If you are saying that Twitter adjusts the timestamps to the viewer's local time zone, that's not exactly a secret. Or are you accusing Twitter of retroactively changing timestamps to alter the narrative? That would be a bold claim in need of some proof.
> Also, a bad USB charger should not kill a device.

Then you've not seen bad USB chargers. Of course a device that by design is pumping voltage could ruin whatever it is connected to - especially if the connected device is sensitive equipment.

I've seen a USB charger pumping -1 to 11 volts AC out the USB connector - it was fluctuating 6 volts in either direction. Of course, you need an oscolliscope to detect that as it's at 50 hertz (C plug) - on a regular voltmeter it looked like 5 v steady.

Yeah... They should have left it at 1.
Wait, are we talking about the same 2FA? I meant logging in with password and then 2FA with something like Google Authenticator from another device (mobile phone). If the password manager would do both of it, where would be the extra security?

I took my unbootable mac mini under warranty , they repaired it without any charge. 2 months later same issue but warranty was finished. Repair estimate was half of the device price!(In India). This was not the first device whose repair cost so much. Really Apple devices are very good as long as you have warranty. If not for iOS development, i would not be buying it.
If we had a government that had a proper relationship with corporate entities, when Apple launched AirTag the government would have been able to say "well we didn't think of that before, but that's fucked up and banned, you need to disable all AirTags and refund all customers."
Bitcoin is needed because it is decentralized, transparent, traceable and a lot of other good properties

OR

Hey we need bitcoin because a convoy of large trucks led by a bunch of white supremacist anarchists ( https://mrsbrittanybested.com/2022/02/03/rotten-to-the-core/) whose MOU was to literally overthrow the democratically elected government, who chose to block the core of the capital and disturb other citizens' peace by honking constantly, harass masked first line workers and cause businesses to shut down for 3 weeks, block major land borders causing billions in economic damages, who were asked repeatedly by order of court to leave, when the very public data leak showed an overwhelming amount of so-called donations to a government-toppling movement came from outside of Canada, and when all levels of law enforcement from municipal to provincial were inadequate in dealing with this that forced the federal government to step in (an action supported by 66% of Canadians) in order to actually restore peace in the city of Ottawa, a motion that has to be supported by a majority in the parliament every 30 days to be renewed....

Sure, that sounds like a compelling argument for Bitcoin.
Lets funnel bitmonies to every "peaceful movements" around the world to destabilize nations, overthrow governments and cause anarchy.
I don’t know; some companies are forgiving with repairs; my experiences; Apple (anything I sent them the past 20 years was fixed or replaced without any questions asked) and Fujitsu (I used to swear by Lifebooks as the customer service was brilliant). Worst I had were MS (blaming me for dropping on a factory faulty Surface; not once but twice in a row) and Samsung (also blaming me). Guess some train their staff to be customer friendly and the other to prevent repairs?

IMO foldable phones are a throwback to planned obsolescence. The mechanical wear of the folding and unfolding is going to win and you are going to find yourself with a new phone in a relatively short time.

Every iPhone I’ve had has succumbed to either the home button failing (which requires a completely new main board to fix) or the lithium battery swelling to the point the case bursts open. My current model has no home button and has lasted the longest, and is a few months away from its third battery - I have no intention of replacing it until Apple brings back Touch ID or eliminates the notch.

My wife has had the same Samsung phone for almost fifteen years, but it fails consistently every year and she has it replaced under warranty (how many of those things did they make that there is a two decade supply of replacements?) She gets a fresh unit with a fresh battery every year and runs it until it fails, then she spends about four hours on the phone with clueless support techs from Samsung and Tmobile, they point fingers at each other for a while, then finally agree to replace the unit. Usually it is the screen that fails but once she lost a bunch of irreplaceable photos when the encryption key corrupted, leaving her with nothing but a memory card full of encrypted blobs. Otherwise she has become really good at migrating to new phones when they arrive.

I track sleep simply to note the amount, not quality. I tried a number of sleep trackers - Android apps, smartwatches - all of the "automated" solutions felt having spotty precision. Not talking about minutes, but hours, when I was staring at my phone or been awake without moving. The only precise auto trackers seem to be bulky headbands.

The most comfortable method I found is simply manual button pushing. I track my phone usage, and log time between screen-on time (+-10m to account for time to actually fall asleep). When I can't sleep for longer times, or get up for toilet, I quickly press the power button (phone lights up for a few sec accounting to screen time). I know this probably just _feels_ more precise and needs to have a phone around (generally not that good for sleep), but it still seems to be closer to what I experienced. It baffles me that all the gyro/heartrate based smartwatch platforms don't account for screen time this way.
And then they sold the keyboard separately for people who used the ipad as more than a YouTube machine.

Sounds like you're working at a more traditional company then: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/what-silicon-valley-gets-...

> In "traditional" companies, developers get work items assigned to them - most often JIRA tickets. These tickets are vetted by the product - or project - manager, and they have most key details to do the work. And they're expected to do just that. There's little need for questions unless it's about clarifying a detail in the ticket.

> Join a "SV-like" company, and you'll see little of this. There are projects, and there are program managers and engineering managers. But for the most part, engineers are expected (and encouraged!) to figure out the "how" of the work, including making larger decisions. In some places, each project would have an engineer leading it, who facilitates breaking up the work. At other places, engineering managers or senior engineers could do this work. Regardless of how it's done, all engineers are incentivized to look at the big picture, to unblock themselves, and to solve any problem they see.

> Engineers taking initiative is something "SV-like" companies celebrate. It's common to see services and features built that engineers suggested or have teams spend dedicated time paying off tech debt that people on the team advocated for. And it is uncommon for managers to tell engineers what exactly to do, to break down their work into small chunks or to micromanage them. People self manage.

> The expectation from developers at traditional companies is to complete assigned work. At SV-like companies, it's to solve problems that the business has. This is a huge difference. It impacts the day-to-day life of any engineer.
Unfortunately, many current TVs ship with advertised-but-missing features, which are added later via a software update. In the current gen, variable framerate input is a good example of this.

Tangentially related: This uses a HDMI-to-USB video capture device, which is great (I did not know they were that cheap and have ordered 2:]), but does anyone happen to know of a cheap VGA-to-USB capture device? I'm having a surprising amount of trouble turning one up, for all that I would expect them to be at least as easy to procure. (I'm interested in hacking together cheap lights out management for an assortment of oldish computers; emulating USB input devices with a microcontroller is easy, so if I could get VGA I could trivially remote control 10-15 years of computers. Unfortunately, somehow all of the "Pi LoM" projects I can find require HDMI.)

So I remember watching a farming program years ago about what could best be described as the hot potato. So chemicals get sprayed on a field of crops and one of the crops would take up more of the chemicals than those around it. It meant that individual plant would be above "safe" or legal levels but because it was impossible to detect which of the plants was the one above allowed levels, they never got tested. I'm also aware of the glyphosate over use issue and how thats been causing health problems. Glyphosate reduces Testosterone levels in rats according to one study and was intergenerational ie the lowered levels were seen in offspring. I think its some sort of management plan for global population levels. Dont know if thats what you are getting at?
