1. Read Getting Things Done. It will change the way you look at approaching tasks.

2. Clear, approachable goals. "Ship the website" isn't something you can just do, "write unit tests for deletion of users" is. One of my favorite features of Trello is a checklist on a card, it allows you to break down actions into very defined actionable items.

3. Have a list of things you're going to take an action on today.

That's not really the definition of hacker in regards to hacker news.

Just like to remind everyone that snapchat was aware of this exploit and dismissive in regards to it.

>Inevitably you will need to have a partner and say, four children, for the human race to survive.

No, you personally won't. Plenty of people go their entire life without raising children and yet the human race continues to grow.

And there's nothing stopping you from raising a family in a small space. My family spent 6 months in a ~700 sq ft apartment in Chicago when I was growing up.

Mine's mapped to escape because vim.

> calculating ever-larger prime numbers, they get further apart

iirc that's not completely true. It may be in practice for bitcoin as a currency, but I remember reading that there's a limit to the distance between two primes, no matter how large they become.

Your argument would have some merit if statistically the legal system hadn't been proven racist in pretty much every aspect over and over again. The ACLU has put it all together better than I can.

>Why do people have so much trouble with being themselves?

Because people's lives have different sections that often have parts you don't want to overlap. You probably don't want your boss seeing a photo of you drunk at a party, and you probably don't want your conservative uncle to see that you are politically liberal.

In both those circumstances it's not that you'd necessarily hide those parts of your personality from the other parties involved; your boss probably gets drunk too and your uncle isn't going to stop speaking to you because your political views differ. It's more that it doesn't improve the relationship with that person.

Yes, it would be great if people didn't judge each other but unfortunately that's not how the psychology works.

So, unless you live a life in which you're comfortable revealing every opinion you hold and every action you've taken (in which case wow that's impressive) you have to maintain a certain image that you broadcast on a service like facebook.

I don't know if they are, but you could probably email Glenn at the email/PGP key he provides on his twitter.

Something that was briefly mention but not really explored in the article is the amount of abuse of drugs like adderall among students, specifically students in advanced placement and gifted programs.

Speaking as a high school student taking finals in the coming week, I'd estimate that around 30% (roughly) of my peers are taking adderall at some point in the coming week without any kind of prescription or oversight. It's not like it's difficult for them to get said drugs; as the article states 1 in 7 people are diagnosed with ADHD by the time they're 18.

What that means is that you've got teenagers taking serious prescription medication without knowing what an appropriate dosage is and possible side-effects, and you have students who actually need said medication to stay focused and productive selling it and not taking it.

The sad part is that this isn't addressed at all. Most of these students are great kids placing in the top 10% of their class and thus it's assumed that they're somehow immune to substance abuse. All of the drug education focused at students assumes that teenagers are doing drugs or drinking for recreation and doesn't touch on prescription abuse and better ways of dealing with things like over-scheduling and stress.

Here's the discussion on this article from a week ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6875229

Note: I'm not much of a rap fan, but rapgenius has more than rap on it.

>Why? For what exactly?

It's interesting to see what other people think some of your favorite songs mean and you can look at music in different ways. The same reason I'll talk about good albums with friends.

> How do you put up with that UI?

I can read the content and while I'd appreciate a better design I'm not an elitist.

Instagram's beauty was its simplicity. You took photos, edited them, and shared them with friends.

Post-facebook acquire they've introduced "features" that add very little to the service, copy competitors, and degrade the overall experience of Instagram.

Really? I had no issues reading it and completely understood the content.

and "amazon collects over half a gigabyte of data on it's customers every single day" they must handle that much information in milliseconds at this point.

railstutorial was a great way for me to learn rails, and I had experience with several other languages, git, and knew a bit of ruby.

It introduces way too much for a pure beginner who knows little-to-no programming trying to get started. That said, I really don't think someone brand new to coding should learn RoR straight away.

read the version he provides freely online and see if you like it: http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/

I learned to write python (and program) through Learn Python the Hard Way.

This is the TSA we're talking about.

>they used one of our images on their page

DMCA. I'm pretty sure this is probably against all these services TOS too and can probably get them banned from the services.

>There are many, many schemes that can be built into the protocol or on top of it to make transactions anonymous.

So as it stands truly anonymous transactions are impossible. The possibility to make that not true doesn't negate the fact that today bitcoin is in no way a private way of transferring money.

Yes, I still don't understand why people assumed it was a safe way to pay for incredibly illegal things.

Unless you take extreme precautions tracking down the individual behind a wallet would be trivial for a government.

I'm somewhere in between. I stream my music from a server that I own and control. Virtually unlimited storage + full control of the data = :)

Assuming you can trust the VPN and the encryption is good it should.

I've always used it in a dismissive sense. As if to say "it is the way it is, let's not investigate further"

So "Why do you look so distraught?" "Because PHP" "I am so sorry."

Here's the blog post I think you're referring to.

I'm going to toss this up here as it looks like a really cool solution to self host. I haven't used it. https://github.com/al3x/sovereign

>Snapchat's CEO turned down a cool $3 billion

Because word is he's getting offers for over $4 billion

That appears to be what he is advocating, yes.
