If you can, I suggest finding a Psychotherapy institute (this is not the "institute" of "institutionalized"). They have many therapists on "staff", and you begin your treatment with an interview that's designed to match you to a therapist that works well for you. The interview asks about why you're seeking therapy and if you have any preferences for your therapist (male, female, young, old, religious, non-religious, etc.). And if you wind up not liking the therapist they recommend, you can ask for another without any fuss.

There are a number of these offices in NYC and I'm sure there are some in other cities as well. I hope you find somebody that works for you.

Anyone else find the concept a little weird? NPR is already like this in many ways (heavily left-leaning) so this argument is already somewhat moot, but: hearing news stories tailored just for me sounds ignorant. News shouldn't be a thing which I am allowed to filter based on my biases.

If Heroku simply re-sold AWS, people wouldn't use them. The argument that AWS's falling prices should be passed on to customer's is logical only if you're ignoring that Heroku is using the savings to build and increase the performance of their platform.

It's really the complete opposite case, I think. For the value (time is money!) they offer, it's amazing they haven't increased their prices as they scale.

This is the most real reason to live in Bay Ridge. It's a suburb, realistically, but connected to a subway and within shooting distance of a lot of useful/interesting stuff.

I don't find myself often venturing to uptown Manhattan, Williamsburg, or anywhere in Queens. My fiancee and I live in Bay Ridge, some family members live in the West Village, and most of our friends live Southern/"Middle" Brooklyn – Park Slope, Bed Stuy, etc.

THAT SAID: The more wholesome amenities available in Bay Ridge blow away most everything else available in Brooklyn (notable exceptions are only Park Slope, BoCoCa, Williamsburg proper). Considering the price, a bargain of a neighborhood. Dining/Drinking-wise, the neighborhood itself is going through a small revolution. Good stuff happening. Super livable area.

Three hours a day on the subway from almost anywhere in Brooklyn to almost anywhere in Manhattan is a stretch. I commute from Bay Ridge - the far end of the "R" line in Brooklyn, and not express - to Little Italy, daily. Door-to-door, the commute is about 45 minutes. My rent is under $1600 for a large 1BR in an elevator building with laundry.

Coming from Philadelphia, where I lived in a 2BR HOUSE with a yard and all the amenities for $400/mo less, there was some sticker shock. But when you get to it, there's a lot more opportunity, a lot more options, a lot more of...everything. New York is about "a lot". That's what you pay for.

People seem to be unwilling to explore neighborhoods outside of a 20-minute ride to down/midtown hotspots, which reasonably cost considerably more. If you can stomach an extra 10-20m on the subway you can find very livable rents in good neighborhoods.

The thing about ingrained racism and sexism is that it's rarely done out of malice or in an obvious, "WHOA THATS RACIST/SEXIST MAN," way. It was bullying and a expression of power, whether or not the participants were aware of themselves enough to realize it.

As an American, it's best to understand this.

Threes! was the original, not "nearly a clone".

The original web 2048, true. And I've got no qualms with that version. OP took some open source code, modified the stylesheet, and added some animations. It caught on - cool, whatever.

However, the "official" mobile version of 2048 - which this blog post is specifically promoting - was created with full knowledge of Threes!.

Agreed, but I'd argue that the only "improvement" 2048 made over Threes! was its pricetag.

Well, we all have the opportunity to steal things in everyday life. But in the human space outside of the twilight zone we call "HN", there are laws that keep people from profiting from stolen material. Unfortunately, you're enabled by the app stores and their allowance this type of theft. Calling it an opportunity doesn't mean you should take it.

You already had the gift of recognition, even for something that wasn't truly your own creation. Did it need to be milked further, or could you have moved on and created another game, riding your reputation? That's a big "if", but it would have been the right thing to do.

That's unfortunate. Of course, the ideal is a well distributed gender ratio, but real people look...real. And it's usually pretty obvious when this sort of "whitewashing" is happening.
