What is the cause of ADHD? There is no physical test for it and its cause is unknown. Some experts believe it is caused by other things, like patterns of thinking.

There is absolutely no evidence that millions of people have a physical biological issue where a stimulant effects them differently than normal people.

An amphetamine is an amphetamine is an amphetamine.

And:

A new study challenges the popular idea that dysfunction in dopamine — a chemical that controls the brain’s reward and pleasure centers — is the main cause of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

In truth, the “chemical imbalance” notion was always a kind of urban legend- - never a theory seriously propounded by well-informed psychiatrists. -

Call me socialist but I actually kinda like the idea that my country can just nationalise whatever if we just so feel like it. Sure, it would ruin our reputation, but I like to think sovereignty means something, right?

I tell you what, if I was PM of my country and, say, a foreign company discovered a significant oil field within our territory, I would want to nationalise the shit out of it, reputation be damned.

I agree about the quality of discussion on HN - although you should also find the communities at AskCulinary and AskHistorians quite troll-free - AskHistorians in particular has a very strict policy on rigorous answers that can be fact-checked.
How is discourse "for developers"? And how do you call his post "cheap shots from the outliers" when he repeated the success in another domain?
I see how a lot of people in this thread are just conservative American thinking "government is bad" and "private is good". Very open minded for HN.

> This isnt about Telegram.

Yes it is: the article is about Telegram and you yourself bought up cryptography keys. You implied that Telegram had some unsubstantiated correlation to the Obama administration (regardless of what previous administrations have done). You're veering wildly off-topic into a typical flamewar topic with no evidence, as well as asserting without justification that I am clueless about IS.

> [1]: Please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them.

That is to say, it's probably best to be done here.

Nothing in ISDS stops the state from leaving the treaty and nationalizing anything it wants. The state and people are still supreme. What they can't do is join a free trade treaty, "trick" companies into investing, and then expropriate assets while still enjoying the benefits of free trade.

The problem with TPP is the ISDS goes far beyond these simple goals (the treaty has been "commandeered by corporations", if you like).

But for simple, limited protection of assets in foreign countries, it's a good thing, encouraging inward investment.

There will be convergence between sports and video games - probably to the annoyance of both sides, at first - because it already is converging.
As I explained, the difference is that in one case you have one vtable per object in the vector, in the other case you have one vtable for the whole vector. With one vtable per object you can have one vector containing objects of two different types that implement the same trait with a different vtable. With one vtable for the whole vector you cannot. The same difference exists in many languages, e.g. C# List<IFoo> vs List<T> where T:IFoo.

Victim blaming is an ideal that often forgets to factor in realities.

Theoretically, you should be able to walk into a Hell's Angels biker bar at 11pm on a Saturday evening and shout aloud "Only assholes ride a Harley!", then walk out. Theoretically you don't pose a credible threat to anyone and you merely state your opinion. In an ideally perfect world you should have nothing to worry about. But it just might be the most stupid thing you can do in ten seconds.

There's a difference between saying the consequences are completely the victim's fault versus thinking that the victim should have a license to do stupid things and yet get away with it against some, if not all, odds.

What happened to the guy who got his money confiscated is completely unfair but there was a wide range of choices he could've realistically made to avoid the unfairness from taking place. That's not victim blaming.
This really has nothing to do with the study but congrats ... I guess.

You can get that with a good induction stove. I still prefer gas, but induction is pretty good. Other advantages of gas are for example the ability to use non-flat pots (woks or similar). On the other hand it's much harder to clean.
The rise in use of the word “humans”
Exactly. This is a "thin end of the wedge" argument.

If you agree that certain actions can be moral in limited circumstances, you also agree to support the moral logic they're based on, on principle - even if that moral logic does huge harm elsewhere.

It's a superficially clever rhetorical argument, but it's not a very moral one.

If you're a poor person, you don't want to be in situation where PETA are offering to interfere in your life to make a political point - you want to be in a situation where you're not poor in the first place.

There's no point saying that bandaids can stop people bleeding and people who don't want to use them are bad, if you don't address why there are flesh wounds everywhere you look.

Are bandaids better than nothing? They are. But there are still people trying to fix the flesh wounds. Does the author support them, or not?
Oh, but that's the whole paradox of this life - 'satisfaction' is a moving target, not a fixed point.

In fact, this is what life is about - getting from the current 'not so satisfied' point to the next 'a bit more satisfied'.

First we have our bodies - which need food and shelter and can get sick and hurt.
So one of our tasks in life is to constantly keep our bodies satisfied - hunger, thirst, piss, shit, cold, hot, pain, horny.
This takes a lot of our energy/time.

Then we have the effects of mortality - parents, children, friends, pets - every living being dies eventually and this generates suffering inside us (unless we are the one dying, which generates suffering inside everyone we love).

Then we have the whole of our society - competition, job, class struggle, bugs in our software... too many to enumerate.

Total satisfaction ('bliss') is only possible for short periods of time (until hunger strikes or the bladder's full) and it's a function of a realisation, of letting go, of simplifying the requirements for 'satisfied'.
This is what the monks do - they let go of everything 'worldly' in exchange for a much simpler achievement of 'satisfied'.

But then, of course, we don't want to live like monks, so we want more comfort and hence a more complex problem to solve.

> Consider that the US and Israeli Governments are responsible for far more loss of innocent lives per year than any of these terrorist groups.

That might possibly be true of the US government, given it's at war in plenty of places, but AFAIK israel is only in one theater, and the death toll among palestinians in 2014 (the highest number in recent times) was reportedly 2300[0]. Citation needed?

ISIS is reported to have killed a lot more people.

Also, israel mostly states "we will defend ourselves", and so does the US. As much as that might be BS, it's not as bad as ISIS explicitly stating it wants to erase other cultures.

> I would think that people that were baking all the time would build up so much practice and experience that they could probably be surprisingly consistent.

I used to live round the corner from a baker that was still doing most steps by hand. I could tell from the shape of the rolls whether he was up long the day before. Practice makes you pretty consistent, but there are so many factors influencing the result that it's never exactly the same - which is part of the appeal.

I had a look too, and it seems it's an editor for XML + css-like + javascript... XML is used to describe the interface (there's no HTML), CSS is used to style the native components, and Javascript is used to script the whole thing.

These are native components. They offer access to some of the hardware and OS through JS.

Looks like "React Native" more than anything, some kind of "jQuery Native"... That's pretty interesting.

Apple Is Said to Deactivate Its News App in China
Continuous Integration and Security Visually Explained
Near perpetual motion machines, near infinite compression schemes, nearly magical medical solutions: people keep pouring money into stuff that qualified scientists say is simply not possible. If the majority of people with relevant expertise say something is not possible, people should just believe them. They will say more careful things like 'there are technological difficulties' or "I don't see how you could make that work, but I guess it could be possible" if there is a possibility something will work.

Years ago the same kind of idea was charging phones by wifi and other EM radiation ubiquitously available. A short calculation by any physics undergraduate shows that it is simply impossible. Nevertheless people invested in companies pursuing the idea. A prototype was presented at expos. The result: nothing. On the other hand, charging by induction was never said to be impossible.
The problem is that this is just rephrasing "survival of the fittest," a concept misappropriated from evolutionary theory into societal planning numerous times by despots, and which - to my mind - has no place in a society mindful of its incomplete information about what constitutes "fittest."
Even if they wouldn't - isn't the waste of time and money of courts enough? My government has really more important things to spend money on (like healthcare, social services, basic infrastructure) than beat away foreign corporation lawyers.

A good start would be the ISTQB foundation level syllabus. While the ISTQB seem to be a litte outdated in terms of their views on the software development process: A focus on sequential waterfall-like models - it is a good resource to learn the vocabulary of software testing. Furthermore it explains different types and stages of software testing: http://www.istqb.org/downloads/viewdownload/16/15.html
I'll add to that - In what "normal langs" is this not a problem?

What would a C or C++ programmer expect? Because my experience in those languages says "casting" is a meaningless way to understand what's going on.

Perl doesn't have bareword true/falue values. Ruby doesn't use "casting", I think. That is, I think the idiomatic way to express this in Ruby is:

>> !!true.to_s
=> true
>> !!false.to_s
=> true
No, I'm not bothered. I find it richly rewarding. I just know that the real world, nature, is worth admiring and being totally impressed and blown away with. As an example, I find life explained in natural terms and diversity of life via evolution to be far more inspiring and impressive (and elegant) than life explained via divine will. Not that you're suggesting that but just as a comparison.

I think it's worth encouraging people to be impressed with physical reality, with the amazing stuff that gets produced that way, rather than needing to discard reality as if it wasn't sufficient enough.

For an even simpler and perhaps baser phenomenon: the female form, for me. Without going into details, I find it rather amazing how something so "ordinary" can, at times, produce such powerful emotion/experience (not even referring to actual sex). Sure, perhaps it's not quite as strong as psychedelics, but I've yet to hear anyone seriously suggest that physical attraction needs explanations beyond materialism. Why should acid be qualitatively different? (I've experienced real delusions, too - all seems perfectly in line with a materialistic view of the mind.)
Are you saying that they were a lot 'better' at helping other nations ? Better in execution and/or human view ? I know nothing about this.
> So what if the PETA case offers a deal that is accepted under the circumstances those families are actually in?

Where does it stop? How is that morally different from a $denomination religious charity offering aid conditioned on your family joining the faith? I find that disgusting and manipulative.

And that's not the worst. To take another example, it's like an insurance company offering to lower your costs in exchange for having your driving and dietary habits tracked. It's all voluntary, sure. Except that ten years later, the rest of the market has taken note and it has become mandatory.

> The "more fair" solutions to the problem of surge pricing involve either Uber themselves paying out of pocket, drivers not receiving fair compensation, or neglecting to tackle the problem at all.

Random assignment would be a fair outcome, where everybody gets paid, and people get a chance of getting a ride.
You might post this as an HN submission.
How much of this is productivity and how much is merely increased revenue? If you assume that costs are not linear with large economies of scale (which is not such a wild assumption), then some of this "productivity" increase can be attributed to rent taking; especially so when taking into account the power law distribution at the thick end of markets and reduction of competitiveness at the big end.
The moral can't be too high in North Korea.
If it weren't the state, it could just as easily have been an ordinary mugger, or an airline employee theft, or simple airline incompetence.

We, as a society condemn muggers and thieves. We, as a society hold airlines responsible for safely transporting baggage without losing it or its contents. We lock muggers and thieves in cages to discourage such behavior and isolate those who perpetrate it from everyone else. We require airlines to pay compensation (up to $3000 in the US) to people whose property they lose.

We should similarly condemn the state behaving in a way that produces the same result as a mugger.
What makes conversations about this very confusing is the fact that neurotransmitters and "chemical imbalances" cannot be seen in isolation. What we are talking about is signalling inside particular structures. Changes in signalling over time effect changes in structure, just like different behaviour does. (actually different behaviour IS change in signalling)

Thus it's no wonder that psychiatric drugs have so many unpredictable effects. Administration of amphetamine might calm you, by exciting a down-regulating part of your brain, that is "structured correctly" (lack of a better word) and simultaneously give you anxiety by exciting the amygdala. It differs from person to person.

It's also no wonder that people and scientists interchangeably exclaim "Behaviour!", "Genes!", "Education!", "Lack of dopamine!" when trying to explain ADHD. It's a mixture of all of those things, but there is definitely a genetic component, which seems to make certain kinds of people way way less apt in controlling their impulses.

Psychiatric drugs don't change the structure of your brain, but, if administered carefully, they lower the bar to change it by behaviour and thoughts, thus being ultimately able to get rid of the medication all together.

Don't put too much store in early downvotes. It still usually balances itself out.

I still don't quite get what you meant.
Hmmm. I think you're looking at this the wrong way: it is not he who should be learning more about manual testing, it is you who needs to learn about how to write manual tests.

Manual testing is not at all that different from, say, integration testing: you write a specification of a task that needs to be performed, you write down the expected output, and you compare it with the actual output.

What you end up with is a document containing dozens of pages full of small tables with test specifications, somewhat like [1].

So, to sum it up, it is you who should be doing the hard work of finding out what to test. You make a document full of tests which are as specific as possible, and let your partner walk through it. He doesn't understand what to do? Then you failed at being specific. He cannot find the functionality you ask for? Either a usability issue, or once again, not specific enough.

Hope this helps you somewhat!

No. By this logic, giving any organization power is giving power to the people, because all organizations are "essentially groups of people". But that's clearly fallacious -- in all but the most bizarre cases, the local warlord's crime organization isn't nearly as representative of the will of the people as a democratically elected local government.

Companies are not democracies. Especially multi-national corporations and the lobbying arms of entire industries are in no sense representative of the will of the general public -- or even of their own employees (see unions)! This is significant because it is categorically not possible to actually choose not to interact with a particular corporation. In fact, the historical truth of that observation is the root cause of environmental, health, and many other regulations.

A defining characteristic of democracy is one person, one vote, and it is that characteristic that safeguards the will of the people. There is no corporate structure (other than unrepresentative radical experimental structures) that even conceits to affording one vote to each person. In fact, there's no provision of the TPP that requires the suing company to be publicly traded, so in some cases it may not even be possible to buy votes.
The author implies that the gap is due to lack of diffusion and that this is a problem that should be addressed and corrected. I think that the real issue is much simpler:

Technology has made manufacturing, services, mass communication, and markets much more efficient. When they are efficient, competition creates fewer winners and the winners win big.

If you want to understand inequality understand that. This is fundamental economics. We can dream of a world where there are 1500 different brands of phone each having close to equal market share but when one gains advantage, the advantages multiply and you end up with one or two major phone manufacturers. Propping up the other ones is nice, and may do some local good, but it's Sisyphean - it won't change the dynamics.
Your statement fails to represent the reality in that corporations are inherently undemocratic. They are groups of people controlled by a few people with all the money and therefore power.
This really does have a stench of scam and a whiff of foolish VC on it. But just like cold fusion you hope deep down that it might be possible.

I took a look at the patents which are easily found by searching on google patents for ubeam as assignee and there just wasn't that much disclosed. Sort of vague references to steering a beam. It did not appear to be enough to 'enable one skilled in the art to practice the invention.'

http://www.google.com/patents/US20150214764 (for example)

I did notice one thing: mention is made of capactivie micro-machines ultrasonic transducers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_micromachined_ultra... which seem to be in the same family as the micromachined mirror arrays commonly used in DLP projectors. My only experience with ultrasonic is with piezo.

One thing that I learned back then was that ultrasonics -bounce-. Aiming would be really, really hard. Not to mention that one thing people worry about in this field of steered array ultrasonics is 'necrosis' (which I don't like the sound of). Turns out that people use high powered steered beams to peer into peoples' skulls and to do things to the grey matter:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3002099/

Even assuming arguendo that it would be possible to transmit measurable power via a steered ultrasonic beam, I certainly don't want to do it anywhere near my head!
One thing I fail to understand is, why don't these people unionize? That's what organized labour is for: to protect a workforce from abusive conditions in the workplace. Why let the sociopaths win?
