I think it's great physicians are able to better diagnose disease and are able to see it when it manifests itself in populations where observation was missed or ignored for different reasons (bias, exposure, expectations, etc).

There needs to be better understanding so that boys don't get over diagnosed and women don't get underdiagnosed.

I find it unfortunate the author found it necessary to mention "white boys" throughout the article. What about ADHD in populations where there are few whites, say Asia, Africa, what has been observed there?

Do we need to inject everything with race and gender? I know it's important to lessen the effect of race and gender on things, but this over emphasis on race and gender on everything seems frivolous. Here I don't think it adds to the discussion.

I think the author has not suitably made her point about the symptoms expressed by female vs. male sufferers of ADHD.

I am a young male suffering from ADHD. I've never exhibited hyperactive symptoms. By all measures, my symptoms are very similar to the authors. I too had a very difficult time expressing my illness to my family and friends (I did not tell my parents for years in fear of being ridiculed, or worse, cut off from my medication). When I did come out, I found the same reactions the author did.

My experience is just one of many, and it's impossible to tell how many other sufferers there are out there that face the same challenges as I did. I think the author crossed a bridge too far by characterizing it as a gender issue when her arguments can apply equally to male sufferers of the passive inattentive variant of ADHD.

Having ridden a 600W electric skateboard, I think 20mph is plenty. They don't brake as well as bicycles -- they can't, because of the need to shift one's weight to stay balanced during braking.

Hm. People (at least I do) have a bias towards small numbers. Given the choice, I'd probably choose something below 20. I don't know how representative I am of the general population, but I'd guess the average to be around 15 and choose 10.

Self, intentionality and free will are mental concepts, not external objects to be observed from a third person perspective and studied like atoms and force fields. When trying to apply physics to psychology, such as trying to relate determinism and free will, a mixup of language domains occurs. Free will has a first person perspective (subjectivity) that places it on a different domain than physical forces and particles which can be observed externally.

You know, if we hadn't had such a "Nukes are bad, m'kay" moment in the 70s, we wouldn't be limping along with so many old, past-their-prime plants now, and there'd have been more incentive to continue refining designs for nuclear power. What plants we have are less efficient than they could be, and are pushing up against their designed lifetimes.

>treating your subjects like people - explaining what you're doing, engaging with them respectfully

No qualms with that --most experienced photographers will follow that advice. Still, all photographers have the right to photograph in public.

A tiny minority of the time people don't give the photographer time to explain, fortunately most times, people act indifferently, but sometimes annoyed and self righteous and seldomly violent.

There is a misconception however, by some people, even the ones who are agreeable that a photographer needs permission. It's simply not true. But yes, I agree they need to respect people as much as they can. (if you're going to photograph a man passed out in vomit for some kind of documentary, avoid showing their recognizable face, for example, but that's not a fast rule.
Japan is a linguistic minefield and defies generalization. In Ainu 'nanna' is mother and in Okinawan it's 'anma'. In Old Japanese there's 'haha' (and variants - 'papa' appears to have been prevelent in Old Japanese, see link in cousin post) and 'amo'.

Also note: while 'mama' is a loanword it's overwhelmingly what babies call their mothers in Japan i.e. it has outcompeted other words likely for the same reasons as said in the article.
You're so paralyzed by fear of a nuclear accident you miss the big picture. For example, the fly ash emitted burning coal for electricity carries into the surrounding environment 100 times more radiation than a nuclear power plant producing the same amount of energy.[1] Sure the results of a nuclear meltdown are scary on the local level. But you know what's a lot scarier on the global level? Runaway climate change.
It took the worse earthquake in the Japan's recorded history along with several human mistakes on an outdated reactor to cause Fukushima. And we don't more of these designs.

Like the article discussed, what we want is the government to be smart about nuclear power. There 7 million deaths annually due to air pollution. How many American lives are lost due to terrorism? And yet we wasted $4 trillion in the Middle East after 911. Imagine if we spent that on new reactor designs and fusion research?

Global warming is the biggest threat facing our species. It's time we stopped worrying about our neighborhood and starting thinking about our planet.

I met Bernstein a few months ago after he gave a talk about this same subject. In his talk he pretended to be a Verizon employee, explaining how vital it is to him and his company that they can track what their users are doing on their network in order to improve their advertising services. (Without breaking character at any point, pretty impressive.) I guess it's easier to reason about these things when you're trying to break something, rather than trying to prevent it from happening.
Yeah, because the price people are paying is related to the actual costs of researching and producing it.

It is a common misconception that the US subsidizes others. Expenditures by US companies account for no more than 50% of pharmaceutical research among the top ten drug companies [0], so the rest of the world contributes as much as does the US. I don't think any other US spending could be considered a subsidy to others.

Wrong. The Cold War was why we built the nucular power stations we did. The uranium in those tens of thousands of nucular weapons came from somewhere - nucular power plants. Electricity was a mere by-product. None of those power plants were viable without there being the aspect of the Cold War imperative.

So it is the war-mongers and not the hippies to blame for whatever happened to nucular power.

I honestly can't figure out what the guy is thinking. He seems to feel the US has been a negative influence, in general, so it's time to pull back. Which is fine... except that wouldn't explain military adventures in Libya and Syria.

He doesn't want to meddle, but at the same time he wants things to turn out a certain way. So he's willing to bomb people we don't like and train their enemies, but he doesn't want to actually be committed to anything that might reflect badly on him if it went pear-shaped. You can't make alliances when your potential allies are (justifiably) worried you'll bug out at the first sign of adversity.
Don't confuse the pharmaceutical industry with any healthcare system. The quality and cost of hospitals, doctors, nurses, etc, in the RoW has nothing to do with how much Americans pay for drugs.

Yes, but very few of those are automated. Which is not surprising since the absence of types in Smalltalk can lead to refactorings that break your code, so user supervision is necessary.

Another reason is that tax havens (such as Cayman Islands, or within EU also Luxembourg or London) often have substantial amounts of financial services - lawyers and other experts are available. So, for the logistics of running headquarter functions, it's not necessarily that taxes are low, it's also that there's available expertise for operation.

Notepad Calculator: For jotting down quick calculations
You'd be surprised how similar Turkish and Korean actually is. Both coming from Altaic language group the grammatical structure is very similar. It blew my mind when I first learned about that. Take a look at this...

yap-mak == ka-da
yap-ma == ka-jima
yap-ma-yin == ka-jima-yo

They even have the same kinship rules as us (Abi, Abla, etc.). The more I'm digging in Korean culture the more similarities I'm finding during my short stay here.
Important to remember both that the same word can mean different things in a language and that multiple words can mean the same thing. What a baby tends to call his mother in a language might not be the stock dictionary translation.

In Korean, 엄마 (eomma) [ʌmma] and 아빠 (appa) are mom and dad in informal language...

It has absolutely nothing to do with subsidization by Americans. It's simply that universal health care allows patients to be fairly represented as consumers via insurance agencies.

The American health care system is a perfect example of what happens, if you confuse lack of government regulation with free markets. The resulting oligopoly and in some areas monopolys cause prices to increase massively, especially given the unique traits demand acquires when demand is literally wanting to survive. That's just basic economics and trivially easy to explain.

I think that, in general, anything that has no persistence can be shared-nothing. State in shared-nothing consists basically of a cache which is updated by subscribing to changes in the data store and being updated, with only a slight lag.

Shared-nothing can include environments like user agents, proxies and web servers.

As for the persistence layer / data store, it should support horizontal partitioning. Especially useful is range-based partitioning based on a primary key whose prefix contains a Geohash ... because then you can route requests to the closest Region on AWS or some other host.

If one of your shards gets too large you can split it into two or more shards. All the monitoring and splitting can be automated with dev ops in the cloud to provision machines etc. so you don't need to wake up at 3am.

With this setup you can reliably grow your data store to an arbitrary size, and literally have only O(log n) growth in latency for any request. However there is one more issue to solve:

When you need to perform database queries that return a cross product, or join, do you compute it on the fly for the request (eg with mapreduce) or do you precompute the result whenever a row is inserted into one of the joined tables? The second way can be done in the background and uses memory-time tradeoff to cause the queries to be O(1). This can be really useful for queries that need to get the answer in realtime.

I would recommend using evented (eg Node.js) servers for queries that involve hitting multiple shards at the same time, or mapreduce type things. Evented I/O lets you wait only as long as the longest query.

Finally, I don't think things like socket.io will be horizontally partitionable easily, eg to a node cluster, so you'll probably want to have server affinity on a per-room basis.

My university doesn't really have a concept of "The Network" being privileged or sensitive. It's just a route to the internet, like any other utility ISP. There's 802.1x authentication with your SSO credentials (both wired and wireless with WPA2 enterprise), so your actions are accountable, and if you're doing botnet/spam/blackhat things they can cut you off and come find you. WPA2 enterprise uses a certificate to authenticate the AP to the client, so pirate WiFi isn't a security issue either, just an interference problem.

Services are all exposed to the internet (mostly as webapps) with Shibboleth CAS/SSO authentication. The only thing you need "The Network" for is IP whitelisting for journals. There's a web proxy you can use for that if you're off campus. We also have a separate guest SSID that's routed through non-whitelisted IPs.

We have a distinction between "Managed Computer" and "other," where Managed Computers are required for data that's confidential or subject to regulation. I'm sure there are Managed Computers in finance/payroll/scary labs but your average professor or student doesn't need one.
