I think people are dismissing / overlooking your comment, but I've seen exactly this time and time again.

Anecdotally: I developed a drinking problem in my first few years of work, which I used to deal with anxiety and depression as I failed to find my feet and seriously questioned dropping out of software development.

I was eventually diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive) and through treatment, experienced a complete life change.

I stopped drinking excessively, then almost completely. I never tried to address the problem directly, I just lost any desire to drink outside of a normal social context. Even then, I rarely have more than 2-3 in a night.

I'm on stimulants for treatment, but take breaks some weekends and over holidays. I've always been a coffee drinker, but now I'm conscious of how much I'm drawn to it for the positive effects I see.

I honestly think it was the only reason I got through university (before diagnosed / treated for ADHD). I was using caffeine in the same way I use my current medication, to fill the same gaps.

I don't want to comment on the effectiveness of self medication, or anything diagnosis related. I just find it interesting the correlation between certain personality types and the class of drugs they seem to be drawn to. I think it offers a lot of psychological insight we haven't really looked at in detail.
Sonder – A Dixie Cup to Save You (Lyric Video)
For note taking, I generally stick to first writing things down on paper, then copying them to OneNote later. I figure this gives me the best of both worlds, I get the better retention from handwriting, get to review my notes as I copy them, and get the notes in a format I can always access.

Organization, though... Man, no matter how hard I try, I just can't stick to any organization system, paper or digital. I wanted to bullet journal, I really did, but I have notebooks worth of failed organizing attempts. It's sad.
Counter arguments.

1. Many people that vape use it as a method to wean themselves off of nicotine completely. Since you can adjust the level of nicotine, they just use less and less until they aren't having any at all. Out of people I know that vape 3 have quit vaping/nicotine completely after a year or two, 1 vapes with no nicotine, and I vape with 1mg/ml of nicotine.

2. If someone has tried to quit smoking but keeps falling back, isn't vaping a better alternative? If someone is going to be addicted to nicotine, isn't it better that they vape rather than smoke since the harm is drastically less?
Hey, thanks. After bloviating that I've tried everything--you made me a liar. I do need to try that.
Psychologists have different training then psychiatrist do, a psychiatric degree requires an MD first. Generally psychologists do not prescribe medicine. So this paper does not really apply to psychiatrists. Also more highly educated people vote as democrats more often.
This is why I keep a roof Korean in my trunk.
Yes, but the docker for mac uses 100% cpu per core if watching files. I think it's reasonable to assume using a better virtual machine (possibly including vmware and parallels, maybe virtualbox) means that file system events are less buggy.
Yeah, I didn't say that at all. I said: "many places don't have enough PM rigor to make remote work sensible."
i would not trust any apple service to host/preserve my images. just have had way too many instances where images just disappear. and afaik they still haven't really explained the connection between all the celebrity phones being hacked when they were all using icloud (if someone has a link that'd be nice)
So obviously single payer is a system that is what most would strive for. But could it work in the US?

I am from Denmark originally where we have it and it's not without issues because suddenly you turn a profit center into a cost center which means you need to budget and you need to restrict who can get what, how much you can afford etc.

What about illegal immigration, do people who are here illegally get access too?

These are all questions that are very hard to answer IMO because the US after all is such an open society.
On that subject I wanted to ask:

Are the services that Planned Parenthood provide so economically unviable that they require the life support and political will of the US Government?

Why can't a competitor or even a Bill Gates philanthropic initiative be a private sector version of the same thing?
Are there any ultrabooks with OTG/USB charging support?

I can tell you that in Japan, the vast majority of problems face are cultural and language related. If you speak Japanese fluently and you know exactly what you are supposed to do, then you will have very little trouble being accepted into the culture. If you hold on to a western view point and hold western values, then you will have difficulty being accepted by most of the society.

I remember someone telling an interesting story on this topic, which I think illustrates the issue very well. If you happen into a neighbourhood that has a sumo training centre (called a heya), you will often see a sign on the wall that says, "No foreigners". Discrimination is not illegal in Japan.

An acquaintance of mine (and a foreigner) was well hooked up with a particular heya and he asked some vising friends if they wanted to visit the heya and watch the sumo wrestlers train. When they arrived at the heya, his friends saw the sign and asked if it was really OK. He replied, "If you know how to properly make an appointment, then you are Japanese as far as they are concerned."

I've been here 10 years and I'm definitely accepted by my family and my neighbours. And if there are people who don't accept me, then I will be the last person to hear about it (because that's Japanese culture). I won't say there isn't racism, but it's really on par with every other country I've lived in (Canada, US and the UK).

I'm not a lawyer but it seems kind of like these politicians might be setting themselves up to become targets of a RICO investigation.

I made this because I'm tired of seeing political flame-stories on here and I hate flagging them or, even worse, going in the threads to complain about them.

With this extension you can make a comma-separated list of words that when matched within a headline, the link is removed from the page before you ever see it.

Seems a little redundant
I grew up in a house that had the massively thick kind of exterior blinds everywhere, the ones that really make your room pitch dark ("Außenrolläden" in my native language). After moving out from my parent's house I have lived in several places, but often in older buildings without decent blinds. I didn't realize the influence this may have had on me before a temporary room mate pointed out that the room is far too bright for her at night.

Sleeping masks did not help me too, so I got thick blackout curtains for my next flat, and the first effect was that I suddenly had vivid dreams again regularly, which I only had occasionally in the years before. I am considerably more alert during the day now. In retrospect I indeed must have felt constantly slightly tired for years during the day, after sleeping in such rooms.

It is possibly dangerous to sleep in even slightly light rooms. The lowered levels of melatonin are correlated to several bad illnesses (just look it up). I push my SO who still sleeps in a too bright apartment to regularly wear his sleeping mask at least, but people who have never slept in really dark rooms for prolonged time may simply not have the experience points here.

The key difference with Aeson is this line:

Because of this, it's not necessary in that example to even write the JSON decoder manually. The compiler can generate it on its own. I don't personally know of any way to achieve this in Elm, as Elm doesn't have typeclasses and what's effectively happening here is that an instance of the FromJSON typeclass is being computed by the compiler.

A very similar trick is possible in PureScript:

Yes, thanks, only his answer to the post you linked to is more than enough to demonstrate how wrong it was allowing him to be responsible for anything. How many years did he manage to block the improvements?

To get back to the topic we discuss: the patch sent there (and rejected by UD) speeds up loading everywhere glibc is used! And that's the pure CPU speedup, no matter how fast SSD you have!

Reading the question of Michael Meeks, it was just a proof of concept, maybe the whole mechanism can be improved even more, he comments his own work:

"Is there a better way to achieve what I do in dl-deps.c? the umpteen-string compares are clearly highly evil"

Anybody knows the status of uclibc? How do they do it? If nobody knows, anybody willing to measure how much the same version of OO needs on the same hardware with glibc and uclibc?
Actually if you read the paper, the architecture is designed in such a way that the key management server can be implemented as an on-premise box while all the rest of your data lives in Cisco's cloud. In that situation, Cisco has access to your data but it's fully encrypted with keys that they do not have access to, making it a true end-to-end solution. It's a pretty interesting design that allows companies to be the only ones with access to the raw, unencrypted data while still letting Cisco manage everything in the cloud.

Now this does only apply for companies that choose to go with the on-premise KMS, if not, Cisco manages the KMS in their own cloud as well, which does mean it's not a true e2e solution (although like I said, I can speak with a pretty high level of confidence that security is one of the top priorities)

At least some of the stupidity must be due to how many good ex-Google engineers I've met - and how many lame duck engineers who have positioned their resumes and lives just to be hired there for status purposes.
Your idea of opt-{in, out} is a good one. It would integrate enough data with time, I think.

"Open Data Foundation" + "World Wide Distributed Processing" would really make a revolution here.
We need break urgently the monopoly over data.
You bring up justice system and cases, but you fail to remember that we're talking about a company deciding not to do business with someone.
Just because it's better doesn't mean it's good. Inhaling large amounts of steam or smoke is bad for your lungs, even if it doesn't contain any carcinogens. Also, nicotine is addictive, so taking it "just because" is a bad idea (taking it to treat something is a different story, obviously). Of course, if you're looking to intake nicotine for some reason, vaping is vastly superior to smoking.

"5 people killed in riot" is still a 95% improvement over "100 people killed in riot" but that doesn't make it a good thing.
Thanks for sharing your experience. As a substance nerd I find all this info very helpful and illuminating. Are you familiar with Erowid?

You misunderstood "a solution" to mean the only optimal solution. Also, note that Nash equilibrium assumes the opponent does not change strategy. Once you relax that assumption, especially with the idea that you can induce change, another strategy becomes viable.

Check out the "Occurrence" section in the article you linked to.
Nahh. The agency the corps hired, the Pinkertons, had full rights to murder people for not doing their job! I mean, this is laissez faire capitalism - of course the ones with the money have rights over other humans! /s

FWIW, when the previous FCC chairman was nominated there was concern about his being a former industry lobbyist [1] - but he supported net neutrality strongly. (On the other hand, he and the Obama administration didn't do much to prevent mergers like Charter + TWC, etc.)

I have read a really good book on this subject:

I think it is only available in German.
"Up to one year" has a very specific meaning. In most cases a crime that is not punishable by more than one year in prison is not a felony, in fact this is often the primary distinction between a misdemeanor and a felony.
They're called analysts for a reason, their daily work is much closer to research than refactoring code for yet another form-based web app.
Humans seem to innately require a kind of redemptive soteriology. For many cultures, this was the role of the shaman/medicine man. Insofar as therapists/psychologists/psychiatrists now fill that niche, it would seem right that they offer the analysand new/fruitful/exploratory possibilities, rather than mere regurgitation.
A critic of capitalism might consider both the psychiatrist's laziness and your own dismissive tone products of an unexamined assumption that the "division of labor" optimally solves all problems economic and existential alike. The division of labor works well on the assembly line, but does it work well for the health of the human being, especially psychological?
Wow, what a shocker! I used GV for _years_ as my primary number, but had to stop recently because the apps were so terrible.

Something else I hope they've fixed: many web sites could not send SMS to GV numbers. For example my Chase bank account. I could never get a text code to login with a new device, so had to use email to verify instead. I experienced probably a dozen services that could not send to GV.

Refresh looks great! Can't wait to try it out.

As far as I know, security has always been one of Cisco's top priorities which is one of the reasons they have been so strong in the enterprise market. It's almost inevitable at some point that bugs like the one in the link here pop up but I haven't heard of any backdoors or nefarious practices from Cisco in the past.
Actually it does not contradict the absolutely correct portrayal of him as a racist.

1. He did not speak of India and Indians in the same way he did Mexico and Mexicans, of which was textbook racism, i.e. generalizing negative stereotypes based on ethnicity, promotion of conspiracy theories, etc.
2. Racism applies to attitudes/beliefs towards individual ethnicities, not all of them together.
3. Being cordial/friendly to individual members does not trump (pun intended) discriminatory attitudes towards the race as a whole. "I can't be a racist, I have a black friend!"

It IS, however, reasonable to expect McDonald's, knowing the temperatures at which they serve coffee, to do so in a vessel that can withstand the heat.

And actually they had plenty of complaints of injury on their coffee. It just happened that none involved scalding someone's genitals off.
Targacept was a biotech company that spun off from RJ Reynolds [1] with the goal of making drugs related to nicotine that would help with schizophrenia and other psychiatric/neurological disorders. They tried really hard, and it didn't work [2].

This means also trusting their home (cheap door, no alarm, landlord, kids, wife...) and malware-infested computer with business data. It kind of implies that company data is on computers with internet connections, which is a no-no if you care about security.
Even a large majority of the US (geographically, not population wise). Any place in the top half of the US which is not on the pacific coast is going to be facing snow and ice for a good portion of the winter.

Living in the Silicon Valley, where the days are always above 50 and mostly sunny, really skews your expectations of what the rest of the country faces for weather.
I once went on a blind date with a prosecutor from a large city, who worked in a department that investigated corrupt cops, lawyers, politicians and city employees. She said some of them were straight up psycholopaths that needed the book thrown at them. Others who had a singular lapse in judgment and found themselves on the wrong side of the law received some leniency. So penalties like this are to give the judge or jury a tool to remove someone permanently from the position they abuse, or to give them an opportunity to make amends. Or re-offend but second offenses often carry stiffer penalties.
The guy on this page is, "Jan Jedrzejowicz." I'm going to hit him up on LinkedIn and ask him if he can ask his superiors about their focus or lack thereof on GV's future. And if they're not willing to give a detailed answer, then whether they believe their GV customers are entitled to one...
I feel like CTCI would get you into Amazon/Microsoft but not Goog/Fb. There's much harder questions in EPI that are part of the regular circuit at these companies.
> If they allow anyone to send money anywhere, they get fined by the government for supporting criminals.

They could allow the transactions, but secretly support anything suspicious to government anti-terrorist agencies. They wouldn't get called racist because any transactions they block were at the behest of the government. They wouldn't get in trouble with the government because they're handing all their data to them. And customers wouldn't complain they're divulging private data customers people wouldn't know. It's a win-win-win.
Just flew back to the US from Spain last week and had SSSS on my ticket. Fun times...
This is factually wrong. I have been providing health care for my employees since 2001. Pre ACA, rates rose 20% per year. Post ACA we've seen 5% raises most years, one year we saw a decrease, and this year, we saw 9%.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit_knowledge

Humans transfer knowledge most effectively when they are communicating in person. Of course this does not mean you will achieve the highest productivity in an office by putting 20 people in the same room, but it still says a lot about in office vs complete remote work.

A lot of companies create the type of culture where it's not pleasant to work in the office. However, having half you team work remotely on random days of the week isn't the right solution to this, and I don't think it could be justified by saying "I trust my employees". Just create the right team and the right environment. People will want to spend time together when there is inspiration and motivation involved.

There is a lot more to the implications of strong tacit information transfer that extends to how innovation ecosystems work. For anyone curious I would suggest finding the research around the subject.
It'd be a hell of a commute.
Thanks! That's a pretty good summery I guess. But there's a lot of outright bullying going on as well. I guess this where a lot of foreigners draw their line.
Better to be lazy with your power than proactive. First do no harm.
Thought the same thing.

All this because of how much their last keynote sucked?

Honestly, I was waiting for a retina Air and I was very bummed—to the point of looking at alternatives and trying Linux for a couple weeks—but I've tried the new MacBook at the Apple store a few times, and while I still think it's extremely overpriced, there are still no better laptops around on many metrics. The keyboard is absolutely awesome to type on, I can type about twice as fast on it. Since their trackpad was already the best, they now have the best trackpad and the best keyboard on the market.

I'm buying the new MacBook (the one without their retarded touchbar), and it looks like a lot of other people are doing the same thing.

If they stop removing ports and headphone jacks, they should be alright for another couple of decades.
Well you're right: maybe Pai doesn't hate consumers (though if we treat him as honest, he's dim enough to inadvertently be anti-consumer[0]), and he has very different views about how to drive innovation.[1] But it's about increasing investment and profitability for large ISPs through some of their more despised ideas that the net neutrality rules tried to preempt: expensive peering, paid speedups, and tiered access for consumers.[2] All of these things are very bad for tech startups and tech-savvy consumers. You're not going to find much sympathy for those ideas 'round these parts, or really anywhere outside Comcast's boardroom.
