From a practical standpoint it's good for teams to be diverse and inclusive (it raises effectiveness, increases the talent pool, etc...) but also from a more philosophical point of view diversity and inclusion are necessary for an actual meritocracy as it's hard to say you have a true meritocracy when some people are hampered unnecessarily by cultural differences. The problem is that some people take "diversity initiatives" too far and it ends up being counterproductive (like agile and TDD and all that).
My ADHD isn't a disorder. It's my super power. I would gladly admit this to anyone; I mean it's not like they don't notice it within a few minutes.

I have been on meds for the past 2 years and started at 26. I don't think this is "fixing" as I'm on probably the lowest dosage. Since day 1 I felt the same way I did after coffee. Vyvanse to me is extended release caffeine which kicks in as my morning coffee wears off and carries me through the day.
As someone with ADHD, very much what you’re saying. The original name for ADHD was “minimal brain damage” and that’s what it’s always felt like to me. Mathematical concepts are something I manage well, but I’m laughably bad at mental arithmetic. I’ve more or less overcome my struggles with focus and attention, but I simply cannot do paired-word association, or directions. If I want to learn a new language, I need to be immersed in it, which is fun, but expensive and time consuming. Until GPS units, I couldn’t find my way out of a wet paper bag.

These things do not benefit me, or empower me. I feel a part of what I could have been is just out of reach, and that’s ADHD in a nutshell for me. If I’m being perfectly honest only two real positives exist as a result of ADHD for me:

First, I’ve always been able to utterly lose myself in a book, fiction or non-fiction. I’d be lying if I said that was always a good thing, but it can be useful. I tore my way through Gray’ Anatomy in a few days, while people I know took a month to do the same.

Second, I was lucky in having patient, yet firm parents who helped me learn what was socially acceptable at a young age. I don’t compulsively interrupt people, I can sit through a whole opera without blinking, and I have a strong verbal filter. The downside was that all of this was very hard-won, and at times painful for everyone involved.

All in all, I’d drop ADHD in a heartbeat if I could.

This transition period is ending this summer. Why is this discussion taking place now?

Because no-one thought to inform most of the businesses affected by it before, and awareness has only grown in recent weeks (and even then probably only among business people who frequent forums like HN where the subject has come up).
The article does clarify that this is with regards to moderate ADHD. In my personal opinion, most psychology disorders were named to differentiate from "normal". Who defines normal?
>I know from direct personal experience to be real threats

Access Controls, Data Classifications, and Privacy Impact Assessments requested by GDPR are not a threat.

That’s just security 101 basics.
One interesting part about this is that it's a letter, and the author never explicitly mentions that it was sent in an email. Assuming this letter arrives in the post one day, what do you do? Ask them to email you for verification? Send you one of their 2FA codes? What if your site doesn't have a login? Can they send you a screenshot of their IP address as verification?

I get why the EU didn't want to overly specify the method, but it creates a lot of uncertainty about what processes are allowed/required. And with the pressure of gigantic fines on the line, it seems like GDPR opens up a significant vector for stealing other people's information via GDPR requests.
Launch HN: Rhythmm (YC W18) – Create channels and broadcast them to an audience
Hi HN,

We’re Zach and George — the creators of Rhythmm (https://getrhythmm.com).

We want to bring back the blog, a page that you can do whatever you want with. A place where you — either by yourself or with a few friends — can broadcast to an audience. With a few friends, it reads like a conversation.

A few months ago, we wanted to create a music blog together. We started to look at our options for creating a music blog, and realized that there weren’t any good ones. We didn’t want to create our own website, because people would have to remember to visit our domain and wouldn’t get notified when we posted. We looked at other music blogs on the internet, but it seemed like most of them were dying or have already died. We wanted a place where we could both share and bounce music off each other, and have our friends subscribe. And we couldn’t find an easy way to do this. We realized that this same issue arises not just in music, but in many other areas.

So we created Rhythmm — a place where you can create a Slack-like channel that people can subscribe to. Do whatever you want with it. Here are some ideas:

- daily tips on Ableton, Sketch or Python

- interviews with interesting people (you'll see a few examples of this below)

- music/art blogs

- movie of the day

We just launched a few weeks ago, but here are a few channels that we think you might like:

(Note: We’re mobile first, so while you can view these channels, you’ll get the full experience on our iOS/Android apps)

Hear a daily interview with a different YC Winter 2018 company and learn what they do: https://getrhythmm.com/channel/yc-company-daily/

Learn about a different Blockchain company every week: https://getrhythmm.com/channel/blockchat/

Get a Netflix streaming recommendation every day: https://getrhythmm.com/channel/watch-this-movie/

We’re super early, and we’re not going to pretend that we know exactly what our end goal is with this product. But we want to get it in people’s hands and see what they can come up with. Excited to hear what you guys think :)

Thanks!

"It's very nearly a caste system- you can be born next door, speak the same language, eat the same food, think the same way, and you will be treated differently based on racial judgements."

Caste systems are nearly as much an anthropological universal (at least for civilizations) as the suspicion of outsiders that the OP mentions. Across the world you can find examples of two neighbours brought up in virtually identical conditions, but with restrictions on one due to ancestry.
Because it's hard to correctly understand. That's the point of the letter, it's called nightmare letter because it was specifically crafted to be as confusing and hard to understand as possible.

It removes numbers from a log file, sorts it, groups and counts unique lines, then sorts numerically by the count of each unique line.

But don't take my word for it. Try it yourself!
And you can remove individual ones! It was actually far better than the Android model at the time.

Many apps didn't get updated to work with the new API though (most hilariously, the NYT refused to let me create an account without my friend list in early 2015).

I would have to say whole heartedly "fuck no". Sorry for the language, but I needed a touch more emphasis.

Rabbit holing (which is how ADHD brains tend to act with a lot of available stimulation/information) is pretty much the exact opposite of coping and being productive.

Seems to me that requiring, rather than simply allowing, a team to be diverse actually restricts the talent pool.

That is, it reduces the number of viable teams one can form from a population. And if you have an existing team you need to grow, it can rule out some candidates.

You can only avoid the recursion limit in cases where dynamic programming would also work, as you have to explicitly call the function in reverse stack order to avoid having the stack build up. If you want fib(10000) you need to call fib(1) through fib(9999) first, as if you were implementing a dynamic programming solution.

nota that Jai has a similar concept, can't give you a link right now. It allows a function to have several instantiations. The generic (slow) function is mostly documentation, not intended to be used :)
That is not really a counter argument - I am not claiming QE has no effect on the economy.

I claimed that it isn't inflationary, and your example doesn't show any clear inflationary pressure.
I had almost this exact conversation a couple weeks ago with a friend of mine who is a highly recognized psychologist. We got talking about medicating for ADHD and anxiety (I have a friend who is struggling with her son in this department).

Basically, you are right, psychiatrists could make more money doing therapy, but therapy is more for psychologists and not psychiatrists. Most psychiatrists make money off of volume of patients. So it is in their best interest to prescribe more and consult less. The more patients that come through their office and they prescribe meds to the more money they make. He used the example of the psychiatry department at the public hospital next door to his office. On average, one doctor in that office can see upwards of 30 patients a day. With my friend, he can see at most 6 patients a day. For my friend though, as a psychologist doing one-on-one therapy he can charge more and see less patients.

In regards to medicating versus therapy, like many other things, people react differently to different things. Some individuals may do better with therapy over meds and vice-versa. The downside of meds is that typically becomes a lifetime treatment. Therapy on the other hand, when it works, is easier to reduce over time (although most people will continue, even at a significantly reduced interval).
I don’t think anyone claimed the value of a dollar was constant. Even on the gold standard there were periods of inflation and deflation. The average value over time was stable though.
But they were authorized to access the data, weren't they? The problem wasn't that they accessed it, it was that they used it for things they weren't allowed to.
Ask HN: Is a blog clever marketing or just a waste of time?
I am one guy with a web app which makes $14k per year. Is having a blog alongside my website clever marketing or just a waste of my time?
I used to do postmates on my bike in San Francisco. Just on the weekends as a way to get paid to work out, I never needed the money.

This was in 2015 but I was making $16-20 per hour. Doing it on my bike I had no expenses at all. I'd do maybe two deliveries per hour or three if I got easy ones (like the guy who had me deliver a Roam burger to a house 100ft away).

The reason I quit was because they removed more and more information from the view you'd get before accepting the job. On a bike that's not ok. There are many things I can't carry and many hills I'd prefer not to bike.

It honestly can be pretty stressful. The app rings really loud (can't disable) and then all of a sudden the clock is ticking. You could be asked to get anything from anywhere and bring it to anywhere and it has to be done in one hour or less.
Another good simple one is NekoVM (though not sure how they compare size wise) which is one of the target platforms that Haxe compiles to:

https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/neko

Being interested in wanting to write my own languages (though never finding the time with other pet projects) I always wanted to write something that would ultimately be usable with NekoVM as one of my side goals for a language. Neko also has a module for Apache.
So, being incapable of working in a modern corporation is a... good thing? I would have to disagree. Remember, we're not a hunter-gatherer society anymore; anyone optimized for that kind of society (not that I believe ADHD would have offered any real benefits in such a society either) would not work well in our current society.

I'm sure many with split personality disorder are capable of deluding themselves into thinking its a good thing too.
> Also, why "fortunately"?

Because I think it's a lot harder (both for you and for your users) than you thought at the time, and I hoped you wouldn't waste your time (and your users' time) on it. Personally, I think GC is the way to go to keep your (programmers') sanity. If you worry about GC pauses in time-critical sections, provide for a way to turn off the GC temporarily for such sections.

You might want to mark such non-GC sections/functions specifically and enforce statically that no dynamic allocation may be triggered from within them. Kind of like a monad. No allocations, no GCs, no headaches. Simpler and more flexible than the Rust model.

I didn't read that as such!
The article details steps to be taken, obviously in pursuit of a diversity goal state, but the goal is never stated.

What is the actual objective? To me, it should be a simple case of eradicating, or compensating for, bias. No more, no less.
The fact that the credit reporting agencies can (and do, when not prohibited by state law) charge a fee for each freeze and unfreeze event is what prevents me from doing this. While the fee isn't expensive compared to dealing with the ramifications of ID theft, it's the principle of paying the data guardians to guard my data better that I object to. Especially when I have no choice (assuming I want to live a modern life) but to have them manage my data.
And, as a side note, height correlates with cancer risk "Its results found that for every extra 10cm (4in) of height, when fully grown, the risk of developing cancer increased by 18% in women and 11% in men.": https://www.bbc.com/news/health-34414446

Mechanism unknown, but the mentioned growth factors might be the cause, similar to the increased insulin presence wrt. obesity.
I was talking with a guy a while back that did one of these delivery services but with bicycles (Ubereats maybe?) -- he would cheat and get his wife to drive him around so they could spend "quality" time together though.

IIRC we claimed he made $60-$100 hours a day (also IIRC he mostly only worked the weekends or maybe his wife only drove him around on the weekends) sticking to the busy areas, Downtown Phoenix and Oldtown Scottsdale.

Depends on what you make of it I suppose, he seemed happy to get out of the house.
I could see a constitutional amendment barring psycho-graphic profiling from election advertising and intent. Not sure how it could be enforced because this is very technical.

Even so, there is a significant difference between Coke trying to sell me a flavored soft drink and a firm tweaking my emotions to get me to abstain from voting with false information or to vote against my best interests with false information.

There are definitely people who are susceptible to psycho-graphic warfare and we need to protect them in order to protect our democracy.
> Your ice cube was never just an ice cube in the first place

That's my point. This idea that there are objects with mutable state is a myth. Even at the smallest scale, what we call elementary particles, are abstractions. There is nothing except the state of the universe at a given instant in time.
Yeah, people seem to be more sympathetic to plights they've experienced themselves.

Regardless of whether or not such a plight is the biggest problem the overall society needs to solve.
Yeah, why is this not happening or maybe it will happen and it is too new to say yet. Or maybe for the contract workers the convenience of working to their own schedule out-weighs other considerations.
> Remembering 3 pages of content per day (especially in math where concepts build on each other) is really not hard.

I disagree. Or rather, I think that's unsustainable. Any given three consecutive pages from Spivak's Calculus are probably doable on a daily basis. But is would be legitimately hard for most people to go through three pages of Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis each day and consistently retain that information. Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right is very readable, but Halmos' Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces will start getting just as dense as Rudin. These are difficult textbooks even when students are well-prepared for them with prerequisite courses. Terence Tao wrote two books to cover (with better exposition) what Rudin did in one. I think it would be pretty hard to read consistently three pages of Tao's Analysis I each day, before he even gets to limits.

I think you're underestimating the intellectual effort here. In my opinion, even if you're reading a math book targeted to your level, committing to reading and understanding three days of material each day would become exhausting. A typical semester is 15-16 weeks, with lectures 1 - 3 times a week, and most undergraduate courses do not actually work through the entirety of a 300 page textbook. Even at that slower pace it's not typical for most people to ace the course. If you read three pages a day and had a solid understanding of it, you'd be absolutely breezing through math courses.

In my experience students need to really step away from the material and let it percolate for a bit every so often in order to solidify their understanding. I really don't think you can partition the material into equal, bite-sized amounts each day. The learning progression doesn't tend to be that consistent or predictable.
I'm saying no such thing, and it's neither courteous nor constructive to twist words like that.

You keep asserting that it's not necessarily to have a lawyer review a letter, despite the letter being legal in nature and in this case clearly coming from someone who is looking to cause trouble. Clearly you and I have very different attitudes to risk in this respect.

In any case, an obligation to comply with the law is self-evident. My objection is that the law itself is poorly implemented and that what is necessary to comply is ambiguous.
Seconded. It does reveal the right playhead once Face ID unlocks the screen. Perhaps playhead position is sensitive info?
I absolutely do enjoy repair cafes, they "pop-up" in my town sometimes using a borrowed facility and folks just show up with tools and/or stuff they want fixed.

It is amazing, sometimes, how simple the repairs are. More often, however, repairs certainly are possible but parts, tools or information just isn't available during the very short time-span of the repair clinc. People end up getting turned away with a diagnosis of what's wrong but there's no practical way to repair it on the spot. I see these more as an affective exercise that shows people that, yes, it is possible to take stuff apart, figure out what's wrong and probably fix it.

For these things to be practical, they would have to be more permanent or regular and take-on additional services such as a tool-library (like a regular library except you check out power-tools instead of books).

But actually, if you look for it, there certainly is some serious repair-culture going on in SOME neighborhoods in the USA and in many other places in the world. Once you get away from big box stores, many independent hardware, appliance and electronics stores have people that regularly fix things. In the USA it might be frowned upon as ghetto or scammy (and sometimes they are), but many of you would be surprised what folks are able to do with basic equipment, a little knowledge, and some willpower.
The solution is in the ecosystem.

This is the most vexing part of the sport of weightlifting. The strength comes quickly, but the mobility to squat deep with an upright torso comes very very slowly. That's why there are about a million articles and forum posts with titles just like this one.

2. Johnson & Johnson doesn't work for Putin.

3. United States elections aren't crazy. Entire parties of Congress being blackmailed into submission by foreign influence is crazy.

4. It's not overly selective.

5. I hope it has an extreme political bias.

6. Facebook commercially exists because the United States has shit privacy laws.

7. How much did Putin pay you to gas light articles?

8. A million dollars is still a million dollars.

9. Let's not forget about that one time you tried to comment on HN to down play this article. When in fact I couldnt be happier to see this.
I'm not getting your broader point here. His point is that ADHD is not purely negative, that it has benefits. You seem to be saying, "But it also has costs!" Sure, but nobody said otherwise.

It's true we aren't a hunter-gatherer society. But neither are we a farming society anymore. Circa 1% of the population works in agriculture. Yes, you can look at the Industrial Revolution as applying farming culture to machines; instead of tilling rows, we do piecework. And 1950s-era white-collar organization is basically applying the industrial model to paperwork.

But automation is ending that era. With the rise of the computer, we are getting machines to do all the boring stuff. We are passing out of the farming/industrial era. It's my belief that we're entering an era where the ability to do repetitive, boring work is becoming obsolete. If we technologists do our job well, the only work left is exploratory, creative, social.

So yes, having ADHD in a farmer's world isn't easy. But as the author says, the world's changing away from that.
Most people I know with moderate to severe ADHD require meds to even concentrate enough to enact any behaviour modification. That said, medication alone will not resolve all issues that crop up as part of having ADHD - many will need both.
