We went through the ASD diagnostic process with our son, and it left us very sceptical about the whole thing. I was never convinced he had ASD (and I'm still not), but some psychologist talked us into it.

I really got the impression the psychologist was cherrypicking information (especially in the parent interview) just to check things off the diagnostic criteria. Everything he did that vaguely sounded like an ASD symptom was attributed to ASD, with no real thought as to whether it actually is or not. I compared her report to the DSM-5 criteria, I didn't get the impression she was actually applying the criteria properly, just doing her own thing and then invoking its name at the end as if it was some magic spell.

Her diagnostic report claimed our son (who was about to start school) needed all this special education help (timers in school, sensory diet, etc), and she really wanted us to give it to his school. The report sounded like a bad caricature of our son. We decided not to give it to the school and not tell them anything about it. And his teacher tells us he is going very well.

She also put him down in the report as being ASD Level 2, but she told us verbally she only thought he was Level 1, but she always puts people down as Level 2 or above because that's the cut-off for Australian government disability funding ("NDIS List A").

He's mostly normal kid, rather like myself at the same age. He's very intelligent, social stuff isn't his strong suit (but so what, it's never been mine either.) He's very shy, but my wife says she was even worse at his age. We did go through a period last year when his behaviour was becoming rather unmanageable (aggression, defiance, hyperactivity), but he's much much better now (so much so that we took him off his ADHD meds) and I think a lot of those behaviour problems were due to family stresses (new baby), parental mental illness (I have anxiety/depression, and I suspect my wife does too, although she resists diagnosis), sub-optimal parenting skills, rather than ASD and/or ADHD and/or whatever.

When people say that ASD is being overdiagnosed, and I look at what this psychologist did, I think it really is.

macOS has subtle window snapping already, I think introduced in 10.13 but I'm not certain. Moving and resizing windows tries to snap to edges of other windows, but it's a relatively minor effect (which is good because aggressive snapping is really annoying), and only triggers when you're moving slow enough.

But physical pipes run in parallel too! If you have a pipe full of water, and you push some more water in one end, there is an instant effect at the other end. If it's empty, then sequentiality is introduced because it takes time for the water to flow through the pipe. That's how a Unix pipe works – (the processes at) both ends of the pipe come into existence at the same time, but if the right side is waiting for input (the pipe buffer is empty), it won't do anything until the left side has produced output.
"The same company where 31 children died" is incredibly misleading. 31 children died while taking a drug they made, over 15 years, not all of which are necessarily the drug's fault (side effect reporting is very broad). Tylenol kills around 500 people a year, but we don't blame this on the Tylenol manufacturers.

Not sure what's your point here. The whole reason this discussion seems to be happening is because a segment of people think that is not true.

If that is true in your case, why would you even argue? It does not even apply to you.

Do keep in mind that many of these companies expect users to pirate their software.

Often leaving the company with no choice but Photoshop!
While the article has some interesting points, it is quite poorly written. Additionally, it creates a problem that does not exist for the purpose of pushing its corporate propaganda. Web 3.0 -- the semantic web -- is a legit thing. Web Design 3.0 then, by default, would almost certainly be mobile first, and thus this manufactured "need" of free positioning becomes basically irrelevant.

Who knows what could be hiding in there?!?!
No, of course it's completely logical generalise the whole field of psychology and the diagnosis and treatment of complex mental disorders from the singular experience you had - especially when they've told you they're trying to get you the most help they can from various government bureaucracies. It's also perfectly logical to just take a face value your child's teacher's opinion that "they're fine" when they've got 20+ other children to worry about and monitor. Don't worry, you're the parent and you always know best - and you're sure to tell other people too. /s

I was diagnosed with ADHD three times as a child, my parents never believed it and chose to never tell me or get me the help or medication or accommodation I needed because "I was fine". By god, I'm getting treated now and holy hell life would've been a billion times more enjoyable and productive if they'd just listened, or even told me later so that I could decide. I know you're just trying to do the best you can, but jeez this is sad - if you doubt the diagnosis, fine - get a second opinion, and a third, but think that if they're all the same, you went there for a reason and they're probably right.
What's important is to remain open to the possibility, because if you're wrong, your child is in for a world of hurt. I did very well in school, was a model student, and continued to do so until I was so exhausted by high school that I just stopped trying. I had no idea I was autistic, so I couldn't explain what was going on when I started missing classes to be alone, and going from a straight a student to doing only what was necessary to reach a c+.

Building an FaunaDB query is more difficult than just writing session-based DB code.

But if you are willing to build FaunaDB queries, it should be strictly easier to write session-based DB code as "airtight" chunks that are easy to retry.

> it’s quite a different thing to argue that Walmart should raise their wages without explaining where that money will come from

In FY2018, Walmart "generated $28.3 billion in operating cash flow and returned $14.4 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases" [1]. The best study I can find [2] says a hike from $10/hr. to $15/hr. would cost around $5 billion a year.

TL;DR: Walmart could pay workers $30/hr. The money comes from there.

Thanks, this is helpful and why I came to the comments. Another question I had was what happens to red? You helped me answer that -- unlike echo green, the output of echo red is still connected to the pipe. The right-hand side of that pipe does nothing with it, so it disappears.

Also regarding one of your examples: maybe I'm misunderstanding, and anyway this wouldn't change your overall point, but should it maybe read like this instead:
bash -c '(echo green 1>&2) | echo blue' 1>stdout 2>stderr

since stdin is normally associated with file descriptor 0

Ketamine isomer (S+) induces less drowsiness, less lethargy and less impairment in clustered subjective cognitive capacity than equianalgesic small-dose racemic ketamine. In addition, S(+) ketamine causes less decline in concentration capacity and primary memory [Pfenninger et al. 2002]. The S(+) isomer of ketamine has about twice the analgesic potency of the clinically used racemic mixture. Therefore, the known side effects may be reduced when one half of the usual dose is administered.

Lets not be reactionary here.

Legislation can halt a slow decline, and companies move as slowly as they need to.

Something taking 5-10-20 years to decline can often be traced back to a piece of regulation (or deregulation) that occurred a long time ago.

Legislation being repealed doesn't mean the next day everything goes to the dogs, it's often supposed to plug up a trickle, not hold back a flood.

That may or may not apply to net neutrality depending on your view. But just because things haven't gone completely gone to the dogs yet does not mean it wont in the future and that this legislation is or isn't necessary.

The ideological problem is assuming that all these factors don't matter—that taxes and zoning are the only factors that matter.

Some very fundamental examples of what's missing: Selective policing affects incarceration rates, neighborhood ethnic makeup affects city budgets which in turn affect land values and safety (Flint water crisis and other pollution) which in turn affect economic prospects and future tax income, what goes on in city A in terms of taxation and opportunities affects neighboring city B, it's assumed that traditional zoning policies generate the most land value which is incorrect in many cases, it ignores how public spending on infrastructure affects economic opportunities in the short an long term..

The brine waste from desal is full of nasty stuff you don't want concentrated even further and sold as food. Removing the long list of chemicals and heavy metals is not going to be viable costwise and even the most foolhardy consumer would think twice over regular salt.

Its not just a space optimization but a locality optimization. Segregated neighborhoods from 50 years ago are still likely to be largely minority and gated communities adjacent still largely white. A tremendous amount of the demand that goes into urban sprawl is the desire to live distant from those deposed by the society the homeowners often perpetuate and instigate.

The quarter acre of manicured grass, the per-working adult car, the maximum occupancy limits, the minimum square footage requirements, zoning in general all work to keep the "riff raff" out economically.

Nothing about sprawl housing is efficient. Its almost maximally inefficient - you get the worst of everything, the traffic and congestion problems of density without any of the actual density because the people centralize on an urban core and surround it in extraordinarily wide expanses of cloned stick houses. But that inefficiency is baked in by design to push out those who cannot afford to participate in such inefficiency. You don't need gates on your community if the area is unlivable for the working poor for miles around.
