> I'm 36, got diagnosed with ADHD when I was 25 or so.

I was diagnosed at 7, and am currently 30.

> I'm less inclined to think it's the drugs and more leaning towards it being the person learning to manage their symptoms more effectively as they get older.

Why do you say that if you were only ever on those drugs for a couple of weeks? Moreover, while your ADHD wasn't severe enough that your life wasn't negatively impacted in a significant way by not medicating it, why do you think that experience is likely to align with others' experiences? What if others stay on those drugs because the quality of life impact is greater than the downsides of those drugs?

I don't enjoy taking drugs for ADHD. I take them because my ability to be a functioning and productive member of society is greatly impacted if I don't. Perhaps I could learn to live without them, but that's not something that would happen in a day, or a week, or even a month or more, and during that time my ability to perform at my job and take care of my own well-being would go out the window.

> No idea if uppers help that process or not.

My understanding of the neurological underpinnings of ADHD (or at least some varieties of it) is that it is caused by poor operation of the "executive function" system of the brain. This is the system that allocates cognitive resources to tasks and the difficulty encountered by those with ADHD getting and staying on task is due to the system failing to allocate the necessary resources. So stimulants work because they ramp up that system. Note that the "hyper-focus" that many with ADHD experience is also a result of poor performing executive function in that it is an over-allocation of cognitive resources.

Do note that what I've written is a medical knowledge informed, but ultimately still layperson, understanding of the brain.

> You sort of just learn to live with how your brain works and processes things.

I agree in the sense that you can learn to accept any chronic condition, including its detrimental effects. However I see that as giving up, at least as far as my own quality of life is concerned.
Yeah these people's point about the "reception" of this article would be better if it wasn't clear that most of the critical comments lack the technical knowledge to actually critique his argument.
Attacker owns my service, spawns a shell. OSQuery will tell me that a new process is running. Fargate will not tell me anything, to my knowledge.

OSQuery as a sidecar might work, if you stuff it in the container, but I doubt it can access the audit subsystem and I'm unsure if it's really been tested in that sort of environment.

I'm not concerned about container escapes or the underlying host being owned.

Very cool, I'm impressed. This guy knows how to do all the stuff I don't know how to do and it actually works well.
Okay, fair point. I can only assume they would only do this for persistent and malicious violation of the rules; it's a pretty good incentive not to do anything nasty with them if they can lock you globally out of your zone for a year. In fairness, so could any other provider if they so chose. As a registrar, I can guess the amount of abuse they have to deal with (spam domains, illegal content etc.) is high enough that they're pretty tired of dealing with it, so they take the Roosevelt approach:

Speak softly, and carry a big stick.

Again, I don't agree with this approach personally if it affected me, but I do understand it from a business POV. Letting the customer know in advance that they do have this power will weed out the ones who are most likely to fall into it.
He will almost certainly not.
Maybe I'm just using a less narrow definition of quantum mechanics? I'm not referring to the specific quantum phenomena referenced in the article, but to quantum mechanics in general. In other words, since these redox steps are happening on a molecular scale, that of course quantum mechanics falls under its purview - as would anything else happening on this small of a scale.

For instance, not factoring in steric factors (e.g. uncertainty principle) or electron tunneling in the transfer of electrons during photosynthesis or cellular respiration would probably throw off your models. Biochemists are well aware of this; you couldn't effectively understand chemistry without understanding quantum mechanics.
Reasonable depends on how much you view copyright laws to be a burden versus being something that encourages creation. There's no end to the list of reasons why copyright laws are shitty and really serve no purpose to anyone other than the extremely wealthy. I find it very reasonable to say that 80% of that shitty purpose is accomplished in the first 20 years.

I personally have no moral issue with pirating because I believe anything put out for public consumption is just that - in the hands of the public. I think copyright law is about as dumb as me saying something in public and then charging people to quote me. Even with zero copyright law we'd still see a tremendous about of money and investment into media. Even with piracy we rarely see movies of a watchable definition on torrent sites while still in theathers, people (including me) would still pay for music streaming, ad-free Youtube, and so on. There's still plenty of money to be made without ridiculous lawsuits and bullying and harassment and exploitation.
If that's the line you're drawing, then I can understand where you're coming from more, but anything opt-in still doesn't seem to qualify as eugenics.

There was dating services in meatspace long before OKC, Tinder and now FB. Much of the same data given to them was similar to what Facebook has. Do those services class as eugenics?

I never said the U.S opposes Iran only on the base of it's treatment of gays: but it definitely doesn't help. The gay thing is just an example, Iran is a full blown theocracy governed by a totalitarian regime; everything is censored. It's leaders spread hate to the U.S: "Death to America!" (when did Obama or Bush or even Trump ever use such speech?), and it's a destabilising element in the region. Russia and North Korea got sanctions for their behavior, I don' see why Iran shouldn't. Their population is far from starving. I tend to agree the sanctions have yet to prove themselves, but it's a much better tool than full blown war which nobody wants.

No, full photo access is required for an app to pick photos using the standard picker (as of iOS 12 anyway). I also wish they would separate these. I think it’s a legacy thing, since the photo picker pre-dates the remote-view-controller stuff used to isolate apps from system views (first seen when they introduced the in-app “safari view controller” thing)
I disagree.

Well, I wouldn't recommend IntelliJ with plugins. I would only recommend Webstorm.

Everything works well. The intellisense and linting integration is amazing. CSS selectors are autocompleted from indexed HTML. If you don't have any red squigglies in your TS or HTML files then most likely your Angular app will just work. Plus, point-and-click to navigate through classes/methods like Intellij. No more "let me search for this method by name to find the declaration."

Good unit test integration w/ jasmine to top it off.

Just too many benifets to ignore. If I had a company I'd require development in an IDE.

No, of course not. That's my point. OP is throwing out a "let them eat cake" argument about how he's fine with this state of affairs. I'm pointing out that the libraries are buying these e-books in order to lend them out.

Personally I feel that the publishers are misunderstanding their market. Library people are library people. It's a small, heavy-use userbase. People who buy books the second they come out aren't going to suddenly become library people because a few dozen more e-books become available early on. There's still limits on how the libraries are allowed to lend them (i.e. they can't buy one book and lend it out 100 times, but they could buy 100 books and lend those out 100 times).

This feels like publishers are misunderstanding their users, but at the same time I'm just one user, wtf do I know.

No, they specifically state this in a context which does not leave room for such an interpretation.

Sure, like violence is a good incentive too. Both of these are likely to be illegal.

So fucking what, the whole point is that nobody else would do this.

I posted a negative review on a FBA product (~$100) that arrived super late and damaged. I got called to offer me $20 to take the review down. Didn’t respond, they somehow got my review taken down anyway. That was the first time I realized how bad Amazon was getting. Kind of surprised this is something Amazon does too though; I figured only crappy dropshippers would engage in that
I've definitely seen managers get promoted into senior management and executive jobs, but not always linearly (they become their old boss).

I do agree that the skills of a senior manager are materially different than just "be a better manager". Failing at any of the things listed in the article can prevent your progress, but doing them all well doesn't guarantee you advancement either.

Btw: The quoted changes for MacBooks are slightly inaccurate. MacBook Pro's from 2015 already had working keyboards and touchpads as they have them connected via USB as well. The models which got support now are:

- MacBook 2015

- MacBook 2016

- MacBook 2017

- MacBook Pro 2016

- MacBook Pro 2017

Mind that MacBook Air's and MacBook Pro's from 2018 onward still don't have upstream keyboard and touchpad support.
Have you actually used Rust? I spend very little time (or code) on resource management when writing Rust code. And when I do, it's usually the compiler helping me understand an aspect of my design that doesn't work as I expected. Sure, other languages might allow me to gloss over that, but that will likely come down to finding the edge case in production.

> User-space network driver? The benchmarks group Go closer to Rust with Java / C# way behind

That's a very generous reading of those benchmarks. What you said is true in the latency benchmarks, but in the throughput benchmarks, C# _beats_ Go at high packet rates and is much closer to Go than Go is to Rust at low to medium packet rates.
Not necessarily. I've moved C++ code to C#, and it got much faster. The reason is because of copy (and other flavors of) c'tors that needlessly copied data because it was either happening unbeknownst to the author, or it was easier than dealing with the consequences of proper aliasing semantics. I have a feeling that this is not uncommon. So IOW, bad manual memory management is going to perform worse than modern GC systems. Pretty much the same as an automatic transmission on a high-end sports sedan -- unless you really know what you're doing, the AT is going to do a better job of shifting than you are.

11,500 years is such a short time span. It is crazy how close to the dawn of man you find yourself living in.
I think it depends on what you did. If you did something crazy like run a DDoS C&C layer off your subdomains then it would make perfect sense for them to respond like this.

As others said every service reserves the right to do things like this, they just typically phrase differently. To quote GoDaddy:

> You acknowledge and agree that GoDaddy and registry reserve the right to deny, cancel or transfer any registration or transaction, or place any domain name(s) on lock, hold or similar status, as either deems necessary, in the unlimited and sole discretion of either GoDaddy or the registry: .. snip .. (ii) to protect the integrity and stability of, and correct mistakes made by, any domain name registry or registrar,

Emphasis mine and a bit snipped out since this is already long. This says if it affects their stability they can transfer your registration as they see fit. It doesn't include any protections on when you can change the domain or what they can change it to meaning blackholing you into localhost for a year is fine.
It is, for sure.

As long as the tool gets the job done, I don't see the issue.

That's not to say some tools aren't better suited to a task than others, or that there isn't room for improvement, but, unless things are manifestly mismatched I don't see why it wouldn't be a satisfactory answer, especially for a "hey i wrote this cool thing" project.

Reading this made me curious about postal inspectors, and I found this on Wikipedia:

>The Postal Inspection Service has the oldest origins of any federal law enforcement agency in the United States. It traces its roots back to 1772[3] when colonial Postmaster General Benjamin Franklin first appointed a "surveyor" to regulate and audit the mails. Thus, the Service's origins—in part—predate the Declaration of Independence, and therefore the United States itself.

> OK, but 20 million??? Brazil is a huge industrialized nation!

20 million is one offer, yes only a modest one, by only a single nation in the EU to help with the immediate crisis of controlling the raging fires. I only pointed it out because you and others wrote that it was unrealistic for any nation to even think about making payments. Obviously, all the developed nations complaining about what's happening in Brazil should pay up and it would amount to a lot more than just 20 million. It should be a number that is much higher than ranchers' and industrial farmers' missed economic opportunity.

Again, my comments are mainly critical of nations who are condemning Brazil about what's happening to the Rain Forest, while ignoring the fact that many everyday people in a developing nation need money to meet basic needs.

Also I am not saying that nations should buy the Amazon, but just make aid payments that are greater than the missed economic opportunity of destroying it for farmland. i.e. it's going to be less than the amount you calculated

Yeah. People are scared.

There are alternatives to another French Revolution, which no one wants. (Well, no one other than the tyrants waiting in the wings who want to be the global elite.)

Why are people too scared to challenge the global élites? Because they don't acknowledge those alternatives. In my experience, it boils down to being fearful of being ruled by the people who want to be the global élites. Which would be even worse. And, hey, if I'm being honest, they're probably right about that. Thing is, that fear is blinding them to the other completely reasonable alternatives that people are putting forth.

We just need to make more noise about these other, really very low risk options. Options like taxes. Options like strengthening unions. Even out of the box options like thinking about coop type business structures. Etc.

There's more than one way to skin a cat, but we're in the happy position of not even having to skin the cat to get what we want. We just have to get people past that fear of, "Woah! look at those looneys who want to replace the élites! Better the Devil we know!".
