> First, I think van der Kolk downplays the importance of the APA’s philosophical commitment to categorizing by symptoms rather than cause. Consider four patients, Alice, Bob, Carol, and Dan. Alice has poor concentration caused by child abuse. Bob has poor concentration caused by bad genes. Carol throws tantrums because child abuse. Dan throws tantrums because bad genes. The current DSM would categorize Alice and Bob as ADHD, and Carol and Dan as intermittent explosive disorder. Van der Kolk would like to classify Alice and Carol as having Developmental Trauma Disorder, and Bob and Dan as…I don’t know. Bad Gene Disorder? Seems sketchy. When the APA decides not to do that, they’re not necessarily rejecting the seriousness of child abuse, only saying it’s not the kind of thing they build their categories around.

This seems like a problem with the APA. Why would they categorize around symptoms? The same symptoms can have different root causes and would then require different treatments. So doesn't it make sense to categorize around root causes?

The rest of medicine seems to be more concerned with causes. A sore throat might be a cold, or it might be cancer. Obviously they require different treatments, so they don't lump them all into "sore throat" and do the same thing every time there's a sore throat.

Likewise if someone exhibits the symptom of ADHD and the cause is "Bad Genes" but you're trying to treat them for non-existent trauma, it doesn't seem like it's going to be effective.
To be fair there is no objective value in travelling either. It's a matter of the specific personality profile that makes a person attracted to one or both or neither of those two modes of consumption.
>Expecting to have the same rights as if using your own devices when using someone else’s device that they are paying you to perform work on qualifies as an indignity to me.

Ah, but it's not someone else's device now is it? It's a corporation's device and corporation's have lobbied for laws that specifically prevent individuals for being liable for the colorations actions. If they aren't liable for the actions of said corporation, why should this be treated as two people's opposing rights of property vs privacy rather than a non human entity's property rights vs a humans privacy rights?
Wireguard also suffers from having static routing. It could be argued that it is somewhat worse with Wireguard because there is no means for a client to announce networks for routing. I would argue that dynamic routing is a complicated task which goes far beyond just announcing networks and should be handled outside the vpn client. Wirguard's use of allowed ips and NBMA network model complicates doing so.

It could also be argued that Wireguard's support for roaming clients is not much better. Roaming clients really only work properly in a model with a centralized wireguard server with a fixed ip address where the roaming clients connect to the server when they roam so the current ip address for the roaming client is updated.

Given Google's reputation for avoiding any type of direct customer support, I'm perplexed as to why they are trying to do this.

It's one thing to offer an online product suite without any support, it's a completely other thing to offer a product that is as heavily regulated as banking services.

They're probably not going to earn any significant amount from providing a checking account. I can only assume that they're after the transaction data itself (looking for patterns, etc.), but I find it hard to believe that the payoff would be large enough to endure the pain that is the current regulatory environment surrounding banking. Especially when you're notorious for avoiding personal interactions.

I worked on print production software. We called that style of imposition "bookwork". I once wrote a small app that'd generate those book signatures. Answer a few questions (page size, sheet size, style of binding, etc) to generate the whole production plan.

Sadly, my work (IP) was lost during a series of acquisitions. Then the whole industry segment imploded (ebooks, composite on demand printing, etc).

Anyone wanting to do print production (eg litho) bookwork today would probably start with EFI's Metrix, which I've never seen or used. But I know the creator (Rohan Holt) and prepress is his thing.

This is wrong, because they are raised to support a country and most of that (hence the "usual" qualifier) is to support things people might not know they need. Your response to this is apparently that people do pay for things they don't know they need (or don't understand are necessary), but you fail to tell the reader why. Instead you reiterate that you are convinced they'll definitely pay for them.

The diamond is a costly signal, nothing more. But this signal transmits a lot of information to the receiver (your wife).
Historically, I don’t think that’s the case. It was developed (after its computer game concept) to support online documentation production. Most of its installations were timesharing systems (e.g. Vax) until the workstation era when it developed the workstation/server split. Considering the proliferation of graphical interfaces on Unix in the 80s, it’s definitely a desktop OS.

The growing epidemic of loneliness is probably
in part due to the rise of teleworking. No

Well, it can go either way. Depends on your situation. For me, teleworking has been a help to my social life.

Now that I'm a teleworker, I've got about 10 extra hours of time each week that I don't have to spend commuting. So that actually has benefits for my social life, since I never really hung out with my coworkers anyway!

Of course, I'm a best-case scenario. I have a wife. I have pets. I've lived in this area my whole life and have friends here. I don't need workplace friends. If you don't have those things then you might depend on your workplace for your social connections a little bit more.

To be honest I think workplace friends can really suck anyway. I have made great friends at various jobs, but these days I sort of like to keep "work" and "friends" separate. Having workplace friends can be healthy, but depending on your workplace for friends seems extremely unhealthy. I mean, what happens when you're no longer with the company? It's like you've left a cult and now all your connections have been severed.

That is essentially what is happening anyhow. Your runtime (e.g. GO) usually has multiple worker threads executing fibres / coroutines (one OS thread for each CPU core, usually). These worker threads have a userspace scheduler which performs userspace (cooperative) context switches. In addition, every so often the OS would also interrupt the worker threads and does an OS-level context switch (so that other processes can run).

The problem is 2-fold; (1) is that in cooperative (userspace) multithreading, context switches can only happen at a safepoint, where the runtime knows what's going on, and what the current state is; that's necessary for any kind of userspace service provided by the runtime, such as GC, synchronisation, JIT, etc. I think JVM people (or maybe Go? edit: found the Go issue [0]) are trying to generalize this so that every point of the program is a safepoint; not sure how it's going. (2) is that userspace has very limited capacity to even observe OS-level context switches, let alone modify them... E.g. ideally you'd be able to take a look where (at which instruction) the context switch happened, what the current state is (e.g. values of registers), and maybe modify it (e.g. switch to another coroutine). AFAIK there's no portable way to do this, and some OSs/platforms don't support any way to do this. Basically pretty much the only thing that can happen after a thread is interrupted by the OS, is that the thread resumes exactly when it was.

I’d instead say that it is legitimate as long as it continues to align with and perpetuate the interests and values of its people. To that end, if our government has strayed from that in significant ways, it delegitimizes itself and we, the people have an obligation to ourselves and others to rein it in.

America, the people, is still a source of pride for me but one can hold that view and still see significant flaws with how our government acts on our behalf - or despite it.

> Like so many things, PTSD feels self-evident once you know about it.

Only from the myopic perspective of people only used to a life of luxury and ease.

Throughout most of history several of the people most close to you would have made an early and often quite unpleasant exit before you reached adulthood -- most of your siblings and children would probably not make it into adulthood and women had a double digit chance of dying from child birth[1]. And that held true even if you were an affluent member of a relatively stable and successful society.

[1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1139114/pdf/med...

So a priori it seems extremely unlikely to me that severely unpleasant experiences have psychologically crippling effects on a majority of people. Because that would seem to be extremely maladaptive for almost all of the last few millenia.

Perhaps in an non-standard understanding of what is and isn't sexual. An asexual office is sexual in the same sense that secularism is a religious stance. It's not catering to any specific religion: it is equally exclusive of all religions. Similarly, an asexual office doesn't prevent or directly influence the sexual activity of workers - it just relegates that sexual activity to spaces outside the office.
> Saying "oh we should keep the office asexual by not having a relationship" is a sexual act. Saying "oh we shouldn't complain about the kind of customers our emplyoer has" is a sexual act.

That isn't keeping sex out of the workplace - it's the exact opposite. That's explicitly bringing sex into the workplace by trying to tell coworkers what preferences they should have. Curbing this behavior is exactly what keeping sex out of the workplace is about.

> Acting in opposition to sexual acts is in itself a sexual act. The asexual thing to do would be to _not intervene in others' sexual engagements_. If mgmt let its employees organize relationships with the same willingness as a movie night, then they would be acting asexually.

For the third time, Keeping sex out of the workplace does not oppose any preference. It's about making clear that the office is not a space for sexual activity. Yes, the asexual thing is to not intervene in others' sexual relationships.

The reality is, bringing sex into the workplace is a very significant intervention in people's sexual lives. In the sexually active offices I've worked in, plenty of employees feigned support for things they didn't support because they felt it was expected of them. Co workers whose preferences were part of the company majority dominated the conversation, because co-workers with minority preferences didn't want to risk repercussions for voicing unpopular preferences.

So if you want a company that does not intervene in others' sexual lives, keeping sex out of the workplace is the most effective approach.

Have you ever wondered about the time you spent being productive? Two years ago, I learnt of Elon Musk’s 80-hour work weeks. I reflected on my own productivity and realized the huge amount of time I spent on social media, news articles and YouTube. I began searching for tools to monitor my computer usage.

During my search, I came across many automatic time tracking tools that were either too complicated or lacked the features I desired. Employee surveillance and time billing tools were an overkill for my needs and many solutions were cloud based, which presented privacy concerns.

I decided to build my own automatic time tracking solution. For language familiarity, I used .NET for the data collection layer with SQLite for the database. The UI layer was built using Angular5 served via an Electron app. SignalR was used for real-time data updates and d3.js was used for charting.

After two years of development, the app is now ready. To ensure privacy, data collection and processing happen locally. The UI was designed to be simple and intuitive. Charts are animated and updated in real-time for extra polish.

While I have not reached Muskian levels of productivity yet, I’ve gained valuable insights and awareness as to how I spend my time.

Hope you guys like it! Any feedback is welcome.

> Google also has a clause in their employment agreement that says you agree to them putting surveillance software on your devices, company supplied and personal, as a condition of your employment.

That doesn't mean it's enforceable or that it wouldn't run into statutory limits. Many workplace relations laws are written on a strict liability basis, intent isn't necessary for infringement. So if it has a chilling effect on organising, it's potentially infringing.
