I find the problem with this feature of ADHD is that it often happens in social situations which is problematic. I can gradually ease myself over the hump of "what comes first?" in private and with some time, but if someone asks me something and the subject is completely irrelevant to where my attention is, I'll draw a blank for so long that it can appear rude. I'm not being rude though; the context switch is almost like hitting restart on my brain.

An example might be if my ex would ask me where we should eat dinner. Maybe I'm actually hungry at the moment, but I really don't know how to go about solving the problem of where to eat. My brain won't go there. I have an internal urgency to solve this because I know my ex will be annoyed if I don't have ideas, but my brain is completely blank. I fumble around with the same 2 or 3 bad ideas after 30 seconds or so, both struggling to rationalize them as choices and thinking of more places.

Soon my ex decides I don't have ideas because I'm either not hungry (which means I'm selfish because I should at least care to help her with ideas!), or I don't want to go out with her (if I wanted to I'd think of something - anything!).

I find similar mechanics in a lot of relationships, and it's never that I'm actually being selfish or even uninterested. My brain just goes blank.
Wikipedia is the most incredible creation in modern times. Because it's not about some law of the universe that people have learned enough about to use to their advantage like electricity or nuclear physics. It's something inherent to us as a species that we came together to create a resource for everyone to access and that it has such a high level of quality. The culture around Wikipedia - the culmination of knowledge, the importance of said knowledge, the random curiosity of such a wide variety of topics and so much more, says so much about us as people.

If you had asked me half a century ago if something like this would ever work - I would've said absolutely not. And yet, there it is.
I agree in the general case but NH has a special situation since most of the people falling down ravines trying to take the perfect selfie are from outside their taxing jurisdiction (so it's not like they're footing the bill at the end of the day) and much of their government operations are funded by fees at/near the point of service (as opposed to from taxes) so having a "rescue fee" kind of makes sense for them.
Do the statistics on pedestrian fatalities include whether or not the pedestrian was distracted, such as talking on/looking at their phone? Or what about jaywalking/ignoring signals.

Cars arent solely to blame. Pedestrians need to held responsible for their reckless behavior in the presence of cars, too.
"Rclone simply copies data. If you `sync` `~/Documents` to your remote it will keep an exact copy."

...

"This is a simple backup since you only have one version. Anything deleted, the next time it syncs, gets deleted."

This is correct. It is widely advised to not consider a "sync" like this a proper backup.

However, for what it's worth, rsync.net does support rclone[1] and because of the ZFS snapshots that are created and maintained[2] in your account, you can just do a dumb sync because the retention is handled by the snapshots.

I am not sure if rclone is really the right tool for plain old cloud backups - I think rclone distinguishes itself for the ability to transfer data between cloud providers.[3]

[2] ZFS snapshots reside in the .zfs/snapshot directory inside your rsync.net account.

> for the latter, well, it's a pile of poo but if you're able to stick with it your doctor will likely take you on a tour of different methyl*s until you find one that works

Best thing one can do is take chelated magnesium. Choline and fish oil help as well, but definitely take chelated magnesium every morning.

It helps prevent a tolerance build up (in turn helps prevent one from getting an increase in dosage) and helps replenishes the magnesium depleted from ADHD medication. Magnesium deficiencies are also common in those with ADHD who do not take medication. So if you're taking medication, the deficiency is caused by two sources.

Sadly, I think people really do get caught up in the pace and don’t think about anything else. No excuse though.

Always fun to get downvoted for voicing a statement of fact: an RFP is required, if I remember correctly, for any purchase in excess of $25,000. It's not a high bar, and would easily be surpassed by having to pay a contractor to implement and integrate even the simplest of tools if it's to be used across the entire DoD Enterprise.
mmmm, I have a shirt that's similar in color to Pantone 448 C. It's not exact since colors can be very technical but close enough. Especially after it faded from its original color. I wonder what it says about me since I like it.

The bulb thing is about colour changes over time - which, admittedly, you may not notice, or may not notice enough for it to bother you at all. (As an old-timey film photographer, I dealt with bulbs both as light sources for shooting and as enlarger light sources. A 100° colour temperature shift isn't all that visible to the unaided eye, but it does make a huge difference where colour criticality matters. My bulbs tended to be good for 10 to 50 hours before they really needed to be swapped, even though they were still clearly bright enough.)
Forgive me if I missed this in discussion, but I thought the bricking event, was if you attempted to surrender the old licence rights, to enable a discount code.

If the bricking happened irrespective, I think it maybe broke expectations across the consumer/supplier boundary. If you are 'turning in' a device to get a discount on a new device, I don't personally have a problem with them bricking it, because you are doing the virtual equivalent of giving it back to them, to get the new one.

e.g. Google say five devices. you want to add a sixth? you have to de-licence one. If you do, its local copy of Google IPR protected content could wipe. Switch google accounts? it can wipe. This is not "nice" but its not uncommon.

Did I mis-understand? (not a sonos customer btw, outside observer, un-involved)
In the ResQLink manual it literally has you test it several times per year to verify correct operation. FWIW I've had mine 7 years and it's been through several battery replacements at the factory and been through several rough longer expeditions. No problems at all with the GPS test cycle.
> I have allocate recreation time to work

Ugh, this. So many lost days, weeks, months to ADHD. Just trying to keep up. Can't focus for a day? There goes the weekend. Shame, fear of losing my job, fear of work piling up - all of it. I have to make up for it at some point.
You’re talking about durability which is different. I’m talking about performance.

Durability should not be a problem with these products. Frankly they feel super solid but more importantly they rarely even get touched (the interface is an app). They have a couple of touch sensitive buttons (volume and skip/prev only) but that’s it.
Not officially diagnosed, but I suffer a lot from ADHD-like behavior. Something I realized recently was that I'm actually getting really distracted by any kind of ambient noises from the background. I can't even listen to music, I won't drown it out and focus too much on the song instead of what I wanted to be productive in. So I tried some protective hearing earmuffs that block out up to 32 decibels of sound, and that surprisingly worked to increase my focus. By isolating myself from all the noises, I could hear my thoughts clearly and my mind wouldn't scatter as easily. YMMV.
This is a blow for anyone wanting to 'legalize all drugs'.
That is true, we did notice a slow color shift over the years, but that was fine by us. (:
The article you linked is specifically about BPS. The article that you are commenting about is about TMBPF and how the move to TMBPF is not just rebranding but an rather transparent search for a plastic that works and is safe.

I like the idea of avoiding plastic as possible, but saying "any move away from BPA is merely rebranding" is wrong and not helpful. This sort of alarmist comment is more likely to move people away from your point of view or at least give them incorrect ideas.

Well, when you've got over a hundred people at your company, and 20 of them are developers, and an IT staff (non-development) of 3 people, change doesn't come easy.

Aside: I may be able to switch in a couple months... I'm literally working on isolating a windows tether in the primary app I'm working on into an isolated service. After that, it'll be separated enough that I won't have to support it. We also have some other projects that are k8s/docker/linux as the target, and some of the contractors are using macs. So may be able to make a case for a switch.

edit: My experience (elearning, banking, govt) has been no companies supporting desktop users on linux. Though some VM deskop use for software on non-windows servers.
Anyone who has done field recording knows that even with the best directional microphone in a zeppelin, you get an amazing amount of unwanted/unexpected noise. This is why people record 'wild' track in the field, so when they do studio over-dub they can include the right kind of background noise, to make the overdub sound right.

Those wild tracks in the city scape would be fascinating.

You don't know if they have an internal struggle though. Just because they look functional to you doesn't mean it's easy for them.
> It seems like a pretty strange null hypothesis that people are entirely unaffected by the social media they are exposed to.

Why? When people measure how ads perform, the null hypothesis is that the ad has no effect on the behavior of the viewer. Bots are sort of like ads that look like native content.

That being said, I don't think a single data point (Yang) is enough to be conclusive, but it does change my beliefs a little bit on the effectiveness of bots.

> Why is the teenager who follows the Yang bots and MAGA bots "sad"? Is there a corollary teenager following Democrat bots? Are they sad too?

Which party do you think Yang is running for?

Anyway, the article was clearly describing as "sad" that the teenager is trying to build an online following but his "following" is just bots using him to look less like bots.

Agreed. Their reports are horrible and for all practical purposes useless. It has a few other warts and areas of improvement, which bother me, but none as much as the lack of reporting.

Nice. But I can’t help but think there’ll be people who will think to themselves in response to your question, “because wires aren’t modern”.
This is an interesting post if you also follow the subreddit for Yang[0].

There are a lot of people there that created Twitter accounts just to follow Yang and participate in those polls about who is more popular. So when the author mentions the creation of new accounts when Yang started, it actually doesn't surprise me. The campaign is very technocentric after all. Also, these people (a lot of them "true believers" types) do post A LOT on Twitter and get involved in any mention of Yang (go check any YouTube video about Yang). You have to "yang" everyone that you can. It is a really weird community to be honest. But one where they are actively telling one another to create social media accounts to promote Yang. What this post really tells me is that it is hard to distinguish real people from bots. Here's a post even about YouTube comments[1].

I wonder if there's a modern equivalent to this discovery process? I mean that low level systems that require diy and exploration are more thin on the ground. Even a $35 raspberry pi has layers of abstraction many layers higher, and the fact that tablets and phones are much more frequently the first personal computer a kid may own means they don't even need to be exposed to diy systems like the pi, whereas a few decades ago there was no choice.

Don't get me wrong, access to tech is much better, and that's great. I just think it's a different experience than in the past. Not necessarily bad, just... Different

The problem is that... people/companies sometimes do things even if they are illegal.
Yes, I did. 'Light-hearted fun' perhaps but it strikes me as in very poor taste as someone whose parents lived through the 1940s. Okay, you went there - to its logical conclusion in which your time adventures messing around with the past inadvertently sees the Axis win the war and the 1000 year reign commences as forseen. And nobody wants that.

'a heavily moderated community that takes being nice to each other very seriously' would describe this forum, for the most part.

I also prefer a more universal method. Arrayify is the equivalent of those useless specialized vegetable cutters and carvers in the kitchen that Alton Brown so hates. Search/Replace with Regex is universal.

"Since when does playing back music files stretch the limits of what these speakers were designed to do?"

Playing back music files is a use-case that is antagonistic to their current business model and something they would disable immediately if they could.

Playing back music files has no social component, does not require a mobile phone app, and can be done without generating metrics and personally identifiable information.

Playing back music files is the last thing Sonos wants you to do.
That happened because 3D cards used something called "overlay". Recall that your 3D card (Voodoo or some other 3dfx) was an additional card beyond your 2D card. The card would overlay its signal on the 2D card according to 2 parameters: a rectangle and a color.

I assume that videos used the same machinery, possibly in software, so that you couldn't take screenshots for copyright reasons. Or maybe it was faster for some reason, who knows (Raymond Chen might).

Either way, it's probably unrelated.
One of Yang's pitches is that he is pulling from the MAGA group. Just scroll down the subreddit [0] and you'll see tons of posts about MAGA/Republicans switching sides for Yang. If anything I'd __expect__ a real person to be more likely to be connected to both MAGA and Yang (compared to the average democratic voter). But that also makes it difficult to tell real people from bots, which is what this story is really about.

Noticing a lot of layoffs recently.
I was interested in DNA analysis until I realized that doing so meant giving my info to law enforcement and to all the world's corporations who would use that info against my interests, and it couldn't be undone.

I would probably still be interested if there were a company that promised never to share ANYTHING with anybody and to destroy every trace of my info and sample within 90 days. But that company isn't 23andme, for sure.
It’s not this issue itself as much as the half-assed practical non-support for Linux, and the suspicious malware they push on you.

This might not be applicable to you, but I will say that meditating is like reading speed. Everyone says they can do it better than they can. I've done multiple meditation retreats and have meditated for years. For me, a "focused" meditation when I'm a bit out of practice means I'm actually focused maybe 3% of the time, and I consider myself a relatively focused individual.

For example, try this: Sit down in a mildly uncomfortable position and close your eyes. Take slow deep breaths, focusing entirely on your breath. Count each breath. If your focus wanes at all from that task, stop counting and see how high you got. When I first start this exercise, it's pretty common for me to not even be able to hit 5. But after 6-7 days of this I can usually get up to the 45-60 range.
Yeah, this isn't science fiction or conspiracy theory anymore. Several high-profile cold cases have gone hot as police have been trawling the datasets submitted to 23AndMe et al and investigating the family trees of persons whose DNA is similar-ish to the samples in unsolved cases. [0]

20+ yrs ago Pharma was pushing doctors to use opioids more liberally since the manufactures said that they were safe for people that really needed it. Now we see that that was a mistake.

I suspect that we are heading in the same direction with pot. In the future, we will be looking back and wonder why we were not careful with the use of it. I think it should be legal but it should not be treated like its use has no consequences.
