No you are wrong. The fact that ADHD is a mostly subjective collection of behavioral traits, many people get lumped in as ADHD. So many people called ADHD would have normal brains.

There are a core set of people who definitely have brains that are different and need medication etc.But the way it is currently diagnosed lumps too many people and makes it useless to call all people with ADHD the same.

My son with Generalized Anxiety Disorder was diagnosed with severe ADHD. This is the problem because many things can cause the same set of behaviors so a diagnosis of ADHD is not accurate enough.
Being forced to do a low-level job for a somewhat extended period that is probably not directly to your day-to-day is a bit much. However, depending on the situation/company etc., having employees work support or otherwise put themselves in the shoes of people using the products they're involved with making every now and then shouldn't be something they view as beneath them.
I thought it was laziness, impatience and hubris.
That's remarkable - I don't even tell my parents my salary.

Hi author here,

I made this project because although there are a lot of resume makers online, they generally require giving your data to somebody.

This project runs completely client side so no personal data is collected (also no ads or tracking). Resumes can also be re uploaded to continue editing.

Code is here: https://github.com/sschandi/create-resume/
Looks like a bunch of people who are happy to write Haskell code in exchange for money.

Also most of the dialogs have been lying from the start, implying that they need permission for the cookies "required to run the site", which are in fact session cookies, which do not require the dialog. It seems they've become stricter about what the dialogs should say (probably the GDPR? which is predated by the cookie dialog law), but in the beginning there was a lot of misinformation (not always deliberate, some frontend devs were also just misinformed). And this, at least in part, caused the wrong reaction from the public: That the cookie dialogs are stupid and annoying, instead of informing them that certain sites would really like to use cookies for purposes of 3rd party advertising and tracking networks. Maybe if there had been more websites proudly displaying a (non annoying) banner "our site's cookies are fine; they do not require a cookie dialog!". I don't know.

> You can buy shares that give you voting rights in a company

Which is saying that you can only have a "vote" if you're wealthy enough. That doesn't seem like an actual solution to me.

Which is what I do, but doing that doesn't affect the company's behavior.
For one, this is something existing employees are being told to sign. So they've been working at a job liable to give them PTSD for quite some time, and only now is the company acknowledging it... via a legal disclaimer they're forcing employees to sign.

> It also seeks to make employees responsible for monitoring changes in their mental health and orders them to disclose negative changes to their supervisor or HR representative.

Absolute abdication of responsibility. Doesn't exactly scream "fair treatment" to me.
That's interesting. I know I'm well over 20 a month on searches like that. I'd wonder if they base it on other things (like connections). I did have a paid account in the past, but it's been a few years since I opted for the free one.
Cosmogenic Acceleration: Futurity and Ethics
A common issue with C++ software is the need for a stable, standard ABI, which C provides but C++ does not (except through `extern "C"`). Because C++ name mangling is not standardized and the standard library headers have tons of implementation-specific details, something like `void foo(std::unique_ptr<Bar>);` does not have a stable ABI.
> Employment law experts contacted by The Verge said Accenture’s requirement that employees tell their supervisor about negative changes to their mental health could be viewed as an illegal requirement to disclose a disability or medical condition to an employer.

> The Verge’s investigation last month into Accenture’s Austin site described hundreds of low-paid immigrants toiling in what the company calls its violent extremism queue, removing videos flagged for extreme violence and terrorist content. Working for $18.50 an hour, or about $37,000 a year, employees said they struggled to afford rent and were dealing with severe mental health struggles. The moment they quit Accenture or get fired, they lose access to all mental health services. One former moderator for Google said she was still experiencing symptoms of PTSD two years after leaving.
To me, a more fair comparison would be how Amazon requires all office workers to shadow a customer support representative for one week out of each year.

I don't think the OP's suggestion does anything close to reinventing the concept of a worker cooperative.
I wish it helped. I had a staff member's motor cycle stolen in broad daylight in London outside the shop. Two guys in helmets grabbed the parked bike, rolled it down the hill to start it and drove away. No result on catching them, everything on camera.
Maybe that "too big" argument should be revisited in light of recent standard sizes.
There are risks that people can understand and appreciate up front.

There are risks that simply are not fully conciously appreciated until they've been experienced directly.

There are risks whose cumulative effects only build with time, often taking years, even decades, to fully manifest.

And there are risks which fundamentally change the capacity of the affected to even recognise or admit their existence or severity.

PTSD is all of these.

Self-monitoring, encouragement to seek help, and provision of a nonclinical "wellness coach" is grossly insufficient.

The companies, and in this case, contractors (Accenture), providing such services, as well as outside oversight entities such as government regulators, physical and mental health services, unions, and insurers, know (or damned well should), can monitor, and impose regulations, limits, risk premiums, compensation and settlement systems, and collective bargaining powers, for such work.

Business is a risk-externalising engine. Some risks absolutely need to be fully internalised. This is a prime case.

NB: I've worked at various times as a moderator, on spam-detecting and reporting systems which entail seeing some unpleasantness. And on a large social media network where I was tasked with removing flagged images from the storage network. The flagging process hadn't been explained in any detail, and as I would be deleting millions of items of user content, I spot-checked a small handful to confirm the flagging was accurate.

After no more than a half dozen (and probably fewer) I simply didn't want to see any more -- the image from over a decade of a young girl still lodges in my mind, though I've never wiped, nuked, and shredded files on disk harder.

I'm satisfied with the fact that the scripts I created wiped all that content from our and our CDN's storage not in the weeks or months of the initial estimate (our CDN vendor apparently had never considered widespread deletions, or experienced them), but less than two days, with verification. Never heard any reports of unwarranted deletion either.

Somewhere else within the organisation, unknown to me, others had seen and verified those images. I think of who they might have been and the impacts on them.
Most of their top engineers would quit and go to work for another company that values their time. Quality of service would fall because top people have left. They would have a lot more difficult time to find any engineers to work for them.
This assumes your time-machine is built into a Delorean or an H.G Wells-style chair.

The solution is obvious: put it on a spaceship, fly out to the middle of nowhere, then use the time-machine. At that point you just need to get your bearings and fly back to your destination.

I think the music one has to do with how she was taught music. lf she was taught from sheet music early on that can greatly impact the ability for someone to improvise. If they where taught the basic technique of the instrument and then given time to free play and figure out songs by earn /experiment they'll have much better improvisen skills.
It is not done in certain circles, and of course all circles engage in wealth (or its proxy, virtue) signalling, because we are apes who can't help themselves. Dutch society pretends to be above all that, and thereby developed a neat little blind spot on its radar. That situation isn't helped by its particularly irritant way of ignoring any contrarianism until the evidence is so overwhelming we all pretend we have always seen it in this new way.

Class signalling is thus more subtle, e.g. you better not sound too provincial, you can observe the way one dresses, and what clubs or sports are frequented. The usual, but more toned down compared to driving a ridiculous BMW or somesuch.

After a woman reached out to me on Facebook last Father's Day I took the 23andme test. Yes I had a new to me baby sister!

She found me after taking the test herself looking for her (our) paternal linneage. A not too distant common relative did the 23andme too and a little detective work in online obituaries was all she needed to find me. Strangest FB message I have gotten to date. I thought she was a cybersecurity recruiter as I noticed she was looking at my LinkedIn profile a few days prior to contact.

I used to be more concerned about the privacy implications. Maybe it's my age or something but I feel at peace with my choice. Besides I realized once one somewhat close relative is in the database it takes very little to link us all up.

Was it worth it all things considered? For me it was though without the desire to confirm our relationship I probably wouldn't have done it.

I think I engage in a similar thing, but I think the “collaboration game” doesn’t quite describe it. When I meet someone new, I want to hear about a topic they know a lot about that I’m unfamiliar with (recently topics have included the Spanish monarchy, the difference between hot dogs and sausages, and Costa Rica) - we don’t collaborate on anything, so I think I might call it the “Interesting Difference Game.”
Since I'm a boring white male who isn't currently angering any "actors" of significant size I'm not too worried about that. I would be much more worried about 23 and me sharing my DNA than James Bond busting through my window and stealing my poop for DNA.
> It's called branding and because's limited words that naturally have meaning - and the best words are likely to be coopted for projects in similar fields

"best" based on what criteria? Searchability is certainly a factor, no? Branding is pretty useless if people can't find your product.

> then it's not difficult for people to search "lumen elixir". Likewise if the site you're on is contextual to Elixir then just searching "lumen" will find the result you're looking for.

Right... until someone else creates another Elixir project called Lumen.

I think at some point you have to agree that naming collisions are a problem. The question isn't whether naming collisions are a problem, it's how far we want to subdivide fields before we consider collision to be a problem.

I'd argue that you're drastically underestimating this effect: having to type "Elixir" is definitely going to prevent some people from finding this project. For example, if I'm working with Elixir, and I need to do some frontend work, and someone on the internet suggests Lumen: I'll search "lumen", find the PHP framework, and probably guess that the person on the internet didn't really understand what I was trying to do, which is not an unreasonable guess given the widely-varying quality of answers from randos on the internet. Sure, I could search "lumen elixir", but how would I know to do that if I didn't already know what it was?

Contrast this with other ways of measuring the value of a name. Lumen is a word related to BEAM? Why is that important? Sounds cool? Again, why is that important? Pronounceable/memorable? Okay, but actually there are thousands of words that are unused, that are both those things.

You can't trot out "it's called branding" as if that proves any of these things are important: highly successful brands like "Prozac" or "Kleenex" or "Clorox" show that even being a real word isn't important.

I know you're mocking him, but I didn't read it as a flex at all.

>So if anyone wants to claim that his observation was wrong, they would need to explain why his prediction turned out to be true

Well, who said his prediction turned out to be true? Who actually measured the "impact to productivity" in any quantifiable terms? And who re-did that measurement after "No Silver Bullet, Refired" (which was 25+ years ago)?
yes, I suppose my post was too dryly sarcastic to be obvious but really the EU has been doing quite a bit more than other nations or international organizations to stop the surveillance state and it seems a little unfair to pick on what attack of a symptom and saying but stopping this symptom won't do enough.

Not sure if this kind of problem isn't best solved by attacking the symptoms anyway, until you build up a sort of selection of anti-surveillance principles that can be used to decide new laws and regulations.

But I guess I'm pretty pro-EU so this kind of thing makes me grumpy.
Do you have any sources for your claim of batteries multiplying the cost for renewables by "5, 10 or more" in a realistic grid scenario? Did you take into account that most energy storage is done with hydro, not batteries?

I haven't had time to carefully review the literature, but there seem to be quite a few papers that claim that storage for a 100% renewable grid would not be such a big issue.

401Ks, IRAs and other retirement plans are usually protected unless the creditor is the Federal government, e.g. the IRS or the Department of Education.
It's kinda funny how we selectively care. Usually we only care about the things we feel we could be good at. Someone like Lebron James has a lot more status than I ever will. But I just don't care because I have never been good at basketball (or sports) and I don't really care about the skill.

But someone who is a 10x programmer or has published a lot of great results in mathematics? That pit of envy in my stomach will appear.

It gets worse when you compare yourself to someone who is better in both the things you care about AND the things you don't care about. This is because we placate ourselves with the fact that others are better at what we care about by saying, "at least I am better at them in this area, even if I don't care about it too much."

The way Christianity deals with this problem is one of the most appealing things about it for me. "From dust you came to dust you will return." Instead of focusing on your selfish ambition and self-glory, focus on the beauty of what is at play, ultimately seeing it as rays of light coming from God's glory.
Not beneath me, but I do value using my time as optimally as possible. Maybe a week of customer support once in life or few years would be great, but why should I choose a company that forces me to spend my time unwisely? It is not about being beneath me. I just want to solve problems programmatically, not be customer support. You know engineers can not be forced either, they can leave any time due to market demand so good luck to anyone trying to make their employees do something like that.
there are lots of reasons someone can fear for their lives if their whatsapp history became public, that do not involve unethical behaviour by that person. usually involves unethical behaviour by other persons, though. probably wise not to judge as quickly without knowledge of the entire picture.

> Isn't the impact of parents who provide a "nurturing environment" versus those who don't pretty well established?

Studies which control for genetic confounding (twin and adoption studies) tend to show that parents have essentially zero impact on how children turn out. Genetics explains about half of the variance we see in how people turn out. The test is randomness. Caveats: within the range of normal. Obviously seriously injuring or killing your child has a permanent affect on how they turn out.

> Lesson #1: Test and trim keywords sets before hiring an agency to scale things

This isn't how agencies work. You did the keyword research and testing yourself and then paid some one else to do it again.

Unless I misunderstand you, you misunderstood them. They are saying that they didn't test and trim first and paid a lot of money to the agency that they didn't need to. They should have started with a smaller set.

> Lesson #4: Don’t assume organic conversion rate will hold true for paid

Different ads target customers at different stages of the buying journey, ads don't dump to the top of your funnel they dump to landing pages designed to convert that demographic.

So do organic searches. The initial Google hypothesis was that if someone was searching they would be interested in buying, and showing them an ad right then would be optimal because they are interested in buying (or else they wouldn't click it).

The idea that conversion is better with organic than ad does indeed seem to falsify that hypothesis. But maybe not. There could be click-fraud involved, too, which can dramatically drop the conversion rate.

I worked for a firm, which studied satellite navigation and implementation for air traffic control, guidance, safety, and ILS. I don't think that will ever happen. There are huge gaping issues with GPS, both WAAS and GBAS. It's very unreliable, especially in bad weather. The old-school RF tower and ILS, which used Carrier frequency pairings by the runway, are way more reliable and propagate bad weather while guiding the plane into a runway. There's also been ongoing issues with truckers, with GPS jammers, which drive by airports impacting the quality of signal for planes coming into runway. Even the GPS signal itself has latency and lag, which prevents the plane from making quick adjustments for avoiding traffic and ILS guidance.
