I was diagnosed in my 30s in part by the T.O.V.A. test, which gave me surprising insights.

The hardest part of the test for me was to stop pushing the button when it told me to. It's hard to describe how difficult that was for me. By the end I distinctly recall the familiar sense I had in school of feeling dumb, inadequate, and frustrated.

In the T.O.V.A. results I was normal range for Inattention and Reaction Time. My Inconsistency was 75/100 but the shocker was my Impulsivity. My commission errors put me at 52/100, what the psychologist said was more or less a mentally retarded range.

On 10mg of Adderall, I retook T.O.V.A. and scored normal ranges across the board.

That helped me better understand why I was a class clown underachiever who barely graduated.

I cried the first time I studied a tech manual on Adderall. It was as if my brain were a radio that tuned into a clear channel for the first time. I wondered if that was how "normal" people are able to concentrate.

Soon, however, the stimulant honeymoon wore off as my tolerance increased and side effects ensued. Today I take nothing. I've noticed the symptoms being less disturbing since my mid-40s.

A weird part about being on Adderall is it slowed down my brain and reduced my quirky left-field personality to such a degree that I didn't feel like myself anymore, though I felt much more confident. One of my children also has the diagnosis and says the exact same thing. He only takes Adderall as needed for school challenges that require extra concentration. An early diagnosis for him helped him dodge the co-morbid problems that plagued me for years.

I don't tell friends or co-workers about the diagnosis. Even my spouse has expressed doubt about it.
Current, unaffected employee here. Throwaway for obvious reasons.

A big chunk of the layoff is the new lab that we built in Phoenix. That only made economic sense in the scenario where we were selling far more kits than we succeeded in selling.

The rest of the layoffs have a similar root cause: a massive overestimate of how much we were going to sell.

I'd blame the shortfall on some combination of growing privacy concerns from customers, failure to understand the demand elasticity as we cut back on discounts, maybe some slowing of consumer discretionary spending, and maybe saturating the market.
Oh come on -- that's the kind of petty observation the Left always makes. Everyone's a hypocrite...

I think this is part of the issue - the subject of women's business groups and their psychological efficacy, and at a larger scale women's under-representation in tech, has been a conversation in cyberspace/meatspace for several years. At some point, asking the same questions about the premise of a movement become an affront to the movement itself. You can compare this to other identity-based movements; asking the question "why are there all-black congregations? Are those even psychologically beneficial for black people?" or "why are there gay bars? Do they actually promote well-being for gay people?" are not questions that people ask (in the part of the world that I'm in) because those questions seem like non-issues: of course black people want to feel community with other black people. Of course gay people want to connect with other gay people. It's perceived as almost rude to ask!

Maybe this has to do with a cultural mismatch. For many, gender politics has been a frequent conversational topic in their information spheres for many years. For you, it may have not been. Just a perspective for moving forward.

If you're interested in understanding the female perspective in tech, I would recommend being a fly on the wall in communities of women:

As long as you apologize whenever what you said turns out to be false, I don't see the problem.
I'm not saying you're wrong as that was my initial reaction too. I am curious though, how does being a salaried employee factor into this? I mean, is there really a designation of what is company time? Is it because, he's in the office, even if he's using his own phone? You could say that he isn't technically on the clock, since they aren't paying him a wage for that specific slice of time. I'm genuinely curious. Is there case law that factors into this?
> the amount of fake news spread through WhatsApp — the liberal forums in India are filled with stories of how people are losing relationships or finding it difficult to digest the fact that their loved ones are close minded bigots.

Can’t understand what this means. Are you saying the liberal forums are full of people who are struggling with family members who are deluded by WhatsApp based fake news?
You diagnose a disease by the symptoms, this goes for any disease or disorder. Problem is that there are not actual diseases here but rather groupings of symptoms (as you say, its not just for ADHD though) and that its a checklist which is filled out often based solely on verbal questions answered by a child.

Another interesting thing to consider is that a lot of psychological disorders are culture bound (and therefor in my humble opinion irrelevant as groupings even for psychiatric purposes).

I'm not accusing them of advancing a consistent or defendable position, just that there is always a danger in the military adopting a technology. To add another example, what if signal has a flaw which allows a foreign adversary to read all signal messages and that this ends up harming US natural security. The government now has an incentive to regulate signal as "critical telecommunication infrastructure" necessary for the security of the US.
Hate to break it to you, but the OP's edited comment is far less harmful than yours.

I've been suffering from a myriad of symptoms that happen to match up with Segawa's... a disease I learned about less than ten minutes ago.

Please don't make statements requesting that other's don't share their experiences with misdiagnosis and rare conditions. It's rude and furthers the stigma that some conditions are too rare for their sufferers to discuss.
Yes I agree, I just think that you can build a system to keep a token person in the loop that will drive the cost down regardless. It's similar to how regulators tried to ban "computerized trading" and traders literally built a machine hand that presses the enter key.

Making the cost artificially high by banning a particular type of technology is not addressing the real problem of civil liberties.

Most of what's used in enterprise are used, so no examples really needed. Upstream activity tends to be minimal, but it happens, usually indirectly via contractors. There are many stories online that can be found by searching, in regards to specific systems, and some software.

There are also various parties working hard to promote more OSS use in DoD, two examples: GAO, OSSI. Not to mention the DoD is mandated to release at least twenty percent of its own custom software as open source. Like anything gov, it's a slow process.

See if you can double your meditation time to a full hour, then re-evaluate the effects. I have a feeling you're just not meditating long enough. The longer the meditation session, the deeper the effects.

I've gone for 3 to 4 hours stretches myself, with valuable results, and I know some people meditate all day, for days, weeks, or months at a time. Most people don't have the luxury to do such extended meditation sessions except maybe on vacation, but several hours a day on weekends should be doable. Try to stretch your limits.

Really the "public places" part of the definition betrays a fundamental informational illiteracy in that they don't acknowledge the separation of the data from where it is gathered.

Just a few silly demonstrative edge cases:

- If I run facial recognition software on a public camera feed on a computer in private would it be legal?
- If in Europe in public and running facial recognition software on my laptop processing say my own personal family photo album would I violate the law?
- Would running it on news footage of a public street be legal? What about if it was an interview where you would get thrown out if you tried to enter.

It's been normalized.

Even banks that explicitly prohibit user/pw sharing with external tools in their ToS (every one of them basically), will often have aggregation features in their portals that require you to enter the user/pw for the external accounts you want to connect.

They might even have back-end API's that allow other aggregators programmatic access to your data, that require your user/pw to auth. But don't share your user/pw with anyone, they say!

The point is to prevent a reality where some people can track the whereabouts of all (or nearly all) people living in a city in an efficient way. You could of course try automating this using humans, but the cost will indeed be much higher, the efficiency much lower, and even this process itself might be banned if it were to lead to the same result.
This is a super packed field. There are many budget apps out there. I was unhappy with all of them so I wrote my own. For a while I had some thoughts of pushing it and turning it into a company, but ultimately I just kept it for myself. Good luck, would love to see a budget app that is truly good.
You can bet that's how they are going to try to define this.
I guess you could say the same in the US. Actual facts and critical discourse have to be actively sought out by people who actually care about these things while the vast majority are swimming in a sea of mainstream media noise.
But like most tech companies they give their employees a lot of freedom to adjust their hours. If the employee is free to take an hour during the normal workday to pick up groceries, it stands to reason they can use it to recruit their friends for a venture.

Extraordinary claims, though, require extraordinary proof. And the onus is on Apple to prove what they allege. Somehow I don't think the judge will agree with your rather lax definition of "company time". I'd define it more reasonably as "time during which company resources were used or company work was claimed to be done", i.e. you're in the office, or using company hardware at home, or specifically claim to be working from home, stuff like that.

Timing is everything; the narrower the bandwidth of the communications channel, the more important context becomes if you want to avoid falling victim to Poe's law.

It's not obvious that intent is sarcastic when it expresses a commonly held position, unless the sarcastic person is well known to have different views - not so easy to discern on a site like HN. To be obvious to the casual reader, you need to articulate a position which goes to absurd extremes, eg

A bit alarming to see the government embracing an end-to-end chat system with perfect forward secrecy, considering that it impede economic growth in our identity-theft and espionage industries.

Of course, that might not be recognizable as sarcasm in some countries where such activities are of greater strategic importance.
> Hate to break it to you, but the OP's edited comment is far less harmful than yours.

It has been significantly, damned near whole cloth, edited in several ways since I said something, so I'd ask a little consideration that I'm coming from a good place. I'm not asking for anyone to avoid discussing Segawa's; I'm specifically responding to the speculation, across multiple comments, that the common element of dopamine as a neurotransmitter makes them related diseases. Given that people attack doctors when they try to arrest harmful discussion like this, I'm taking great pains to not be rude, so I apologize for coming across that way.

If you diagnosed yourself with Segawa's based on Wikipedia, please bear in mind that my single diagnosis across my entire career involved four months of differential diagnosis and observation, and led to a publication. It's simply that rare. There are several much more common possibilities, and I'd ask you to talk with your neurologist with an open mind rather than assuming the Internet has steered you correctly. That's also part of the reason I've responded as I have, exactly due to what you're saying.
That's silly. This is more like a map charging you to list your address. You make it sound like not owning wikipedia.org suddenly means they lose all their servers.

Yeah, that's a good followup. It's akin to having a strong counterargument in an academic paper. What I'm going for with the question is an understanding of how the candidate acquires knowledge. Are they generating it themselves via some process like the scientific method? Are they mostly doing that but maybe taking shortcuts here and there by credulously taking on the opinions of trusted sources? Are they throwing all of that overboard and just embracing opinions/received wisdom that are popular or correlate with higher compensation?

The problem I've run into is that it's a pretty easy question to game, if you know the purpose behind asking it; nobody is going to come out and say, e.g., "I think ORMs are dumb because that's what other folks seem to say, and I see those people having high-status/well-compensated jobs, and I'd like some of that too, plz." So maybe it's not a great "weeder" question. /shrug

I think a good way to put it would be if you're in a spot where a single person or entity could seriously damage you, you haven't protected yourself sufficiently well and they have control over you.

Instead, rely on many people, that way any single person's damage is fairly well mitigated.

In fact, I had a company find this out about me the hard way late last year. They were harmed much more than I was, in fact.
