My answer to that question will come across snarky or "the medical profession appealing to authority," I'm afraid, because I'd like to see your remarks entirely removed as medically harmful. Your purpose is clear from your other, more to the point remark: if only it had been for a random HN commenter who's never been to medical school speculating about two entirely unrelated diseases based on the presence of a common hormone, you might have avoided the diagnostic history and pain in your family that you report. That's a ridiculous position, both interpersonally as well as scientifically, but I know that engaging on it with you will look like I'm trying to steer people to my field rather than encouraging independent research of our discipline.

I'm here because I'm learning to write software, but I wouldn't pretend to understand the paper or mathematic theory behind, say, Paxos because I recognize some terms in it. I know my limitations, and all I ask is that you consider them, as well. The problem with raising awareness as you are is that it's difficult to objectively remove yourself: Segawa's is _incredibly_ rare, making all of the events in your family difficult to explain. Scientifically, transferring your experiences to others is a very tall order without much further study (and I hope you, and your family, are being studied, specifically because the genetics of Segawa's are poorly understood). What people portray as medical professionals swinging the hammer on "the information that could make us irrelevant" is actually trying to stand fast to the exact same scientific discipline that you, and every member of this audience, does in _every single other context_.

Your speculation about the relationship between ADHD and Segawa's is so far off base that a second-year medical student could probably explain why; you just happen to have been diagnosed with both. Left unspoken: it is quite possible to have both, because they present and manifest in different ways.

Oh please my sides, they hurt, I can only laugh so hard.
My comment, which you’re responding to, already spoke from the perspective of a customer. As a customer, if I buy a toaster, I expect it to not ever change, either via gaining or losing functionality. Conversely, if I buy an iPhone, I expect it to get updates over time until it eventually doesn’t, and if I want to keep getting updates, I have to replace it. I don’t have devices which both continue being supported forever and get continuous updates. And if I have many things that are part of the same system, they need to work together, clearly, so if some keep getting improvements and the others don’t, they will no longer function as a single system.

I don’t think their update was phrased perfectly, but no updates are phrased perfectly. And the overall concept of updating vs static devices isn’t really that shocking.
The rule I quoted is a summary of the position and not to be taken as legal framework on decision making. The rules are mulled over in the white paper and it would take some time to digest it before making a comment on how the rule could potentially work in the future. The current process is for the white paper to be published and then call for opinions on comments.
I love this question! I especially like that you point out to not being stressed or depressed.

How cool is it at a time where no one seems to have time and is depressed and stressed to experience boredom? Boredom sounds 90s, a time in which people practiced humanity! The world lays at your feet. Be active - draw, read books, go out, taste red wine, be creative, do photography, learn photoshop, play an instrument, get involved in an intense relationship with a friend, listen to classic music really loud, go an adventures and enjoy it. And enjoy boredom!
I'm not here to spoon-feed you basic concepts. If you find my comment thought provoking you can surely look up phrases like 'systematic discrimination' or 'discrimination against people of Irish descent' and build the necessary context for yourself.

Somehow I do not notice middle ground. All I see is the overwhelming force present virtually everywhere you can point your finger on the map bar couple of places where the US dares not to go. Meanwhile I think even with 1/10th of it current force the US can surely defend its territory and citizens. I agree about pollution: depleted uranium and agent orange for example are way more preferable then the alternative.
> From the perspective of the manufacture, i kind of get it,

From the perspective of the manufacturer, it's either a fairly blatant cash grab or poor design.
Now could you explain away major depression using the same logic?
Unfortunately, classified comms of various classification levels spill over into publicly available channels all the time, both accidental and out of laziness, but also sometimes an immediate necessity.
Originally, in earlier versions of the script the humans were used as CPUs. IIRC the studio made the Wachowskis change to using humans for power generation.

Yeah. Facial recognition by itself is fine, but let them be in hot water if they use it for identifying others.

It's similar to how GDPR and similar laws operate. Collecting the data is fine, but you'll get in trouble if you process & distribute that data without clearly notifying your users.

Note that you did not buy an appliance from GE, you bought it from Haier & KKR. Haier & KKR bought the appliance division from GE and licensed the GE brand until 2056.[1] The home appliances business, namely Haier Smart Home, has 7 global brands – Haier, Casarte, Leader, GE Appliances, Fisher & Paykel, Aqua and Candy. [2] Boycott the mothership for best effect!

(Most of the stuff you see with the GE logo on is licensed branding and GE has nothing to do with it except collecting a fee for the use of their logo.)

This reminds me of a lesson I learned in an intro to Economics class : everyone's lot in life is a combination of luck, effort, and ability. Those whose view of the world from a left-of-center perspective (those who downplay self-reliance) really just think luck far outweighs the other two. Someone right-of-center thinks that effort is the most important. Most right-of-center people I know don't discredit the impact of other people on their lives. They just live as if effort and self-reliance can help them overcome bad luck.
It is really unfortunate that the top comment as of this time, above, is "there is no such thing as ADHD".

Stop it.
Wave is actually pretty decent now. Used to have an abysmal interface, but made some moves in the last few years.

I wish mint kept going. Used to love it.
Extremely coincidentally, I literally had Mint.com open for my daily scan when I saw this article.

From the quote: "For all of Mint’s failure to evolve and improve, its core functionality continues to be fundamentally useful."

--> Brilliant. That makes it EXACTLY how I like my tools & apps. It has basic, streamlined, mature, well-evolved and easy functionality, it works well and predictably, the owner is not trying to squeeze it out of extra revenue, and all's well with the world.
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 12 and put on stimulants until I was about 23. I had the classic symptoms of not being able to clean my room, not being able to stay on top of bills, couldn’t use a calendar, bumped into things, changed topics constantly, etc.

One day, I did LSD and it permanently alleviated my major symptoms. I felt like my brain had a major reset, and I finally knew what it was like to be in the present moment. I stopped taking medications, and 9 years later, I’m doing fine.

I later learned from other psychedelics that traumas and not having emotional connection to my authoritarian parents contributed to my ADHD symptoms.

I can guarantee that psychedelic therapy will be huge for ADHD sufferers in the near future, especially with the potential effects like neuroplasticity and neurogenesis.
The line plainly ends after every family members stop meddling in official business. In other words, and royalty meddling in state affairs should be liable as an agent of the state. Can't have their cake and eat it too you know?

I'd say we take the path that Americans always take. Hellfire missles, humvees, boots, cheap beer, Marlboros, and McDonald's.

The families refusal to cooperate is their national sovereignty hard at work covering up 3k+ murders and counting.

The United states government has failed to appropriately retaliate against the perpetrators. They can't even prove who paid for the attacks, or that evidence is a state secret. Either way it's a colossal injustice to the aggrieved, and a huge stain on the investigative capabilities of every us agency.

What's the worst that can happen if our government starts standing up to regressive and petty regimes like those of Arabia or China?
>Fascism rose in popularity 100 years ago as a political option.

more generally totalitarism rose as that option with 2 major branches - either political class/party based, i.e. communism, or national/ethnical identity based, ie. fascism

>Perhaps it is undergoing a renaissance.

giving the increased technological opportunities for the totalitarism (and some, who didn't learn history, even argue - need - as totalitarism entice with seemingly easy solutions to a lot of modern issues) combined with knee-jerk "hide back into national village with good old traditional lifestyle" reaction to globalism it would be strange if we don't see the rise of nationally/xenophobically colored totalitaristic style tendencies.

> it seems to attract support.

populism is extremely natural and foundational to fascism as fascism panders to the perceived core identity of the subject mass of people.

>why anyone thinks

that is the point. Looking at videos and reading about the Nazi rallies, China Cultural Revolution events, USSR Great Purge and whole Stalin period, ... - it is pretty clear that it isn't the higher, the "thinking", level of the brain that gets to drive, it is that lizard part.
Yes, surely if we cant track everyone's movements everywhere at all times, our civilization will crumble into dust.
Well, making the cost artificially high can be a point in itself. Sometimes the concern about a technology is the ubiquity and scaling.

But aside from that, to address your questions:

1. If there's a human in the loop, the human can be accountable. Explainability and accountability of algorithmic decision-making is an emerging concern, especially to the extent that algorithms may encode bias in their training data.

2. Real-time systems. Being real-time qualitatively changes the impact this can have on your day-to-day life. Taking the human out of the loop makes many applications feasible that otherwise wouldn't be. Like doors.
It is actually happening for a while but for the last 5 years, it was done under the disguise of progressive leadership. Now that the economy is down the drain the people are waking up to see the true face of our leaders.

Thanks to the uneducated buffoon at the helm who faked his degree, didn't listen to Reserve Bank/Chief Economic Advisors and ruined the economy.

From a NY Times story a few weeks ago on this [1]:

> A top panel of government-appointed scientists, many of them hand-selected by the Trump administration, said on Tuesday that three of President Trump’s most far-reaching and scrutinized proposals to weaken major environmental regulations are at odds with established science.

> Draft letters posted online Tuesday by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Scientific Advisory Board, which is responsible for evaluating the scientific integrity of the agency’s regulations, took aim at the Trump administration’s rewrite of an Obama-era regulation of waterways, an Obama-era effort to curb planet-warming vehicle tailpipe emissions and a plan to limit scientific data that can be used to draft health regulations.

> In each case, the 41 scientists on a board — many of whom were appointed by Trump administration officials to replace scientists named by the Obama administration — found the regulatory changes flew in the face of science.

> A forthcoming rule on water pollution “neglects established science” by “failing to acknowledge watershed systems,” the scientists said. They found “no scientific justification” for excluding certain bodies of water from protection under the new regulations.

> People working in tech not in the bay aren't second tier.

Are we though? If we were to establish criteria by which to judge tiers how would anywhere else in the world compare to the Bay? My intuition is that the Bay is probably more productive and gets paid far more for it. The bay certainly drives just about about every tech trend worth a note. Innovation as well how much tech came out out of that region.

Disclaimer: I would love to move there one day just to be in that world.
Can you give examples?

Title: My Emacs Productivity Tricks/Hacks

hncynic 1 minute ago

I used this for some time and never looked back.

In my .emacs.d file, the arrow keys, a key with a cursor keys (which are the key bindings for the .emacs.d file above) and then a shortcut to switch to the command that makes use of those.

But I now have a full screen keyboard and mouse.

Here's another way to do it:

M-x { C-c }

You go in the current directory, move up the left arrow key, press escape and hit the backspace key.
If they make that argument, it shouldn't be much of a stretch to say that the 2nd amendment should apply to this technology then.
Oh i see it's différent kind of relationship/competition indeed
The article does go on to say:

> The case will likely hinge the specific facts of Williams’ planning for Nuvia, Palefsky said. Given that work at modern tech jobs rarely sticks to traditional business hours, it may be difficult to untangle whether calls were made during company time or personal time.

That's actually a pretty fair thing. Apple may define, for example, its "company time" as any time the office is open and accessible to employees -- which is a pretty wide window.
This is correct - I use mermaid js (the site is made with VuePress)
I'm in search and rescue near the Tahoe area.

So far we've had good luck with beacon call-outs. The cases we've responded to have almost entirely been folks that were legitimately stuck or lost, and yes, they were somewhat under-prepared for the situation they were in, but that's just the modern reality of outdoor play and it makes no more sense to expect all recreationists to be perfectly prepared than it makes to expect all software developers to build some idealized unit-tested software.

I have heard from other SAR groups that the beacons have been a mixed bag, and they're getting too many call-outs from people who just got tired and want a ride home. Those people deserve a verbal chewing-out from the local coordinator, but on balance I'd still rather everyone go out with beacons and have a good time and hit that button if they need to.
Problem is that we have lived with crony capitalism too and long and have mostly accepted it. Perhaps we need to step out of the traditional definitions and our understanding of existing economic systems, "zoom out of the forest" if you will to see if we can really fix it or do we just need to evolve to (or adopt) a whole new system.
It should count. The DoD has different interests than FBI and CIA. It should make sense that DoD wants encryption, it makes their jobs easier. It should also make sense that the FBI and CIA don't want encryption, lack of makes their jobs easier.

Just because they're both government agencies doesn't mean they are colluding against the people. Different agencies have different agendas and prerogatives. It's also well known that agencies often fight over things and don't exactly work together well.
It preys directly on human psychology by creating myths about how life used to be great and invoking nostalgia and frustration in broken people who just need guidance. No one who likes fascism sees it the way normal people do, because it's designed to trick people and weed its way into collective society and psyche.

This is why we must make a continuous effort to stomp it before it spreads and never listen to people who call us silly for saying Modi is a fascist just because he isn't Hitler's level yet.
I searched for something similar a while back and found: https://grouptabs.net/

Used it on a couple of trips and thought it was fantastic. No sign up required, free to use, and open source. Worked well for my use cases (trips, not month to month reconcilliation) so YMMV
Assault - direct attack

Force projection - do as we say or else.
It highlights common misconceptions with psychiatric methods as well as small critiques of those methods.

If you're on the flipside and benefit from the drug prescriptions: good for you. I think if it were more generally acknowledged that there can be sub-clinical or contextual forms of ADHD my life would benefit.

> I discovered that Apple’s operating system was improperly reacting to a dead battery in the machine.

Improperly reacting to a dead battery, in your opinion.

The software is probably making an attempt to limit load to a bare minimum to prevent the system from shutting off from not receiving enough power. Or it could be a bug, sure. Good luck getting any manufacturer of anything to fix a firmware bug from 9 years ago.

But all that is an aside, a reasonable person would consider a laptop without a functioning battery to not be a useful device. It’s not Apple’s fault that you were and are too stubborn to replace it.

I don’t complain about my car not driving (in annoying PDF form) because I never bothered to replace the clutch while the thing still moved. Now the dealer doesn’t keep clutches for my 1999 Honda Civic in stock and refuses to work on it. In that situation a rational person is going to be servicing it with junkyard and eBay parts, since the car is really not even worth the OEM price of a new clutch - but if I can get one from the junkyard for $50 then I’ll keep rolling.

Apple won’t service the laptop because it’s listed as vintage, but battery replacement on a 2011 MacBook Air is pretty easy to do on your own and the battery only costs $20 on eBay. You could probably find a third party repair shop that would do the repair for a lower cost than Apple ever charged for it while they were willing to service it.

Heck, you could probably find a 2011 MacBook Air that has a new battery for less than the cost of Apple’s own battery service.
I say both all the time, am trusted to handle projects on my own from start to finish, and those projects tend to go very smoothly.

I do also ask questions without hesitation when needed (to the point where it starts to irritate non-developers), but saying "Yes, I understand" or "it's going well" when I do understand and when it is going well is not a red flag.
Could state laws be used to break up these unholy unions or is that federal?
Who else are they going to identify, themselves?
I see this same kind of response quite often when people question the government and its policies and laws. Instead of addressing the questions and concerns — the government, all the ministers and party members, and its supporters — they deflect it and switch to any topic where Pakistan or some “outsider” is questioned or condemned. Until they have the honesty to look people in the eye and address the questions directly, how could anyone expect a democracy to survive?
I'm missing something... how does mailing your vote allow somebody to demand that vote be exposed? If my employer asks me how or if I voted in VA (in-person paper), I tell him to fuck off. If my employer asks me how or if I voted in WA (mail-in paper), I tell him to fuck off.
Yeah I am at meetings often like this because I have trouble paying attention or understanding voice communication - I also always watch films with subtitles, but I think tech wise or problem solving I am decent.
A pill that decreases the risk of cardiac arrest is very different than a pill that is psychoactive. Many people just can't relate to taking a drug that quite literally changes your behavior on a day-to-day basis, even if it has positive effects on your life.

This is something I myself have struggled with. I suffer from anxiety but I can't bring myself to take medication because I like the person I am and I don't want to change my behavior or personality.

No one should be stopping you from taking Ritalin, but each of us is entitled to our own opinion, so the only thing that is irritating is when someone calls out an opinion another holds even if that opinion has no tangible effect on anyone's life.

How is it even a "rival"? Apple does not make server-grade CPUs. Nuvia does not compete with them at all. I hope to dear god Apple fails at this.
> stop letting yourself feel like shit for not being normal

The most important point and deservedly bolded. Looking inward with a negative mindset is guaranteed to yield the worst result if you're dealing with an adversity like ADHD.
