>The original ONE is still supported

After announcing the Sonos ONE with heaps of fanfare they introduced a 2nd Gen revision only 16 months later and said that in the future only the 2nd Gen ONE would receive new features. Considering past Sonos products had been sold with the same hardware for multiple years updating after such a short time signaled a move to planned hardware obsolescence and quicker upgrade cycles confirmed by their latest moves. As someone who rushed out and bought a 1st Gen ONE this had already soured me before they crippled all my Play 5s.
They could charge you a monthly fee to keep you up to date on discoveries in this field relating to your personal DNA? (not sure how often this actually happens....)
That sounds like the G-suite on Android.
So you think the majority-Republican Senate might actually convict?
1) Regarding the gov't taking down servers publishing hashes it doesn't like, yes that's exactly what I said they'd have to do, if you go back and re-read my prior post. Glad you agree. But like BitTorrent or Bitcoin, they'd have to basically shut off the whole internet to disable it. Not gonna happen.

2) Regarding chunking in IPFS, the fact that files are chunked actually increases the burden on any authority attempting to implement a blacklist of hashes, and so that's in agreement with my points.

Also if someone truly wants to fight censorship you'd just symmetric encrypt the data using a publicly available key so that it DOES change all hashes of ALL chunks every time you encrypt with a different key.

And encrypting the same data under many different keys (creating different copies of whole file, is also my proposed solution to the problem of "Proof of Replication" in the IPFS system.)
This probably isn't what you're after, but interestingly there is a Google-developed Python dialect that can be embedded in a Go program, to facilitate runtime scriptability and programmable config files:

It seems to be used by the Delve debugger for example:

Lots of layoffs happening recently: 23andme, stubhub, tripadvisor etc. Early indicators of a tech bubble?
I have a lot more questions about the map: that's just the start of my picking at its legitimacy.

There are areas of grey (less than 2 people/sqkm) around the coasts everywhere. A processing artifact, or some indication of low water marks? I don't think the tidal area can ever be 20 km wide, but it's very sloppy if it's just bad drawing. (There's already a cyan outline for the coast! Why add grey areas too?)

Then I'm certain there are areas in Wicklow, Ireland with less than 2 residents/sqkm [0]. But the whole area is shown not one but 4 levels more populated, at 100+ residents/sqkm, comparable to Las Vegas and ahead of Buenos Aires which is shown at 41-100 residents/sqkm.

The resolution of the map appears to be at the 10km level, but I think this is misleading and in most of the world it's actually based on data at the country level or one level below.

One of the most surprising things to me about the map before I looked closely was the lack of wilderness in Turkey. If it's that dense all the way through, it should be a massive power. But aren't there mountains and deserts? Probably just the map being lazy again.

>No, it does not apply to previously taxed assets at all, only to an additional income you made from those assets.

I would call that applying to previously taxed assets. Unvested RSUs (read: not taxed yet) that gain considerably over many years prior to vesting are still wholly taxed as regular income. Without additional income, there is nothing to be taxed therefore there shouldn't be any confusion as to what I mean by that.

Stock options are only one type of equity grants, the other being RSUs which have a cost basis of $0 and therefore the entire sum is subject to income taxes at vesting. Exercising stock options is not free, you must pay to do so at the exercise price which is done using post-tax cash, which again, had to have been taxed as regular income at some point.
Quora Laying Off Employees
Huh, TIL the packet isn't normal. Growing up here, it seemed obvious.
There are non-stimulant treatments, but they're not as effective. The increase in dopamine is what helps the ADHD brain work more closely to "normal", and stimulants are great at releasing dopamine.

That said, stimulants at doses that affect ADHD don't necessarily to come with other physical side effects.
It looks like they missed out Security! That's unlike Mozilla ;)
There are many industries based around one time purchases. That doesn't make them immune to booms and busts.

23AndMe saw tremendous growth, both according to the article and my anecdotal experience, but that doesn't mean that the burst they saw was sustainable. It's looking, at least right now, like it's not.
Commercial TVs used in airports and museums often have device bays that can interact with at least power and HDMI, sometimes much more. The problem is they are quite expensive. Partly due to fewer being sold, but also engineering the modular bus, fancy connectors, etc. Some of the plug-in boards are as expensive as a whole consumer TV. Part of what we get now is simply the result of our desire to buy a massive 60 inch screen for under a grand, a 95% price reduction in less than 20 years.
I'm not on the west coast but was just reading an article a out the entry level salaries for software engineers at top tech companies in the Bay area. Many are really close to the numbers you used in your example, so it's well within the reach of these people if they are DINKs before they are in their 30s.

So to make a dent in the market price you need to have more supplies than there are tech folks. That's a lot.
I've written quite a few Java Swing applications during the years after graduating and getting my MSc (approximately 3 years).

There's always a standard procedure to get a Swing main window running. IIRC you get the window, the canvas (layout?), layout manager then, you create and push your elements into the layout, fiddle with them, and lastly, set your window visible.

You can flex the process between getting the window and starting to push your elements into the layout. You can make Java implicitly create the missing parts without connecting to a variable.

If you do that, everything works as expected but, with a slight performance penalty. Everything will be ever slightly laggy. On the other hand, if you do everything by book, things run smoother. I experienced this with the apps I've written.

Some people believed me, some people don't. Some believed me after I showed the situation to them. This effect diminished in AMD64 era, and became unnoticeable after Intel Core series processors came to existence.

It was Java 6 times, so I'm not sure whether it's applicable.

That's the little lesson I've learned during developing with Java: Pay attention, do once, do right.
I don’t believe that’s correct?

At least from the screenshots of emails I read, it stated that old devices won’t get software updates, but will continue to work. Additionally, any newer devices will not get software updates _while they’re on the same Sonos network as the old one_, because they all have to run the same version.

Edit: here’s what I read https://mobile.twitter.com/seanbonner/status/121976046002876.... It very plainly states the devices will continue operating but none of your connected devices will be updated while you’re using old ones.
I also offered his work to HP - who turned it down.
Yeah, this is a tricky one for sure.

It is gonna sound cheesy, but what got me into my current mindset regarding it was a quote from the recent Elton John biopic. When Elton was struggling with the identity crisis and trying to articulate the mismatch of who he was vs. where he saw himself being in the future, one of the characters told him "You got to kill the person you were born to be in order to become the person you want to be".

For myself personally, I concluded that we are simply who we are at any given moment. There is no "real me", there is only "me" at a point of time (given that I act genuinely, of course). If I act differently after drinking alcohol? That is still me. If I undersleep and act cranky for the rest of the day? That is still me. If taking the meds is what it takes to kill off the parts of me that I was born with that impede the current me, then so be it.

I realize that it is a really reductionist mindset not comprehensively describing the reality, but it helps me to come to terms with myself and somewhat describes the situation as I perceive it.
That's a little bit much don't you think? Please do be kind, that is another human you are responding to.
Just wait till they gamify electronic voting -

Not my experience at all. Took Vyvanse and Dex for a few years. Able to stay at the therapeutic dose, had no temptation to exceed it. 10-15 mg equivalent of Dex changes my day, and will do so month after month after month. Under psychiatric supervision I did go as high as 40 mg, but that was too much. Side effects are not great, makes me jittery, elevates my heart rate, but the mental benefits are amazing. The stuff completely calms me down. (I have ADHD, for real.)

I have been on and off stimulants many times, short, medium and long intervals. The worst that happens is when I go off I've got no energy at all for 3 days.

When I would restart stimulants I would get the euphoric effect for a time, and then it would fade away over a few weeks. I have never been tempted to chase it.

Everyone's mileage is different.
you're responding to the wrong person in this conversation.
I bought them so I could put speakers anywhere I wanted to and not have to run audio cable to them. Also, I don’t want a stack of audio equipment taking up space.

Where I could run wires I used the Sonos amp and traditional speakers for the reason you have described.
You're looking at it backwards. Democracy draws its power from the "consent of the governed", not from the complacency of the subjects. Remember the whole "taxation without representation" thing back when this democracy thing was getting started? Government is a tool of the people, and if the people chose to not engage in the process, the government has no legitimate claim by which it can act on the people's behalf.

The government doesn't ask for your consent, it assumes it, and the only method by which you can directly withhold consent is to refuse to participate in their political process. Low voter turnout is an indicator of an illegitimate government, which no longer has the consent of the people to continue governing them (At least in a democracy).

*Edit: If people chose to not vote (or engage in other political actions) the question should be "do we need this part of the government" not "how do we get more people to vote in this part of the government"
I get more than a little annoyed with the advertising-like tone in this and several other articles around this general class of method/trick for speeding up complex simulations.

It's not that it's not a useful method (it is). It's that it misrepresents the utility of the general "build an exact simulation, then train a regressor on it to make fast approximations" approach. It's very useful in certain situations (repeated calculations on similar parameters) and completely useless in others.

The key issue is that most of the slow models you'd want to use this on are highly non-linear. In certain regions of the parameter space, very small changes in input result in very large changes in output. This is fine, so long as you know where all of these regions are and can capture them in your training data. That's easier for some problems than others. Even assuming you do know how/where to collect dense training data, this approach is only useful within the bounds of the training data you collect. It's relatively uncommon (but not super rare) that you want to repeatedly run a complex simulation within the same parameter space. This method is great when you do want/need to do that, and useless otherwise.

You have to understand that what you've trained is little more than a look up table. Anything that claims it can actually learn highly non-linear and irregular behavior well outside of the training dataset's bounds is snake oil.

Understand where this general class of technique is useful and where it isn't and ignore overblown claims. The entire abstract here is overblown hogwash. The actual paper is relatively interesting, but I really wish folks would drop the absurd advertising language and focus on what distinguishes this from the hundreds of very similar studies/methods on this topic.
> I feel like 23&me is literally only useful/interesting to white people because they can see which one of the 50 European countries they have ties to.

I'm not familiar with the kinds of ancestry information they can provide, but why would that only apply to white people? Why not also, say, people with African heritage and which of the African countries they have ties to?
Great news ! I'm sure they still have that great debugger I remember getting satisfaction from circa 2008.
Even accounts could be a reasonable separation.

I like it as a camouflage color... I painted my kids' tree house a very similar color and it made it much less visible with all the trees in the background.
When you put it that way, yes I can see that the original phrasing is correct. Like you, I am used to the opposite phrasing.
Price: 10k$ per user. Fair enough if we’re billing the army for an app with a huge bug bounty.
What if you want a more scalable solution that doesn't require any competency? Like if you add a new story to your house? Sonos could fill that with Britney Spears just loud enough to hear over the vacuum.
Whats the alternative if you want a multi room system that can stream Apple Music?
tl;dr (but do read rest of comment!): give up social media, porn, and TV (including Netflix) for a couple of months. Take up some form of exercise (lifting, running, even pilates or something), and re-evaluate your attention span.

---

Not to be offensive to those diagnosed with ADHD or something related, but there is absolutely too much ADHD going around at the moment for it to be a coincidence.

My wife is a teacher, and the number of kids "diagnosed" with ADHD is insane. What do they do with their time instead of homework or listening in class? Playing video games for hours on end, browsing social media, sending Snaps, creating Tik Tok videos, watching porn, watching Netflix, and so on ...

See a pattern here? Sure, it is probably an old trope at this point, but the entertainment modern society has given us has drastically lowered our attention spans. Those of us in our mid to late 20s are on the border. We didn't grow up with social media, but we're young enough to have started using it fairly early (but not early enough - usually - for it to effect us /too/ badly, though those using it too much have suffered from it). Those a bit younger (high school age, freshman age) are absolutely suffering from it, and God knows how badly the primary and middle schoolers will suffer.

In this article, the OP talks about what they do instead of study most of the time: lay in bed and browse Twitter and Reddit. Sorry but - and not to sound trite - but that there is a huge problem. It is not a symptom, it is a problem (not the problem, but it contributes) in and of itself. Cut it out.

Unfortunately, I find myself sucked back into social media after giving it up for any length of time, whether by friends, family, a new venture that needs a Facebook page, whatever. But when I do give it up (and I mean all of it: Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, HN, the lot) I am the most productive I have ever been. I get things done. It's not a magic cure, and it must be combined with other stuff (exercise, reading, meditation), but honestly, our lazy modern lives are the cause of most "ADHD" and nothing else.
Sorry for not being clearer.

I think the author intended "now" to be vague and dependent on context, and that the flexibility of such terms is part of what gives proverbs longevity. It's assumed the reader can infer the general meaning and adapt it to their situation. Plus it's poetic and succinct which makes it easier to remember.

Consider the list of proverbs on this page from Aesop's Fables:
http://aesop.magde.info/

Arguing about whether the unknown ancient author should have said "when optimal" rather than "now" does not improve the ability of the reader to understand the underlying meaning -- that if something should have been started long ago, urgency is appropriate and dwelling on the past is counterproductive.
US CAFE standards are well-known to have resulted in the switch from station wagons to minivans and SUVs, resulting in a great overall increase in emissions than what would have otherwise occurred.

The new (2020/2021) European regulations allow approximately 1 g/km of extra CO2 emissions per kg of extra curb weight for passenger cars. [1]

It's actually less emissions per unit mass, so I was wrong on that fact, but the point of perverse incentives to make cars bigger to be allowed more emissions still stands (I think?)

Also, diesel vehicles are basically banned in most places unless they're coal-rollers - even though they have way less CO2 emissions than their gasoline counterparts.

In my opinion, if the North American and European governments had truly wanted to reduce absolute levels of emissions, instead of just following existing technology and trying to take the credit for it (like they do for NOx emissions, and probably will for electric cars), and making complex rules that favour certain manufacturers at the expense of others, then they'd have just have made a Kei car category.

Medicine, as a science, is expected to fix the human body while it's running without taking it apart. Unlike other fields, modern psychiatry is still mostly clinical. Of course, it is deeply flawed, but it is our best shot nevertheless. And, unlike the one doctor that told you otherwise, there's widespread consensus in the medical community that ADHD is very much a thing. I'd rather believe in them.
I just finished David Epstein's 'Range' last night, and one of his admonitions in the conclusion seemed pertinent:

> "Don't feel behind. ...Compare yourself to yourself yesterday, not to younger people who aren't you. Everyone progresses at a different rate, so don't let anyone else [including you] make you feel behind. You probably don't even know where exactly you're going, so feeling behind doesn't help."

He also notes a number of athletes and musicians who started "late", including Steve Nash and Sviatoslav Richter.

No one has ADHD. It's an invented problem created for a drug that didn't work out in the 80s.

Your treatment is placebo effect.

You are the same person you've always been. Just fine. Struggling with being human and having a hard time getting things done. Just like everyone else.

We all share that, and we all deal with it in different ways. Good for you for finding something that sometimes works.
I wasn't ever a heavy Quora user, but once their webpages got weird when coming from a Google Search, I think I started ignoring it. A lot of the types of searches that would bring up Quora results I was able to find on reddit by adding "reddit" to my query, without the soft paywalls.
That's not really true, though.

It's true that if I buy some stocks for $100k I have (presumably) already paid taxes on that $100k. But if I sell the stock for $600k two years later, that extra $500k hasn't been taxed as income, and is only taxed as a capital gain.

> Capital gains taxes apply to both the rich and the poor, with the latter paying a whopping 0%.

Kind of silly to point that out. It's very easy for a "rich" person to have almost all of of their real income come from capital gains, but nearly impossible for many poor people to even have capital gains, much less arrange for it to be most of their income.
I don't think it's too much at all, the persons argument boils down to "because you can't meet everyone, you don't really have free will to change who you interact with", and if they REALLY believe that, the world is hopeless and they may as well just stop trying.
I think this comment was a response to the implication that ADHD people won't be able to read long form content without hyperfocusing from your gp comment.

"Long form" is at least partly a function of reading speed.
I was also diagnosed recently and have moved to taking medication; however, that really only lowers the resitence for me to doing the "right" thing. I still heavily rely on the mental tools that I've learned with my psych. Even before I started medication, those tools were incredibly helpful. Parts of it was just sitting and deconstructing some of what I think and how I act and try to find ways to insert reminders into life. Also, just having a diagnosis helped me personally accept that things like breaks and timers and things that other people don't need to get work done aren't something silly, but very useful devices to help me focus on the things I want to be, not just things that strike my fancy.

I would highly recommend see a doctor if the only thing holding you back is not wanting to do medicine. Mine was supportive and left the decision up to me. I went for around a year before starting and once I started I could def feel the difference -- it's not huge, but it's...a gentle nudge? If you find a doctor who isn't supportive of not using meds, find another doctor. It can be a bit like dating, where if something isn't working or priorities aren't aligned, then you move on.

Best of luck!

I don't get your point. So you think the ability to teach a child what color is "red" and what color is "blue", gives you the background to make blanket statements about science education and jobs?

I know some people going on a Disney trip soon. The cost and regimentation was staggering to me when described. You have to schedule everything. And it is all expensive as heck.

I'd rather spend that money on flying to Europe or somewhere else.

I live with schedules every day at work. I go on vacation to get away from schedules...

My favorite thing to do is to just go to a forest preserve or other park and just walk around looking at the trees and the clouds.

Can't say enough good things about Magit, it is astounding how much better it is than other version control software built into IDEs. Magit feels like it expands what I can do with git, rather than other IDEs dramatically limit what git can do.

For instance interactive rebaseing is so much better in Magit.
