> Tangential, but you contextualization ADHD as the lack of working memory is a light bulb moment for me.

It was for me, too. I've recently been reading about ADHD and people's experience with it. I've always had my suspicions, but never in a serious enough context to make any decisions about it. Reading people's experiences feels like talking to a long lost friend from a parallel universe.

I certainly have had opportunities to get an actual diagnosis, especially during my childhood, but the onus was always placed on me or my parents to take action. My parents were unmotivated by stigma and I was unmotivated by my ADHD symptoms.

So here I am, 28 and trying to motivate my ADHD brain to navigate America's absurd - and unnecessarily confrontational - healthcare system so I can get a diagnosis and medication/therapy.

> I really should go for the long-overdue- prescription meeting I keep avoiding. :\

I can't speak for the experience of people who have been using medication, but as someone who has spent decades without it, I would strongly encourage you to do that.

Good luck getting your ADHD brain to do the follow through!
By this logic we should not use radar for driving in adverse conditions just because it sees more clear than a human driver.
Even if you’re only connected with your acquaintances, the algorithm ensures that many of the posts your connections like or comment on will show up in your newsfeed.

That's the bane of social media platforms where engagement is low (Twitter suffers from this too). There are very few content creators, and especial on a professional network, there isn't enough content generated to share daily, so to generate content, the platform needs to dig deeper into the bottom of the barrel and show you second-level engagement (ie friend of yours commented or liked some rando's content).
I hear people say this, but it's definitely not been my personal experience. I've rented at places where the rates were incredibly reasonable and did not increase. One guy let me rent month-to-month for over a year without ever increasing rent. Is there evidence to suggest that private landlords are mustache twirling villains?
Sure.. I get a kick out of twisting the throttle on my Yamaha a couple times but I totally disagree that it is an essential part of the experience. If you could sell me a completely silent but very powerful motorcycle I would buy it. And even if you are thrilled by the sound, there comes a point (when you put straight pipes on) where it clearly becomes less about whether the rider can hear their own bike and more about whether everyone else can. So As someone who has spend hundreds of thousands of kilometres on a motorcycle I totally agree with grandparent post here, once it gets to that point where you are changing your exhaust to make it louder, it out is mostly about egos and images.
Hah, I always wondered about those and didn't know the name ("Ape Hangers") until now... feels like my arms would lose circulation and muscles would hurt from that position! I assumed I'm just a wimp :P

I see a few posts now that I know what to search for that it "relieves strain on wrists and arms", but honestly, I think standard riding position (city / adventure / touring bikes) has the most natural and relaxed body position overall, as long as you can adjust it to your body size and proportions.
> And still, any deliberate attempt to weaponize a Corona virus would be unlikely and require much more evidence. Certain other pathogens, maybe, but not something that has pandemic potential. It just doesn't make sense.

I'll say first, I'm not a right-wing nut - I'm leftist/socialist and I'm not saying it was a lab leak, but I can see a BIG reason for china to release a pandemic.

China is on the cusp of becoming the #1 super power, a pandemic could distract other nations while it raises even more it's economic power. It seems china has faired pretty damn well over the pandemic. China could care less about fatalities, or even world support. If it cared about world support it wouldn't have UYGHURS in prison camps.

China doesn't want mass casualties (more mass than covid anyhow), if they want world domination they need survivors to rule, so a pandemic virus with the features of covid seems perfect, or maybe it was just a social experiment to see what the world would do during a pandemic.

Pandemic could also weaken local countries they might be eyeing to take over - like Taiwan, even though they handled it pretty well there, but others like India maybe?

Or maybe it was just an accidental leak, but they were still experimenting with it from a "potential weapon" - standpoint. Whether you fire a missile on purpose or accidental there's still repercussions following.

Over the last century, there's been a trend of more jobs in education coming more from public dollars. We now live in a world where those, whose job it is to instruct students and form ideas in their minds, depend on the system to exist for their job to exist. It's no surprise that the product of a system that relies on an ideology should be biased toward that ideology.

As a bicyclist, loud motorcycles are the fscking worst. They're deafening and extremely distracting, which is extra terrible if anything complicated is going on. Which there often is, because people on loud bikes are often driving like fscking idiots, dodging between cars who end up nearly crowding me off the road.
Most chinese citizens would never even have access to the truth about said lie, many more are not educated enough to reason about it, therefore it's a moot point. It'll never happen. China isn't going to have a civil war except in maybe Hong Kong but they'll lose.

Why Google is updating the first-generation Nest Hub to Fuchsia
Yeah German corporations, especially industrial ones, can be really dark and sect-like from the perspective of an outsider. Education, intership, job, housing, insurances, life partner, retirement - everything. An entire life lived for a brand, brand owning a city and owned by a city. How far would one go to defend it as a part of one's identity?
Good. People who are bad at administering computers will stop doing it, and will focus on what they're good at.

Then, we can use the on-demand nature of cloud services to reduce their power consumption. Simultaneously we can move that consumption into renewable-powered datacenters. This is literally better for everyone.

Let’s face it, most corporate jobs are bullshit and we know it. The reality of the balance of work is that in order to justify better than living wages in corporations you need to be good at high-school skills, e.g. cliches (organizational leadership), and looking cool (followership, executive presence).

Meritocracy is unfortunately a myth at a management level. It’s hard to keep the perception of value up when you can’t show face and flex your high school skills.

This is why the 40 hour work week will not die in corporate America at least.
There is no technical solution to this problem. First parties can just lie or use dark patterns to gain permission.
Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were engaged in gain-of-function and serial passage research, but it is also a matter of public record that they were targeting human hosts in collaboration with others, as well.

> Early in 2016, Baric and Shi again collaborated. Shi sent Baric a fresh bat virus spike protein, and Baric inserted it into the backbone of a human SARS virus and then used that infectious clone to attack human airway cells. “The virus readily and efficiently replicated in cultured human airway tissues, suggesting an ability to potentially jump directly to humans,” reported the UNC’s website.

As for why people engage in research that has such enormous downside risks - well, they want grant money and to keep getting paid. I'm sure they think - 'it's ok, I'm careful', just like anyone else engaging in such behavior, even though there's a long history of lab leaks leading to serious problems.
Hilarious commentary from Maddox:

Who hates Bob Dylan songs? Secretly, everyone. Yet nobody is brave enough to admit it because Dylan is weird and rambly, and people feel like it's something they should like. It's a Schrodinger's fan of sorts: a Dylan fan doesn't exist unless a Dylan fan is observed. Once one idiot pipes up at a party, then come the pretenders, all pretending to enjoy his sermons.

The reason people pretend like they like Dylan is because they're afraid of being outed as "uncultured" by folksy-music bullies—the worst kind of bullies. These bullies get irrationally angry when they suspect someone is anything less than an enthusiastic fan of their inoffensive, milquetoast "music."

Rambly. Boring. Call it what you want, but it's not music. It's an old man yammering on about something for a few minutes. Bob Dylan was the world's first podcaster, and we didn't even know it.

I disagree with your disagreement.

Though I also disagree with the article itself, but for one particular reason: I don't think it'll be nearly 10 years to catch up.

I was skittish on the idea of a watch I have to charge (nearly) every day, but it really has improved my life, in fact it's _nearly_ to the point where I don't need a phone.. since I can pay, take calls, respond to messages, play music (though, not browse the web or take photos) without having my phone anywhere near me.. I've trialled entire days with no phone and it's worked pretty well honestly.

There's nothing coming close to this anywhere else.

But, I think people catch up easier than they lead.

A decade lead is absolutely unthinkable- if google/samsung wants to do wearables seriously I think it'll be 2 years at most -- especially as they're almost certainly working on it already, and they can use the product that's already on the market as a meter to measure against for anything they're building.

I am turning down the dial on tech stuff outside working hours.

This is because in the future I want to go back to university and don't want to have to spend time managing a number of machines in my own infrastructure at home.

I'm mostly keeping one machine for core services (nextcloud, mail, web). Maybe another one for very light testing.

Then I'm exploring new hobbies, like homebrewing (brewing stuff like beer and mead at home) and in that context I like to watch homebrewing videos on YouTube.

Tech gets a new light when you start to explore non-tech hobbies. So stuff like homebrewing, balcony gardening, amateur weather forecasting, baking, chess, board games, card games (turns out Bridge is quite a complex game), stuff like that. And of course exploring communities around such themes.

Hope this helps!

The difficulties they had around pole attachment meant that shallow trenching was a last ditch (no pun intended) effort. If you attach to a pole in many jurisdictions you are at the mercy of foot-dragging by everyone else on the pole to make way. Google tried to change the rules but ran into significant and expensive opposition from those who were well entrenched (again, pun not intended.)

It is not directly "a conspiracy" but it is the result of a conscious approach of getting people in educational institutions who are willing to be activists for ideologically "left-wing" causes. This has exploded in the last few years with more and more institutions taking up critical theory as a guideline for their curriculum, leading to demands for "diversity, equity and inclusion" in more and more fields.

If you disagree I'd like you to explain where I am wrong instead of just downvoting this post. Explain it in clear terms, using words which were in use in the 90's, which can be looked up paper copies of dictionaries from that time. This seemingly strange request stems from the recent trend for dictionaries to change the definition of terms to fit a narrative, Merriam-Webster being one of the examples of a dictionary guilty of this transgression.

Do LinkedIn influencers get hired more than the rest of us? The article seems to make that assumption. But if recruiters and hiring managers don’t like this influencer content either, maybe none of this matters and we can all just relax and ignore the LinkedIn newsfeed.
Thanks for the emacs pointer. Interesting. It screams of continuations.

I know how to do snapshots of a process, what with criu. But if I just want a checkpoint to go back later, not a full serialization, and I don't want to save/restore a complete process, but take advantage of fork()'s CoW to save the least possible in a stopped process, then be able to come back. The rest of fork()' semantics are a problem, with threads, sockets, signals that are not passed down. An example of that approach is perf-fuzz where they add a new syscall to make fuzzing faster.

If you can’t find a way to sit in front of the AC and listen to the radio without clogging roads, burning fossil fuels at a double or triple rate, and impeding your visibility so much that you regularly endanger the life of your neighbors, maybe it’s time to find a new mode of relaxation.

The USA is one of the few countries where motorcycles are uncommon and seen as a surprising choice, probably due to our laughably simple drivers test that doesn’t even require knowledge of how to drive a manual. Motorcycles burn less gas, cause far less traffic, and cause far less damage to others when accidents occur. The single reason why motorcycling is dangerous is because of 4-wheel drivers, who constantly:

* Change lanes/cut you off without signaling
* Slam on their brakes without signaling
* Try to merge into your lane when they are next to you
* Read their phones and do all of these things

When I say constantly, I mean (in my city) every block or two of riding. Motorcycling is an exercise in constant scanning for the next person who is going to intentionally or unintentionally try to kill you, and having a loud exhaust is a way to quickly get them to realize they’re about to do so. It’s hard to see car drivers constantly put us in danger by (illegally) not paying attention for their own comfort, and then insinuate that it’s the motorcycle riders who are the problem.

One last note - I think most HNers are talking about loud sport bike exhausts like Yoshimura here, not Harley exhausts that sound like thunder every time you let off the clutch. These exhausts are normally at an acceptable, sociable noise level but can get much louder when you rev high, which is nice for blipping the throttle to get the guy next to you scrolling Spotify to look up before he sideswipes you.

So, even though I’m recovering from the multiple fractures I received after going over my handlebars, to avoid hitting a car that turned left in front of me in an intersection, who may never have seen me at all, I think I’ll stick with my mode of transportation. And you can stick with yours, and turn the radio up if you find the noise of motors on a motorway that unacceptable. I certainly do think a lot of riders take it too far, or just do it for attention. But I don’t think it’s fair to blame them in general for doing anything they can to counteract the lack of care and attention paid by people in cars.
I enjoyed the story behind the bike. I found it engaging and I feel like the photos enhanced the story. As I read through it I was pretty impressed that an article like this, maybe first composed in Japanese, had such a smooth translation into English. I wondered whether it began as an English audience article.

I was amused to find in one of the pictures a misspelled word. I didn't laugh but I did crack a smile. The trash can/ recycle bin in the cartoon encourages the viewer to "Picth In".

Cool bike, great story. I hope they iron out the issues that they find and this bike makes it onto streets everywhere.

I love how the Japanese people in the video linked on one post seem so accustomed to seeing cool stuff like this. I wish the guys at Yamaha all the success.
Not sure I agree with the exhaust, but the weaving seems to help a LOT.

A lot of philosophical work has been done explicitly against Cartesian Dualism. Wittgenstein's, extremely influential, "Philosophical Investigations" is probably the biggest example. The entire book is dedicated to dissolving the problem posed by dualism, and presents a conceptual approach that makes the "hard" problem of consciousness, or the problem of understanding someones feelings, effectively not really a problem at all. Much of the problem is more a result of conceptual confusion than anything else. The [Private Language Argument](https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/private-language) is probably the most famous. Its result can also be extended to pain, feelings, and vision. Fundamentally private subjectivity is largely a misconception. It's like trying to use a currency that has no purchasing power. Insistence on subjectivity and subjective experience is more productively understood as "personal" rather than as "private".
You are right and it is a useful thing to know.

Yes, there is declarative, procedural and episodic memory, and they are stored in different ways.

If you take away the hippocampus (if I'm not mistaken), you can still form procedural memories but not episodic memories. There was a relatively famous case of that happening.
Sure. Wages are just one cost component. An example restaurant spends 32% of revenue on staff, 32% on food, 32% on overhead. The owner takes a 4% profit. Industry wages inflate by N%. There's not a one to one relationship between wages for dishwashers and hosts and the menu prices. The owner is free to make their own trade offs between holding the line on wage increases, passing through the cost, automating/reducing labor intensity, taking less profit, trying to negotiate no price increase from their vendors, etc.

(If not outside, you can try chatting inside. But public meeting places inside are almost all noisy too: if not crowded enough to be noisy, most will add music or TV to compensate.)
