*1) Massively increased libido. The stimulants can increase sex drive, but can also make orgasm more difficult while also sometimes making it more difficult to maintain an erection. While these last two can be frustrating on a personal level, the hyper sexuality can be quite destructive when not kept in check.*

I had this on Adderall, I was switched to Desoxyn and had no issue with it. On Adderall even medicine like Viagra would not improve the side effects. That was a show stopper for me, and really frustrating that it actually increased drive.

*2) The hyper focus aspects of ADHD are now basically on all the time. Medication is less a guided missile and more a laser. Instead of taking it and 'magically' getting things done, your attention is now dialed into whatever you point it at. This can be extremely productive, or not. I have less 'lost days' than I did before seeking treatment but those days now have a greater intensity.*
I would agree with this description for me as well, though I can choose where the focus goes and I can choose when to disengage. To me it had been a net plus.

*3) It can be easy to get into stimulant fueled cycles of self-destruction. I need to be very disciplined about getting enough food and sleep. The drugs make it easy to shrug off a night or two of little sleep. But using drugs to ignore my body leads to much worse ADHD symptoms then if I hadn't been taking the drugs at all.*

Agreed 100%, it is easy to fall into a cycle of well I can take my second dose later and squeeze some more hours out of the night. As far as food, that is the one really bad side effect of Desoxyn, Adderall suppressed my appetite, Desoxyn completely eliminated it, I can go days without eating and never have the urge to if I do not monitor it. At first I did not care because I was about 60lbs overweight, I am now slim could loose 10 more and be fit, but I am certainly not overweight anymore. I view this as a net positive given the long term ability to manage my weight, but now I stay on top of it.

*4) There is a distinct difference in my personality on days when I take my drugs and days I do not; see Good Changes, point (1). This can be hard for other people, especially romantic partners, to deal with.*

This is the one I hear from people but, the only thing my wife has said about me, is when my first dose kicks in, my feet hit the floor and I am going. I used to take an hour to get ready in the morning, I would do one thing, sit down, do another sit down. It took an hour to feel like I was just slightly awake.

The startup costs are high, but once you're in the flow of doing it, it's not so bad.

I usually have a switch in our tests: default is to run against local mocks, but the test data also works against the third party sandbox environment. Periodically we revalidate our mocks against the sandbox responses to make sure the other API hasn't drifted.

CI always runs against local mocks, for speed and reliability.
Who could possibly even know for sure. But I think my point stands, as Vietnam has the 2nd or 3rd largest fishing fleet in the world right now, and for a few decades the Soviet Union was the 3rd largest. Pursuit of profit isn't the only reason for the tragedy of the fisheries held in common.

> Saving money is investing it, which funds innovations and investments. That could be via stocks, bonds, bank deposits (which get loaned out), etc.

I'm not an economist, but I think the Fed distinguishes between these activities: "saving" means holding money in accounts that are subject to the FDIC's reserve requirements, which in turn means that banks can't use (all of) that money for investments. "Investing" means circulating money in instruments that aren't generally subject to reserve or similar requirements, meaning that it's supplying liquidity to the larger market.

I agree with your broader point about consumption (we really need to correct our infinite-growth mindset), but an economy that encourages excessive savings is about as bad long-term as one that encourages people to shove all of their money into the market.

People forget these kinds of reports go back to the U2 spy plane in the 1950’s.

Further back than that, even. AFAIK, the earliest "UFO" reports by military pilots were the so called "foo fighters"[1] which were reported during WWII.

Growth Stocks are not priced based on current profits, but future growth and profits. When I bought GOOG in 2005, the consensus was that GOOG was overpriced because they didn't have a lot of revenue. When I bought TSLA in 2014 the consensus was that another automaker would beat them or buy them before they were very profitable. In 2024 when TSLA is at $1500 and people are saying that it is overpriced because it only makes 5 million cars a year, I'll still be explaining this same principal.
> I don't condone lying, but if you have access to inside information why can't you use it?

short answer: the SEC says so.

> If I find security bugs in some company's git repo is that insider info? The code was public.

This is OK! If the code is public, then nothing you learn from it is non-public information.

> If I overhear company X employees talking trash on a public hiking trail near their office is that insider info?

This is trickier. It all boils down to whether you knew the people talking were insiders. Likely some other factors here I'm ignorant of, but to sum up... "it's complicated".
Which begs the question, why have kids at that point? They're human beings, not instinct driven pets.
> The big tech firms have also done things occasionally which are clearly anticompetitive. Google and Facebook had a (recently revealed) secret anticompetitive agreement about bidding on ads, for example. That was a clear antitrust violation. Likely Google’s payment to Apple to remain the default search engine on iOS is at least questionable.

Why occasionally? The vast majority of their products at the very least seem like textbook cases of predatory pricing to this layman. Throw in all the other anticompetitive stuff and big tech starts to look like the Uber/Airbnb of the rule of law.

> If you can make friends with people who have insider info, you should be rewarded with your networking prowess.

Why? How does rewarding people for this serve any useful social or economic purpose?
Depends on the distance.

I'm in in the Portland, OR area. I would absolutely drive to Seattle (~180 miles) or San Francisco (~630 miles). LA (~1,000 miles) is the limit for how far I'm willing to drive.

But when I take a trip to theme parks on the east side of the country (Cedar Point, King's Island, and Holiday World were my last destinations), that's over 2,000 miles. That's 3 days of driving at a reasonable pace. I'm definitely flying that one.
FWIW, Mozilla VPN is based off Mullvad, which I've enjoyed for a year to download Linux ISOs and I've never had an issue with. Also they have one of the most anonymous of setups (accept cash, crypto, no username or passwords or personal details required, you're just given a random account number you can add credit to)

NordVPN is oversubscribed crap.

PIA was founded by Andrew Lee, the big brain behind the current Freenode drama, with help of the infamous Mark Karpeles of Mt. Gox fame. I'd rather use something else.

> TIn a simple scenario, every edit you make to a document is recorded individually and hashed with the hash of the previous edit. This forms the chain.

You've just described a degenerate Merkle tree.

> The chain itself can be stored anywhere.

Then it's not a blockchain. A blockchain involves combining a Merkle tree with a distributed, trustless consensus algorithm.

Otherwise Git would be described as a blockchain and I don't think anyone refers to it that way. At least, not with a straight face.
Your other comments show that you don't understand three concepts when it comes to insider: 1) who an insider is 2) what information is privileged and 3) why is it bad.

1) Many jurisdictions have specific people (officers and major owners) designated. The US is fairly unique in that an insider is someone who trade on material non-public information that violates trust. This is what allows for these friends of low level marketing/accounting people to be charged. Overhearing something doesn't put you in a position of trust. Being sent an email accidentally and being notified that you can't trade on it is something else.

2) Material non-public information means information that has not been publicized and that will definitely impact the price of the stock. People "trash talking" their coworkers is not material because you have no way of knowing if that is their sentiment or if the company is actually falling apart. Someone saying "We are getting rid of our entire engineering department because I don't like them. Look here is all the legal paperwork." is something completely different.

3) Insider trading is bad because it erodes the trust of outside investors. As an outsider, you want the confidence that insiders aren't going to get the better end of the deal always. That in the event of something bad happening, the insiders don't get to bail first. Without outside investors, there is no stock market.
You're totally right, I always mistake one for the other :)

Inflation is absolutely a "bad" thing in the same way that gaining weight from eating ice cream is "bad". It is the consequence of indulgence. An increase in the cost of living is generally never a "good" thing.

The question is if it is controlled and the tradeoffs worthwhile.

It’s a conversation being had by parents all the time. The mistake is to think that not letting the kids do things doesn’t have an effect.

justice.gov and sec.gov are not just-the-facts style sites. They are meant to inform the public as well as vilify wrong-doers. Part of making sure their stories are picked up widely, is including those types of details to make the story more "interesting" to the masses.
Well they don’t have absolutely nothing. We know how much it costs to get mass into orbit, we know the launch cadence we’re capable of, we know how long it takes to build huge vessels like nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers, we have realistic proposals for propulsion techniques that could get us to our nearest neighbour. You could make limited extrapolations from these points to figure out how much it would cost and how long it would take to build a colony ship. That would tell you a bit about the conditions necessary to begin colonizing the galaxy and you’d be able to tell if those conditions were likely to occur in the near future. We know how long it took to colonize the Americas so you could adjust that data. That should give you both the rate at which you can create colony ships and how long it takes for a colony to reach the point that it can begin building them.
You won't because Wikileaks refused to release them. Their stated justification for this was, so much bad stuff had already been revealed about Trump that there was no need. Reallly.
>> For some reason, they’d rather flail around or ask a real human (often me) for help,

When I was briefly in sales before becoming a developer, I had a co-worker who, for the life of her, could not remember how to do a soft-line break in MS Word. She literally would ask me at least once a day. I finally just printed the keystroke (shift + return) on a sheet of paper and when she would peer over the cube, I'd just hold it up and she'd sit down again.

Even in our sales group, the majority knew to use Google to get answers to all kinds of technical questions. But you're right, there's still a big group of people who are unaware or too lazy to go there first.
‘Hard science’ is just a title people have been using to distinguish physical sciences from social sciences. Don’t get too hung up on worrying what ‘hard’ means or thinking that it is some kind of difficulty or value judgement; it’s not. It may have been at some point, but today it’s just a category and nothing more. This WP entry is much more clear than the above one, IMO: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_science
It’s well known in the wedding photography world that raising your prices might actually net you more customers - to an extent, anyways.
Those two things could be simultaneously true.

Are they?
Agreed. The layperson for the most person does not know how to search effectively. Even among my developer friends today who are competent, if they can't find something, they come to me. I have a knack for finding things that are difficult to find - going back all the way to when AltaVista was the best search engine around - I can't really explain it.

My parents, in-laws, etc... they all say on a pretty regular basis that they have trouble finding what they're searching for. Google tries really hard to return relevant results (which actually annoys me because I really, really, really want it to search for exactly what I typed - by default.)
I think your claim that "calculus was a university requirement" doesn't align with what I'm reading in their degree requirements, which is "MA and CS: Mathematical Studies (combined six credit hours)"

> This core area has two categories. Mathematics (MA) is the acquisition of essential skills in basic mathematics. Computer/statistics/quantitative applications (CS) applies mathematical reasoning and requires students to complete a course in either the use of statistics and quantitative analysis or the use of a computer to assist in serious analytical math work.

> This requirement has two parts: At least three credit hours must be selected from courses designated MA and at least three credit hours must be selected from courses designated CS, and all students are expected to fulfill the MA requirement by the time they accumulate 30 credit hours in residence at ASU.

Sounds like you could take calculus to satisfy the Math requirement, but you could decide to do other Maths instead?

No, inflation is more like the weight gain of a child growing to an adult. The metaphor breaks down at adulthood.

Inflation is only an increase in nominal, not real cost. If I give you a dollar more and charge you a dollar extra, then you haven't lost any purchasing power.
really great usage of Gladwellian here
Former auditor here.

An attestation offers considerably less assurance than an audit.

An audit is the most comprehensive type of assurance. Often called positive assurance. A clean audit opinion means the auditor collected sufficient and appropriate evidence to form an opinion on the financial statements (or reserves in tether/usdc case).

On the other hand, an attestation or review is a form of negative assurance where auditors state that nothing has come to their attention to indicate that subject matters or financial statements contain a material misstatement. In this type of assurance, auditors do not give an opinion; they simply say that financial statements look "reasonable".

Unlike positive assurance, auditors are not required to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to form an opinion. Instead, they only need to review if there are any problems with financial statements or subject matters.
> What a CoC does is give clear expectations for everyone in the community.

That's my whole point; that CoCs might be a necessary step for social changes that quite many people don't understand and/or master yet (e.g. custom pronouns) is understandable. But apologize after you hurt someone is something I (and, I assume, most people) was taught when I was 4 y.o. and should be widely applied. What will be next, a little panel reminding you to say "hello" and "goodbye" when you come in and leave, or "don't forget to say thank you" next to the cashier?
