If it takes a decade to build up tolerance and a month to completely get rid of it then sustainability seems clear, no? The problem isn't physical dependence but mental dependence, ADHD forces you to become super strict with yourself to get anything done at all, medication makes you lazy since you just pop a pill and get things done, if you stop trying after getting the pills you will start having problems again just like normal people, but if you keep working as hard as before you took the pills then their effects doesn't go away.

> did you ever think about changing your name and appearance?

I've actually never gone by my full name as an adult in anything other than formal documents. It never had anything to do with my history as much as it has been a strained relationship with my father whom I don't want to give any (potential) accolades to. Regarding appearance: I don't have the genetics.

I thought about restarting a few times, but I always decided that uprooting myself from my friends and my mom would become an unnecessary hurdle. The mind needs people as much as the body needs food.

As I am today, I'm not so worried about my past. Would I have said this a few years ago? No, absolutely not. But I've since moved on, and those days are far behind me. I don't plan on committing any embarrassing crimes in the immediate future, and I don't have any skeletons in my closet. It's a good feeling.
Such a good magazine, I (finally) threw a bunch of them out when I moved house maybe 10 years ago… I should have least kept the issue that introduced Johnny Knoxville to the world - who knew it would go so far!
This. It is so obviously in-your-face true that I laugh out loud whenever somebody claim that they are “self-made” and owe nothing to the people and society who raised them, protected them, fed them etc. until they finally “made it”.
Yes, Yeti coolers are generally the most expensive coolers. But if that was the only reason for their high price point, we would see alternative rotomolded coolers of similar quality that are significantly cheaper, not just the 10-33% we tend to see in the market.

Yeti 45: $300

Engel 45: $275

RTIC 45: $200

Sure, $300 is quite a bit more expensive than $200, but they're also not the same:

- Yet 3 years vs RTIC 1 year warranty

- Yeti performs better

- Yeti has better design (form & function)

- You can pick up a Yeti at your local REI vs RTIC is only available DTC

- Yeti is a household, lifestyle brand, that's done the work to create this market (alternatives would most likely not exist without Yeti doing this work)

The difference between a Rolex and another watch that has the same capability is a couple orders of magnitude apart in price. $200 vs $300 on a cooler isn't that big of a difference.
Yep. There's usually 3 goals of any criminal justice system:

- Punishment (criminals should be made to suffer)

- Deterrence (we want to discourage crime in society)

- Rehabilitation (Criminals are also citizens. Ideally they can become a contributing member of society, instead of wasting away in prison as a burden on everyone)

Any intervention should be assessed based on these criteria. For example, increasing prison sentences might be beneficial for punishment, have no impact on deterrence (most criminals assume they won't get caught) and in the US system, make rehabilitation harder.

And this is a theme. In general, the US on the whole seems to be strangely obsessed with punishment as the primary goal of its criminal justice system, compared to the systems in other countries. (Eg Norway - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNpehw-Yjvs ). The result is prison system which has one of the world's highest recidivism rates and more inmates per capita than any other country in the world. (With a corresponding financial cost to the taxpayer). Interventions which decrease the capacity for criminals to be rehabilitated make this obviously worse - For example, having news articles about the perpetrator online, forever.

Here in Australia the media isn't allowed to identify criminal defendants in most cases, which is as it should be. This also decreases crime - eg, the NZ shooter a few years ago was never named so he couldn't be painted as a hero, and to avoid copy-cat incidents.

Flogging sounds barbaric, but I bet lots of criminals would rather be flogged than suffer the dehumanizing system y'all have right now. (And if they wouldn't, you could flog them harder without also getting in the way of rehabilitation). Having a perminant cloud over your head when you look for housing or when you meet a new partner sounds simply inhumane.

There has to be some punishment for most crimes for a which is enough, after which the perpetrator deserves a truly fresh start. If you don't believe that, maybe the monster is you.
In a similar vein, I recall reading an anecdote a couple of years ago about an SMS provider and an alerting company that discovered they had a circular dependency on each other: the SMS company didn’t get paged about their service failing because the alert system couldn’t get any messages through.
yeah, he looks really old in that pic though.
But surely, the hundreds of thousands of dead in the US alone, millions worldwide, would suggest that while for many people it is a really really bad cold, for others it is far worse than the flu?

I am American and for me it was a mandatory religion to learn along with hinduism, islam, christianity, judaism, jainism, sikhism, buddhism, taoism, and confucianism.

Though I think many would argue that confucianism is not a religion but a philosophy and my education might have been different than others.

I put my experiments under a "freelancer" role. The role of a resume is to summarize your career in a 30 second glance. I include a portfolio for those who are curious what I actually do but few do.

You could probably just include all your projects under a "founder" role. It says a lot more than leaving it blank. Many people would be happy to hire someone with that kind of iterative experience.
Note that the original comment didn’t say “modern society.” It said “modern life” and was very clearly describing the commenter’s ability to keep their own household running.
> The more terrible things I can say to a person and get a laugh in response, the better the friend.

This sums up my closest friendships as well.

The true mark for when someone has traveled from acquaintance, through friendship, and kept going much further beyond, is when you say the most idiotically, obscenely, insensitive comment to them, and, after a laugh, get something even stronger thrown back at you.
Fucking hilarious! This article quotes Sherri Tenpenny—the lunatic who claims keys stick to vaccinated people!

Did I say fucking hilarious? I meant fucking moronic. What a load of unadulterated shit.
I do not believe this is quite right. Government will protect its own power. If big tech is getting too powerful, the government chop it up into little pieces.

I think it is a forgone conclusion that google will be split up, apple will lose their app-store monopoly, etc.

That's just human psychology. Can't fix that one. It's one of the fundamental anomalies of markets. People also tend to sell more when the price is trending downwards, all other things being equal.
Depending on where you live much plumbing and electrical work can be done by the homeowners - sometimes a licensed tradesman is required to sign off before the inspector comes, other times not.

Either way and in any case it is worthwhile learning what is being done, even if only to make sure corners aren’t being cut.
It doesn't lead to a more secure network because the costs to attack the network are the same. Attackers will have access to the same technology and have similar costs.

Right, I'm not saying there will be a new ASIC; just that there will be no innovation in the Bitcoin space (unless they switch out of PoW) that leads to less energy being used.

>The biggest disappointment for me in the whole COVID response has been the complete failure of ramping up COVID testing and doing random testing or testing of those who hadn't traveled to China.

I had a viral illness back in July with symptoms that couldn't rule out Covid-19. I went to get tested the very next day as soon as I possibly could have and quarantined while I waited. At the time I got tested I was told the backlog was on the order of 3-5 days for Quest. I ended quarantine 2 weeks later, not because I got test results back, but because they waited so long that even if it came back positive I already met the CDC guidelines to end quarantine regardless. Rather than processing the tests they could manage in a timely fashion they were wasting tests on samples so old it didn't even matter what the result was.

Rather than a priority queue they should have been handling tests like a priority stack. I'm sure it would suck to be told "sorry we're not going to check your sample, assume it's positive" but at least then you could manage quarantine and contact tracing in a timely manner instead of waiting so long it's basically useless. Not to mention the government no doubt paid Quest for all of those useless tests vs. Quest only getting paid for the amount they could do in a timely manner. Doing it a reasonable way would just be throwing money away for them.
I am interested because I really like fire and how it is an integral part of Zoroastrianism.
I also don’t assume that manufacturing would have been more resilient during the pandemic if it had remained domestic, given the various public policy failures in this country over the last year: uncontrolled spread, laggard regulatory infrastructure, poorly designed labor incentives, etc.
The problem is resilience. Our economy is now fragile, which is not great. And having no excess inventory doesn't mean having no inventory, since supply chain disruptions aren't necessarily immediate to recover from.

Toyota, which pioneered lean manufacturing, is currently laughing its way to the bank; it has a stockpile of semiconductors, since the 2011 Tohoku quake and tsunami exposed how fragile its supply chain for semiconductors was.
Many end users don't have the vocabulary in their own business language to formulate their requirements. How will a solution magically appear?
I’m not sure I get your point. It’s like you’re talking about this new exotic crypto thing when all crypto is is a new way of transfering value. If you see the different crypto projects as different currencies then you realize that this is really simply about transfers between currencies that don’t have to go through dozens of middle men. You might live in a bubble but remittances is a huge thing in the world you live in.
I've heard that before
I think this is one of the great propaganda successes of the last few years for any American institution (or set of institutions, which I guess better describes the intelligence community).

That the US secret services (spy agencies) and secret police (FBI) have been able to wrap themselves in the flag and convince millions of alleged progressives that they're good and honorable and upright and sincere - and to do so so incredibly cheaply (John Brennan doesn't pay CNN to let him on prime time) - is bananas. They made Russiagate into QAnon for liberals in about 30 seconds and are now on their victory lap, laughing in our faces with the diverse woke CIA commercials [0]. In a way you have to respect it - it's like watching the Harlem Globetrotters.

Techniques matter a lot too. All the tacos here in Malaysia are mediocre, because the standards are very low - Taco Bell was swarmed for weeks when they opened because nobody ever tasted one. It's all just standard ingredients, but done differently.

Richer countries tend to have better agriculture, with more spent on researching quality rather than just quantity. So the milk is probably better too.

Buddhism is great and all and I used to agree with you until I found the research of Stan Tenan about the torah. He is a phycist that got interested in the patterning in the letters of torah and what he discovered is a very logical path to the sacred mystery of ego death and conscience expansion, buddhism was never able to walk me there the way the mysterious of the torah was. Meru Foundation, check out his lectures about his discoveries.

I was talking about network conditions, not a threshold of malicious participants (in which case yeah you will have liveness issues).

Your second paragraph is false also. Different BFT systems have different assumptions. Some work in asynchronous settings, some work in semi-synchronous settings, etc.
Which I guess is exactly what they want, and what comes with an anti-consumer monopoly unfortunately. I cannot wait for these companies to get broken up.
By average I mean average, so you’re probably already good enough!

After two years it’ll be a stretch to get a massive comp like that, but you can easily get close to $300k total comp now at a tech company, and maybe $400k at a hedge fund. My suggestion is to apply and interview at both and see what you get.

I am always very active in these threads because I want fellow SWEs to milk opportunities while they are there, one day the market might turn against us so it’s important to make bank in the meantime.

I'm not religious, so I can't speak from experience; however, I think they speak about people having dominion over nature --dominion here, in that context, meaning stewardship, rather than selfish control. So from that Pov they consider nature.

For anyone who's built a PC before and happens to find themselves without AC, buy a few window fans and you'll find that you can create a consistent airflow in your room/house the same way you make airflow in a PC case. If you're in a room that generates heat, blow air out. Otherwise pull air from outside a larger/two fan(s) and blow air out with a smaller fan.

That model is a bit too simplistic. Right now our best model is that Vedic Aryans we’re the vanguard, facing pressure from Iranian to their back, and so they expanded eastwards, probably picking up Vedic characteristics as they passed through the BMAC culture
I pivoted to create a search engine for cryptocurrency instead as current solutions for crypto price change comparison like coinmarketcap or coinranking, seems to do the job well. Thoughts?
Yeah, when we turned this feature on in Sentry a few years back, bugs got so much easier to fix. 90% of the time the stack trace and all arguments along the way were sufficient to figure out the full cause just from reading, no need to try to reproduce.

It is enormously CPU-expensive though, so it can be risky in production. Small-ish error spikes can cause enough latency to cause more errors, which cause more latency...

I have a BS & MS in Mechanical Engineering, but I have spent the last 15+ years in Software. I first got my start learning to code on the side, but eventually made my way into Product Management. I would look for software engineering companies in the ME space think CAD, PLM, FEA type software companies and look for jobs in PM or even customer success and pre-sales engineering. Some of the best PM's that I've hired come from the customer success groups.
Arrest records are fine as long as the follow-up is located in the same place. Though a voluntary process to expunge records that didn't lead to conviction wouldn't be amiss either.
That's the difference in a nutshell: I simply can't get comfortable with indirect drawing. Maybe with enough practice, but there's never been a forcing function to get that practice. It almost feels painful, to either look at my hand or look at the drawing.

Which leaves the Cintiq, and when I used one, I thought the screen quality couldn't touch the iPad, plus it's at least as expensive for a single-purpose tool. It wouldn't surprise me if the Cintiq's have caught up with iPad on that dimension now, my experience is about seven years out of date.
So your suggesting that add long as our personal information is in their hands and is utilised for maximizing profits but hasn't leaked we shouldn't worry about privacy?
That's interesting that they may have actually been contemporaries. You're right, the origination could have been the other way around, from some common source, or independently arose.

I think you are missing the point. Doing that for one machine for yourself: easy, cheap, maybe even fun. Doing that for 5-10 unknown machines for other people to use in a class... Each may be different, you have to setup each one, they may fail or misbehave at any moment, even during class... Not my idea of easy, cheap or fun. Talking from experience in exactly that kind of situations, working with donated hardware in a school setting.
The Rigveda is not 5000yrs old, but rather is closer to 3900 years old, at most. This is based on linguistic evidence, as well as geographic and biological names in the Rigveda
Agreed. Though in the unlikely event you don’t happen to want/have kids, you can make bank. I lived 10 years in the Bay Area, renting, without spending more than $40k post tax per year (I diligently track all my expenses and make sure nothing can escape from my account balance flow, so that’s accurate) and saving the rest. Always lived within walking/biking distance to work, by renting modest one bedroom apartments.

With kids you’re mostly screwed and have to pay for top notch housing, schools, cars for transportation, …

Something I'm confused by: this article seems to credit Maoris for discovery of Antarctica long before Europeans, but they didn't arrive in Aotearoa (now-New Zealand) till the 14th century, and the paper claims 7th century contact. Wouldn't that mean their Moriori predecessors made this journey? Do Maoris consider themselves part of Moriori lineage?

Edit: looks like my knowledge on this came from old textbooks no longer deemed true. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-M%C4%81ori_settlement_of...

Even that aside, isn't the evidence a bit thin? Finding oral records of snow or ice doesn't mean a lot when icebergs pass by Aotearoa all the time.
