> In addition, there's no clear diagnostic test for ADD/ADHD (no way to even distinguish between the two)

they're literally the same thing. ADD got renamed to ADHD in the publication of the DSM IV.

> it's just an opinion based on the subjective judgements of psychiatrists

No, there are standardized screenings with recognized scales, as well as evaluations to measure attention span.

This can also be said for several mental illnesses: depression, anxiety, ocd...

>> > "ADHD drugs, such as Adderall and Ritalin, increase levels of the brain chemical dopamine and provide mental stimulation. This, in turn, allows users to become more focused and calm because they no longer need to engage in self-stimulating behavior."

Yes. that's the point. Give 20mg of adderall to someone without adhd and see how calm they are. That dopamine boost brings someone with adhd up to neurotypical levels.

I'd also say: consider how many people are diagnosed with adult adhd without ever having been on a CNS.
I am curious, do iPhones not send a list of opened apps (a la MacOS) back to Apple periodically? I was under the impression that most phone vendors would collect statistics like that.
> I have been wondering what makes some people so motivated to push Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, because for the life of me I just couldn't imagine that some people could care so much

They care so much for exactly the same reasons you expressed in your post: because they think this is costing thousands of lives, and they have little trust in institutions that typically study these, and often for good reasons.

The same financial incentives that drive some fraudsters to push "fake treatments" are even greater in pharma where literally billions of dollars are on the line, which is why people's skepticism of pharma is so significant.

You see how much symmetry there is in how you're thinking about this and how the people on the other side are thinking about this. The only way to come to a common understanding is to agree on who can ascertain the truth on these questions, and so the loss of institutional trust is the real problem here.

Journalists these days are viewed as partisan hacks, and science journalism has been almost universally terrible for decades now anyway, so arguably people have no reason to trust journalists.

Scientists are much better on factual questions generally, but even here the replication crisis has shown that up to 50% of published results can't be replicated [1], so a coin flip would be equally likely to ascertain the truth on any new question. Fixing this has only just begun and the remedies will take years to be adopted everywhere.

This reckoning has been a long time coming, but people are so caught up in their partisan politicking they're missing the forest for the trees and putting the blame in all the wrong places.

[1] Edit: 50% in medicine, it's even worse in other disciplines like social sciences.

I used to think, untill recently, that Facebook was just a tool and all this hatred was overblown. After all, I modulated my use of it just fine. My usage is sparse, and I use messenger to talk with people I know, it kept us together. I can see how community and bringing old friends together is precious.

But, recently, I realized someone I used to be very close has mental problems. Undiagnosed, but there is no other way I can explain his behaviour to myself. Obsessive behaviour, can only talk about his conspiratorial obsession, erratic, spends most of his time "learning" about a specific conspiracy. And I see how Facebook is exacerbating this. I see how these things are poisoning his mind, fantasies weaved by other mentally ill people. It's just sad, when I thought about it and dawned on me most of those _wild_ conspiracy theories are people that need help feeding each other's sickness.

And then I look on my dad's wall, and saw the same hatred and resentment growing, and it scared me, the possibility he might drift even more this way.

Now I changed my mind. I think it is harmful and it does induce bad states in people that would otherwise be better, or at least... Surrounded by better support systems. But I still think it's not _just_ Facebook. It's a confluence of factors.
But surely, even then, VCs could construct short positions directly with options.
This resonates a lot with me. I'm hitting revenue metrics that I used to dream about, but still feel like success is something so far away. I see other businesses (and think of business ideas) that I consider much simpler than dealing with hardware issues, chip supply problems, etc.

I guess the grass is always greener, and it is hard to get off the hedonic treadmill. Hitting milestones used to give me such a rush when we were just starting out, but by now milestones have become "table stakes".

When did you consider that success hit? How did you recognize it? How do you acknowledge the fact that success hit, yet still feel insecurities / desires / jealousy of other business?

PS. thanks for answering my tweets about cross platform development a couple of years ago! We've got our native apps out there now.
My overall experience with SPAs as a user of different services is not so great on average. There are a few services where this works out great but for the most majority it makes the experience worse.
I think also that the format is different, the link between people is not the same on social media posts. There is a difference between seeing something interesting, thinking of a friend who might be interested and sending it to him with a personal message like "check this out, it made me think of you, you might like it" and just putting something on display for people to see it, and add like to it to give you some small pride and some endorphin reinforcement of the posting behaviour.

It seems to me that the direction of the thinking goes the other way: in one, you think of a friend and contact him, in the other, you think of yourself, show yourself to the world and people send you likes.

When I thought of this, it seemed to me that social media is often some sort of "narcissistic exposure of oneself" and encourages this type of behaviour from me and I didn't like it. This plus the fact that I didn't like Facebook's behaviour with it's user's data made me delete my account, and I didn't miss it since. If I think of friends, I have other means of contacting them that have a more personal feel.
"pay system"...nothing without government endorsement/control/use/abuse.
I will admit I was extrapolating from a single experience of helping finish a room. It sounds like that experience might not stretch as far as I thought.
Stick to messenger apps. It's tough, I know, because of network effects, but I managed to convert about 20 friends of mine to use Signal. I deliberately avoid Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp since they can be intercepted easily, and if you're caught making a joke about ISIS, the Whatsapp police can unencrypt your messages which kinda sucks.

Instant messages are more personal and you're not broadcasting your life to 5000 randos, who could potentially weaponize that data if they wanted (potential employer saw your meme about binge drinking & alcohol consumption? Too bad).
Yeah that seems to be the trick. If I only I knew then that that would be a successful business tactic. :)

I like the thought experiment of exploring the entire universe with advanced space travel and finding no other life (statistically a zero chance if the universe isn’t anthropocentric).

You can’t draw any information from this, except perhaps that the author avoided Second System Syndrome.

In college I worked with students who had programming jobs. While my classmates were spending fifteen+ hours on assignments, one of these coworkers who I shared a class with said he was spending two hours and I thought he was lying. Another was claiming three or four. This must be bravado I thought.

Next summer I got a programming job too. That fall I was spending six hours on homework, and by year’s end I was down to three.

When everything is new you go slow. You have to solve problems without muscle memory, and you have to fight nervousness. Am I doing this wrong? Is this even a good answer?

They talk about 10000 hours and mastery, but there are also clear breakpoints at 100 and 1000 hours, where you know enough to do a lot, and you don’t have to stop to consider your first moves.
While I hate FB I also hate headlines like this, why poll the public on something the media affects? Just report what findings are and the effects.

It’s like a couple months ago having headlines saying “more American’s (USA) are afraid of crime rising than any time in the past 20 years!” and crime only rose slightly… it’s the cart leading the horse.
For what it's worth, that is not an NIH study; it may be listed on PubMed but it appears to be conducted by researchers at the Integrative Biochemistry & Immunology Laboratory, Department of Animal Science, Kazi Nazrul University. PubMed indexes most biomedical literature, not just research conducted by the NIH.

And again, computer simulations suggesting that ivermectin may interact with a specific protein is not the same as saying that it indeed does do so in human tissue.

>There is, of course, no bias in the types of people who are comfortable with and can easily pass a background check, and those who are not or cannot.

You're correct, there's no bias on the system for background checks. Anyone of any race, color, or creed can get a background check to verify their eligibility to exercise their right to own/carry firearms and vote.
Please tell me more about how publically accessible by anyone REST API's need CORS. Are you actually suggesting people have to tell companies what domains they will be calling an API from, in order to add it to the list of allowed domains, in the code base?
I agree with this. IMO any theory wrt to consciousness has to first and foremost consider that no hard line can be drawn along the continuum from human beings to elephants to ants to yeast cells.
Of course "the market" is people, and algorithms watching what the people and other algorithms do, so is not immune from excessive optimism or pessimism, as the stock market should demonstrate
>but military contractors are known to have profit margins >30%.

Based on what data? Contract bidders must show all direct and indirect costs and are typically allowed to price in ~10% profit when submitting their proposal. In fact, you can look at historical financial data for LMT, NOC, GD, etc and see profit margin float around 7-10%. A proposal with 30% profit margin baked in would be laughed out of the selection committee.

Hi Prof. Andy,

I understand its complex for on-prem. Instead of you tweaking the product to be compatible for every other company why not let the companies to be compatible with your standard. I understand it's easier to be said than done. Especially in the early innings.

>a majority of exchange trading pairs are between currencies and USDT. (not financial advice)

Is that actually true? In my (limited) experience I have seen ETH and USDC much more frequently than USDT.

There also seems to be a recent migration to algorithmic stablecoins like RAI which aren't pegged to the dollar but are (supposedly) designed to limit fluctuation in value. I suspect that without regulatory action against both USDC and decentralize stable tokens that crypto would recover from a Tether collapse.

I think in this particular case the problem is not FB but people themselves.

I am Canadian and it does not harm my mental health for a simple reason that I simply do not use FB or other "social media". I really do not give a hoot about somebody else's lifestyle and what they had for dinner.
Agreed, having read a few of them. Also surprisingly approachable.

Most of the folks on this thread seem to be objecting to the opt-out nature of their subscription service. I agree with them.

On the other hand, you seem to be objecting to the very nature of money being charged for this app or any other healthcare service?

It's gross, and I do not love this aspect of capitalism. I agree with you to that extent.

But -- again, without ditching capitalism entirely -- what's the alternative? These folks are providing a service and that costs money. Aside from ditching capitalism entirely, what alternative is there to "charging $X to fix Y?" Literally anything amounts to a chronic or acute disability tax. The cost of asprin is a headache tax. And so on.

The best capitalism has been able to do is roll these sorts of healthcare costs into insurance premiums, so we can share the cost collectively to an extent. Unfortunately I doubt an app like this is covered by any plan.

The only other solution (within capitalism) I can imagine is if the creators of this app ran their company as a non-profit org. I have considered that in the past for a venture or two. But, the money would still need to come from somewhere.
Funnily enough, I don't think the quoted comment makes a charitable interpretation of the article.

> Why do you consider Martin's definition of side-effect, which speaks of 'global state' and 'unexpected changes' to include changes to private members of the class in functions that document those changes via their signature?

In Martin's definition, the first example of a side effect is "unexpected changes to the variables of its own class". Perhaps the argument being made here is that the changes aren't unexpected, but in that case, the article is very clear in that it considers them unexpected.

What is nice about using the same tech as the 'big players' is you get the benefits of massive armies of engineers building integrated products and features to sell to other big users of the product. This means there are options to add on distributed databases, storage, monitoring, tracing, CD/CI, etc. So it can be worth swallowing 'big player' complexity if it means you can play in the same ecosystem. If you are already on a cloud then your infrastructure provider will handle a lot of that complexity for you anyway and it's often better integrated into their other products (i.e networking, access control, etc).
There is the PostgREST project that allows you to just have a REST API to your database.
Social media, ultimately, is information. There is no point in polarizing Facebook as good or bad. It is access to certain types of information and one must learn to discern if it can serve them or not.
So social media turns out to be like alcohol. Possible to use in moderation, but abused to negative health detriments by most partakers.

Ciao HN. The title is a bit tongue-in-cheek, 'cause Neo is actually already used by eng teams distributed across time zones, some of whom may be glad they're never going back to the office.

I'm interested this community's take on factors that would stop you from trying Neo, if you believe he'd be useful for you at work.

As for taking him for a spin, you can of course. You'll need to put in an email to receive a test recap though, because it takes time to process a video.

If you have multiple pages each with their own javascript that allows them to behave like an application, is it still considered a SPA? Yes it behaves like an application, but javascript running AJAX is hardly different from what traditional webpages already do. To me the defining trait of a SPA is a site that does all its routing within a single html page (which I consider an antipattern).
Sure. In 1984, 37 years ago, a whopping 8.2% of US households sported a computer. So yeah, ubiquitous indeed.

Younger people tend to be more open to new things and less set in their ways, which certainly makes a difference in this case. Note that I'm again not talking in absolutes, but about matters of tendency. Naturally, in the individual case all things come down to opportunity and choice, but it seems curious to deny the statistics of the matter.
> You're looking at this from a western perspective. Some non-western countries are entirely linked by Facebook products. When Facebook went down last week, some people couldn't access their BANKS. You OK with that?

I'm not ok with that at all however I would guess that those decisions are being reevaluated as we speak!

>That's what Facebook wants: to become something you simply MUST use to survive.

But if you choose not to use the platform they will never have the power to make that happen. Anyone in power would be tempted to make themselves indispensable. It is a very human thing and let's not forget how flawed we all are.

>We need legislation to stop Facebook creep, because that "creep" eventually makes it mandatory.

You just move the power from Facebook to the government, it doesn't solve the core problem.
+1 on medication being a huge help. I deal with non-ADHD issues, but the same has been true for me: no amount of therapy was helping until I got meds figured out.

You make a really interesting point about diagnosis that I hadn't considered. Could an app like this _do harm_ by routing folks away from the traditional (albeit shitty) route of diagnosis and the subsequent treatment (insurance doesn't cover shit without a diagnosis)?
I think a variation of the Sorites paradox [1] should be sufficient to argue that 4) is closest and that there is a continuum of consciousness:

You and I are (I presume) conscious and have a meaningful sensation of qualia. If you were to take a high powered laser and destroy exactly one neuron, we still would be. Given how many people survive and do relatively fine after traumatic brain injuries, you can probably extend that to some number of fried neurons while still preserving consciousness.

If the laser destroyed all of our neurons and left our brains a smoking lump of cinder, we would not be conscious. If the laser destroyed all but one neuron, we probably still would not be conscious. That's probably equally true of five or ten neurons.

Now, it may be that if you extend those two scenarios then at some number of neurons, the two will meet and frying just one more neuron completely flips your brain from "as conscious as a fully functional human" to "as inert as a block of steel". But the existence of that magic number seems highly unlikely to me. It would require some explanation for what is special about that exact quantity of neurons that one more or less completely lacks.

It seems then that the most likely reality is that consciousness is a continuum where cognitive machines and living beings can have relatively more or less of it and any threshold that we define to mean "conscious" is mostly as arbitrary as the names of colors.

They 100% are. I see comments from those (you?) folks all the time.
The problem is, if you're going to make that case, the same argument can be applied to a limitation of our understanding of our origin.
So if there's such a thing as "being the computer" could we say that a computer experiences qualia and it is somewhat conscious?
