Well they would if it would impact either them or the work. Being diabetic is frankly uninteresting, it's not clear how your work output would be ever damaged by it (until you reach a crisis and need to be out for weeks, then you'd see people care A LOT).

For the alcoholic, drug addiction, I suppose you're recovering and not currently injecting heroin at work, so I suppose it's the same: as long as you just say it and show no particular behavioral impact, what do you expect people to do ? It's not like they'll spit at you for having paid drug cartels or overly help you and bring you coffee more often as a sign of pity.

Again, bring a needle at work and start injecting and see how they are so self-absorbed they don't care :)
The only site that I visit every day multiple times without fail. I can't remember a single day that I have not been on HN in the last 5 years. There's a lot I have learned and it would be silly on my part to say that I haven't been entertained. So a huge Thank you to HN and particularly the moderation team for all that you do. Happy Holidays !
Also, the ability to download & email the one file that is everything it is invaluable.

Never have to worry about the editing environment when porting from one machine to another. Never have to worry about version compatibility and stuff like that.

HTML+JS are mature enough that we can reliably expect the software required to open and edit your notes (i.e., a web browser) to reliably exist in the future. Can't say the same about most other formats.

Even LaTeX, with its version-control-friendly text file format, very quickly runs into portability issues with package management. Someone gives you a .tex file - good luck trying to compile it without Internet connection.

PS: awesome website and art, thanks for sharing!
Sure, but you could say that about any fire where a bunch of people died. There are always "bigger problems" or else there wouldn't be a fire.

I'm not a NZ citizen, nor resident nor I have interest in getting there except maybe as a tourist someday. Anyway if I would apply for entry to NZ or any other country I'd expect that all citizens jump the line in front of me, then everyone paying millions, then everybody else.
Given the popularity of wood construction (5-1s are most of what gets build afaict), I think the main limiter is how big you're allowed to build wood buildings.
I just had this discussion with my daughter this morning, and how you might reasonably decide if it is ok to break a rule.

Often your chice is should do x or y, wait or do now, get the big one or the small one.

By contemplating outcomes in terms or relative risks, you can avoid the problem of trying to evaluate and normalise absolute risk.

eg ask youself, "is the risk of proceding less than the risk of not proceding"

By asking yourself a comparative questoin, rather than an absolute one, it can often become a lot easier to decide.
If hallways are designated awful, then that middle design definitely shouldn't end with all that dead space. And why is the hallway wider than the right design?

So that's floor space saved: https://i.imgur.com/Z9OdYkE.png

And if it's acceptable to combine staircase and hallway, as long as there's another staircase available, you can do even better: https://i.imgur.com/Wa7p4sy.png

The second might be too risky, but I don't think the first one adds any risk.
I'm curious why they don't just make one open-air stairway, and build ladders into the buildings' walls. Multiple permanent ventilated escape methods.
I don't think we are talking about modifing existing buildings or small homes, they are talking towers and large units - a lot of places still count jumping out a residential second floor as an exit, so you'd probably be fine.
Any kind of creative pursuit (where creating is in the eye of the creator) where they’re free to hyperfocus and given relief when that’s exhausting. We (with ADHD) are notoriously productive to the point of severe exhaustion or burnout when we’re working on what we care about or can get motivated to care about.
A Systems Thinking approach:

- Identify all of the entities involved -- people, places, instruments, environments, etc

- For each of those entities, identify what bigger systems are they part of, and also what smaller systems are they comprised of.

- Enumerate all of these things' relationships to one another

- Consider how the the decision will affect the entities, systems, and relationships, in each of the possible scenarios

- Weigh the benefits and drawbacks from all of those perspectives, and then make the call.
He doesn't make anti-COVID-vax statements, he does tend to talk out of both sides of his mouth on it. In the latest thing he didn't encourage it, and explicitly denied the need for mandates in a way that justifies anybody's antivax excuses. But he also called to take credit for it, several times. So he seems to want to have it both ways, and it seems to fall flat in a way that's unusual for him.
Point is Gmail etc would work without you being a Unix admin. I didn't know emails in and out of Gmail get stuck so often.

In almost all countries you can buy citizenship if you're rich. You don't even need to know the language. Immigration and all these gimmicks are for peasants only.
I’m in this camp, so I can tell you one perspective. It’s got nothing to do with political persuasion. It has everything to do with novelty and curiosity of the strange and different.
You can come to Australia, as another option. I think the borders are open for NZers who can get a 444 visa (but don't take my word for it, double check with the government before booking a ticket).

Can you explain your footnote? I do not agree. Someone I love is autistic, and it actually sounds exactly backward to me: the ability to command sustained attention is something she enjoys in remarkable surplus, for example.
> The problem is that you can't track how many disasters were prevented by having two means of egress, so I cant imagine there are real statistics on that

Why wouldn't you be able to compare statistics from the US to any other country that doesn't have that rule?

isn't this what you'd want? deported back to your country? It's not like you could be denied entry at the airport, and deported back to the foreign country...

What kind of doctor do you go to with this? I’ve never gone to anyone other than my primary care doctor and the spectrum of titles mental health professionals have makes it all very confusing to me.
> Presumably - construction materials + fire fighting methods have improved dramatically in that time so buildings are much safer now.

I wouldn't be so sure. Fire prevention methods have improved, but instead of booking the safety gains, this has been seen as a reason to allow wooden structures that previously would not have been legal to build (the famous 5-over-1).
I live in a London apartment building with a single staircase, which is standard here. The difference in principle seems to relate to “what happens when there’s a fire?”. Here, we don’t need to escape if there’s a fire in the building[1], because regulations demand walls, floors and doors that can withstand many hours of fire, which provides more than enough time for the fire service to attend and extinguish the fire. My building specifically asks residents to shelter in place.

If a fire in my neighbours apartment meant I needed to escape, certainly an extra egress point would be nice, but the solution to that problem seems to be… better fire isolation.

[1] The grenfell disaster (mentioned by the article) was so deadly because people sheltered in place as instructed… but that building had been modified without following regulations.
We currently do this. Team is compromised of folks across multiple time zones so it comes in handy.

This is an exceedingly uncaring response to someone who expressed being disabled by their addiction and by their diabetes. In particular I hope in the future you will not encourage people to bring their acknowledged addiction to work for attention.
The version I recall was something like a doctoral candidate shows up to their defense, points out that no member of their committee had claimed the free bottle of scotch mentioned in their dissertation (implying no one on the committee had read the diss. closely), and so candidate was allowed to drink the scotch during the defense.

As a Python/Typescript developer I switched to IDEA from VS Code and never looked back. Debugging, code sense, full GUIs for test coverage - everything works right out of the box without tweaks or addons. Is IDEA's RAM usage massively higher, and if you starve it of RAM, does it lag obnoxiously? Of course. But I'm lucky to have a workstation that can handle it. If you do too, it's worth trying out.

Years ago when I was working at a different company, all employees were given an agreement that we were required to sign, regarding (non-)disclosure of confidential information. I carefully read the document, and noticed a section that basically said we were not allowed to disclose any information about our products to anyone outside of the company. It obviously should have specified not to disclose confidential information, but taken literally, we were not allowed to tell customers about our products at all, such as by publishing advertising/marketing materials.

I emailed the president about this, who forwarded my concern to the lawyer who created the agreement. The president then forwarded the lawyer's reply back to me, which more or less said that I was an idiot. Deciding this wasn't a battle worth fighting, I replied "well, since I'm not a lawyer, I'll have to take his word for it that a judge in court would interpret this clause the way he claims it is intended", and signed it.

The agreement also said that the president was supposed to co-sign each signed agreement and return a copy back to the employee, and since I never actually received my co-signed copy, I have to assume it never became binding for me anyway.

Yes. I feel the need to do this viscerally and always have. To be acceptable, a push notification would have to warn me of impending death or severe injury. All other push notifications are evil. You might as well be snorting meth.

Deportation usually comes with long lasting restrictions on travel to the country you are getting kicked from. Hopefully, USCIS/ICE will use their brains in situations like this.
I've found that having emotional empathy (rather than logical empathy) isn't productive, or efficient.

I have ADHD, and I've worked with people with ADHD. Having emotional empathy for their situations and what they're going through just led me to burnout. Having logical empathy spared me from myself, and cut through most of the bullshit (e.g. drawing the line between what is caused by the illness vs. what is just personality/personal choices).

I think the two most effective lines of thought in this area have been:

1). Are they genuinely interested and motivated (ha! More accurately: "open to") succeeding?

Many times, when you have an illness you can get into self-defeating and self-sabotaging mindsets and habits. There's nothing you can do in this area if they're not "open to" success. If they're not, then that's something they'll have to figure out on their own (and perhaps with a psychologist).

2). If they are genuinely "open to" succeeding: what do they need to succeed?

The major facet of my ADHD is very dogshit executive function. I cannot make complex and linear plans in my head. I cannot hold a rough "map" of what I need to do, order it in importance and what logical steps I need to take, and execute on it. I cannot mentally "keep it together." It's just impossible. I don't have the mental facility -- the same way blind people can't see.

But, that means I've had to figure out how to get around it. Primarily, I've had to structure my environment so that I'm always "on rails." I have everything jotted down, and within my eyesight (if it's in a digital planner/calendar, in some file or app I have to open, I will never open it). I have a routine that lets me do everything I need to do, without ever having to think about it. I have a job that doesn't force me into a "one size fits all" structure. I have flexibility and autonomy on how I approach a task. As long as I get the work done that's needed to be done, I'm allowed to do it however I want.

I think that's a massive hurdle in "accommodating" ADHD: everyone's ADHD manifests differently, and there's no "guide book" on how to accommodate ADHD. The only thing there is is people with ADHD figuring out what they need in order to be successful, communicating that to the people they work with, and then those people listening, and making a good faith effort in doing what's needed.

Otherwise, there's really nothing to be done. It's up to each individual with ADHD to figure out what environment works best for them (as daunting and improbable a task it may seem) -- and getting the people they interact with to, reasonably, not impede on that environment.
FWIW fire deaths have gone down by half since the 70s. Perhaps you could attribute this to fire alarms or better automatic sprinklers but overall this is a very good trend given population trends.

I'm also fairly certain that better fire retardant materials are used now and that's why wooden structures are allowed.

A dozen extra staircases wouldn’t have done much to save people in Grenfell tower. They were instructed to stay in place, because when building regulations are followed, that’s the safest place to be. The problem with Grenfell was that building regulations had been violated, at which point, all bets about safety are off.
My understanding was that a hypotheiss of why ivermectin seems more likely to be effective at treating COVID in studies conducted in places with lots of parasitic infections is that some of those undiagnosed parasitic infections exacerbate COVID symptoms.

So, having symptoms associated with COVID and not particular to parasitic infection wouldn't rule out that hypothesis, but instead be consistent with it.
Yeah, but you have to weigh that against the annoyance of slowly choking on black smoke, while the temperature rises and cooks you alive.
The parent isn't ok either. I probably could, and maybe should, have posted the same scolding there. Your phrasing seemed marginally worse to me.

Re "fact": it's of course good to be talking about facts as opposed to fantasies, but it's not sufficient for good discussion here. There are many other variables, including (1) which facts people select to talk about (there are infinitely many, after all), and (2) how they talk about them. Those things are choices, not facts.

Wow he's really been around. I visited Bucharest a lot for work and as always on business trips I love walking around and exploring every night. And not just the center. I love seeing how people live and travel, to use local transport systems instead of sitting in the hotel at night and using taxis. The metro in Bucharest is much faster and probably safer than taxis anyway :)

However my local colleagues always cautioned me against going to places like Ferentari. I'm surprised the author felt safe there. From what they made it sound like I couldn't set foot there without getting stabbed :) I have to say I was also intrigued. But as a Western European I'm not sure if I would be able to accurately identify risks in a really bad area so I didn't go.

But perhaps even locals don't visit these areas much so they might not know what they're really like? It does certainly look like a place that would make most people turn around.

But I agree. The rich places always look the same. I don't want to see another mall or McDonald's :)
There are alot of factors: building codes, materials, age, likely ignition sources . Probably not impossible, but difficult to find a meaningful way to compare.

I'm also guessing that fire reporting doesn't include the level of detail you would need. For example, a fire in which firefighters were able to tackle from two sides would be quickly extinguished, where as the same fire with 1-sided access might have become a disaster. But thats a what-if, only learned the hard way.

In New Zealand we try to have something called the Rule of Law. The same laws and regulations apply to everyone regardless of wealth or political connection.

The rule of law is the key innovation that allowed the industrial revolution to take place bringing the West to its present rich and free lifestyle.

Adherence to the rule of law is a major reason why NZ is regularly in the top 5 countries globally for lack of corruption, transparency, and ease of doing business.

Abandoning the rule of law leads eventually to autocracy. From this distance the US appears to be well down that road.
I read a lot about these in local news because I used to live in a town in Massachusetts where one of those buildings burned down in construction. According to what I read, it's mostly the sprinklers that make it safe (or at least viewed that way) -- before those go in they're a big tinder box. This trend really took off with building code changes in 2009 though, so 1970 might not be the right starting point.

> how would you describe to someone who is not diagnosed ?

Certain abilities that normal people mature in are stuck at the level of a fifteen-year-old for me and will be perpetually. Some of them are:

Ability to "feel" the nearness of the future, and plan and act accordingly

Ability to choose to do one task over another, and particularly an uninteresting task over an interesting one

Ability to stop an interesting task to change to another important task

Ability to stay on a single topic in thoughts and conversations

Many people with ADHD also have the emotional regulation of a ~15 year old, perpetually.

Most people can approximately remember how difficult those different abilities were when they were fifteen so there can be some level of empathy. When you were fifteen, university most likely "felt" very far away, and preparing for it "felt" not very important compared to your day-to-day. In hindsight, 15 is not far away from 18 and starting university, and there are many things you can do at 15 to make entering a good university easier.

I'd also say there is a pretty clear tree of an argument re: the "everything must be libre only" line:

1. Are you a developer? Do you want to use your code later in project that you may not control?

2. Do you use non-GPL software? Like X/Wayland?

3. Do you use proprietary software? Why does a game dev deserve to get paid when that logging software upon which your company depends does not?

4. You're not any of the above -- are simply a user that wants FOSS firmware? What has libre-Linux done for you on this front? The answer is nothing. Except keep ZFS out of the kernel, because... reasons? More open firmware will happen. However, not because of legal reasons, but because FOSS arguments for transparency and market forces.

I'm not saying your choices are wrong. They are your choices after all. I'm saying they're not the only possible choices.

I agree with you that it would be better for HN if Chinese users, and users of Chinese background, could share more of their experiences and observations. I've been arguing that for a long time, as I believe you know. But it's not super cool of you to be making that argument as long as your own contributions to HN are undermining that possibility. We're each responsible for how we individually affect the collective situation, and pointing the finger at others—even if they're behaving badly, and even though they're benefitting from an unfair, lopsided fight—is not helpful.
