I do strongly suspect I am ADHD, but avoid basically all stimulants (unless we count sugar as a stimulant, in which case I eat sugar sometimes. And lots of carbohydrates in general that aren't sugar)

I haven't sought a diagnosis or even been screened because I'm not interested in taking strong stimulants, even though I'm sure it would help a lot with some things, and besides a prescription I don't see any obvious benefits to having it "made official".

Have a few ADHD family members who have seen great success with their prescriptions though. All in all, I do feel like I am making a little improvement to my executive function over time through purely psychological means, but it can feel like pretty slow going sometimes.
I had a suspicion that the Tennis Australia and Victoria State Government did not want to take on the publicity battle and kicked the ball down to the Federal government. The person issuing the Visa at the Fed level either lapsed in reviewing or also decided to kick the ball down the road, which was to the Border Force. The Border Force had no choice but to act on it but messed up on the procedure. It's all bureaucratic or am I way off in thinking?
Why wouldn't he be? He could have just gotten vaccinated. And then, he could have not lied to them about his travel.

I mean, seriously, most folks that lie to immigration/border security get deported and aren't allowed back in. They are used as political pawns, too, but simply are a number instead of a person. I don't know why this man is supposed to be treated differently.
Lovely! This reminds me to Cartooners [1], a related but totally different game/toy that I lost many rainy days to as a kid. It was a DOS Application with a library of scenes and actors that you could use to put together short cartoons. When EA was still Electronic Arts...

Wondering if modern day equivalents exist. Has this space been swallowed up wholesale by Roblox or are these kinds of games still being made?

Is in the public interest of Australian people for natural immunity to be recognized and this spectacle be over

In comparison they are allowed to have cricket matches with hundreds of thousands of spectators packing
I'm not sure of the extent of the Victorian government's involvement in this debacle, but it is clear they had expressly gave him their assurance (multiple sources mention both Tennis Australia and the Victorian government gave him their approval, even if the visa was ultimately wrong) and were aware of the circumstances (would be surprising if they weren't attentive to the world's #1 tennis player coming to one of the world's most prestigious tennis tournaments).
I mean... you have politicians and "influeners" (i'm talking guys like leonardo dicaprio, and not youtubers) flying in their own personal jets around the world, to say Johnny Average here, that he shouldn't drive his car and eat meat. You also have huge industries totally unregulated (just look at great pacific garbage patch... most of the trash there is fishning equipment, not to mention many many other industries), but instead of regulating them, the polticians ban straws and tap their backs. We have empty planes flying all over the world, so airlines can keep their slot, but johnny should ride his bike in the rain. We have china polluting everything, but no plastic bag for johnny, only reusable ones, which are even worse for the environment. We have companies fighting right to repair, creating a huge amount of e-waste due to their policies, but no, johnny should live in a smaller house.

I mean.. honestly, I get johnny.

Black and White really helps. "The algorithm" also plays with the color spectrum to influence our reptilian brain.

On the rare occasion I need to turn my phone to color say once a month (like when buying a pair of shoes and needing to see the color) the hue and intensity of just the regular internet and Instagram is outright overwhelming.

That's anecdotal but in my experience it does work.
But this attitude leads to the current situation, where the criminals face minimal risk, the deterrent factor of harsh punishments isn't there.
> Indeed. There's so much focus on short-term solutions for crime – even outside of the US.

There's an old nugget that if anyone could time-travel they'd go back in time and kill Hitler. Nobody would go a few more years back to educate him.

People are not educated to look at the big picture but to react in the moment. Stop the theft as it's happening. Shoot. This goes best with societies where taking a life is considered appropriate response to someone trying to steal your fishing lure, societies where your individual rights trump absolutely anything else (imagine explicitly voting to pay more taxes yourself because that will benefit the poorer part of the population).

Reacting in the moment requires almost no thought out process. It's mostly autonomous, a reflex. Thinking of the bigger picture, identifying a root cause, identifying the impact of each of your options, these all take a strong enough education to override that reflex.
Djokovic had Covid in June (that's still accepted, right?). He is in the highest risk group for myocarditis from the vaccination. Omicron is dominant. Vaccine efficacy against Omicron is low. What is the scientific basis for mandating that he must be vaccinated in order to participate?
While I understand your argument, it ignores the fact that, at scale, there is a non-insignificant chunk of society that is willing to break and bend the rules for personal gain, causing others loss, simply because that's the most direct path for them to obtain what they want. This is, at least in my opinion, exacerbated by the size and the diversity of the US population, and its variety of creeds, affluence levels, ethnic backgrounds, and others. The US is not Iceland, it's not Japan, it's not Finland.

If you increase the base floor of affluence in the whole of society, yes, people stricken by poverty will no longer have to conduct this kind of activity out of desperation, but many, driven by other impulses, will simply move up to a higher class level of antisocial white collar behavior, from scamming investors to conmanship et al. still eventually necessitating the intervention of law enforcement and jail time.

If you take a look at your average prison population, people incarcerated due to poverty-induced despair are only part of the picture. There are plenty of folks in there who, for one reason or another, spanning from genetics to growing up in extremely abusive environments, are not wired to succeed in society, and are in some form a menace to it, and need to be contained in a way that allows non-sociopaths to conduct normal living.

I can't tell you the exact desperation-to-sociopathy ratio of criminal activity, I'm not sure those numbers exist, but my hunch, based on whatever information I've gotten my hands on over the years, is that the sociopath percentage behind this sort of activity is non-trivial and cannot be simply glossed over in the interest of standing up for folks of lesser means.

Before we inject our own biases into this conversation, I would love to see the data, the stats, and understand why the culprits are doing what they're doing. Otherwise we're simply painting our existing moral and political positions onto this canvas with no way of refuting any of the stances. The trite and tedious unfalsifiable personal-responsibility-vs-oppressed-victim-of-circumstances debate that never gets anywhere.
Are you saying that climate change is man made through industrialization? I mean your argument is basically that we can launch more satellites and stations as industrialization progresses.
> Should they accept that a tennis star gets the leeway they were denied?

It seems Djokovic went through all the proper channels to get an exemption and visa. Australia's institutions gave him a visa.

The real exemption is that a minister is disregarding Australia's institutions and cancelling his visa because "feelings".

Australia needs to take a hard look at their laws and the way they treat their citizens instead of creating a high profile scapegoat.
I have to disagree

> Tobacco kills more than 8 million people each year. More than 7 million of those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use while around 1.2 million are the result of non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke.

Two years, 16+mio deaths. Total covid deaths, a bit over 5 mio.

Super interesting thanks!!!
Developing native application is not targeting single platform. It means choosing a different set of tools and technologies used for development. Instead of relying on some cross-platform framework / module / engine you just rely on different stuff which is closer to the platforms you plan supporting.

> There's been a massive push in recent decades towards permissive licenses, driven in large part by a combination of companies who find permissive licensing convenient and individual developers who project a certain counter-counterculture "do whatever you want, I don't want to think about licenses".

I'm not sure permissive Open Source licensing is counter-cultural. It's just a way for developers to take from and contribute to the software commons as part of their commercial day jobs. It doesn't challenge the status quo any more than the journals in which other disciplines might share and grow expertise on new techniques which are not considered trade secrets.

More restrictive Free Software licenses can be counter-cultural since the virality of those licenses can prevent software being 'exploited' by commercial entities. But that counter-cultural label only really applies to communal Free Software. Open-core business models while valid aren't really of the same spirit.

The balance between permissive and restrictive Open Source and Free Software licenses in the software commons of an area ultimately ends up reflecting the developer time that each model provides. And whether a particular license is permissive or restrictive will depend on the company. GPL JavaScript libraries are pretty restrictive as using them would likely require you to share your commercial application code under a permissive license. GPL Linux is effectively permissive unless your business model involves selling operating systems.
Is it, though?

I'm not a psychologist, but there must be some reason why people "veg out". Before Facebook and Instagram, it was TV. Before then, I'm honestly not sure.
He just had Covid as well? So most likely he is better protected than vaccinated people.

> I've never seen an American-style SUV in Western Europe

I was actually thinking about these SUVs this morning, as their were two Cadillac Escalades [0] parked on my block in central Stockholm as I walked my kid to school. The town is *full* of these types of vehicles (there are even full-size Hummers driving around).

The "EU" can't be characterized in this uniform way - the different countries are totally unlike each other in so many respects. Because Sweden is part of Scandinavia, people often think there's a cycling culture here for instance - but that's also totally untrue. The same is true of our gun-crime - with criminal gangs frequently shooting each other on the streets: such a thing was virtually unknown to me throughout the time I lived in central London.

The true picture is way more nuanced than the Europe vs USA binary that people like to imagine.

Yes it worked. If you read my comment, the company is growing. We're making our competitors jealous.
Well this explains where my Amazon packages keep going.
The right to protect oneself and one’s property goes at least as far back as the Code of Hammurabi. Every ancient civilization from Babylon to Tenochtitlan had some variation of this idea. It is practically the definition of civilization itself.
How about putting something like an electrical fence around those containers, maybe even just one or two wires, focused on the parts where they get opened. They could also signal when a container has been opened if should they get cut.
> We need more coders

Who is "we" here?
There are a lot of poor people who are not thieves.

I’ve always felt this framing condescends to them. Sure, there’s certainly more incentive to steal at the academic extremes (bread for your starving family), but people raiding trains for packages is something else.

There should be police response to this, and people doing it should get charged.
Great. /s
There is evidence that there is an educational benefit for everyone just alone to the fact that people get challenged with academic problems.

But people should also be made aware that universities do not train a craft and not every academic discipline translates to an occupation. The final training will probably happen in the companies that want to invest in academics.

People insist youtube be a safe place to leave their kids unsupervised. Then they complain when YouTube acts like a shitty kindergarten. It's that simple really.
There also the problem of fact retention. I really doubt children will remember the name of the substance accurately, and then they suddenly drink hydrochloric acid, which to most people sounds "close enough," and that's just exacerbated in the case of children
I wonder how his supporters deal with the fact that, if his test wasn't falsified, then Djokovic's plan for getting into Australia was apparently to catch COVID almost exactly when he claims he did.

I.e., at some point Tennis Australia told Djokovic's team that he would/might get an exemption if he'd had COVID recently. In early December Djokovic hadn't had COVID recently and didn't qualify for any kind of exemption. It is very fortunate for him that he then caught COVID, and in time to recover before the event. In early December Djokovic must have been expecting to NOT compete in the Australian Open, right?
> He could have just gotten vaccinated.

He could have just gotten carreer-ending myocarditis from the vaccination. The risk in his cohort to get it from vaccination is higher than getting it from covid, which he already had. How is that mandate justified?
> Humans will always crave to have more than each other ad will steal, loot, defraud, do anything to get there.

Yes and currently society has many many ways for the privileged to get even more than others than they already have, in ways that are legally accepted even if they’re morally reprehensible. And as long as we don’t change that and make the playing field more even, I don’t think judging petty theft so harshly makes any sense at all.
Ah ok, so is he was discovered taking performance enhancing drugs you would complain in the same way saying that it’s unacceptable that only the best non-doped player can win.
Your logic is completely flawed.
If there are rules and he breaks then they have ALL the reasons to ban him.

I agree, but realistically that takes you in the 50+ range. The median age of the US workforce, so the top of the curve, is 42 (under 40 if minority or in tech but still well above 30).

I live in a 3-rd world country that has like 40 times less GDP per capita than the United States. The vast majority of our people work in the fields growing crops and are much poorer than the poorest communities in the US. Our people have to survive, like for real. By your logic, theft, crime, murders and robberies should be rampant in my country because they “have to”. But my country is much safer in that regard that the US. Because we don’t “have to”. People in need do whatever they can to find a job. Those who can’t find a job, they go to Russia and find a job there. In no way in our culture it is considered acceptable to steal even if you “have to”. People are not animals. Social good, social relationships, morals, good parenting and family values are real things.

I’m not talking about those incapable to work, of course. Funny thing is, our government gives shelter to such people, and they don’t live in the streets as well.

United States is a paradoxical country.
>The trains are clearly being robbed out of desperation by the poorest citizens.

That isn’t clear to me at all. In Washington DC, for example, much of the recent increase in theft (grand theft auto especially) has been committed by unsupervised juveniles. AFAICT they do it because they’re bored, it’s easy, it’s exciting, and they generally escape punishment. Who’s to say it’s not a similar situation with these train robberies?
One question to ask is if they truly need all the 50 TB data in one database instance at once.

Some old inactive data can be moved into partitions, then detached and moved to a different DB instance, as an archiving step.

It reads like their processed payments (5000 tx/second) are very suitable for daily, monthly, yearly archiving.

For analytics, a summary stab can be kept in place of the detailed (archived) transactions.

For statutory reporting, the slow archives can be accessed on demand.
In the US, stealing Epipens and selling them on the black market makes them more accessible compared to than forcing people to pay the retail price. The manufacturer can always make more - they could accept 90% losses due to theft and still sell them profitably, based on the prices they offer in other countries [0].

So if you're going to play the "assault on my health" card, the guys robbing trains are literally Robin Hood saving lives.

Yeah, it introduces some problems around chain of custody, counterfeiting...but people who can afford the $300 can continue to pay the retail price.

OK, I get what you meant.

But still, I'm pretty sure we can all agree that Nintendo is giving a terrible advice for the sake of simplicity.
in the first case he's on the hook in Serbia, not in Australia

in the second case, these documents resolve to an official Serbian covid certificate web page and it's the country of Serbia responsibility to explain to other countries in the world how that was possible to happen and to find out who did it

now, the fact that Novak visited Spain and his agency "forgot" to mention it in the PLF that's a leverage that could be used
There's also the issue of the immigration department seemingly not properly scrutinizing the application, as well as Djokovic lying on the application forms.

But most likely this is all an intentionally concocted distraction from government's failings in the current outbreak.
That's maybe a good argument for a product manager, but very poor one for the end users.

Users don't like slow and bloated. Given equal choice users prefer small and fast. Of course, they are okay with Spotify client, because there's no native Spotify client with the same functionality. People want to have the service, but don't think that everyone is okay with how this service is packaged.
Anything you can represent in a parse tree is an s-expression the point was during the discussions of SPKI we talked about using canonical s-expression notation rather than ASN.1 to represent the TBS and other structural forms. SPKI used them. It stood in contradistinction to X.509 in ASN.1

If my memory serves me right Kent and others argued for continuance of ASN.1 to keep alignment with the CCITT/ITU on standards docs.

This was a long time ago. Around rfc3270 days so early 2000s. My memory is hazy and my email archive off-line.

All objects in RPKI are in ASN.1 as are SNMP. I only have to deal with the former these days.
> obey rules applying to everyone for the greater cause of society?

Sounds like communism. No cause can be considered greater than freedom.

> No matter what you argue beyond, the epidemiological aspect is now not really the point here anymore. He faked stuff

He should be investigated for faking then and expelled/imprisoned/fined by a court if evidence proves him guilty.

> second test was just created so he counts as recovered, which was the requirement to get in if not vaccinated

Just test him antibodies/T-cells + PCR and you know if a person used to be sick and recovered. No necessity for speculation here. Presence of immunity (which one only get through overcoming the sickness or a vaccine) is an objective thing. Is it not?

I would also suggest introducing a law sentencing people who falsely claim they are immune or expose others to a risk of being infected any other way to serve a sentence aiding in a hospital taking care of infected people.
Sure, but the US probably doesn’t need to have (one of the?) highest prison populations per capita in the world.
"rest of the world" being you, apparently.
Establish clear boundaries. Before WFH, you didn't have to do this because your commute / physical presence at home / office did that for you. Now you have to do it yourself.

Keep a clear schedule when you're on the clock / off the clock. Work in a separate space (if you can / have one available). Lay out ground rules with your spouse / housemates when you can / can't be disturbed due to work. Clock in / out at the same times you did when you worked at the office. Use the time you'd spend commuting to take a walk before / after work: helps mark the transition between work / personal time. Personally, I close my laptop at the end of the day, get in the kitchen and start cooking dinner.

Sure, WFH sounds attractive and there's the implicit promise that you can flexibly combine work with family life. But let's just admit that there are hard limits here.

For instance, if you're still expected to be in meetings at 4PM, like in the old days, you just can't ensure your spouse you'll be able to pick up the kids from daycare / school every day.

For instance, WFH has moved the office space into the digital realm with tools like Zoom, Teams, Slack, etc. But none of that implies you're now magically available at 9PM to answer any messages.

It's up to you to set boundaries and enforce them. Yes, some people may not always like that. Frankly, they aren't you and they aren't living your life. Don't burn yourself up to keep everyone else warm.
