> but you seem to have some misunderstanding about what ADHD is. It is not the inability to concentrate on things. It is the inability to concentrate on _appropriate_ things.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply and clarify things but I would like to say I have a pretty good understanding of ADHD. As I have mentioned my son was diagnosed with ADHD a couple of years ago. I go with him to every appointment and support groups we are in. I have spent dozens of hours with his doctor, psychologists, etc. to try and learn as much as possible about ADHD to support him as best I can and to ensure I can get the support he needs in school.

My comment about the other family member not being able to concentrate on a crossword was more a summation of the issue not a specific example. He has always been an intelligent guy, he wasn't gifted nor did he need to push himself extra hard to succeed. He never had issues concentrating on "boring" tasks for all the time I have known him (30+ years at this point). Sure he was never super engaged with them (who would be?) but he didn't get lost in procrastination.

What I mean is these are all very new things for him. Even for things he used to love such as games he cannot find the "mental energy" (as he puts it) to play. To begin with I put this down to his injury and while his hand will never be as good as it was he can use it "fine" for such things now. He just has no interest. No interest in anything. Basically all he wants to do is just sit on the computer and mindlessly consume. He stopped coding, stopped playing games, stopped reading, not taking his drone out, stopped doing some 3D stuff in Blender, stopped watching the kind of shows he used to love, etc. Pretty much the only thing he does still do that he did before is go to gigs. And perhaps this is unfair of me but I suspect that is because he always takes some drugs while there.

What I mean is he had a large change in personality over the past two years since the attack, not just his executive functioning.

Now it is very possible he always had ADHD but like many he managed to cope with it via systems he developed and perhaps the attack (or the pandemic) caused those systems to fail him and maybe just medication will help him. My worry is that he has some other issues and for one reason or another he convinced himself it is ADHD and only ADHD.

This is a concern his wife also shares and we have discussed. When she has suggested therapy he dismisses it as "not something that works for him" (even though he has never actually had any to validate that claim). It is a tricky subject and he is now sure he is "fixed" as his concentration is indeed better as he is taking some kind of amphetamine 4 times a day, however his wife has told me there is no improvement in any other areas which she is worried will lead to a crash at some point.
Sadly there's a huge resistance from the population and local municipalities to build high-rises. The municipalities usually have some rule that no building can be taller that the the old clock tower that virtually every town and city in the Netherlands have, this limits building height to about 70 meters. Then there's those people who will live in the shadow for 30 minutes and complain that this lowers their house price since they get less sunshine on their balconies or terraces. Then you have a faction that want every new building to look like a traditional building (2-3 stories tall made of bricks). Then there's the fact that towns and cities are very old, so you have these people who want to preserve the look at all cost.

The trillion-dollar question is whether the slower growth rate is just a temporary blip, or the beginning of a paradigm shift.

I don't think anyone knows for certain, but anecdotally, I have found there's (1) more skepticism about the cost savings promised by cloud providers and (2) a growing realization that the financial incentives of cloud providers are not aligned with those of customers.

In the early days of cloud providers, their services were both easy-to-use and cost-effective for many growing companies. Now, cloud providers offer what I'd describe as a "giant hairball" of specialized services, built on top of other specialized services, built on top of yet other specialized services... such that no single person can comprehend all of them, let alone manage them cost-effectively. Moreover, as all these intertwined services become deeply entrenched in IT infrastructure, migrating away from them becomes incredibly disruptive. The more a customer is sucked and trapped inside those giant hairballs, the better for the cloud providers. To paraphrase the Dark Knight, cloud providers may have been the heroes at first, but they have lived long enough to become the villains.
I completely agree, My mom has been concerned that my teenage step sister and her peers almost all identify as non binary, but it seems like they’ve built a happy high school experience around sharing that. Whether or not they identify as non binary for life seems inconsequential if it serves them now, but I’m kinda excited by the younger generation just being like nah to gender

Here's one little trick to quickly estimate the fuel you need to get to 99.9% of the speed of light.

You take the rocket equation and replace the velocity with the "rapidity", which is the inverse hyperbolic tangent of the velocity expressed as a percentage of the speed of light. That sounds like a mouthful, but you can actually estimate this in your head.

The inverse hyperbolic tangent is 1/2 log((1+x)/(1-x)). If you plug in 0.999, you get 1/2 log( 1.999/0.001), which is indistinguishable from 1/2 log(2000). If you ever did rough estimates with logarithms, you know that you only need to remember 2 logarithms, log(2) and log(10). They are 0.7 and 2.3, so log(2000) is roughly 0.7 + 6.9 = 7.6, and half of that is 3.8.

You now apply the classical (non-relativistic) rocket equation as if the final velocity is 3.8 times the speed of light (which is 300000 km/s). That's about 1 million kilometers per second.

If you use the best chemical propellants, you can reach an exhaust velocity of about 5 km/s, so the ratio is about 200000. You take exponential of that, and that's how much fuel you need for each unit of cargo you want to ship. You need to use some multiple precision library, because with normal (double) precision floating point numbers, you will get an overflow if you try to do exp(200000).

But let's say you want to use the VASIMIR engine, that reaches (theoretical) exhaust velocities of 100 km/s. Then your ratio will only be 10000. Exp(10000) is still out of reach of normal numerical libraries.

The even more theoretical fragment fission rocket engine reaches exhaust velocities of 10000 km/s. Now we get Exp(100) which is about 3 followed by 43 zeros. If you want to accelerate a space capsule weighing one ton to 99.9% the speed of light, you need that many tons of fuel (assuming a 100% efficient fragment fission rocket). That's a bit unfortunate, because it exceeds by a few orders of magnitude the mass of all the stars and planets in the galaxy.

Third one is probably extracted from the last two and colored by personal experience. I would tend to agree with the author though "appalling" is a little too strong. When I had a professor who was very obviously on the spectrum the class was often difficult due to either communication issues or assumptions about student skill level. It's not a universal truth, of course, but common enough in my Math and CS classes many of them were often frustrating to take. Stereotypes are often built in reality and while the author's language was strong I don't think the greater point they are making is necessarily wrong, nor unsupported by science as you seem to suggest.

> Plus, practically, a 1:70 tail event is usually outside a regulator's tolerance for preparation too.

It was the 3rd such event in 32 years. From the wiki article:

"In 2011, Texas was hit by the Groundhog Day blizzard between February 1 and 5, resulting in rolling blackouts across more than 75% of the state.[26] Many roads around Houston were impassable, and boil-water advisories were issued in several areas.[27] Following this disaster, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation made several recommendations for upgrading Texas's electrical infrastructure to prevent a similar event occurring in the future, but these recommendations were ignored due to the cost of winterizing the systems.[28] At the time the blackouts and failures in the power grid were likened to those that occurred in December 1989, after which similar recommendations were made to the state government and ERCOT, which were similarly ignored."

> What are the best resources to learn the fundamentals?

There’s no substitute for running the gauntlet yourself. ;) The best way to learn the fundamentals is to do it and make mistakes, but you can prepare, and you can keep learning; try to always stay open minded during this bumpy ride.

Learn as much as you can about the perspective that VCs have, and how they work and how they think. If at all possible, find some VCs to talk to who you’re not pitching to. Nothing will help you more than this, if you want to raise VC money. They generally don’t care very much about your technology or understand it or get excited by it, and a few one hour meetings won’t change that. They, like you, are having an exchange with you over money, and they are motivated to learn about your tech enough to see if you have an advantage over other companies. Some VCs are playing the odds, and others believe in their investments.

Pay the most attention to whether VCs can help you with anything other than money. Networking, business and marketing advice, and even technical issues (consider that some might know a lot about your competition, and that some can help you with thing like patent filing.)

> How much should we aim to raise and at what valuation?

Start with : how much do you need to be profitable? You might not know, but you should take a real effort stab at estimating it (which could take weeks or months to research, depending on how far along you are). How quickly do you need to raise money? How long can you go without any investment? How long can you go with investment? How many people do you need in 2 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years…? How many times do you expect to raise money? How much of the company are you willing to sell?

Last time I was pitching, the best investors I talked to told me I wasn’t asking for enough money, because they could easily see it didn’t give me enough growth and runway to succeed or even make it to the next round.

> How to show financial projections in a field that evolves at such a breakneck speed?

FWIW, this question is a red flag. Your business plan needs to be able to succeed in spite of technology’s progress, and you need to be truly confident about that by understanding how you’ll weather new technologies and smart companies that adopt new technologies. If you view technology as a risk, then VCs will look at it that way too. BTW, technology is (of course) always a risk in a tech company, but look around for how successful companies deal with this and make their business depend primarily on people and not technology, and take note of how many tech businesses are not running on the latest developments in their field. VCs might be happiest if you have some kind of unfair advantage that cushions and buffers you against technology risks.

Wikipedia doesn't have to deal with opinion, humor, etc. It needs to enforce objectivity by having standards around sources of information.

Social media has to deal with something more ambiguous.
a broader set of responsibilities doesn't necessarily equate to more work. in my experience there's no correlation at all between the scope, intensity, and exploitativeness of work

i agree entirely with the substance of your post and don't understand how it conflicts with the substance of mine. i hold to the same standards i laid out whether i'm working for a boss or working with a co-op or other worker-self-directed group

If you want to delve into the history of EIC (and you should, esp. if you’re interested in how Northern Europe’s tremendous growth was fueled) I suggest reading The Anarchy by Dalrymple. It has great detail but also vey well written and engaging (qualities usually hard to combine in history books).
I mean yeah, this is a pretty big own-goal for Musk, but someone made damn sure that purchase contract heavily favored Twitter with no wiggle room for Musk, and you can bet it wasn't Musk's lawyers. At minimum the Twitter exec team had the foresight to know Musk wasn't reliable and lock him down.

> it wasn't trying to destroy the myth or somehow take down the artist

The only unified theory that seems to hold is that the artist himself doesn't want the myth or the artist. He likes music, he makes music, and he has occasionally given extra attention to his lyrics, but on the whole doesn't work his lyrics the way we typically expect a poet to do.

From the article, quoting "Don't Look Back":

“I got nothing to say about these things I write,” he informs the interviewer. “I don’t write them for any reason. There’s no great message. I mean, if, you know, you wanna tell other people that, go ahead and tell them, but I’m not going to have to answer to it.”
The only currency we really have is time and that can’t be banked or stored, only spent wisely or foolishly.

Choosing when to convert time to money is important but also recognizing when you can convert money to time.

That's not a scientific statement. He's broadly characterizing a type of person he sees in the field who lacks empathy.

His use of "on the spectrum" could be considered offensive (similar to "retarded"), depending on whether you read it as him calling them that or read it as him describing what they call themselves. But the problem is not "good science."
This. Exactly this.

Once 'news' sources started publishing anything that pushes their own agenda, a great amount of democracy was lost.

> so maybe it's not that simple?

It is that simple. Autistic people have the ability to empathize, but have difficulty recognizing social cues that would ordinarily result in an expression of empathy.

The paper is obscuring this simplicity in jargon. Colloquially, people mostly interpret the term "empathy" in the sense of "the ability to empathize". Thus, when people overload "empathy" to ambiguously mean "the ability to empathize" or "the ability to recognize when to empathize", and then other people assert that "autistic people lack empathy", it produces the misconception that autistic people lack the ability to empathize. And since "the lack of ability to empathize" is associated with sociopathy, this produces the harmful misconception that autistic people are sociopaths. I have met people who have suffered this misconception and are surprised to learn that autistic people have feelings!
- Nixon felt that tight Fed policy caused him to lose the 1960 election, he appointed Arthur Burns with instructions for loose policy, and whenever Burns was tighter than desired, he planted stories to pressure the Fed.

- I wouldn't characterize Volcker as a 'lone hero', Carter appointed Volcker and Reagan reappointed him. there was political support for tight policies and fighting inflation. Volcker did a fantastic job maintaining that support and credibility with money supply targeting, and relaxing money supply targeting when it was leading to excessive tightness and overshooting.

- The Phillips curve may not be wrong in that strong demand leads to acceleration in inflation, however it is hard to measure, and there is a distinction between the short-run tradeoff and a much steeper or vertical long-run tradeoff. You can temporarily get higher GDP by tolerating higher inflation, but then expectations adjust and you need more and more inflation for the same GDP boost.

- there was a lot of weird stuff going on in the 70s with oil, farm prices, petrodollar recycling and emerging markets, loss of confidence in US leadership after Vietnam, extended dollar weakness. sometimes when it rains it pours, inflation expectations become self-fulfilling.

- high and variable inflation is really bad for asset prices. it makes investing more risky. growth stocks like tech are bets about a farther away future, as opposed to present earnings, so it's worst of all for them. beta for stocks is kind of like duration for bonds, anything with a high multiple is a long-term bet on continued growth.

- the Fed really wants to see slightly positive real rates, reasonable wage growth adjusted for productivity. otherwise they think they are behind the curve. with inflation this high, real wages are declining so that's bad for consumers and demand. and yet a Taylor rule means rates still need to go a lot higher, so that's why people think there's a risk Fed will overshoot and tip US into a recession.

Does raise an interesting question, though: Is it the teachers' or the parents' responsibility to teach manners to a child? Isn't this something that you'd pick up at home first, before ever stepping a foot into an institutionalized pedagogical setting?

Perhaps instead of suing the entire school district, GP should rather sue the parents of the offending child? /s

To remove the tongue from the cheek, though, and provide some anecdata in the same breath, let me say that I have a number of close friends who are teachers; their constant complaint is that the children reach school already too spoiled (in the rude and egocentric sense). Which apparently gets worse every year.

It's easier to make a case for a society-wide pandemic of negligent upbringing by parents who - goes without saying - are under-educated in child rearing, lack the traditional support networks ("it takes a village to raise a child") and generally overburdened by life's other demands. The children then get passed over to underpaid and overworked teachers (and overflowing classrooms), where the egos of the little cute monsters clash, occasionally loudly and physically, more frequently in passive-aggressive, bullyish manners.

But yeah, "back in mah day..."
Undiagnosed mental health issues such as being lazy and unmotivated? There's lots of people like that out there. For that matter, the formal mental health field can hardly be said to have a monopoly on soulcraft. Seeking wisdom and striving to improve one's core state of being are practices as old as man himself.
As I note elsewhere, the U.S. unemployment rate dropped from 10.8% in 1982 (3.8% inflation) to 6.6% in 1986 (1.1% inflation).. so, inflation plunged while employment boomed... doesn't that completely upset that argument?

Looking through the data, this doesn't really look like an outlier. The 1950s also had low unemployment and low inflation. (Note also that official unemployment numbers don't count the long-term unemployed, so there's some uncertainty in this data). See the following unemployment vs. inflation table:
