“Many people with ADHD find it easier to stay focused on housework, homework, bill paying, and other tasks when someone else is around to keep them company.”

Not true for me!

If anything the reverse is true!

With my ADHD I also get a form of rejection sensitivity dysphoria, so worry I’m being judged or watched.

Not with everything. Just somethings, and mostly my desk based work.

I like silent rooms away from people.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying but the evidence that Obamacare ballooned healthcare expenses isn't there.

Obamacare also has a huge positive impact besides just access to healthcare. For instance I couldn't have started a startup without it, and it's much easier to hire contract workers because of it.
The outcome (SCOTUS decision) did not decide whether the interface was copyrightable or not. It decided that if the interface were copyrightable, it'd be fair use anyway, so there's no need to bother resolving that question.
The Sega Genesis mini consoles are great - the problem was there's no sports games. I realize there's licensing issues and all that, but sports games was one of the biggest things that the Genesis had over the SNES.
You got my vote! Now what about the college book pricing issues. One semester I paid for my books cost more than the classes I took. It was that bad. Even worse was that the book companies ensure you need the access code to the online portal in order to do anything. This ensures the used book market is nonexistent
The kettle might come out around the same for particularly dirty grids, but my understanding is that induction stoves are efficient enough (and gas stoves so poor efficiency) that it's basically always better CO₂-wise to use the induction hob.

Your assumption that "the cost of transportation is approximately equal for gas and electricity" is probably not accurate, given that while the infrastructure costs are probably similar, the cost of the energy used in the compressors to pipe the gas around is likely quite a bit higher than transmission losses (around me at least, the service fees on the bill if you have gas were at least 50% higher than electricity last I heard).

You really don't want to be getting much of your heating from a gas stove (or unflued gas heater) not just because of the possibility of carbon monoxide formation, but because NOx and SOx produced by burning gas is actually a health risk (primarily asthma for kids, cardiovascular for adults).
Not OP. Fed stops raising the benchmark rate. Until it plateaus, asset prices have room to fall. Days listed is a great indicator of mispriced real estate (higher # = asking too much). Those needing to sell will drive declining comps.

Rates are expected to peak at 4.5% to 4.75% in 2023, according to the Fed’s own projections (and might go as high as 5%).
From perspective of managing life, work and schedules across globally distributed teams ... there is already enough mental overhead to schedule workday, meetings etc across timezones.

I really wish the concept of Daylight Savings is done away with globally. If a particular profession, organization, or person needs to run on a different schedule -- they are very welcome to shift THEIR office/availability hours around twice an year or as often as they want.
Same for me! I installed gentoo on an old laptop without internet and had so much fun traversing the filesystem. My favorite discovery was xneko.
I couldn't agree more with your second point. But we'd need some sort of safety net for the humanities or else basically all but a few hollywood-feeding schools would drop them. Right now they're bloated and giving worthless credentials to kids for intersectional harry potter phd theses, but it would be good to keep the cores of the departments alive (if there's anything left).
Yeah that does seem a little low. US News and World report has average in-state tuition at $10,423/yr [1]

This is fake. The article switches part-way through from claiming a 10x improvement in range, which would be a transformative breakthrough but which would fundamentally require doing something other than storing hydrogen gas in a pressure vessel, to talking about about improvements in the fuel cell, which is not the bottleneck for hydrogen-vehicle range. Hydrogen continues to not be a viable fuel for cars, because it isn't dense enough.

Do you have any information about how old versions of Mac OS receive security updates? As far as I'm aware, I don't really see any updates come through in the regular update section of the settings. It might've happened if there was some ridiculous vulnerability... But I otherwise don't think I've seen any general security updates show up (even after newsworthy events).

Also I keep asking this and keep getting 0 or bad answers. When people say web browsers, and specifically JavaScript, are to blame for almost all security issues -- What specifically are you referring to?

In almost every case I've looked into, what happens is somebody downloads some sort of file that is actually an .exe. Like TaylorSwiftGreatestHits.mp3.exe for example. It's almost always on a very old Windows version that has literally never done any updates.

Sometimes some JavaScript initiates the download of this file. When this then makes the news and is finally reported, the entire fault is explained as "JavaScript" or "Internet Browser" fully automated bug that requires 0 user input.

In reality, the user downloads the .exe and is prompted by Windows security to not run this file. They say run it anyway.
Windows says the file was still not run for some security reasons. So the user disables the entire security system.
Then the file says it must be run with administrator rights. They then run it once again with admin rights. Finally, X bug happens or is initiated.

This is constantly the ONLY actual event I come across where there is some crazy vulnerability. I have literally never seen something that's not this situation.

Back to my original question, if this is NOT actually the case, and there is verifiable information from any reasonably competent computer person, let me know so I can finally learn more.
Google’s interview process is not based on memorization in the same way Facebook’s is (or at least was when I worked there 3 years ago).

Facebook makes zero effort to retire questions that have leaked on Leetcode and similar sites, so memorization really does give you a huge advantage. All the coding questions I regularly asked people were literally on the “Facebook” section on Leetcode.

Any number of things. These are just like regular desktop monitors, just virtual. You can have an IDE open on one, a browser on another, email on another. Or whatever you normally use a monitor for.

High-Performance Transparent Radiative Cooler Designed by Quantum Computing
Can anyone comment on why the author suggests to “DISABLE C2 error correction” beyond his assertion that most drives just don’t do it well? Does it impede the process and/or actually produce inferior rips? Or is it just that in the vast majority of ripping outcomes, C2 error correction makes little to no difference ? (and might perhaps even cause issues?)

There's a question around whether people actually want a higher supply of quality institutions, or simply more access to the high-end ones that everybody is competing over. The latter would be self-defeating, because by definition they would no longer be elite or luxury.

What would happen if suddenly hundreds of additional institutions as good as MIT, Stanford and Harvard appeared out of thin air in the US?

Wouldn't we quickly revert back to the current state of things, once US News and marketers figured out a way of creating another "Top 100" hierarchy of schools, with parents shoving their kids into violin practice, water polo and building-orphanages-in-Nicaragua photo ops to make it into the new top 5 luxury brand name universities?

The scarcity IS the product of these institutions. This is the nature of positional goods.
> The finger I use for that is different from the screen one.

So... you don't hold your phone with your other fingers? ;)
CD-ROM doesn't have this problem because it introduced a different error correction mechanism with more overhead.

It's been a while since I've looked at the standards in detail but I believe that involves another layer on top of the layer of error correction that CD-Audio has.
> Think about gaming alone. Think about sitting on an airplane with three 50” monitors overlaid with your vision, where you can actually code, or do whatever.

The common feature of metaverse bulls seems to be asserting without evidence that pixel density will increase massively from its current state, such that emulating several monitors will be viable.

I see no reason to believe this is true. It’s not the case that all technology you can imagine will eventually exist. Things always level off eventually, which is why I don’t have a 10 GHz processor today.
BaaS - books as a service. I am noticing that whenver "as a Service" is suffixed to X, it becomes far less useful and far more expensive than X was originally.
Let's not be abstract here. The content in question was child sexual abuse photographs. Those are illegal almost everywhere (I do not know of any exceptions).

Most people think those should be illegal to distribute or intentionally possess. I think that; there is a victim who suffered real harm, which is compounded by distribution of images of their abuse. Perhaps you do not, but you'll probably find that opinion falls under PG's "What You Can't Say".
Fascinating! Perhaps the woodcut illustrations of Mantegna, a renaissance Italian painter?

I did not find a book of fables of Mantegna’s illustrations, but I did find a painting of a fable (The Boy and the Filberts). It is possibly credited to Aesop, but not confirmed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_and_the_Filberts

Also worth nothing: During the same period and area, another artist named Verona illustrated a book of Aesop’s fables: “It was also in Verona that the first illustrated edition of the fables of Aesop was published in 1479 (21.4.3), with woodcuts designed by Liberale da Verona, one of the city’s leading painters.” (https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/wifb/hd_wifb.htm)

Do you recall any of the stories or characters in the book you read? Or anything about the book that left an impact on you?
> Highly recommend this approach if you are stuck with gas.

My partner, who cooks more, bemoans that our new apartment has electric. Grew up using gas and claims that it’s better for cooking. I prefer not to intentionally dump gas into our house and welcome the minor benefit of energy efficiency.

Funny how different people see the world (and technology).

Every single thing I own and need to function on a daily basis (other than my immersion water boiler for otg-espresso) operates on USB. Preferably type-c, but plenty of things still need a USB-A-to-C in the mix because resistors are hard, I guess.

Yes, kids in baseball love to emulate every little thing they see big leaguers do. That's why in the 1980s and '90s Big League Chew was huge, but maybe parents thought it was a little too much like chewing tobacco and they sought a healthier alternative. Sun flower seeds are ideal since they're healthy and their consumption doesn't result in a bunch of littering.

I like to iterate on ideas and flesh them out a bit. Many learn the hard way through trial and error and sometimes find their idea is not compatible with the world, or even needed at scale. It might work in their home town (New cafe needs to be opened, gap-in-the-market type stuff, but hardly Starbucks scale).
I upvoted you because I agree overall, but it’s absolutely wrong that VR isn’t good for games. The first time I played a game in VR was a mind-blowing experience.
People went to college before the guaranteed "right" to go to college. It was also more affordable then - for some strange reason.

Removing government help won't end the college dream... but it might, in time - since it took time to get this fucked up - restore some semblance of reasonable to the equation.

Electric Mopeds sit in a middle-ground, with more power, higher top speeds than ebikes but more restrictive licensing rules.

For example, an ebike in Europe is speed limited to 25kph, and just small motors that can only output 250W.
Good thing too, because if you drink demineralised water it pulls electrolytes out of your cells (I think by osmosis) and eventually you also end up with decreasing bone density.

Yeah and for Nike I think that'd be true here too. But for, say, Wired? Probably more active/useful.

That's the biggest corporate comms use of Twitter anyways, outside "Twitter as support short line" which is honestly both incredibly obnoxious and really unfair to users not on Twitter so I think it's a good thing it might die.
The big publisher business model is the "Disney Vault" model - i.e. own the backlog, but be really stingy about selling it so you can control the narrative about the work. The goal is to get as many new works as possible published, then kill them early so that dedicated fans will stew about it.

Sure, not everyone actually believes this. The MBAs surely are just calculating how much they lost off the last print run and deciding to mothball the book. But they can't have writers clawing back rights, because then that makes them competition, and the pesky thing about writers is that they'll invest their own money into rescuing a failing work. What if they win? We can't have that.

Ergo, the large publishers become a machine that eats literature so nobody can have it.
Thanks for digging into that study and providing the extra context.

You make a great point that Australian elections, even with the informal votes, have a greater quantity of voter expressions, and also a greater quality of expressions, since the ranking provides more fine-grained data about the voter's wishes (for those voters who can effectively wield that vote). That is the beginning of quite a compelling argument that the Australian electoral system probably, in practice, produces better outcomes than FPTP in the US, even with the additional losses it incurs due to its complexity.

I also admit that we don't really have data on how many of those 32% of electorates actually would be affected in practice, for the reasons you mention (which is why I went with the slightly "safe" language of "as many as a third of seats"), since this is an upper bound, but it is a worryingly high upper bound for something we want the public to have confidence in.

What I probably disagree with most in your comment is the dismissive or derisive tone you take towards "those that didn't pay attention to detail". On a forum like this, it's probably a relatively popular idea that those who are the most intelligent and well-informed and have the best attention to detail, should have the most say in running the country, but it's actually a dangerously corrosive idea. Instead, we should be using our intelligence to design systems that are resilient to user error, and that have the maximal probability of picking the correct winner, while putting the smallest cognitive burden on the voter, who should be entitled to equal protection and equal representation under the law (even if those ideals are far from being met in multiple aspects of civic life).
ebikes have power limits or speed limits depending on the country.
The difference is in the on-road experience. With this you are classified as a motor vehicle and can expect to keep up with and maneuver through road speed traffic.

That's actually what pedal-assist restrictions are all about, clearly delineating the bicycles from the motorbikes. This also manages expectations for users. You shouldn't expect to play in traffic at 60+kmph as a cyclist, and you shouldn't expect to be riding your much heavier, much faster electric moped on bike paths.

The form factors can make that line blurry, you could totally have a bicycle that can do 60+ and you could easily have a moped that looks small enough to be a bicycle. Hence the regulations to clear up any confusion.

From a personal exprience point of view, I would expect to be able to comfortably wear leathers and a moto helmet and not negatively impact the ride. On a pedal assist bicycle there is no way I am wearing leathers and because of that I don't want to be going 60-80kmph in traffic unprotected, I want to be on seperated bike paths.

> It's a binary state, either the drive is functional and the CD in decent condition

No. How good the drive is at reading marginal discs varies a lot between drives.

The problem is, these populations are not identical disks, and the error rates are low enough that we're not really sure we're seeing a good metric of this.
(Apologies in advance for embracing the off-topic tangent.)

What you quoted from the article: "Most people under the age of 70 who are in reasonably good health should be safe"

For someone anti-vax, his own choice of words is odd. Most? Reasonably? Should? Is this supposed to be a compelling formulation of their argument? It's astounding to me that anti-vax arguments are so often laced in ambiguity and "principles", i.e. emotions which cosplay as rationality.

Whereas a properly rational and evidence-driven argument is just so straightforward. Your chances of avoiding infection are slim and ever-diminishing. The disease has a non-zero risk of complications/hospital resource dependency/death for people of all ages. The vaccines have a statistically significant impact on outcomes and an utterly spectacular safety track record. End of argument.
Programmers work with text all day. We think of that text we work with as the subject matter very often and that sparks lively debates.

There could also be an element of tradition; prestigious institutions and individuals, like Bell Labs, Donald Knuth and Apple, have devoted significant resources to typesetting and publishing, so an appreciation for typography could be seen as a marker of sophistication from that.

And lastly we must often have some working knowledge of the design of user interfaces at some point in our careers, and you need to have some notions of typography to be effective at that.

Long-time Mac user here -- by that I mean, I use my Macs for a long time. Long, long after Apple supports them. My Mac Pro 4,1 is a daily driver. I replaced my 2011 MacBook Pro with a ThinkPad only this year. I have strong feelings on this, but I'll say only two things:

1) Apple breaks more with each OS update than they offer in terms of features. I own Photoshop CS4 for personal use. It works great. At work, they pay for a subscription for the latest Adobe software and its crashy, screen-flickery, garbage. CS4 just works -- but that means I have to stay on Mojave, and that means I'm sticking with my Mac Pro. Same for the version of Final Cut I have. Same for my back catalog of fun games... and I dual boot Snow Leopard for some of the really old ones.

2) All complaints about Windows here are valid, but I have apps from the 3.1 era that run on modern hardware on Windows 11. Compared to Microsoft track-record, Apple shouldn't even be considered a stable OS platform provider. They make nice hardware; they're increasingly making a dumbed-down OS that's only redeeming characteristic is that it can run all the common browsers and has a nice shell built in.

So far the mortgage rates skyrocketing corresponds to an equivalent mortgage that is about 35% lower. Meaning that if you could previously afford a $1 million mortgage, you can now only afford about a $650,000 mortgage with the same payment.

If you don't see a corresponding price drop of 35% then it might be too early.
