For diagnosis, my impression for adults is that it's usually in effect a self-diagnosis with the doctor rubber-stamping the request. Some doctors are probably more free with it than others, but I haven't heard of a situation where it was more strenuous a screening than asking a series of questions, where it was very obvious which answers were the "yes, I have ADHD" answers. So basically if you believe that you have ADHD, you can get yourself a diagnosis for it.
Besides you guys, who else is doing something like this?
@everyone, I guess there are a lot of reasons to not try.
Starting a company wasn't the issue. It's more that for-profit education has a bad reputation (think University of Phoenix). There was some initial concern/confusion.
I find the use of kickstarter more interesting than the tool. Perhaps this is because I generally wake up when my kid starts screaming, rather than when my body tells me it's time.
Amazing this got by Steve Jobs! But I think we're missing that it's a parody of the old movie industry.
Yeah, I'm starting to think none of them are going to happen now.

If you already have experience, but not a portfoio, I'd recommend targeting dev firms in your area for first-time clients. Here's why:

1) While I found most non-technical folks seeking freelancers to prefer a portfolio over a resume, the same wasn't true for dev firms. They usually have technical
staff on board, so even though I lacked a portfolio at the time, they still recognized my technical accomplishments and background (whereas my non-technical clients really don't understand that stuff, they'd rather see a portfolio).

2) Many make use of contractors at a regular frequency, so if you're able to hook up with one, or a few, they'll help provide steady work during the early times.

3) Since they provide steady work, you don't have to concentrate as much on networking or marketing yourself. You'll eventually have to worry about that stuff, but when you're starting out you have so many other things to worry about. Dev firms help defer that burden, or at least keep the work coming while you figure that stuff out.

Best of luck. Freelancing can be tough when you start out, but very rewarding once you get into a good rhythm.

Was it the asbestos that allegedly killed 22 people, or was it the asbestos removal effort - against Claude's advice - that did so? Given that he objected in 1996 and the article claiming some number of deaths and injury was written in 2007, the timing works with either interpretation...
For me, it has an orange to gray background gradient, not a white background.
Honestly, if anyone has an issue with any of these points, why are they using Facebook in the first place?
It's not surprising if you understand academic politics. If you go to many research presentations, you'll be amazed to see people openly deriding the presenter's work to their face. Collaboration is something valued by people who greatly depend on others. So it's normal for most people to think that collaboration is something that is desirable, and it is for the average person. If you are trying to be the world's leading expert in something that no one else understands, depending on others will be an avenue of attack for your detractors. It is far better for a very capable person to take on market forces rather than internal politics.
There are two basic flavors of "old guy" in tech. We've all worked with the ex-mainframe guy who still thinks at a punchcard pace and never really wrapped his head around all this web stuff. He liked his old, stable job at Epson because they had good benefits and a pension plan, but then the economy took a downturn and now he's on your team. Many of us have worked with the other type too, with 40 years of kicking ass under his belt, who can code you under the table in javascript and ruby as easily as he can in C (or FORTRAN if he feels like messing with you).

As you make your way through this world, you get to choose which of those types you'd like to become. If you don't want the New York Times to write sympathy articles about you, I'd suggest going with the latter route.
Database engineering is serious business, and pretty staid, NoSQL notwithstanding.
The background gradient is a bit ugly and the bright colours don't really fit in with Apples' typical look and feel.

I don't think it would be considered to be that bad if it was produced by most people. The problem is, Apple are leaders in the field of design and frequently looked up to by designers to produce the very best.
That's self-fulfilling. Math lets you solve problems that you wouldn't even have though of as problems before. If you don't know the math, your brain skips over them as a fact of life rather than as something with a solution.

Programming doesn't require math because programmers don't necessarily know math, not because the opportunity isn't there.

"Certainly don't try jailbreaking it. Google? Can we talk about privacy policies?"

Could you explain that? I've been jailbreaking for, maybe five years now, and it's very easy. And I think Google's new privacy policies are an improvement over the old.

Maybe that's your point, but I'm not sure what you're getting at.
You get 40 hours

Then they shouldn't want to work at Google and Facebook. No one serious there works 40 hours per week. It's like Jamie Z said: the first wave at Netscape wanted to make the company great. The next wave, the one that ruined them, wanted to join because the company was great.

Make no mistake, people like the ones you describe -- listless ones who clock 40 hours while looking at the clock and describing every major shipping push as a "death march" -- are the ones you want to avoid like the plague.

If you want them to work more than that on a project, it's
your job to motivate them to do it.

An alternative and far more successful approach is to hire young guns who are intrinsically motivated.

You just don't want to hire people who want to (a) be highly paid and work at the best companies in the world but (b) work only 40 hours a week on projects that are so unambitious that they are guaranteed to ship with no tricky bits.
Sleep Cycle doesn't just time you. It uses the accelerometers to monitor your sleep phase and attempt to wake you up at an optimal time, just like this thing does.
Sounds like ambitions and greed have blurred together.
However, you will have to try real hard to do so.

This is coming back up again, because it's not so hard anymore.
Kind of reminds me of the intense blue/orange colorizing so many movies and TV shows get these days (Transformers and Fringe are two notorious examples).
It's actually hard to explain, the whole experience of going to the bookstore is valuable to me, looking at any page and feeling the book in my hands before buying it, having other books that don't really matter next to the ones I'm looking for is very interesting, it's a discovery thing.
Nothing interesting, per current spec. a and b both get 1 assigned to them, in V8, JSC, and current Spidermonkey, and the value of undefined doesn't change. Carakan seems to still implement the old spec version, so it assigns 1 to all three. The presence or absence of var is not relevant.

The only reason a and b get 1 assigned to them is that the value of an assignment expression is always the RHS, no matter what actually happens to the assignment. Since "undefined" on the global is readonly, the assignment itself is just silently ignored.

All this without strict mode, of course; in strict mode the assignment to undefined throws.

To get through college, while working, I used adderall and ritalin on and off as needed. I was floored when I first got on it, my doctor tried me on the ritalin patch at the highest dose (32 mg I think). I dropped down and was still amazed with how hard hitting this stuff was. Granted, people have different skin and uptake I am sure, but I couldn't imagine giving a kid a patch which basically made me feel like I had a 12 hour cocaine high. Yes, I plowed through work I couldn't of done in twice the time, but I was HIGH. I was able to understand how I felt, but the 12 year old that gets the same dose wouldn't...Yet their parents might think it's a wonder drug, since that kid would most likely be able to finally do their homework in one sitting.
Wikipedia has a picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jussieu_d%C3%A9samient%C3%...) of the facility during asbestos removal. Given that they've taken out everything but the metal frame of the building, I doubt many students were going to class in the building as they removed it.
The ethical question comes up because these won't be free. There's already a large and widening gap between those who have and those who don't. Particularly in America, who your parents are have a very large impact on your potential as an individual -- access to schools, materials, etc.

With a widening gap, would such a device further increase the gap between those who go on to be the "have's" vs. the "have nots"? Would this introduce a more substantial barrier to entry for the upper class? What if the device cost $1000? What if it cost $1000/month?

What would happen to society if 50% or more of society was structurally unable to move up in the class system? There is unrest today (occupy protests) and the common perception is that it isn't even a big problem in the US yet. How bad would it get if people actually thought it was as bad as it is? And then what if it got worse?

Any chance you could mirror your RSS feed on Twitter? (There are tools for that, too). I would follow, I just don't use an RSS reader atm.
I like the idea and the hardware, but the article was really offensive to me.

I design hardware for a living. To rephrase, I design hardware for money, aka PROFIT. So when I read something like "at the end of the day you are just passing along profit to the device makers." like that is somehow a bad thing, I'm not only irritated, I'm mystified.

I've been in the market for a tablet, but it won't be this one.
I'm 42 and have managed to survive 25 years professionally in the computer world, primarily as a software developer.

There is one, hard, fast rule for survival as a developer, and it has worked very well for me for years. I will share it with you:

Follow the platform. Programming is all about the hardware.

How does it work? Its simple - programming on Windows for x86? Get yourself a Mac and learn to hack on it in your spare time (by the way: no television or other sedentary 'entertainment' activities - entertain yourself by learning new things). Already a Mac code - get an iPhone, or learn Android. An iOS developer already? Android master already? Alright then, time to get a Beagleboard and do some Linux hacking. Already hacked on Linux? Get into CUDA. CUDA genius already - okay, how about some of that Cloud tech ..

There is no safety in platform mastery, because those platforms are like slippery barrels, spinning around and around, slowly sinking into redundancy. If you are employed for one platform, entertain yourself with learning to master another, newer or more interesting one.

This works, over and over.
I was laid off a year ago at age 37 and have not been able to get a job since, or even get many interviews. I think at this point I've applied to 77 jobs, heard back from 11, and have actually been phone screened by 5.

Most of my experience is in relatively "hot" technology at startups... I have three Rails sites I can point to and worked on an iPhone app with 3 million users, with a node.js and Redis backend. I have a github account. I've solved programming challenges from Facebook, interview street, spotify, etc. I don't think I'm a total slouch, and I've worked with guys FAR worse than I am. It's pretty painful to think about some of the duds that are still employed while I can't even get an interview.

People prescribe keeping skills relevant, but focusing on latest technologies can be a mistake. If I had more experience with Microsoft tech or J2EE I could probably pick up a boring job doing enterprise stuff somewhere in the midwest.

I thought I could always just pick up a job through my network, but a lot of guys my age who were friends at other companies are sort of checked out and are not in a position to hire. The younger guys I met I think just don't want to pull me in because they have plenty of younger friends they could hire first. A lot of tech hiring, especially at the startup level, is hiring guys that you want to be bros with. Generally, you aren't bros with guys 10 or 15 years older than you are.

I never thought I'd be one of the guys in the articles like this, so I'm not sure exactly what to do. I've been working on iPhone apps in my spare time, but at some point I am going to run out of money. It can get very depressing and does quite a number on one's mental health. You feel like you can't socialize because you should be looking for work, and not spending money. Your extended family and friends kind of abandon you because they think something must be wrong with you (maybe there is?). This anxiety and isolation makes it pretty hard to focus and I've been considering trying anti-depressant medications, just so I can finish off my apps. However, I have diminished confidence at this point that having finished iPhone apps will get me any money, or another job. I often feel like I should just stop wasting my time and try to get some sort of dangerous but high paying labor job, like an oil roughneck. Or maybe just move to some cheap developing nation and become some sort of ex-pat weirdo guy?

Another aspect of this, is that it seems kind of weird to even get a job stocking shelves at target, or something. Would they even hire me? Would it be worth it to make the 1400 a month?

I now have a lot of sympathy for the "99%" type people. Those Seth Godin and Friedman pieces about the new economy being no place for average workers are pretty much correct. I wouldn't say I'm a C player but I'd say I'm around a B+. Unfortunately, B+ and 35 or above computer programmer doesn't seem to cut it.

P.S. if anyone has any advice it would be pretty helpful to me and maybe others

I think the solution is to wake up on time without the aid of an alarm, not to get a fancy alarm. There is no need for alarms unless you are sleep deprived by children or not in tune with your body.
Love the idea. Will implement in next version.

How about the other million goods that are not fair trade? When are we gonna see "fair trade" those?

How about "fair trade" itself being a bullshit term, when the underlying conditions of "fair trade" producers are mostly as shit as non fair trade?
That doesn't matter -- it was already illegal in first place.

But the copyrightholders are the only ones who have the ability to make it legal -- but they have made their choice.
> If the end result is failure, the company goes bankrupt and the hiring manager no longer has the ability to hire.

This is NOT what I've seen, first hand.

Usually were talking about a series "X" round of funding. Hiring is scaled out. When the end result is a failure (many times over), usually you'll see someone like the VP of Engineering fired and replaced.

This does not equate bankruptcy.
The downside is that it diminishes the economic value of titles with long trailing demand, so books go out of print faster.

This reduces the economic value of copyright as well because although the publisher has a monopoly right to print and distribute the work, it has lost the economic incentive to make the work available; yet no one else can either.

Not if they think they can force those countries to tighten enforcement. I think these companies believe if they could just remove all the torrents from the web they'd get a sale for each torrent they stopped, whereas just making legit sales available will only capture a small portion of the potential market.

I seriously doubt that's the case, but it might make sense for them to go this way - the money they spend buying politicians isn't much in the great scheme of things. It might even be cheaper than setting up an efficient worldwide distribution system.
You know that you can't do double blind studies of stuff with such obvious effects, right? Anyone taking it instead of a sugar pill knows which pill they got.
"I like this idea, but I have to agree it would be unlikely for most people to pay $600 for a free-trade iPad when they can get the same thing for $500."

Then it should be made mandatory, so that no gadget could be sold in the market that is not made in fair trade conditions --even if it was made elsewhere. You should be competing on price by slashing your profit margins or finding some more efficient engineering/materials etc, not by turning wages and working conditions into a race to the bottom.

Technically easy, yes. But Global Bluetooth certification is prohibitively expensive. We chose to make it an iPhone accessory, because we think it makes a lot of sense to have a nightstand charging dock (which is where most of the cost comes from) and this wake-up feature in one device.
Building a portfolio is definitely worth your time.

Reach out to an open source project that needs a new website and offer your services for free, or make a simple online utility to show off what you can do, and open source that as well (open sourcing your products shows confidence in your code).

Software issues are delaying implementation of FAA’s NextGen initiative
I have switched from OS X, to Arch (2 months now full time?), so I'm not exactly coming from your angles, but I will say that every single piece of software I've ever needed has been in the main repos, and if it wasn't there, it was in the AUR.

What's fascinating is that AUR packages get voted up. Packages past a certain threshold get the choice to become a main repository package. Creating and maintaining community packages is a snap with their build system (though I've never done it personally, but understand the mechanism).

On top of that, re-building your kernel, should you ever need to (I did), is dead simple.

So to your main argument of more compromise, I believe it to be false. It's less compromise to me. I feel I have to compromise with an Ubuntu distro that has made all the choices for me (and for a client-services company at least, you'll come to the day where you need to know what those choices were). Now I have the power and ability to make the decisions I want to make, especially following the extensive wiki and super helpful forums (I feel like you could compare the helpful responses there with the type of intelligence that this community possesses).

To your final point, of the "just because I value things that help me learn Linux", this will absolutely help you learn Linux. And once you know it the Arch way, most of the other ways seem completely opaque. The standards of packages in Arch allow you to find all the important bits of all the software you installed. My company uses Arch for our servers as well because we know we can count on the standards and have up to date software that, for us, "just works".

It is a simple way to record your web browsing.

I have worked on that project for atleast 2-3 months. It does not look very good but it surely can be useful if put to right use.,

I have few options like

- Creating a reader through a browser extension specific to Wikipedia which will let users read long articles automatically

- Learning academy to let users create simple courses which will take subscribers of those courses through different online resources on the subject.
For example Advanced Rails course which will take users through documentation and some blog posts relevant to advanced subjects in Rails

- Let website owners create Demos for their websites without a need to create video. They will be mute walk-through videos

What are your thoughts? What approach would be best?

I second that. Meetups begat meetups and leads begat leads, you can contribute things to the conversation and show your experise (your oral portfolio). That is how I look for developers. Things will fall into place. You just have to get out there.

>Maintaining this model ensures Hulu is never going to be available outside the US, unless the whole local broadcast market completely collapses.

Can that time really be that far off? My impression is there's a huge demographic split between people who get shows on TV and people who get them on the internet. Granted, my friends are mostly tech types, but I don't know anybody who watches television in real time.

How long can the broadcast model survive if nobody is watching the commercials?
