I was wrong to bring up the blood brain barrier and the liver. My point is that an individual’s enzyme profile* is more relevant to dosing than whether or not they have ADHD, which seemed to me what you were implying here:

> One friend (into recreation drugs) took 40mg

> Another (prescribed) took 80mg

You can take someone undiagnosed with ADHD, give them 80mg and they could possibly not feel a thing. Likewise there are those who are prescribed low doses like 2.5mg.

It’s a pet peeve of mine the myths I’ve seen shared pervasively on SM:

1) getting high from a stimulant doesn’t preclude you from having ADHD. I know this is not what you said but I’ve read comments that literally state if you experience euphoria or other stimulating effects from Adderall, then you couldn’t have ADHD. That’s clearly not how ADHD is diagnosed. Therapeutic dose is all about minimizing those “side effects”

2) that certain people with ADHD cannot experience a stimulant high. That seems extremely dubious to me. Barring a higher dose of amphetamine or more straightforward meth, I’m sure if they can’t get it there then they could from MDA, MDMA, coke, DMT, mescaline, LSD or plain old THC… yes even from a psychedelic it’s a stimulant effect. It’s not the ADHD it’s the personal chemistry

* said enzymes exist in the brain, too, of course, I didn’t know that till I googled more

Edit: typo and format
Agree with your take. Recently helped install a heat pump at a single-family home (rental property) in the SF Bay Area. Actually, they aren't that much more expensive than AC's (mine cost about $9k for everything, but again, I did 35% of the work myself for a ducted 3 ton heat pump). And yeah, the installation is almost exactly the same as what you'd do for an AC.

And, you don't need to add insulation, but we did (to the crawlspace), costing about $2.5k

And, it's been running for about 3 months, and saved about ~$175/month in heating. wow. It'll pay for itself in about 7-8 years.

If you have a TLS MITM proxy configured and an attacker pwns the proxy, it’s pretty much game over. Forget access to the internal network: any host that has the MITM proxy’s certificate installed will trust it to view and modify all TLS traffic. This gets a free attack on all web origins without even compromising anything else. AWS console, check. Configuration of other corporate appliances, check. Everyone’s communication tools, check. And you get to replace anything downloaded by anything that doesn’t use certificate pinning.

That's the voluntary part. Voluntarily choosing to go back, when an entire family may depend on the income, is not that voluntary.

The indentured part is the extended commitment to a single employer, enforced by law, with clocks running all the time on the various phases.

The servitude part is the threat of deportation that hangs over the person if they dare to question workloads or treatment. Most places don't make this obvious, but they don't have to - it is an iron fist in a velvet glove.

Legality aside, I can understand how reading a short news article (especially when paying only via ad views) and then summarizing information that lots of people are probably interested in right at this moment is likely to be more detrimental to a writer's business model than reading an entire book (possibly after purchasing a copy) and then summarizing information that's likely to be less timely.

It's really not subtle. Both 1984 and Animal Farm are critiques of the Soviet Union from the left. Orwell fought on the side of the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War and the betrayal by the Soviet Union soured him on the prospect of its interpretation of communism. This doesn't even require reading his biography, he explicitly wrote about his experiences in Homage to Catalonia.

Where it falls apart is when people try to analyze his works as critiques of communism from the right because while he hated the Soviet Union, that didn't make him anti-communist, quite the opposite. Maybe this explains why his works still resonate with people (at least by pop cultural reference, as most people citing 1984 don't seem to have actually read it): because they're critiques from the left, they also lend themselves to critiquing capitalism (surveillance capitalism and tepid liberalism in particular).

I worked for a large Silicon Valley company as a foreign national (Canadian) and I flew down at least once a quarter. When I said I was going for “unpaid business”, I was questioned enough that it led me to ask my employer to get me the proper visa so I could legally work because it felt like I could get denied entry on the whim of the immigration agent. It felt uncertain and was kind of stressful.

My advice is, don’t risk it. Get the visa to allow you to work for at least the time you are there. I ended up getting a full TN visa but I believe there are short-term work visas for this circumstance as well.

That's a lot of points and not a lot of comments.
The simplest reason is lack of effective communication, team bonding, and morale.

People behave differently behind a screen even if incentivised by money. This becomes a problem at the scale of big companies.

Eg - without body language, tone and context - everyone needs to be extra charitable to avoid miscommunication or distrust. This might cause people to be overly defensive in their approach to communicate.

I am a Canadian on an L1B visa. I'm in the middle of an employment-based green card process, currently waiting for a PERM application to be approved (filed Fall 2023).

I'm interested in starting a startup but am waiting on my green card process to be done.

Questions:

1. What are the other paths to a startup-appropriate visa if I don't want to wait for PERM (~6 more months) and the I-485 process (3 to 24 months?) to be done? Are some TN categories appropriate for this?

2. If and when my green card is approved, how soon can I leave my job and start a startup?

3. What happens if I am terminated from my job before the I-485 has been in review for 6 months (i.e. before portability)? Is my green card valid if my I-485 is approved after termination?

No, it's pretty clear cut. They censored. Let's consider the simplest possible example of a censored political statement: "Lula is a socialist". It's not a crime, it's not defamation, it's not hate speech, it's not even an insult since he's openly proud of being a comminist. Yet it was censored. I saw it happen in real time. The justification was "fake news". You yourself come in these threads about Brazil to talk about "misleading falsehoods" and how the court is justified in censoring them.

So we have to resolve once and for all whether that statement is true or false. We cannot break from this loop until we determine whether he's a socialist or not. Once we have determined that, we can determine whether the court had "justification" for censoring the accusation.

So tell me. Do you dispute the fact he's a communist? Do you have any doubt at all? Be honest.

You keep ignoring that simple question. Discussion of this matter with you simpply cannot continue until you answer it.

When you finally do, it's going to go in one of two directions. Either you admit that he is in fact a communist, in which case the supreme court judges censored the truth for political gain which violates the constitution. Or you keep insisting that he isn't a communist, I present proof that he is a communist, and then conclude that the supreme court judges censored the truth for political gain which violates the constitution.

There are analogies, and then there's this.
It's quite a common concept in existentialist philosophy. Heidegger's
"The They" and Sartre's "The Gaze". In psychoanalysis Lacan's "Big
Other" is related. (I actually have no idea whether Orwell riffed on
that.)

Not to get into it deeply, but it's a force that has two sides. One is
external, the group's desire to overwhelm the individual a la
communism/the Borg. And another is internal, the fear of being
overwhelmed by the group, stripped of identity. Of course that whole
concept is itself the flip side in tension with its opposite;
affinity/coviviality/socialbility and love/belonging of the group.
No, US immigration are notorious for exactly the opposite. See my other comment in this thread.

>If you test to a function, or a class, then your tests imply that function or class must be present, with that specific API.

So what? Every implementation will have some basic structure. That structure can be modified if needed. The point of a unit test is not to posit that any particular thing exists, but that the things that do exist actually work.

>In my experience, most people write unit tests for internal implementation details that are irrelevant to the business domain. They end up inhibiting code change rather than encouraging change, because anything changes often require re-evaluating each failing test to see if it was meaningful in the first place - and if 100s of tests are no longer meaningful, it's easy to skip the couple of tests which are true regression tests.

If the internal implementation is not observable without a bunch of other bullshit, these tests can help instill confidence that the stuff actually works. If you don't test, or test the overall system, it takes much longer. There is such a thing as a pointless test but it is far more common in my experience to have stuff that isn't covered at all by tests. If your biggest problem is that you have to delete some tests that you made obsolete, that's perfectly ok.

>As the author writes, full end-to-end tests "are often slow, cumbersome, hard to debug and tend to be flaky."

Those types of tests are not unit tests.

>Instead, find the internal interfaces which tied to the business logic ("something that delivers value to a paying client"), and write the tests to that. You can use unit test frameworks for that sort of functional testing.

It isn't only the business logic that needs to be tested. Anything that is cumbersome to test "enough" in the overall system ought to be unit tested. At work I'm faced with a series of structures that are cumbersome to test in isolation and in totality. If I had unit tests I could make changes at least 3x faster.

I've often felt that reading and reviewing bad code is more cognitively challenging than writing my own code. Add onto it the unreliability of not knowing when the code will be delivered (so now there's a chance I'll be blocked if Devin can't finish when I need it to), and I can't see how this would be useful. I'm sure there will come a point when the code that Devin writes is easy to review just like how ChatGPT is able to write quite meaningful English sentences but I worry that it will make things even worse because now you can have correct looking code that's riddled with bugs.

From the article, the overall point seems to be on Google making significantly more money from news than the news providers, and the providers trying to find a better balance one way or another.

I think you're right on raw links also part of the target, but it's also in the context of Google providing an overview of the news and profiting from it, whether the links are clicked or not (Google's clearly covering all the spectrum of where money can be made on the pipeline, until it hits the target site)
Hybrid work is the worst of both worlds. Can't move out of a HCOL and now you have to co-ordinate with your co-workers to reap any "benefits" of being in-office.

What would be really cool is reconceptualizing hybrid work as quarterly retreats, where the company provides housing and other amenities for 1 to 2 weeks every quarter. This gives everyone time to bond and work on harder problems.

I get this wouldn't work as well for those with families because being away for that long is tough, but this would be great for say juniors and seniors with greater flexibility. It also solves some of the other issues, ie I could move to an MCOL and just fly in once a quarter to work together with everyone. The "retreat" aspect of it would also incentivize more people to be there.

On the company side of things, instead of leasing out a building for a long time, they can just rent short term and use the money they are saving to make the retreat more fun and productive.
I definitely agree that this comment was extremely problematic.
