Coercion is not the way to teach kids we should deal with everybody with respect for their rights. Respecting everybody's choices is far more consistent with that purpose.

I'd rather kids develop their own ability to choose than to force them to make what I think are the right choices.

To believe force is the answer is to ignore the role of force in setting up segregation to begin with. Separate facilities that the oppressed are forced to finance, for example.

People adopt beliefs that fly in the face of reason BECAUSE of threats of violence and actual violence. Thou will be going to hell unless you believe. I will be harassing daily until you profess the same beliefs I do. That's how many parents of haters operate.
I've never met someone who was diagnosed with ADHD since their early years. It's always people like the one in this article. I have a few questions to ask people who have used amphetamines while exercising (cross training, cardio), having sex, meditating, or anything that raises your heart rate. How does it feel? Does it feel like running on an empty stomach on a Monday morning after having slept only 3 hours?

I'm not really talking about just handing out the code... although I suppose it could just be open sourced. That being said, I'm not opposed to the company being taken in a different direction.

Michelle Malkin notwithstanding, it's pretty fucking cut and dried, and a national shame.
> What you may be referring to is that Adderall, methamphetamine, and MDMA have remarkably similar effects, which is true - the active ingredients in all three are metabolized in a similar manner, and the main differences are the means of ingestion, the bioavailability, and set/setting.

Precisely. I'll add a clarifying edit now that two people have interpreted my statement differently than intended..

Is this a case where the plaintiff actually crossed the border, or an exclusion zone case where he just happened to be within about 50 miles of the border?
A simple answer: too much risk!

There is a threshold to capitalism. The problem is that no one has yet figured out how to hedge the bet, attempt to solve extremely risky borderline impossible problems, and guarantee a profit. It's much much safer to go after an obvious, well-described, minor problem that over 50% of the population experiences and would pay a minor sum to improve. It's a safe bet. And there are a lot of those!

The other problem is surely capital and education. They've diverged and are being pulled in opposite directions. Higher education saddles you with debt and makes you extremely risk averse. You can't ever get access to capital because you're always playing it safe. So the system has been inadvertently designed to lock out these "big problem" jobs, because, again, they are too risky for people to undertake.

And then the rich are also risk-averse these days. The focus is on ROI and increasing wealth—look at Warren Buffet, one of the world's richest men, entirely rewarded for being risk-averse and investing in solid, tried-and-true companies. And you're surprised that the big problems aren't being solved? People like Buffet aren't investing in them, at least not at a large scale. And they're rewarded for that behavior. The system is set up to reward this sort of behavior. The idea is that once you get rich, you invest "prudently" and grow your wealth. You don't bet it all on the big problem that's probably impossible.

Except sometimes you do. Some people are solving the big problems. Elon Musk is up there doing it (in space and on the ground). Bill Gates and Buffet too are putting up a lot to fight seemingly impossible big health problems. This is all excellent, and not to be ignored.

I think the incentives are not yet aligned correctly to get the result you're looking for. What you want is to reward risk taking, and capitalism just doesn't do that in the right way. There are too many hurdles, too many punishments for failure. And the right people to solve the problems aren't the same ones who have the capital to get the solving done, for so many reasons.

There's your big problem to solve—fix that system. Align the incentives. It's the meta-problem, and if you solved that, the world would probably be a better place. (Hint: there are already some good solutions, but the America won't vote for them)

Adderall IR makes me feel very energetic and motivated, a feeling I like a lot. But I always seem to use it until it becomes so detrimental to my health that I feel I have to quit.

Always, my dosage creeps up, my sleep schedule becomes chaotic, I become too thin and frail. I'm mentally quick, but also irritable. At first I take it to feel great, but at some point I'm taking it just not to feel as if I'm wearing a lead suit.

I recently quit again after using for two months. If I get my weight and health back, I may try Adderall again, but only if I'm sure I can be extremely strict with myself. People say that taking weekends off can inhibit the dependence.

I have a dedicated desk. I'm based in Spain(work is in London) so it's pretty damn cheap! I pay 200 euros a month for a bright, modern office on top of a block in the center of town(Granada). We have a terrace that surrounds the office and the views of the mountains are spectacular!
I don't understand the figurative part. Is that like folks who call oxycodone "legal heroin" or "synthetic heroin"? Is it supposed to sound edgy or provide some sort of shock effect against ignorant people? I don't get it.

Solving big problems doesn't necessarily = profit, especially in the short-term, which is what drives most companies and businesses. Unless you got billions of disposable income (ala Google), you just don't have the luxury to delve into "big problems".

We live in a modern world with many advanced technologies. But in a way, we're not unlike the hunter gatherers who had to spend their hours worrying about survival. We spend the vast majority of our 24 hours commuting, and working for The Man instead, worrying about paying our bills, loans, mortgages, putting food in the table, college tuition, etc.
Leave and go where?
In addition to what phil said, Michelle Malkin is Filipino (and born in Philly), not Japanese. In anything, that would make her biased in favor of the internment.

Yup, don't blame the people, blame the system. That's exactly it. It's like asking why aren't all the hot girls pursuing the nice guys.
Wayland is already mostly there, was put together by experienced X developers who've given up on trying to make X do everything modern display environments work. The main problem with moving away from X has been the lack of a single, demonstrably better target to move to. Mir will fragment that effort, and the rationale seems to be "NIH".

You can be a current customer with outside of the (typically two year) contract period. Currently AT&T (and possibly other carriers?) will unlock the phone for you in this situation. But, it wouldn't be terrible to have this specifically allowed/required.
If I saw the unchecked checkbox without a nearby checked one for comparison, I don't think I would know what it is. The solid fill strays a little too much from the paradigm.

Denial is a principal aspect of drug addiction. Even if she quits using, it will likely take a long-time for her to fully accept that it was all her fault. Drug addicts will blame every single person but themselves.

> I'm just tired of people who complain about Apple's "closed ecosystem" and then turn around and suggest an Android system which usually involves rooting (Android's "jailbreak") and flashing a custom ROM. Android actually is more involved than jailbreaking an iPhone is as far as time, energy, and scope go.

Nothing about creating an app for Android or GoogleTV requires any of those things. "Jailbreaking" my phone involved plugging it in and typing two solitary commands. On my old phone it involved three. The Android set top boxes come with root out of the box and have no signature protection in recovery.

I understand the tinkering mindset, I assure you.
Use the sword. The axe seems to fail to hit a lot of times. The sword on the other hand seems to be far more imbalanced for gameplay.
This made me sick. I don't know what's worst: the author's self-absorption, the victimization tone, or the fact that her colleagues had to do similar unhealthy shit in order to compete with her. It stinks the whole way.

Using drugs to gain an unfair advantage over other people at work has unhealthy emotional side effects? Am I to be surprised by this?
There is a smart way to do this and not be a complete moron like the author. I take adderall a few times a year and have been doing so since my senior year (2003) in high school and have never come close to this trainwreck. It's a simple approach: know exactly what you have to do before taking it, eat a meal before (since you will have no appetite), take them in the early morning (so you can sleep by night), and finally...don't use them again for at least a few months. Also have water nearby the entire time since it dehydrates you.
I tried the business trip I'm taking next week, and that I just researched on hipmunk earlier today.

"Boston to Tunis to Barcelona"

Big bag of fail. Adioso's trying to send me from "Boston, Texas" to "Barcelona, Venezuela", and finds no matching flights.

Even the simpler search "Boston to Barcelona" is sending me to Venezuela, not Catalonia. It's finding no matching flights.

I tried "Barcelona, Spain", editing the URL to be barcelona-es, barcelona-sp. Nothing worked. Maybe it's a corner case or maybe it's deeper than that, but I figured I'd send along the feedback. I do wish you the best, as airline "exploring" is a right pain in the ass.
I like how they announced they are killing Tweetdeck in non-web form on their Posterous blog, which Twitter is also shutting down in April. Irony.
Methylphenidate (Ritalin) and the amphetamines do wonders for physical work. You feel fantastic and capable. Amphetamines in particular provide a bit of a euphoric boost. In general, amphetamines are going to make you feel pretty damn good, although coming down might be unpleasant sometimes.

I have to caution people to not do exert themselves, as they figure out that they can go workout at the gym like mad. I'm not sure it's healthy to work out while on stimulants.
Once Again, We Return

This is how I'd put it. I've been diagnosed with adult ADHD and take a moderate to low dose of Adderall under the direction of my doctor. I can easily forgo taking it for weeks, and do so. These "vacations" without it were advised by my doctor to prevent tolerance buildup, and I suspect to diminish the potential for addiction. My dosage has remained constant and I don't feel a "need" for it, so I guess they work. For many of those with ADHD the drug makes a world of difference, and pushes focus and tendency to move around into the "normal" range. For certain activities the (benefits - costs) equation works out, while for others it does not (which is to say certain activities don't appreciably benefit from the quiet mind--the costs are long term and are more difficult to discern). It's about planning to take it for days where it does help, and being mindful of the health ramifications (staying hydrated, eating normal and healthy meals, monitoring cardiac health with support from a doctor, continuing to consult the doctor, etc.).

My biggest fear beyond addiction is that it will be detrimental to my memory and learning in the long term. It's difficult to know if that is true.

The author clearly abused it. Taking it "to socialize" seems weird to me. I suspect the author did not need it in the first place, and was already in the "normal" range. My mentally disorganized self is much more outgoing that the focused version of me. If it is impacting sleep, the dosage is probably too high or too extended (though many MDs prescribe the XR version since ostensibly it has less potential for abuse).

Some of the alternative pharmaceuticals may work about as well, but Adderall has been around for so long that its risks are fairly well understood--though less so with long term use.

Vyvanse is a means to extract more money from patients via patent protection. It's essentially dexedrine with a lysine attached (new side group=new patent). The lysine gets cleaved in vivo, and it becomes dextroamphetamine. Adderall is a mixture of dextro- and levo- handed salts, so it's a bit more nuanced.

Taking it without doctor supervision is a major risk, and taking more than is prescribed or mixing it with other drugs as the author did compounds the risk. The potential for abuse is real.

Michelle Malkin is not Japanese, and her book received near-universal condemnation from civil rights groups, historians and asian-americans alike.

It's disturbing to me that you're referencing this piece of crap to make an apparently sincere argument that internment might actually not be a bad thing. That's all it takes, huh?

Here's a horribly generalized, bound to insult many people, but still relatively accurate stereotype: there are 4 good neighborhoods in oakland, 3 of which are affordable. The oakland hills are very nice and very expensive. The three affordable neighborhoods are around jack london square, around lake merritt, and around college ave near the berkeley-oakland border.
I have a 30" next to a 24" but I find myself using the 24 more often. I adhere to the 80 columns per line rule so I don't really have problems with horizontal neck movements. Even at 24" there's plenty of room for side by side windows.
In those use cases I agree. If for any reason one do not trust the software installed to behave as expected, a firewall can be a nice net to cover any strange behavior. If the job require Proprietary software services with an unknown/untrusted behavior, or the re-use of old images with strange stuff in them, I would too consider running a firewall. In the case of users however, I tend to apply some good-faith practice and just monitor. If something happen, I can always apply a firewall to deal with the situation. However, I do understand if that is not possible in every work place.

Here nmap do shine, and periodically running nmap is a technique that should be taught in universities. Great way for students to both learn about computer systems, and about learning how to debug problems.
The toggle button also suffers from the ambiguity common to many of these controls. The default image for 'on' is a dark background, where 'off' is a light background. Because there's no indicator whether 'on' is the current state or the action, this can be quite confusing.
You don't want the light reflected by 180 degrees - it needs to be reflected where Earth is going to be; a much harder problem. For the easy case quoted in the article of 6 light years, any collimated light would need to be properly directed at the sub-nanoradian (milliarcsecond) level (which is possible -- see sig and [0]).

Interesting to think about, even if it is an incredible observational challenge.

Fun application for the Arecibo radar, if it's still running. Locking into a modulated signal might yield the necessary SNR?

Use the leftover salary from your previous high paying job to take a well deserved break. I think your question will answer itself over the course of a month or two of relaxation.
Yikes! $500 and $600 is a lot for an ARM in a little box. Hardware does appear pretty nice, but for that money...
You have missed the point. Show me the Android equivalent of Debian.

Show me an Android project, with all of the unskilled users that come with it, that is anywhere near as organized as the Debian Project. Show me that legions of unskilled users have allowed this Android project to achieve hardware compatibility at all comparable to what Debian achieves on the desktop.

Such a project does not exist. I assert that it does not exist in no small part because they have too many unskilled users, and because hardware support does not materialize as soon as you reach some sort of "critical mass" of unskilled users.

Idiot users are toxic; anything that touches them rots. Only corporations that are prepared to completely disregard community involvement are capable of wielding an idiot userbases. Canonical is neither up to that task nor does it even appear to be pretending to be. Why? Probably because the lunatics run the asylum.
Gotta love the handful of random grey dots lost within the mosh pit. I think we've all been there.

Although this is true (and silly), AT&T (at least) will unlock the phone for you after contract expiration. If this is true of other carriers, then the issue is largely irrelevant.
The solution to this is to find a whole bunch of DHS employees who feel that these seizures are unjust and who are authorized to perform seizures themselves. Then have them go around rampantly seizing as much as they can from as many high-profile people as they can. Seize the devices from judges, lawyers, congress members, TV reporters, actors, children, and so on. Only by flagrantly exercising the "rights" the DHS claims they have will sanity ultimately prevail. They may lose their jobs, but I'm sure there's people willing to make that small sacrifice for defending liberty.

The Travel Site I want is a mixture of wikitravel and tripadvisor, only updated more often and not so narrow.
By narrow I mean that users on a site only go to restaurants that are mentioned on the site, potentially missing some hidden gems.

The biggest problem whilst traveling for me is not flight info. That's not a problem I have, really. I buy a flight once and forget about it. But I spend a lot of time worrying about not getting ripped off, or walking around finding a safe place to sleep, choosing decent restaurants, selecting authentic places to see and things to do. Wikitravel did an OK job but again it was 'narrow' and also infrequently updated.

In summation, the perfect travel site for me would be basically a map telling me local places to sleep/eat/activity and the price and quality and rating.
