My mother was only just recently diagnosed with ADD (After having 2 out of her 5 children with the same ADD/ADHD diagnosis). This was AFTER dealing with depression and various diagnoses including bipolar. She is in therapy to not only manage her ADD, but also deal with all the issues as a result of a lifetime of unmanaged ADD. I have ADD, but was diagnosed young, I learned how to manage and only went on meds when I was mid 20's since my non medical management didn't work well outside a structured school setting (and barely did in highschool/college). My depression and anxiety are made worse if not caused by ADD and has affect social and work life (good and bad). While I agree that ADD/ADHD can be overdiagnosed and even possibly overmedicated, I agree that not having a diagnosis can cause a worse life than otherwise.

Opposing EME will simply keep Microsoft and Adobe uncharged of the web video market and keep that market smaller thB the Apple, Google, Amazon, etc. stores.

The last time someone took a “principled” stance like this and blocked H.264 in Firefox, remember what happened? Flash got many extra years of life and Firefox lost marketshare.

I'd prefer we stop pretending this is anything other than a minor shift in the status quo and focus on the larger anti-DRM campaign. The right place to focus is the bottom-line: educating consumers about the restrictions and supporting alternatives. As long as people are paying billions of dollars through native apps, you're fooling yourself to believe that this EME opposition is doing anything but supporting competitors to the open web.

Some links from recent UK cases to get you started:

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/aug/12/met-chief-bri...

Steven Lawrence was a black teenager murdered in a racially motived attack in 1993. The racist police force bungled the investigation. This was a big scandal and there was eventually a public inquiry. Recently it has emerged that the police used undercover police officers to infiltrate and undermine the campaign by the family to get justice and expose the racism in the police force. The police neglected to mention this during the public enquiry.

http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jun/24/undercover-officer...

Over the course of several decades dozens of under cover police officers stole the identities of dead children and infiltrated environmental protest groups and were encouraged to enter into sexual relationships with women in the groups they were targeting. In some cases even fathering children with the women they were deceiving. All while still being married in their real lives, which they returned to once the assignments ended.

>Like most addicts in denial, potheads live under the bogus assumption that every bong hit will be their last.

Uh, what? While there may be some people that have hit problems and want to change because their life is being negatively impacted, most "addicts" are quite fine where they are. I personally don't like pot, but I've never known any pothead to keep saying "this will be my last hit" - quite the opposite. Like Snoop says "Smoke weed everyday".

Edit: Also, he disses his pill clients ("depravity"), while simultaneously noting that they're the wealthier ones, pouring him "expensive scotch".

Seems like he had some odd delusions of being cool, and wanted to show how hard being a delivery boy is ("read three books a week"), while also showing his superiority to "addicts".
The StackOverflow question that gave away Ross Ulbricht
The complexities of revenue sharing
You said your machine is brand new -- is there a 802.11ac draft chip in it by any chance?

F/OSS drivers tend to lag behind, in my experience; for "brand new" machines running x86 I've always found myself just using ndiswrapper with the Windows drivers.

I think there are a variety of factors behind this, such as 802.11ac not yet being standardized, chips designed to have firmware loaded from the host machine (so that it can be updated later if the standard changed), and the FCC/CRTC/regulatory bodies in each region of the world (preventing you from having pure F/OSS drivers if said drivers could be modified to allow the hardware to work outside of the e.g. frequencies legally allowed in your region).

I am just waiting for a more powerful entity like Google or Facebook to take on Ad-block, that's when it'll get really interesting. I'm guessing Facebook is just testing the waters for now by taking you on, and demanding you to take down ad-blocking features for now.

edit: I just read in your article:

I asked about both of these cases, as examples, and I
was told by the person at Facebook that she was not
aware of these apps or Pages, but would check into them.

They don't know about Ad-block! That is just so rich.
I'd also recommend looking at local resources such as chambers of commerce. Join them (or just attend some of the events), meet their members (businesses), establish yourself as an expert (and trust) by giving free talks at events, and then proceed up the sales chain.
Lifelines: Survival Analysis in Python
The community seems to be split. I lean towards separating code by features. Having Controllers, Directives, Services in one file as long as it relates to a particular feature. You can have separate files for shared features.
I believe having the photos linger after they are no longer relevant or applicable is libel. Even posting the mugshots originally can be construed as libelous. IANAL, but I would hope the technology will adapt (ie sites only publish if the mugshots are 'current' and that is subjective but not too unclear -- when a record is expunged they cease to be useful v. their damages as defamation; and sites be able to delete them when they are not current immediately - even automatically). Otherwise I see no reason why are not liable. Sue them, justice then legislature will follow in a decade or so.. Seriously though I think that's how it works..
A Brief History of Irony
My Response To Dick Costolo: Twitter Must Lead Silicon Valley On Diversity
"With no psychiatrist on Evergreen’s staff, it took nearly two days before one arrived to examine him."

Why isn't there a consultant psychiatrist available in an accident and emergency hospital? Genuinely surprised by this as many mental health problems present in an acute fashion.
Yeah, I see that link come up pretty often. First off, does it really make sense to attribute to government each and every journalist who was killed, for whatever reason? Including sports reporter, including the guy from press service of the Moscow Region governor? Mind you, homicide rate in Russia is twice as high as that of the US.

Sure, it looks like government isn't providing them (and everyone else, for that matter) with enough security, but it's nothing like saying it deliberately murders them. The most hard evidence for me is that Russian press itself doesn't put much emphasis on it.
Oh, I know.

Try to start a project with angular, coffeescript, and requirejs. On top, have the audacity to not want to use array syntax but have ngmin deal with that.

It is. And my definition of journalism was plenty wide. Sometimes journalism has you holding centres of power to account, but by no means is that your modus operandi.
The mere fact that this works every day for billions of people demonstrates that you're wrong. Flash/Silverlight are easy hacked and yet the content cartels have decided they're enough.

Just so we can be clear about where we stand: the Russian government murders journalists. You'd have to present pretty clear, coherent, and surprising evidence to get me to believe otherwise. That's not helpful in an "orderly resolution of message board debate" sense, I know, but I wouldn't want to give the impression that I was endorsing this question as a meaningful debate. The Russian government murders journalists; it's literally part of their M.O.

The words "grounding" and "grinding" are not related in meaning: "grounding" refers to "ground", meaing the surface of the Earth, and "grinding" is a participle of "grind". See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ground for details.

Russia murders journalists, the US murders civilians who happen to be walking down the wrong street in Yemen, Iraq, Afghamistan or Pakistan. I really don't understand at all how you can claim one of those is morally superior to the other.

Is there some cultural convention in the US that I don't understand whereby murdering (white) journalists is really really wrong and never possibly justifiable but murdering (arab) children is a perfectly acceptable part of the rough and tumble of geopolitics? Otherwise I don't understand your narrow focus on journalists.

As an aside, it's not like the US never deliberately targets journalists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera#Death_of_Tareq_Ayyo...
The article is very painful to read, it uses an annoying pattern that I see often in blog posts and other forms of writing. The author keeps saying it will address a given topic in a short while, repeatedly. When he finally does, the main topic is addressed in only a few lines.

When I write something I think what I want to convey and how to best do it; most of the time this only means laying the various topics in a logical, bottom-up fashion, so that a given topic is brought up just when it needs to, it isn't announced before. If you find yourself writing things like "we'll come to this in a while" or "as I'll show in the next section" you should probably reconsider the structure of the whole thing and start again.
I'm not part of the team, so I don't know. I don't know if some of them hang out on HN either, so you probably should contact them directly.

Actually, that's not true. Wireless on Windows 8--depending on machine configuration--can be abysmal. My wife and I both own high-end HP machines, and the wireless chips in them haven't been worth shit. Apparently an update coming as part of Windows 8.1 will remedy a lot of the wireless issues people have been having, but really? Even a big corporation for whom this stuff is their bread-and-butter can't get it right. Hopefully 8.1 does resolve our issues: constant disconnects--in spite of our Android tablets and phones continuing to stay connected and enjoy solid unflagging bandwidth, and having to disable and then re-enable the chip to get it to see the wireless network again and reconnect. That said, I'm not holding my breath. In my experience, I'd say Linux has recently become better than Windows in a lot of ways, and Mac OS is even better. On the other hand, with Mac OS you get applications which crash all the time (even if the OS doesn't). So pick your poison...

Yeah, that sounds exactly the same as picking out Anna Politkovskaya and having her shot to death in the lobby of her apartment building.

I've got no trouble making a distinction between killing someone because of a mistake or even because of negligence and killing someone deliberately because they are writing things that are inconvenient to you. Come to think of it, neither does the law; the law has made that distinction since the middle ages. It calls one of those "murder", and the other something else.
"Ground" is the past participle of "grind" So: I grind, I am grinding, I had ground, I was grinding.

From what I've heard so far, LGBTQ athletes will not be discriminated against at the Games. The anti-"gay propaganda" laws have no affect on the sports. Needless to say the law is abhorrent, it doesn't seem like it will prevent athletes who have been training all their lives from competing.

That didn't work so well for the Nazis; between the many track and field victories of the American Jesse Owens and excellent sportsmanship of many other international athletes, Nazi supremacy was at best marginalized.

Speaking of transcending political intentions, there's a story from those olympics where German long jumper Luz Long gave Jesse Owens tips to help him qualify for the event. There are countless other gestures that demonstrate the same spirit at that event.
The term DC is borrowed from electrical engineering. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_bias explains:

The term originated in electronics, where it refers to a

extended to two-dimensional transformations like the
discrete cosine transform used in JPEG.

Seeing how successful companies work is extremely valuable. No company is perfect so you get to see what works and what does not.

I was in the same boat. I tried to switch back to Firefox a while back. Some people prefer Vimperator and Pentadactyl, but after using Vimium for a while, I found them to be a little too complicated and, well, different from what I was used to. It's possible I could have adjusted, but I didn't bother at the time and quickly returned to Chromium.

Later I discovered a Firefox addon called VimFX that basically aims to be "Chromium for Firefox": A very simple set of Vim-like shortcuts, configured in almost exactly the way Chromium is. Once I started using it, I felt right at home in Firefox, and I haven't looked back since. It's got a few warts (delay when using gg, Ctrl-F rebound to PageDown by default), but all things considered I'm pretty happy with it.

Personal signs:

- Not able to drive unless taken medication since every sign, pedestrian, other cars and movement keeps you from paying attention to what is in front of you (including lights, cars and pedestrians). (Like running into a tree since you were trying to admire the forest and not paying attention to where you were going).

-Stopping mid sentence/conversation to finish a sentence/conversation (whether or not with the same person) that may have happened weeks or years ago.

-Being verbally told something, and remembering it until someone else tells you something/asks for something or you see something else 'shiney'.

-Finishing someone else's sentences due to them being too slow to finish it (whether or not what I say is correct)

-Having many projects half finished- not necessarily since I got bored with them, but it took to long to finish and something else more shiney/important happened.

-Finishing a book 4 years later, always knowing where in the plot you are and what is going on, but not finishing because another book wanted to be read first.

-Saying/writing a sentence wrong since you try to say the same thing 2-3 different ways ALL AT ONCE. Also works trying to move 2-3 different directions all at once.

-Impulsivity- trying to do Everything RIGHT NOW.
The problem is with privacy and privacy laws. If you read the laws about privacy (like http://www.ico.org.uk/for_organisations/privacy_and_electron...) you are going to see that they are targeting cookie-like tracking systems.

e.g. Apple some time ago forbid developer to use such an unique id (http://www.tuaw.com/2011/08/19/ios-5-deprecates-udid-as-iden...) probably on privacy laws grounds.
