Of the two attitudes, only one ensures that those who do suffer from ADHD aren't able to receive treatment. Misdiagnosis, when it occurs, is able to be handled on a case-by-case basis; the "no such thing" stigmatization and other similar lines of reasoning, on the other hand, are a priori positions that reinforce biases that actively work against those who are seeking treatment and those who should but aren't, and as a result, directly contributes to underdiagnosis.

No one looks at increases in cancer rates and decries them as an rising tide of overdiagnoses. Only when talking about mental health can people get away with this sort of shoddy reasoning. A few points:

First, the argument itself is faulty. By their very nature, diagnosis rates aren't able to support conclusions in either direction on the matter. An increase in diagnoses is not the same as an increase in misdiagnoses. There are multiple significant factors that can contribute to an increase in diagnoses over time (i.e. heightened awareness, decreased in stigma that would otherwise have prevented the patient from seeking treatment, better diagnostic tools, properly recognizing edge cases where ADHD was previously misdiagnosed, etc.). We've seen similar things with other illnesses as well.

Simply put, the question that you're trying to raise (but aren't) is more nuanced: what percentage of those diagnosed do not meet the diagnostic criteria? The two questions are quite distinct.

Second, we're not exactly working from a comparable baseline when we look towards previous years. Consider factors such as a broader recognition of ADHD symptoms, openness to not simply writing those same symptoms off as "that's the way the world works" or "kids will will be kids", and relative decreases in stigmatization of ADHD itself (e.g. "ok, this is different from those really bad disorders like... schizophrenia [gasp]"). Net result, increased visibility which damn well ought to lead to increases in overall numbers just as it would for any diagnosis, psychological or otherwise.

Third, there isn't much scientific evidence to support the idea that ADHD is overdiagnosed. Even in cases where patients don't meet the diagnostic criteria, there's a growing body of evidence that they nevertheless exhibit more symptoms than average. So even in those cases, they're quite different than your idealized vision of regular kids being fed a daily diet of all the psychopharmaceuticals they can swallow. If you're interested, here are a few articles you can start off from:

Anyhow, mental illness--regrettably--has a nasty assortment of baggage. For centuries the mentally ill were criminalized, marginalized, and locked away. Crazy or not crazy. And though we've moved away from a great deal of the worst of these excesses, many of them are still with us. Maybe one day we'll get our heads out of our collective asses.

I think Lotus Notes is overreaching, but that doesn't make it prone to be malware.
Hi there, speaking of autovectorization, I actually tried it on this last night. After seeing kid0man's post, I decided to try optimizing it and selected that same loop as my target. (When I wrote the original C++ program, I was favoring conciseness and portability over performance, naturally.)

I made many of the same transformations as you did: switching the object's data to a structure of arrays, splitting out the computation of the normal from the loop, etc. (even an int hit = -1.) My goal was to coax Intel's compiler into autovectorizing that loop, without directly using vector intrinsics. I succeeded, but the result turned out to be noticeably slower than just compiling kid0man's with -fast. Part of that, I suspect is that it generated suboptimal code for the reduction over the minimum, where a human programmer would have used a movemask as you did.

That said, I'm fairly curious to experiment with seeing how it would perform with the kernel compiled via ispc [1].

Regarding direct use of SIMD intrinsics in inner loops, I have to agree with you that it's still reasonably common for this type of thing. I've certainly done it before in ray tracing contexts [2], and I've seen many others do it as well, e.g. [3] and [4]. Autovectorization and things like Intel's array notation extension [5] seem to be getting better all the time, but I don't think it's generally as performant yet as direct use of intrinsics. In the cases where it is, it usually seems to have taken a fair amount of coaxing and prodding.

Uh, no it's not.
I'm not even sure where people get this stuff.

The purpose of android was twofold, AFAIK

1. Andy thought the mobile experience of most users was a lot shittier than it needed to be. While the sidekick was a success, Google was able to provide a vastly larger amount of resources to bear on the problem than his startup could (and well, his startup was running out of money :P). The main goal of android, believe it or not, was to fix this shitty experience.

2. Also, one of the strategies was to keep the carrier's walled garden app models that were becoming popular (this was before apple) from eating Google alive by demanding cuts of ad/other revenue from Google's inevitable mobile apps. Actually, back in these days, the most worrying people on these fronts were the carriers, not Nokia/BlackBerry/whoever. Android and the iPhone essentially commoditized carriers. Before, they essentially controlled what apps got to run on their network. Now they fight it out to be "the best iphone experience".

Nobody was sitting around thinking about how they were going to get and use personal info from phones into ads.
I used t-mobile from around 2000 to the end of 2007 in NYC. Never had any problems but data was not a big issue back then. They even assigned me a 212 mobile number from a batch of 10 numbers that they received.

With the right wording and timing, these things happen. Around 2002, I was searching what books to buy and e-mailed Amazon support what books Jeff Bezos has read in the past 6 months. They replied immediately to told me to ask him directly providing his e-mail address. I forwarded the e-mail and got a reply back with a list. This was even cooler than having a 212 number.
Surely you are better off doing this locally rather than sending the data to your aws server?
Not Steve Jobs nor Bill Gates have been to military service, this I think allowed them to develop their companies, what will happen in case of mandatory service?

World Gym caters to the powerlifter set that I think you're seeking -- they provide chalk (iirc) and have multiple squat cages and a deadlift mat and use olympic barbells.

But then...I have yet to go to a gym in San Francisco that didn't have at least one squat rack and space for deadlifts. I don't know where you were going that wasn't properly equipped for strength training.
Sure, do what Bill gates did with Microsoft, charity and make north of $100 billion and then others will laugh at a 40+ year old traffic arrest.

Now if you're trying a job and they are another 100 applicants....
Why not? Untrusted code running on your computer is a clear security risk. And you still didn't explain why DRM should be trusted, when it doesn't trust you.
Google makes money from ads, and the y have products that are designed to help them do so. Let me know when I should start being alarmed.
It varies based on whatever promotion is going on, but you get exactly what you pay for. At best, the gyms are tolerable, at worst...well, I'm surprised that the Mission location hasn't been shut down for health code violations.
As far as I'm concerned, the murder-for-hire thing is bullshit.
i'm 27 this year, and i too consider myself very old to return to school. unfortunately, i'm also a foreigner (to US) and the only viable way i can continue pursuing a startup in the US, where i want to be, is to return as a student. so i guess there are a few different reasons i choose to return to school, including getting a visa as well as pursuing technical knowledge.

if i was allowed to return on a different visa, i would not choose to go back to sch for CS and would instead learn these stuff on my own. unfortunately, i was denied such a visa and thus... here we are.
It's a culture that's spreading. I just spent the summer at a quantitative finance company in New York, and that's a perfect description of the atmosphere there. Both literally and metaphorically.
EDIT: People are the bigger disccusion thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6502756) are saying that it's possible to update without deleting/restore by downloading the ipsw and alt+click the "check for updates button".

Original:

Booting to recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808) and clicking restore will download the 7.0.2 firmware (no need to alt+restore), wipe the phone, and update to 7.0.2

I was getting offered 6.1.3 and not 7.0.2 because my itunes wasn't updated to 11.1+.

Before booting to recovery mode, copy over your camera roll with image capture/aperture/iphoto just in case your latest backup (iCloud or iTunes) isn't up to date.
the whole point is that netflix and others have zero decision power in this.

so i cant create a content distribution company that allows you to download and convert the movie to some format you need tonwatch on some roadtrip because the middle man says i have to sell it to you via streaming.
yes, i've completed most of the tutorials on codecademy and other self-help books as well. however, as i've explained in my other post, the other reason why i'm returning to school is also because of the visa which would allow me entry back into US.

Agreed. Reminds me of a joke at the end of Django tutorial[1]:

Coming soon

The tutorial ends here for the time being. Future installments of the tutorial will cover:

* Advanced form processing
* Using the RSS framework
* Using the cache framework
* Using the comments framework
* Advanced admin features: Permissions
* Advanced admin features: Custom JavaScript

I get it now. It now seems kinda funny. But when I was new to Django, I thought it was serious. I used to visit the page once in a while to check if new tutorials have been added yet. Fortunately, 1.4 was the last version which included this "joke".

Maybe I understated the problems. Adding a basic income all at once would have extreme short-term effects on an economy, and that might continue for ten, twenty-odd years. But humans aren’t generally happy working as much as we do in agriculturalist societies. Long-term we have a chance to reduce the work level back to that of hunting and gathering, while preserving other benefits such as population stability in the face of natural disaster. Economy and ecology are inextricably linked. If a basic income stands to benefit us as a species, I’m willing to at least entertain the thought, despite the immediate drawbacks.
> The US is obligated, by treaty and policy, to provide mutual defense to most of the world.

That in now way sounds like it requires the US to spend an extra 800 billion per year on its military.

Joe! Using American lingo already I see :)
And the betas prompt you to update. But after the last beta (which was the 7.0 GM), update checks within Settings and within iTunes said "you're up to date". Never was there any hint that there was a problem. Furthermore, the cryptic errors hiding the inability of updating to "stock" firmware, requiring a recovery mode restore (despite the last beta being the GM) makes it much more frustrating.
I set up a dialup gateway for a company with NetBSD 1.3 in 1998 on a compaq pentium 90 desktop with 32MiB of RAM. I got a call last year (!) from the owner saying it stopped working suddenly. Pulled the disk on it and plugged it into an IDE/USB adapter and looked at the syslog as I had no ps2 keyboard and it didn't have USB.

Suspected hardware failure at that age.

Max uptime: 8 years, 122 days!

It was still being used (on a dialup). It stopped working due to the dialup company stopping service rather than a hardware failure.

Has been replaced by a cheap ADSL connection and router. Ironically this had only been an option for about 6 months due to the rural location and no DSLAM at the local exchange.

Wonderful OS although I'm ashamed to say I left telnet open to the public internet.

The same can actually be said for Windows NT4 as well which tends to show up unexpectedly sticking things together.

Edit: some other notes that might be of interest to long running UNIX admins: Firstly the log files had eaten up nearly all the disk space (2Gb) so rotate them! Secondly the clock had drifted by about 5 days so use ntp. Thirdly, don't assume that if you leave something that it'll be sensibly secure in a few years so they need to be kept religiously up to date. Fourthly, plan for connectivity modes to change over time and keep them up to date; the company was down for 4 days whilst BT got their arse in gear (not that they cared as they had 3G that worked reasonably well). Fifthly, buy good quality hardware - it does last!
Applying Kolmogorov complexity in this context is a bit more tricky than you make it appear. Kolmogorov complexity measures the complexity of a string as the length of the shortest possible program that generates that string.

So to measure the complexity of a program P we have to write another program G that generates P and then take G's length. It's not a given that a generator for a verbose language is necessarily longer than a generator for a terse language.

But more importantly, what we want to measure is the mental effort required to write and understand code in different languages. To measure that effort in terms of Kolmogorov complexity, we'd have to write a program that generates our states of mind while programming.

Good luck with that ;-)

I agree with all of the above and I write Java code for a living currently (Android/Dalvik though, not for the JVM).

Another cool aspect of the last point (Go being small and lightweight) is that if you've got gcc and mercurial on a supported platform, building latest go from source is as easy as:

hg clone http://code.google.com/p.go
cd go/src
./make.bash

Got to build a local copy of the JVM and/or JDK for some reason? Good luck with that (even ignoring all the licensing, OpenJDK vs closed, etc)
Yes, I meant a room, _starting_ at $700. It is definitely not that hard to find. But ofc it won't come with all the luxuries that one might want.
Interesting article, then I went and checked out the documentation. I found it incredibly verbose and confusing. I wanted to see a simple example of how this is being used.

I went to the Github repository, and same thing. Anybody know where to find an intro to TheThing?

Yea, this is true of the greater software industry. It's not specific to the bay area.

One of my internships in the midwest was at a place where barefoot was ok, sandals were the norm, and M&Ms (specifically the peanut variety) were called "developer pellets" and consumed in great quantity.

It's same story with PostgreSQL aka Postgres.
"Almost all corruption issues are related to hardware problems, and most of the rest are due to documented-unsafe configurations like disabling fsync."

But of course doing that is up to the user. Using write-back caching with long sync interval and disabling fsync. It's really nice, gives better than SSD performance with regular HDD. Until you shut it down uncleanly, then you're screwed. But of course any sane person would use this only for temporary or other really non-important data which can be regenerated or lost without problems in such situation.

I'm using such configuration with ERP,BI/ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tasks. When I start the task, I anyway drop and recreate any tables required for the task. SO I don't really mind if data gets corrupted. That's just life. Doing safe commits would make task very slow.

Only good question is how to balance smartly, in application data / caching, database engine caching and file system caching. In cases where database runs on same server as the processing application.
Some do and some don't. It obviously depends on what you're doing.
I saw the movie today, had to chaperon my son and his girlfriend to the movie.

I noticed some flaws, but for a Hollywood movie they were using "comic book physics" which most scifi movies and TV shows use.

I assume that it takes place in an alternative universe where NASA didn't scrub the Space Shuttle program, and space stations are placed close to each other as some form of disaster planning, and of course commercial companies like Space-X and Virgin Galactic didn't exist.

I kind of thought it was like "The Net" but instead of running from the police and computer hackers, she was trying to escape from space and get back to Earth. :)

Anyway my son and his girlfriend saw it and loved it, and both decided to take astronomy because of it. They are both freshmen in high school taking physical science. I think the movie was meant for them. I had to explain after the movie how in space there is no air, and the space capsule parachute was tangled on the ISS and she had to cut it free. That it wasn't because it would slow down the capsule but that it had tethered it to the ISS. That if the chute was free there'd be no air to slow it down. They thought there was something in space the chute would slow it down on, but I told them it was a vacuum. Chutes only work in the atmosphere. That the friction of reentering the atmosphere is what had caused the heat that was burning up the other capsule she had to get on the Chinese station.

Some spoilers Warning

Let me see, Explorer Space Shuttle trying to repair a telescope with a new circuit board. Russians go crazy trying to blow up out of control spy satellite with some super missile that just wipes out all satellites and throws debris everywhere. NASA was not aware of it, and had miscalculated the velocity of the debris so there was no way to abort the mission before they got hit. Some super space suit thruster pack got George Cloney to fly around like Superman and save Sandra Bullock and get to the ISS. But the ISS has problems and the Russian space capsule has a deployed parachute in space. Bullock gets snagged on parachute cord, Cloney has to let go to save her or else she'll get lose. She has to use Russian capsule to get to the Chinese station that has a clone of the Russian capsule with a working parachute to get back to Earth. I won't say how it ends though.

Sure it was mostly animation for 90 minutes, and we saw it in IMAX. But the main point is that it gets teenagers to study more math and science as a result of seeing the movie and asking questions about the physics involved. So I can forgive the mistakes and "comic book physics", if it promotes education.
Yup, seems closely related to Tribler. Same people, same research program under same funding.

> In those cases, all the "dirty" labor is done by legal/illegal immigrants that are not eligible for said basic income and thus willing to work for much less.

So the introduction of a basic income would make demand for illegal immigrant labor increase. By standard economics, this means that the price of illegal immigrant labor would increase, so even the illegal immigrants would benefit. Sounds like a win/win to me.

Wouldn't watermarking solve this problem? Then people would know the original owners. Other people can't get away with claiming them as their own.
The reason Google Search works well is because through many of it's iterations it actually uses crowdsourced data from real humans to answer questions. Whether it is the simple initial vote of confidence by links, to google's ever changing internal data about clickthrough rates, personalized results, search volumes and general user behavior, or simply from the many hardcoded questions in certain format ("What is the capital of Spain?" or "distance from the sun to jupiter"), Google is continuously getting better at judging intent and answering questions. Similarly for a lot of the other technologies, such as translations, the real work is being done by consumers and users who generate the gigantic corpus of data.

The question is -- does IBM have access to the same amount of data?
“We’re observing your behaviors and connecting your profile to mobile devices,” said Eric Rosenblum, chief operating officer at Drawbridge. But don’t call it tracking. “Tracking is a dirty word,” he said.

If you don't want to call it "tracking", I suppose "observing your behaviors" could also be called "spying".
Given that they speak of "evil numbers", I think it is reasonable to assume that the Shamans did not understand how the algorithm works. The inventor may have, but it seems likely that the users did not.
Agreed, and here's the cooking metaphor.

A math degree in a job where the outcome is software is like a chemistry degree in Antony Bourdain's archetypical restaurant kitchen: amongst the sharp knives and hot tempers, you will be able to deduce and induce properly, but the food has to be served.

But a math degree can give you confidence so that, when confronted with formal stuff you don't know, you know that you can know with a bit of effort. This is useful, for example, when reasoning with properties of algorithms. This is not useful, for example, when arguing about object-oriented design patterns which are not formally defined.

So you will do well with the aspects of Machine Learning (as many others suggested) which can be formally studied; whereas the hand waving artsy pantsy experimental part will feel like cooking with Bourdain.

>> Setting up your own private fully encrypted (Harddrive) OpenVPN is quite easy and the only "secure" alternative.

You are misunderstanding the reason people use these services.
They use it to stay anonymous because many people use it and it is harder to distinguish what traffic belongs to what user.

If you setup your own vpn server, encrypted or not, it defeats that purpose because one could just listen on the other end.
Ha, here in Berlin I wear these on winter http://www.reinokauppa.fi/images/mreino_ruskea_0912_c1e_vs_b... and sandals on summer. M&Ms are not tasty, but fruits and club mate is a good alternative :)
