Well it should not be too difficult to locate maintenance and build records to determine if such an issue could have existed with the this plane and if it were corrected or not.

However as someone pointed out, could it really continue to fly at this point, let alone where did the debris go?

Ahh, this is the important point USD start as digital currency. When the fed 'makes money' they are not talking about physical objects. (There are other views of the money supply that include IOU's as money but that's something of a side issue and can also apply to bit-coins or stocks when someone shorts it.)

More importantly the physical dollars only go into circulation after removing a digital dollar that already exists.
I won't dispute that the definition of ADHD as it exists in clinical guidelines is entirely too broad. I do think that there is a "condition" that exists in a smaller subset of the population that is described by the guidelines of ADHD, and it's not a sleep disorder or anything like that (in fact, my ADHD is far worse if I sleep too much.)

But the article is potentially harmful because it discounts this population and pretends that there's nothing there. The author says "there is no such thing as ADHD" without allowing for the possibility that there actually is, but it's far too broadly applied and needs to be tightened up.
But that applies to literally every credit card transaction.
If the reporter is professing an opinion that Dorian is Satoshi based on their reading of the facts as they saw them, then it would be very difficult to claim this as libellous unless you could also prove that it was both false and an injurious thing to accuse someone of, in and of itself.
Yeah, it's going to be awesome when we can do this: https://github.com/codecombat/codecombat/wiki/Summer-Project...

That camera is rather ugly indeed, but as an (non digital) M owner:

> Recessed dials? A photographer wouldn't be caught dead without quick access to ISO, aperture values, shutter speed, and exposure metering/bracketing.

Plenty of cameras that photographers use don’t have direct access to many of those settings.

> Fumbling around with fingernails inside a recessed dial is the last thing you want to do when a child is running between two trees and the sunlight is streaming down on him, mottled from the shadows of the trees, and you've got the perfect shot.

You would miss that shot with any Leica M ever made, unless you were already set at ƒ/8 and hyperfocal, in which case this one would work just as well.

You would probably miss that shot with an H5D too, and I’m pretty sure some photographers find that useful.

Finally, that camera was not made to take pictures. It’s sad, maybe, but that’s just the way it is.

Criticism gone too far, I think.
It's time for this old joke again:

A software engineer is firing a rifle on the shooting range, but not hitting any targets. Puzzled, he puts his finger into the barrel, and pulls the trigger. Seeing as his finger is blow off, he cheerfully reports to the instructor:

- On my end the bullets are flying out, so the problem is somewhere on your end, with the target!
I don't feel that Adderall even remotely makes me "like everybody else" - I feel it has some benefits toward reducing a specific difficulty I have and that those benefits outweigh the minor downsides.

To me that sounds like you thoroughly did not enjoy it and thus
got distracted and 'procrastinated'. Why did you choose to work
in an office if it was making you so unhappy?

I certainly don't blame you for making this assumption, since I didn't flesh out my (not terribly interesting) story. And I also agree that there are a lot of upsides that come with ADHD, though of course it's hard to tell which positive personality traits are /due/ to ADHD and which are coincidental.

However, the truth is that I actually tried starting my own business I was passionate about /before/ even considering an ADHD diagnosis!

Just like you said, I decided my inability to focus in an office environment was due to a lack of motivation. (And that was partially true, it turned out, but wasn't the whole story)

So I started my own business. Now, at the time, I didn't think about ADHD very much at all but my opinion of it was that it was a thing they over-diagnosed in kids so they could sell a bunch of pills and basically make excuses for boring teachers and ineffective parenting.

After a couple of years creating the business it was pretty clear I was hitting the limits of my ability to focus even when doing "the fun stuff" like writing code for a thing I was passionate about. And don't forget that running a business also requires a lot of deadly boring stuff too - taxes, regulations, paperwork, etc.

It was at that point I started looking at a lot of things and decided maybe exploring the ADHD thing made sense after all.

As far as I can tell, the FOBO app and service is a rebranding and minor pivot from their original (and surviving) Yardsale app. I have used Yardsale a few times over the past 2 years, so I suspect that was their primary effort after going through YC.
It's not a "gift" or an "advantage", but it's not necessarily a disadvantage either IF the individual learns the proper coping strategies and can structure their work/life in a way that can make the ADHD less of a liability. It takes hard work.
Would love to try this, but it says it's not yet available?
Would you care to share an example? I've never encountered a justifiable need to write ;; outside the REPL. The only uses of ;; I've encountered "in the wild" were hardly reasonable: essentially top-level code that was not wrapped in a "let () = ..." statement.

Tackling the impossible
> You're bending over backwards to avoid admitting sexism exists in tech.

I'm saying that sometimes the answer is to remember that people are different full stop rather than jump straight to gender as the key difference, which may give you a mistaken analysis of the problem. If you have a situation that disadvantages quiet nice people and most of your quiet nice people are women, this results in negative outcomes for women but the best path to a solution is to figure out how to fix it for -all- quiet nice people.

I've made no claim either way in this thread so far as to whether sexism exists in tech - what I've done is to point out certain things that were cultural/management fuckups in general rather than specifically sexist, and to suggest that calling them what they are will make them easier to fix. It seems reasonably likely to be true that the origin of the bias against 'quiet nice people' comes out of gender roles, but that which is sanely classifiable as structural sexism at an institutional and cultural level by the time it manifests at the ground level is hurting everybody holding those personality traits and is therefore best dealt with as it is.

Or: Patriarchy theory is a useful analysis tool but I'm damned if I'm going to try and teach it to everybody if I can get results at least as effective much more quickly by making them realise they're being an asshole to nice people.

Honestly, I would rate the probability as pretty high that the culture also has a sexism problem, and that there will be plenty of issues that are best addressed in those terms, but that's orthogonal to the point I was trying to make.
In a similar vein, I'm now accelerating my plans to move to something like this: http://phpmygpx.tuxfamily.org/phpmygpx.php because Google has made Maps where I can no longer just paste a URL to a KMZ on another server and have it popup in maps, shareable with friends and family. It's not lockin, but it's a similar symptom of relying on software that you have no control over (closed source). I distinctly remember similar grumblings when Google shutdown Reader . . . .
There was a bit of jest in the smugness, but in my case it was because I inherited the SSL responsibilities from an outgoing engineer and randomly thought to myself "I wonder when these servers certs expire?". It's the type of thing that multiple people need to keep an eye out for, not just one person in the event of inevitable turnover. For something that can entirely take down your site/service for an indeterminate period of time that is entirely out of your control, it's a necessary evil.
Random numbers don't always need to be cryptographically secure. In situations like games you might just want to use a function with low resource requirements.

If you want a cryptographically secure random generation you should use SecRandomCopyBytes(3) which I think comes from an isolated hardware random number generator and should be tough to monitor through software.

This is just the way Apple has always been. Keep up or fall behind. They're not focused on providing backwards compatibility.

I get what you're saying about how it's definitely going to be slower, but I don't understand why the read/write time to the hardware matters if the hardware is buffering the last 100 timings or so. What I'm trying to point out is that you don't have to make your entire system down to the keyboard real time - you only need to make the tiny piece that is doing the physical process real time (with some very simple logic gates that can run far faster than any general purpose CPU), and then sending the results over the PCI/whatever bus in batches later to be processed.

> Try that on Linux or OSX.

On OS X that would certainly fail (even much software that's between 5-10 years old would fail) this test.

But Linux provides a very stable ABI.

20-year backwards compatibility might be stretching it for Linux, since it's only around 20 years old to begin with. But if you have (e.g.) a statically linked Debian binary from the late 1990s, I'd bet almost anything it would still work on your desktop today.

Assume you work on Keynote, so you have access to all the code and documentation for the 09 format. On average computers are now faster and have more RAM.

The late Joan Robinson produced some interesting writings[1] but there are few economists indeed who credit her with proving Ricardo wrong about comparative advantage. That's because in fact her writings about Ricardo's ideas focused on different issues, and Ricardo was and is right that each party in free trade enjoys comparative advantage in trade with the other party. Economic growth through free trade has been the path to prosperity for Taiwan (where I have lived), Hong Kong (where I have visited more than once), and quite a few other countries all around the world. Portugal's economy during the years she studied was not characterized by following Ricardo's advice.

> If I buy $1000 worth of candy and sell it for $1000 every month, do I have a "$12,000 run rate?"

Yes. As far as I know, "run rate" refers to taking data from a shorter time period and extrapolating it to a year, and the obvious implication is that revenue is the data point being extrapolated.
Hi dkhenry,

That would be a really fun game mode! It would require a lot of thinking about game mechanics and the technical challenges involved, but it's definitely possible, but probably not in the immediate future. I think if we implemented features like a resource system and figured out how to make the game performant, a persistent MMO would be really entertaining, something like coding the AI to a long-running Starcraft game.
I used one for 2 years and now my wife uses it every day. What's supposed to be wrong with it?

This. So much this.

But, think of all the children we can get hooked on ritalin! Think of the lifetime of revenue (for big pharma)!
> But, as harshreality was getting at, if we used 'proof' that strictly, nothing outside of pure math and logic would be a 'proof'.

True that. But isn't that an important part of the scientific method (at least in the karl-popper-scientific-method sense), and part of the point of science, really? Strictly speaking, you can't prove anything using the scientific method; only 'falsify' it (hence Popper's 'falsificationism', 'science as falsification', etc.) To 'kinda-sorta-prove' something in science, you formulate a null hypothesis, and then attempt to falsify it. But strictly speaking, one is not able to 'prove' anything (only provide weak/strong evidence for/against something.)
I am 35, soon 36. I have worked as project manager for 3 years when I was around 30, then quit the job because it bored me to death. This wasn't career for me. Now I am developing a lot. I have a team, but its so small that I write a lot of code myself.

I enjoy planning and developing systems. I have seen all aspects of working in small (~100 persons) and big companies (160.000 persons). Why should I switch to management when I am good with what I do? Being a developer is not only a step in career, its also passion. Being a manager is not the next step, its a completely different job. You plan deadlines and HR and speak with customers and their contracts. This is not the next level, its something different. You can do this also without being a software developer in a previous life.

There are not that many older devs I know. The people of whome I speak are between 40 and 50. These folks are truly experts in their domains. I learn a lot when speaking with them. In some cases 40+ devs act and work like 20+ devs: they learn. Imagine what you can do with a knowledge grown by 20 years? Age really doesn't matter, except you want to do a completely different job after your software development time.

I have not suffered any salary drops so far. I could have steadily increased my income. However I decided before around 3 years to stop this and work as a freelancer. My time is limited, my rate is pretty normal and so I know pretty much what is possible in a year and what not. You could say, I have limited myself to a certain income. On the other hand since then I only worked on projects I liked. I have never written a single line of code of something I didn't like (except that one time, but I fired the customer).

For me, being an "old" dev with 35 as you maybe would call it I have realized that I found my high in my career: the full freedom of what I do and what not.

I get a lot of offers because of my experiences and I have the choice. Please consider "earning this choice" as an important point in your career. Many can have more money; a few can have the freedom.

That said, the 30+ or 40+ devs I know are not shy to switch jobs. I know a few who think like that, but well: I was 32 when I quit my job. Now I am 35 I don't need "safety". With 33 my son was born, I still didn't feel like that.

If you would ask me: don't worry about your career. Spend your time with the things you like. Life is to short to waste it with people who tell you what a "great career" is.

There is nothing "cooperative" about accessing someone's network against their wishes. Indeed, it's anti-cooperative as well as disrespectful.

The issue, fundamentally, isn't whether digital boundaries are drawn along the same lines as physical ones. They transcend physical boundaries. The issue is whether we give the same deference to digital boundaries as to physical ones. I.e. whether we treat kids hacking into AT&T's network just for shits and giggles the same as their breaking into AT&T's corporate offices with no particular malintent in mind.
I don't doubt that inflammation is one of the myriad things that can cause attention issues.

One thing to realize re: supplements is that, by biological design, it's really hard to get chemicals into your brain simply by digesting them.

There are a lot of steps between eating something and it winding up in your brain.

I mean, the very first thing that happens to ingested items is a bath in the insane mixture of acid and bacteria that is your stomach. A lot more has to happen before it even reaches your brain-blood barrier, which is a thing specifically designed by evolution to keep things out of your brain.
Sex and the Startup: Men, Women, and Work
There's a little hole in your argument. You've lumped "meds" in with "drugs". And sure, they fit into the broader category. But let us, for the sake of argument, say that "meds" is a term generally used for substances that effectively treat a problem/condition, while "drugs" (at least as it seems to be used here) is a much more general term.

People will self-medicate when they can, and they will use anything that reduces the symptoms they perceive as problematic even when those substances have detrimental effects elsewhere in their lives. Taking into account only correlation, there are abnormally high numbers of people with chronic depression or dysthymia among alcoholics and those addicted to other CNS depressants (like barbiturates), of people with bipolar disorder among cocaine addicts, and of schizophrenics among people who even the most pro-weed activists would say use an, um, immoderate amount of hallucinogens.

So it is unsurprising that people who have something like ADHD (for want of a better label) may find relief for the symptoms they feel in some substance that at least gives them the perception that the problem is ameliorated (whether or not it actually helps functioning). And since the problem reduction is imperfect or short-lived, there is apt to be a bit of overuse or compensation for diminishing returns (rather like the "sunk cost" phenomenon). There is nothing to suggest that medications that actually work tend to be abused among that population (accidental missing or doubling notwithstanding - I do that with my Parkinson's meds occasionally, and it ain't fun when I do).

As a long-time recovered addict, I have no trouble saying this: the biggest problems with medications that you actually need is that they only do what they're supposed to do. (Post-surgery morphine was a complete bust, and it went away before I could rely on it for anything but high-level pain.)
The post didn't ease my concerns either. To further extend your last point, I don't understand why FB would spend so much acquiring whataspp if they didn't plan to mine the data. I told my friends to expect targeted FB ads based on our whatsapp convos in the future.

Sure, but most credit card transactions have other methods of at least somewhat verifying the charge. Receipts, security camera footage, IP addresses, shipment records, established businesses unlikely to randomly pick people to screw, etc.
I think fay uses its own FFI, but with haste you just use the normal FFI to call normal javascript functions the same way you would interface with C code from haskell. There's no need for special bindings or anything. You could certainly make a wrapper for jquery if you were crazy (and I'm sure someone has already done so), but this idea that you need some special DOM library to do things that javascript already does out of the box is kinda odd.
