> ADHD is a cultural representation...Not everyone on planet Earth actually considers that attention-deficiency requires drugging and dependency on industrialized pharmaceutical dealers.

Attention and focus are physical processes your brain executes to function normally. There is certainly a cultural aspect to the definition of normal, but its not a completely subjective interpretation as you're implying. Nor is over diagnosis synonymous with (the ailments) existence (i.e. it being over-diagnosed does not mean it does not exist). In the same way that lack of sleep can reduce your ability to focus, there are other physical processes that can go awry, and treatment (such as pharmaceutical intervention) can and does help people.

As an interesting aside, sleep apnea is sometimes mis-diagnosed as ADHD (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21808754)

It sounds like they'll go up to 43% for a "jumbo loan" (thats not just mortgage), and according to the article, it can go higher if the buyer is strong in other ways.

With interest rates for jumbo mortgages probably a bit above 4%, that would leave a two income household with 200-300K in income enough to purchase the median priced house.

I'm not saying it's an appealing idea, just that it isn't impossible.

Our fundamental problem is that we have a Typescript (<3) analytics payload that has to deal with lots of weird JS execution environments that we fundamentally can't recreate in a lab, which means we have no idea if collection code is working as intended until we run it in prod and have a manual look at the data.

But I started thinking about this in a bit more detail, and the things that make our problem domain hard don't necessarily have to block doing fast releases, since the failure scenarios that we want to block should largely be automatically detectable.

The parts that we haven't been able to automate though are around verifying that our payload, does not have any user visible impact on sites we run in, including DOM elements we want hidden definitely still being hidden, verification that we don't trip any SSL or other warnings, and we don't generate console warnings from the browser, etc. So if Selenium was not a complete hack job and had more knowledge of the browser chrome/UI, we could probably fully automate it.

It is somewhat surprising result in the world of short attention span. I stopped watching Game of Thrones after 3.5 seasons, stopped reading Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth after 4.5 books and Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber after 2.5 books (notice the pattern of dropping the things halfway through the installment). For me it sort of goes downhill from production value and/or captivating action to a pointless nonsense _with no end in sight_.

I would have turned the 5 card too. Why? Because it says to test the truth of the proposition. So it's saying all bets are off, whatever I told you may or may not be true. Only what you see (the table with the 4 cards) is real.

If you still assume that each of which has a number on one side and a colored patch on the other side holds, then no need to check 5. But if you focus on testing the final proposition, I'm not sure anymore of what I should assume...

Summary: poorly worded problem.

From where is your quote?

If you read my explanation, and the wiki article you would see it is wrong.

"Some of the HGST drives listed were manufactured under their previous brand, Hitachi. We’ve been asked to use the HGST name and we have honored that request." As I mentioned even if backblaze honors a request of Western Digital, it doesn't make the claim true. I researched on this topic some months ago, after I read backblaze previous article from late 2014 and bought several Toshiba (former HGST) drives.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5635/western-digital-to-sell-h... mentions it too:

"Western Digital will be allowed to acquire Hitachi’s 2.5” and SSD businesses, but not the 3.5” business. Instead Western Digital will be selling that business to Toshiba – factories and all – along with granting licenses for the necessary patents, which would allow Toshiba to effectively continue in the 3.5” market from where Hitachi left off. This would firmly establish Seagate, Western Digital, and Toshiba as the 3 major players in the hard drive business across all product segments."

Confirmation is the press release by WD: http://www.wdc.com/en/company/pressroom/releases/?release=f8...

So former Hitachi and HGST 3.5" drives are now Toshiba drives.

"The 3.5" desktop and server Hitachi drives are all manufactured by Toshiba. WD wanted to buy Hitachi's drive division so there would be a WD/Seagate drive duopoly, European regulators said they had to sell Hitachi's 3.5" to someone else before they would approve the merger. Toshiba stepped up and got it. So yes it is somewhat confusing. You buy one of these drives and it will say "HGST a Western Digital company" on the box, when in reality it's all made by Toshiba, probably in an old Hitachi factory." -- a comment, from backblaze HN post in Sept 2014: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8355860
Probably because they seem normal to you. I have found that if you were to compartmentalize behaviors independent of the person or other behaviors, you are far less likely to give it a name, never mind categorizing it as an illness.

<rant>
If people have ADHD and it needs to be "prescribed" a drug or treatment, then there are so many different habits and behaviors that can just as well be labeled as an illness.

Schools have used ADHD diagnosis to explain disruptive students. The truth of the matter was that those students turned out to be a little more difficult to handle simply because they demanded more of the teacher and were not content with either the style of information or the amount of info they were getting.

Which brings me back to the article: games exhaust mentally hyped minds. And that is supposed to be a "cure", just like physical activity is supposed to be a "cure" to restless bodies. </rant>
The confusion doesn't arise from missing the statement you quoted, but whether this is to be treated as part of the problem statement that you are testing for truth.

If you can take it as absolute truth that each card has a number on one side and color on the other, then you only have to check which color. If on the other hand you must verify both that each card has one color/one number and that even cards have blue on the back, then you must turn over every card to ensure that each has the expected quality of opposite side (i.e. that if you see a number, the opposite side has a color and vice versa).
This bullshit has got to stop. Let me explain neurochemical imbalances generally, once and for all.

Your brain is a machine to enact your choices. "You" are a small part of your brain; the executive center that makes moral judgements about potential courses of action and makes plans to get what you want.

Your brain has reference ranges of neurochemicals. When it is within those ranges, you have a full spectrum of choice available to you, with no particular physiological bias toward one choice over another. A healthy brain enacts "your" whims at precisely the weightings you give them. You have all the options.

When one of your neurochemicals falls out of the reference range, your brain enacts your choices in a biased manner. Your options become impaired. You no longer have the freedom to do exactly what you want.

In clinical depression, choices that would lead to positively-charged emotional stimuli (going out for a walk instead of laying on your bed doing nothing, for example) are down-weighted. Your brain is taking away "your" choice about whether to enjoy something.

In social anxiety, choices that would lead to socially-complex interactions (seeing friends; taking university courses; working in a job involving customer service) are down-weighted. "You" might enjoy doing these things, but your brain won't let you do them.

In ADHD, choices that would lead to short-term effort but only long-term reward (practicing an instrument, for example) are down-weighted. "You" want to learn to play the piano? Too bad; your brain doesn't.

These are not facets of personality. These are impairments in your available choices, just as much as missing a leg impairs your ability to choose to go dancing or being nearsighted impairs your ability to choose to sit at the back of a classroom.

And like the physical impairments, they have prosthetics—drugs that return your brain to the reference ranges of these neurochemicals. Like any prosthetic, the point of them is to give you back the options that having the impairment takes away.

Anti-depressants let you choose to go do something fun. You don't have to. You can stay in. But the choice is no longer being made for you, by your brain.

Anxiolytics let you choose to socialize. You don't have to. You can be an introvert. But now you don't have to worry about someone making a demand of you based on an expectation that all the options are equally easy.

ADHD medication lets you choose to work on a task with no short-term reward. You can still play video games or goof off, but now you can also start—and finish—writing a book. You no longer have to select from the subset of hobbies and jobs your brain is willing to put up with.
This is needed if only so I don't have to get sucked into a great first book like Wizard's First Rule to then have to deal with 100 page lectures on Objectivism if I want to find out what happens to the characters later in the series.
My (french) college had a partnership with an american college so we could come to study in the U.S. That U.S. university then sponsored us CPT/OPT which allow you to work in the U.S. for our internship.

I found an internship at slideshare and after 4 months they decided they wanted to keep me as a full time employee and said they would sponsored my H-1b.

We missed the fist filling opportunity so we had to wait few months to get in it, at this time the race to H-1b was not as crazy as now.

What industrialized product did you take that let you choose to take more pharmaceuticals?

Perhaps it was the advertising and other marketing materials that produced the chemical change in your "brain" to further prompt you to go get addicted to industrial drugs.

Well, if it works for you: good for you. Doesn't work for everyone.
It's an emotional topic because it involves giving amphetamines to children. Either you don't believe in ADHD and thus think kids are being prescribed/forced to take hard drugs for no reason other than a cultural and educational flaw.

Or you do believe in it and want to justify why giving amphetamines to children is a good thing. Maybe you take them yourself.

Either way, it's emotional because people are heavily invested in their choice since the opposing side will basically view them as monsters.

> Let me explain neurochemical imbalances generally, once and for all.

You know that the neurochemical explanation for depression is mostly bullshit, right?

Note that I'm not saying that meds don't work, but there's a reason why first line treatment for depression or for anxiety disorders in the UK is not meds but is a (more expensive) talking therapy: the evidence is stronger.

EDIT: also, stop feeding the fucking troll.
"A Backblaze Vault is comprised of 20 Storage Pods, with the data evenly spread across all 20 pods. ... Drives in the same drive position in each of the 20 Storage Pods are grouped together into a storage unit we call a “tome”. ... Every file uploaded to a Vault is broken into pieces before being stored. Each of those pieces is called a “shard”. ... Each file is stored as 20 shards: 17 data shards and 3 parity shards. Because those shards are distributed across 20 storage pods in 20 cabinets, the Vault is resilient to the failure of a storage pod, or even a power loss to an entire cabinet."

From https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architect..., which is well worth taking a few minutes to read. Their approach to data resiliency is pretty neat and full of the kind of common-sense reasoning that warms the very bottoms of my ol' sysadmin's heart ("use simple parts" and "build the tools you need to run your infrastructure", among others).
The Patagonia Clothing Company’s Anti-Growth Strategy
I have a somewhat unique perspective on this subject, and one of the insights I have gleamed is that gay and lesbian dating sites generally have much higher success rates. The reason is that perceived risk is much lower. Generally, when a man and a woman go out on a semi-blind date, the woman has a lot more to be afraid of. The guy can turn out to be a "creep" for example. Or if she decides at some point to have sex with him, she might get pregnant with little commitment from him. She has a lot to lose from a bad date than he does.

On the other hand, two guys or two girls going out on a date is not as big a deal. The perception is that it's safer. There is of course a lot to worry about, but the playing field is usually a lot more level. This of course is offset by the fact that on most dating sites your pool of gay or lesbian candidates is smaller, but your chances of them responding will generally be higher.
Thanks Geoffrey, I appreciate the kind words.

Back in the '90s, we used to pass messages around from payphones for free by stuffing them in the name recording on automated collect call authorization systems.

We'd call the 800 number or dial 0 to setup a collect call and when the machine would prompt for a name, we'd stuff the message. The end result was the recipient receiving an automated phone call that would announce: "Hello. This is Pacific Bell. You have a collect call from WEREATTHEBEACH. Press 1 to acc..."

That's why with FB it's better to private message. When I see myself tagged in a post with 30 other people I can safely ignore it. It's usually someone trying to send out a social message. If someone messages me directly, I know it's important enough and take the time to respond. YMMV.
I somehow split the difference on figuring out the logic and following the wrong intuition.

I took as truth each card has a color on one side and a number on the other (see others' comments for where this could be construed as part of the thing you must prove).

I knew I must flip the eight to confirm the color on its back.

I intuited that I should flip the blue.

I thought for a moment before deciding on my final answer, and concluded that I must flip the green to ensure that it does not have an even on the back.

I pondered a moment and somehow decided that order is important, and so that I should flip the 8 first, then the green, and finally the blue in that order (not sure on how I arrived at requiring an order).

I selected 8, blue, green, and was informed I was incorrect.

I thought and realized that the truth of the proposition did not exclude the possibility of odds having blue backs.

I arrived at the correct conclusion that I must flip the 8 and the green.

Well, you say "completely different", but if two kinds of coffee are completely different, how would you describe the difference between coffee and lime juice? There must be some degrees.

For better or worse some of the people who buy expensive cables and AC filters believe the sound is substantially different. I don't know if they'd say "completely different" but "completely changes the way the album sounds" seems likely...

FWIW a lot of renters don't pay those prices. If you are buying a house, you are going to have to pay full market value. However, the rental market has different influences, because of widespread rent control and the fact that property taxes are based on the price of the sale (which is way lower than market value for any property owned for more than 10 years). This isn't necessarily good for a multitude of reasons, but it means a large percentage of renters are not paying skyrocketing prices.

First, my bona fides: I own a long-standing SharePoint training and consulting company, was one of the first SharePoint MVPs (there were only two of us in the first award cycle for STS), and I continue to devote my professional life to teaching about and extending SharePoint.

What I like: PowerShell. Nearly everything about it. Composability and grammar, pipelining, introspection ... It's a wonderful thing. Installing SharePoint via PowerShell is a system automator's dream, IMHO.

When you're using the Windows machine it's on. Or using objects with remoting support baked in. Or have configured PowerShell remoting, which is a bit of a security black box for me to understand, and also, still requires Windows.

Now, the devops dream, one I think is shared by more people than are willing to speak up about it. I know there are third party apps that enable this dream, but they're so unknown and themselves have security issues, so devops-focused folks haven't embraced it. But with this dream, envisioned with the below sample fictional exchange from my terminal, a new world is open. One with Ansible/Chef/Salt/Vagrant/etc singing in the choir. One with GitHub-hosted repos proclaiming how a new Capistrano plugin will deploy their new ASP.Next app from their Mac development environment to their Windows IIS host. One where I and others can say, "hallelujah, hot damn, now we're talkin'!"

is the natural human condition. In the past they called it "building character" or whatever but it's always been an effort to get people to value the long-term reward vs. short-term. Drugs are just an alternative short cut to what used to be a decades long grind to build the ability to delay gratification.
