Get plenty of sleep the night before, try to get some form of aerobic exercise daily, start working on whatever task you need to focus on within 30 minutes of dosing (ideally before), stay hydrated, turn off notifications on your phone and

This is wrong, studies have shown that ADHD brains are fundamentally different from non-ADHD brains in the sense that they have reduced frontal lobe (read: executive functioning, ie. cognitive inhibition, working memory, decision making) ma

I was diagnosed in 2019 after a long series of conversations with a therapist following a work disaster that nearly cost me my job. Getting diagnosed was like finding the missing piece of the puzzle regarding my life. My schooling history s

AUMF doesnt authorize any of the operations going on in Africa. From the ouster of the Libyan leader which has led to a brutal civil war to operations in the Sahel region fighting various smaller terrorist groups.

I'm not exactly sure when it started but I've been amazed at how weak Congress is. Presidents are basically conducting war without Congressional approval, signing 'trade deals', vast executive orders, etc. all while Cong

Cynical view: the laws passed in the mid 20th century to lock out black and brown folks from homeownership are now starting to affect white people. Sprinkle historically low interest rates and you have the modern day housing market.

I'm surprised at this sentiment. The other major auto makers have had at least 5 years now to show what they can do in regards to developing EVs and the results are not good. Nissan's leaf is a solid car but with the recent depart

Interesting that the labor culture in Germany relative to the rest of the EU is not mentioned at all. Germany is one of the strongest nations to be an industrial worker and has various laws that are pretty unique to the nation, such as co-d

A key point for me in regarding big tech monopoly parts is that some of the biggest companies, when viewed from a potential market cap perspective, are possibly worth less than the sum of it's parts. Facebook has a market-cap of ~630B.

This seems like a really long argument just to end up at the main point being: "It really is sexism". The light bulb moment here is that it's not necessarily sexism on an individual level but on an institutional one. I believ

This is ridiculous. U.S troops (along with other coalition nations) are in Iraq at the request of the Iraqi government. If the Iraqi government formally requests us to leave, we should do so. Threatening to freeze their account otherwise is

A start-up at the intersection of 'developer tools' and 'NoCode' would be very exciting to me. I'd love to see tools that reflect some of the principles outlined in Bret Victor's blog. http://worrydr

I don't remember his name, but he was my history / home room teacher in 7th grade. In terms of pedagogy he was pretty good, probably not the best. But I'll always remember him for being the first black male teacher I ever had

Tulsi Gabbard on Joe Rogan. I don't agree with her on everything but listening to her ideas on US policy was a like getting into a plunge pool.

Really tired of the lazy trend in journalism where you find 2-3 "eccentric" software developers and label their lifestyle as a SV trend.

There is a huge problem with legislating in this country. Studies have shown that on the state level a large portion of laws passed are identical to model legislation proposed by think tanks and advocacy groups. The 2017 tax bill was massiv

It's a punishing leak. Akin to publicizing the pull out dates of troops. Amazon and Microsoft will sit tight and enjoy their duopoly.

I interviewed at Google last week and asked 3 of my interviewers if the constant churn of bad news from the outside gets to them. For the most part, no one seemed concerned and the biggest complaint was regarding leaks which make it harder

Why? An economy needs people to grow, how can you fund universal programs like this without tax revenue to find it.

NAFTA was a larger contributor to deindustralization than technological advancement but technology will be on of the leading causes of 'loss of jobs' going forward. What Yang doesn't account for is the dynamism of the America

Solid idea, I wonder about what type of scale makes an entire kitchen facility viable. I've known many chefs who were able to make a small catering career with under 5 employees, does a cloud kitchen help them out or are they better of

Generally think political ads on these platforms is an overblown issue, but one that it would be smart for these companies to nip in the bud. Most people still get their news through traditional channels, I genuinely feel that a lot of the

It's definitely overstated but I do think it exists particularly within social media where everything is public but the social bonds are weak.

The schadenfreude that occurs when someone tries to 'cancel' another person on social media, only for them to be 'cancelled' for their own previously uncovered misdeeds is pretty pleasing. [O] Unfortunately I think this

Abstractly, the question at hand is this: is a retailer that sells its own in house brand anticompetitive due to the information it has on potential competitor sales? Other large retailers: Target, Walmart, etc. have a higher percentage of
