Hiw does "woke" pose a threat to national security? What exactly do you mean by "wokeness"?

While the economic output per person has indeed increased 4-5x, the inflation adjusted median household income has only increased by 50% (1.5x). Government spending is not the issue here. The things you mentioned are always a problem becaus

Billionaires generally do not have a knaxj for value creation. What they do generally have is an egregious amount of greed and a total lack of empathy which enables an incredible amount of exploitation.

Yes, having eyes is incredibly dangerous. It allows people to select a target from anything they can see.

I vaguely recall hearing something similar, with the reasoning being that there was a fear of future hostility enabled by Emperor driven fanaticism. That said, I've also heard that there wasn't really enough time given for a respo

Yes - unfortunately we have a lot of leftover usages of asbestos. Historically, it was used a lot. My father even remembers playing around in the bush as a kid, and using asbestos for chalk a bunch of time to mark stuff on trees. My friends

Asbestos has been completely banned in Australia since 2003.

Sorry, I will try to make it more clear. NAND is more complex than AND, in the sense that it is more expressive than AND (having functional completeness which AND does not). Similarly, it can be built from other less complex operators (AND

Not the person you asked, but the initial point was taking that idea to the extreme. The concept of "one thing" in the NAND case is more extreme (in terms of granularity). No need to be sorry, it's ok.

The self-assessment is less to do with how efficient I was, and more based on the fact I get things done sooner, because I don't fuck around and get distracted every few minutes. Completing a task significantly sooner/earlier, bec

I believe it was 30mg (10mg, 3x a day) that I started on. Dosage was adjusted after about a year, when I began to notice the dosage wasn't really having the same effect. Was upped to my current dose that I've been on since then.

I always find that portion of ADHD somewhat amusing. Getting fixated on a task and unable to context switch is a big thing, which I think is surprising for many people.

For me, I've been on dexamphetamine sulphate for about five years. I had to have my dose adjusted after about a year, because I experienced what you mentioned (decreased efficacy). Once the dose was increased, the effect became pretty

I disagree with this. For me, the energy is because I have to use less energy doing basic day to day shit. Unmedicated, it takes far more effort and work, and leaves less energy for later tasks.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was about 27-28. I've been on medication since then, and the impact has been amazing. It makes me wish my condition was diagnosed much earlier. So much unnecessary difficulty (Especially in school) that

America wants freedom for America above everything else. It's why they engage in subversive and potentially destabilising operations abroad (in order to "protect" their own freedom). Internally, the situation is not much diff

That sounds very close to a "No True Scotsman" type fallacy. I've done a fair bit of consulting in the past working with Scala, and my experience closely matches the one described in the grandparent post - the issues happened

The big "wtf" for me was learning that the US has, by far, the highest public healthcare expenditure of any country in the world. Looking at this data, it seems like it pays almost 50% more than the next highest country (over 9k p

People are dependent on government anyway. Your life is very much in the hands of whichever entity wields the most power. Sometimes this power is direct and immediate (like a tyrannical despot). Other times it's less direct but no less

It only interoperates with Java in a trivial sense. Using Hibernate for example is a real pain in the ass in Scala, because of its insistence on using its own collections.

Although quite different, this made me think of how COBOL is largely in maintenance at many places, but pays premium rates for developers.

Yup, pretty much. However, the implications of veneer can be significant. Providing a single unified interface which provides granular, unified querying of disparate types has several benefits. In particular, it can simplify logic in the co
