I think it's much more likely that ADHD is N different things and Autism is M different things, where there is some overlap between N and M. I get what you're saying, I just think in order to really progress how we understand&#x2F

Maybe universities in general have this problem but Harvard most certainly does not.

It's not a hotel, it's some sort of corporate subletting situation. These people broke into an apartment unit. >7% of home burglaries resulted in a violent encounter. Given that only ~27% of the time someone was even home that&

A dude swiping some snacks from Target I can understand, but people that break into private residences are definitely a threat to society. It is easy for that to escalate into a violent encounter and it makes people feel legitimately unsafe

The algorithmic news feed incentivizes misinformation in a way that the old chronological feed did not. Facebook absolutely helped to create this situation in the first place.

The first time I smoked a lot of weed I felt like if I didn't focus really hard on the present I would go back in time. I was still functioning enough to know that could not be real, but it sure felt that way. I didn't realize unt

I mean that's one specific example, but I get what he's saying. I'm super verbal and I used to do problem sets in college with a friend that obviously had much better visuospatial abilities than me. >75% of the time he&#x2

There was some work making a version of Edison's technique that actually uses sleep stage data to decide when to trigger the wake up signal: https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/sleep-creativity/overview... One

That sentence is about their reaction to the visiting professor's whiteboard though, prior to Earnest's involvement.

Earnest is not the one that wrote the list. He had nothing to do with it until he decided to reply all to the apology email.

Degrees are really straightforward to verify (at least from any accredited domestic school), a standard new hire background check would catch this. Obviously tech companies just don't think the degree is a super valuable signal, which

That seems like a really inefficient way to filter out people who don't have a CS degree, given that you enter your degree info on the app (and they background check all hires). I agree with you though, I don't understand why the

The person you were responding to (and a few others in this thread) seemed confused about the distinction.

Purely from a weight loss perspective that's probably true, but in the long run there are other issues with being too sedentary. So I think this is still an important thing to be mindful of with the shift to WFH.

I joined some local recreational sports leagues in the last couple years, and plan to stay involved even if I go back to the office. It probably depends on the particular league (and you), but I've found the social expectation to show

Yeah if I made plans with a group to go see a yet to be specified show and then got left out because they later decided on Hamilton, with no additional show planned for the full group, that is a sign about the friendship IMO. But it's

Elderly people, many of whom received their last dose >9 months ago, are definitely at some risk again despite being technically vaxxed. IMO boosters were not pushed hard enough for this population in the early fall. Now Thanksgiving is

I don't think it needs to be an XOR. Being forced to cram a very rigid curriculum was not conducive to learning for me. But with no external pressure at all I also find it hard to deeply learn about a topic (I bounce around a lot). For

Addicts (homeless or not) frequently make decisions that are not in their best interests. Decisions they would not make if they were not sick, including actively resisting help. I'm not saying that help should be forced upon huge swath

This may be a problem, but it is not a problem at the level of the university IME. Universities are happy with any research that brings in a good amount of grant money. Sure it is gravy when they can make money on something like CRISPR, but

We are talking about the music video for a rap song, not anybody claiming to give legitimate medical advice. The song is pretty dumb IMO, but I do not like to see tech companies deplatforming art because of "misinformation". Who t

They do placebo-controlled trials of therapy techniques like CBT, although for an educated patient it may not be a great placebo - similar to the problem with trying to placebo psychedelics. But basically you can assign the patients random

The meds available for ADHD are remarkably effective relative to other psychiatric disorders though. For depression there are a number of (placebo-controlled) studies showing CBT + meds reduces symptoms more than either alone do, to the poi

I agree I didn't usually see people straight up drop out, but I've been around a couple power hours where I wasn't drinking (so more observant) and more than half the room was being really loose with the one shot per minute t

Yeah by drinks I mean the alcohol-based unit, not 10 glasses of Vodka lol.

Power hours can definitely get you utterly trashed, but I think a big reason people would stop/slow down half way through those is that it's a bit physically uncomfortable. I don't think I could do a power hour with non-alcoh

Ironically the people I know that are the most extreme on the social justice spectrum are also the most likely to talk about how justice shouldn't be about revenge and we should focus on rehabilitation wherever possible. Which I agree

No shit, that doesn't change anything I said. The definition of depression is hilariously vague, the last thing we should do is lump additional (relatively) well defined issues under "just depression". Besides, there are cert

The vast majority of depressed people do not demonstrate symptoms of gaming addiction. Even if one were to accept the argument that gaming addiction is always caused by underlying depression, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be cons

Bit of a tangent but what are you using to learn Hungarian? I've been casually using Duolingo which is decent for picking up vocab and the pronunciations like you mentioned. However I don't like the way it presents the grammar rul
