Thanks for typing that up. It's a very good way of describing this. I think autistic people are better at dropping their egos and working towards goals. As an autistic person, I fucking LOVE building a plan with a clear set of goals an

Don't get too bogged down on the modern "autism" term. It's almost certainly going to change as we learn more about it. Right now autism and neurodivergent cover huge swaths of behaviors/traits. This is especially t

Allegedly? Gait analysis isn't anything new and has been used for a long time. Israeli airport security is a good example.

Autism is being over diagnosed in the US for sure. It might be different in Germany but I know plenty of folks who have been diagnosed autistic after just a conversation or two with their therapist. I know multiple therapists who have had p

I have several friends who are therapist/mental health professionals. They've all mentioned parents shopping around for autism diagnosis for their children who have ADHD. Apparently ADHD isn't cool, but autism is weirdly seen

Gait analysis has been a part of security for decades. Israel is probably the best example.

Could be. There are also a bunch of physical reasons this might happen. You could have just learned to walk weird, as well.

A lot of people are really desperate to be in groups. Humans do this naturally. A lot of labels put people in boxes or limiting groups. This changes how they think about themselves. Instead of discovering new things people will reject/

Autism wasn't redefined like that. Not by the medical community. Social media took hold and it became the new OCD. People think liking straight lines on their desk means they have OCD. Same with autism, people think not liking a loud n

Disagree. Hillsboro has plenty of businesses from ex-intel employees. Just off the top of my head I can think of a dozen or so. They're just not in tech for the most part. I can think of 2 breweries, a standardization company, two mach

Eh yes and no. Intel absolutely flubbed some nodes and bad employee execution was a part of it. But management has consistently tried to tell customers what they want/need. Intel has a history of developing products with no customer ba

Because it was incentive based. Intel has to hit milestones to get funding. Everything Intel does takes years . Intel is also likely going to lose hundreds of millions in incentives from Oregon for failure to meet hiring objectives, but th

I live in Hillsboro. Home sales are fine. There are whole subdivisions selling out before they are finished. The $180k figure is also inflated. Most folks being laid off don't make over $100k.

My biggest issue with Win11 is that it constantly forces AI down our throats while removing our ability to do basic things without clicking into sub menus. It's pretty clearly a push to get people to use a product inside of the OS, whi

Stop blaming China and India. They're an easy excuse. And yes, we do need to give up several aspects of our lifestyles. Meat consumption absolutely must come down. Air travel must come down. Disposable goods, and consumer plastics, mus

And the other point is we shouldn't have to adapt as fast as we're having to. We still don't have to. We could change our consumption in a few years and still avoid a lot of this. But we won't

More excuses. This is how people justify that SUV or truck when a subcompact works fine. I agree we should save time in some aspects of our lives. But justifying more excess because we think we might one day cure world hunger is asinine. I
