CT scans irradiate you, MRIs don't really. Just don't have any metal in you.

It's interesting but a bit confusing. Merging timelines of titles, summaries, videos, TikTok posts, etc. means there's no reading rhythm when scrolling. I wish they'd make it visually easier to separate elements. But it match

Thanks for sharing.

I also fit that definition and wouldn't generalize. What I've observed is that the places that contain a lot of asocial people also have an above-average rate of sociopathic behaviors. This certainly fits my CS experience.

But I did mean antisocial. Why do you think I can’t make the difference? I said that I believed there was some statistical overlap between the two.

by raccoonDivider 3y ago
In my limited experience, both asocial and antisocial would match. People who don’t care about other people can also find it easier to harm them.

I’m pretty sure that a lot of people would have antisocial behavior if it weren’t for the fear or inconvenience of consequences. You don’t have to match a DSM definition to be a bad person.

If I may ask, did these traits make the relationship unviable, or did it end for other reasons? Do you think treatment (CBT, etc.) would have helped?

by raccoonDivider 3y ago
Not to start a “does anyone else feel like this??” thread, but I wonder how common these traits are in tech workers. It’s kind of a cliché that CS attracts antisocial nerds. If a serious study were made, how many of those would actually mee

That makes a real difference for people making the median salary in western countries. Lots of people in finance, tech, etc. can obviously afford not to care but that's a minority.

Aren't those separate and in different countries? And one of them is an acquisition. This case makes more sense.

What do you think the US wants? Attrition Russia’s army?

The US might have less incentive to support Taiwan though. They've never really committed to defending it.

Reverse-engineering the technique from the answer is a different skill from creating the answer though. The latter requires more creativity, the former is deduction.

Thanks for that paper, but I find it weird: - There is no common definition of ADHD, just a list of two hundred unrelated claims made by papers that were found with a search engine. That makes them impossible to compare or relate to each ot

Is there an actual consensus on what ADHD _is_, besides a catch-all for some common concentration and hyperactivity symptoms? People online assert a lot of things, such as "it's a dysfunction of dopamine pathways", "it&#

How high a level are we talking? Is it common to have so few enzymes that a non-insane dose of coffee per day overwhelms the liver?

I've fasted for an entire day a few days at a time, it didn't really make me feel miserable.

The graph titled "Caffeine Accumulation With Long Half Life" is weird. Isn't that not how half-life works? A higher blood level should mean faster elimination, but here it acts like the baseline changes each day. No matter ho

Since we're exchanging anecdotal evidence, I also feel better with coffee. It lets me control how energized I am. Helped me avoid burnout and generally makes me feel a bit better no matter how much I take.

by raccoonDivider 3y ago
Doesn't that make the first few days of fasting miserable? Have you tried progressively reducing the dosage for a few weeks in preparation?

by raccoonDivider 3y ago
How much did you drink? I found the same effect when I didn't know how to use coffee and drank at any hour, multiple times a day, from the office's coffee machine, and couldn't make it at home. Obvious result: bad sleep, anxi

Always wondered that. It means everyone's salary is determined by the highest-cost of living area you want to hire from. Doesn't really make any sense seen that way.

Isn't there a middle ground? Suppose we could make ICBMs useless (known storage sites for bombers and ground-based missiles, lots of time and distance to track and destroy them in the air) while shorter-range weapons stayed relevant (s

I've always wondered why infosec people love this expression so much. Maybe "nation state" just sounds more impressive. Who cares what the state is composed of? Or is it "nation/state", one or the other?

I assumed they were just using near-zero interest rates to make bets on future growth/start all the projects they could/vacuum up all the workers they could and they always planned to scale down if the economy pushed them to?
