Yes this is a factor with the particular person I know. Although I don't think the depression era or poverty as the only answer. I see the grandchild exhibit similar behaviors. There is an awareness of the problem but a disconnect in t

I agree, it does seem like an arrogant response. The kind that comes from one who drinks the kool-aid. Possibly they have more evidence and findings to be published?

Dr Russell Barkley has posted a rebuttal to the lack of play opportunities/childhood maltreatment theory. One of the points he makes is there are twin studies and many of these twin studies that show genetics being a large contributing

I think the problem was their pricing and arbitrary limitations. Like 7 day audit log.. 7 day user metrics, up to 100 form submissions per month. That's their paid professional plan. Seems extremely hard sell when I tell customers they

I used to feel like you. At 27 you have a lot of time, keep moving forward. Industry moves in many directions and some of those roads come to an end. Don't worry too much what others have done and keep progressing your knowledge with t

Indeed. It isn't a new thing. I worked in a place a long while ago, being the only male in that department. Everyone was nice and we did our jobs. Over time I discovered 'rumors' about me from people outside the department. I

Bad drivers give little space to cyclists regardless. Buses, cars, trucks have often traveled behind me at a following distance of barely a meter behind my bicycle. Stopping suddenly would have high risk of death. Cars and trucks have clipp

I always thought netflix would have best fit owning a news channel that just focused on reporting facts, events, without spin, as they happen. Due to sheer subscriber numbers, if the news channel had advertisements, it'd have a good ch

It's true, although we don't know what will happen. Intel may discover the next Core Duo like design that leaps them ahead again. TSMC could hit fab problems on future nodes (like Intel has in recent times). Not to mention, a conf
