Title should specify that this is in the US. Other countries that have handled the virus properly would have much more positive news

I listen to a lot of music offline on my Android phone, but now that Google Play Music is gone, there is no other good default application.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good offline music players?

I somehow managed to get an 11 for the attractiveness. I could take it as a huge compliment, but I'm quite sure there was a bug

Isn't most of the data coming out of the states majorly skewed by the amount of testing being done? Surely there are many more cases than are reported due to this.

This was a fantastic experience! Probably the first time I've felt that online catchups could be like group ones. Had a good chat with Cyrus and some others. I could really imagine myself hanging out on here more often (despite never really being one for chatrooms).

Thank you for making this! I had a blast. (Guy - Australia)

Wouldn't your wife apologising for being emotional be a sign that she feels a need to apologise for them? Wouldn't good emotional intelligence be towards making someone feel valid, and expressing themselves (even if they're "emotional"). After they are heard, then you can do whatever rational decisions you want.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but having someone else apologise for their emotions doesn't sound like an EQ win to me.

Can we please start a tag for medium articles posted to HN saying that they are member only articles? It is getting quite frustrating...

I think they're a good way to try something new on company time, and to have the chance to experiment with potentially crazy ideas you wouldn't have done in the past.

I've never heard of it. Looks promising! Thank you!

Edit: While the tables aren't perfect, this seems to be the best option so far.

Their tables are more like databases. I am looking for a simple, static table that I can enter lots of information into.

I log every day in a week as a 7x4(or so) table, and each cell contains a lot of information. Notion's tables are just not cut out for it. I've messaged their support several times asking for this feature, since their product is otherwise perfect, but basic tables of this nature are simply not on their roadmap for the foreseeable future.

Good points!

The symptoms you describe are impacted by the two elements I described (executive function issues and dopamine regulation).

People with AD(H)D have issues with regulation and executive function, which can lead to issues in how one controls themselves. This can lead to the issues of controlling oneself that you describe.

On top of that, dopamine (which is more accurately a "motivation hormone", which creates the desire to do things) is different in AD(H)D brains. Basically, people with AD(H)D will get a dopamine kick from certain types of behaviours, and not from others. This can result in the relative importance of tasks being very different from neuro-typical ordering. As a result, addictive behaviours can be more common (especially for things like video-games), or also the prevalence of hyper-focus that people with AD(H)D experience.

I agree with your last paragraph fully. The lack of understanding around the condition can lead many to make uninformed actions and opinions that can be harmful to those with AD(H)D, diagnosed or not. This can have negative impacts on patient mental health, and is the reason why people should be more aware of this oft misunderstood condition.

Good observation! Also note, that these can exacerbate people with AD(H)D's symptoms as well.

Looks really pretty! However, it seems to only be available for computers (no mobile support)
