> "people with real adhd can't get high from stims", but i suspect that some of this is just that people want to distance their legitimate use from those tweakers over there.

I don't know if "High" is the right word. I've accidentally taken too much, and it makes me super impatient, which makes me kind of an asshole. I've also taken WAY too much on accident, and it just made me paranoid and think my heart was beating out of my chest.

I will say, being on a normal amount is kind of the best kind of high. Living with ADHD is like drowning, like you have these short moments of coming up for air and being productive, but quickly become distracted for everything else.

Being on the right amount, is like someone finally shut all the extra TVs off in the back of my brain. Like there's no challenge in determining the priority of what needs to be done. I feel human, not anxious, not depressed by my inability to remember where I put my keys 30 seconds ago. and thus, more productive.

Now I don't claim that my experience with ADHD is like another's, but this is my experience.

I’m sorry you did this. Someday, you’ll be sorry you did this. Historically speaking, there is a correction every year. Corrections last on average no more than 54 days. After a correction, the stock market will go back to rising. Timing the market is near impossible, but leaving the market is just asking to lose money. With some reading and some fear management, you could be extremely successful in the stock market. But you have to learn to buy and hold.

Ack! No. I was mobile and it pinged me to login after generating the comment, then brought me to a blank screen. I'd thought I lost my comment.

That's a good idea though..If only I had the time

What I find most strange about all of the photos of office design for "big companies"

Where does the actual work get done? Why are those pictures never included?

The funniest thing about all of these "office design" photos that I see of big companies.

"Where does the actual work get done?" Why are those photos never included.

You can no longer download from their website. So, I'd assume yes, we all wasted our time.

I feel like perhaps I'm the only one concerned about this: (Somehow, “SmartOS + LX-branded zones + SmartDataCenter + sdc-portolan + sdc-docker” was a bit of a mouthful.)

Not only is it a mouthful, it means there is a much wider space for things to go wrong.

Don't be confused. Paypal's Igor wasn't automatically detecting and taking action. See my comment. Max Levchin's original design failed.

The reality is, computers are good at some things, humans are good at others (Remember how much effort it took google to identify cats in youtube thumbnails? Something any four year old can do?). Computers are good at sifting through large amounts of data. Great. Humans are good at detecting fraud. Combining them is best.

Peter Thiel writes about how fatal machine learning for fraud detection in his book, "Zero to One".

At Paypal, Max Levchin assembled an elite team of mathematicians to study the fraudulent transfers in detail. Then we took what we learned and wrote software to automatically identify and cancel bogus transactions in real time. But it quickly became clear that this approach wouldn't would either. After an hour or two, the thieves would catch on and change their tactics. We were dealing with an adaptive enemy and our software couldn't adapt in response.

The fraudsters adaptive evasions fooled our automatic detection algorithms, but we found that they didn't fool our human analysts as easily. So max and his engineers rewrote the software to take a hybrid approach: the computer would flag the most suspicious transactions on a well designed user interface, and human operators would make the final judgment as to their legitimacy.

Thank you, this helps.

I don't know why you're being down voted either. In the moment I couldn't get past her wanting all of my things, and I couldn't get past having to do my presentation and letting all of my peers and company down. I froze and in the future that won't happen again, but you were right, I should have thrown my phone and hobbled away.

Because you're human! What do you think got your ancestors this far! Do those values no longer apply because we beat certain environmental elements?

Are we to suggest that community support is as vestigial as the tailbone?
