Agreed. I'm definitely the "target" of this article, as I've just recently been diagnosed in my late 30s with adult ADHD. I feel like I've shown the signs during my childhood - poo…

Strangely enough, there seem to be a lot of hidden references and callbacks in Bluey. Just one source I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/bluey/comments/ipi4ft/a_thread_for_...

Completely agree, and I am continuously frustrated that the US has such poor personal privacy standards and regulations, regardless of how effective any existing regulations are.

The testing kits may be the "best" - their data retention and security just sucks. I (stupidly) did 23andMe a while back, I've since requested my data to be deleted. Who knows if t…

I definitely don't disagree, although I typically do about double that count (albeit on the lower range). I'm not a fan of subscriptions, but a search engine is definitely somethin…

Wow, this is super cool. Thank you! I love the straight-to-the-point nature of the articles, constraining them to a single page.

I don't know if it's overpriced, or if it is the sticker shock of _having to pay for search where almost everywhere else provides it for free_. I'd rather not pay, but I'd also rat…

Just wanna throw my hat in for an unsolicited Kagi recommendation. I switched almost a year ago, and it's been great.

My comment re: tipping really was just further emphasizing the "forced pleasantries" of modern dining. I know this is a relatively bitter/cynical take, but at the end of the day, I…

I'm there to eat, not socialize with people explicitly paid to act nice to me, though. Let's not even get into tipping culture, here...

I've only seen QR code -> PDF menu (and one where it was QR code -> web interface to order food/drinks). I agree with you re: app, but I think it's completely reasonable in 2023 to…

Yeah. I feel like any time this comes up on HN, the comments heavily skew towards moving _away_ from integrating technology into the dining process. I'm all for it. I don't want to…

This is good to hear that you have a solid foundation of how to best work with your son. I definitely wish I had that level of support growing up! I'm hoping to do the same with my…

> Yet I distinctly remember kids from my childhood who could not hold a conversation, they would literally break off into a new topic while you were mid-sentence with them. I have …

My issue with reading is that my eyes will continue on while my brain has already left the station, so to speak. I'll end up having to go back and re-read sentences/paragraphs. I s…

Yeah, mine said it's ~50/50 shot. We're trying the non-stimulant while waiting on the cardiologist to do a deeper look at a potential heart issue. shrug The most I've felt with the…

Note that ADHD can manifest physically, mentally, or a combination of the two. I've been recently diagnosed with ADHD in my late 30s after finally seeing a psychiatrist, and at mos…

Absolutely agreed (and I do follow that advice). I throw this stuff on in the car when I'm dropping off the kid at school. Still good to know what's going on day-to-day, albeit a b…

I listen to a few podcasts focused on US politics: David Pakman (has a finance background, very level-headed in his viewpoints): https://davidpakman.com/ I Doubt It: https://dollem…

Some people just like working down task lists. Some people just like a peek behind the curtain of big operations (like an airport, farm, etc). Not every game is meant for everyone …

I downloaded the demo, and it seems to just be two different tutorials - chocks and cones (handling an existing parked plane at a gate) as well as GPU (ground power unit, also on a…

That's my point - seems like private police with both public authority and resources. These officers are directly benefiting churches, private neighborhoods, etc. by providing publ…

That's wild. Personally, I see that (cyclists hiring police officers for route clearing) as a _valid_ implementation of this. Churches/neighborhoods hiring off-duty police officers…
