I'm a little confused. ADD & ADHD started as children's issues, if I understand it. Adults had already developed beyond it (was where I thought it started). Then later it got combi…

I've been doing it on and off for years. Trouble is my "career" is dead. I think I'm technically "middle" aged, but really over "middle" of life. It's harder to relax the mind and …

I was taught basic breathing meditation from a Vietnamese nun; but I'm not an expert. There are so many variations that I don't understand. I don't know much about Zen or it's take…

I don't know what jobs will be left. As our benefits have dried up. e.g. retirement, healthcare, job stability. Every article I've read basically said workers are going to need to …

I'm definitely no economist but the current administration doesn't seem to listen to them anyway. To me, this is going to be an extremely high tax on lower and middle income people…

I could be wrong, but I get the impression your younger than I am by a good bit. I'm an aging genx'r. My excitement/energy is lower than what it was. As I've aged, I feel like I do…

Interesting! I'm not an expert but an aging amateur and *nix/foss enthusiast. I see some parallels to what I've thought before that may, or may not be erroneous. First, it seems to…

I appreciate all your replies. I really do. I can't say I've read everything but I have looked, scan, read much of what you posted, in one way or another e.g. I usually start with …

I'm sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to thank you for the reply. I did a quick scan of genode on wikipedia. I've heard of it and might have seen articles over the years, but …

I had to look and skim to re-familiarize myself with SeL4. It's and older project that really never made it, from just a quick glance. It seems to basis or at least inspirational t…

First thanks for the response. "performance hit taken when transitioning from the user processes to the microkernel" is this still a large issue from the point of view of a desktop…

I forget exactly, but I believe that the original reasons the macrokernel was chosen over the microkernel are largely moot now. The microkernel was always more secure, if my memory…

From my understanding other presidents, on both sides, have pushed the boundaries/limits of executive orders but, as far as I understand it, his use is unprecedented. I had to read…

I guess I'm weird, I use my browser, yet I haven't wanted to store that in the cloud, so it doesn't sync to my phone. Let me know if that's paranoia isn't justified. For me, if it …

Yeah, I've thought about a yubi key or something, but haven't pulled the trigger.

I'm no expert, but I did take a CISSP course a while ago. One thing I actually remember ;P, is that it recommended long passwords in in lieu of the number, special character, upper…

Just reading the about, it looks cool. It uses runit and daemontools. I used void for a while, and I really liked runit. Personally, I don't like systemd. I don't want a debate, it…

I agree with the previous response. You don't make any argument or point, you just mumble "leftist" and dismiss. Extremist on either side don't seem to help anything. I lean one wa…

I hadn't heard of this. Thank You. I had this concept myself as I've always thought c-suit executives are mostly interested in there own interest and that it's exacerbated by them …

I saw a good documentary on this but I don't remember the name. Someone that does can post it but it started in the 70s when it got bought out by a profit focused company that alre…

Apparently, I have access to the previous post that was removed. I'll paste what seemed like good info and the confab with the person that posted it. Other Person: FDA: Q: How is t…

Do you know if they continuously over order or it's rare? Any links to this type of information would be appreciated.

That's news to me. Do you have a link that explains all this? I know about business quarters and yearly budgets but do they have to order once a year, and are you sure about that? …

Old Geek check: FIFO was mentioned in Doctor Who https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Leisure_Hive well unless he said LIFO, but if memory serves it was FIFO because he was first in a…

Off topic: I don't post here much and the instructions said just leave the url blank for a question. Was I supposed to have posted it with "Ask HN" or did I just post it incorrectl…
