The flip side to ADHD is hyperfocus on things that draw your attention. This can manifest as a 12-hour coding session without breaks or even noticing the time.
I've been on and off Vyvanse and Ritalin for a decade. Work with your doctor on side effects, I found Concerta to have the least side effects for me (long-lasting, tapers slowly at end of day, and fewer anxious feelings for me than Vyvanse.) I've also taken breaks from the medication for a year or more. It takes somewhere between 3 days and 3 weeks to feel like I'm not missing something when I stop the medication, but overall it's not that bothersome or unpleasant unless work/life is very busy at that time. Quitting coffee cold-turkey feels much worse, for comparison.
10 years ago I had diagnosed pericarditis from a viral infection. I had Covid in 2020 which caused a similar chest pain during elevated heart rate, it slowly resolved over a few months.
Remittances are a significant part of the El Salvadoran GDP. As a percent of GDP, remittances have been up to 21.8% of total GDP in recent years [1]. If encouraging Bitcoin reduces the 5-10% typical remittance fees charged on 20% of GDP, that could be a 1-2% boost to GDP purely through legislation.
Even if it doesn't last, it does force remittance companies to become competitive, which will benefit El Salvador for years to come.
That's not true, or is at least making GPT3 out to sound more trivial than it is. I've spent hours "interviewing" people about dragon sightings in Washington D.C., or Elon Musk about a fictional startup, or similar. I've had it generate startup ideas that are definitely original and elaborate on them, including company names that are concatenations of words that have never been used as a proper noun. I had it generate an interview with the founder of a fictional 1980s video game company, and it went into detail about the series of fictional games. It was all plausible, but the names were unique strings that I could not find on Google.
Coinbase provides KYC compliance which then gives it government blessing to be a gateway between crypto and the US dollar financial system. That is the value. Otherwise, there are DApps that allow trading between cryptos and don't require employees, offices, centralized server infrastructure, etc. that would take the place of Coinbase.
I miss _why being out there, producing content. He reminded me of the Beagle Bros books for the Apple II, which were my first introduction to programming in 1990 or so.
I'm interested. I definitely think these kind of things are cyclic.
Glassdoor is now owned by the same parent company as Indeed, so if a company is a client of Indeed's recruiting services there's definitely a conflict of interest present.
Anecdote time: I live in San Francisco, almost everyone wears a mask here. My friend just got back from a road trip through the central valley, he said nobody there was wearing masks and a random stranger called him a coward (in more colorful language) for wearing one while at a gas station. His opinion was that the central valley is going to be hit hard.
I've literally never heard of that plan except from people shooting it down as a straw man. Mars is a good backup in that a tape drive is a good backup. A catastrophic event on Earth will likely not impact Mars as well. It's a biology backup, not a backup for a full life lived on Earth. It's still something we as a species really need, but it's never going to be a replacement for the original thing.
Not true, you can sell to close back into the market without exercising. This is what most options traders do.
Also you can easily get them for "free" in a manner of speaking, if you use something like a bull put spread. You sell a naked leg of the position that pays for the purchase of the other leg.
I agree with this comment, but with the addition that sleep quality is very important if you don't have it. If your sleep is pretty close to optimal already, you may not notice a slight improvement.
I would previously really push hard on exercise looking for some magic result, and I found it made my concentration worse because my body is trying to recover from the previous day's workout. It's good for stress relief though. Just find the right amount for your body, it will be more than zero but less than some threshold.
Yes: Hydration is a little important. Sleep is very important (white noise machine, blackout curtains, melatonin when needed, regular schedule, no alcohol near bedtime on work nights.) Exercise is a little important, but too much is detrimental. Learning meditation, specifically body-scan, was really helpful for me though indirectly. It helped me better notice my internal states, which then helps me remove blockers to focusing. A low-carb diet also helped, but is rather high-effort to maintain so I don't follow it anymore. I make great use of reminders on my phone, and appointments on my calendar, because I have no faith in my ability to remember things at the right times despite having a great memory.
Seriously. After 15 years of struggling with various self help programs, an ADHD-PI diagnosis and medication fixed 90% of my problems. I feel like that movie Limitless was inspired by someone who really needed ADHD medication and finally got it.
The Beagle Bros "Big Tip Book for the Apple II Series" was the only programming text I had in 1989, and no internet yet nor did I know anyone who knew about programming as I was 10 years old. That was my favorite book as I thought it was hilarious and I learned Basic from it and a bit of assembly. Changed the direction of my life for sure.
From a nurse in Wuhan who is a family friend: It seemed clear to her and her coworkers that Remdesivir was working when given early, but had little or no effect after the disease had progressed.
My take: sounds like great news for a product, since everyone would want this on hand to catch infections early. Unfortunately it is an IV treatment and very difficult to manufacture, and is therefore unlikely to be able to fill that role. I bought a few shares anyway.
Two reasons: leverage costs will drag the performance of the 3x to worse than 3x over time, and in big drops there's a chance that the 3x ETF may actually implode like the XIV ETN did a while back. Those work in your favor if you're short but may or may not be worth the cost of borrowing for your situation.
