I'm in disagree. They wolves tent to have a "big bad wolf". Now most wolves would never enter a house and eat bear soup, but some ofthe are quit psychopathic and can bring food back for the pack.

What this article doesn't mention is the eating of puppies. The big bad wolf is not a gentle wolf.


Cycle refresh shaders where someting my last team really nailed. The key challenge was during the day there is a lot of sun. Adjustments can be made to the location, it really pays dividents.


Maybe if I read this article, it will fix it!


The bias on the site is really terrible. It's not always YComb itself so much, but all the valley stuff.

As with anything you have "the powerful people" who have opinions on what critiques are "fair", and will demand them communicated with perfect decorum.

Additionally, people are aware of how it will "look". In a way they don't care, but in reality there's always an appearance people prefer to keep.

Anyway actually break out some pointy critiques, and they'll get mad.


Also, it's still underdiagnosed. There's some BS that makes it difficult to get "ring of fire" STEREOTYPICAL ADHD patients in favor of overworked professionals hitting professional plateaus.

A huge percentage of people with ADHD don't receive treatment; bear in mind the modern approach of not treating roughly half of patients with ADHD. In other words, they do pretty much nothing at all and tell you to get lost.

So the reality is that they are always under and over treating the condition and there should be awareness of this reality. Success should include working with patients and not relying on over-prescription, or scapegoating people as lost causes.


This is a very popular opinion, btw. The focus can increase harms, but the reality is that many people had poor mental health prior to this push, and after, with very little effect.

Constantly bringing up things like sex abuse and other traumatic issues causes problems for sure. It looks like the often maligned "push it down, bottle it up, pretend there's no problem" is better strategy than we pretended. It even seems to be partially adopted by the industry.


> I do believe that without a modern education, these people are not equipped to deal with modern vices. They've never taken a math class let alone learned enough probability to know that gambling is a losing bet. They've never had a nutrition class to learn that Coca Cola is disastrous to your health.

Talking about Americans???


Or apologize anyway, because you did something wrong, and go through all that anyway??


IDK about all that. I'm sure there's pretense and over-priced gear. However, lots of people can afford $400-1000 for a major appliance they use every day.

Frankly, if you just enjoy coffee a whole lot, that investment makes sense for most people. Coffee is a major part of people's lives.

The issue with espresso, is that the process itself is NOT simple, and involves tons of heat an pressure. I'm not 100% sure what makes it expensive, except that it obviously pays to make it heftier.

You don't have to drink espresso. There's lots of reasons not to go with espresso that don't involve cost/difficulty. Some very well regarded methods involve just leaving the beans in water with a $20 piece of cookwear.

Regarding grinders, people just find that they don't get a consistent grind. It's functional concerns, not hipsterism or consumerism. In all cases, there's options at every price range.


> It's as though the end goal of learning to be a concert pianist was becoming a conductor, or perhaps a concert hall manager.

Is it not. Wouldn't be surprised either way.
