- bernardomYou nailed it. I've spoken with doctors who were involved in changing DSM V to have a more inclusive definition of ASD with the express purpose of getting more kids access early intervention that they wouldn't with the PDD-NOS and other diagnoses from DSM IV.
- I'm about to be one of them if it incorrectly accuses me of not being in my primary household one more time. The anti-sharing crackdown is driving me crazy (we don't share!)
- Oh, that's really cool though that they can handle it!
It's funny that 3500 seems sooo much to spend for hardware now... over the last 25 years, it's gotten so much cheaper between lower price macbooks and not needing to upgrade phones and laptops nearly so often.
- How do glasses like this work for someone who wears eyeglasses for myopia and astigmatism, and doesn't like contacts?
- They won't be killed, they'll be forced to stand up as their own businesses, like the Baby Bells after Ma Bell broke up, or the split of Standard Oil.
I can see most of these being reasonable standalone businesses. And if they can't be they'll die and get replaced by one that is better.
- "sadly, the series is unremarkable for the fact that each film is substantially worse than the one before"
Patently false! The third is better than the second.
- So addictive. Awesome idea.

- Cool way to learn some of these. Does anyone know why "Peru" is #CD853F, a brown? It has nothing to do with the flag (which is red and white).
(Aside: the word "peru" in Portuguese means turkey, like the bird. I somehow doubt this is related.)

"Waiters are literally paid..."
Or we could be humans?
- I've had bad experiences with superset (though it may have been misconfigured).
On the other hand, Redash has served my startup really well for the first 3 years (and now we're finally moving to Tableau)
- This is very cool. I recorded myself in Portuguese -> Portuguese and got the same result.
I also did Pt -> En and sounded like... me speaking English, though with some artifacts. VERY cool.
- The CGP Grey videos on the city of London are pretty great too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrObZ_HZZUc
- I think part of it is practice and part is being a big dude.
Check out his book, Dignity. Super good. He does this in the US, hanging in the “worst” neighborhoods. So he has lots of practice.
- Chris, I’m surprised to see (on your Twitter feed) that you didn’t know HN. You’ll like it, sometimes.
Dignity was a lovely book and a really nice counter-narrative to the Trump vs Dems story that was (is?) dominating the news.
- The book The Richest Man Who Ever Lived is riveting. The guy bankrolled kings, wrote a collections letter to the Holy Roman Emperor, etc. etc.
- Very happy heap customer here. Been using it since 2016 or so and brought it from last company to my current startup. Autocapture is magic.
- Fort Mac is the coldest place I've ever been to, by far. I saw the wrong side of minus 40 there ("F or C?" "Both!").
Crazy to think of it that hot.
