Mostly anecdotal, my school psychologist back in the day sure believed it, and this would vary from place to place. She was a champion of "You give children the diagnosis that gives them the services they need". Autism being the

Yes because the diagnostic label is over broad to the point of meaninglessness and people have their own independently valid reasons for wanting autism to be interpreted as either a mild or severe disability because the diagnostic label is

No, the problem was that psychiatrists could bill insurers more to treat autism than they could Asperger's. You aren't cynical enough. If it wasn't a scientific distinction, why are we still identifying autism subtypes?

Glad they're working away at this. I've stopped identifying as autistic despite having a dx because I was tired of the way it got me treated worse by the general public who presume I'm far more incompetent than I actually am

The competition are selling trucks that are significantly less capable than gas trucks selling for loads less. Tesla is selling a very expensive conversation piece out of a sci-fi movie. There's nothing else really like it.

I have tried the quest 3 and it’s like looking through a distorted version of the world through a low resolution camera with Vaseline slopped on top. It’s impressive technology but it’s far from seamless. There’s less colours, less resolut

There was a guy Michael De La Maza who literally just drilled tactics and broke 2000 USCF and then quit chess, and if you look at his games yes he really really did not understand openings. So 1400-1600 is well before when you’re going to

Learning openings beyond a very basic level is not going to help the club player very much and it’s generally a good way for them to waste their time, at least from an improving your ELO perspective. Being the best out of the opening will t

Rote memorization is absolutely a mainstay of learning both openings and endgames. It’s usually a part of tactics training as well although not as purely, the polgar sisters for instance were drilled on the same chess positions day in day o

In their own marketing they show several of these monitors being used side by side and bill their computers as supporting multiple of these displays. I don’t recall them ever showing a monitor adjustment.

Assange was blatantly targeted by a US intelligence conspiracy against him and it's blindingly obvious that Sweden wouldn't have had an arrest warrant against him without their meddling. The US also brazenly suspended the writ of

He was already effectively a political prisoner. The US made enough of an example of him I guess. Expose US war crimes and this will happen to you.

Nothing really wrong with this. Constantly changing prices means a great deal of busywork and stores constantly have the wrong prices posted the way things are now. I'm not going to argue for the virtue of updating prices for products

Depends on the disability. ChatGPT was discriminating against autistics. Maybe they’re plausibly less productive in specific fields but the reason they’re not hired in many fields is not because they’re less productive. It’s because they

High drug prices also incentivize companies who don’t do R&D themselves to corner the market on existing drugs and raise prices. As for “free ridership”, the US only has so much military and economic power to compel the rest of the worl

I never took Chomsky’s foreign policy views that seriously or knew them to be taken that seriously. He just had at most a refreshingly contrarian perspective that didn’t normalize the American Imperialism so many take for granted.

It could also stand to go out of its way to try and give more prestige to people who manage to get influential papers retracted.

You sort of need an incredibly specific use case like this to justify dropping $3500 on it... Biggest problem with the product is just the price.

Not really interested if it’s not cross platform and standards compliant but this will work well for 99% of the market.
