We have the opposite problem in Atlanta. The Marta train only goes about 40mph, so even in pretty heavy traffic, cars will be flying past it. It's fucking ridiculous they don't make it faster.
Just watched an episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. In the episode, the ship's security officer, La'An, enters the bedroom of Khan Noonien-Singh when he is a small child. Proceeds to put a loaded gun down on his desk, have a conversation, then leaves the room. You're the chief security officer, and you just left a loaded gun in a child's bedroom!
I haven't looked this up, but I maintain that Froot Loops (which are great) is really just "Lemon" flavored. But since people may balk at a lemon-centric breakfast cereal, they decided to market it as multi-fruit flavored.
In this situation, we are both management level. I don't think anyone has tried to just flat out tell him he's making a mess of things and distracting people. Maybe being upfront about it could help avoid repeating history.
Saw this post on 'All'. I do not have ADHD, but I believe I work with someone who does. I don't want to take over ops question, but perhaps add an additional question/angle that could be helpful:
This individual is notorious at the company for overwhelming people with work requests and long list of "thoughts" about how to do things at the company that tend to spider web into every problem the company has.
People who have tried to fulfill his requests in the past always try to start small and solve a chunk at a time, but he gets upset and says they all need to be worked on simultaneously or we'll have nothing in the end.
He has alot of industry knowledge so our executives love him. But he ends up getting people fired because they can't help him complete his list of demands.
I just got promoted to a position where I'm now next in line to deal with him.
How should I work with him? It's just not feasible to work on everything he wants at once. And he overwhelms me daily with long documents and emails full of random thoughts. I worry I'll be next on the chopping block if I don't figure out a way to work with him.
I think the science actually supports this. Studies have shown leftists tend to be more self-critical and are concerned for the nuances - the "shades of grey". So their memes must cover more angles of an argument to be effective. Right-wing are more black and white thinking, and don't question themselves once they make a decision. So their meme's are straight to the point and simple (and usually so full of logic holes and lacking in comedy that leftists say: "the right can't meme").
It has a paragraph with the explanation: Basically he says our behaviors are driven by our brain chemistry, genetics, and biases formed by prior events. Every decision we make is a culmination of those things. We think we're in control, but we're really just following a pre-ordained script.
Can't decide if I'm onboard with that. Definitely not onboard with letting criminals off the hook for bad deeds. If your "brain script" leads you to kill, you just need to be removed from society. Sorry.
He's out of his mind if he thinks any conservative is going to be interested in him as a centrist. Just the word "California" makes conservatives in my area shudder.
There are lots of laws and regulations that don't really work 100%, but make it harder for the crime to be committed. I think it fits into that category.
For example, many financial companies bend over backwards to try and prevent business activities from occurring over unapproved communication channels. Basically the SEC forces them to monitor all business activities, and if the company doesn't at least try to do things like block personal email web sites, log text messages to clients on personal phones, etc., the company can be fined for not trying hard enough. Even though all the things meant to block or monitor can be easily bypassed.
I personally can't decide if it's the right thing to do in face of insolvable problems, or a stupid waste of time and resources. Probably a bit of both.
"To continue offering you high quality original programming like X and Y, we have to raise our price for Amazon Prime. But don't worry, we're now adding a lower cost ad-based alternative called Amazon Subprime."
So, as usual, most people will be fine with it and put the plastic bag back over their head.
I'd argue you're right until you need to track down a bug in the code. Then, to the author's point, you have to jump back and forth in the code to figure out all the interdependecies between the methods, and whether a method got overridden somewhere? What else calls this method that I might break by fixing the bug? (Keep in mind this example fits on one screen - which is not usually the case.)
I worked at a restaurant that had a contest once for which server could sell the most orange juice. At the time, sodas were $0.99 and orange juice was $1.98. So, any time a table ordered 2 sodas, I'd ring it up as 1 orange juice. I won by a landslide. The customers would occasionally ask why their receipt had orange juice, but I'd just explain it's the same price as the 2 sodas, and that was the end of it.

The segment between Perimeter mall and Buckhead that goes between the lanes of hwy 400 is where I always see traffic zipping past it.
