sure, and a good baseline assumption for most consumer goods is that price elasticity of demand is pretty low in the short term, so consumers pay most of the tariff. then in the long run perhaps things change and more non-tariffed substitutes become available resulting in maybe a 50/50 split of "who pays" (after all, the substitutes didn't have comparative advantage before, so are probably a bit more costly to produce). in any case, total quantity sold will be less, consumers benefit less, and suppliers benefit less... but the government does get revenue.
I think you mean it's called ASD or has been rolled into ASD now? ADHD is more of a set of regulation issues than a set of social-cues issues, but I'm oversimplifying.
It's a different sort of focus than mainstream, where there's not what a "normal" person would call regulation. So lots of hyperfocus on topics that interest, and little on what others might think is required or needed (which would look like distraction if the person were forced/compelled to focus on things they're not interested in).
That's a good way to put it. Though ADHD can also have high focus and then "fuck it I don't care anymore I'm all about x now" lol. But I think you're right about the characterization of distraction. For example in my undergrad I might not do my physics homework but I'm not playing videogames or something I'd do things like trying to use that same physics to program simulations or try to solve other problems that were more interesting to me. Or used that time to teach myself programming, Linux, or other types of math that weren't being taught. It's both a distraction and not. But at first I was very confused at what you were suggesting.
There's a lot you can do with just plain html these days if you just need a clean site. Here's an example from my recipe site (https://xilic.com/recipia/sauces/pesto_traditional.html), mostly for my personal use or sharing with friends, with only html/css. It has expandable boxes, a menu system, etc. A simple script converts a directory structure of .csv files to these recipe cards with a template, and this way you can edit the sources in a spreadsheet and then the publish script just takes whatever is new and re-does the whole lot of html as necessary. Just like we used to do with Apache Forest!
Really appreciate that you're doing mass-based recipes, and in metric too. I'm tired of all the American recipes with quantities like "2 1/3 cups"; the proliferation of units and fractions makes work needlessly hard compared to just grams and millilitres.
Furthermore, when it comes to recipes for baking, if it's not using weight as a measure, then it's wrong. Baking is chemistry, so if you want consistent controlled results, stop measuring anything by volume.
it's also just way faster to not mess with the spoons/cups! an exception might be little fussy quantities like a bunch of 1/4 tsps of different spices etc.
What a beautiful website ! Feels carefully crafted, full of nice moments like the > turning the a - when sections are open in the TOC.
Would love to hear more detail on how you went about making it. Did you ever consider sharing parts of the source code ?
thanks! i first just made a sample html the way i thought it would be nice, then made that into a templeate, and wrote a python script generate the site. it first scans for all the files to build the menu and homepage, then goes file-by-file to make each one, filling in the blanks in the template as you can imagine. it was pretty natural since my spreadsheets were all following the same format already anyway. i'd be surprised if there was a lot of interest, but if so i'd consider sharing the script/template etc.
ingredients with 4 columns, last one is an optional comment for the row
..
method steps with 2 columns, last one is optional comment
..
then optional sections that just have to have:
section title (this is the collapsed title string too)
any rows included until the next .. etc. etc.
plus just a few tricks like if an ingredient comment has [] then it uses that as a URL for the ingredient, if a row in ingredients has just one column then it's a header etc.
It's based on analytical psychology from the 1920s as Jung laid out in "Psychological Types." The funny thing is MBTI was developed for carbon copy paper and as an instrument to quickly type people. So they created the 4th column because in their scoring and layout, they couldn't indicate whether the person was more perceptive (N or S) or reasoning (T or F) focused by putting one in front of the other as Jung did, and also, in their test I guess they found it easier to figure out which function type you extraverted rather than what the attitude (introversion or extroversion) of your primary function was directly.
This leads to a lot of confusion. Jung for example might call a type "Introverted Intuitive with Feeling", and in MBTI that is INFJ, where the J means they extrovert the Feeling, but are primarily actually perceivers! Then there's Introverted Feeling with Intuition, which in MBTI is INFP, the P here meaning they extrovert intuition, but since they're primarily introverted they are "introverted feelers" foremost. I think this MBTI formulation has really made Jung's ideas unnecessarily confusing.
Also, Jung himself was not fond of people typing others, and thought people ought to learn the ideas and type themselves and of course allowed and discussed that some are not differentiated strongly in some dimensions, although he did view that as being a sort of lack of development.
So is it science? I guess I'd call it an interesting analytical model and leave it at that.
I wonder if you are getting more internal reward and stimulation from the challenge and novelty of something that is a struggle than from the steady success something you have natural talent for is offering. If so and that is troubling to you or puzzling, it may just be the way your brain is setup, but there are psychologists good at unraveling this sort of thing.
poison oak was supposedly a chumash treatment for warts. i tried it and it worked! grind up some leaves into a paste, sand the wart down a bit, apply the paste, and cover with tape. it may be that the poison oak is enough to trigger an immune response which actually rids you of the wart.
I remember that study with mice where some mice were kept in a simple environment, while others had a rich environment with all kinds of things like a mouse wheel.
when the mice died, the simple environment mice had lots less interconnected neurons in their brain than the complex environment mice.
turns out it wasn't the complex environment that caused the brain development, it was the exercise wheel.
Sounds like a plausible theory. Nudging your immune system into flooding a response to the area and giving everything a closer look, via irritants, makes sense.
And also explains the diverse array of purportedly efficacious substances.
I received microwave treatment for veruccas. It was administered via a fancy machine, that produced microwaves at the nozzle of a meter-long pipe.
The purported mechanism of action was not to destroy the verucca, although that was the immediate effect; they didn't try to hit all of them. The purported mechanism was to cause damage that would provoke the immune system; it would learn the properties of the virus, and then attack it wherever it found it.
It worked; all my veruccas disappeared, including ones that hadn't been zapped.
I have to say that this was easily the most-painful medical treatment I have ever undergone. Each targeted verucca got a 5s blast, twice per treatment, over a programme of three treatments. Each blast caused me to scream out loud and swear. I apologised to the podiatrist, saying I hoped I hadn't annoyed her neighbours. She said not to worry, everyone screams and swears. It was like having a sharpened red-hot screwdriver pushed into the sole of my foot.
I was not given local anaesthetic or sedatives. I think they would have offered me sedatives, but the whole deal would have taken 3 or 4 times as long. They might have wanted my pain response to tell them they had missed.
The pain was only during the jolts; when the treatment was over, I put back on my shoes and socks, and walked home (under a mile).
I can take pain; but I'll fkin scream and swear if I need to scream and swear. Basically, if I can stand the pain and not pass out, then I'd rather not be numb while some sawbones is hacking away at me.
I would be extremely surprised if pain was part of it, and think it best to try it without pain on the first go at the very least because "fuck unnecessary pain"
yeah, the three times or so I've had a wart I've used the wart remover (some kind of weak acid) to remove a layer at a time over a few days and it worked well. Whenever the new layer was "sensitive" that would be it for the day and no plucking at it. Eventually you get to the "dead capillaries" that are usually present at the bottom of the wart, and after a couple more layers that would be it. It didn't take weeks though, it was a few days of attentions. I think next time I might do a few layers and then put the duct tape on it, and put a bandaid over that to hide the duct tape :)
No way am I going to collect poison oak leaves and mash them up into a paste. You'd likely get some airborne aerosols doing that which wouldn't be pleasant.
I dont think that aerosols is a real risk. It is quite difficult to create particulate small enough (<1um). Wet grinding should eliminate any small risk that exists.
I do something similar, but with photos. I have a 4k display on the wall with a rpi/python script that picks photos from today +/- 15 days for all years, then makes collages to display, 1 per minute. So the photos are from the same time of year, but for years past, and every day new photos cycle in and out. Another neat way to stir up memories of old, if you have a pile of photos around.
Maybe, but instead of redesigning and building a new jet suitable for the larger and more efficient engines allowing their competitor's A320 to be more efficient, they appear to have kludged them onto the old (and low-sitting) 737. To do this, they had to change their location on the wing, which made the aircraft more unstable, which lead to the MCAS system to mitigate this, and problems with MCAS and sensor redundancy led to the two fatal crashes. I have a hunch many of us have seen this sort of thing and consequences before.
