Long-term they will likely make no changes because human desire, habits and behaviors are rarely unknown to us.
The parent comment mentioned feeling tired after consuming something with a lot of sugar, was that really a mystery prior to using CGM? I doubt it.
Sure it's interesting to correlate to your perceived wellness (or lack thereof) with a wearable spitting out data but after the novelty of this discovery wears off my guess is that people will simply stop caring to check what they already know to be the case.
I mean ADHD medication is essentially meth. At first it works, and then you need a little bit more to get the same effect.
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 19 years of age (quite a while ago) and it took me 9 months to realize the medication was a net-negative for me.
I encourage you to seek other forms of treatment that aren't medication-based. What works for me is a lot of exercise, good sleep, healthy diet and limiting "easy" dopaminergic activities like scrolling random content or watching random YouTube videos.
It's not a symmetric need though. Your need requires other people to be around you to have your ideal lifestyle. The WFH need doesn't require other people to do anything different (we all use slack/email/etc regardless of where we physically are). Your need is wronging others (requiring them to spend time commuting and being in a distracting office) and their need (you aren't affected) is not wronging others.
It's insane that so many people are okay pathetically dragging other people into a shitty situation just to make themselves happy.
A post about hard work and diligent learning about CS concepts followed by an offer from a top-tier tech company will always be greeted by a bunch of dinosaur software engineers who feel entitled to a job in this industry for life purely because they have some arbitrary number of working years.
If you're applying for an IC role, code or shut up. I don't care if you have solved wicked problems before, it's all talking and hand-waving. Can you take a hard problem, and apply CS concepts and good ole problem solving to produce working, succinct and well written code? That's what you're being hired to do, stop complaining.

I'm curious, why is it that people dislike affiliate-backed links if the link is relevant, useful, interesting and of equal quality to the normal link? Seems irrational.
I think part of the reason for this is that generally speaking, people who eat poorly know they're eating poorly and would rather have their cake and eat it too. They know soda is bad for them and that apples are good for them. That sitting all day long doesn't expend a lot of energy and running the back hills for a half hour does.
So when someone asks an ill person who eats poorly "How have you been eating?" they know they're about to receive a long story about how they've tried and failed, or that lately they've been "cheating" or that they've been super busy at work and kids and life is hard and they have no time for such things. What's the doctor supposed to say after this? Nothing. Because people are only going to change themselves when they truly want to and not when someone tells them they should.
So instead they look for more efficient routes at attempting care. Drugs are pretty good at this for a while. Got high blood pressure? Here's some beta blockers. You got an aching back? Here's some pain medication for that. They make more money this way, their patients can reliably take the 3 seconds to swallow a pill everyday, and everyone seems to be pretty happy until they have a heart attack or need a wheelchair. It's a good thing that those things come with old age so their poor health condition can be blamed on yet again something other than their continued poor diet and lack of exercise.
It's funny how simple being healthy is. Sleep, diet and exercise.
I have the exact same problem when taking Adderall/Vyavanse/etc my creativity and memory retention is horrendous. Creativity is such an important feature to your personality and taking it away makes you so robotic and boring that I'd rather have the AD/HD and my normal, fun self than a foggy head all the time.
> Or is it "for each user, divide their $10 by the number of streams they played and pay that to the copyright holder of the streams played?" So the more streams you listen to the less artists get paid for that?
I think his solution works like this:
Lets say you listen to Beck for 50 times, Beyonce 50 times, and Drake 100 times. That gives you 200 total streams, which a respective stream distribution of 25%, 25% and 50%. We can assume you enjoyed Drake more since you listened to him more so he should get more money obviously. So Beck and Beyonce each get $7 * (0.25) = $1.75 and Drake gets $3.50 for the month.
So in this one context you can sit on your high horse, how convenient. I'm sure you spend large amounts of money on other frivolous things that others could judge and crucify you for.
These guys did this all wrong. They could have kept this going indefinitely if they found a team of people who all agreed to go in and play these machines at random times, at random casinos and never together. Better yet, rotate the people so they never go to the same casino within 6 months of their last visit so they don't get flagged for winning a jackpot every month.
Just send someone in, play for a bit and then win a jackpot and leave. $1.8k to $10k jackpots so ~$6k/casino per session per person.
You could easily get everyone to an annual $50-100k/year salary with very little play and be under the radar forever.
You would have to use people you trust since it's naturally a greedy endeavor.
I'm sure there are holes in my system, but those would be filled with a group of 10 people analyzing and iterating on it every week quite easily.
This isn't always the case. Zappos had always hired people to prepare breakfast and dinner and then flipped and used a contractor for food prep and service when they moved to their new HQ in downtown Las Vegas. Zappos is definitely not tight on money and is very well run (from what I could tell).
> This product does not solve this problem, but instead tries to insert itself into the users' task flow at precisely the time when their goals are focused elsewhere (on opening the door).
I agree wholeheartedly.
> This is a rude interruption and will likely annoy rather than encourage more sanitization. In the video (0:59), a woman sanitizes her hands then must immediately compromise them again to actually open the door.
The idea is that you open the door with one hand and dispense sanitizer into your other hand simultaneously and then sanitize the other hand after passing through.
eh, people who know who Walter* White is aren't offended by him, and those that don't just think its a late picture of the dad from Malcolm in the Middle.
