The headline touches on my theory of how abuse and neglect contribute to ADHD.
I believe they damage the reward part of the learning process. ADHD meds help bridge the gap between what normal learners feel (reward upon learning) and what abuse/neglect victims feel.
Everyone here wants to be able to buy RAM at a reasonable price again.
After reading articles about CXMT and repeatedly reviewing the comments here - my take is there's nothing in play that will lead to reasonably priced RAM anytime soon.
If I'm wrong please illuminate us. We could use some hope.
Can Apple, Dell and HP lobbyists convince US regulators to lift restrictions on working with Chinese memory manufacturers, at least until Micron's new semiconductor fabs can ship US-made DRAM and SSDs to US OEMs in 2028? https://wccftech.com/cxmt-ymtc-removed-from-pentagon-list-op...
The Pentagon has withdrawn the document that suggested updates to Section 1260H
Each fab will be 600,000 square feet—the size of more than 10 football fields—making them some of the biggest “clean rooms” ever built in America. To prepare the site, engineers have already blasted through more than 7 million pounds of dynamite. An army of construction workers, building contractors and architects have set up a small city’s worth of trailers so they can work around the clock.
Nonsense. There are many ways to get free or reduced price medical care in the US, especially if you are poor. Your doctor will have resources to help you if needed.
You can also rack up huge medical debt and then not pay it. The hospital will sell your debt to bill collectors who will call you for a while, and eventually sue you. At that point you can offer to settle for pennies on the dollar, or you might lose the lawsuit and have to declare bankruptcy which would mean you have negative credit for a few years.
Obviously it will be a difficult time, and hopefully you have something else, but they won't just let you die because you can't afford it.
> There are many ways to get free or reduced price medical care in the US, especially if you are poor.
"In the US" here is a bit misleading because it conflates places where the poor have reliable access to needed healthcare with the places they do not.
> Your doctor will have resources to help you if needed.
This seems presumptuous. More so because we just discussed this and he does not. To be fair, it was expected.
> You can also rack up huge medical debt and then not pay it.
This is a simple declarative statement in the face of a complex issue. It does not (and can not) meaningfully address the required nuances. For example that the medicaid isn't available (red state), that surgery is beyond the scope of the sole social provider (Good Samaritan) or persuading any one of our (rural for-profit) hospitals that non-urgent oncological care should be provided due to EMTALA.
And thru 25yrs of care giving my disabled spouse and 15yrs servicing the medical community, I've learned a bit about what is and isn't available in this place.
Also if you have a low paying job its probably not a big loss to quit it and go on Medicaid if you have a six or seven figure illness. Though it seems like they are trying to change this path for 2027.
If someone is dying of colorectal cancer, trying to get them to worry about their credit score is not only not helpful, it's actively harmful. Messing up your credit for a few years is in the category of "inconvenience" and it's not the kind of thing that you need to worry about when surviving cancer.
You’re right. I am just bitter and angry because I have to get my endoscopy done and I owe my life to my doctoral program that gives me excellent health insurance.
> It was only the ones that voted themselves infinite wealth and got it,
It was also the ones who spent generations pressuring their govs for ever restrictive zoning laws, wanting to freeze their neighborhood in time by tanking new builds. This is very much pulling up the ladder behind them.
I've seen your observation be confirmed in other places besides California sometimes, so I think it's 100% a problem, I just don't know much about it or how widespread it is across the country.
There's probably 1000 other cuts that things are dying from which all add up.
If this is the biggest problem holding back the prosperity locally where development was already difficult, there's probably something equivalent in the rural communities where it's not so crowded.
When opportunity all recedes at once nationwide, it's got to be due to the sucking sound coming from Washington more than any one local area I would think :)
I've never seen that in action but it seems as corrupt and unfair as lots of other things that contributed to the snowballing lack of future opportunity in different ways. Very much pulling up the ladder like you have seen first hand, however the well-connected ones could pull it off they were getting it while the getting was good. With very limited oportunities to get on the gravy train as always, the remaining younger boomers never had a chance :(
In places like Texas and Florida it seems like development never stops for anything.
