Like my continuous glucose monitor.

Very annoying.

The new "product led" trend seems to be that PMs are much more on the implementation side than on the customer-facing business side.

E.g. I know this guy leading sold-out Product Management workshops in Silicon Valley, who understands nothing at all about actually taking any product to market, about competition, marketing, etc. ... never mind satisfying actual customers.

Because the dating market in India or Saudi Arabia or Ethiopia is so much better than in the US?!

In the online-dating realm, you could have the best soft skills in the world, and they won't matter if the woman swipes left before meeting you.

Yes, plenty of short guys do extremely well. I know a couple. And they have exceptional personalities and self-confidence.

But we can't expect most people to be exceptional, by definition.

It's all about the Ape Index!

Definitely for Adderall, and possibly for birth control, the regulations vary greatly by state.

Of course, it wouldn't surprise me if hormonal birth control were to be Federally banned before this White House is done.

There are non-stimulant ADHD meds as well. Most of us don't get a chance to try all of them.

In fact, I was surprised to learn that Adderall is highly illegal in many countries, including Japan and South Korea(), both of which have a higher standard of healthcare, and a much longer life expectancy, than the US does. In other words, they're not anti-health.

() In theory, you can bring Adderall into South Korea with your American prescription. In practice, not really.

They're kind of famous for having bad mental health care and high suicide rates.

I can survive without ADHD meds, but life is a whole lot easier and a lot more enjoyable with them.

I’m using Wellbrutin, which is a NDRI (norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor) antidepressant.

The main reason for this is because I’m also bipolar. First-line stimulants for ADHD cause manic episodes.

Wellbrutin is not dispensed in the UK except for quitting tobacco. Annoying because it seems like a very useful antidepressant.

Apple is behind in AI because they've prioritized keeping private data on your device, rather than in the cloud, but today's best (or even good) inference models still require cloud-scale compute, i.e. they don't fit on a phone.

I think we basically agree - just clarifying here.
