MotiveMe | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: How did an adult ADHD diagnosis help you?

Before my diagnosis, ADHD was my kryptonite. I thought I was lazy, I couldn’t accomplish the things I needed to. It pushed me into depression and was quite hard.

After my diagnosis, I felt like ADHD became my superpower. I know how to play to my strengths rather than my weaknesses. I know if I have an interest in something, I can dive into it and produce great output, and for tasks that need doing which aren’t interesting, I have coping mechanisms and medication if necessary.

As someone that still has Bitcoin tied up in the Gox civil rehabilitation suit, I feel justice is adequately served here.

Karpeles was clearly in over his head, and made terrible decisions after the hacking, but I don’t believe imprisonment would serve any meaningful purpose, and I do believe he feels genuine remorse for his actions.

We think of these as deployment abstractions that provide no security value. This is why services like Amazon’s ECS Fargate pair 1 task definition (usually a single container) to a single EC2 host for isolation.

I think the AWS failures on iops tests should've been examined more prior to publication, or at least explained more to the reader.

AWS General Purpose EBS volumes scale based on volume size, so a purely naively-done test with a default AMI's performance could be as low as 24 iops (8GB*3 IOPS per GB) once exhausting it's burst iops quota. I think it's unfair to compare apples to oranges here, as you can make these volumes scale to absurd numbers, if you have the cash.
