Nikolas0 | 7 months ago | on: ADHD drug treatment and risk of negative events and outcomes
My $0.02 as a response to several comments I read in this thread:
I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 40s and got Concerta. My belief is that ADHD is not a disease, nor a disability (even though it acts like one very frequently) and in fact there is evidence that ADHD is an important part of our evolution as a species.
The problem(s) mostly relies with the modern way of life and what is expected from the society at large. In that context I try to feel ok when I daydream while I have countless of boring things to take care of as I totally feel ok when I hyperfocus in a creative endeavor.
The meds are just a tool that I use no more than two times per week in order to take better care of myself and others. It is not a therapy and it's not me. I believe that Sensitive Rejection Dysphoria is very real for people like us, but the worst version of it is when you reject yourself because you are different and you try hard to be someone else.

Thanks :)

You are right, it wasn't 100% accurate.
As for the usefulness so far it works great as it helps the team get synced.

Is there anything similar for Google spreadsheets?

"Peter Jones How we made our Millions" is a very good one with great lessons. Jones is trying to find out the DNA of an entrepreneur by interviewing two British entrepreneurs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foWMmY3xSuk

Sounds like trouble for zoottle.com but I guess their product is a little different (connected to other networks as well, etc.)

There is also a way older "computer" from 100BC called the Antikythera mechanism which was used by ancient Greek astronomers and sailors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism

I like the idea, but isn't this illegal?
Nikolas0 | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: MailRubber, a condom for your email address
Interesting idea. Maybe you should also add some API too or even plugins for popular blogging and forum software.
Nikolas0 | 13 years ago | on: How I Fired Myself
To be honest as a CEO I would fire myself for letting someone in the team work that wrong (I mean in the production server)
Plus there is no excuse for not having backups...
Nikolas0 | 13 years ago | on: A painful tale of SEO, spam and Google's role in all
I had the same problem myself. In fact I still run a couple of forums. And I get at least 3 "remove my links" mails per day. I guess you can't ask them money, but they already cost you money (to maintain their spam and since the panda update read their emails asking you to remove it) so I guess the best solution is just ignore those mails.
Regarding anti spam I am afraid there is nothing you can do. Real humans will create an account for 0.01$ and they will post anything (I tried adding custom code in the post code as well, but those signups are not necessarily bots) In fact they even post if you don't allow them to post links (they post the urls with no http)
Next solution I'll try is social integration. Maybe that would work for some time but even this way spammers will find their way to create thousands of crap accounts in FB, twitter, etc.

Now I can't wait to get a message from the kernel :D
Nikolas0 | 13 years ago | on: User account creation re-imagined [video]
That's what I thought too. I guess it wont be hard though to just put asterisks there and store it in md5/sha1. On the other hand allowing the user to change password without knowing the old one it's another security risk, so this is not probably for every app or it needs some work to get done right.

Sounds like a great idea, especially now that the idea of doing this for real is becoming a reality :)

Very interesting. Also check the benchmarks with APC: http://bit.ly/116BnnB

Wow that's a hell of a tutorial, thanks for sharing :)
Nikolas0 | 13 years ago | on: How Plans Kill Productivity
Great article. Funny thing that I was planning with my colleagues a project right before I read it and we realised that planning is not going to help a lot.
I mean it's cool to have some rough estimate but you can never be accurate, especially when a project involves doing things for the first time (ie. innovating)
Nikolas0 | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Can you ask someone to be your mentor? How do/did you find one?
Having people helping you with their ideas (or challenging yours) is mandatory in entrepreneurship. That being said I think the best way to have your mentors is to actually ask them to be advisors in your startup.
You will have to pass them some equity on your startup but you're going to gain knowledge and maybe prevent a few mistakes.

A solution (given that management and the team at large understands how this situation is a problem) is to combine the open office with some deep work rooms or if there are no rooms, sound proof pods (eg. from Framery)
