I think AuDHD is meant to describe having both Autism and ADHD, not conflating them into a single condition

>I see this when dispersed camping, simple things like cleaning up at the campsite before leaving. Most people don’t have a problem with it but there are small groups who don’t care about anything. Those small groups tend to ruin it for everyone.

As I understand it, an anarchist camping group (for lack of a better name) could still collectively agree on and enforce rules - in many ways still a "managed" campground, just with more shared ownership

Re:Ask HN: What do you do for physical exercise? on Wednesday November 01, 2017 @05:25PM (#15605612)
For the past couple years I have been training in Pro Wrestling - it's real intense but a lot of fun!

It gives me a new set of skills that I feel complement my career, eg. I spend most time writing software trying to be thorough and spend time thinking things through (sometimes to a fault), whereas being in the ring with someone else requires you to make decisions quickly and trust your instincts. While the training itself is a great workout, it also gives me motivation to do additional work to improve conditioning / strength / etc.

Re:Blockstack releases full details for token distribution on Thursday October 26, 2017 @11:31PM (#15565507)
I'm reading the token whitepaper, and I came across the section mentioning "proof-of-burn" as a way to gain Stacks:

     With proof-of-burn mining, miners destroy a proof-of-work-based cryptocurrency (currently Bitcoin) to get tokens
This seems strange to me - in a blockchain such as Bitcoin where the total number of coins are limited, wouldn't this make the bitcoin community want Blockstack off their chain?

Maybe I am missing something, or the amount of bitcoin destroyed will be negligible?

During the programming languages course on Coursera they focused on SML for the first few weeks - while I haven't done too much with it outside of that course I really liked it
