But the network is not working!

Crashed Chrome tab on Windows instantly but Firefox is fine. It shows loading but pressing Ctrl + U even shows the very start of that fake HTML.

Then again what if showing some funky hallucinogenic images/movies would have the same effect on some people? We surely know that people can go crazy (so have psychological effects) in cults and similar settings. What if intense visual/sonic/etc stimulation, visual distortions etc. together with messaging like "it will change your life and cure your anxieties" is the key in this therapy?

As far as I know antidepressants and even pain killers are the most susceptible to placebo effect.

Was she in placebo group?

Looks like some kind of a gatekeeping ritual to rationalize why upper management salaries are in millions. I think we can also see in other industries too.

You hire hundreds of interns and entry level workers to let them fight in the bloodbath for 100h a week. Pay peanuts. Let them do all the work.

The ones who survive get a bit bigger salaries. Those who still persist in upper level bloodbaths are upgraded into millionaires. And paying them millions looks acceptable as it is so hard to reach the top.

While you clearly could share all those millions between entry level and paid internships, don't have 100h weeks and have a healthy industry.

I feel conflicted about this. On one hand canvas being client side will always lead to cat and mouse game where fraudsters can always generate required "answer". On the other hand innocent users will always be fingerprinted by ad networks and similar.

What is "a bad company"? Google? Amazon? Facebook? Tesla? Tinder? Boeing? Rheinmetall? Lockheed Martin? Pfizer?

RTOS does not improve playback of music but is crucial if you e.g. want to produce music. Imagine a situation where you connect some MIDI keyboard and play some music - you want OS to produce the sound "real time" instead of "scheduling it".

Excuse my ignorance but why does it look so complicated and unnecessary? What exactly does it improve over lets say PHP or Rails or whatever?

From article:

So I tried placing there continue=javascript:alert(document.domain), and… It works!

What do you think document.domain returns in this case?

Mobilized as cannon fodder? Doubt.

Forced to make difficult decisions impacting his and his family life, decisions about living under dictatorship going insane, living in a country reorganizing itself for war economy. No doubt.

These must be two extremes of cultures. Russian and Japanese must be the very opposites in almost every way.

Is this US or EU or somewhere else? I have some experience in Europe.

I (male early thirties then) once was sat in an exit row (replaced with some other passenger) when flying EasyJet. As I understood then only because I seemed to be more fit to sit there.

Once travelling with Ryanair stewardess exclaimed that "oh no you will be sitting with a baby in an exit row". We said "no no we are sitting the row behind". She said "thanks god I thought I will need to rearrange passengers". Of course a baby in an exit row MUST be a big no no anywhere.

So I have a feeling that it is being looked quite seriously.

Out of topic - Why people even have all those tabs open? I may have one or two pinned and that's it? Why are you even in "need of organizing tabs"?

Medical insurance - oh you have cancer/hear attack/etc gene. You premiums skyrocket.

Job opportunities - oh so sorry you have bipolar gene...

Dictator governments - oh your genes are shit so you are not allowed to have kids.

Out of topic question.

Would it be possible to combine machine learning with something like 23andMe and match 100 000 person photos with their DNA. Would we have an AI model which basically can tell how the persons looks like from a strand of hair?

Imagine finding some DNA on a crime scene. Witnesses can say that this person was a bit overweight so you slide some slider to the right a bit and get a pretty good AI generated portrait of a criminal.

How cool and scary that would be.

I think "one two three" sound very similar in a lot of languages. Like pronouncing them "a e i".

OP is "a she"?

For me there was no "after" yet. Psychiatrist suggests to be on meds for at least a year or so. Combine with therapy. Going off meds should be very slow and take a month or so of dosage lowering.

I guess body should have be adjusted to increased levels of serotonin and lowering the dose very slowly should help the body to adjust the levels by itself. Nothing that was not done by millions of people already.

I think I share exactly the same experience and the very same thing helped greatly for me. I was just not diagnosed any postpartum depression but rather good old GAD.

After the birth of a son life changed 180 - no free time, no personal time etc etc. All you can expect. Less sleep, a lot of unknowns and anxieties. Again - expected. Less time with wife. Feelings of down, depression. Some anger problems. But it all looks like everyday life and everybody experiences stuff like that.

Then my father died. So I became "the man of the family".

Then corona hit. Then unknowns at work.

Then one day I was playing with my son and he hit his back and I felt so sick. However x-rays just nothing and he was just fine the next day. Life continues.

And one day I was just chilling and having some alone time and it all hit me like a train. Suddenly I thought I am gonna die. Somehow my heart will fail (my father had heart problems) and basically I could not function as a person. I just wanted that somebody would take me to the hospital or something and just care for me so if my hearts starts failing medics would be near. I couldn't work. One of the worst weeks or so of my life.

Of course my heart was just fine.

All these things were accumulating for some time already. The very same Lexapro helped me a lot. No side effects whatsoever. After a few months I felt like I was actually young again. Things started to improve both at home and at work. Anxiety is 99% gone. I am just so glad I got help. Actually I was forced to as I couldn't function.

You did the right thing no doubt.

However your experience seems to prevent you from seeing the bigger picture.

"Popping pills" is probably chosen not because people don't want to solve problems and change their lives. It is probably because it is only available solution at that time to actually function as a person and member of the society.

It is great that you had money and event time to go to therapy for 6 months as new parents. A lot of parents of newborns will simply not be able to afford it both financially and because of time constrains. Did you bring your new born to the therapy? How much did it cost? Would every single mother be able to afford 6 months of therapy? Some middle-lower class family? Some family in very rural area? Please try to see a bigger picture here and befriend more people from different paths of life.

People take pain medication for back pain not because they don't want to fix their backs. If anybody could fix their back today instead of taking pills they would do it.

So how do I easily draw? I can see potential to use it in documentation and etc but how do I create e.g. mock? Just typing all the symbols I need to remember?

Bialetti makes excellent moka pots for induction. I find it even better on induction stove to control the flow as you can basically leave it on "5" and coffee slowly pours out. Much harder with real fire.

At some point I started believing in something like a Gell-Mann Amnesia but for people.

You talk/listen to this seemingly intelligent person who seems to be so confident in his field. Or rather in one of the fields. And then this person starts talking about something completely different and he can't be more wrong.

The question stands now how much doesn't he know about his own field which he also seems to be so confident about.

E.g. some philosopher psychiatrists starts to give some dietary advices of only eating raw meat. You would think and overall intelligent person should not be giving such advices. So can we just ignore him as dietitian or should we also start questioning his views as a psychiatrist.

This is a fundamental truth everybody needs to understand.

Not my idea, heard it somewhere. That the crucial difference between a human being and AI is that if you show a 3 year old kid one picture of a cat, a kid can recognize all other cats. Was it a lion or a tiger.

You can feed ML 5000 pictures of cats and it can recognize a cat in a picture with something like 95% confidence.

"Overthrowing government" is legal. By winning an election.

I also thought about this. In 5-10 years it would equalize as consecutive years would have less deaths.

Then again you will have excess deaths because of mental health problems that covid causes, medical problems because medical care was not available and etc. These would not equalize.

TBH reads like COBOL.

I think this is a good point and maybe raises a question - are they really quitting or e.g. are being bullied to quit. I have no doubt some part of "quitters" would be exactly that - people "asked to quit".
