I had a very similar experience to what you’re describing and most other folks I know that have ‘figured out’ a treatment share a similar experience as well (more info in a comment below).

I’ve benefited greatly from various medications combined with non-chemical strategies. When I first considered medication I talked with my Doctor, talked with some friends that are Doctors, and did my own research and every resource came up with the same basic info, we don’t actually know that much... Add onto that finding a combination of things that ‘worked’ was a trial and error process that took over a year, all while I was dealing with my mental health issues.

Sadly so many people in a similar situation don’t have the flexibility, access and/or support to go down the path that I did. Often they will opt out because of the stigma associated with having mental health issues.

The fact that we know so little leaves tons of room for improvement in addressing mental health, but I worry that we have a very long road to giant leaps in addressing mental health unless we can destigmatize mental disabilities (and other neurological conditions)

The sample size and (likely) lack of diversity in the group is already pretty weak. Even so I found the brief part about IQ being associated with openness to experience interesting. The article is surface deep for sure but I don’t think it insinuates that understanding and managing emotions doesn’t require work/education. I think their mention of introspection being potentially linked to IQ could be related to the point you’re making here

Not viable yet but I’ve seen experimental fuel cells that can run on natural gas

Hi there. I'm DevRel at StackPath. We have an will continue to support the businesses that we have acquired, but the long term plan is to roll everything into a single platform under the StackPath umbrella. Our customers won't see much if any difference in service other then better performance and more features/products when we migrate them.

Thanks for the comment Josh. We just completely revamped our pricing. I'd love to get your feedback on what we've done, especially given your previous experience

Keen IO is a great alternative. Full disclosure, I'm a product manager at Keen. That said, we do help some of our customers move off of GA to gain more control and flexibility in their analytics

It definitely does seem to align better. It was pretty interesting watching the debate on their platform and I can imagine sportsball getting more involved there as well

maybe back to tumblr?... curious if Periscope is on the chopping block next

I think there is an important art in recognizing signal over noise and being pragmatic when considering how to design a system. I think you're right about trust, but I would add in a focus on fundamentals/first principles over design.

John Edgar (former VP Strategy at DigitalOcean) and his team are working on and writing about this extensively >> medium.com/city-as-a-service/

hey there. Founder of Late Labs here. We could have avoided the double tax problem if we didn't try and keep a small piece of the equity for the company.

Would have to play it like AngelList did for investment (they never actually handled any money or helped with negotiation). Our idea was to keep a very small portion of the equity from each deal to create a big pool of high risk early stage equity... which ended up being our downfall.

Bountysource looks like it can avoid that because they only act as a marketplace for introductions. Make sense?

I'm curious is any other companies have done AMA's for post mortem's?

Preparation looks very different for different types of people. The ability to wing something and knock it out of the park is definitely a skill.

That's only 3.3 Instagram's, one Snapchat, or .21 WhatsApp's. Solid proof consumer tech is always more profitable then enterprise tech.

So bummed I missed this one, Glad the talks are up.

Yeah, something like a webring... shit ok exactly a webring, let's make a .computer webring.

Let's all start the .computer movement! If you get one share it with me and I will start a list of .computer internet places.

Facebook is obviously making calculated grabs for data, I get it. But the premiums they are paying seem Ludacris and I don't think spending this much on relatively easily replicated tech seems worth it. I'm going to guess that they are going to ruin the brands that these companies have created and there are probably already legitimate opportunities for incumbent companies or not-even-built-yet future companies to displace the things they are buying.

that's totally fair. i get pitched all the time... and hit up on linkedin among other places. for some reason I have a very negative gross feeling when I hear these words, and am curious if other's in the community have the same reaction.

ahh. Yeah I feel you there. Just thought there was a somewhat interesting conversation on the GrowthHackers website as well. Thought it might add to the conversation.

hacker news broke the cozymeal :/

I'm all for being creative in marketing... but this kinda seems like link bait spam. Interested in seeing if/how companies use it, but hoping it doesn't turn into ads for weightloss and sex enhancing pills.

Keen has actually has customers do something like this to add context to log files and make searching them more flexible.
