No they don't. Several psychologists have made claims of harassment, all of which have been shown to be specious at best. In the UK at least the link between psychology and The Science Media Center has massively helped push the, dare I say it "fake news" of threats.
Alternatively have a think about pricing plans and display them as rates for beta users, guaranteed for the first 12 months or some such.
Exports are always useful, but I'm more concerned with the time spent integrating a system only to potentially have to find and learn a new one.
Of course, none of these are reasons not to post a Show HN!
This suggests in the future you will be charging but as there is no indication of how much, I can't justify spending any time to see if I like something that might end up being too costly to integrate into my workflow.
The second panel of information is a video covering "color theory" and goes off almost straight away talking about using "the 500s" and moving to "the 700s". I've no clue what this means. What is a 700?
Strangely a google search yields no results as to what this means, but the video takes it as fact I should know what it's on about.
This was an MVP I threw together which I've been using ever since- to be honest the interface needs a bit of work but solves the problem for me.
Syntax highlighting shouldn't be a big issue to add.
Note the iOS app isn't currently on the app store, but contact me if you want to test that as well. (email in profile)
>>Rhizanthella gardneri reproduces vegetatively by which it can produce three daughter plants. They also undergo sexual reproduction, and underground insects such as termites and gnats are known to pollinate the flowers
A nice clear concise before <> after comparison would go a long way to show what this app actually does.
I saw in one place that your your understanding of the illness was described as "6 months of disabling fatigue, depression, sleep disturbances, and/or GI problems"
If that's the case then I'm afraid I don't think you are really an authority to talk about CFS from the perspective of a former patient. That does sound like a stress related breakdown which happens to share many of the symptoms associated with CFS.
Sorry but this is dangerous and insulting to a lot of CFS patients. I wonder how far down you were as I've seen several examples of people driven to near suicide if they had the energy. These are people who are desperate beyond comprehension and will literally believe anything put in front of them.
You may have been able to hack yourself better but you are going down the route of victim blaming here suggesting "if only you believe it will work".
CFS seems to have a lucky group who recover and then become almost evangelical about their approach, thinking it will work for everyone. Often this treads dangerously close to pseudoscience and how they know more than doctors.
9 times out of 10 a book or audio course is not far behind.
I'm always open to differing views, so would be interested in any recent papers pointing to a psychosomatic cause, especially as this seems to be an area active research is moving away from.
I completely agree the mind/body need to be treated more as a single entity, but the researchers and clinicians I've been engaged with are most certainly looking at this in a non Cartesian way. Nb these are not general practice doctors.
Again, I'm comp sci rather than medical, so my experiences are anecdotal but a good many of the CFS patients I've known have not been under chronic stress with the often exception of CFS seemingly being triggered by a viral infection such as glandular fever. I can't comment on whether cortisol levels remain high.
Fundamentally there is so much we don't understand about what may in fact be a group of illnesses, hence why people's personal stories seem to fall into two or three conflicting camps.
We need more data to go on, which is why I've a side project looking to address this which will hopefully lead to more areas of research.
As someone whose partner has CFS (since she was aged 12) I have to disagree strongly on this, although my experiences are anecdotal I'm more than 99% sure CFS is a physical condition rather than mental.
Having also studied much of the scientific literature of the past few years I'd be strongly critical of your assertion based on the results of any respected doctor or controlled study.
Unfortunately suggesting it's a mental condition has resulted in such helpful suggestions from doctors as "get a new hair cut to cheer you up" which is akin to telling a cancer sufferer that lipstick might help.
I'd be happy to discuss further and provide numerous studies suggesting it is a result of a (most likely) viral infection that has had long term repercussions on the immune system.
There are scammers out there, but it's not the patients or the majority of doctors - at least in the UK.
Disclaimer: I'm currently working on a data gathering problem related to this as a side project with a view to crowdsourced funding.
I'm thinking one months project might even be a platform to encourage others to do this in 2016...
Of course I'm briefly blogging about it as a journal too.
Initial discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8908275
And yes, I did manage to ship in January! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8973807
I am planning Feb's challenge later today...
This post hasn't gained any traction but maybe one of the monthly projects will catch the groups interest!
Example: http://goo.gl/maps/KI48d
One direction (eastbound in this example) has priority as dictated by road markings, and those traveling westbound can use the lane for passing if and only if it is safe to do so. The onus is on them to ensure a safe maneuver.
With a fairly high standard for the driving test in the UK this is totally normal and as far as I'm aware has a similar low rate of accidents to normal 2 lane traffic.
Depending on your aim with these, next year would be a great year to focus less on dev and more on marketing. Many of these have zero reviews on the play store but are on par with other more established apps.
Due to the specific arrangement we had, I (understandably) didn't get paid anything, although the idea is still on hold to be resurrected when I'm more able - although this may be as a solo project then.
The concept and semi-anonymous funder are certainly legit and I'm interested to see how the other projects from this develop.
I'm almost finished polishing up an App I wrote for personal use that edits/ synchs a folder of .txt files. (Maybe this weekend I'll get around to finishing it?)
Its not groundbreaking but it'll be available iOS and Android - then use your favourite text editor on pc/mac.
Email me if you want to beta test in a week or two?
