The only thing that seems to be universally true about mental health is that we’re all different, and someone else’s experiences rarely apply perfectly to your own.

I put off getting on the meds for at least 15 years longer than I should have done because of stories like this. They have been life changing lot positive for me with almost no downsides.

In addition, I’ve read more than one story like this where the person eventually decides it’s time to get back on the SSRIs after a year or two off.

Experiment, find what works for you, but these articles that are angry at big pharma and describe pills as primarily bad need to be seen very much as just localised experiences.

You know Banksy made a film about exactly what you’re describing called “Exit Through The Gift Shop” right?

Loved this album, but took my many many listens to get into it. It’s the entry point to Rolling Stone magazine’s top 500 albums if you ever decide to work your way through it

> The internet was doing fine for decades with minimal involvement from governments - why change things?

Because the threat landscape — both malware and privacy-related — have seen a sea-change.

Kinda wondering why the geniuses who surround him haven’t just made endless tapes of interesting discussions and then had him ghost-written up

> [RAM Doubler 2] reclaims unused memory in application partitions, then compresses memory it can’t reclaim ... [it then uses] disk swapping ... as its final strategy

I submitted basically this:

to YC this year. Definitely something that needs thinking about

I think via the driver licensing

> Nvidia contractually prohibits the use of GeForce and Titan cards in datacenters. So Amazon and other providers have to use the $8,500 datacenter version of the GPUs, and they have to charge a lot for renting it.

Your comment says — essentially — “every email company shares with their host country”. If I take that at face value, I would take the USs and Australia’s rule of law and due process and concern for my privacy many many times over Russia’s current government’s.

Parts of the Thames that flow through Oxford are called “The Isis” (presumably after the Goddess), and there are (or at least were) a good number of Oxford things called that

> yeah, most civilians don't know the difference between a Bradley fighting vehicle and a tank

Most ancient Jews couldn’t have told you the difference between whales and fish, either. Some distinctions just don’t matter most of the time:

I guess as long as a high enough percentage of the crew are flight people, you can teach someone else to not get in the way too much?

Are Cloud and Domains special-case product protected from closure? How do I as an outsider know which Google products have this protection?

The comment you’re replying to thinks Step Two is good, but feels a bad Step Three is inevitable.

Clicking on this is asking me to sign in...?

But hey, come build your company on top of GCP!

The people I know to whom DFW appeals tend to be those who think they’re smarter than they are. There is no judgement inherent in this observation.

> What are your "trick foods" that contain a good amount of calories but are good to eat?

Cheese! Parmesan is 50% protein and 50% fat by weight. Almost all soups and stews can be improved in taste and calories by adding enough coconut oil

Another plan is to use self-destructing cookies. You can whitelist some domains then, and break much less

I’ve been using Gmail, etc in Mailplane for quite a while.

I do note that Gmail sign-in on my iPhone appears to have logged me into it on the YouTube app

The same author of the original explores this theme with Java: https://blog.plover.com/prog/Java.html

HackerNews benefits strongly (imho) from strong moderation.

Despite being downvotes, this is on the money. Had he maintained some kind of separation between himself and the office on Twitter, it’d have been fine, but he announces policy change first on Twitter, for example.

> One thing though is that our geography works well with biking

Right, 100%. I wonder if the cheap electric-assist bikes will make more countries / cities essentially “flat”

Propanalol, which is dramatically less illegal, is meant to help with this too, and there are studies showing it too; my understanding (from using it for anxiety) is it basically blocks you from being able to feel stress. This allows you to more easily process painful memories.

> Why is it that way?

If the other methods could target you technically, they would

> That applies to absolutely anything a government could decide to want to do though

Mmm, that’s not true. Courts recognise EU supremacy over the British parliament, although it would be possible to ant-fuck this point if you were feeling truly pedantic.

> pretty much every sentence remains comprehensible with every vowel syllable spoken as "ə"

Making learning a language where the vowel sounds are the important one a freakin’ nightmare for Anglophones.
