> I'm simply saying that some people don't believe that they can do anything about depression themselves, even though it isn't really in any doubt that psychological treatments help depression.

Getting treatment is literally getting help from other people. In other words, it is not doing anything about depression themselves.

Also, even though Cognitive Behavior Therapy is very effective at treating depression, it does not help all depression, which doesn't discredit it but indicates that depression is complex ensemble of disorders that cannot all be treated in the same way. Depression that is resistant to CBT and antidepressants is scary.

It should also be noted that one of the ways depression manifests is as strong feelings of helplessness, intrusive thoughts, vicious circles of reasoning, and a debilitation of executive function which by definition makes people unable to help themselves.

I'm not sure why you even brought up these 'some people' who are not mentioned anywhere in the submitted link and certainly did not come in here to chime in about their deep need to absolve themselves of the crushing guilt that often accompanies the life dysfunction caused by depression. I think you made them up.

> You're putting words into my mouth.

You used the term 'personal responsibility'. The word 'responsibility' has connotations of duty and obligation. The term 'personal responsibility' as a whole is a dog whistle used commonly in American politics to attack vulnerable populations of people. It is innuendo. The words came out of your mouth, and unfortunately once they're out, they are received in other ears. I'll certainly regret and feel embarrassed having told you to "fuck off" in a few hours or so. C'est la vie.

> Given your angry ranting in response to my arguments, it sounds like you disbelieve the science, so you are in fact proving my point.

I'm angry because you touched a nerve and this subject is important to me. It doesn't have anything to do with the particulars of my understanding. You're rationalizing away my anger towards you. Is it not at all conceivable to you that you can say something that bothers someone for good reasons?
Africans and Jamaicans do in Canada, all those hipster coffee shops where they hand make each cup and charge $6/cup are full of Caribbean and Somalian diaspora. All the weed cafes run by Jamaicans all serve Blue Mountain coffee too and the rasta behind the counter will go on endlessly about it's health benefits if you ask them.
If I could teach everyone one thing it would be to understand as best you can what other people believed in different times.

So called "Biblical Scholars" mess this up all the time and put modern thought into ANE practice.

Case "The rain falls on the just and the unjust." They say this all the time when something bad happens. If you lived in a place where your food is dependent on rain the rain is the good thing. So instead of man bad things happen to everyone it really is good thing happen to everyone. Meaning the whole idea of Karma is broken and you do bad things and still good thing will happen to you from time to time. Doesn't mean your great because you got rich or lucky.

The optimist in me likes to at least entertain the notion that the large scale effort to justify, sanitize and in some cases morbidly celebrate the failing of the long term US foreign policy has some part to play in shaping public opinion.

But if you are absolutely correct that those numbers represent the general values of the American people then can it be argued that once rewarded with enough material gain, an entire population can and will turn positively evil based on most people's moral compass in order to ensure their continued quality of life?

> people trying to use technology to magic away laws that they personally don't like.

Isn't this a good thing? If the law is unjust then technology will expose its weakness (copyright law for instance). If the law is just, it will be strengthened by being tested by technology and if it's applicable in new areas.

Law should not impede progress, progress should push law.

When you introduced the cascading vulnerability at the most fundamental level, you have a key to everything. Society, humanity even, would be best off scuttling any fundamental technology and everything that has not been thoroughly and fully vetted by multiple diverse and counter-interested groups of individuals. Remember, the most fundamental protocols and technologies were built on and with government funding, which directly injects the interests of long-view organizations.
That is unfair. However, we can still remedy that through the vote.

Motivating people to actually do that is a political problem. Our process is just in this way.

Lazy / uninformed people getting the product of those behaviors is arguably just, given the process does provide meaningful remedies.

It's an interesting dynamic. I do see it as somewhat self-correcting. When it gets ugly enough, the process does allow for meaningful reform. Right now, social progress is good. Good enough to provide motivation for preserving the status quo.

Economic pressures continue to mount, but many people still have options, and what we value as people varies widely. Many don't need or want much, but they value social equality, consideration as people, etc... very highly.

Can the deal be made sweet enough for the peeps to accept an entrenched oligarchy? Who knows?

My point though, on fairness, is the process in the USA is allowing that question to be posed, and posed fairly. Sure, the people are being flooded with a lot of misinformation, but most of those people are completely free to talk among themselves, gather, organize, vote... too.

I will recognize voting rights attacks as unfair. Alabama recently closing DMV offices in poor / black counties is unacceptable. Problems do exist, but so do remedies when people do organize and act.

They have to value doing that first though. More and better advocacy is needed.
Sequoia Capital Confirms Funding for Indonesia’s Go-Jek
Depends on how much data you're trying to add to the blockchain. If its small enough to fit inside of a single OP_RETURN transaction, Bitcoin might be enough. Anything larger than that and Ethereum is a clear winner.

Another important thing to remember is that Bitcoin has a block time of 10 minutes. That means that once your user submits data to the blockchain, they need to wait ~5 minutes for even 1 confirmation.

Ethereum has a block time of 12 seconds.
I've used escrow.com for domain sales and can vouch for them. Not exactly sure how they work for selling IP/source code though.
Paypal protects buyers. Paypal will allow the other party to dispute the transaction after they have the source code. They will freeze significant amounts of money and could make it difficult to collect. It is not an escrow service; using it as one defeats the purpose of escrow.

My advice is to take it one step at a time to protect your interests. If the buyer wants your extension, then there are not abundant alternatives in the market.

First, ask the buyer what they have used in the past. This will provide information into their legitimacy and provide a starting point for your research.

Next, ask for a term sheet. Again, this is both a measure of legitimacy and a starting point.

Finally, ask for references regarding similar transactions.

If the other party doesn't present themselves as experienced in this sort of thing, consider it a yellow flag. Don't kid yourself that what looks like a red flag isn't a red flag. International transactions are complex and getting your money won't be easy if someone doesn't want to pay.

If things are proper, the deal could easily close in thirty days or so. That's not to suggest that you need to drag things out, only that it might be wise to take the time to perform some due diligence regarding the counter-party. Particularly since your experience is limited.

Good luck.

This phrasing is incorrect:

> [there are x persons] President Obama ha[s] authorized U.S. special operations forces to assassinate

US special ops are the President's weapon. It doesn't make sense to say "yesterday I authorized my gun to kill a man"; what you want to say is "yesterday I killed a man".

President Obama didn't "authorize targeted killings" or whatever you want to call those.

He (and Bush before him) assassinated people, assassinates them without trial or due process, while smiling and holding babies and making jokes at the White House correspondents dinner, and complaining about the gun culture and mass killings.

The same day of the Umpqua College shooting (10 dead), US drones in Afghanistan targeted a hospital and killed 22 people (12 staff, 10 patients including 3 children).

If Obama really wants Americans to get rid of their guns, maybe he should start with his own.

But of course he won't, so forgive me for not listening to whatever he has to say.

Well think about it. Imagine you had no alternative to getting any video on the internet? After all, if not youtube, anything else was probably slower at the time. Obviously you wouldn't simply lose the desire to watch relevant videos, it'd be dimmed quite significantly sure but you'd still want to watch a video every now and then. Whether it's a music video, or a chess match or a farming lecture, there's just a ridiculous amount of content available. I have plenty of videos I'd want to watch even if I'd have to wait hours. (take torrenting for example, or pre-youtube & pre-streaming file sharing, video and music on p2p networks were incredibly slow yet incredibly popular).

But if you couldn't even load the pages to browse through the videos, that'd pretty significantly reduce your watching even further.

Liken it perhaps to a library where you could only get 1 book per week. Well that's not much, but at least you can get 1 book. But if you go to the library you have to wait in line for an hour, and after examining one book section of 10 books, you have to wait 5 minutes to examine the next one. Choosing the weekly book would become such a chore you'd probably not even bother to go anymore. But if you'd suddenly be able to examine the entire library with only 1 minute of total waiting, many more would be much more inclined to do so, even if they could still only borrow 1 book per week.

Beyond that in my experience, lots of requests in a slow connection often fails before completing fully. I don't know why exactly, I've never been a network engineer. While streaming in a slow connection eventually gets there. So it's entirely possible that even browsing normal pages was failing entirely before for some people, even though (if they ever did load the page and choose a video), the video download worked fine albeit at a very slow pace.
I can vouch for this model. Works great. I think it gets the guide over ethernet. It comes with a jack for that, or you can get an optional wireless USB dongle.

The interface is decent, nothing great, but better than most cable provided boxes. I've got mine hooked up to a 2TB usb drive I had laying around. Worked immediately.

It has reasonably good recording options. It can do string matching, so you can say "record any new shows with the word 'Masterpiece' in the title." That kind of thing.

I recommend it.

The U.S. switch over to digital transmission killed my reception. The analog signal had no problem with the mountain ranges between me and the nearest metropolitan areas, but the digital signal can't make it through. I was using a rabbit ear antennae up until then.

I get the NYC stations. It's perhaps a horrible thing to say, but Osama Bin Laden's boys knocked out only one of my channels and only temporarily; the FCC, however, killed them all.

I think Dropbox would really benefit from integrating something like Pushbullet. Both apps are concerned with syncing. If I need to send a file to one of my devices, I use Dropbox. If I need to send a link, I use Pushbullet. There's no reason why it couldn't be a single app.
That is a very good analysis and I agree 100% having seen no shortage of both types of people you mention.
Thank you, I appreciate the response. Presuming we create a low cost process to produce hydrogen and all our cars and power plants were burning hydrogen as fuel, it would not be an extreme statement to say we would have more rain and snow?

I kind of like that idea.
I went to work for a company that makes a travel product used by people in almost every country in the world, after trying to use it in southeastern Europe. I told them their page weight was killing the experience, and wanted to join the front end team to fix it.

After 6 months of banging my head against a wall, I realized the reason we weren't fixing page weight was because our product managers didn't care about the experience of users in poorer countries, because they didn't have any money to spend anyway. Even though we had lots of users in those countries, and even though we made a big show of how you could use this app to travel anywhere in the world.

If there's a lesson there, its that as long as cold economic calculations drive product decisions, this stuff isn't going to get any better.

Every week someone talks about the same thing. I get it but at this point this topic is passing the point of caring into annoyance and soon apathy. It honestly has crossed my mind to just make a quick script to filter anything that has to do with women/minorities/politics even though it's the equivalent of covering my ears and closing my eyes. Articles based on these things have nothing to do scientific progress and quirky/interesting technical concepts which are the main draw for coming here.

Maybe I'll be enlightened? I don't know. Being completely honest I'm having a hard time getting past fact that the article was written by a woman who could instead get a tech job. My wife is a kernel programmer for goodness' sake. Perhaps I'm failing to see something obvious so it would be nice if someone could show me what's wrong with my line of thinking.
Upvoted. I personally don't care enough and I really, really find Dropbox useful, but I also support holding companies accountable for whatever decisions society deems controversial. Thanks for reminder!

Even then, it's fairly easy to load the video asynchronously and as part of the last assets, make its intro blend in to a single-color background, voila, problem "solved".

I find video backgrounds ridiculous most of the time (though they can be done really well), but that's not the real problem here - the real problem is including 200-800kb javascript code that does nothing but track your user, and often enough doesn't do it for you! (Hi Facebook!)

The real problem is using massive js frameworks for the sake of adding dynamic functionality to your site that, often enough, isn't actually worth it.

The real problem is that very often, these "features" are only as necessary as the marketing team says they are... the people who have the ability to ask "why?" and the ability to understand "why not" don't have the voice (or guts...) to do so.
That's good advice. Personally, I'd give the deal a good sniff test before bringing a lawyer onboard to make sure it looks legitimate on the surface if selling browser extensions were not my normal business practice.
The comparison made here is misleading -- both hydrogen and electricity have heavy storage systems that make up a larger fraction of vehicle weight the larger the range of the vehicle is, which is a problem both have compared to gasoline. So, comparing how much distance per unit of the energy source a vehicle gets based on a vehicle that only has storage to get a single-digit number of miles on a fill-up for one source vs. one that has storage for an order of magnitude more for the other source is not an apples to apples comparison. Scaling up to similar range would make the comparison substantially worse for electric.

That's not to say that Hydrogen isn't more expensive than electricity for the utility provided when you consider actual use in powering motor vehicles, but the comparison made here is quite poor and can only be seen as deliberately misleading (since Musk clearly is not innocently ignorant of the scaling issue it ignores.)
Looking into it further, I think I made a mistake. It was my belief that PaymentTech and BAMS are corps but instead they are "alliances". First-Data owns x% of the BAMS alliance which is different then BAMS of BoA fame.

Also, I had no idea that FirstData went public, in my dealings with them, I always delt with Bank of America Merchant Services, which acted as if First Data was their subsidiary. This opinion came from reading our BAMS contract.

Coming from the merchant's side of things, and dealing with this for over a decade, it "feels" more complicated. However, considering you were on the inside, your first-person version is more accurate.

Hope you didn't take offense.
Thanks. Seems to be pretty general, though. I just think it would be cool to combine this with anecdotal info from antenna users.
Because my diet is so low fat, I actually want the cholesterol. Low fat/high fiber diets basically shut down the genes responsible for endogenous cholesterol synthesis (via SREBP2), I'm pretty sure if I didn't eat lots of eggs my testosterone would be in the toilet (among other things).

Additionally, eggs are very high in arachidonic acid, which is the thing your body actually needs (linoleic acid is only essential as a precursor to arachidonic acid production), and the eggs I buy also contain very high levels of vitamin D, vitamin E and iodine.

As for the fish oil, I buy a high quality supplement that claims to be extremely high purity (though of course this being supplements, that could mean anything). The rational for fish oil over flax is that it contains EPA/DHA, which are the fatty acids that are actually responsible for most of the beneficial effects; your body is pretty poor at metabolizing alpha-linolenic acid to EPA/DHA.
When I was around 6 years old, I was playing hide and seek with my sister. I fell asleep underneath a folded-up roll-away bed in a spare bedroom of our small house (~1000 sqft).

When my sister and my parents couldn't find me, they feared the worst and called the police who came and searched the house and couldn't find me. I woke up, walked out into the living room and everyone stared at me in disbelief.

All that to say that I can very easily see a small child hiding under a skirt remaining unnoticed for several hours. How the child stayed quiet for that long would be surprising to me, but stranger things have happened.

Why aren't there more women plumbers? Is that also because of the "bro-plumber" culture?

There aren't more women in tech because women didn't want to be in tech back in the 80's and early 90's when it was not a sexy field. Someone else started the party. Now they want in because it's cool.
Thanks, Alanis.
Basically, there are two schools of thought. An outdated one, which merges γ into m, and the current one (e.g., the Landau lineage) which leaves m alone. You won't find any "relativistic mass" in any decent source published since the famous theoretical minimum ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Course_of_Theoretical_Physics ).

There is a very good reason for this approach. In the simplest, most classic way of deriving the special relativity from the first principles, the 4-velocity is introduced before the 4-momentum. I.e., γ and m are coming from different places and are not connected in any ways whatsoever.
When I was in school, we knew of no extra-solar planets. Now that we know how to look, they seem to be everywhere. Similarly, I suspect life will turn out to be common once we can send probes to the places that could harbour them.

Intelligent life might well be an order-of-magnitude rarer, and life intelligent enough to be detectable by SETI rarer still. (And we could well be the most advanced civilization in our light cone -- someone has to be.)
