A lot of people simply don't have access to psychotherapy. Many national healthcare systems and health insurers have very limited provision. Many people in the US are uninsured or have very limited access to insurance-funded psychotherapy, despite the MHPAEA and the ACA.

Here in the UK, someone diagnosed with depression or anxiety by their primary care physician is likely to receive no more than six sessions of CBT, often after a wait of many months. Private psychotherapy costs £60-£100 per session, which is totally unaffordable for many people.

We have a chronic shortage of psychiatric inpatient beds and very poor follow-up care. People who are hospitalised after a suicide attempt are often discharged the same day with little more than a prescription for antidepressants and the promise of a home visit by a community nurse.

Sadly, the UK isn't an outlier.
Yes, I totally agree with this. I spent weeks debugging some some unexpected behavior with a flash memory chip, only to learn that some crucial information was "explained" in one very cryptic sentence. It turns out the datasheet was originally written in Korean and the translated, poorly, into English.
The article references the healthcare at the costs, but doesn't provide any details.

Does anyone know of studies showing life expectancy at the coasts or by state instead of country aggregate?

I'm a happy Lemonade customer. I signed up because a) the policy was dirt cheap, and b) the policy agreement was clear and also quite generous. It was not AI-generated: it's just a PDF like every other insurance policy agreement. And the policy was only so cheap because they let you take out a policy with a lower coverage limit than you would normally be able to find from a traditional insurer. Moreover, I didn't get pushy sales calls after getting a quote (Liberty Mutual was particularly offensive in this regard).

I was skeptical, then my phone got stolen. I reached right out to their "emergency hotline" and told them what happened. After some initial confusion I got to work directly with a customer service rep who basically bent over backwards to ensure that I was satisfied. It didn't seem like a terribly sustainable way to do things, and I wouldn't expect that kind of service once they start to grow, but it worked out great for me and I sure as heck got my money's worth in coverage.
I think they mean network drives mounted or accessed in Windows. For example, from WSL I can't access files on my network share (in windows it's \\pc-name\\shared, where pc-name is running Samba under Linux). Mapping a drive letter to it doesn't work either - the only thing that shows up in /mnt is c. This is quite a pain.
The article mentioned that they would be between 50 and 200 meters below the surface. I assume to access the cooler waters at those depths.

If you're getting 1% it may or may not be a good deal, but it's not insultingly low. You can always ask for a higher salary with less equity, but they may or may not have the cashflow to support that.
That term is reserved for organisms comprised of cells that derived from two or more zygotes, but you've definitely got the right line of thinking. Some of the cells of a female will express the genes from one of the X chromosomes, whereas the rest will utilize the other. It certainly can lessen the ill effects of certain X-linked diseases.

Notice that is because Mexico and Croatia are expected to have a higher rate of improvement towards 2030, vs. the U.S. only improving by a couple of years. It's not that U.S. life expectancy will decline (although it did last year for the first time), just that others will improve more.
My goodness. This article is written backyards. It uses positive phrases in negative ways that make it much harder to read...

As others have said, no insult is intended. Have you worked for startups before? There is risk involved, especially earlier. Some of that is born by the VCs but some of it by the founders and employees. If you want a paycheck commensurate with your experience and talent, if you have responsibilities on the home front, then you should work with an established corporation. An early stage startup may not be for you. That by itself doesn't make their offer insulting. I worked for an early stage and got a 7 figure payout. My offer was less than yours.

If you want to value this correctly, you should evaluate what you think the company's chances are and what your stock option is. The second is harder. You'll have to ask how many outstanding shares there are to figure out what your equity percentage is. Then you have to do some research to find out what's reasonable.

None of this is insulting.
Nice thanks for sharing that :)

I dont suppose she needs the CPU power in the raw sense, as in she is not going to run builds or render anything. But, I have seen her using Excel like a Pro with ginormous sheets and sophisticated formulas. So, a good CPU room would be useful I think.

Asus ZenBook looks neat. Will definitely check it out.
Which drawbacks are those? (One is performance, unfortunately).

Rebuilding the code is the norm in the GNU/Linux landscape.

Is Ubuntu x86_64 built from Fedora x86_64 packages? Etc.

The requirement "I want to run Linux stuff on Windows without rebuilding" is basically stupid, because you normally don't even run stuff from Linux distro A on Linux distro B without rebuilding.

It sort of works for programs that have minimal, reasonably old dependencies.

Every time I think of all the extra hundreds of hours I spent learning things that didn't help my developer career and that seemed to be distractions, I tend to compare those to courses published online that have precise learning modules that are so helpful.

College just seems like it's so expensive compared to the value you get out of other sources of knowledge.
When you accept this, you accept that "censorship" is unavoidable.

Your scare quotes indicate that when you say "censorship" you mean "the right to choose which points of view I/we will legitimize," I guess? Or "not censorship at all as it turns out?"

Dissenting views need to be given a platform, even if they make some students uncomfortable.

Should newspapers be forced to print my letters to the editor, even if they are a bunch of fevered ravings, because my incoherent hate-screeds need to be given a platform?

If you want to promote unpopular points of view, you may have to build your own platform. And 2017 is actually the best time in history for this very thing, and people who do no-kidding advocate genocide seem to have no trouble banding together and making their arguments available to anyone who's interested.
When I go to a physical store I frequently end up buying things I didn't really intend to, but with Instacart, I only end up with the things I actually wanted.

Specifically what products do you end up buying? I have always wanted some insight as to who buys these items near the register and why, as I rarely see anyone pick them up.

Time and willingness. The people you train to use a typewriter aren't just learning to type but how to provide limited service and maintenance to the machine, which, besides being another responsibility to take on, didn't fit with some people's idea of what a librarian should be doing.

Perhaps you know of a machine like this in your own life, but some typewriters spent as much time broken (ie- no one present knew how to fix, even if it was a simple jam) as they did being usable. And since you could only train one person per machine at a time, either you'd have to send people off for classes (not guaranteed to be on the same model) or limit access to them based on who was willing to become the local typist.

Penmanship is fairly social and a skill many would have already had and prided themselves on. 'Make your letters this way' is a simpler request then than 'learn how use without breaking this expensive and delicate contraption that's more trouble than it's worth'.
Hey a 1000 active users is great. Well done. Maybe show challenges that have active discussions on the front page to showcase your active user base?
What in the world are you talking about, RB trees are incredibly useful.
Use instagram then - there are other choices. FB is meant to be a full stack platform.
So Amazon Fresh has an optional tip. Instacart is adding a default 10% fee that goes into their pockets - it is not a tip. And they do not pass the 10% fee on to the employees in wages - it stays as part of their bottom line. Higher-ups realized just how much the tips are worth, are now stealing them by default behind a purposely confusing interface that their customers cannot understand, and pocketing the difference while affecting their employees' income.

This is 100% nefarious. There is no reason to have both an optional service fee and a separate optional tip. It's one or the other; combining both options makes absolutely no sense.
I recommend this:

>I break even by paying someone else that $10, if I value my leisure time as equivalent to my wage.

I value my leisure time at the arbitrary amount of $1000/hr. Have I broken even if I pay $1000 to someone so they'll do my grocery shopping?
So how does this work? It's not very clear from the article.
Thank you for a sensible analysis. However, if you're off by an order of magnitude, 4x revenue for a fast-growing startup in a $582B industry seems reasonable [1]. The key data point is number of customers.

What's a reasonable ratio for customers to contractors/shoppers? Perhaps we could estimate the number of customers from the number of contractors/shoppers. (Of course, "tens of thousands" may be a lifetime value, not currently active ones.)

[1] https://www.statista.com/statistics/197626/annual-supermarke...
Wait a minute... wait. Those service fees I've been opting to pay haven't been going to the shoppers/drivers who are processing my order? On my last order I asked the shopper to specifically go out of her way to check on an out of stock item. I did this with the assumption that my 7 dollar service fee was going directly to her, and that she would therefore be happy to go out of her way. When the delivery person (I think the same as the shopper) came by and I smiled at her, I thought that was a "we're square", not a "sorry for not tipping you" smile.

I'm livid. It's on instacart to pay fair wages with the delivery fees if they think it's a problem. Their misleading double fee system is unfair to both me and (more importantly) the people who are directly providing me with service. I'm sick of the uber-ish "on-demand" service culture abusing their non-employees under my dime.

edit: funny thing is, I just watched the infamous episode of Kitchen Nightmares about Amy's Baking Company. In the episode, Gordon Ramsay becomes furious when he finds out that the customers' tips aren't going to the servers. He goes into the restaurant and asks the patrons if they would have tipped if they knew this and everyone agrees no. The owner meekly explains in a follow-up episode that he does this so he can pay the waiters a "fair fee". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy's_Baking_Company. This episode utterly destroyed Amy and her husband's company. Instacart, I love your service. It's changed the way I grocery shop and I planned on being a regular, high-value customer. Please don't make me question my decision on this.
1% for a post money non founder is pretty good.
How could anyone ever know this? Uber doesn't even have this data, since the tip is in cash.
No doubt doors are one of the biggest challenges.

Many of the challenges could be reduced or mitigated if the pods could be at least partially pressurized to reduce the pressure differential between the inside and out -- but that introduces another complexity -- can the server hardware handle it.

There are quite a few engineering challenges, none of them unsolvable but also none of them seem necessary when it seems the same benefits can be obtained for less effort by keeping the pods above water.
How do you figure?

Assuming ranges are A-B, where A <= B (you could like one season) and A, B are in [1, 28] then there should be just 406 ranges (28 that start at season 1, 27 at 2, etc...).
That's an unconvincing response. The alternatives are not necessarily magic (it's terribly unclear what you mean by "magic" here, but I'm making some reasonable assumptions) -- but if they were, why would that be so terrible? You're certainly free to denounce whatever you want as "magic" -- but that doesn't tell me why it's bad.
You may have missed the part where the service fee is optional and can be removed, or replaced with a tip to the employee. The fact that the fee is optional, instantly makes it not a "fee". Service fees are not a discretionary addon that customers can choose to eliminate.
After seeing this post[1] of a postcript file, I was wondering if there was any way it could harm my computer, paranoid you could say. Apparently I need to watch out for postscript viewers that allow writing to files. Are there any that allow file writing by default?

There is absolutely no way to judge what is "trash" or not. They are working on removing the blatantly false but being a communications platform, there will always be the issue of 1st amendment allowances to let people post what they want.

TLDR; Coasts being always superior isn't really an accurate depiction. Hawaii (1), CA and Connecticut (tie for 3 and 4) definitely are coastal, but also rich. Minnesota (2) is definitely a surprise for me. NC, SC, and Georgia aren't rank that high and FL is marginally higher.

As a prof, I just don't understand why people in this discussion think I should be spending part of the $4,000 allotted for a year's worth of travel funding for speakers on some genocide advocate. And then I gotta host 'em and take 'em out for dinner because that's the polite thing to do? No thanks. On the institution side, we invite people we want to do research with or who will talk to our classes about something useful. Fundamentally self- or student-serving, but not idealistic, because there are tenure and promotion packets to be written.

Say a student group invites the genocide advocate, because they've got time for that. Then another student group wants to protest, because they've got time for that. There are the student groups who will want to protest your way and the student groups who will want to yell so loud that the speaker can't be heard, and these groups won't agree. People will start complaining to the faculty advisors about X inviting Y and Z shouting down Y and W not standing up enough to Y and X, and it will get out on social media, and you'll read about the brouhaha a few days later when the event is cancelled because the admin just doesn't want to deal with the headache and the costs.

I tend to agree with you that the empty hall is the best vaccination. It just requires a coordination among the student body that would be remarkable, that would require real leadership from someone who saw this all coming. People are so mired in the day-to-day that this leadership is generally lacking. How to foster it, if that's what we want?
There have been many analyses as to what could be causing the lower life expectancy in the US. Some of it comes down to how deaths are counted.

- In the US, a baby is more like to get intensive medical care if it's born with a condition vs. other countries where they are often labelled as "stillborn"

- The US has a higher than expected premature birth rate. These babies are more like to die, so that pulls down the average life expectancy.

For example, in the United States, arrivals of all living infants are counted as births, but a few European countries (the Czech Republic, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway and Poland) have more restrictive definitions. For example, France and the Netherlands report live births only if the infant weighs at least 500 grams — a little more than a pound — or were born at 22 weeks’ gestation or later.
They're not necessarily talking about just those items. The entire store is designed so you buy things you weren't intending to buy. You never said/thought: "Ooh look ice cream's on sale..." and failed to resist?
Brush up on your social skills, hacking computers are nowhere near as valuable as hacking people.

Be CEO of something, dress sharp, get fit. How you look, act, and dress is your UI most hackers have a really shitty UI. Get a good logo, great cards and a good website / brochures. Pay others to make these things, use fivver, put everything out to bid, some people are really cheap, don't be afraid to hire people undercharging for their services. Tip them so you get prioritized.

Sell something repeatable, anything you can pay someone else to do, pay them. Get a lawyer, a good accountant, create your own contracts, run any serious changes by them.

Make sure you have quotes from your subcontractors, double it. Triple it. 10x it. Charge that to your clients. The more you charge the better you are.

Basically be the fucking man. Don't apologize for it.

Read everything by Robert Cialdini. It's a hacking guide to the masses. Read how to win friends and influence people it's a guide to hacking individuals.

Realize everyone is winging it and actors are doctors when they wear lab coats, lawyers when they wear suits and bikers when they wear leather. It's not hard to pass for anything wearing the right clothes.

Don't be afraid to bill $500 for something you paid $24 for. Never tell people how much something cost you or where you sourced it from.

Be really nice and highly complimentary to people.
Is value created by labor necessarily the only way to create value? Can labor by itself cost $10, I pay out $10, but when I combine that labor (a largely undirected force) with thought (scheduling, order placement, etc) I get a multiplier over the labor?

It seems like it should be possible to do this. I pay for raw, undirected labor. It's like raw iron. When I use my skills for planning (speaking as the management for the company), I can pay full price for labor, but get synergistic effect not possible without thought? To keep with the iron reference, in the end I produce steel or even better a car. Seems like the labor to extract the iron met a multiplier of my metallurgic enhancements.
> For some reason, though, liberals are falling head-over-heels to defend the right of the former to amplify his message.

I think this has to be the most galling thing to see among so many of my liberal (of course white) friends and family: coming out strongly to support Milo's right to speak at a college campus.

A lot of them were pretty quiet too during BLM protests but they felt it was their civic duty to say everyone should have a right to speak their view. I know those people too, and they view themselves as very progressive, but when you decide to most vociferously defend the free speech of Nazi's over minority voices, what the hell have you become?

The problem with bringing up the minimum wage is because it doesn't apply here. Quoting chron.com[1]:

"The Fair Labor Standards Act does not apply the minimum wage payment requirement to independent contractors. However, merely classifying a person as a contractor instead of an employee does not automatically keep the worker from being considered an employee entitled to minimum wage."

Searching around led me to [2], which talks about Form 1099-MISC, which is used for independent contractors. On the other hand, I found [3], which makes me think that some can choose to become part-time employees, but I don't know what the status of that is.

It's also worth noting that, for full-time employees, vehicle-miles traveled are often reimbursed for car usage as part of the employee's work. I don't know if that's being done here, and that would be a major expense. It would also be an expense that your normal full-time employee would not have to pay, as they wouldn't use their car as often.

The world will not be accommodating to startups associated with an organization with obvious bad ethics. Thiel helped get a fascist into office. AirBnb is complicit in eviction. This is less political than business advice for anyone. The US brand is very tainted, the SV brand more tainted, the YC brand most tainted.
This hits home, because I recently made a list of all the unread books I own, and marked whether they were purchased (by me), gifts, or on loan. I was shocked by the number, and instituted a rule of not buying anymore books until I've read all of the ones I currently own that I intend to read.
