Diet and nutritional supplements do help but it really depends on the severity of the symptoms. I don't know much about T3 thyroid and topical progesterone USP, so I can't say how effective they are. I had been researching alternatives to prescription medication, mostly because of the issues I've had getting steady access to ones that don't have major side effects like Haldol and other 1st generation anti-psychotics. I found out about studies done with Tetrahydropalmatine (THP) a naturally occurring compound found in corydalis plants that target the same dopamine receptors as atypical anti-psychotics and found it to be moderately effective. I had also read studies done with L-Stepholidine a naturally occurring compound found in Stephania which is a more potent THP analog. The studies found it to be more effective but haven't been able to find a US supplier. I also came across studies successfully treating schizophrenia with the cannabinoid CBD and tried that recently which I found to be highly effective.
While I agree that happens, in your quote just to be clear, Robert Johnson isn't a member of the Congressional Black Caucus (or of Congress), he's just a very wealthy black businessman (founder of BET) who wrote his opinion opposing the estate tax in a letter to the House Ways and Means Committee. I haven't been able to find whether any members of the CBC actually agree with it. Most of the Caucus's members tend to vote fairly "left" on taxation-related issues.

Thank you for the summary, it perfectly pictures my experience too. I had spent do much time and effort (did the audio cap fix, baseband update and few more)... So much that even now phone calls with my brother (also freerunner ex-user) still start with "do you have an echo".

I used freerunner for quite some time as secondary phone, developed an app or two in python/enlightenment (efl), wrote much of the SHR wiki manual and ended up not even considering Firefox phone or Ubuntu phone at all...

Ask HN: How do you find clients when you have no network and can only do remote?
I have no network, no ability to relocate, can't get a full time job right now, and urgently need to make some bucks real quick, even if it's less than I would otherwise qualify for.

But several articles and comments here suggested that upwork.com and similar freelance websites do some really shady things and that it's not good to use them for any kind of work, even temporary.

And having worked remotely for the past 5 years has really limited my ability to build a network. I don't have LinkedIn and even if I did, it's more meant for building a network than for finding a quick gig.

I've got plenty of frontend/backend/mobile/desktop skills, having made several websites and iOS apps, and 5 years experience working remotely, so I'm definitely confident that I'm qualified to do some freelancing and get a good pay, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a job using these skills but without a network.

Any advice would be deeply appreciated. Thanks HN.
On the contrary, how we want to use our free time is the most important outcome of society, everything else is work.
> They are selling services without providing prices...

And it takes a state license for them to operate. The state could require them to provide an accurate and up-to-date price menu in order to remain in business.

I think the problem is also related to the opaque negotiated prices that "in network" providers negotiate with insurance companies, driving up the cost for uninsured or "out of network" consumers.

There are perfectly rational solutions short of single-payer.

Asserting counterfactuals is the short track to a loss. I encourage you to think through the ramifications of a situation or consult some case histories rather than just documenting your reflexive response.

This seems a little restrictive if it doesn't have some sort of 2FA alternative, like a mobile TOTP app or something. I'd hate to be locked out of any accounts for losing my MacBook, or to be unable to use the accounts from mobile or a different platform.

As a secondary/simpler 2FA alternative I like it, but the description here doesn't do much to explain how to get around the problem of only having this available on my macs.

Could any one point me to advice/guidance, or can answer from experience, what you would do differently when doing IF with regular exercise?

I put that line in there to make the point that we're open to everyone. People email us all the time about their submissions and we're happy to help. The help varies depending on how strapped for time we are and depending on what people are trying to submit. (It might range from 'that's not a good fit for HN' to 'holy is that cool can we help you repost this'.) But it's an important part of what we do and definitely not just for YC startups—we're trying to optimize HN for curiosity and YC startups are a small portion of what's out there.

Currently though, it's a case of squeaky wheels getting the grease. I'd like to reach the quietly creative users who would never dream of emailing us because it feels too demanding.

Edit: when we notice a particularly good Show HN and the submitter has an email address, we often email them a repost invite. Some of the best threads have originated this way. So everybody, (a) please make sure you have an email address in your account, and (b) please don't delete submissions that don't get traction.

The argument here should be don't have a kid when you work at chipotle, let alone three. Why is this ludicrously irresponsible behavior not called out? Why do we feel sorry for people who engage in such monstrously stupid and selfish behavior?
Still, the concept of robots killing jobs forever is exaggerated.

AI is incredible and only going to become even more incredible. But the creativity of the human spirit will always reign supreme.

A robot cannot start a new venture to fill a human need. Only a human can. A robot cannot write a new novel, make a new movie, or craft a new play. Only a human can. A robot cannot solve a human's medical crisis. Only a human can. A robot cannot govern a people. Only a human can. A robot cannot create a video game from start to finish. Only a human can.

I could go on forever. Because almost everything a robot can do must be started + guided + improved by a human before it can be consumed by a human. And ultimately, humans consume, not robots--so that's never going to change.

So while it's true automation can greatly help in all those endeavors, and eliminate lots of jobs in the process (and probably concentrate the value created much more than it was in the past), there will always be more opportunities for humans to be valuable.

Perhaps that means the companies of the future will be smaller and more focused.

Perhaps not. But it does not mean that human beings will be worthless.

but the neocortex evolved overrides to those functions?

In ideal circumstances that might be true but in fact it's usually the other way around. Kahneman's type 1 and type 2 thinking theory expresses this most succinctly:

The key theme of the book is that the human mind has two distinct systems of thought. The first, which Kahneman labels System 1, is fast, reflexive, intuitive and automatic. It is the primitive part of thinking that evolved to allow us to survive in a dangerous world.

System 2 is slow, rational and deliberative. It is the part of our thinking that we can consciously “observe” and is used for analysis, logical reasoning and deliberate calculations. System 2 can sometimes act as rational governor, overriding judgements or decisions made by System 1. However, the main takeaway from Kahnemen’s life work is that System 2 can be “lazy”, allowing System 1 to lead us to irrational conclusions.
Ah rather thinly veiled blog advertisement?
Last I heard publicly, Waymo had gotten their LIDAR kit to under $10k. And still dropping.

You're telling me that a new non-driverless car for say, $15k would outsell a (otherwise identical) driverless car for $25k? The value added by driverless is well above the cost of LIDAR.

Achieving marketable driverlessness first is going to be way more important than cutting costs slightly. Everyone else who doesn't achieve it early is going to be hosed, and no amount of cost cutting will help. They'll just become suppliers or licensees for whoever achieves and patents it first, contractually ceding the lion's share of the profits

In your example I believe that complete mastery of ASP.net and strong competency in the adjacent pieces of the MS stack would probably generate the best job security. This stack is used in many medium size businesses all throughout the US, including many with cheaper cost of living than the Bay area. However, you need to be comfortable knowing that you will work mostly on CRUD type applications that power so many business processes.

The bleeding edge is much more interesting but also carries much higher risk and potential reward. You may find yourself expert in something that was technically very interesting but the timing is wrong or the specific tech fades quickly. So failure mode has you learning and relearning the latest frameworks trying to stay hip and potentially changing jobs frequently. On the other hand, success out on the bleeding edge might but you in an equity position in a start-up that turns into a unicorn.

I gravitated more toward the fringe and have built some cool tech but the start-ups and projects never reached market success and so I often reflect that had I picked more standard problems and tech and become expert in those I would have very high consulting rates today and plenty of work. As it is I have moderately high rates but I don't quite fit into people's mold and it is somewhat harder to stay busy with billable hours.

In the end you also have to live with yourself intellectually and emotionally. So although my more fringe focus hasn't yielded the best economic ROI - I have mostly enjoyed the choices and outcomes for my own life.
I uploaded a picture I took of an Amanita flavoconia, and it correctly identified it as the #1 choice. The mushroom wasn't particularly well visually isolated in the photo either, it had sprung up among a bunch of moss and twigs and only occupied about a quarter of the frame, so I found this fairly impressive.

It's not clear to me how this is answerable.

Whether or not the degree (or lack thereof) matters depends a lot on where you're applying, and who there is doing the hiring.

I don't really look at that, but it's important to some people, and there are things you'll tend to learn in a CS program that you'll tend not to learn if you're just doing relatively simple work (e.g., simple websites).

If you have decent work history, and demonstrable programming skills, it seems like there are enough jobs out there--but that depends a lot on location as well (e.g., I'm on the US east coast near NYC and there are more jobs than qualified applicants AFAICT).

I can imagine people or companies can use this API to check their own functions in test cases. Example - you have tons of deals and at the end of the day it would be interesting to doublecheck daily P&L. But I believe this business doesn't trust anybody but well-known players or experts. Also the time is essential so they will prefer a local library. And again, the security can prohibit external APIs.

>> no reason why the labor transformation we're undergoing now will reduce overall jobs in the market. It never has.

In Ancient Rome, access to cheap slaves, created a very high unemployment among the plebs, who than became dependent on support from the state.

Than the question becomes: could technology create a "cheap slave" equivalent ?
That's good point. I wouldn't expect pricing to function like that, especially in life or death situations. In our case, this was a surgery that was planned and scheduled a month in advance and at no time was a price ever mentioned. Just a letter from Anthem saying it was covered. We didn't start to see anything on the monetary side until after it was all said and done with. In advance of the procedure I tried to find some pricing data on the surgery but struck out. Apart from some articles about hospitals in California publishing prices for procedures, I could find nothing for the east cost.
That is in only the very best US health care.

Chronic pain is an extremely tricky phenomena. A lot of US health care been "dealing" with it by handing out opioids and we can see the devastating effect of that. Even a given physical therapist may not be able to help a given patient (assuming some body of some sort could at all).

Similarly, a smart consumer may be able to find a massage therapist with skills in a bodywork subdiscipline that happens to really help them (I favor trigger point and Shiatsu massage after sample a bunch in my area). This is cost effective compared to just about everything and something I imagine someone in UK could find in the larger cities.

There is a perfectly valid argument to be made that the state should not have intervened (this is subjective), but it had very little to do with the NHS being single payer.

And by choosing to use the single most emotionally charged case, you are also skipping all of the perfectly rational arguments against the broken health care system we have now.
