My girlfriend is a NP. She does make a good living, but the amount of stuff she puts up with is something I could never put up with. I may be stressed about a production emergency or a looming deadline, but for the most part I work 8-4. She deals with long, changing hours and has told me stories that have made me physically ill just from the description. I'm not sure how they handle this. She's had to put up with this even before she got an actual job. Clinical took a toll on her even before she graduated. The fact that LPNs and RNs even go to work everyday with lower pay and crazy hours amazes me. My hat goes off to the medical profession. Our system may be a mess but the doctors and nurses are making a lot of sacrifices to keep people healthy and alive.
I mean, I'd classify my startup as a fintech company (at least from the outside):

Https://projectpiglet.com

I'll tell that to investors, people who click the link, etc. That's because it describes that I'm working with / in the financials space (aka financial statistics, and investing as it relates to assets of some kind).

Now... I personally, classify the company is a "human analytics" company. The system learns about people. Off the platform I can build insider threat detection (if deployed within companies), I can build a search engine for experts / people, I have a way to track brand strength, sentiment around politians, create curated news updates provided via email, etc. Even track the "strength" of a mene

All those are already on the platform or are demos...

Is it a fintech company? Yes, to people looking for fintech, but is it also A, Y, and Z - sure. Defining what a company does is difficult in some cases; fintech is currently what is describing anything really working with money and / assets to make money.
I'm going to have to firmly disagree on all points.

Car towns are the worst for the elderly. Most elderly don't feel comfortable driving but in the US, they're all but forced to do it to escape the house. Anywhere else, they can get out and socialize. Getting physical and mental exercise. You're also likely to find nicer single-floor homes (good condos with elevators) rather than "old people warehouses". As for snow, do you really want drivers with failing eyesight and reaction time to be driving on snow and ice? Or even shoveling out their car, for that matter?

I have young children. How many articles have we seen here about kids walking to school or childhood independence? Being car-bound makes that extraordinarily difficult or impossible. At this point, I struggle to think of an advantage of a "car town" for kids. Less time spent getting dressed in the winter, maybe? I suppose when they're older and even more "free range", I'll have to worry about how far they've gotten on the bus or train without me. I'll consider that being a victim of success though.
There appears to be a scene in reality where someone is doing this, too: https://www.theivdoc.com/ ("Food Poisoning Relief")
The security on this is actually a lot better than most cameras--all the traffic is SSL using trusted client certs. To get into the traffic they had to tear the device apart and extract the cert. After that they could MITM the traffic between the camera and the remote server and observe some bad security. Unfortunately they also published the extracted certificate on their blog which is not cool.

With no disrespect intended to your friend, a trained clinical psychologist wouldn’t necessarily know the underlying mechanism of these drugs. The split between medical psychiatry and clinical psychology is real.
According to most humans no, because while it may possess a mind, it does not have a soul and hence can be used and exploited. This is the argument we have given ourselves over millennia to use highly intelligent animals and of course human slavery was based on the myth that Africans were sub-human and slavery was good for them. Why do you think this time will be any different?
At least the early 90s, possibly earlier.

The poster asked for "access to psychedelics (and analogues) in a safe, professional setting", which ideally (if the treatment is one that indeed works and isn't placebo) would be one that is monitored by your doctor. I agree that self-medication is not idea.

The issue here I think is that most current anti-depressants are currently of the SSRI / SNRI / tri-cyclic class. These treatments work great for some people, but do not work for everyone.

In one case (ketamine), this particular hallucinogenic drug has emerged as a candidate for anti-depression therapy (at least in mechanism) that works quite a bit different than the above (acts on glutamate). Non-hallucinogenic glutamatergic anti-depression drugs are being developed as a result, but as one is well aware, this takes time. Until one of these drugs emerges (rapastinel seems furthest along at this time), off-label ketamine clinics do exist where you can take the drug with some degree of clinical supervision.

I have not seen too much on the serotonin agonist hallucinogens in the past relieving depression, but Googling, there does seem to be a newish article on psilocybin (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-13282-7) that suggests it does offer a possible interesting anti-depression mechanism too. Possibly more exploration is needed here to confirm whether it works well (or not) and, if so, how.

I don't think we've even come close to exploring all routes to resolving depression, so I think exploring as many routes as possible is a good path. (And I do think scientists are doing this -- the parent article was for instance the first time I've heard of a melatonin receptor agonist as an anti-depressant candidate! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agomelatine )
Good friend of mine was a psych nurse. Can confirm from his stories.
CST/Cogs Framework – IT Org Principles for Craftsmanship and Innovation
The disturbing thing about this paper to me - flashy though it may be - is what they left out rather than what they kept in.

OpenAI appears to only be thinking of the crimes-against-individuals segment of malicious AI, rather then the crimes-against-humanity type of malicious AI that the surveillance advertising corporations who are supporting OpenAI are building.

I am far, far less worried about an assassin's drones using AI to find a politician in a crowd than I am about Facebook using pictures of me that other people have posted and tagged me in, so that my face is used to track my movements, and the movements of every other human on the planet, everywhere we go, and selling that information to everybody who wants a copy, and giving it away at the request of the local police.

I'm more concerned about Google using AI to mine every conversation I've ever had or my browsing history to classify me as a dissident before I apply for a visa to travel to China or the United States, or as a deadbeat before I apply for a bank loan, or sick before I apply for insurance, or as unrehabilitatable before I apply for parole.

Don't reinvent the wheel, unless you plan on learning more about wheels
Software industry does not have a true love for wheels, inventing wheels, and less than everything for reinventing the wheel. Anyway, that's often necessary to really understand how things work.

“Don't reinvent the wheel, unless you plan on learning more about wheels.”

The quote is by Jeff Atwood (aka @codinghorror).

What do you think about it? Did you ever try to build something that already exists, just out of curiosity, or to understand it better? How did it go?

I'm against most regulation when it comes to technology. The only time I think the government should step in would be in cases where there is a natural monopoly.

For instance, internet service providers like cable companies have a natural monopoly or duopoly at most. The financial and legal restrictions (establishing right of ways) makes it nearly impossible to compete in delivering internet to the last mile.

Mobile carriers should also not be allowed to merge. There are only limited frequencies conducive to wireless transmissions -- a new carrier can't really come in if all of the frequencies are licensed.

The Struggle Over Snapchat's Controversial Redesign
Agreed on a stand-alone basis, but couple that with client certificate based auth and all client certificates being the same worldwide, and it makes the UART a convenient step in the chain of attack. (Agree that the problem isn’t the UART pads though.)
Literally the second sentence in the article says:

Are there any thoroughly documented examples demonstrating use of an RTL-SDR to view these wireless cameras?
In Europe in particular (and I'm sure elsewhere) a lot of pedestrian areas are very narrow. The lack of precision is a big problem. I have not had same number of issues in the US presumably because so many pedestrian areas were built with cars in mind (at least at first).

I take venlafaxine for migraines and and of the many drugs I’ve tried, absolutely nothing compares to the withdrawal symptoms for venlafaxine. They start 12 hours after missing a dose and doctors have no official designation for them, besides being insanely nasty.

Please for the love of all that is holy, if you are on venlafaxine and want to switch to something else: titrate. Not all doctors know about the withdrawal problems with venlafaxine. They are horrendous.
> It's commonplace to have 4-10GB of free memory at any given time

An entry-level computer nowadays has 4GB of memory. Not free memory, total memory. That 4GB has to be shared between the operating system, all running apps, and the disk cache.

> and it should be utilised if it's available instead of being wasted by being unused.

If it's available, any modern operating system will use it for the disk cache, instead of leaving it unused.
Both 00000 and 4A4E8 contain the largest number of hashes so it could just be coincidental that the former looks recognisable.

Am sure the usual justification to apply salve to your conscience for this sort of activity is the trope that the 'bad guys' will do it anyway, so we need to do it before them to counter them and be the torch-bearer of liberty.

The atom bomb was developed upon that fear and pretext. Compared to that AI is a fairly mild thing.
Sure I can use Qt. And deal with C++ and the MOC. Well, by C++ I mean whatever dialect of it Qt chose to support to be backwards compatible with apps from 1995, certainly not C++14 or even C++11 last time I looked and oh yeah - have to use their smart pointers and string/container classes, and learn yet another build system, Qmake was it? And use their “interface builder” and cheap looking Visual Studio knock-off?

Orrrrrrrr - JavaScript/Typescript with the amazing Chrome debugger and get my work done in half the time?

You’re really really not selling Qt at all, least of all to people who might have NodeJS (lots of those) experience and want to get something done quickly.

Yes I’m also aware of Qt’s 200 language bindings and funnily enough, a lot of shitty, slow, crash Qt apps on my Ubuntu desktop are Python with the PyQT bindings. Because even those guys want to get their job done quick.

So, basically - Electron seems like a really nice default choice.

I am precisely saying that Congress should be allowed to pass any type of gun laws. Right now, Congress cannot infringe on people's rights to bear arms due to 2A. I am saying Congress should be able to do that. They should be able to ban anything they want by passing laws. And if the people that they are representing want gun confiscations, Congress should pass laws for that too...

Right now they cannot because the constitution doesn't allow it. If you repeal 2A, then they (Congress) will be able to do much more about guns.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say: this is the kind of style that makes me go "yawn, this is boring". Endlessly meandering and circling the subject, stopping every sentence to make an irrelevant digression or an attempt at humour (breaking my concentration in the process), stretching on and on... Yeah, give me a concise text, that goes straight to the subject, and that doesn't attempt to take a conversationalist tone with me as if we were having a beer together, give me that any day.

Yes, I understand some people have the opposite view, I'm just trying to day that there are surely a lot of people too that find this kind of style extremely distracting and frustrating.

Depression and other mental illnesses are defined by a set of symptoms. Suggesting one particular cause is being disingenuous. Having said that, the whole notion of "too much" or "too little" of something like serotonin is a gross oversimplification, at best useful as a metaphor to explain things to people at a very high level.

If you want to take it a step further, think about what's causing communication via neurotransmitters to be slowed or sped up (not enough available? not being released? not being picked up by receptor?), the fact that there are multiple receptors for each neurotransmitter which drugs may or may not manipulate, the fact that there are multiple neurotransmitters (which end up affecting different areas of the brain and hence different symptoms, though some symptoms are influenced by multiple neurotransmitters), and that putting all these things together to result in the right balance of communication (not quantity of chemicals) in the brain, it would be a surprise if there weren't multiple different approaches for the "same" problem.
The definition seems to be wide. My 'fintech' startup [0] focuses on automated bookkeeping, but depending on who you ask, automated bookkeeping is or is not regarded financial technology.

You have some choice native apps - Sublime is Python, which is rather horrible with memory usage and Thunderbird essentially embeds a browser just like Electron apps.

Compare VSCode or Atom with Emacs or Gvim for something more native.

To pick some apps off my desktop right now:

- Emacs with a pile of extensions, 22 MB

- SpeedCrunch, 13 MB

- SumatraPDF, 19 MB

- MS Word, 101 MB
I rarely encounter it in Europe (although it happened to me in rural England), seems to be mostly US. Probably because speed limits on many small roads are the same as on larger roads and local residents drive at the same speed (which Google uses to calculate trip time).

This is a pre-release not a final one. But running npm update -g seems to install the 5.7.0 pre-release, due to a second bug, so some people will still hit the filesystem permissions bug in practice, even if they don't try to explicitly install this specific release.

I'm on Venlafaxine (300mg/day). Previously I tried Amitriptyline, and Citalopram, both of which did not suit me, so I pulled myself off them... each time the depression and anxiety returned.

Although I am fairly happy on Venlafaxine (it stopped me killing myself, so that's a plus), I'd like to get off it at some point as the side affects are quite annoying. Can I ask you how you feel you were 'cured' and are there any resources I can look at? Thanks.
It gets even better if the guard beam is a different frequency than the power delivery beam as the glitter could be transparent enough to the guard beam, but not transparent to the main beam.

They also don’t seem to be addressing the problem of the solar panel getting dirty/scratched and becoming more reflective. This is a much harder problem to solve correctly than a simple guard beam.

It's revolutionary like garbage collection was so in the late '90s and functional programming in 2010s: every decade a popular language or library reinvents sth. from two decades ago and it's revolution and unicorns.

Is the purpose of AI to sell sugar water?
Sadly the biggest problems with Electron are not yet solved:

1) There is no way to separate the Electron engine from your app, so you have to bundle Chrome and Node with each app.

2) Electron has an autoUpdater API, but since Electron doesn't solve the installation/updates problem e2e (packager + installer + updates server) it's really a half baked solution. This is specially bad in Windows since Squirrel for Windows is in my experience a disaster.

I have a number of Electron apps in production, internally and for our customers, and for our next desktop project we won't be using Electron.

The idea of using web technologies for the UI is still very valid IMO, but considering the 2 previous problems it's way less of a headache to just make our own native wrapper in C# and Swift (sorry Linux) and finally distribute the app via the official stores. At least for our use case.

I have a graduate degree in computer science and know some graph theory, but I really liked this. I thought it was interesting, reminded me of a lot of theory, and taught me some more.

I really appreciated the voice and tone. I am very surprised to see people who did not appreciate it and took the time to write how much they didn't like it. (Which is their right).

I am writing this only to let the original author know that there is an audience for this kind of "breezy" explanation.
I have only a very cursory look at Electron, but I find two things problematic: Lack of support for legacy systems, and the complicated build process of apps built with Electron, most can't successfully build unless you download a ton of stuff from npm. The kind of place where I am with many many older machines, never connected to the internet, Electron hardly makes any sense.

I took a class Sociology class in college called "Killing". Not a single time did we once ever talk about "authoritative" or "legitimate" killings of any sort. It turned out that this class was specifically meant for 'Criminal Justice' majors, people who were going on to be police officers and prosecutors. We didn't ever talk about war, the death penalty, genocide, eugenics, abortion, differential reproductive success, famine, none of it. The whole class was about homicide.

I was disturbed and appalled.

I'm not saying it's "okay". All speech should be protected from the government banning it. If conservatives don't like the policies on Internet forums, they are welcome to start their own.

If you can find studies showing - that controlling for all other variables - that white males are being discriminated against and that it is caused by discrimination, I'm all eyes.

Just like I said about the wage gap between men and women. Most of the studies I've seen reported even by places with a more liberal bent is that the wage gap can in large part be attributed to women choosing less demanding careers that allow them to spend more time taking care of kids. It's not being caused by disctimination.

Can you show from studies that the outcomes you described are being caused by discrimination?
I was sent to the ER a while ago. I spent several hours there, mostly waiting in between test results. After a while I got really thirsty. But they wouldn't let me drink until a doctor cleared me for drinking. This went on for several more hours, at which point I ended up dehydrated. They gave me an IV bag to rehydrate. The cynic in me suspects they routinely tell people they can't drink water simply so they can charge for IV bags.
