Depression is weird in that it can be both.

You can be depressed due to specific problems... and you can be depressed because your brain sucks. The latter is something that's nice to just get rid of, somehow.
Where can I read about the costs / month?
One would assume however, that given the choice between

1) guy who lied to investors, still made them money (ie. Shkreli)

2) guy who lied to investors, lost 90% of their money (for example, ironically, Clinton's son in law [2], who has lost more money than the GDP of about 70 countries, and yet [3] happened)

They would have a strong preference for 2). But the SEC is a HUGE example of selective justice. Harsh "correct" treatment for whomever offends the elite, just for insulting and rejecting them (Shkreli IS an idiot, VERY publicly rejecting and insulting one of the elites WHILE she was running an election for president AND giving her an excuse ("threatening her") to send the law after him), or just by being poor. But nothing ever gets done about members of the elite, even if they're very low level.

And I get it, what Mr. Mezvinsky did was probably in a panic, and it was political decisions of someone else that did him in, nothing he could have done (as I'm sure is true for 90%+ of criminals of course, it never seems to count as an excuse). And it did do serious damage to his career. But he should be in prison, and owe hundreds of millions of dollars to people.

The issue I have with that is, if you or I, or probably anyone who may read this did what he did, we'd be locked in a maximum security prison for 40+ years, as well as being destitute.

How it works for people who are residing abroad for extended period of time.

From your exceptions list:

16. Routine medical examinations,

This surely can't compare to a full service mid-tier insurance of equal price. Other expat insurance do cover 2-3 checkups a year with conditions on checkup venue and price.

36. products that can be purchased without a doctor's prescription.

When a necessary off the counter drug is being prescribed by a doctor, will it not be covered? How this works in countries where you can buy pretty much anything off the counter, sans opiates?

41. Charges exceeding usual, reasonable and customary.

Specific limits? Especially want to know it for countries like China where where the difference in between public hospital - basic private clinic - and in a hospital that is up to international standards is like 8-10 times

More specific language for hospital stay and follow-up is needed. Say you broke a leg. You got released from hospital, but have to come for follow ups, remove the cast and sutures. Both did cost like $100 to me in Shanghai with 150 for the price of visit itself, which is more than I would've paid in Canada. Will follow ups be subject to outpatient visit limits?

My feel is that this more of an extended travel insurance, rather than a dedicated expat insurance that will allow for: a. you to remain in the country if you get in a moderately serious medical situation (on a level of appendectomy, complicated fracture treatment) and cover follow up care, b. cover your regular medical expenses

People generally know how to fall and not hit their head, and when they do their body softens the impact. Not such much with scooters and bikes, where you can literally go head first.

There are risk factors, then there is absurd. Racing drivers drive a lot faster than road vehicles, they also have minimal creature comfort protection like airbags because the car has to be light. They have roll cages however that you can thump your head on.

I suppose we could all walk around with goggles because y'know, someone might poke their eye put.
It's helluva more completable then any VR project Mozilla is going to try. It will be another Firefox phone project.

And you don't have to repeat 20 years of Firefox to complete Firefox, a lot of it were dead-ends like XUL (themed GTK would do), a lot of it were non-essential features like Pocket and a lot of it were rewrites and mistakes that they won't have to repeat and like you said being written in Rust should speed things along. Lastly, I don't care if Servo is released standalone or if Firefox gets replaced by Servo like the ship of Theseus, all I care about is browser that is less explodable, otherwise I'll continue on Chrome.

Hi Sarah, thanks for answering questions. It's great to see pricing upfront!

Could help me clarify my principal residence? I was actually looking to buy insurance a few weeks back, but not knowing the answer to this questions stopped me and I didn't hear back from the insurance company when I asked them.

"Your principal residence where you receive regular mail"

I used to live in country A, where I have a forwarding address for most of my mail. But I don't live or have health insurance there.

I'm currently in country B but will leave soon and travel to various other countries. I want to buy health insurance for after leaving country B.

What should be my principal residence?
Ask HN: Need advice Please help
I recently joined a very well established startup( 2 weeks before). The work culture is very stressful and people there work on weekends and do overtime. There is now work life balance. But work is good and there is learning also. I lowballed offer so my pay is not equivalent to others even my experience is more. They are hiring more people which is unnecessary. I think they know about their culture and creating backup plan.

Recently I got confirmation from one of best MNC. The life will be slow paced and I get too much time for myself. Work there will be not so exciting. What should I do?

I am so confused about choice. Please help.
How very odd for me to find this on HN this evening. I'm on "day 2" of my once a week sleep fast, which means things are a bit surreal to begin with.

For each of the last seven weeks, I stay awake from Thursday morning until my "regular" bedtime hour Friday evening.

I do this because it actually seems to be an effective way to avoid falling into a hole of anhedonia and "stuck-ness." I am hip to many of the cognitive tricks of depression, and can deal, kind of--I am utterly unable to deal with the physical listlessness and absence of drive that comes with it.

Skipping sleep on a set schedule seems to work for me. At first I didn't think I could keep it up, and I was concerned by potential safety hazards. My concerns are justified, as I am pretty loopy by Friday afternoon, or around the 32 hour mark.

Of all the esoteric treatments for my mood, this is perhaps the only real success except for Yoga (BKS-style Ashtanga).

I have a feeling I might receive some benefit from ascetic practices in general; and will experiment with caloric restriction, e.g. in future months.

I have no idea if I should expect the effects of this practice to remain pronounced, and my experience seems to differ somewhat from that described in the article.

I sure hope I continue to benefit, because I don't respond well to any of the usual methodologies. Also, I don't feel comfortable enough in the onions to do a proper Ketamine trial.

edit: some glaring issues with words
I'd say counterpoint requires the melodies to be on more-or-less equal footing, which doesn't really happen in this clip. (I'm sure it happens way more often in jazz, but I'm not an avid listener.) In any case, you definitely won't be hearing the kinds of crazy thematic transformations that Bach uses in his fugues.

I didn't mean to imply that our music is unequivocally less advanced than Bach's — we've certainly acquired musical tools over the years that Bach would never have dreamed of! — but I also don't believe that his music should be viewed as a mere archeological layer in music history. It's still alive, it still resonates with modern audiences, and it still uses techniques that are rarely seen even today. We can still profit tremendously from it.

She can certainly denounce the outcome of a negotiation process that wasn't complete when she said that, or even when she left office as Secretary of State. The agreement drafted in 2015 and signed in 2016 may simply not reflect the thing she was talking about in 2012.

> If the validation is /required/ after every operation

The only thing that is required is that the data be valid, anything else would be UB. I don't know of any properly implemented text processing instruction which would make valid text invalid, and thus there are almost no operations which would require validation.

The only point at which you'd need validation (aside from bytes to text) is when you're trying to play tricky bugger and do text processing via non-text instruction for performance gains.

> a lot of processing must happen on the underlying storage after EVERY operation to ensure it is still valid.

Only if your storage is insane and does not understand the concept of text e.g. mysql or files. And then yes, I would certainly want whatever garbage these output to be checked every damn time before somebody tells me "yeah it's text just trust me". In fact that's more or less how every language with an actual concept of text separate from bytes/arbitrary data treats files.

> If the validation is deferred

If the validation is deferred you need to check at runtime before each text-processing instruction if it's working on valid text or not, and if that is put in the hand of developers (to avoid paying the cost for every instruction)… we know how "just check them" null pointers end up.
This brings back a lot of memories. We used to use Geany at the faculty where I taught Introduction to programming.

Maybe. But at this level of hype, I think that sort of niche success means people can't really call what's going on today the "early stages" of anything. Instead today would more be the bubble before the crash.

The ViewMaster is a fine example there. It's a neat novelty technology! I loved mine when I was a kid. People still love them today. Is it successful? Sure. Do millions of people own them? Definitely. But in retrospect the DoD purchase of 100k viewers doesn't seem like the early stages of anything.

Or think of satellite phones. The Iridium program was massively hyped, and it was a technical success. But commercially it never took off. Satellite phones are still available today, and there are circa a million subscribers. Was the 1990s hype the "early stages"? Again, in retrospect I'd say no.

So sure, domination isn't necessary for success. But I think future domination is necessary to retroactively justify the hype and investment of our current era.
What this article told: "It is much more our collective decisions that matter than individual decisions" is common sense but an inconvenient truth is never well received and often simply not listen at all.

I was baffled in the early 80' when France subsidized Diesel engines, then convinced EU that it was a sensible decision. At that time there were people that did not hesitate to tell that breathing Diesel exhaust gases was harmless!

The code in the example asks for a top-level array of length (uint) -1 with all elements initialized to 1. Overcommit would never help, because where this blows up is not in running the program, but in compiling it.

Even if that weren't true, the only way overcommit ever helps is if you don't initialize or otherwise touch the memory you allocate.

I'm not sure what happens if you try to write zeroes in overcommit allocated memory, but I would bet it breaks because it'll pagefault and linux will allocate it.
If you were insufflating it, you had a very ambiguous dose and were not using it under the care of a physician such as discussed by the article; not to discount your experience, which is somewhat similar to mine, but readers should know that it is very different from what the article is discussing, which is a very specific dose given over a specific period of time by IV by a medical doctor, under his/her supervision.
Kind of makes sense if you look at it as "(collective) self employment", in so far as minimum wages don't apply to self-employed and so on.

Then you get to this parallel in laissez faire market economy, where low end service jobs are routinely undercut using single-client subcontractors who are self-employed only in name. Interesting to see how very different paths can lead to very similar results.

All of these versions are correct in theory, and the Go example in here is because Go is easily readable as a lingua franca. This whole post can be easily translated to other languages, including ones that do tail call optimization.

Also note that, despite Go having no TCO, the author has nonetheless managed to get a huge improvement over the naïve case by using proper tail recursion.

> Green acknowledges the quandary. “You can detect a certain ambivalence about corporate crime,” he says. “You can see people wondering, ‘Why on Earth are you investigating blue chip, listed companies? Don’t we need those?’ ..."

This isn't a quandary: No, we don't need corrupt companies. Corrupt blue-chip financial companies rob people and benefit themselves. The loss of the rule of law would reduce returns in markets and reduce liquidity by scaring away investors. Corrupt blue-chip financial companies cause financial crises.
It’s really too easy to tap the “I’m not driving” button. We have a global cell-phone-use-while-driving epidemic going on that’s taking way too many innocent lives. I wish tech companies would start sharing phone use data while driving. That’s when people will start to care about the lives of others and the rule of law, the moment they see their premiums going up things will get better rather quickly.

> So customers are skilled enough to check the (webpacked together with other stuff and minified) JS code running in their browser before they run it?

Checking code before it runs is possible. What is much easier is watching the network traffic on the web browser and examining it for sensitive material. It's an order of magnitude better to know that a security breach has _just_ happened than to find out much later, possibly when that information is being leveraged against you.

> spearfish

Almost all significant criminal activity leaves some trace. The buyer, by nature, has more trust in the seller because the buyer must pick up a package a specific location in a date range. The seller would be the most significant market players (spearfish targets), but give up less information in each transaction. The best way to attack would be watching for user mistakes (gps meta-data), social engineering, and zero days.
> According to Zamagni, in the wake of a 1971 law that exempted co-ops from certain kinds of banking limitations, Coop was able to raise a lot of money in small amounts from many, many members. Coop became the Italian retail leader in part because it could tap its already sizable membership base for the loans it needed to expand.

In my opinion, we are truly shooting ourselves in the foot by giving banks a monopoly on financing.

Credit is the blood in the body economic, and by making banks an accessory to every credit transaction we greatly reduce its flow through the economy.
Wait it out a bit?
When the lower activity phase kicks in you can start looking for another job: you say it is a well established startup (so you having it in the cv won’t hurt) and also that you are learning stuff.

So if I can keep up with the current work rythm keep on, then move on.

(Also, why do you think slowing down a bit will be a problem for you?)
In the sense that it's my subjectivity that is at play here, such as Stallman, such as Green.

Interesting to see, how perceptions differ when you're from the place. I've experienced this too when progressives from the US at home praise certain German policies as the way to go, yet they never seem to put the same effort into researching the local criticism as they put to in taking the positive claims at face-value.

I'm a fan of co-ops, but gave up on the idea of replacing the private sector with it. If there's a market for them, they can compete easily (usually through quality). I'm inclined to see them as better agents for social welfare programs [1].

I'd like to hear from the author why they focus on some (in foreign eyes) romantic region in Italy and don't look at the dryer examples of large-scale co-ops that exist throughout the rest of Europe:

Germany's and Switzerland's biggest retailers are co-ops (Rewe, Edeka and Migros, Coop). Italy's biggest retailer is also a co-op. German co-op retail-banks claim 20% market share. Austria's Reiffeisen Bank is the country's third largest bank. The world's biggest sugar-producer Südzucker is a co-op. The list of old co-ops that have scaled over time is long and studying them I think would provide much needed insight if we are to claim the "advancedness" of co-ops.

Specifically all the scandals that have popped-up, like the "co-op-Scandal" of the late 1980s, one of Germany's biggest cases of financial fraud.

[1] For example don't let the city/state build cheap housing, rather subsidize housing co-ops. Once you do that, you get political entanglement in return and in general the imbalance of the private-sector being marginalized. But I prefer that anytime over government housing. Germany is full of both (co-ops and city-run housing, with the latter being usually run-down and the former trumping median private-sector housing while being 30%++ cheaper).
Ok, so this is one possible thing to try when one has depression. Who is keeping a list of all things to try, and where does this experiment fit in that list?
