>The drugs have helped millions of people ease depression and anxiety, and are widely regarded as milestones in psychiatric treatment.

History is littered with harmful, poorly-thought out "psychiatric treatments" that were widely regarded as milestones. Even if there are a tiny minority of people who's mental condition is so bad that scrambling their brain with drugs will lead to an "improvement", the widespread reliance on these drugs to treat the every-growing number of depressed and anxious people is not a good thing for individuals, or for society. This is especially true when it comes to young children, whose brains are being warped during the critical stages of development. Over a million children under 5 years old are being dosed with these mind-altering chemicals based on ridiculous ADHD or "defiance" disorders. Over ten million children under 17. Its very telling that the intelligentsia at the apex of society think that the answer to fixing our broken children is to drug them rather than to fix the broken society that they perpetuate.

Ask HN: What would you vote for on a blockchain-based e-vote?
True, but these aren’t conventionally poor but could basically include you and I (assuming you are in the vast majority of the population who relies on labor income and not tied to the ruling class) if we were wiped out by an economic calamity. This is because of how extreme Venezuela’s slide has been.

Secondly, hyperflation seems to incentivize this: even the median crypto currency is going to be a better bet than the nominal currency.
Absolutely - his proposed solution - disabling the dots-dont-matter feature and retiring them does nothing to stop this exact same attack vector instead employing the '+' feature that he admires and wishes to retain.

The attack goes like this:

* Hammer the Netflix signup form until you find a gmail.com address which is “already registered”. Let’s say you find the victim jameshfisher.

* Eve creates a Netflix account with address jameshfisher+netflix

* Sign up for free trial with a throwaway card number.

* After Netflix applies the “active card check”, Eve cancels the card.

* Wait for Netflix to bill the cancelled card. Then Netflix emails jameshfisher+netflix, going to jameshfisher's inbox, asking for a valid card.

* Hope Jim reads the email to jameshfisher+netflix, assumes it’s for his Netflix account backed by jameshfisher, then (follows a link in the email and) enters his card 1234.

* Eve changes the email for the Netflix account to eve@gmail.com, kicking Jim’s access to this account.

* Use Netflix free forever with Jim’s card 1234!

Either they're both security liabilities, and they should both be removed, or the problem lies elsewhere.
Most developers want to rewrite every app they meet. What they write as usually sales driven features. The system is the problem not human nature.
That is like saying that the right way to fix bugs is by conducting meetings to grill the programmer.

Clarke was actually diagnosed in 1962 (http://www.clarkefoundation.org/about-sir-arthur/). He developped complications in the 80s. He has lived in Sri Lanka since the 50s, which was probably not the best place for access to the brand-new vaccine that was just being invented at the same period.
Ask HN: Where have you registered your domains and why?
From business perspective, I am simply tired of $5.99 domain register fee that turns $59.99 a year later.

Then comes the security aspects, after all, the NS records are to be managed by the registrar.

So, kindly share where have you chosen to run your domains, and I am sure the community will benefit of hearing about a decent domain name service.
> why would Microsoft be at fault for supporting a platform that makes demonstrably poorer apps?

I have experience developing an app using a WebView, and I agree it is poor. However, it is a good compromise if:

- a team of one that has experience with HTML5. It is possible to develop an app for Apple, Google, and Windows Phone this way.

- a web first, mobile second app

- an app that is more about presenting information than entering data.

Same experience for me, and in fact I had the brain-zapping withdrawal symptoms while I was taking a steady dosage. The zapping happened with both Zoloft and Lexapro. It happened regularly many times per hour.

When asked to describe it, I tell people the zapping feels like my mind is lost for a fraction of a second. For that tiny moment I really think I'm completely non-functional, and the thought of this condition lasting for a non-trivial amount of time is frightening, although I've never heard of that happening.

Zoloft was beneficial for me, but not enough to outweigh the discomfort of the brain zapping.

>Apple certainly puts taxes in, but Apple never agreed to FRAND terms. Qualcomm did. That's a huge difference.

Nonsense, that's a completely red herring. There is nothing different about Qualcomm's or Apple's extortion-like rates. l Qualcomm can charge a percentage per device (or unit) if this is a widely accepted reasonable industry practice.

Further, FRAND has nothing whatsoever to do with the royalty base or rates. Standard Setting Organizations, SSO's, aren't in the business of setting rates or telling their members what their basis ought to be, in part for fear that it might cross paths with regional anti-trust regulators. The IEEE has broken the tradition recently, but it's very rare for SSO to do so. Likewise, courts or regulators rarely want to set rates either -- for they understand their limits in their understanding of technology and market. Where they were exceptions (eg, Moto vs Microsoft), the courts have used the similar set of standards industry uses to charge potential licensees.

Contrary to pro-Apple fanbois views, FRAND doesn't necessarily mean cheap or does it imply that Qualcomm's IPs are essentially public properties. It just means that they must be open and willing to license their IP portfolio in fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory manner to promote optimal interoperability and wide-adoption.
The opinion of the author is ridiculous.
What about someone use your email, without dots, to register as a netfix user?
I agree, in this case, you’re right on (and I have another comment saying as much) but couldn’t there be a UI that guides you safely through some of those dangers? I have yet to see anything close to one but I could imagine a system that would at least ask a few questions that would quickly disqualify a dataset or intended analysis for some use cases. Imagine, if you will, turbo-tax for (basic) statistical analyses.

As I said elsewhere, a simple interface doesn’t necessarily mean a correct outcome -
In short, most stats software is solving the wrong problem. Many (especially this one) make it easy to get an answer, right or wrong. I’d rather see them make it hard to get a wrong answer - or, perhaps, hard to get an answer when you’re using it wrong.
Oh, hmm thats kind of you. I understand that reaction. That probably sounded rather sad, so I reflected whilst writing this response.

First and foremost I have one very good friend (my partner!), and a rather good relation with my mother (my father passed away, alas). I consider my mother like a friend, who given her age needs me more and more and this will increase. Same with my mother-in-law. That's both OK, but also a burden of stress.

It appears difficult to become friends as you grow older compared to being young. I burned ships with my old friends because the relations were no longer mutual; no longer developmental ("stuck" or "grown different paths") or downright parasitic. Ironically, my last major friendship was my best friend wanting to use mushrooms with me at my place while I was no longer interested in recreational drugs. I was an avid gamer, but no longer have time to play games so all friends who I had who were into gaming I no longer have that in common with. That's a big blow in my social network and friendship list.

The gist is, I find individuals inherently boring and basically I don't want [new] friends; they're a hassle and nuisance. Friends are a distraction, just like this very forum. At best, they're interesting, like this forum. At worst, its annoying to waste a Sunday on a birthday (with mindless chit-chat, annoying opinionated people, eating crap I could better buy/cook myself, and travel time/cost), just like you can waste an Sunday on this forum. Heck, like Facebook, rather. OTOH, you reap what you sow. I still got like 100 movies to watch if not more, 20 books to read, etc.

My family and partner's friends and our newborn is more than enough. I need to focus on improving those connections first and foremost since my autism does put those relations under pressure both generally as well as incidentally more so. That plus integrating my autism diagnosis with my career which isn't easy in mid 30s. You could argue I'm not ready for it yet but I didn't start taking SSRIs to become more social. I do want to meet more people with autism, but that's out of self-interest, and a long-term project since right now I still feel overburdened due to the above (mostly our newborn).
Yes, there are advantages to being decoupled from the underlying framework, as you point out.

If you're a Ruby on Rails shop, Meteor is probably not for you.

But I think people under-appreciate Meteor's value proposition of not having to piece together multiple frameworks -- especially in JavaScript world, which seemingly produces a new framework every other day.
I don't understand this program. It states it is a statistics program but on the front page only test stated is " Shapiro-Wilk". I don't know how many here are familiar with statistics, but that is basically the hello-world thing for statistic tests. Also the pricing puts this program directly at the range of Graphpad's Prism, which is widely-used in academic fields other than the field of statistics, and quite intuitive.

Making good-looking figures nowadays is not a selling point anymore. If one's willing to script rather than clicking-the-mouse, Prism, Igor Pro, Origin Pro, Matlab (pricing from low to high) all can produce great figures and solid statistical test for people out of the statistics field. But nothing these days beats R for versatile of statistical tests.
I do the same thing, for the same reason. I haven't A/B tested both options or anything, but I know I've gotten spam where they stripped the "+" parameter.
They both have happy endings. In the book, the final chapter is about Alex starting to mature into an adult.

The book is also organized into three sections of seven chapters meant to represent the three phases of childhood and ending in chapter 21: adulthood. The movie was pretty close to the book it just left off the 21st chapter as did the American version of the book.

>Being better than Android is a low bar to clear.

I'd ask you to cite some examples of why Android is a "low bar to clear", but I doubt I'd get back anything of substance.

>Android was, and remains, a Frankenstein’s monster[1] which was hastily cobbled together at Google to capitalise on the new marked created by the iPhone before MS could lock them out of it.

Could you point to the Android github examples that support your claims that Android is a Frankenstein’s monster which was hastily cobbled together? You see, that's the nice thing about being an open source OS - you can actually see the source code and call out people for making ridiculous comments about things they have no idea of what they're talking about.

>In fact, if MS had brought WP 8 sometime in 2010, the story would be a lot different.

No it wouldn't have. It would have played out exactly the way it did.
To be fair, R isn't really that accessible to most social scientists. Heck, R isn't really that accessible to most programmers either. The tidyverse and R notebooks have definitely improved things by leaps and bounds, but R at its core is an unusual language. (I say this as a somewhat proficient R user) Its programmatic nature does aid in coming up with reproducible data analyses though.

SPSS has, shall we say, a less than savory reputation.

All this to say that there is a market for something much friendlier than R. R is used by pure statisticians, data scientists and the like, but most social scientists prefer Stata, which has pretty legit statistical routines as well as a point-and-click UI.
> A well functioning state needs to be a strong (sorry libertarians)... to take care of its citizens.

Libertarians are for a strong state capable of upholding the Law. What libertarians are against is a BIG state that goes beyond its role into the private sphere of its citizens (that's why we have constitutions and such systems to clearly define boundaries).
In this particular helicopter flight the doors were off, and it was a small helicopter.

I know someone who took Effexor, who went through one of the most harrowing experiences of her life trying to quit. Her doctor seemed vested in keeping her taking the drug (I personally suspect some kind of incentive to sell the drug but don’t have evidence to back that up.)

I can’t emphasize enough how serious these drugs are, and what a prison they can become.

I want to use virtual numbers to avoid the spammers. There have been plenty of companies that had pseudo dodgy signup (win a chance for a dream trip to somewhere) where you had to give up your phone number (supposedly so they could call you). Lots of time I get spam calls that claim I gave permission for them to call me. So a temporary forwarding number hides me. I use my google voice number for this and it does a good job of noticing lots of spammers (but not all).
Did you even develop for windows phone? Because it's like you have no idea of what the development process entailed or how frequently they changed it.
Well, they were enabled but you couldn't create new ones when I joined 7 years ago. I was under the impression they'd long since been retired at that point. Given the turnover there, ancient lore could have only been a year or two before that.

I had to jump through some hoops to get one of the accounts to test something I worked on with them.
I recently transferred my domains to Google Domains. I tried serveral registrars over the years (Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc), but was tired of them trying to upsell me on a bunch of stuff I didn't want, plus their cluttered UI. So far working great; straightforward interface, fair pricing.

I still use Cloudflare as my DNS provider, mostly for its additional features.

ps: disclaimer: I work at Google, but not on the Domains team, and no relationship other than as a personal customer.
You won't pay for it then since you know you don't have a Netflix account. In this case you have one and you mistakenly pay for theirs too.
Steven King got to write the screenplay for his own version of the shining in the form of a TV miniseries. It was so bad it was actually funny instead of being scary. I think it is safe to say here that history has proven Kubrick right on this particular point.

Good to have it, better not to need it.
Honestly, with the current state of stats teaching, they might be better off just avoiding the stats classes in most cases. I don't need yet another drone that tries to convince me I should make a business decision because of "statistical significance" but can't explain why I should care about statistical significance (p.s. I shouldn't).

You say this as if it were a bad thing but if SSRIs are as effective as exercise wouldn't that mean that they are very effective?

If you were to tell me a fat burning pill were no more effective than exercise I would start taking it.

Murray deserves more respect than Molyneux.

Atlas Rises patch brought a lot of much needed content and I'm really looking forward to their latest anounced update.

Peter's problem was that he didn't just release the game without all the promised features, he wouldn't even hang around to fix the bugs.

The "terrorists" argument always seems like a big red herring in these discussions. But it's an interesting point that if the government decides you are a "terrorist", which maybe they can do without you ever being convicted of anything, you can be shut out of much of society by being deprived of I.D.

On the other hand, somebody the government doesn't suspect can simply sign up for I.D. like anybody else and carry out an attack at their convenience.
