I have been to China three times, for a total of about a year spent there thank you very much.

I come from an English spring country but have spent extensive time in various other countries where I have family. Thanks for being a total dick whilst knowing nothing about me.

That being irrelevant though I suggest you re-read the post I was replying to. And then the honourable thing to do would be apologise to me.
> Lots of professionals with great titles and affiliations steer people down a totally incorrect path.

Not knowingly, and they're expert on the field. There's a few exceptions, but those people are not 100% in the head. Diederik Stapel [1] being a recent example in social psychology.

The chance that you have a sitter without a clue is much higher. Especially because those are usually "friendz". The chance a professional knows better than a self-proclaimed expert is simply too high to discount all professionals.

> Drug companies shoulder the rep of being cold evil capitalists. Psychiatrists also become extremely wealthy as part of this medical complex, and get to keep a positive reputation. It reminds me of ticketmaster essentially being paid to shoulder negative PR for excessive ticket fees which are often largely passed on to performers.

In The Netherlands, you first try the drugs which are most likely to solve your problem but also you need to consider what gets reimbursed by insurance. Insurance also wants you to go for cheapest generic brand if possible (if patents expired, and the drug is known to work for your ailment). Example: something like Concerta doesn't get reimbursed because Ritalin exists and is considered the generic form. Even though the yo-yo effect is more severe with Ritalin.

Another example, I had the option of going for a SSRI or a SSRI plus antipsychotics. The former has a good track record for people with autism; the latter combo better but it also has more impact. Regular blood checks, and basic insurance doesn't cover the antipsychotics.

As for the positive reputation, when I went for my autism diagnosis I had an anamnesis from an asshole of a psychiatrist. He was working there temporary because they fired their regular psychiatrist very recently. I don't know exactly why, but I do know it was directly related to his functioning as a psychiatrist.

Ticketmaster problem is different (and offtopic though I don't mind analogies). It can be solved by putting a cap by law on how much percentage profit (e.g. 25%) second hand market may earn. That does require political willpower and enforcement of such regulation.

> "It's because they're all on antidepressants!"

Well, in the same period I have lived next to Copenhagen for three years (in Malmö) and this does not match my experience of the city nor the country in general in the slightest.

Perhaps you visited near the end of winter, or when spring just started and the sun hadn't fully returned? The long winters can suck out the energy of anyone near the end of them, but during every other part of the year the Danes I know are a very cheerful bunch.

More likely though, I think it's a different attitude towards smiling itself. In the US it seems like much more of a social thing: aside from spontaneous, genuine smiles, there is also smiling as part of how you present yourselves to others, almost like a form of politeness. That doesn't apply to European cultures.

Is there some other collusion story making the rounds? You're too vague.
I disagree with the conclusion. I own the domain name sweet.id and it has catch-all email.

Apparently some people (all women so far) found my domain name cute, they use it to register services (usually Twitter).

Maybe they think "Email" field in the signup form akin to "Username", something you create instead of something you already have.
Of course, most programming for kids has been just that for decades, with a few notable exceptions (Sesame Street, Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, others probably). The programs themselves when I was a kid typically took the form of a 22 minute toy advertisement, interspersed with more advertising. Of course, they didn’t have data on my particular viewing habits and a psych profile, but honestly it still worked pretty well.

The best bet if you care about your kid is probably to try and curate yourself. That’s definitely doable if you’re well-off in a two parent home with one child at a time, but how many families does that describe on average?

Article is wrong in several ways. Like correcting someone's grammar, one should get the facts straight first. So many here have also got it wrong, so it's not super surprising but those posters here haven't gone and published a righteous article making wrong conclusions.

First, this is all on Netflix. Regardless of what any provider does, Netflix has to protect its own accounts and the obvious way to do that is to verify an email address before taking payment info. It could do that in a specific way (per-provider, understanding how gmail specifically treats addresses) but treating it in a generic way seem better and insulates them from changes to gmail or other providers.

Now, gmail certainly could do things that bring attention to the quirks of their own platform, but that doesn't take any of the onus off of Netflix or any other service to DTRT themselves.

The flaws in the article:

1. You cannot have an infinite number of addresses. per RFC 5321 par 4.5.3.1.1, only 64 chars are allowed in the mailbox name.

2. Further, unless the mailbox is quoted, eg "mailbox", then dots may not be at the beginning or the end, and consecutive dots are not allowed. (RFC 5322, par 3.4.1 and 3.2.3). The article doesn't mention the need for quoting in its description of "infinite" addressing. This is due to the use of dots to atomize the text around it, for domain name parsing. It happens to be used in the local-part for some reasons, I suppose because dot isn't otherwise allowed and they didn't want to create another named grammar item.

3. There is no requirement for plus or dot to be non-unique elements. RFC 5233 defines plus addressing, but this only applies to systems that care to treat the plus in this special way. There's no general requirement that foo+bar and foo+baz are both subaddresses of the foo mailbox; they could instead be 2 distinct addresses. The specific relevance is that Netflix should treat plus just like dot -- don't treat it specially.

>For a $30 phone, it was incredibly fast and smooth.

No it wasn't. As the previous owner of 2 windows phones the platform was anything but fast or smooth, but it sure did like resuming a lot. You should upload a video of your phone on YouTube so that we can count all of the frame drops and stutters. And those slow superfluous animations they used still couldn't mask all of the hitches.

>The tile interface worked well (particularly information dense relative to notification dots/counts on icons we're seeing now), the onscreen keyboard is the best I've ever used (even to this day), and the way updates were delivered (direct from Microsoft, not the network operator or OEM) was a breath of fresh air from Android.

Firmware updates aren't provided by Microsoft and can only be updated by the OEM.

>As anyone and everyone will tell you, lack of apps killed it. In no small part because Google was using their market position to squish it (yes, I appreciate the irony). Google didn't produce Windows Phone apps, which they're entitled to not do, but then Microsoft tried to make apps for Google's services[0] which Google also shut down.

Windows phone supporters should really stop trying to blame Google for the incompetence of Microsoft. Microsoft controlled their own fate and they alone are responsible for its demise. From their constant reboots, their abandonment of the previous OS, the constant changes to the development and tooling that did nothing but confuse and frustrate developers and they even had the arrogance to tell OEM's what they could and could not do with their OS.

If there's anything Windows phone should be remembered for it's how it systematically destroyed Nokia's device division like a cancer.
Have you redeemed your options? Do you know vesting rate is on adjusted (logarithmic) and not gross (cumulative)? Do you know you have to give notice before you redeem them?

I don't know how big a deal the harness really is. Even getting out of a helicopter underwater with a regular 4 or 5 point harness with a single-point twist buckle after a crash, especially if the vehicle isn't perfectly vertical, if there's debris or gear inside, etc. is going to be very difficult for anyone who hasn't trained in it. The military has simulators (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POsWGHfHg4M) which are way simplified over a real crash, and even that is hard for basically professionals in peak fitness.

Anti depressants along with support from my family and therapist saved my life. Prior to taking anti depressants I would get into moods so depressed that I would have significant chest pain and headaches. The headaches were so severe that without any consideration I almost jumped from the roof of one my school buildings.

Within the first week of taking anti depressants (wellbutrin, I later switched to prozac) I would at random moments of the day begin to remember funny memories. I would be walking to my dorm from class and remember a funny gag from the simpsons and break into a stupid grin.

After two years on anti depressants I was able to stop taking them. I was able to do this by accepting and understanding that while I may have real reasons to be sad, the underlying reason that I was dwelling on these negative thoughts was my brain chemistry. Once I accepted this I was able to justify cheaper less harmful ways of medicating my depression. Whenever I began to feel depressed I would simply go to my tv and start watching episodes of `It's always sunny in philadelphia` or whatever comedy made me happy

I think the worst mistake people with depression make is reinforcing their sadness by listening to sad music, watching sad movies or reading sad books when in fact they should be doing the opposite. They also allow their depression to become part of their identity.
But the author reset the scammer's password, denying them access to their fake account. The scam doesn't seem to work unless Netflix allows you to enter a new credit card number /without/ resetting the password of the scammer's account.
That is a good idea. Sending money through voice is very natural.

Many reasons. Primarily because of security and control of my information. Secondly because services like these tend to be short-lived and unreliable, if i host it myself i can trust it's there when i need it. And i hadn't considered the uploading time issue mentioned in a previous comment, but that is actually a very good point that self-hosting would solve as well.

Nope, it's an everyone young people under 25 (or so) thing.

The payments holy trinity is Venmo, Tab, and Splitwise.

Tab is for splitting specific checks with easy itemization and multi-person selection + easy tip calculations, connects with Venmo. Mobile app only.

Splitwise is great for running tabs, traveling in groups, or complex splits. Keeps track of who paid and who split and even simplifies to the fewest number of payments, of course also done by Venmo. Great desktop site with a good mobile app as well.

The only thing I'm waiting for is to import a Tab bill into Splitwise!

Poor people tend to have high time preference and high loss aversion; both of those work against mining because the breakeven point is both long (relative to hyperinflation) and highly uncertain.

Buying stable cash (USD or EUR) seems like a better choice and AFAIK it's similarly illegal as mining.

Speaking of plus addressing, too bad gmail doesn't have a feature that automatically adds a label of the "detail part" of a plussed address, without having to create the label and a specific filter for it. That'd make it so much easier to create vendor-specific addresses.

1. ignore all mail coming to the base (no plus) address that isn't also whitelisted/greylisted (too bad gmail doesn't support greylisting)

2. give out foo+vendor to any vendor, or foo+date to throwaway time limited mail. now you can see how +vendor gets distributed and decide to block all such mail easily.

3. stop accepting the time-limited mail after some period. eg

+2018 stop accepting after 2/2019
+201803 stop accepting after 4/2018
+20180407 stop accepting after 4/8/2018

boom, magic filters.

You get an annual "bonus" as well. It's not a bonus and it's not called that. It's an advance on salary. It's the justification for your lower-compared-to-industry salary. It's null too if you're gone before the year is up.

So no, sir. Your facts are wrong.

Much worse, something that can't be compared. Anyone would prefer a newborn which is an external person that you provide care and watch grow. Sure it will keep you up but it also provides emotions to help fuel you past those weak moments. When you are internally off where you can't sleep the affect is different.

There was no sarcasm in my post. All of those companies really do intend to compete internationally one day. They might have some difficulty in the US, but there are plenty of countries that would be open to using their services. And theres no reason they cant apply social scores to their international users.

Edit: was it the part about momo that makes you think sarcasm? It wasnt.. if the chinese are ok with this scoring and see it as useful (or its important because it limits your career path, for example), I can see private companies building it into their apps to extend it... using it for dating, apartments, loans, etc. There's no reason a tool like this would be limited to government only uses if the people approve.

Apart from being literally the opposite of where I think statistics should be headed (i.e. I see the notion of "removal of 'complicated statistics knowledge'" to be more dangerous than helpful), I also had some practical feedback from watching the 12 minute intro video.

-Firstly, how does the visualization know the respective population or sample size from which the summary statistics and intervals are to be drawn?

- The demo used a pie chart to try to display summary stats and confidence intervals from the general social survey. Aside from professional statisticians general dislike of pie charts, you cannot plot confidence intervals in this way into a pie chart just by inserting 'more white space between the slices'. There's only 100% of the area of the circle that you've got to play with, so any attempt to increase the 'white space' between the slices necessarily warps the real estate remaining to represent each actual slice.

- Honestly, I see this tool likely to be used by people who participate in the practice of p-hacking, whether deliberately or not. The ability to throw lots of simple models quickly at lots of data mindlessly reporting some notion of statistical significance is dangerous. I'm assuming your stats are not (cannot) be adjusted in any fashion to implicate what you're really doing by using an automated model-building/reporting regime in this way (potentially running heaps of models on heaps of data until you find one that appears 'significant' based on a statistical test designed under the assumption that this is NOT what you're doing). No where did i see any application of train/test, sample/resample type methods to try to control for over-fitting in the prediction application or truly estimate how predictive/replicable such a technique would be in the real world.

While I appreciate the work done required to put something like this together (a lot of it looks like a gui interface to my own exploratory functions/scripts in R, for example), i genuinely believe this approach is more dangerous/likely to lead to false conclusions than helpful.
This story was all over. I think it is a lot like google being forced to not show clear pictures of us military bases or the white house (or lower resolution pics). Russia has them, China has them. Only the american people don't have them, and low grade terrorists maybe don't have them. But I'm in the american people group, and I am questioning how much security protection they get from this. I think things like access to these kinds of devices only for the "official govt" plus dozens of external actors really just keeps americans in the dark.

> A change that engineers have been asking for might seem ok, but in actuality would destroy margins or otherwise be detrimental to the company as a whole if you look at broader information that might not be available to the engineers

As someone who has been on both sides of this, the best advice I have for a manager in that situation is "if you say no, tell them why." As someone in a senior engineering role, to me, it's my responsibility to understand the forces at play with the product I'm developing, so that I can do my job. I accepted a long time ago that engineering is not just about being technically excellent, but also understanding how the product fits into the business. If the answer to engineering recommendations is just a flat "no", then that probably means that there's information that is keeping me from doing my job to my full capacity; I don't just throw out ideas without thinking about them, I take all of the facts that I have and come up with cost-effective solutions.
