Please, people, consider my advice: don't try to heal by yourself, look for medical help.

When I was a kid (7 years old), my mom got depressed being a teacher in public schools of Brazil. I took decades to understand what happened, and till now I don't understand by complete.

She was very religious and believed that she could heal by herself, using her faith. The result was that she got dived into a so strong depression (deep depression doctors called) that they friends just realized her problem when it aggravated, and she was observed having strange ideas and doing strange behaviors, like burning things. She was slowing entering into madness (I cry each time I remember this).

Depression was cured by doctors help, but the sequels of trying to "hack" or heal by herself...

Today she is not on depression anymore (she is not sad I mean), but has many sequels, all very difficult to treat and medicate, almost none improvements on this by decades. Strong headaches, labyrinthitis and other side effects all since this trauma. It's past 20 years already and it's not cured. Today, we don't have money to look for a good and paid doctor, and we are still trying the public hospitals of Brazil. I have a startup today, and I strive to monetize it, to be able to pay for high-quality treatments and travel with her to find good doctors and therapists despite her unprivileged location (small city), the kind of people that is really interested in deeply investigate the causes to heal her. I did not have concluded yet, if it's is so difficult and rare to threat it, or if we had just bad luck till now.

As many people with depression, she though on suicide many times during the old hard days, and her religiosity and beliefs stopped her and gave strength from doing that. The curious here is that at the same time her faith was one of the causes of aggravating of her problem, also saved her from doing an extreme action (suicide).
Exactly the point! FB is in the advertising business so we can go figure.
Why would anyone expect it to be free? Of course they'll charge fares. It important to remember that CTA fares don't cover the full cost of services, it also gets money from taxpayers. And building a new line would most likely involve an appropriation or maybe issuing bonds that get paid back over decades. For this, the city won't have to put out any money of its own, nor take any risk.

I am curious how they'll deal with the new line siphoning off revenue from the existing service. I assume that they'll negotiate this (maybe a share of revenue?), what the price will be, routing, etc.
He founded a single start-up when he was 19 that failed in its mission and was bought for a paltry sum (for YC, anyway). Other than that his experience in life and business consists primarily of having been born into affluence and all the privilege and advantage that brings.

It's so very Bay Area for someone like him to be president of a VC firm. His pre-YC resume wouldn't get most people past the resume filter in almost any other company, including a number that YC fund.

And most of his comments about business are not all that useful. They're exactly the sort of comments I'd expect from someone blessed with great luck and above average intellect but too little experience.

As a data point, it seems to be reasonably common for people to use both SQLite + <some other database> (eg PG).

Probably because they have different use cases that don't overlap too much. eg SQLite is great for single file info storage and passing around. The others - being competing multi user servers - don't do that. :)

This is good advice. Even if things aren't along far enough to even talk about a sell price, choose some portion of money that you think of as a small slice of that likely sell price, and ask for it as a deposit... before diligence.

There's a chance that this will drive away a potential acquirer, who may indicate that they are horribly offended by such a request.

That is a good thing. A company offended by the request to put down a slice of the money up front (before they get to see all your private details in diligence!), is likely either just shopping for information, o to be a big pain later in the process. A company who haggles about the deposit but agrees to pay something, likely is a serious buyer with whom you can reach a mutually agreeable outcome.
Understand that your compensation can take many possible forms. It's all up for negotiation. Don't hamstring yourself by assuming you must be paid in cash, or that the payment must all be upfront, etc. Consider the myriad other possible options and variables that you can tweak to get the the outcome you desire. If you can, talk to people who can help you ballpark what a reasonable level of compensation is for others at the company in roles similar to yours.

If the process goes far enough (i.e. you like the offer), get a lawyer. I got a lawyer when my company was acquired, and she was great. She'd seen similar deals in the past, and she worked very hard over the course of a month to look out for my interests. There are all sorts of little clauses in this type of paperwork that are negotiable and worth negotiating. In the end, her bill turned out to be something like $2,500, which was more than worth it. I was expecting 4-5x that.

The President is only indirectly elected by the country as a whole. Therefore, the president is highly incentivized to pander to a half-dozen or so states. And a few key voters within those states. It's exactly the same problem created by regionally-allocated representatives; the only difference is that the mechanism is just a little more opaque.

Because strong presidents drive policy-making, this difference ("a few key states" vs. "the country as a whole") definitely shows up in Congressional behavior.

A much simpler (and more plausible) solution to chapium's problem is simply getting rid of the electoral college.

London is a bit like this as well, most of the trains that come in from Outer London are commuter trains that go to a ring of termini around the centre, then you have to change onto the Underground.

They're trying to tackle it at the moment by setting up new lines that go through the centre, but start and end far out regionally, so to go north to south you don't have to interchange from one terminus to another. Thameslink and Crossrail are both part of this concept. The model comes from Paris, which has the RER network, separate from the subway.

You did not understand the question. OP requested a "hack", which is, by definition, an unverified claim, anecdote, well-meaning tip etc.

And anyway, your absolute faith in professionals is unwarranted.

Psychiatry and psychology remain largely unsupported by good science. There is no verified and widely-accepted predictive model of overall brain function.

Many therapists operate entirely on personal bias and superstition; at least one major university touts their M.Div. program as a preferred gateway to clinical psychology.

The evidence in support of pharmacological treatment is polluted by the fact that almost all large-scale clinical studies of psychoactive drugs are underwritten by those who intend to profit from them. Double-blinding is not an absolute guarantee against manipulation if you fund multiple studies and simply drop the results you don't like.

Truly endogenous depression, meaning that which has no legitimate external factors underlying it, may be a mythical beast. All the drugs and therapy in the world will not resolve a bad situation, particularly when that bad situation happens to be a social norm like working at a meaningless job.

SSRIs may get you functional again, but is that really a positive outcome when all they are doing is revving you up to feel good about wasting your life as a corporate cog? Stimulating you to participate gamely in the destruction of the planet through mindless consumption? Convincing you to squeeze out more little consumers to propagate the system?

Evolution has not prepared animals to live in zoos; they often develop symptoms analogous to human depression. Neither has it prepared us to sit around all day in offices doing shit jobs for the primary enrichment of those at the top.

Here's my hack: if you find yourself depressed, have a look at your situation. It probably sucks. Get up, walk out, don't come back. But realize that you cannot easily escape our shitty system that constrains you to participate in economic slavery in order to afford basic shelter and minimal health care. Good luck.
You say that as if it changes it from days to weeks makes the situation better. The person you are responding to is correct in that the red line has a reputation that is well justified.
I'd push back against biotech/pharma/medical industry not really changing for 20 years. The advances of computation and biostatistics that leverage increasing computational power are huge waves to hit the industry. The field of pharmacoepidemiology, for instance, which uses computer programs to analyze big pharma data, that barely existed in 1998. Consider all the analysts and researchers using tools never even dreamed of in 1998, whether we're talking modeling of biological processes, advanced microscopy, advances in countless biological fields that make the process of manipulating cells much more easy. It's just not accurate to say the field hasn't changed for over 20 years.

Talk a walk around MIT 20 years ago and this year and there would be a MASSIVE build-out of biotech companies. That alone is evidence to refute your claim.
The page you linked: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q Is employed wages which is why it went up from 2007 to 2009. It's really not measuring what you're describing.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/192398/employment-rate-i...

Employment rate in the United States from 1990 to 2017. 63% in 07 60% in 2017. So we still have not gotten back, and it's still down.

PS: On very long timescales employment rate is a poor metric, but over the short term it says a lot more about the economy than 'unemployment' rate or employed wages. It for example very clearly shows the last 2 recessions unlike employed wages.
Java 9 released last year changed the internal string representation to not be UTF-16 anymore Up until then characters took at least 2 bytes in Java. Of course the internal representation and what is written to IO streams are two things. UTF-8 has been supported pretty much from day 1 along with a whole range of legacy encodings that used to be common.

Using UTF-8 instead of UTF-16 internally is mostly a memory optimization and does not actually break any apis that I'm aware off (I'm sure there are corner cases, but am not aware of any issues here). Using UTF-16 was always somewhat valid in non western scripts where the most used characters would be represented using two bytes instead of just 1 like for most western scripts. But you are right it was a bit of a regrettable choice.

If you consider that, e.g. asians mix western script with their local script, it is a lot less clear cut. Throw things like html in the mix and you are looking at a lot of ascii with bits of asian script here and there.
Yes I understand that, but... what cases? The comment at the top of this thread states "if a professor criticizes a woman's paper, she might interpret that as an attack on her gender, even if it isn't" - but this sounds like pure speculation, not like a reference to any real known case. I mean...you can imagine all kinds of things, but you can't really counterbalance documented cases of harassments with imaginary cases. But apparently, people in this sub-thread are much more gravely concerned about these apparently imaginary cases of overly-sensitive women, rather than the very real documented cases of harassment.

People are fanatic about using tools written in a language they like. If people think that a program written in C will be faster than a program written in Python then it is a feature to them that may or may not be valid.

However modern languages have a lot of trade offs in deployment strategies that are just easier to say by stating the language.

Golang is normally fully statically compiled so getting this tool on a host requires nothing other than coping the completed binary. It often requires nothing at all from the system it is running on. This is an implied feature of the language.

C/C++ code can be that simple, but static binaries are not always possible. And then you require the libaries on the remote machine.

There is a good chance Python will be on a remote machine, but deployment could be complicated. Psql support requires the the libaries to be on that machine for example.

And if the tool was written in node, a ton dependencies and work would be required for a normal user to use it.

I agree that the language should not be a feature, but it is. Containers/snap/flatpak sorta help with this, but they are even more work for the user currently.
You're basically describing attaching an h1 to h2 adapter behind the existing QUIC to h2 adapter with HTTP/1 as the intermediary protocol, which is a simplification for both sides. Of course that will not be that complex. But the downside is this approach limits both protocols from reaching their full potential by having to operate at a higher level.
> How exactly is Latin-1 privileged in this regard?

Latin-1 is sufficient for languages which countries representing more than 50% of global GDP speak. It might not be fair but I’m not sure this is a question of fairness to begin with.
As the article notes - the Blue Line currently runs from the Loop directly to Ohare in about 40 minutes for $5 (though realistically more like 50 minutes). I am not sure how much more I would be willing to pay for the trip to only take 20 minutes... $10 at most?
It does matter to the user.

A Java based tool requires installation of a JVM and likely has a non-trivial startup time. A Python / Ruby tool requires a runtime and probably some kind of mucking with virtualenv or rvm to work properly. A Node.js tool would require (haha!) a Node runtime and crossing your fingers that the NPM dependencies for what you're going to use to connect to your database haven't been compromised since the last build.

A Go based tool would be statically compiled, start up quick, and not have any external dependencies.
>Second, we already have a perfectly fine train to O'Hare!

I wouldn't say that it's perfectly fine. The Blue Line to O'Hare has become notorious for it's overcrowding. I think the goal is to reduce some of that congestion to O'Hare and get people to stay at hotels in the city. I'm not convinced that it's worth it though.

> provide sufficiently large deficits to absorb the productive capacity of the modern economy

Are you serious? How about letting the productive capacity of the economy work for consumers rather than for politicians?

Of course I agree that there should be no bailouts for Wall Street firms, but I would also argue that the business cycle itself is induced by the lack of a sound money in the economy. Easy money tricks entrepreneurs into investing in long-term capital projects prematurely and causes malinvestment.

So Wall Street is not to blame for business cycles. It's the soft-money fiat system that causes so much economic calamity. When the Fed steps in to stop recessions, nobody asks why we had the boom that preceded the bust, which was fueled by the Fed itself.
Don't you need wide tunnels to fit normal trains, let alone high speed trains, because they operate on a higher gauge? I know in London the new Crossrail tunnels have been deliberately made a lot wider than the existing Underground tunnels, because that allows normal trains to run through it. The Underground trains are narrow-gauge light-rail.
I already use pgcli, written in Python, in conjunction with pspg to tabulate results. I can't imagine what Usql would offer above what is already available through pgcli. Could anyone comment?
Quicker version of the math:

Few people work 5 days or 40 hours every week of the year (for minimum wage earners, it's typically much messier than that, but as long as we're playing the "minimum wage earners reliably work 40 hours a week" game, we might as well play the "minimum wage earners get a few holidays and sick days" one too). So wage * 2000 is an easy and effective approximation of annual income.

Rent should be no more than 30% of monthly income, which is the same as 1/40 of annual income (which is how rental brokers quickly calculate how much salary earners can afford).

1/40 annual income = 1/40 * wage * 2000 = wage * 2000/40 = wage * 50.

So you shouldn't be putting more than 50 hours' worth of work into housing every month.
