>If they don't get treatment, were they ever properly diagnosed?

If they had trouble quitting, such as withdrawal symptoms, and only managed to do so after hard attempts, then they don't really need to be diagnosed.

Other than that, the line between alcoholism and drinking too much is really blurry, if it exists at all. Some people manage to function perfectly and be OK while drinking heavily throughout their lives, and are not considered by others or consider themselves alcoholics.

Btw: "One of the most interesting findings, as far as I'm concerned, was that among remitted alcoholics (link is external) the average amount of drinking was around 1.3 drinks per day with a lot of variability, a little higher than that of moderate drinkers (0.8 drinks per day) but lower than that of heavy drinkers (4.0 drinks per day). I see this as a little more proof that people who met criteria for alcoholism at one point don't necessarily abstain forever and don't necessarily continue to have drinking problems (per Moderation Management (link is external), spontaneous remission (link is external), or some other means of stopping their alcoholic drinking)."

What's interesting is dozens of message on HackerNews and nobody links to any type of studies or evaluation of Elon's work, just repeating is selling point that because the tunnel is smaller, it will be cheaper. Public transportation and cost is a very well studied topic internationally (outside the US) and we can't just assume that for a fact. Actually, boring is actually not the most expensive part of building a subway. Even this idea of saving 10x the amount of money, actually just works when you compare with other US subway construction projects. Close to 10x saving has already been achieved in Spain and in South Korea, and surprise, it didn't need some new fancy technology.

Slightly confusing title, but this is about drugs for other conditions that can include causing depression as a side-effect. Not the percentage that are taking anti-depressants.

A little bit of a vicious circle... 1.) You have symptoms of conditions that are exacerbated by depression. 2.) Buy drugs to treat those symptoms 3.) Drugs exacerbate depression 4.) Get anti-depressants to combat depression 4.) Anti-depressants have deleterious side-effects in other areas 5.) Goto 1

Clickbait headline. Not article refers drugs which may have some correlative relationship with depression (e.g. side effects may include), not drugs associated with treatment of depression.
Public transport scales much better than private transport. The single lane for buses in the Lincoln Tunnel carries more people across the Hudson River than all the other road crossings combined. The NEC tunnels outpaces even that.

A single rail line at 26 trains/hour can carry around 20-25,000 people per hour. A highway traffic line carries about 2,000 cars per hour, or 2,000 people per hour if it's SOV. Personal rapid transit systems have been demonstrated to carry about 7,000 people per hour.

The only way to scale transit to highly dense areas is to minimize the amount of space each person has to themselves. SOV cars are horribly, horribly inefficient uses of space; standing-room-only subway cars are very efficient uses of space.

Jslinux-deobfuscated: JSLinux rewritten to be human readable
Oh my god, this is both terrifying and could one day prove to be the most valuable comment I've seen on HN.

I love MySQL, but the fact that they didn't make utf8mb4 the default for mysqldump (instead of utf8), when they created utf8mb4 for database use... is one of the most irresponsible and negligent pieces of engineering I've seen in a long time, considering the amount of data worldwide backed up with mysqldump.

The fact that a program designed solely to back up databases would default to silent corruption like this is mind-boggling. At least they've fixed this in the future for MySQL 8.0.
> Second, we already have a perfectly fine train to O'Hare!

No way man. I used to commute from cumberland stop to downtown, I would be physically exhausted by the time I got to my stop 1 hr later. 1 hr on CTA is very different from 1 hr on metra, the seats are so cramped, you cannot open your laptop, constant pee smell, so many stop-starts take a toll on your body. Current CTA cars don't allow for people travelling to ohare with even one suitcase, there is no place to put your suitcase.

If the commute was 12 minutes, I can imagine so many people with families will move out of the city to enjoy more space out northwest. I would definitely consider moving out near ohare if commute was 12 minutes to downtown. I can only imagine this will bring down rents/ housing prices in the city. I will go downtown to enjoy an evening if the commute was only 12 mins. This is a game changer in my book not ' marginal improvement'.
That doesn't get us any closer, unless we stretch the idea of a Von Neumann probe to it's limits and include life seeding. Also we're a long ways away from anything near the scale required even surviving a trip to space much less actually living there.
Aren't tunnels the size that they are to allow evacuation during emergencies and or to lower the pressure wave forming in front of a fast moving train (i.e. reduce drag)?
Worst case scenario, they rush to break ground, bore half the tunnel, and Musk's financial house of cards collapses, now leaving us with another Chicago Spire sized mess underground.

I see that they're claiming there's no risk for the city, and that is a very nice claim. It's also a naïve one.

This is a curious issue, clearly this is a problem. Having 1/3 of your population depressed is IMO near a crises. However, how would a government or a body of people act to fix this? Aiding people with tax breaks may not even be touching the issue due to the nature of depression.

Yeah, the idea that the thief would put it back was kind of a stretch.
That was somewhat my first thought - "Why not just upgrade the Blue Line to a 4 track system so they can run express trains on it?"

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they could halve the El service's time from the loop to O'Hare by having a train that only has stops at major connection points - Clark & Lake, (maybe) Logan Square, Jefferson Park, Cumberland, and O'Hare.

But, of course, the Blue Line runs down the middle of I-90 between Jefferson Park and Cumberland, so there's probably not really any room to expand to a 4-track system.
> I shorted (a very small amount) from about $320 down to about $270. That's when Elon had his very standoffish and defiant earnings call.

It's pretty dangerous to short high flying stocks like TSLA in a major bull market. Especially when most of the shares are owned by Musk and his institutional backers. It's not intuitive, but highly shorted stocks like TSLA in a bull market is a recipe for a significant price rise to burn the shorts and steal their money.

> Elon promises they won't need to raise capital

He's been saying that for a while and he keeps raising capital and diluting the shareholders.

> If he's right, great.

I suspect TSLA's recent layoffs are to work some accounting magic and show "profits" in the coming quarters. If so, it'll get big pops come earnings.

> But I'm not betting on it one way or the other.

In the long term, I'd watch oil prices and FED rates. If energy prices stay relatively low, if governments end subsidies and of course the FED decides to pop this bubble, I could see TSLA bankrupt in 5 - 10 years ( like it was in 2008 before the bailout ).

Maybe after a big price spike flushes the shorts, then it might be time to start averaging in short positions. But either way, it's a gamble.

Switching funding is different from removing funding. Right now, when a grad student's academic expenses are covered by their work for a specific professor, the professor can revoke that grant - firing them from their work, and also taking away the money that is paying for their grad school (and probably paying their rent as well). If the student is independently wealthy or willing to take on massive additional loans, they might stay in school. More likely, they are forced to drop out or switch programs.

Not to say switching funding to the department is a solution, but a professor's power over the funding is definitely a significant problem and source of great risk for students who are being sexually harassed by their professors.

Two ways I'm aware of. If your time at the coffee shop is regular (arrive at 3:15 because that's when your break is from work) they can place you with other regulars (you go there with your wife every day after work, you get dark roast and she gets a tea). Second if you're a black hole of privacy features and everyone else around you is not... well you get identified that way. Like herd immunity there is a risk if your behavior makes you an outlier.

Imagine for a moment though that they can't serve you ads directly. I wonder if anyone has done research into saturating adds in a coffee shop for all the patrons? Everyone sees the same add for the Dallas Cowboys and triggers a conversation about football. Now you didn't see the add but everyone around you is talking about football.

Citi Wants Analysts to Add Python to List of Languages on Resume
I can confirm I ran into this issue this year with AWS Aurora Mysql which definitely does the wrong thing by default. Basically the only reason we use mysql at this point is that aurora mysql works fine with t2.small.db and posgresql requires bigger instances somehow and is thus way more expensive to run. These days, I definitely prefer postgresql if I can get away with using that. I've also been eyeing cockroach db for a while. Their transactions are serializable by default and work in a clustered multi master & sharded setup is intriguing to me. Aurora updates still involve down time because you always have a single point of failure in the form of an active master.

And yet some of them got the surgeries and some didn’t, so it’s unclear if the control was adequate.
> if the big cost of subways is wide-diameter tunnels, experimenting with narrow subways is worthwhile.

It's not. The tunnels generally account for at best 1/3 the cost of a subway project, and even then, the cost of the tunnel that's variable per diameter is an even smaller fraction (since you're sticking a lot of other stuff in the tunnels). The big money sinks tend to be the underground stations. Overall, moving to a smaller diameter tunnel might save you around 10%, and you'd probably eat up much of those savings with rolling stock incompatibility issues.

I'm sure there are civil engineering issues I haven't thought of, but it seems like there would be a lot less tunnel to bore if they take the existing line that already goes from downtown to O'Hare and just convert it from being partially underground to being completely underground.
Reading news on a website that you cannot choose what you want to read? It is a stupid idea.
Business travelers would pay a lot more than $10. They already do pay a lot more to avoid taking the train. During peak times the Blue Line to Ohare takes more than 40 minutes. Also the ride is fairly unpleasant.

I moved from Amsterdam to Boulder, CO. The tech ecosystem is amazing here. It's crazy how many tech companies are in a tiny city with ~100k people. You just walk down the street and it's Nest, Google, Github, JumpCloud, SolidFire, Logrhythm, VictorOps and hundreds of smaller startups. Great ecosystem. People are friendly and welcoming. It's amazing, except the internet. It's expensive, unreliable, and slowwwww.
Nice trick.

What I do is console.log('MyVariable',MyVariable,'MyOtherVariable',MyOtherVariable);

When writing it I simply copy the variable, "paste twice" and then "wrap with quotation marks".

That one is pretty nice because you can add ,'\n' to have a new line. console.log('MyVariable',MyVariable,'\n','MyOtherVariable',MyOtherVariable);
Boulder has a population of about 110,000 people [1]. Given "the estimated cost of the entire network is around $140 million" [2], the per-capita cost of this network comes to $1,300.

A middle income family in the US usually has insurance that covers just about any specialist they want to see. MD Anderson, likely the best cancer institute in the world, accepts almost everyone's insurance (and also does about $100,000,000 of free work for those without).

The only people really limited in who they can see are those on public insurance like state coverage Medicaid for the poor or federal Medicare for the elderly. Those programs usually only pay a percentage of market value, and thus many doctors won't take them because they often lose money on the transaction.

America is vast. My opinion is local FTTH networks will eventually be interconnected wirelessly, either point-to-point or by bouncing off LEO satellites. Sometimes, letting infrastructure roll out organically is the sounder solution.
Tons, salaries are growing quickly as well. Comparable to NYC and higher than almost anywhere in the US. Just not at the SF levels yet.
Nitpick: Loop to O'Hare is only $2.50. It's just the return trip that costs $5.

I'd probably keep using the El for my own purposes, but I could see business travelers liking this option. They're already taking cabs, which charge more like $30 or $40 to get downtown (IIRC) and can probably take as much as an hour to make the trip if traffic is bad.
