I have anecdotally experienced this, among other more measurable negative outcomes of therapy. My experience was in America, which as I understand has a similar psychology industry to most European countries, albeit the extra double dose of exceptionalism, rigidity, and economic depravity one would expect.

Misdiagnosis was the worst part of my experience, but not the beginning or the end. Diagnoses are naturally a double edged sword and some therapists avoid them altogether, but it seems a clear mistake to focus on this conflict.

Bureaucracy notwithstanding, a lot of the reason for diagnoses is that the suffering seek closure. I declare however that a lot of the reason for the mental health field is that the citizens of a suffering society seek closure. The therapist delivers that closure in the form of: “It’s you.” Whether this contributes something wholly productive to that person’s mental health is surely circumstantial. For me, it was a disaster.

I’m not comfortable making similarly broad assertions about therapy itself, but in my experience, it was just me opening up to someone who didn’t open up to me. Having a 3rd party to resolve disputes is not any new invention so couple therapy and similar should probably be considered separately. As for individual therapy, I have been inable to map the process by which what we call therapy today evolved from what was psychoanalysis. My fear is that it was painfully basic and painfully stupid. Can someone fill me in?

Some of my friends are in the mental health field and a couple of them are very open minded, willing to discuss these things. Our conversations led me to make a vow that I will never visit another mental health professional for as long as I live. Being no stranger to the history and other less contempory criticisms of psychology, the experience motivated me to learn more about the industry of psychology in America. I think the issues are strikingly congruent with contextual issues in the structures that empower it. In the US, this would be law enforcement, healthcare, academia, public education, the economy. In a sum, I concluded that capitalism is simply not as fit to address mental health problems as it is to create them.
Visualizing the Cryptoassets Demography
Freshly mined coins have a premium because they are clean (i.e. you are 100% sure they haven't been robbed before, which can create problems) and untraceable (i.e. there's no way to link them to the original assets used to purchase the miners).

Other than that, a person might not have access to the equivalent volume of BTC but have easy access to energy/miners. Additionally, depending on how you predict hash rate and BTC price to evolve, mining might have a better ROI.

I have seen his statement of offense document. In fact I linked to it in my own post. The only crime listed in it is "18 U.S.C. §1001 (False Statements)". It's true that the contents of his lies relate to the collusion investigation, but still, there is no underlying crime charged or pleaded guilty to that relates to the 2016 election.
I'm giving up privacy but I'm not agreeing to my likeness being used for profit. If someone uses my likeness for profit - say an artistic photograph - without my consent I can sue for damages. Mass facial recognition is similar because they sell the data and link it to other data, thus making other data more valuable. Without my face this value wouldn't be added, therefore they need to compensate me for it.

One of the coffee chains I use has stoppers to keep the coffee from sloshing out of the sipping hole in the lid while I'm driving the coffee to the office.

The other one does not offer stoppers. So I have to improvise with either wooden stirrers or plastic (for now) straws. The wooden stirrers don't fill the sipping hole entirely but they do enough to the movement of the coffee that I don't have to worry about coffee sloshing out. But they make the coffee taste like wood. So I use a plastic straw. At first I took their advice and did not drink through the straw. But if the coffee has cooled sufficiently to be sipped carelessly, it can be sipped through a straw.

Here's an idea. An autoclave, IV hardware, and coffee sold to the public in pouches. The hardware is reused with the help of the autoclave.

Personally I have no doubt that many US persons (R.S. is probably one of them) sought the aid of Russia to elect Trump. They thought that Hillary was corrupt or whatever and Russia could unmask her. The fact that Russia did it, to them is irrelevant, the "truth" was revealed. I am also certain that the end didn't justify the means in this case, USA is right to through the kitchen sink at the people involved...we have elections every 2-4 years and a message should be sent. (USA did the same is not a moral equivalent to me)

> What if the host executing the script had access to some intranet site with sensitive data? Would I be able to do a network import of such a URL, load it as raw text, and provide that as a header to another import?

Yes, a local import would be able to access an intranet site and re-export that information via custom headers supplied to another import. This is allowed because it falls under trusting local imports. Local imports have access to environment variables and your local filesystem, too, which are equally sensitive, which is why they need to be trusted.

This rule is called the "referential transparency" check, which can be summed up as:

* Only environment variables, absolute paths, and home-anchored paths classify as "local" imports

* Only local imports can retrieve other local imports

* URLs can import relative paths, but they are relative to the URL, not relative to your local filesystem

The reason it's called the "referential transparency" check is because this security restriction also leads to the nice property that import system is referentially transparent. That means that every import evaluates to the same result no matter you import it from. For example, if you have a directory of Dhall expressions that refer to each other and you rehost them on a file server the language guarantees that they still behave the same whether you import them locally or you import them via their hosted URLs.

Also, thanks! :)
There are subtleties in how the term "yak shaving" is used that aren't quite captured by that definition.

I wouldn't call it yak shaving to review a help file for accuracy.

My characteristic example of yak shaving would be, "I want to add a radio button (mutually exclusive pick-one option) to this form, but the framework's docs don't say how, so I'll implement it with the checkbox list and require only one to be checked, so I look up how to enforce input validation, but that requires installing an extra module in the build, which then installs a different version of one dependency we're already using, which the framework doesn't like, so I need to install another extension that lets you use two different versions of the same library in the build, but has an occasional bug..."

Those steps are necessary in the sense that the current system forces you to do them, but (like technical debt), they're completely artificial steps that shouldn't be necessary (in that sense) to begin with.
Sure. It's called windowed registers and you have one instruction each to move the window right/left.

So if I get this right: the stack is limited in size, and certain "frequent use" routines were labeled as "near" while others with less frequent use were labeled as "far" and there was a dynamic way to keep frequent ones in memory?
The filter newsfeed complaints are important because they come from content creators.

Like I said above, I feel they have made it worse by adding more and more features. They added video, and that was cool. They added messaging, which that was handy. They successfully copied Snapchat, and that was a plus, I guess. They added a location map, OK. Tagging people’s faces in photos... live video with endless notifications... and now IGTV, which is heavily promoted despite being very different than the original app. It’s definitely what I would call feature and mission creep. My opinion is that Instagram was good and successful in the first place because it simple, like Twitter. It appears to me their intention is to replace the old Facebook product with Instagram, probably because younger people don’t use Facebook much. I would guess this is partially because FB is so cluttered and full of unnecessary and annoying features. That’s the direction I see the Instagram app heading in, which is not what their audience wants.
Ah concurrents.

Your latent passions are very likely non-specific, an affinity for particular facets of your lifestyle that resonate with you; not some specific regiment of what your business (as employee or otherwise) actually does.

So no, it doesn't predestine you down a particular career path where any deviation will leave you miserable. Your passions can apply very broadly.
It really is.

As a relatively new user, I would follow a lot of, lets say, good looking folks. I quickly realized that it had a huge detrimental effect on my self perception and image. Now I mostly follow friends and people I know, and maybe a few politicians but very few celebrities and such.

Correct, TIPs will keep pace with inflation. Until you pay income taxes on the interest they earned. Then it's not even close. Also, you're putting a lot of trust in the governments calculation of CPI. What makes today's calculation better than the calculation used in the 80s?

The thing about London and other old cities is that no one decided. The layout grew up over centuries in an organic manner, well before automobiles. More modern cities that experienced the majority of their growth in the age of automobiles also grew during the age of centralized urban planning.
Glenfarclas and Glendronach are are both great alternatives to Macallan. Glendronach is a bit too sweet for my taste though and since Glenfarclas is much more affordable (at least here in Germany) I always recommend that one first.
Indeed it is mentioned. I wrote the comment because repeating the check in the kernel on a user provided value is what distinguishes futexes from a condvar. Of course muted+condvar+int is not a replacement if you're implementing pthreads, but it's also much less efficient than futexes if you're implementing a synchronization primitive not provided by pthreads.

(The most common use of futexes that I have seen outside glibc is to implement binary semaphores. Binary semaphores can be a lighter-weight alternative to condition variables when only a single thread can ever wait on an event).
It's super frustrating. My mother has ruined several matches this year by emailing me results before I see them on the stream.
No. Note the missing `n`.
Indeed, that's a bit silly. WE are calling these things 'broadcast', while most implementations are really unicast. This works really great for things like netflix, where you can start watching whatever you want, independently.

But in this case we really want actual broadcasts. Talk about square pegs and round holes...
There are many ways to assess app quality, and there are also many different things to which Instagram’s growth could be ascribed.

>"If you talk about the next FIFA World Cup or next Winter Olympics I think we will have a 1.5 second latency," Mohite says. "But getting it to zero is going to take another two to three more years of time."

We know there is a roughly 5 to 6 seconds delay from Real life to TV Broadcast. ( Or may be from Betting company to TV Broadcast ) [1]. Which should have been enough time for OTT to catch up to OTA. Assuming if they could allow OTT to have 1.5 second head start of OTA.

And to be honest I am very much surprised how unprepared all these OTT players were ( If you live in a country that was well prepared and offer low latency streaming, please forgive me ). As if they just discover 30+ sec delay in OTT delivery is going to be a big problem in World Cup. And this isn't as complicated as a Low Latency Live Streaming to Worldwide audience which requires much more complicated Edge and POP measurement and design, they are basically streaming to audience within their broadcasting right which is all regional.

I have a hard time understanding why we cant do sub 8 seconds delay delivery today ( Compared to TV, not real life ). I think this is mostly due to manager and marketing department decide to throw in OTT as an added features for their customers to enjoy / upsell their package in the last minutes without fully considering, investing and testing their tech. We should have been aiming for 1.5 sec this World Cup. Not Next.

P.S - I do agree with another comment about OTA broadcast. I just wish our phone could receive those signal without much compromise. Instead it seems the world is moving towards IP based everything.

Is there something similar to designing scalable front-end systems and going into deep discussions about how certain companies resolve similar issues at scale? I'd be interested if there is a resource like that out there. Everything out there tailored to systems design and architecture are entrenched in backend components.
I've been using walmart.com occasionally and honestly it reminds me of how Amazon used to be: A smaller selection but no weird spammy cruft. Amazon makes a lot of money on sketchy 3rd parties. Also no "premium" membership ripoff (ie prime). You still have to use amazon for reviews though.
> Obviously, antitrust laws are among the many things I know nothing about, but it still difficult for me to understand how they can allow facebook, instagram and whatsapp to be one corporation.

Amazon has a bad counterfeit problem. The way they co-mingle stock is crazy. You can't even trust reviews because the review might be describing a completely different product.

"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."

It seems like a no-brainer that an enemy force (Russia in this instance) would want to disarm the people they plan to attack/control.

The OP asked what I'd expect from a Russian Agent as President, and that's what I'd expect one of the first steps to be. I _wouldn't_ expect a russian agent who became president of the U.S. to fight for the 2nd Amendment/arming of citizens and to push for the EU to increase their military spending.

Sure, it could happen, but I wouldn't expect it.

> Its a remnant from a time when the US was a collection of states instead of a single country.

This is stated as fact, but it's begging the question, of course, because the tension described is exactly what we're talking about. The United States still are a collection of states, to varying degrees, and the degrees are exactly what's under scrutiny here.

That's not a remnant from another time; it's the central conflict, still relevant today.
Do you have any skills?
The problem will not be solved by you and me deleting Facebook, Instagram or Google. The biggest problem is your friends who share your name and number with these social apps without thinking and without your approval. And you can’t even ask these big social tech companies to delete it. That’s the really scary thing in all this!
Perhaps coming up with the exact details of a complex law is the beyond the pale of a simple, half-implemented internet forum.

Making the process to concede special privilege to those with needs beyond others or those with certain disabilities in a dignified way seems like a righteous use of time to write correctly and fairly to me.
Even if there was one, you'd still be saving registers unnecessarily. If you only clobber one register in a procedure there's no need to save and restore all of them.
AIUI HIPAA really isn't that much different from European regulations regarding medical data, so no, that argument does not seem to hold any water.
This is mainly a psychological trick: people are more disciplined about paying a mortgage under threat of foreclosure than they are about actually investing the savings from renting. But if you do actually invest the savings, they come out pretty close. There are a lot of costs to owning a home beyond the principal payment.
Honestly, the features that Facebook added isn't really innovative. I'm sure they must have a really nice, highly optimized backend and such but if SNAP can stay independent and IPO, I'm pretty sure Instagram could have managed to as well.

If you think about it, SNAP would be doing a lot better if Facebook hadn't bolted on the stories feature on Instagram. The Facebook version of stories really really sucks.

All in hindsight of course. But it seems like a shame, a real missed opportunity to create value and stay independent at the same time.
That's not true in some ways, TV requires a huge number of transmitters and is limited to a few channels, where the internet has a virtually infinite number of channels.

Even now it's digital here in the UK I believe each of the 5(?) muxes can only support tens of channel each.

Airwaves TV might scale easily but can only send a proportionally small amount of information, but the internet send a vastly larger amount of data per second, but struggles when everyone wants the same data at once.
Whatever happened to multicast over the general internet? Seems like the perfect use case for it. Let the hardware do the copying instead of unicasting TCP connections or whatever it is they do.
Last 2 presidents got elected thanks to Facebook. Next one will be thanks to Instagram. Ofcourse with the Russians or whoever factory producing fake pics. It's happening in other countries already.

We already have a "space force" - the Air Force - which was spun out of the Army. It's not odd to spin out the Space Force from the Air Force, if necessary.

Because other nations want to or are in the process of weaponizing space.

The first time someone knocks out one of our GPS satellites, you'll be asking, "why don't we have a Space Force to protect against this sort of thing?"

Thanks for posting that; I haven't had a good reason to look at it in quite a while. It makes sense that they're adding those features as they all exist in SQL DBMS's because they're a need.
Like many other behemoth US companies, Amazon has taken dubious shortcuts to its position as leader... Anti-employment wage suppression in its distribution and shipping, wilfully facilitating counterfeit product sales, regional tax breaks, and perhaps the biggest multiplier - the stock market and its ability to allow leverage upon leverage.

We are seeing an excellent example of modern American capitalism.
For me Instagram Stories made Instagram worse :(

"what makes you excited about new military spending?"

I am guessing he is excited about the fact that they are focusing on space research.

The original Russian "rockets" were just ICBM stages. There are hundreds of examples of military research boosting tech, especially when it comes to medicine and spaceflight.

> A great example imho is Blender. Features are added constantly but because the software is modular it doesn't have any impact on the overall performance.

As someone who used to hack on Blender all I can say is it's a big ball of inter-dependent modules all with interlocking dependencies. The only thing that really keeps it manageable is the strict adherence to MVC which, I suppose, does make it modular.
