Sorry, but this bizarre. Psychotherapy is just one tool in the toolbox against treating mental illnesses. If there is evidence this drug helps treating mental illnesses, what's the reason not to use it? This is not some alternative medicine that is offered instead of or in addition to scientific practice. This is part of the usual treatment that involves psychotherapy, if it's useful. There is nothing inherently bad with drugs; you don't hesitate to use drugs when your liver chemistry breaks, why hesitate it when your brain chemistry breaks?
Thanks man, and I absolutely agree. Hopefully this can help serve as some inspiration for other things!

There is a big difference between decrepit, crumbling or rotting versus a clean tiny house with quality interior.
The ability to specify at a finer level of granularity than directories sounds wildly overcomplicated, to be honest. I'm not aware of any other language that works at that level either (maybe Python's import mechanism does let you tinker at that level, but it would be extremely niche). Also, I'm also a bit confused about how it can work even in C/C++; surely most compilers don't even have the capability of specifying header file locations on an individual level, as opposed to the classic -I switch (or /I for Visual Studio).

I've used generated header files (protobuf) with CMake and they work fine. Although I prefer to create them at configure time rather than build time, even though that's philosophically incorrect, just because that way I can see them in the generated IDE projects and they don't break autocomplete.

Depends on the subs you subscribe to. Reddit is as good as you make it to be.
the selfish gene
In most subs I'd say you're right. Niche subs can be really great though.
Yes. Of course, if you are living in the EU, you are stuck with that market :)

Please provide proof when making claims like this. Infowars/Alex Jones doesn't count, they were universally blacklisted.
Honestly, I love that people want more artsy experiences in their life. Growing up in the 80s, everything was about conforming and being the same. If you were a guy, you had to like sports and listen to Bruce Springsteen. If you liked art you were a "fag"; if you liked science you were a "nerd"; and if you were either of those you didn't have a place in society. My wife tells me it was similar for the girls, though they had some leeway on the art.

I get that Instagram in particular brings out the worst qualities of wanting to look cool or important or whatever. And I agree that's awful. But man I would have killed for some sort of immersive artistic space to explore when I was a kid.

I'll take this over hanging out at the mall buying things for no real purpose any day.
Instagram advertising was what finally drove me off the platform. An unstoppable tidal wave of poorly-targeted products including cheap sunglasses, bizarre "on-trend" t-shirts and other assorted crap by brands that sounded like they'd chosen their name from a random name generator. And the ads were just about every third image. Grim.

This is 5th most visited website in US and definitely one of the biggest in terms of raw text UGC.

You can find anything you want there if you look long enough.
I think that new banner is so much better than the old one, though.

"The Dawn of Day" by Nietzsche. It turned me into an atheist at the tender age of 15.
Reddit will continue to face decisions between their community and business goals, often with the community goals being ethically green and the business goals being ethically grey. I have every faith they will choose the business goals with every matter of consequence, which is why I want to ween myself off it.
I feel the same way about HN. Which makes me think maybe it isn't really Reddit or HN that are changing.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but this sounds like a miserable lifestyle to me.
I’d assume 200 per person (a lot lot of people weight more)

Basic possession is 25-50 a person, and if you want to have anything beyond an empty unfurnished trailer bed/batteries/activity gear/food/water is going to start to add up fast.

For me I could easily add 75lb of climbing gear, 50lb of snowboarding. Basic Solar panel is 20, batter another 15 and so on.
> Suicide isn't new or specific to humans

Self-destruction is found in non-humans, but mostly as a reaction to acute circumstances. I'm assume you are widening the scope of what is suicide to include these examples, but they seem different than relieve of existential suffering that is human suicide.
I've been thinking about this, too. If you have the right connections and can pull down a bunch of VC money year after year for your business it seems you could go your entire career without having to generate profit!
I just think it has to go both ways. I don't want my boss coming to me with a problem because I worked 7h 58m one day. On the flip side, I'm not going to send him a bill or count the minutes if I stay a few minutes late a different day.

I said it in another comment but it's being unflinchingly rigid that I think in a problem (in either direction).
Currently live in a 62 sqm (667 sqft) 2 bed flat with my wife and 18 mo. old daughter. Friends think of the place as huge.

We just bought a 52 square meter house, but we did it cash - no mortgage (just took the deposit we'd saved for a city home and looked outside the city instead). That's worth more to me than a lot of space. Though I might be cheating because there are some outbuildings which can hold washer/dryer and tools, etc.
>body is not flooded with stress chemicals like it is when the brain is not destroyed first and its blood remains inside.

I've heard both sides of this but have never actually seen any evidence. Some cultures, portions of China for example, believe the opposite - the more stressful death leads to more delicious meat.

I'm for the least stressful death for ethical reasons, but I'd be curious if there's any resources you've found that demonstrate for example your lactic acid point?

Maybe re-implemented SCTP, but this time it's usable.
Reddit is the only social media I use. Never used any other services at all. The only annoyance is the redesign. It completely sucks. Very much reminds of the digg 4.0 redesign before it died. I don't know why all these aggregation sites go to that look and feel but its very bad to use. Hope they don't abandon supporting the old design. That would definitely make scale back my time on there significantly.
Looked through your IG, very cool. Who/what are you using for internet access while on the road? I'm interested in trying to travel more when working remote but trying to make sure I end up with a decent connection each day seems like it could be challenging.
I wish I had planned everything better. Other than a loose floor plan and some components I knew I'd have (eg lithium batteries) I didn't plan much. It slowed the build and resulted in some areas that are suboptimal.

The main thing I'd change is using spray insulation instead of polyiso. Spray insulation would have taken a day, polyiso took me a month to cut out all the pieces and glue them up.
That's because you visit popular subreddits. Anything under <50k subscribers is good, <10k is great. (Mostly made up numbers, but you get the idea.)
Personally I'm rooting for the worst possible version of Article 13.

Feed the lawyers, starve the businesses. Make the starkest possible contrast between countries where the lobbyists win, and everyone else. Sometimes you need to get bitten to learn to avoid the snake.

The EU can be to copyright law what Brexit is to internationalism and free trade. A brutal, public, and visible example that completely fucks a major economic player, to the obvious benefit of its neighbors.

The Internet is global. It is much easier to move a digital company than a bricks-and-mortar one, and this would give ample incentive. We will continue connecting the world, continue progressing, and continue making great money doing it. And all the EU citizens will be shut out of that for as long as our government can keep its eyes shut.

Their eyes will open a lot faster under visible economic pain and international embarrassment than they would on the present course.
They need better terminology. "microworkers" sounds bad, like they're under-payed (they are).

Try "organic AI" or "incentivized crowdsourcing".
Instagram is the mall, now...
I agree that there are good aesthetic reasons to avoid digitization all together (or even just digitize prints). Color correction with scanned negatives can be a true nightmare if you want to preserve the look you would get with a traditional print.

Personally, I've always shared pictures primarily through the internet and so traditional printmaking has been less attractive.
The phone I (could) be typing this on, was made out of the earth, not from anything humans created. Anything with value is land that had labor applied to it.

The alternative to purchasing people for labor has been wages, which is giving back to a laborer the portion of their labor which is not stolen from them.
==Swedish white, non-Hispanic population: easily 90%+==

Not only is this contention wrong [1], it is completely arbitrary. Ethnicity isn't just how you want to draw lines to prove some point. Sweden has multiple ethnicities within what you call "Swedish white, non-Hispanic". This is observed, most obviously, through different dialects and cultures. Swedes that border Norway are different than Swedes that border Finland.

A similar piece from the NYT last year: "The Existential Void of the Pop-Up ‘Experience’", https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/26/arts/color-factory-museum...
"Metaphors We Live By" by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson changed how I thought about language and how I use it to orient myself in the world.

"Thinking in Systems: A Primer" by Donella Meadows changed how I approached designing/troubleshooting software systems as well as changed how I think about political policy decisions and their results.

"Object Thinking" by David West dramatically altered how I approach designing OO systems. I especially liked the chapter(s) where he used different real-world metaphors for designing systems. For example, asynchronous communication (email) is often more appropriate than synchronous communication (calling someone on the phone). Delegation of tasks without "micromanaging" (i.e tell don't ask).

"Ever Wonder Why?" by Thomas Sowell gave me an insight into some of the underpinnings of Conservative thought. I'd never had the opportunity to hear any of the arguments he brings up in college or in my own liberal social groups.
So what if we use our experiences and in-depth knowledge of a past protocol, take into account the flaws, and build something better? You say "re-implemented TCP" as if it's the only possible way to build a reliable packet protocol, and that it has no flaws, and we can't make any improvements to it.

TCP isn't alien technology we don't understand. We do understand it, and its limits, and its constraints, and that means we can build a better one next time.
Reddit has 230 staff (as of July 2017).

edit (removed wrong maths): $1.9m per month in staffing costs @ 230 employees/100K each. Although a reply below says the staff may have almost doubled and $100K may be a low guestimate for the area (inc. benefits, etc).

My question would be: Why does Reddit have 230+ staff? What do most of them do?
Great productivity blogs
But that's a separate problem. Figuring out how to prevent mental illness is obviously important, but figuring out how to help cure it when it does happen is important, too.

Suicidal ideation is by definition not healthy. You can argue the ethics of suicide (particularly assisted suicide, which I'm opposed to), but there is no situation where it's a good outcome. It can only ever be seen as the least worst outcome, and if we ever change our collective opinions on that I think we are far down a dark path to great evil.

There's a huge difference between considering suicide if you're terminally ill and in a lot of pain, vs. considering suicide because your life is not going well and you're really depressed, which is something that may be treatable, and I expect the vast majority of suicides are the latter and not the former. I personally know one such example.

As someone whose life has been affected by suicide, and almost affected much more seriously by a close call, I see suicide as the ultimate failure, and think we should be doing everything we can to help people escape from these ideas (and yes, I've done hard work to help someone who had these problems, and that person is definitely doing better, and enriching his own life and the lives of others because of it).

Our world is making us crazy and sick more than it should, so attack the problem at both ends. Figure out the causes and the cures and try to stop the first and accomplish the second.
This is a crazy revenue model. It is reminiscent of the dot com era when land grabs were a thing. But a lot has settled down since the fun days and it is not possible to get investors onboard with promises when there is a clear track record.

The track record does look okay:

There is continued growth in engagement. But still, shouldn't the actual product - the website - be built out by now with all the content coming from users, therefore not much of a business case for investment? How can they have this continually growing audience and not be making enough bucks to pay the bills and grow organically?
I would argue that “changing the way you think” doesn’t require the book to be factually accurate. The idea that external factors like geographical starting conditions can have a huge impact and shape things as complex as human culture is a powerful one, regardless of the conclusions drawn in the book.

If anything, the way it has been challenged and shown to be flawed is a lesson on and of itself - that complex systems have emergent properties, and that those starting conditions are not as deterministic as it might appear at first blush.
MDMA is fascinatingly effective. You get some hours of pure bliss, all your fears gone and replaced by compassion.

It should absolutely be treated as something very special - it 'just works'.
Using it too often would make it loose it's magic (on a physical level too)

Then again most additions seem to happen with more subtle substances.
MDMA is a way too powerful experience to do it casually.
There's an important distinction between "taking a break" (e.g. playing foosball for a few minutes) and true downtime (I wouldn't be doing work right now even if I wanted to, because I don't have anything to do).
Most people don't like having suicidal urges, and given the choice of ending life vs making life more enjoyable (without the urge to die), would probably pick the latter.

You can get WW (werkeloosheidswet - unemployment law) for 24 months, like you say you need a sufficient history of employment. This is based on 70% of the minimum (full-time) wage, i.e. 70% of 1615.80 = 1131 euros/month.

Minimum wage is on the top of the linked pdf (download link here [1]).

Sorry if I was unclear, just looking for some ballpark numbers for the sake of the argument.

Hum, right, parts of TLS could be offloaded. Now will the TLS protocol will continue to evolve ? And will QUIC follow ?

And you could offload UDP, TLS but not QUIC itself. Unless you're BigBuck Company and offload to FPGAs competition can't afford. Could happen.

It's a gap that might close, but right now, to me, it is a notable competitive advantage.
I get the impression that most tiny are in rural locations (certainly judging by the photos), in that kind of area there isn't the density to support the things you might want to offload, ie coffee shops for meeting people, laundrettes, restaurants etc. In a city to you could cope much more easily with less space.

I also suspect tiny homes probably are a bit too tiny. I'm not sure if the extreme tinyness in a political statement, or just social signalling that its a choice, not that they can't afford a bigger house. I would predict though that if the movement has legs, tiny houses will get much less tiny.
They have paid site-wide moderators. I've been banned many times by them, even for posts in very niche subs, and I've also been in many subs that were banned, so I imagine they have a few paid mods like that.
I run my own consulting firm and I offer a money-back guarantee.

I had one very short-term client who was dissatisfied with our service in spite of very clear deliverables. Nonetheless, I didn't hesitate for one second to give them back their money.

In simply offering to give them their money back, they refused the check and completely shifted their mentality towards us. They became advocates for us and then said they appreciated our work.

I've never had to give money back with a money-back guarantee and it has only strengthened our brand.
I think the counter to that is the idea that human life is inherently valuable and doesn't need to be justified.

Marvin Harris' theories of material anthropology. I can't one-line the meaning behind his findings and theories, because it's wonderfully complex.

It's an explanation that makes sense out of otherwise nonsensical human habits of cultures (tribal, ancient and modern).

If you're curious and want to read something enjoyable—he's a decent writer—check out "Cows, Pigs, Wars and Witches" (preferably one of the later editions), or for something a little denser: "Cannibals and Kings".

Ever since the site redesign in May, popularity has been falling (source: Alexa Top Websites): https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/reddit.com

Steps to an Ecology of Mind by Gregory Bateson. Almost convinced my wife and me to get dolphin tattoos ; read the book and you will understand.

The Rational Optimist by Matt Ridley.

Presents a compelling case for being optimistic that economic growth really will keep making the world continually better on average, and in particular explores the reasons why the contrary position is often so prevalent in the media, popular opinion etc.

Regardless of whether you agree with the thesis of the book per se it's a fascinating read which will definitely give you a lot of new perspective on debates on big topics - things that come up often on HN such as AI, climate change, international relations etc. I thoroughly recommend it.
Have not read the book. Could you elaborate?

Here is what I have figured out regarding this topic.

1) most times what really matters to you is impossible to measure. When you drill down to core motivation/drives.

E.g how does one measure “happiness”, relationship quality, friendship, quality of life, learning etc.

2) Due to 1. we measure a proxy for the outcome we seek.

3) if we get this proxy wrong, and we optimise/improve it we have no effect on the outcome. Maybe we even have the opposite effect.

4) We often import/take-on other peoples definitions/proxy metrics for the outcome. Not our own.

Think it was Russel Ackoff who said
“rather do the right things wrong then the wrong things right”

In other words. Start with what you actually value/want and make sure the metric will get you there.
It amazes me that a fourteen year old company with a mature business model requires equity financing. I'll never really understand how tech companies work, I guess.
Yeah, that's my impression too, you need to pat them very very dry, which might take time if you sear them directly from e.g. a sous vide bag. I still use it to sear single steaks, because the fire alarm is a bit overzealous and the searzall creates less smoke than a Cast Iron skillet.
It's great to see what this project has developed into.
If you want tighter control, I.M. ketamine using a micron filter is the way to go.
This book changed my worldview too. For me more the idea that the world is how you perceive it, that events and objects have more than one aspect, property or interpretation.
I've picked up a few gigs on Mechanical Turk. You pick up the tasks that are worth your time (that you are qualified for). If you don't like the microtask for the price offered move onto the next one.

If the entity offering the microtasks (gig) don't see enough interest in their tasks, they can raise the bid.

I think that's extremely fair. Let the market dictate the price per task. How do you know what the right price should be?
The Selfish Gene by Dawkins was very influential on me.

Another was Nineteen Eighty Four by Orwell.

I'd also cite The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand as having influenced me, although I read it when I was older and found that it mostly reinforced ideas that I was already sympathetic towards. Similar situation with Atlas Shrugged, also by Rand.

I could probably also call out The Soul of a New Machine by Kidder, as being a primary influence that pushed me in the direction of getting involved with computers.
personally, I'd rather have something that's smaller and better looking than large and ugly.
Given that it's on the Michelin website, it may interest you to know that Japan is tied for 1st for number of restaurants with 3 Michelin stars.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Michelin_3-star_restau...

It has a stunning 25 restaurants. For a population of 126 million. The runner up, USA, has 15 restaurants with twice the population.

As a frequent traveler Japan, I can say from personal experience, it is hard to find a bad meal in Japan.
I did it all at ATX Hackerspace, a makerspace with most of the tools I used. The only tools I bought myself were a good drill / driver set, a jigsaw, and some smaller specialty tools. I carry all of my tools on the bus.
I have an idea for Reddit if they want to make money: I know your site is open source, but it is not an easy setup. The mixture between forum, customizable subreddits, and almost chat-like threading is tailor made for intra-company communication. We all feel the pain of ephemeral chat and closed-recipient email to do business. Employees need a way to show off, communicate, post neat things, customize their department's subreddit, etc. But you can't keep the Reddit branding because it is unprofessional.

So...take Reddit, make it easier to install on-prem, charge for this enterprise version, and change the name and default look of this on-prem version to distance itself from the traditional Reddit. Then watch the money roll in as I and others would pay to have more than just a forum (sorry discourse).
Me too, but The Fountainhead struck me more.

Reading Rand’s essays both made me appreciate her views more and made me cautious to accept her epistemology as a whole. I don’t consider myself an Objectivist, but I still consider her work to be a strong influence on my life.
