There is a both a large and strong evidence base for the usage of ECT in cases of severe, treatment resistant depression. Many aspects of modern medicine can be made to sound barbaric with the right framing; those who disparage ECT are not so quick to characterise chemotherapy as “poison by any other name” or dialysis a “vampiric ball and chain”.

By the time ECT is on the table, every other option is exhausted and the sufferer has been through multiple acute hospitalisations for suicidal ideation, if not unsuccessful attempts.

It is certainly fair to say the effect is not always permanent, that maintenance courses are a burden, and that their long-term efficacy does not justify the risks of the procedure itself or the anaesthesia it requires. Nonetheless, for someone who has been depressed for many years, plagued by crippling ennui and a nihilistic view of existence not even Schopenhauer’s grimmest passages can match, any respite is welcome. To deny them that option, with full knowledge of the risks, is to deny them agency.
Argh, it pains me that even professionals cannot get the word "peruse" right...

"I skim e-mail newsletters in my in-box, scroll through my Twitter feed, and peruse the news apps on my phone; later, in the office, I tap through my notifications and monitor more than a dozen news-related apps, including Facebook and Twitter, while juggling other tasks. I usually feel as though I’m managing to stay abreast of the day’s biggest news stories, but my reading tends to be fragmentary—I’m only skimming a story or absorbing a partial update."

You just need to know when to pick the right tool for the job.
The only thing I don’t like about jQuery is that commands fail silently when a selector finds zero results.

More often we expect something to happen, and the cases where the results might be empty are obvious enough that adding a “fail silently” flag in those cases wouldn’t be a hardship.

Sounds like fights over political issues. Disingenuous to frame that as simply harassment of women or trans people (as is to be expected from the NYT).

Also, it is the internet. It just takes one awful person out of several Billion people to harass other people all over the world. More specifically, if you post insults (like, for simplicity, implying via feminism that men are assholes), you are bound to hit somebody among the Billions of people who fights back.

The rich already pay different amounts than the poor for goods and services in pre-tax dollars. That's kind of the idea, IMO. If my average tax rate is 28% and a poor person pays an average 5% then the same $5 SF coffee costs me $6.94 and them $5.26.

The dictionary definition is quite clear: A progressive tax is a tax in which the average tax rate (taxes paid ÷ personal income) increases as the taxable amount increases. [Google]

A regressive tax is a tax applied uniformly, taking a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from high-income earners. It is in opposition to a progressive tax, which takes a larger percentage from high-income earners. [Also Google]

As such, Medicare taxes are regressive because they are capped at some amount of earned income, whereas the ordinary income tax rate is progressive because your marginal rate increases as you earn more money.

You are correct that a flat tax is neither progressive nor regressive with respect to dollars, but it is regressive with respect to marginal utility of those dollars to the earner. "Fair" is a value judgement and colors the conversation.

Debts also are theoretical numbers. Good luck saying they are not relevant.
Don't forget huge retail chains. Infinitesimal improvements in their operations can leverage, especially when compounded, sizable improvements to profit margins.

For instance, as GigaMart, if your ML system finds that you are going to need widget-x in region y two weeks ahead of time, you can plan for that including the logistics and inventory.

Hospitals? I'm sure there are lots of things in the day-to-day operations that correlate with patient outcomes that currently go unnoticed.

Etc etc. It's not about creating a huge new invention, mostly it's about creating improvements to operations of current incumbents.
I used to think the same. However, I see that this fear has become a technique to crush anything else that doesn't follow the same thinking. As usual, extremes are not good, no matter what, and it is in such situations that other extremes take shape.

I suspect that as long as humans remain the same species, we'll never get to the point where the majority of the population is informed. It's just not fun for most people; or it's too hard; or both.

The trick is to find a system of government that still results in a stable, functional, and comfortable society, even though most of the people have basically no clue what's going on.

I think the Federalist papers were a decent attempt to design such a system of government. In fact, I think it's worked quite well for the past 200+ years.

Perhaps the world changed so much that a new approach might work better. Perhaps that same approach will continue working for a while longer, especially if it evolves a bit. It's a interesting topic but sadly I don't have any good insights to share.
EU population does not feel the EU is their government, therefore they don't vote in the elections, therefore effectively leaving that government to do what it wants.

It says he's using Calmira, to make it look like windows 95. You can see that the padding on the start button and status bar are a bit off, if you look closely. (Also of course the minimize/maximize buttons on the applications are unchanged.)
Except half of the point of css selectors was that you strongly encouraged your coworkers to use similar selectors for style and behavior. Now you have two implementations of the same thing and over a long enough time horizon that always breaks.

IMO if you're basing your tax model on people dodging half of it you've kind of missed the point. People willing to dodge taxes will dodge taxes one way or the other. Re: consumption tax, just buy stuff on Amazon, boom, taxes dodged. Or on eBay, receiving "gifts" from your seller.

The solution isn't to invent a whole new parallel tax system so the dodgers pay a little instead of what they owe, the solution is to get the tax money back from the dodgers. The unpaid taxes on the amount of wealth squirreled away offshore by the wealthy right now would pay off the entire US national debt.

> The only thing I don’t like about jQuery is that commands fail silently when a selector finds zero results.

The set-operatic approach of jquery is one I absolutely love about it, though it does lead to unforeseen behaviours in edge cases (sometimes performance concerns running code on nothing or on way more than expected) it's leads to extremely convenient and fluent code, much more so than the explicit iterations of the normal DOM.

> More often we expect something to happen, and the cases where the results might be empty are obvious enough that adding a “fail silently” flag in those cases wouldn’t be a hardship.

Extending jquery to assert a lower bound (and even an upper bound as well) wouldn't be a hardship either.

In the video he talks about the Schwarzchild radius but doesn't go into details. It is the distance from the center of the black hole to the event horizon.

Anything which is not in that radius or not already in a path towards it should be safe from not getting sucked by the black hole.

E.g. If our sun becomes a black hole, Schwarzchild radius would be 2.954Km i.e. anything outside ~3Km would be safe.

This was explained in the scishow video on that topic[1].

Fossil Evidence of New Human Species Found in Philippines
And I'd also add that it's hardly even a well conceived process. Most people ideologically align themselves one way or the other and then vote that way, regardless of anything else.

For instance Chicago has been exclusively under one party's exclusive control for going on 90 years now. And so this party has had decades to carry out whatever grand vision they could ever imagine for the city. So we'd expect to see what this grand vision would culminate in. And we see a city with a broken school system, rampant crime, tremendous financial problems, horrible inequity, and that is just in general - broken.

Yet the people keep voting for the exact same party and general ideologies. It's just not logical, but it's how most people operate on most topics. They pick a conclusion they want to be true, and then find evidence to support it, instead of examining the evidence to come to the most reasonable conclusion. Perhaps in large part because the latter process often yields conclusion that we very much don't want to be true.

Insurance companies have actual fraud departments with investigators clinging onto every hint of over-prescribing, over-billing, over-testing or repeat visit inflation.

Medicare, on the other hand, has low administrative expense that's constantly touted as some kind of incredible achievement when compared to those "bloated" private insurers.

For a random subset of people, not necessarily.

For anyone who has or will have people interested in their particular accounts, not just bulk breakin of simple passwords that should be forbidden in most sites, it becomes a much worse risk profile, as you often can't turn off places letting you use that data point as one part of verification.

True. Chrome doesn't support extensions on mobile though, hence the proposal that Mozilla could implement that.
A bit late, but in my high school, we realized that our student IDs were chunked by which feeder middle school we came from. This was after we scraped the entire ID->Name mapping database.

For example, 7500-7600 was Middle School "A"; 7600-7700 was Middle School "B" and so forth. Within those chunks, we couldn't really discern an order, alphabetical or otherwise.

You're right, of course. I think I was just reacting to the tone of the earlier comment
One problem with startup RSU is limited liquidity. If you got $1M RSU and have 25% tax rate then you need to drill a hole for $250K in your bank balance right away. If private market exist and you can sell 25% of your grant, that probably works but otherwise the $1M RSU sits there just looking pretty next to that ugly hole you just drilled. Now if company goes down for any reason then that's $250K not coming back possibly not just making you work for peanuts but you might have paid out of pocket to work at that company, i.e., received a negative salary. With stock options the same outcome could occur. The great outcome occurs if you got stock options and stick around all the way until successful exit. This would be desirable by founders and investors but things may not be under your control because, you know, life happens.

This basically means that to avoid negative salary outcome startups must arrange so at least portion of grant can be sold privately to cover tax liability at the time of grant in case of RSUs or at the time of exercise in case of stock options.

If this condition is not met, trade waters very carefully.
