> Depression can happen virtually on its own

Given that CBT is the first-line treatment for chronic depression and has a really good success factor, we can see that what you are saying is technically correct (it can happen) but the assumption you make earlier:

> Identifying causes for mental health conditions is problematic and not very fruitful

Is, while also technically true in some cases (it is a broad statement that applies to more than depression), as connected to depression plainly false.

You've constructed a compelling argument that seems to check out based on only a tenuous relation between different true statements.

I hope that this is just a prejudice and not something you believe as someone suffering from depression. If this is in fact the case, know that in a lot of the cases causes can be discerned and you can with treatment in fact be able to live a lot better. In the small minority of cases where you are depressed because of a biological limitation (yes, this also happens - it's just not the most usual trajectory), that's when you treat it with a (hopefully life-long) line of antidepressants that work for you.
It exists. Pharmacies open late on rotation here with one being available late night. IIRC in some places it's a hospital pharmacy that you can get a prescription from if it's an emergency. You can find open pharmacies here: https://beta.nhs.uk/find-a-pharmacy/ or call 111 if urgent.
Honest question however, is that truly accurate? I'd be interested to know if that's actually the case.
There's half a dozen that are.
This might sound very obvious, and it is, but there are so many horror stories of people being charged tens of thousands of dollars because they accidentally pushed their secret keys to GitHub or any other public repository hubs, which are being scanned constantly for such credentials.
> The macros are nice and all, but I’m pretty sure the author of log went out and said, yeah well, but you’d disable this in production, because it’s slow and all.

You can target code to be executed in debugging vs. production in Rust. So you can have two logging: one for production and one for debugging.

Even better, if you propagate errors back to the top of your program, you'll only have one line for logging for production and the informational logs will remain for debugging only.

> To me, what executive function means is that I have projects that I am interested in, that I would like to work on, that I would be happier for having completed, that I am unable to complete.

What you are interested and what you like to work on (and how you should go about this) is in part informed by said 'productivity culture'. The same goes for meeting friends. I've lived in environments/cultures where the need for 'executive functioning' to pull this off was almost zero, because it'd just be part of the rhythm of life rather than some planned activity.

Just to provide a bit of counterpoint; not saying you're all wrong.

> In most other other cities there's rarely more than one combini at the same place, and you would not see 5-6 of them just by walking 5 minutes.

I live in a prefectural capitol in Southern Kyushu and yeah you're right - we only have 3 convenience stores in 5 minute walking distance. That's in a residential area and not in the central district where there are more.

I lived in a similarly sized city in Sweden and there was literally one single 24/7 convenience store in the whole city. And I think it closed.

> Never seen a combini owner that was poor or having a hard time to make ends meet.

Well obviously, they quickly become ex-owners. We have 3 convenience stores near our apartment that have shut down in the past couple years. They wouldn't shut down if they were profitable.

Top-down decisionmaking is actually efficient, big companies are slow in spite of, not because of it. The slowness comes partly from bureaucracy, but partly arises because big companies have something to lose.

The rapid reaction of small companies only looks like movement on the macroscale. In reality, it's a series of births and deaths. They don't move much at all, but they die fast and get formed even faster compared to big ones. And that forming part usually involves individuals with goals.
I am suspicious of hype/scare articles like this one...smells too much like manufacturing consent for more laws to restrict the ability of americans to go around the laws enacted by the healthcare cartel via congress...all in order to increase wall st profits...

yes, I am aware of the dangers of antibiotics no longer being effective because of overuse etc...but I don't know how much of that is media propaganda being paid for by some medical cartel...most everything in america/the West is shaped by and influenced by corporate propaganda put out by the media...this article and similar articles smell like media propaganda that is designed to scare people and manufacture consent for yet more laws from congress to control the ability of the people to go out and buy some drugs to help them live longer...

I don't trust the media because it is bought and paid for with corporate advertising dollars...I don't trust the medical cartel because they increase profits by restricting our freedom to buy medical care and buy drugs...the medical cartel and media and congress effectively conspire to extort americans for healthcare and drugs that help them live longer...that is how they get rich and we get poorer...

I don't trust congress because they are bought and paid for by the corporations and they dance to the tune of the corporate media...

I will say what nobody else on this thread dares to say--that this article is quite possibly propaganda bought by the medical cartel...and that this article is one of many such articles...

> if it was zero sum - you earning money would mean somebody losing it

Earning money means somebody loosing it.
It is only possible to earn w/o somebody loosing by either narrowing the definition of somebody, or limit the time frame in which the process is occurring.

For example, most of the animals are not considered somebody, that's why their loss of habitat, is not considered somebody loosing money.

I think in economics these are called externalities. It's not that they don't have a cost, it's just that we prefer to ignore it, because there's nobody to complaint about it,

I think you misunderstand me. I'm not saying that you shouldn't have any responsibilities, but I'm saying that there should be a balance. In my country an average 16 year old's schedule only consists of "responsibilities" ( I would say that a responsibility can only be something that you choose, and not force into, so involuntary schooling can't be one, but anyway... ), and has almost 0 own time. I think the balance would be better at 50-50: 6 hours of school ( with homework + commuting )...

What I mean is not that school makes slackers, but school makes people believe that they are slackers, because they never had the chance to experience that they can perform without external pressure. Some people do need pressure to do things, but many people don't. I don't. I mean even if I feel pressure, that's coming from within, and not because my parents/peers would disapprove if I get a C.

But I generally agree with you, school makes people accept that they can't change their life, they need to be slaves/pressured into working ( otherwise they would slack off ).

Also, I would not say that accepting what is forced upon you is discipline. The most disciplined people I know discipline themselves without being force, and that's not something that you can learn in school.
On a related note, does anyone know of a good reference of applying space filling curves as a method of dimensionality reduction? It seems like an intuitive idea since Hilbert curves [1] map points from a higher to a lower dim space but tries to preserve distance as well.

> This is not helpful, because only an extremely small proportion of Web users run NoScript, and nor should they have to.

Most (non-technical) Web users also don't run their own web servers, so they aren't affected. Among technical users, the proportion with NoScript is probably not as small.
Honestly, such notices are shockingly unusual - most of the time (at least for the sites I encounter) they don't bother with <noscript>, you just get a broken and/or blank page.

I mostly use the web for reading blogs and articles, so the loss of dynamic sites isn't troublesome, but it's certainly not for most users.

Really, just focus on the time sink.

The picking rate is meaningless because you can always increase it by buying more robots. In this case, they plan to have 4 slow grippers to achieve that 25k/day.

The performance needs to be given as a ratio with some other important variable like cost so it can meaningfully be compared to humans or other robots.
I doubt it. I think these are for detecting whether or not you're in a "captive portal". I.e. airport wifi that requires you to enter login credentials or something.

But hey, give it a whirl: block detectportal.firefox.com with your hosts file and see what happens.

We have the technology to actually ensure that https://news.ycombinator.com/ is really https://news.ycombinator.com/ but we do not have technology that could ensure this is where you get when you type "Hacker News" into Bing.

Part of what has to happen to civilisations around technology is that they adjust to what is possible. Different adjustments are possible, the egg washing thing is an example: in some countries you purchase eggs in the state they're laid (which means sometimes there is dirt on the shell), and you don't keep them in a refrigerator; in other countries you purchase eggs "washed" clean and they're refrigerated. Either of these approaches works fine, but mixing them up doesn't work.

So, for example, teaching people to bookmark sites is an adjustment that works with our technology, whereas teaching them to get everywhere by following sponsored links on Google not so much.

WebAuthn is another example. A Security Key doesn't care that you thought mybnak.example was your bank, doesn't care if you got there from a phishing email, from a bogus advert or you just can't spell when typing. It will resolutely refuse to provide mybnak.example with your mybank.example credentials because those strings are not the same. You can press the button over and over, swear, throw things, but because it's based on the URL it won't let you screw yourself.
Or maybe there's just so much more to go wrong.

> But quantity can’t obscure what one Chinese energy journal last month referred to as the industry’s “Quality-Gate” scandal. The numbers are damning. In 2018, Chinese manufacturers recalled 135,700 NEVs for a crushing 10.8 percent industrywide recall rate. Already this year, another 23,458 electric vehicles have been recalled.

> Batteries are the most common source of problems. Some don’t perform as advertised. Others drain unusually fast. Still others run dangerously hot. More than 40 NEVs spontaneously combusted in China in 2018.

> Other issues include faulty motors, faulty transmissions, faulty odometers and bad odors (a problem to which Chinese consumers are particularly sensitive). Most notably, according to market research firm J.D. Power, problems are far more common in Chinese NEVs than in traditional Chinese-made cars.

One of the defining characteristics of a psychopath is the lack of empathy. That is not to say you cannot learn when to feel empathic, and he touches on that too. Maybe we just need to change our definition, or invent a new one. One can be a pathological psychopath, but not be "a psychopath", because they was loved and cared for properly. Essentially they learned that social connections was overwhelmingly beneficial for them.

Thirty Year Study: Advertising as a Major Source of Human Dissatisfaction
Theoretically, it's not just limited to brains and neurons! Phosphates are extremely prevalent in living organisms, and Posner molecules are just a special arrangement of these common molecules which can prolong entangled quantum states. For example, from the blog post:

"Posners are believed to exist in us and might participate in bone formation."

And on a slightly different level, from the abstract: "This work opens the door for the QI-theoretic analysis of biological qubits and Posner molecules."

This could end up being a foundational paper.

It affects my behaviour as a consumer. In Europe I tend to purchase snacks and lunch in supermarkets or convenience stores at the bigger stations before travelling (but rarely those on the platforms because of the prices). In Japan, I just get it from any convenience store (including those inside the gates) or the vending machines without a second thought.
I think that jims aggressive arguments behaviour comes not from its genetics or frontal lobe abnormality. Its come from his past childhood. Being loved so much in childhood make people become a competitive person and egocentric.

There were studies that said that people with higher IQ have more self control ability under alcohol influence. I think its the same in this case. Jims ability to control itself come from good education that furthermore increase his self control.

There's been a push in recent years to make Rust better for web development. One consequence of that is that you get more web developers writing Rust.
With SQS, the act of dequeueing makes the mesage invisible to other consumers for a predefined time period. The consumer can ack the mesage once the procesing is completed resulting in the message being deleted. If the consumers fails to do so - the mesage will eventually become elligible to be processed by another consumer,
An almost equivalent model to renting is buy used/sell used. Because they biggest value loss of anything new happens during unboxing, the average loss between buying used and selling used is the transaction cost plus an approximation of actual wear and breakage. You won't get charged for not returning by this-and-that date.

Of course, if you are a tool hoarder like me you won't ever get further than buy used, but I guess that would still be "less stuff" than buying new.

On a related note, my favorite business that does not exist would be a chain of second hand stores that deals in all that "beach vacation crap" (inflatable rubber things, objects to enjoy and/or deal with sand/wind/sun etc) that tends to get hauled home just to die silently in an attic. It would absolutely have to be a chain to make experience transferable between destinations.
If you use uMatrix, you can easily block the localhost and local network "sniffing" with the following rule[0]:

* 127 * block ### block access to IPv4 localhost 127.x.x.x
* localhost * block
* [::1] * block ### block access to IPv6 localhost
* 192.168 * block ### block access to LAN 192.168.x.x

In principle, you can use this without any other blocking, i.e. with the rule:

* * * allow

and hence without disabling javascript on any sites.
