That isn't how suicide works.

I know the US is just very bad at this, but you can literally look at other countries and learn from their experiences. I know, some of them don't speak the same language, but it turns out Americans are just human like everybody else.

Interventions _work_ without making suicide impossible, because the suicide victims aren't rational people looking to kill themselves, they are crazy and have fixated on a plan that would kill them. When the plan doesn't work they are reset by that and most won't kill themselves.

The most internationally famous example is Town Gas. Britain used to make a dangerous but useful flammable gas called "Town Gas" by processing coal. The gas burned reasonably cleanly and coal was readily available, but the gas was toxic and so you may have heard the phrase "Stick your head in the oven" - the idea isn't that you could somehow cook your own head, but toxic Town Gas will poison you and you'd die. Britain used to see lots of suicides by this method.

And then, not to prevent suicide but for simple economic reasons having discovered huge natural gas reserves in the North Sea, Britain switched to Natural Gas. Things had to be reconfigured, there are still left-over buildings and equipment littering the country decades later, but it just made obvious economic sense to switch. Natural Gas, however, though technically it could suffocate you, isn't poisonous and is very disinterested in remaining even a poorly ventilated kitchen, it just floats off. So people who lay down with their head in the oven after Natural Gas didn't die. They'd lay there, and eventually they'd realise this isn't working - and they would get up and get on with their lives.

This _actually worked_ entirely by accident, the suicide rate dropped significantly. A natural experiment, and to refuse to learn from that is extremely dense.
> If you're planning on using the Apple Card for anything important, think again.

That was the final line in the article, but from reading the rest of the article, it seems like the overarching problem was not the Apple Card, or the idea of virtual CC numbers... but more that time and time again, Google will shut down your [YouTube|Gmail|Ads|Cloud|anything] account with little or no notice, and arbitrary, non-contestable rulings, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it after the fact.

I was nervous about staking anything financially important in the Google ecosystem, but after seeing this kind of post every week, there's no way I would tie any important business venture into Google's ecosystem.
I feel like users install untrusted software on the desktop all the time and it's called closed source software.

It's not like Facebook is some small, unknown malware peddler so that its software should be considered "untrusted". If anything, it's untrusted because it's coming from a scummy company and opaque (due to being closed source).
So you’re talking about software which doesn’t exist, right?

This seems like a silly slippery slope argument.

There's rules about discrimination for specific reasons: you can't discriminate based on age, race, gender, etc. "Which credit card" you use isn't one of those categories, so it's legal to discriminate based on it. (And is often done, though not to this extent; many places, for example, will accept Visa and Mastercard but not Discover.)
i think one of the biggest nuts to crack is that end user is in app space and cant black list apps [such as FB] from system procs and resources. If we could sniff and/or hook for requests to read the entire library all at once, or for such a request from a particular app, and ~pihole it or give it a honeypot to suck on for data.
Interesting i never had such problems. I do webdev and Safari seems to be always the worst. But i dont use gmail.
It is intentional, I'm just saying it's ridiculous. the Google way is to treat everything like a programming problem. That works decently well for bits, but really breaks down when working with humans.

Apple does that too [1]. I assume it's to prevent a DoS from fraudsters. (Obviously, it's a problem for legitimate users)

Let me clear that up for you, if you are still in doubt.

Perl5 had a period of slow releases in the 2000s, this changed in 2010 with the release of version 5.12. Since then, Perl 5 has been on a yearly release cycle. The current release is version 5.30.0. When it became clear Perl6 wasn't coming any time soon, some people left Perl. Others knuckled down and wrote some great code that made Perl5 into a much better language. With many core feature additions and deprecations, new CPAN modules, and tooling to support consistent work by teams, the Perl5 language is more expressive and better than ever.

Perl6 took forever, had major internal conflicts, but managed to survive and ship a specification in December 2015, version 6.c (6.a was an alpha version, and 6.b a beta). The Rakudo Perl6 compiler gets monthly releases, but most people install the Rakudo Star distribution, which bundles some extra modules and just makes life a bit easier. Rakudo Star began shipping "A usable Perl 6 compiler" in 2010. Regular releases tracked changes in the compiler.

The Perl6.c spec was announced in December 2015, and the first Rakudo to implement it was released at the same time. Rakudo Star, lagged a bit and released in January 2016.

Here's the Perl6 release announcement: https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2015/12/25/christmas-is-he...

The Perl 6.d spec was released in November 2018, and the Rakudo 2018.11 version defaults to supporting it.

Here's a link the Perl6 FAQ with more info on the Perl6 versioning and releases. https://docs.perl6.org/language/faq

If you liked Perl5 then, come back and give modern perl5 a try.

Perl6 is an amazingly expressive and fun language to write with.

They don't need funding. Most open-source software is redundant, low quality, or extremely niche. It's ok if some open source software is simply never written.

I think it's fair for developers to charge (or otherwise monetize, including ads) for their software, even if they open-source it, but they don't "need" funding any more than any other arbitrary piece of software that someone somewhere thinks should exist.

What's wrong with this? If "software development evolution comes to a grinding halt" then it means we didn't need any more new software and existing solutions have solved all problems.

It's important to bring up. They sure make a lot of recommendations for "necessary best practices" based on bunk. Most people read articles headlines and maybe just skim some of the rest.

The damage is kinda done now in that a lot of articles are gonna come out saying it could be "associated with 29%.." which to the average person reads as "Watching this causes suicide". Heck, Salt Lake City IDS "...we highly discourage students from watching this series".

The mania has begun and some hand-wavy dismissal of environmental or social factors because they definitely would have increased homicide rates(except 13 Reasons Why of somehow, of course, because reasons!), and some brief, buried nod to correlation != causation doesn't make it all better.
Great idea! Keep up the good work. A nice way to introduce someone to Jira and it’s structure.
My knowledge of Stoicism (in the philosophical sense, not behavioral) is based on recently reading The Practicing Stoic, by Ward Farnsworth (https://www.amazon.com/Practicing-Stoic-Philosophical-Users-...). I recommend the book as a good introduction to incorporating Stoicism into one's life, and I think readers would be hard-pressed to see an endorsement of "toxic ideology" in the thoughts of Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and other Stoic thinkers.

Math.

They tell you it's useful (it is) and beautiful (in a way, for a slightly stretched definition of beauty). What they don't tell you right away is that there's no end to the stuff. Sooner or later you have to say "enough." And since a significant fraction of what I learned before I said that was useless [1], I wish I had said it sooner.

[1] I know you're not supposed to say math is useless. It's the kind of thing a disaffected sixth grader would do. But there are a lot of unnecessary proofs in math: things that seem perfectly obvious and are in fact true, but that require a long and counterintuitive argument to prove. Time and again I read the argument, pondered it, more than half-memorized it when the books could just as easily have said "A complex argument is necessary to establish what is obviously the case. Find it if you want to in Appendix J."
That is the point that is being made.
The title is the summary of most writing you can find about stoicism. That is it's hard to find stoic writing and easy to find writing about stoicism and specifically how modern ideas about it are all wrong. I can't say I've found much of the counterarguments they're all trying so hard to refute.

> many places, for example, will accept Visa and Mastercard but not Discover.

But that's explicit and the same for everybody. If you accepted Discover from somebody and not from somebody else, THAT would be discrimination.

Discriminating the credit card somebody is using without telling anybody... well, could still be discrimination. Younger people could be more prone to use an Apple card, couldn't them? Can you demonstrate the "feature" you're discriminating about can't be tied to age, race, gender, etc?
It's a classic "Go fuck yourself" response.

>so it's legal to discriminate based on it. (And is often done, though not to this extent; many places, for example, will accept Visa and Mastercard but not Discover.)

Sure, but one thing is:

"Sorry, I cannot accept Discover, do you happen to have another means of payment?"

and another one is:

"Sorry, I cannot accept Discover, and since you presented one of those cards to me once, then you are prevented for the rest of your life to enter these premises again".
> And it’s certainly important to not use a mistaken view of Stoicism as an excuse for, basically, being a shithead.

People all over the world use mistaken views of complex ideas to justify their shitty behavior. Pop science, pop psychology, pop philosophy, all of it used to justify the stupid things people do. Is it 'important' to recognize this? Sure, I guess, but that isn't going to make those lazy, stupid people any more likely to learn the subject for real. They're just going to pick up a pop version of some other concept, because they don't actually want to better themselves: they want a justification for their shittiness.

> The data is clear - single payer systems achieve lower prices thanks to having MONOPSONY POWER over the market

The data is clear that a free market for healthcare would do even better than a single payer system. I seriously believe that. But this is the problem with "the data is clear"-based arguments. I won't convince you by saying that "the data is clear" because it's much more complicated, and that's why you also won't convince me by saying that.

Now I get that in a narrow sense your data is clearer than mine: we have the U.S. system and we have single-payer systems, and we can see that the latter are better. But we don't have a comparison point for a free market in healthcare. Although I think there is enough data to conclude that it would be far superior, by the criterion you are using---simply comparing the systems we have in the world today directly to one another---there is a gap missing; we don't have data on a free market in health care. So technically, you don't know that single payer is better than a free market in healthcare.

If you have a free market for MOOCs, coding schools, etc., people will exercise their economic judgement such that good schools win and bad schools die out. If you have the government pay for it, it will be an inherently vicious process that will reward the schools that are best able to solicit funding and it will end up in the same place the 4-year colleges did.

Greece probably didn't do better on the Drachma, it probably just hadn't had the pendulum swing back the other way again (i.e. come down from the sugar high). I mean, that's my guess, based on my economic views. This goes back to the "the data is clear" issue... causation is really complicated to understand.

I'm sorry but I don't believe in local currencies. If there is an honest and sound money, people will always prefer it. I think that is what we should work towards. But props to you for making something. I think people should be free to choose any currency they like, including a local currency.

* America puts more value on the protection of the individual from society than the protection of society from an individual.*

That's not true, though. U.S. laws and their enforcement are extremely punitive compared to most other western countries. It seems the values are very specifically centered around the right to own guns, not around protecting individuals from society in general.

90% of Perl's line noise comes from using short cute variable names and trying to cram way too much into way too compressed regexes.

There's nothing inherent about Perl that causes people to use $z instead of $somethingDescriptive. And regexes have for quite some time allowed for insignificant whitespace to comment things in detail.

If you comment your regexes and use decent variable names, you solve 98% of the readability problems of Perl, and both of those could be enforced with a linter. But as I said, a lot of the problems come from one liners being slowly expanded. Using single letter var names for anything is fine in a one liner, but not good for long term program legibility or maintance in any language.

I had this exact issue with FB a while ago. Got that exact response.

Fortunately I’d worked with FB before for major brands, so I knew the email to send to to get a real person. There is almost always a monitored email address for accounts receivable, and if you email them pretending like you are having trouble making a large payment, someone will respond. When they think it’s a fat check, suddenly “this decision is final” is just a mistake.

Surely that's an indictment not of stoicism but of that particular "self-help" volume?
Appliances, in my opinion, are a racket that artificially creates stratification among models to provide a variety of price points.

That said, very few refrigerators out of the large number of available models (many more than say dishwashers or clothes washer/dryers) have the same interior layout.

Even two nearby models from the same manufacturer with minor feature differences will have significantly different layouts, to the point that you can't just choose to get a fridge with or without feature X without also choosing between differences in the likely more important aspect of layout.

> "Stoic philosophy, Sherman tells me, isn’t a “black and white picture.” “You can cherry-pick as much as you like in order to get the picture you want,” she says. “But to use Stoicism for a political agenda... "

Which is exactly what this article and author is doing.

Sotcism isn't about expressing emotion (cry when appropriate, then stop would be the stoic message, and don't encourage grief in others)

It isn't about red pill philosophy.

It is, as expressed in the classic texts, almost exclusively about not worrying about bad circumstances, such as being exiled, being a cripple or being the ruler of the world but being surrounded by terrible people.

It is probably applicable to every woman and man alive. We all suffer set backs, sadness, mortality and loss.

Throughout history people have tried making it into other things. Fortunately we have the classic texts and they are amazing. My favorite being Senecas letters to his brother.
As someone else in the thread has already pointed out, which one do you think will be less stressful and noticeably easier to manage - deciding what to do for dinner for a group of 3 people vs. a group of 30 people? It is much easier to converge on a decision that will leave everyone satisfied when you have 3 people. While with 30 people, it is almost guaranteed that there will be a few people who would be left unsatisfied, a few satisfied, while the remainder will just end up being "ok" with the compromise.
Another day, another horror story and with that a further confirmation of how profoundly broken Google's support is. I shall think twice before buying into any Google products and so should you.

Or getting kicked out of the Play store when this is your only means of earning a living. These are not hypothetical, these are stories from HN front page just this year. Frightening and infuriating at the same time.
