Well that is not really true. The Queen fired the PM in 1975 and Australia did not change to a republic at that time.

Did you have a vesting agreement? Sounds like not. Always prepare the divorce papers before you get married (when you are founding a company). It's awkward and hard, but that's the best time to do it, because if you agree you're all done and if you can't agree, you shouldn't be running a business together.

I think you should absolutely be paid for your time and effort, preferably in equity. Given the structure of your corporation (and how the app was paid for), you may have few options.

Everyone's depression is their own, and what works for one may not work for another. And, what doesn't work for one may yet work for another.

So the specific things that worked (and didn't work) for me may be different for you. Be open minded and critical, and don't be surprised if you have to try a few things.

That said, the first thing that helped was the validation that came from talking to someone that, in my mind at least, had some broad knowledge of the subject, and knew enough to listen critically, to see whether I was in immediate crisis (I was).

The two things we tried first are often the two "go to's", an anti depressant (citalopram, an SSRI) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_serotonin_reuptake...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy

Different categories of anti depressants work through different mechanisms. I got lucky, my ssri began to work almost immediately; usually it takes a couple weeks to see any effect, if any, good or bad.

I didn't fare well with CBT, I think because I'm too cynical, and I could "see the magic trick" that I was trying to play on myself. Which is the wrong way to think of it, but I couldn't help it. So I stopped that. But it has helped lots of people.

I'm not saying these two things are what will help you. But you asked.

The doc also suggested vitamins D, which I still take, and B something, which I stopped because it makes my pee smell really bad.

He also prescribed an anti anxiety drug for the immediate crisis, which I filled but never used.

And we discussed immediate crisis resources like 911.

My remedies are almost not important. The main thing was that I got validation (lots of self doubt when you're depressed), and the relief and hope that comes from taking action.

This is a sweeping statement, can I ask for at least one sourced example? I've seen no source attempting to claim that marijuana is a miracle cure for depression, or that CBD is anything other than a fad propped up by a regulatory fluke. At most, I have seen articles regarding the potentially beneficial painkilling effects of marijuana for terminal cancer patients.

Why is it that when “rural America” and the suburbs got caught up in a drug epidemic people blame the media, corporations, the lack of opportunity, and call it an illness, but when it was happening in the “inner city” it was all about “the culture”, “moral failings”, “getting tough on crime”, and “the war on drugs”.

I wonder what could the difference possibly be....
I made it using Unity. In hindsight, I wouldn't use Unity again: the physics is really buggy if you want to do anything non-vanilla. For example, running physics at faster than realtime can give different results to 1x (this is important when automatically testing levels for playability - I computationally verify that each level can be solved with a hole in one).

Fair enough, I misread your original comment and my reaction was to people who automatically skip ads (through some sort of adblocker). The idea was that when you have to do it manually, you'll do it less often than when it happens automatically, and you -will- hear the advertisements and, in general, it -will- lead to more sales.

People who furiously skip the ads manually will indeed remain unaffected.

I think that the entire enterprise is a red herring.

It's nigh-impossible to understand this system by working from the bottom up. I don't see what kind of insight you'd get from this that you wouldn't get from a more understandable simplification in a minute fraction of the time.

For example: yeah, if a gene is contained in densely packed nucleosomes it'll be harder to express. But knowing that is enough; the exact details of how that works atomically is not the issue here. There are much larger issues with gene expression we don't understand which can much more easily give us much more insight into the workings of the system.
I wouldn't like to disclose my country & the company type since I don't want to get into trouble over the possible NDA that I may have to sign, but it's not a US C-Corp-like where you can issue shares and stuff like that. the ownership is derived from the initial investment (this is most of the times fictional, just to establish the ratio - in our case it's 60:40 as mentioned before)

The thing about VR is that pretty much anyone that's actually tried it will say it's too compelling to not have some measure of success. I don't think VR/AR/XR will ever be as ubiquitous a platform as smartphones are today (which seems to be what Facebook is banking on, owning the next big computing platform), but it won't go away, and it's not just a gimmick either. It's a new class of experience that we are still figuring out how to even do and produce content for, and which will broaden its appeal as the prices come down - but it still remains to be seen if it'll ever be entirely mainstream either.
That's a great idea! Do you see these as being strictly private and personal or would you consider having public tags?
Thanks for the question, whitten! You raise a very interesting point.

We definitely plan to contribute information back to Wikidata and, in fact, we already did as part of our experiment. We contributed more than a thousand edits, mainly on company data like industry of operation. Of course, we need to strike a balance between what we contribute back and what we keep as competitive advantage.

Besides that, we always comply with licenses and give credit to the original source when this is required. For example, when displaying Wikipedia content there's always a prominent link to the page where the content has been extracted from.
First you would need a PE exchange for liquidity. Good for startup share liquidity pre-IPO also. Price it at auction, employees chose to take the $$ or they have an immediate IRS basis. Most would sell a fraction to cashflow taxes.

That's an extreme view, don't know where you are getting positive-only information feed. Like any mind-altering substance, it has its positives and drawbacks which are different from person to person.

For me personally, the benefits far outweigh drawbacks. In society where things like alcohol and cigarettes/tobacco are perfectly fine although they provably destroy endless stream of families, lives and bring one of the worst possible (and costly to society) ways to die, having cannabis illegal is unfair and illogical. US prisons full of small time weed offenders, an event that effectively ruins one's professional life.

Read a bit about history and why it was banned in US, which then pushed it to the rest of the world. Even to places like India where its used as religious plant for millennia.

I strongly welcome legalization and hope the movement comes to Europe, and rest of the world soon. Society is better off if it is legalized (and regulated for things like access to minors/psychiatric patients, strength, purity etc).

Now to advise it as panacea for mental issues is plain stupid. Go see an expert, that's why we have them. Same would go for stuff like LSD.

I used to block ads on ShoutCast, 15 years ago.

StreamRipper cut the streams by ID3 tag change and accompanying silence. My script just played the ripped MP3s, and ignored the ones with an ad-like ID3 title or that were too short to be a song.

I even had a remote control with "keep current" and "keep previous" buttons, to put the songs into my archive.

Agree with @buboard below that academics likely aren't the right target audience.

Before giving up, I recommend testing two paths to validate whether there's real opportunity or not.

1. User Research: if you haven't already, reach out to your user base to get real input and guidance from them on how they use the tool, the value they see in it, how they would promote it and what $ they would pay for it log-term. I recommend doing this a 1:1 conversations on a platform like Zoom so you can chat live and record the conversation for further review. You'll likely uncover some gems on positioning, utility and organic marketing opps. You'll be surprised how much people love to participate in these kinds of sessions as it's a validation for them and stroked the ego a little bit.

I would lead with a personal email invite asking for the time. If that doesn't work you can always default to a survey.

2. Rethink the solution. Take academics out of the picture and strip back to the basic functionality, features and solution you provide. What are other verticals or user audiences that could benefit from it? What are competitive companies doing in that space that you could improve on or offer something totally different?

3. Bonus thought...look back at your competition. What are they doing that's driving their success? Sure, they make have an inferior product from your POV, but they're doing something right to be winning. What are they doing that's winning? Can you emulate that at all as another final validation on the vertical and audience?

Good luck!

While I agree that water is an increasingly scarce resource, I find the argument that "people will die of thirst" very misinforming of the situation.

The thing is that we may call it drinking water, but it's used for all purposes like washing, sanitation etc. An average person's daily water consumption is 150-300 litre in various countries, but she uses probably only 3-4 litre for drinking. The problem is scarcity of water to fulfill our wasteful living standard, where we flush drinking water by the liters everyone we go to the toilet. A different problem is the distribution of water, where the poor haven't been able to get reliable access to this water. This is why people die of thirst.

When will we all learn that ad-supported versus paid products are just a variation of the Stanford marshmallow experiment.

Free, ad-supported products are all about short term gratification because it costs us nothing today. Instead if we consider the long term when making these choices, then an investment in a paid no tracking product would be a better decision.

The problem is that the experiment itself showed the majority chose the short term gratification.

I don't see why blocking ads for the sake of blocking ads shouldn't be a good enough reason to block ads.
As a user I'm not in charge of ensuring that the market works, and I'm certainly not required to ensure that corporations make a profit. It's their duty to do so, and companies making a profit out of ads have proven repeatedly that they will seek profits however feasible.
The worst thing one might be doing by blocking ads is to breach some contractual agreement, assuming that one was ever undersigned.
The only reason one should refrain from blocking ads for the sake of blocking ads would be if that was illegal. But I don't know of any criminal law that punishes such a behavior, and honestly I don't think it would easy to draft one.
I certainly will block ads whenever possible, which in first place means paying for the services I like (entertainment, email, productivity, news, etc.). But when paying is not an option, and too often it is not, I simply quit the service (e.g. Facebook), or block the ads when even that won't work (surfing the web).
The alternative to advertising is paid subscription content. I don’t see how you’re going to achieve greater privacy by giving someone your credit card number.

James Burke is a science historian and BBC documentarian, and in his first episode of "Connections" a series on the nature of innovation, he talks about how fragile our complex infrastructure can be, and, much like this article, how hopeless individualist survival skills would be once we "leave our technological womb".

In his later series, After the Warming, a 1988 documentary which imagines what it would look like in 2050 if we failed to act on climate change (in which it predicted refugee crises, wars, hurricanes, mass flooding), and looks back on thousands of years of climate shaping civilizational rise and collapse, from the Ice Age to the Nabataeans to today and beyond. It gets most things scarily right, with the notable exception of failing to see Japanese economic bubble popping in 1991.

Germany is an interesting case to say the least.
After decades of campaigning by the Greens, and right in the middle of this global warming crisis, they closed nuclear power plants and started up coal plants again... But, fortunately, the coal plants were only temporary; Germany is now building a big pipeline to get natural gas from Russia.

As for France, there is not much more to do; the country's energy mix is largely nuclear + hydro and the industry has long left the country anyway. Macron could try to promote insect burgers, as they are trying in other countries, by in that case he'll get protests even bigger than the yellow vests :)

I did the same thing your Wife did with Twitter. I found myself checking it at work whenever I was stuck on a problem or basically whenever I was slightly bored. It's great on keeping up on things and getting some good laughs, but it was also draining in many ways as well (politics, being up to date on every terrible thing in the world, etc).

I still check it every other night on my computer/ipad at home, or I'll login from my phone if something big is happening. But not having the app on my phone has made a huge difference.

A minor aside, but it was almost pathetic how the first day after I deleted the app, without thinking, I would open my phone and click where the Twitter app used to be. It took me about 2 days to get over that habit. It truly is an addiction.
