It's a tangent, yes. My point here (which I didn't articulate earlier) is that one of the arguments against independent schools having to pay business rates is they're indirectly helping the local community through this trickle down effect - sure they're taking in huge sums from overseas students, the argument goes, but that means home students get cheaper education than otherwise. As you say, there's very little evidence for this in practice.

That's fine, but irrelevant.

IE11 lives on because many corporations run software that requires it.

There's a network effect, because links don't open the a browser that's compatible with the destination, but in the same browser as the link. So the corp with one IE11 app wants to serve their intranet home page in IE11, and so they want everything to run in IE11.

There are mitigations and migration paths, but that's all swimming up-stream -- it incurs risk, and costs time and money -- so it happens slowly and only in spots.

To use Bootstrap 5 you have to answer this question: are corporations my customer, or could I ever pivot to a business strategy where corporations are my customer?

If you don't care about money, then you can just answer no if you want, and you'll be fine.

But the consumers you can reliably insist run modern browsers don't pay for websites (not directly), so if you are running a business you are either committed to an ad-driven model, physical goods model, with no b2b option, or you're going to keep IE11 in-play.

I just don't think most people want to make a far-reaching commitment about the nature of their future business before they develop their first web page. (They do it all the time, but not on purpose!) A framework like bootstrap should free you from coming to grips with all that, but bootstrap 5 pushes it into your face before you are probably ready for it.

Since this isn't double-blind, I wonder if there's reason to upvote it to the top of HN now versus after the research progresses a little more.

Sometimes early signal, even if inaccurate, is very valuable (e.g. bitcoin). With alleged medical advances, I almost never find that to be the case (I can't recall the number of times I've read about cancer being beaten here).
The myopic view of treating everyone with antidepressives seems to be the result of capitalism exporting lifestyle problems and solutions to those problems, solutions that can be monetised and which create new problems. But, a big but, there is a segment of population which does need to be at some point in their life on antidepressants, clinical depression is real. These people have no reason to be depressed and yet they can’t get out of bed. We have to make sure we make this distinction though. Clinical depression cannot be denied unless one is ignorant or didn’t have first hand experience themselves or or someone close.
I had severe depression, almost unable to move, complete anhedonia. I was still doing well at work (until the unable to move part got worse), but literally nothing made me happy. There was nothing about my life situation that could have caused it.

The doctors would tell me that I'm completely fine, except my optometrist, who found that my dry eye might have been caused by auto-immune issues. I followed up with a ER doctor (I'm in Canada, very hard to find a good GP) and he ordered a newer test which determined I have anti-ccp antibodies, which signal inflammatory cytokines.

I was having stomach issues at the time, but I thought it was the depression, the primary symptom of depression is felt in the gut, or so I was told.

I found the auto-immune protocol after talking with an elderly woman who had RA. I had to cut out quite a bit of food, and found it very difficult.

Finally, I tried a ketogenic diet. Surprisingly, after one week I was feeling better! My depression lifted, though all my physical symptoms remained, I found myself running for 30 minutes or exercising without even willing it.

I then switched to a pure carnivore diet, which is a subset of the ketogenic diet. I felt even better. I've heard the Wahl's protocol is another similar method to solve this problem.

Right now, every time I eat too many vegetables, sugars, or anything high in fibre I have an issue. I think my issue was a combination of very high insulin resistance (I ate tons of pizza in my uni days) and some allergy. I think I'm allergic to dioxin and glyphosate which is sprayed on all vegetables these days. An alternative to the carnivore diet which seems to work anecdotally is the Wahl's protocol, it's just very difficult to procure and find that much variety of vegetables.

One thing I've been trying to do is to write blog posts about different aspects of what people are dealing with right now on a personal level, and share those thoughts with people who I am close to. The writing I've opted to do is broadly through the lens of navigating intersecting values that conflict.

I think that writing and sharing your writing with your close circle is a way of expanding upon the idea of having conversations with the people around you. Though of course, have the actual conversations as well. It's just harder to have the same conversation with 30 people than it is to share your thoughts in writing.

Tim Ferris released a youtube video that goes over why he thinks that writing can help develop your thinking, too, recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65U5byDZ55M

With epidemology it's hard to tell the difference, there's no identified mechanism for depression or psychomotor retardation.

Depression exists. It is the most thoroughly researched psychiatric disorder. If left untreated, depression can lead to physical changes in the brain. It has enormous impact on the individual and society.

> DALYs represent the total number of years lost to illness, disability, or premature death within a given population.

> DALYs are calculated by adding the number of years of life lost to the number of years lived with disability (YLDs) for a certain disease or disorder.
> To receive a diagnosis of depression, these symptoms must cause the individual clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

I'd say most of the lower class has this issue.

> But it is certainly not something that includes "almost everyone".

How do you know this?

edit: maybe almost everyone is too much, I mean about 97% of the population.

Fulton Sheen has spilled a significant amount of ink against psychiatry, and against many forms of psychology, because they all reject the existence of the soul. And if the soul does exist, but we make all sorts of assumptions based on the idea that it doesn't, then all our conclusions will be tainted if not completely wrong. He talked quite a bit on depression, psychosis, neurosis, anxiety, and other mental conditions.

Incidentally, the stereotype that religion is only for the ignorant and that talking about it always devolves into an emotional and irrational argument, is only true for certain emasculated forms of Christianity, but not Catholicism, where Fulton Sheen proved that (high) intelligence is in no way contrary to religious belief, but actually religious concepts are better explained by those with higher intelligence.

Anecdotally, one of the biggest reasons I bring up religion so much, especially in threads like this, is because Catholicism was the only form of psychology that actually helped me overcome my many great mental disorders, and I am confident that it will be able to help others through their lesser and fewer forms than I had. But because of the extreme prejudice that intellectual people have against religion in general and Catholicism specifically, there has been almost no public progress in this field.

"Catholic counselors" have generally in my opinion been non-Catholic in their foundational principles and have in no way been able to help me, for example. And priests, although they should especially be educated about psychology from a Catholic foundation, especially in these days where it's more prevalent than ever (Fulton Sheen expands quit a bit on the reasoning), they have not seemed to recognize the serious need for this yet and have not caught up.

So almost all of my improvements have been from independent research on and application of these things. I really wish that the intelligentsia in general and here especially would catch up, especially when I see so many people struggling in many of the same ways I did and have overcome in the past few years. That's why I try so hard on here to convince them it's actually for them. If they only read Thomas Aquinas and Fulton Sheen they might see that it's actually more of an intellectual position than agnosticism or atheism are.

But sometimes it takes a person hitting rock bottom to realize that all their enlightened philosophy is useless to help them live a truly happy and fulfilling life. Sometimes only when we have the most pressure do we consider alternatives that may be a bit unpalatable to our preferences.

> What is one "cup" of flour?

8 fl oz of flour spooned into the measuring cup or 4.5 oz. by weight.

I'm not at all trying to be snarky here. Like any other specialization people who cook have organic terminology that is useful to the in-group but confusing to the out-group. A /24 isn't the same as a class C network but we all know what is being conveyed.

And you'll get much more accurate measurements of small quantities measuring by volume instead of weight since kitchen scales aren't that accurate. Knowing that 0.25 tsp is about a gram for just about any granular thing will probably do better than your scale.

It also helps convey the sig figs in recipe. Very few recipes have a tolerance of 1 g. Even finicky bread doesn't get that accurate so it's ridiculous when some bloggers write something like 113 g when without question the recipe was originally formulated to be 4.0 oz and you just messed up the conveyed tolerances by blindly converting.
The telehealth platforms I see are terminating through the health provider itself. It does the call setup, conference setup if needed, waiting room for prior call to end, if you send a photo it can be saved to your record etc.

If this is e2e to the physicians home, how does the telehealth system do all these add in functions?

At least in the US, the requirement have been understand to use secure transport everywhere. Folks keep on saying HIPPA requires e2e but I've literally not seen anything that looks like that out there in the actual market for this - the enterprise paying the big bucks usually wants features that are incompatible with e2e as far as I can tell.

There are no US requirements for a PE stamp. There are 50 state level requirements, all somewhat different.

In my state, a four year BS degree in an engineering discipline is an automatic accept, although a non-engineering but engineering-related degree is accepted with four years of experience working essentially as a PE's apprentice. And regardless of degree situation, six years of PE apprentice type work qualifies. The criteria are not set by the state gov but by a professional cert board.

So a BS in EE from an ABET approved school is an automatic accept to start stamping civil engineering sewer projects, which seems a little weird as if obtaining a neuroscience degree qualifies one to perform open heart surgery, but whatever. My BS in computer science is "engineering like" enough that a four year apprenticeship under a PE would qualify me, although I didn't pursue that path. My SiL's primary K12 educator degree would qualify her after six years of apprenticeship under a PE, hilariously implying her liberal arts degree counts negative two years toward learning to be a PE, LOL.

I know some PEs and the required written test is reportedly very easy if you recently graduated, virtually impossible the longer you've been focused tightly in one industry. Stealth ageism much like how CS jobs "require" algorithm whiteboarding.

My state is extremely interested in prior felony convictions as a criteria. Not sure why that's relevant in any fashion to PE stamp a civil engineering project. I don't know how common that weird fixation is, this might be doc dropping what state I live in?

Anyway, in summary, there are 49 other states with differing opinions.
