I would highly dispute that "almost everyone" experiences any of these symptoms (note that they must happen "(almost) every day"). You've also missed a very important requirement:

"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."

You might accuse this definition of being too subjective. But it is certainly not something that includes "almost everyone".
I like how you worded that. I definitely have my moments when cynicism takes hold and I lose most desire to do anything creative or productive. I normally power through it and double down on walking and running. It’s not a 100% fix but it certainly prevents the feeling from being my overwhelming mind state. While I guess the definition fits, mental illness seems a hard word for depression. It does seem that the tide is turning and the stigma around mental health has steadily lifted with most people.

I have mixed feelings around Psychology and Psychiatry. I still feel like there are too many doctors offering pills to cure your ailments without getting to the root of the problem. But that isn’t every doctor and I have seen things like CBT improve people’s lives. Ultimately I think that some of the “cure” must come from within and you have to want to change. I think a good doctor and therapist will help someone unload and frame things in such a way as to encourage that.
To me this seems like visitors have been labeled users. Media mentions can drive visitors, but visitors only become users by conversion and retention. Sure it's a big ego boost when people visit my site and if I'm blogging that's what matters. And if I'm running paid ads, visitors make me money and Google has tools to help me do that and bloggers have spilled a lot of pixels writing about it.

But a product is different and driving people to the website is not the direct mechanism for making money. Sales are how products make money and that's where metrics need to be taken. Sales is harder than SEO and PR.

Good luck.

The biggest surprise was when I tried to access that same page from an Android phone. It prompted me to install the jitsi app. After I installed it, it directed me to my jitsi server.

For me it was flawless and even better that I expected. It's a strong competitor to zoom because of the fact that it works right inside the browser really well.
The second half of what you're saying is just standard web development practise. And as for the rest... everyone has to make a judgement call. Do you still support IE8? Presumably not. As the percentage of users with a browser drops the amount of development work required to support it means you drop it. For a lot of us the number of IE11 users (< 1%) means it simply isn't worth the time.

Even if it's not useful for general-purpose compression, it may still be useful in a more restricted domain. In text compression, Brotli can be found in Chrome with a dictionary that is tuned for HTTP traffic. And in audio compression, LPCnet is a research codec that used Wavenet (neural nets for speech synthesis) to compress speech to 1.6kb/s (prior discussion from 2019 at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19520194).

>With SAINT, study participants underwent 10 sessions per day of 10-minute treatments, with 50-minute breaks in between. After a day of therapy, Lehman’s mood score indicated she was no longer depressed; it took up to five days for other participants. On average, three days of the therapy were enough for participants to have relief from depression.

One imagines that three to five 10 hour (!) days of a presumably highly-trained professional spending time and attention and focus on a patient serves as no less than an incredibly strong placebo. It would be interesting to see a blinded study where the transducer functionality was replaced by a small heater (or whatever is needed to make the system act, feel and sound the same for all involved).

It would be lovely if this held up. Depression and other psychological issues are insidious.

From peaking at the code, it seems like each lower res image is a scaled down version of the original plus a tensor that is used to upscale to the previous image. The resulting tensor is saved and the scaled image is used as the input to the next iteration.

The decode process takes the last image from the process above, and iteratively applies the upscalers until the original image has been reproduced.

I always wondered about the possibility of a legal automation company that would opt people out of a given class action, wait for the class action outcome, and then file individual claims for everyone who opted out. Much better than receiving a gift card for $2.83 or whatever.

I suppose the court fees would be prohibitive, unless you had a strong case and could make the defendant pay them. The math could work out for the right cases though. Back in the day, I remember a class action lawsuit over Philips CD burners that just resulted in something like a $200 coupon off a new Philips CD burner. Basically a useless piece of paper unless you wanted to give the company another $300, but if that could have been made into cash...
IE11 was supplanted by Edge years ago. Windows 10 ships with Edge preinstalled (it comes with both, but you're not stuck with IE). Windows 7 and older are no longer supported by MS. The only in-between is Windows 8 which everyone hated so I doubt it has a huge market share, especially in enterprises which are the only ones who might be "stuck" with the browsers that come preinstalled on the OS.

Absolutely not. Those who still use IE11 have to have a hard deep look at their bullshit requirement. We can't keep support for insecure and obscure technology because someone somewhere might still use it. This type of bullshit makes it even harder to build safe & reliable software.

What key factors determine whether someone is a Dodgers or an Angels fan? (2011)
>why do these important studies use such small N

Generally because bigger N means the study is more complicated logistically ( cost, finding participants, whatever). And if the results are promising you can always get more funding to move on to bigger trials. Nobody is going to pay for you to recruit 1000 participants if you can't show an effect size with a smaller number first.

> I think its pretty obvious that a small N is not statistically significant

Well this totally depends on the effect size. You can't just dismiss results because N is small, that ignores how probability works.

>Why not use use N >= 100 or not at all.

Because N > 100 is a totally arbitrary value. The size of N that you need is totally dependent on the effect size, not an arbitrary value. You'd miss lots of real but small effects by having an N of only 100. You'd miss out on lots of real but large effects which can be observed at N < 100.

Basically this approach would severely limit the branches of research we can do, for a questionable gain in statistical reliability.

The majority of photos you already have most likely contain thumbnail and larger preview images embedded in the EXIF header.

Raw images typically contain an embedded, full-sized JPEG version of the image as well.

All of these are easily extracted with `exiftool -b -NameOfBinaryTag $file > thumb.jpg`.

I've found while making PhotoStructure that the quality of these embedded images are surprisingly inconsistent, though. Some makes and models do odd things, like handle rotation inconsistently, add black bars to the image (presumably to fit the camera display whose aspect ratio is different from the sensor), render the thumb with a color or gamma shift, or apply low quality reduction algorithms (apparent due to nearest-neighbor jaggies).

I ended up having to add a setting that lets users ignore these previews or thumbnails (to choose between "fast" and "high quality").

I'm not so sure. It depends what you mean by "depression". If you mean exactly what's written in the DSM then you should be sceptical. See "Crazy like us" by Ethan Watters: a great book, only part of it about depression.

Remember that when Freud was active the main psychiatric ailment was "hysteria". Did hysteria exist? Does it still exist? To what extent is mental illness socially determined?

Democrats believe individual rights should be protected too. It isn't a controversial statement, and libertarians don't have a monopoly on that, despite their straw man mischaracterizations of other political parties, and their mistaken but fanatical belief that health care and access to education aren't individual rights worth protecting.

Your replies are full of other gross mischaracterizations and misstatements of fact, but I won't fall for the old Gish Gallop.

But most noticeably, you don't contest the fact that Rand Paul has made his career fighting tooth and nail against universal health care and sabotaging and dismantling Obamacare and fucking over people with pre-existing conditions, and that he is a hypocritical menace to society for downplaying the risk of Coronavirus, while as a trained physician exposed to a highly contagious virus, knowingly, cruelly, and heartlessly spreading it himself FOR A WEEK, right? Which perfectly fits the libertarian stereotype.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/rand-pa...

>Rand Paul Has More Than a Cold

>The senator from Kentucky was worried enough to get tested. But while he waited for the results, he kept going to work, the gym, and the pool.

>By inadvertently spreading the coronavirus around the U.S. Capitol for at least a week, Rand Paul has turned the world’s greatest deliberative body into the nation’s highest-profile vector for the spread of the pandemic.

>The senator from Kentucky was worried enough about being exposed to the virus that he got a still-hard-to-obtain test for it. But while he was waiting for the results, he decided to keep showing up to the Senate. He went to group lunches with his Republican colleagues, took the Capitol elevators, talked with reporters, and worked out in the somehow-still-open Senate gym. Yesterday morning, he was doing laps in the pool there.

>[...] There’s no question that Paul got special treatment. He got a test that others want and can’t get, and he got it despite having no symptoms—something the president has explicitly said people shouldn’t be doing. He got it as a United States senator, which means that he got it on a taxpayer-funded government health-care plan. Everyone else, including those who might be fighting for a ventilator in the coming weeks, can wait.
