My favourite part of psychiatry is that diagnosis never shrinks, it only grows, and this makes people healthier and the increase in mental illness is just us "discovering" that people were mentally ill all along.

The field is an endless dynamo of medicalization because they serve as a gatekeeper to funding, and if you throw enough money at anybody start to feel better, which creates an incentive for more and more to get diagnosed. For a broad swathe of new people to be diagnosed as mentally ill does not require biological evidence, or even proof that the classification improves patient outcomes, it just requires abusing the criteria used in broad all-encompassing intrinsically political typologies (Like DSM-V) until you can hammer most of the population into the mentally ill box. The diagnosis's aren't falsifiable and in multiple cases attempts to falsify a diagnosis proves the diagnosis.

There are also various absurdities with this status quo. The literal meaning of what a mental illness actually is in in flux and has literally changed multiple time over an older adults lifetime. If you meet 5 criteria you're healthy and get no assistance, if you meet 6 criteria you're definitely disabled. A bad reaction to an environment causing issues, the classic example being the child fidgeting after sitting in a desk for 8 hours being diagnosed with ADHD, leads to the child being blamed instead of the environment.

I don't think psychiatrists have no role in society I am just heavily sceptical that they're actually scientists, they seem like people using applied science like engineers.

There's an ever-growing cult of people who are so obsessed with the idea that everyone needs to be shopping for a therapist and popping mind-altering drugs, and anyone that suggests that there are basic bad habits you could put some work in to fix like exercising or not laying in bed all day is anti-"science"

The last paragraph basically claims "it's not working from bed that's bad, it's the stigma against working from bed that's bad!"

Asking for a friend.
Labor laws and collective bargaining are two very complicated topics. Perhaps the union gave the teacher you talked to a perfectly rational explanation but it came out as "vague justification" to them because they didn't understand it? I think that is more plausible than the union demanding teachers to work-from-home for no good reason.

I haven't heard of FRESH before, but I'll certainly look into it. Filling out a CV is a chore and anything I can do to make it easier for people would be great.
> The only thing important about school is to get the degree. You don't learn much in it at all. You learn more in what you're willing to do on your own to build a portfolio on github. That's one reason why I liked CS was because I could at least do that. Unlike Art though, it's a corporate job that usually pays the bills.

I'm not sure (since I don't have a degree myself), but focusing entirely on the degree and not at all on taking the opportunity to actually learn the material doesn't seem to be a good strategy for getting a job at a tech company.

I mean, sure, take the curriculum as outlined with a huge grain of salt, practicality often trumps theory, and by all means demonstrate your abilities through a portfolio of open-source contributions, but I certainly wouldn't go so far as to say that the certificate is the only thing that matters.

Frankly, students that more-or-less major in test-taking is the reason degrees aren't valued very highly by many folks in the industry. Encouraging this attitude is only going to devalue degrees further seems contrary to the interests of anyone who actually has one, but isn't any skin off my nose.

Job-seekers that specialize in interview-passing pose a similar challenge.
Australia also forecasts that it will increase its Federal debt by AUD$500 billion due to the pandemic - AUD$20,000 per person.

Meanwhile aged care deaths in the most heavily affected state, Victoria, are actually down 1,000 YoY. Its almost certain that the majority of the COVID deaths that did occur in Melbourne were with COVID - ie. people of advanced age and serious existing health conditions who would have died around this time anyway.
This thesis on noise shaping and dither http://uwspace.uwaterloo.ca/bitstream/10012/3867/1/thesis.pd... is an excellent mathematical treatment of the subject.
Individual’s comfort can’t be a number one priority in a times of crisis. Sitting at home in a digital age when video calling anyone in the world is absolutely free, it’s the least you can do. Also all the entertainment which is available nowadays. How hard can it be to make this sacrifice so that someone’s grandma doesn’t die?

> isolation is counter-intuitive to humans

20 million cities are counterintuitive, and so is math. We get by.

I’m not denying that what is asked from people is a huge sacrifice. But not the biggest sacrifice you can imagine. And it’s definitely manageable.
In countries that know true "Moral Rights", those rights are unassignable, so any such agreement is void. Your employer still gets all the money, but you get the "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!" clout if you want it.
Taft-Hartley was a decisive stroke in the effort to defang and depoliticize labor unions in the US (e.g., outlawing solidarity strikes and political strikes, expulsion of communists). Should we be surprised that kneecapping the militant labor struggle led to the corruption of its leftover power structures?

We should definitely abolish police unions, though.
Great question! Writing and producing electronic music, continuing to explore and develop that perfect analog/digital setup, DJing loud dance music for anyone who will listen, and probably continuing to explore the intersection of electronic music and neuroscience (I.e. what’s happening to your brain when you rock up with 10k other folks to all focus on and experience the same show).
Outside of the concerns of 5G's effect on the human body, I have seen issues brought up about possible interference with other RF devices that operate close in frequency to the 5G bands. These are things that the FCC is supposed to manage but some of the critiques have been that the FCC is not doing enough. The ones below are about 5G potentially causing interference with GPS devices [1] and about the 5G band interfering with weather predictions because the 5G band covers the passive water vapor emittance bands.

8. Will the union be providing housing?
Painting walls and getting interior to your liking is somewhat different from setting up RGB lights on your hardware that sits inside an opaque (maybe with transparent sides) case, which itself placed usually out of sight. Same with peripherals (do you really stare at your keyboard while typing? If so, then I have bad news).
Walls and interior set the tone of room, and while you may not to look at it directly, it is in your vision at all times and affects your mood and behaviour.

However RGB lights on hardware is a lame attempt to force consumers into redundant expenses. After spending solid amount of time choosing parts and building your PC, installing and setting up OS, you have to make another choice regarding color of lightning. You would be endlessly changing it, until you feel satisfied for a couple of days/weeks, or even worse, thinking that is not enough and now the entire room should glow in a color matching currently opened browser tab. I prefer not to have this choice in first place.

Somewhat related to this, friend of mine had been bothering me for a whole month to help him settle on a tattoo sketch. When he finally got it, he was sure happy with it, but fast-forward to now and he remembers it only when somebody else notice.
For sure, have heard this feedback before especially from people who would like to hide their profile from their current employer.

And for breaking the terms of his bail conditions by legging it to the Ecuadorian embassy in the first place.
I did not believe this to be true, but after researching it turns out that your figure is accurate for 2016 and that it's likely only gotten worse since then.

Page 19 of this document produced by the NBER states that indeed, the wealthiest 10% own 84% of all publicly traded stocks, mutual funds, trusts, or various pension account assets:

https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w24085/w240...

It has many other interesting insights that are worth quickly reading through, for example you mention you are unsure about housing, but that report says the top 10% own 41% of all housing in the U.S.

The other interesting figure is debt, where the top 10% owe 28% of all debt.
I'd love to chat. What's the best way to reach you?
From the post:

All of that is bad, but I don't think avoiding lockdown or other measures would help with it. The images in the media of people dying in the street outside hospitals would just lead to more social/political pressure to deprioritise those cancer patients.
It Started vs. How It's Going: Layoffs Edition
Francis Collins and Craig Venter certainly got a lot of the publicity, but arguably there are others who were more influential. E.g. Leroy Hood who developed the first automated DNA sequencer, and Mike Hunkapiller who led the commercial development of the technology at Applied Biosystems to the point where it was practical to sequence the whole genome. Hunkapiller was also the impetus behind the formation of Celera, though Venter was its leader.

> How hard can it be to make this sacrifice so that someone’s grandma doesn’t die?

This is where things go wrong.

You're shaming people for feeling natural human instincts to socialize.

As though it's selfish to not want to be locked in your house indefinitely.

There is a striking resemblance here of the tactics used by abusers and emotional manipulators.

> But not the biggest sacrifice you can imagine. And it’s definitely manageable.

That's a completely presumptuous personal view - for a very large and underappreciated segment of the population, the ongoing lockdown measures to combat coronavirus are absolutely devastating.
> big data and global software distribution and scalability.
Big tech has contributed to both the tools that allow handling massive data streams and ML

Yes, because mass surveillance is good.

Difficult to see much excess death in the UK in the past few months beyond levels seen in the 2018 and 2017 flu seasons.

New lockdowns also seem to be coordinated across the global right now, independent of local conditions. This absolutely seems like a coordinated global action to achieve some kind of strategic aim.
Even with a vaccine this virus will not go away for at least 10 years. It took 185 years to eradicate SmallPox (mostly from the WHO push of 20 years in the 60s/70s). Vaccine manufactures are claiming 95% efficacy, but that's honestly not a comforting number. It leaves lots of room and since Challenge trials are unethical (they shouldn't be, but they are) we don't know how accurate that number really is.

We still haven't eradicated Polio. This virus may be with us for another 100 years honestly. The next generation will grow up with it and likely won't be affected at all by it. Who knows, maybe the common cold Rhino and Coronaviruses killed millions in human pre-history and now they just give us the sniffles.
Right but speculation based on what?

Bitcoin's current speculation is based on the theoretical "it'll replace fiat", otherwise what other utility does it have?

Gold technically can be melted down to be used for jewelry, wiring, etc. so in theory it would never go zero. If BTC doesn't work out and no one ever uses it to transact, then in theory it can go to zero.
Bitcoin should not be viewed as a currency (for the reasons outlined in the article), but the libertarian-types who were claiming it was going to replace fiat currency early on continue to peddle that about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies today. And the idea that BTC = money ("coin" is in the name and "currency" is in "cryptocurrency") has stuck in many people's minds, so this stuff is unfortunately necessary since the general public's understanding of Bitcoin is "obscure digital money that goes from cheap to expensive and back real quick".

And the media, being generally too lazy to do critical investigative work into obscure tech stuff, have actually reported on BTC as if it is a real currency in the past.

Futures, stocks, etc never had the public image of a potential future currency, which is why you don't see blog posts about how "High-yield debt will Replace Fiat in a few years" or other such nonsense. The same cannot be said for Bitcoin.
Apple: assembled by Foxconn.

If your premise were accurate, the primary value would be in Foxconn and they'd destroy Apple by competing with them and take their $60 billion per year in profit.

Most of the value is from Apple and the other component makers, not the company doing primitive assembly. Further, Foxconn makes nothing in the iPhone, so once again it's very obviously not "made by Foxconn." And that's why Foxconn gets such a tiny slice of the profit.
Yeah, passmark users have more AMD share would be a better title.
The US government is full of corruption and closed-source companies basically destroying almost all open source collaborative efforts based on greed. Unless a leader steps in that truly understands this and works to get rid of it, then I don't think the US will ever be able to compete.

As an optimist I like to think that this could be a wedge in a crack Covid exposed in our (US) collective medical/insurance dis-function.

With dissimilar records harmonized across many institutions under the same roof and levels of access to the datasets for partners who did not "provide" records to the pool (you)

we are testing the theory, my hope is before Covid is over the genie is out of the bottle and cant be stuffed back in for the profit of a few at the expense of many.

But you folks reading this who are able to apply disparate strategies to reasoning over large complicated data sets...

PLEASE DO !!!
I think this is different. China just sends their people to other countries to abduct people whose speech they don't agree with (e.g. how they got that Swedish citizen in Thailand). The USA actually has to go through a legal process.
It was Cameron bluffing and the lever was the nuclear option. If it went the other way, he'd probably have more leverage to negotiate. Well, surprise. Too bad. I already miss the poor buggers. If Scotland holds another referendum, they're pretty much screwed because Northern Ireland is going to be next. I hope Nigel is happy now.
> I'm always surspised that we're still arguing about this.

Ignoring the fact that Belgium is one of the worst affected countries, I'm not even sure what you're arguing? Yes, covid is bad and yes it kills people. Did people in Belgium die who otherwise wouldn't have? Yes. Can we move on to the real issue?

> If you do not get a handle on this, your healthcare system will be overwhelmed eventually, and no sane person wants to see that happen.

Ignoring this ridiculous strawman attack (if I disagree, I'm insane) I'm very unclear where I suggested we shouldn't get a handle on it. Did I suggest that I want out healthcare to be overwhelmed? What is this? You're just throwing up charts an screaming about how bad covid is. We already know this.
> For example, I've had people tell me that they don't support unions in tech because they'll be "paid less", or less competent engineers will be promoted faster.

This is something that has always amazed me.

Your typical tech worker does a lot of unpaid overtime under the guidance of a manager whose only merit to management is being friends with someone. It also has to retrain him/herself for free on it´s own spare time and by the time it reaches 35/40 it tends to be let go by not raising his/her salary anymore or by putting him/her in lower status position. (Not to mention working as a contractor for years, etc.). These are the kind of problems unions are expected to fight for.

But every time someone mentions unions they go after the salary cap, time of service, etc, discourses.
