As some people said, the support of professional specialists is really foundamental. Be aware that with a psychologist you (in this case your partner, I am speaking at first person) need to empathize and this means that you should change specialist if you don't feel at ease or you don't feel suggestions good for you. Not every psychologist is for every one and also there are differents schools of psychology with different approaches, you have to found the good fit (my suggestion is cognitive behavioral school)
As brudgers said you can't do the work for him/her, you can help for sure, but this can be difficult and being too protective is not a solution. At one point you should have faith in your partner being able to come out. But something has to trigger inside your partner... you can't do the job for him/her.
Be aware of methods/techniques that claims to resolve it easily. Go with a psychologist, maybe you/your partner are smart enough to understand the cause of the problem, but you don't know right techniques and how to apply them properly.

Perhaps it’s hard for you to envision. You may not have seen this before. It has not always been the case that losing your way in life consigns you to living under a tarp on the overpass, while the $1B borrowed by the city to care for you disappears to cronies. Let me paint a picture of a different world where people engage with their local organizations, neighbors, and their colleagues to provide and care for those who are unable to care for themselves.
My first tech job was working for a karaoke company in London. I was hired as a music production manager but was studying computer science in my spare time and convinced my boss to let me revamp all of their tech. They were a tiny company and they appreciated the help I think. The boss was a lovely guy too who really encouraged me to run with it. The company was kind of lawless, no contracts etc. All very 'fly by the seat of your pants' . Also located in a pretty bleak industrial estate interestingly.

They went from running their business off of an excel spreadsheet and rendering 4bit graphics for their videos to having an AWS-hosted HD video renderer, a streaming on-demand karaoke service, a brand new website /store and the ability to create ringtones on an industrial scale and upload them to iTunes. I didn't do the development of the actual software, I hired a few companies and individuals to do it and acted more like a product manager I guess. The thing about hacked Magento definitely rang some bells, what we managed to achieve through abusing that thing was a thing of wonder / horror. We did so much with the wrong tools and with very little investment. I did write some in-house tools and scripts too. A few were in Scala which is hilarious looking back as it's not really the sort of language your average non-software engineer coder is going to know. After I left, they basically left all of my tools unmaintained in the hope they would keep on working forever as none of the Magento types they had on their books knew about this.

All in all it was an amazing experience to have this freedom. I could do what I wanted, I genuinely transformed the company by rewriting their internal tool chain, built new tech products for them and got to solve some quite interesting problems. These days I work on 'big tech', big corp stuff and I love it but I do miss the freedom.

Ask HN: How Serverless architecture has improved your business/operations
Hello,
I’m really curious to know if using serverless is beneficial compared to pre existing architectures
This is a nice article, but it ignores the difference between nominal and effective interest rates. Simple division only works on nominal interest rates, but you are more likely to encounter effective rates which need to be converted first.

> If I have €1000 in an investment that grows with 5% annually and I contribute €100 per month for the next 10 years, how much will accrue? … This can be calculated with the following formula: … FV(5% ÷ 12, 10 × 12, 100, 1000) = -17,175.24

If your investment grows 5% annually then this is the effective rate, not the nominal rate. The monthly interest rate is thus not 5%÷12 but rather ((1+5%)^(1÷12))-1, due to compounding—this can also be written NOMINAL(rate, nper)÷nper. You can see the difference if you compare results with different numbers of periods but no contributions—the result should be the same no matter how the time is divided up.

# Basic formula, 5% annual growth for 10 years with 1-year period
FV(5%, 10, 0, -1000, 0) ⇒ $1,628.89

# As per article, 5% annually for 10 years but with monthly periods
FV(5%/12, 10*12, 0, -1000, 0) ⇒ $1,647.01

# Converting to the nominal rate before division gives consistent results
FV(NOMINAL(5%, 12)/12, 10*12, 0, -1000, 0) ⇒ $1,628.89
A selection of other arguments, roughly ordered by strength:

1. This is mandating that vaccine companies make more money, the incentives are suspect. We might reasonably expect people who already had COVID should have better immunity than the vaccinated since the vaccination is basically just a simulation of having COVID. Why not then be suspicious of reasoning motivated by unscrupulous profiteers? People will be getting vaccinated who don't want or need it, which raises an eyebrow. This policy is probably a fig leaf for government handouts to big pharma.

2. The evidence changes. We don't know what the 2 year effects of COVID are yet since the disease hasn't existed for 2 years. Even now week-to-week what everyone knows can change. I do not trust that the scientific basis for this decision will still be sound in 12 months - the data here is raw.

3. What about the argument that people have a right to control their own bodies? There has been a concerted push by reasonable people for that, eg, in the area of abortions. If the NYC government can demand vaccination for the greater good then it is basically the same logic as demanding carriage of babies to term for the greater good. We know a lot of people disagree with that logic.

4. You also haven't distinguished between (1) thinking that the vaccine is a bad idea and (2) thinking that governments feeling empowered to mandate the most experimental vaccines in a generation is unwise. It already appears they don't work as advertised given that having taken the vaccine doesn't acceptably improve their risk profile vs. COVID (in the NY government's opinion). Which I think it does.

5. The far more effective measure would be tight border controls to prevent even worse variants - the biggest risk here as far as I can tell has always been something like a delta variant appearing and breaking through the first generation of vaccines. But defending against that would inconvenience the people making the decisions, so it is unlikely they'll think of that. The decision makers aren't serious about stopping the virus, so their decisions made to allegedly stop the virus are suspect.
Please let’s not throw around words like apartheid and Holocaust in situations that don’t warrant it. Both of those are commonly used by anti-vax community to draw attention to their perceived pain at being requested to vaccinate. But they trivialise the incredible violence done to millions of people, some of the worst crimes committed by our species. Trivialising these just to score points is unconscionable.

And let me be clear, taking a shot that is safe and effective is not an unreasonable ask. Restricting access to leisure to people who are willing to take this precaution isn’t unreasonable. And no, it’s in no way comparable to some of the worst crimes committed by humans.
Is that a pay-to-Win32 library?
I take “quietly” to mean “without causing havoc and long term symptoms” which appears to be the undefined term here. This is why I refer explicitly to long term symptoms as being what remains.

I stand by my comment, it does not “quietly” go away.
Maybe it is - if so, not fighting it consequently in many regions of the world certainly helped with that. But slowing the spread is still of essential importance. We do have vaccinations, which greatly reduce the risk of getting infected and especially the risk of severe consequences. Still, the very vulnerable groups of our society are carrying a considerable risk even when vaccinated. That alone should mandate to keep infection count low. And the more we vaccinate and have other limiting means in place - like wearing masks in indoor public places where it is possible - the lower the infection count is. That directly saves quite a few lives and a lot of health, but most of it, it buys us time.

Yes, probably everyone gets exposed to the virus in the future, but we can decide how quickly. Every month later means we might get vaccines which protect close to perfection, that we find better medication or at least better understand what Covid-19 is all causing and can treat better. Also, with any additional infection the risk of another significant mutation increases. Even with current vaccines, with a high enough vaccination rate any outbreaks should be much smaller and more localized. This does make a difference.

> I'm not sure why.

Small drones are 80+ dB (louder than a vacuum cleaner). Delivery drones are even louder.
> What is an appropriate response?

I like that you're asking this question and we should all be asking it but I'm no expert and my opinion on the matter is uneducated at best. We should be demanding this of elected officials

> Do you really think one would occupy a moral high ground by doing nothing, compared to trying at least to alleviate the suffering of the people who are stuck in this position that they don't want either?

Thinking that ALL of these people don't want to be in this position is a dangerous assumption. To me there's different kinds of homeless people form those who have serious mental issues (thank you Reagan!) to those who are undergoing economic hardship (who should make their way to a shelter), drug addicts who will rob you for their next fix, etc. If you can't stand walking by and do nothing consider becoming a social worker and address the problem expertly

> (To put it differently, do you think that the homeless are there because it's the best possible place?)

I have moved around plenty but at every city I've lived in homeless shelters are available. The conditions were usually a curfew and no drugs; it seems fair to me

to be miserable even though it is older people who are saying I’d rather just live my life and if I die I die.

Drones are a perfect surveillance or weapons platform. You could really mess someone up with a drone and most people intuitively get that.

Do yourself a favor and don't make assumptions about me. I've volunteered at homeless shelters before. At a previous company, I was in charge of working directly with a homeless shelter to organize volunteer events for my colleagues. I have firsthand experience at homeless shelters that have successfully become shelters where people really want to be there rather than on the street because of the services and environment they provide.

If I understand things correctly, the LA tent-livers are homeless and also unhoused, but the German syrian refuges are only homeless, but not unhoused. They have an apartment with shower, wifi, and a shared cooking area.

They are counted as homeless because they cannot afford to pay for their own home yet, which makes sense if you just ran away from a war. But they can apply for jobs online and they can shower for the job interview to nail that crucial first impression. The LA tent-livers can have internet and showers, too, but it requires a lot more effort.

Elon's new, transplanted hair.

He is very proud of it in the video, combing through it with his hand all the time. Especially with his current new hair-style: Short on the sides, long on the back and top - a rebell, cyberpunk, cybertruck-t-shirt on.

He looks great,... today. Gone are the years where he was bullied keeping his nose in the books and -though coming from a modelling-family (his mother)- being (looking) rather nerdy/"average"... a bit sleepy (when he was younger), going from a "nerdy" looking teenager to losing his front-hair as a young man.

I envy people that can fix their appearance with a beauty surgery. Most can't and of those that try, a lot do not look so good afterwards.
That makes some amount of sense. If you put the ultralight pilot in the craft, they literally have skin in the game. Further, ultralights cannot be flown over “congested areas” of a town/city.

Trying to apply those rules to drone deliveries while ignoring those two pretty fundamental elements doesn’t strike me as evidence that the FAA is being arbitrary or capricious.
They “spent” a $1B bond issuance that somehow simply disappeared. The bezel in the homeless industry is probably 80-90%.
I used to think natural immunity was a thing. Most people in India thought so too. Based on surveys, a majority of people in cities had been infected in the first wave of Covid in 2020. So confident in herd immunity was the Indian government that they were happily organising programs to give away vaccines to countries around the world, thinking it wasn’t necessary in India.

As the events of April-July 2021 proved, the new variant ripped through a population that was supposed to have reached herd immunity. As it stands, 80%+ of people in major Indian cities have had an infection. Does that mean that covid will never bother India again? I’m guessing no.

> most fighting with a sword ends VERY quickly with someone getting stabbed.

Tanner Greer recently posted about teaching the Iliad to high schoolers, and made this point explicitly. The Iliad is composed for an audience that is familiar with hand-to-hand combat, and depicts it exactly this way: two people close, and one of them kills the other one and moves on. Fighting is mostly done with spears, not swords, but it happens the same way.

Homeric depictions of combat impressed my mother in a different way (she is a doctor): "Wow! Homer really knew his human anatomy!"
To my knowledge (which can be wrong), vaccinated people do have a much less chance to get infected, and if infected on average have a much less viral load (thats whey they don't get as sick). As a consequence, they are less contributing to spreading the virus than unvaccinated people. And as they get less often seriously sick, they also reduce the load onto the health sytem.
The vast majority of accidents occur during the takeoff, approach, and landing phases of flight:

* https://accidentstats.airbus.com/statistics/accident-by-flig...

Planes are certified so that a fully loaded plane can be evacuated in less that 90 seconds:

* https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Emergency_Evacuation_on_...

During those phases, if an emergency occurs, people should not have their heads in a screen. The configuration of all seats and trays should be that if an incident occurs everyone is prepped to evacuate ASAP. The fewer distractions there are the better IMHO.
How to stay healthy when you are working on a computer for long
Of course, we can never stop all mutations. However, for mutations to be useful for the virus, they do need to happen at an evolutionary scale. Especially because we're lucky that SARS-CoV-2 mutates much slower than Influenza and HIV.

If the rate of transmission reaches the elusive herd immunity, the time-frame for the virus to evolve into evading vaccines grows significantly longer, even with a non-zero mutation rate.

Lastly, antibodies created via the mRNA vaccines have a broader binding affinity to different variants than those from natural immunity [1].

Again, the goal is to not eradicate, but to scale it down to the point where it is statistically not a threat.

A further problem I found was being limited by the denominations the ATM gave out. Sure 20's only works in most cases, but when I'm trying to stretch my check and have to leave $17 of my $217 in there, it hurts.

Getting to a teller window when they were open, or searching down an ATM that gave out 10's just wasn't in the cards considering my schedule at the time.
The idea that the government not wanting to fix welfare in order to protect the jobs of the welfare workers seems like a tad bit of a stretch
> but drones are just inherently unsettling at some basic level. I'm not sure why

I'll give two reasons, though doubtless there are more.

1. They add a third dimension of visibility, thus decreasing or eliminating outdoor privacy. Currently, I can sit on my back porch and watch the kids play in a suburban, fenced yard. With drones overhead, the privacy we currently enjoy is lost.

2. They remove what reasonable boundaries for "safe zones" we have left. For the entire lives of everyone now living, "don't play in the street" has been equivalent to "play in the grass where you're safe." With drones, instead of "look left and right before crossing the street," it's "look left, right, and up, and estimate the trajectory of any drones at all times."
