How do you come to these conclusions?

If I am not unaware of some brand new research, the cause of depression is still either unknown or multi-factorial, depending on how cynical you want to be. The Wikipedia section on this reflects this:

"The biopsychosocial model proposes that biological, psychological, and social factors all play a role in causing depression.[5][28] The diathesis–stress model specifies that depression results when a preexisting vulnerability, or diathesis, is activated by stressful life events. [...]" [0]

Similarly, Cognitive Behavioral therapy which, well, focuses on behavioral interventions and has had astonishing successes with medium as well as major depression, often on par or exceeding drug therapy - and absolutely shining in combination with drug therapy.

As I said, I might be out of date on my information, but IMO depression is a bit too important too take weirdly partisan stances like "external treatment is claptrap" just because...

I agree with all of the points, apart from one:

> Do things you are bad at

I would actually offer the opposite advice: do things you are good at. The world today is full of "anyone can do anything" and awards for participation etc. But nothing feels better than being good at what you do. I attribute a large amount of my happiness to doing a job that I'm actually good at. I'm better than 99% of people at doing what I do. I don't feel like I'm struggling. I don't feel like I'm inadequate. I feel like I'm useful. I feel appreciated and respected.

I'm all for continual learning and pushing one's boundaries, but start by finding what you are good at. Otherwise you're forever going to feel mediocre and out of your depth.
It will never. Best option is just invest in Ethereum which has Proof of Stake (not energy-intensive) coming next year. The changeover to it being the top coin is inevitable. It only needs to double its market cap right now to do so, which isn’t that difficult in something as wild as crypto. And I say that without bias and I’m about 80/20 BTC/ETH right now. I think the coming months may be the last hurrah for BTC. There’s no need to use that much energy and it will only get more important with time. I have lost an incredible amount of money backing the wrong horse the past year or two and being in Bitcoin as Ethereum has eaten its lunch.

BTC maximalists will file in below me with bogus attestations that proof of stake is bad and none of it will be correct or factual. Proof of stake actually increases decentralization and eliminates the fact that now to mine btc you need to be near a very cheap electricity source and have ties that can get you the fastest asic mining machines as soon as they come out.

Assume there is no border control among nations, people are free to choose whether they want to work where wage is lower and leave days are longer, or where wage is higher and leave days are shorter. No matter how people make their free choice, there will still be people complaining about leave days are not mandated to be longer.

I will always celebrate the fact that we still have a nation on this planet does not mandate leave days. And I give full wish to people choose to move to countries with longer leave days.
I am not talking about infinity. I am not talking about a scenario where you have a constant event stream, which will never vary. You are correct that if you have such a system, then at 101 events/second "you're dead".

I am talking about a bazillion other use cases in which there is variance in the number of events produced at any given time and where the immediate processing of those events is not of utmost importance. "Slap a queue in between" and suddenly you are no longer bound by what your systems can handle, you are only bound by what the queuing system can handle and that is usually much easier to scale (or can already handle this kind of load).

E.g. think about a system needing to synchronize with another external system. Back in the old days (and well I'm sure those systems are still out there today) synchronizing two systems may well have been an overnight job. A nightly sync job. Nowadays many such systems probably try near realtime synchronization but you don't want to make it part of the regular flow either and block the actual operation.

But sometimes there's too many synchronizations that need to happen at once, so a queue builds up over some period and goes down again a bit later. It's still better user experience than a nightly job. E.g. your regular load might be at 10 e/s. During some particularly busy time or specific bulk operations being executed in parallel by multiple people, you might have an influx of 200 e/s for a minute or so.
There is no such thing as a global free market with true price discovery in the real world. Foreign markets exist and you can't control them. They also tend to do insane things like selling products to you for money while lending the money back which drives the velocity of money down while simultaneously fueling speculative bubbles.

Whatever the Fed is doing is just a side effect of things that happen in the global economy. It has more to go with globalization and China than the US economy.
> Maybe you should not live somewhere so expensive

That is one of the problems of the "cycle of poverty". Moving requires a large upfront capital investment for a moving truck or gas for your own vehicle at the very least, as well as taking time off of work for house and job hunting (since getting to your old job may be unfeasible from wherever you manage to find a home). Not to mention you'll need to pay up for a deposit for the new location without having the old deposit back yet and in almost all cases either a fee for breaking your lease or paying two rents simultaneously for a month or more.

Summarized, that is easily hitting 5.000 $ if not more.

> If you are just making ends meet you are not financially responsible.

Are you really calling nearly 70% [1] (or, after COVID, likely more!) of Americans "irresponsible" for having less than 1000$ in savings?

Were the rate of people in that circumstances something like 5% or lower, I might be inclined to agree. But that large amount speaks rather for a systematic problem!

I was talking about the fact that the center of lift is ahead of the center of mass of a circularly symmetric wing with positive lift. [1]

That force would normally cause an aircraft to 'pitch up' (and hence planes have tail's and carefully balanced weight to stop this happening). In a frisbee, the gyroscopic effect means that this 'pitch up' force actually translates into a 'roll right' motion. By making the rim heavier, you can make this happen slower, but as far as I can see, you can never eliminate it entirely.

My fin is on the outer edge of the disc, spinning with it, so it can oscillate at ~50Hz to get independant roll and pitch control, while also being able to trade off loss of angular momentum vs lift. It also has the benefit that it can be made from cardboard in a single pressing with the disc with no glue or assembly labor.

I’m building our companies first data platform right now (fivetran, dbt, snowflake), so I’ll definitely check this out!!

1) Do you have Metabase on your roadmap? Lightdash?

2) I see that you alert on schema changes, which is great. Can you monitor for schema changes of a Postgres database? Reason I ask: Fivetran (and others) will try to buffer some schema changes from you to prevent data loss (drop columns, rename columns, etc). There is some more complex nuance I have in mind here, but it’s a bit too long to type out on my phone, :)
US "poverty line" is at 80th percentile of world incomes.
That explains why this revelation couldn't be put in the headline. But yeah like a sibling comment said, someone else posted a mirror 30 minutes before you.
Contingent contracts and subsequent graphing could fix that. Ask for everybody along proposed "grid-maps" of territory if they would be willing to sell for a railroad, and how much at an upfront price and make all pending a successful route negotiation. Then it becomes a graphing problem to find the cheapest path which fits the constraints.

Unless it was an aircraft carrier, unlikely.

The bird's average speed is 33 mph (29 knots). Cargo vessels tend to cruise at about 18-25 knots, and many move more slowly.

There's little direct traffic between Alaska and Australia. Shipping lines are visible through their emissions trails, as in this Nullschool link showing NO2 concentrations, from May of this year. The long lines are shipping lanes. You'll note these from Panama to New Zealand, tracking along the Western US coast and Alaska along the Great Circle route to Japan and China, and past Papua New Guinea, among other notable routes:

The data recorders would also likely note any marked variations in travel speed or direction. Again, ships tend not to cover the routes flown by Godwits.

This problem is worsened by the pandemic btw. The demand for mental healthcare has never been higher, but the healthcare system is breaking under they strain as workers are also dealing with burnout. (Also, hospitals and insurance rarely give due to psych it deserves.)
WiFi is a half duplex shared medium that can have interference from other WiFi networks and non WiFi speaking sources. All of this makes it extremely difficult to say what is good or not. If that's between 2 clients on the same WiFi network that's actually pretty impressive. If it's WiFi on one side and hard wired on the other with no other wireless clients or interference then it's not really good but not horrendous either.
What I don't get about arguments re: single family home prices benefiting from nimbyism, is that it seems plainly untrue. I do agree that that's the perception however.

Very simple example. Say I own a single family home in mountain view. Tomorrow, the zoning changes such that somebody can build a 10 story building on my plot. Obviously the value of the land goes up tremendously, and the incentive exists to sell to a developer to rebuild it.

So zoning for higher density should only improve value of homes.

Or put another way, say there were a SFH with a yard on a plot in the middle of Manhattan. How much is that home likely worth?
The problem with this “record” is that people may come to incorrect conclusions from the way the information is presented.

Still, I'll believe it when I see it at amateur cycling clubs. At pro-level I don't think anyone would take the performance hit (even though they claim it's compensated) just to avoid having a front derailleur.

This is the report:

3.4 Short Selling and Covering Short Positions
GameStop at the time was notable for its significant short interest (the ratio of shares currently sold short to shares outstanding).74 Figure 5 shows GME’s short interest over time, along with average levels of short interest among other non-financial common stocks. In the past, GME had several periods of high short interest, but none as high as the levels achieved from 2019 to mid-January 2021. GME short interest hit 50% of shares outstanding first in 2012 and then again in 2015, 2016, and 2018, before rising even further in 2019. From then until early 2021, GME short interest hovered around 100%, hitting its high of 109.26% on December 31, 2020.
Some commentators have asked how short interest can get as high as it did in GameStop. Short interest can exceed 100%—as it did with GME—when the same shares are lent multiple times by successive purchasers. If someone purchases a stock from a short seller and subsequently lends the stock out again, it will appear as if the stock was sold short twice for the purpose of the short interest calculation.75 Short interest ratios tend to be quite low; for large non-financial stocks, they are often less than 2.5% whereas for small non-financial stocks they still tend to be less than 13%. Few stocks, if any, have short interest greater than 50% on a given date.76 Until recently, short interest of more than 90% was observed only a few times—in 2007 and 2008. When examining short interest as a percent of shares outstanding, GME is the only stock that staff observed as having short interest of more than shares outstanding in January 2021.

What’s the difference between a short squeeze and short sellers are buying to close their positions 2021, GME short interest hovered around 100%, hitting its high of 109.26% on December 31, 2020.

Well, for context, the US military is overwhelmingly physically-fit and healthy compared to the general population.

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2021/09...

50% of the 6 deaths reported in the article were >50 years old.

"Their deaths bring the military’s COVID-19 mortality rate to just over 0.02, much lower than the roughly 2-percent rate nationwide, but 50 times higher than it was during previous surges last year."

Seems like banking on your overall fitness isn't a terrible position to take... Delta variant is probably the main cause of the uptick in fatalities but they remain comparatively low (nevertheless something that led me to get vaccinated....just before they made it mandatory to keep feeding my family anyway).
If the demand for labor exceeds the supply of labor inflation goes up which also means interest rates must go up. The Fed exists to moderate inflation down to a 2% inflation goal. When you consider that inflation had been below target for a number of years with no way to increase it, it only makes sense to let it run wild for a bit and then reign it in.
Disagree on all counts, and let's leave it at that :-)
Why is it important to reflect on that?
Good, it's not up to Sourcehut to decide how I should expose a web service (or browse the Internet FWIW).
"To believe that starting a new business on the internet is a path to riches is irrational"

Why? There are plenty of examples of smart, educated people having success on the internet, so it is rational to see this as a path to riches, if you are smart, too. Of course the assumption, that you yourself are smart, might be wrong. As might other delusional expectations. But copying what lead to success for others in similar situations is a very rational, I would say evolutionary concept.

Hopefully I didn't come off aggressively, I was just trying to give you some feedback.

In terms of hyperapp, that is as much compiling as `document.createElement("a")`, which is what your library does, too.

I'm not saying write redundant tests. Tests are more than just one person's psychological comfort. Another great example is if you are accepting PRs into a larger codebase, having tests means you know other people aren't breaking previously working parts of your app. Tests can also work as documentation, since a test describes how pieces of your app should work.

I'm confused why you think any of my suggestions imply that you should make your library heavy/larger/unmanageable.
>10. Want nothing, accept everything

"Accept everything" was a big one for me. It helped me deal with anxiety about future, amid uncertainty.
We wanted to make Metaplane free for individuals and approachable for teams, and found that $400/mo is justified by the cost of engineering time saved and is comparable to other paid tools that a smaller data team might use (like dbt, Fivetran, Hightouch).

That said, we’re still experimenting with pricing though, and I can see the argument for a tier that’s more suited for individual paid plans. We also want the free plan to be pretty generous — is there a specific constraint that feels too limiting? Thanks for your feedback!
>I'm not interested in studies that show something.

An interesting way to think, to say the least.
Congrats, Drew! We may not always see eye-to-eye but I have immense respect for you and what you've created.

I'm curious what you envision the end goal of Sourcehut to be? I know it's a living system/business but regardless I'm curious what you envision.
No social state handouts to appeal to migrants and speed the process up?
Unexpected? This must be an apple ad.
Absolutely, that was an appalling incident. It's a tragedy not just that it happened, but that none of those responsible went to gaol. Hopefully if anything like that were to happen today they would face the full consequences of their actions. It's much more likely that those in authority would be held to account nowadays, but still not certain unfortunately. We must continuously strive to do better.
Do a lot of people start internet businesses aiming for a small sustainable lifestyle business? I personally think that's a very healthy place to end-up, but I suspect that a lot of ambitious people would consider it a kind of consolation prize. You are not, in that mode, "changing the world". (But then, as we have learned over the last 25 years, changing the world with the internet isn't exactly without downside!)
They broke the social contract. They can make this argument to a judge but they can't make it to the users they betrayed.

Thanks, for the remarks, I'll fix that.
> In Togo, a nation of about 8 million people where the average income is below $2 a day, it took the government less than two weeks to design and launch an all-digital system for delivering monthly payments to about a quarter of the adult population. People such as Bamaze, with no tax or payroll records, were identified as in need, enrolled in the program, and paid without any in-person contact.

10 days from inception to rolled out. There was a slight hiccup with fraud, which was then handled almost instantly.

That kind of speed of development is absolutely possible, especially in richer nations. The key difference seems to be not the fraud prevention systems, but the desire to help those in need.

> “It’s a strong belief of mine that just because someone is poor doesn’t mean he’s irresponsible—he’s just poor,” she says. “So if you give him money, there’s no way he’s going to waste it. For me, it’s linked with dignity.”

That perspective isn't one you'll find popular in the nations that should be able to deploy programs like these, but don't. Their voters don't see them as helping the poor, and don't see the poor as likely to invest any protective income into survival. So the politician follows the culture of looking down on those with less, and perpetuates the cycle.

It's a self-inflicted cultural attack on the most vulnerable part of the population.

Tips for Running a Successful Forecast Review Meeting
That's fair. I was working from home and tried to do a lot more of the non-baby chores, like cleaning and cooking. We're also fortunate enough to have paid cleaners. But it didn't require me to take any more time off work. I would log off relatively early. I think sitting around not doing anything or screwing around on my computer not at work would just annoy my partner more. But I know some people have a lot more chores

Yes, miniflare [0] lets you run Workers locally, but I wouldn't treat it to production traffic.

There's also Deno, which is very similar in technology to Workers [1].

Others are building "Workers" atop WebAssembly, and things are looking up on that front as well [2][3].
