The comment we are replying to is pretty clear:

> he said he tried with a couple patients but didn’t see any long term results so didn’t want to put me on it

To me that's a very reasonable take if it's coming from a real psychiatrist, OP doesn't tell us his life story. The trained professional thinks there are better solutions for his patient because he tried the protocol on other patients and saw no long term results. If you read that statement and think "OP should try other psychiatrists" then to me that just sounds like you think ketamine is some kind of miracle drug.

As with everything else in life YMMV, but if taking drugs to address a specific issue (i.e. non-recreational), then listen to the person that spent +10 years studying to help you.
Thank you for letting me know! Kind of gives me hope for the rest of the field
> The customer has nuclear weapons. They do not do "bounty". :)

Not only is this not funny, it would likely have the unfortunate effect of turning off any of the "very, very, very, few individuals"[0] who might be able to help. The fact that the issue apparently remains open after a year and a half seems to attest to that.

This definition would mean that law and psychology are "hard" because they are highly-licensed professions.
> Don't they use that spiel to get you to take less salary and a smaller cut of equity?

They sure used to, but these days at a funded and successful C/D you'll get very similar cash. The market for engineers is insane right now. I've seen Meta starting salary levels offered by even earlier stage companies.

[edit] As for the equity angle, it really depends - but generally speaking if you're being offered options I'd divide by 3 when comparing to an RSU offer (i.e. expect 3X as many options as RSUs) which triples your leverage even if they're intrinsically not worth anything on receipt. And depending on the stage, that equity could easily be dramatically more valuable even if you get less to start. This is more of a question of how much leverage you have in your negotiation.

I highly recommend becoming friends with a recruiter wherever you work :) being able to find out what you should be making next time is a super-power, and they're generally super fun and friendly people!

The crux of web3 is the UX, last mile, and/or listing problem: even if you, hypothetically, could find a decentralized solution for every centralized one, the last interface to this mechanism will be centralized.

Your UI (e.g. mobile app) is centralized so the best UI will eventually win because most end users care about UX or will enter this interface because they see a well paid ad. If this UI (e.g. a decentralized search engine interface) wants to censor some content then it will win over the decentralized protocol behind it.

"In the scientific literature EROIs for recent wind turbines normally vary between 20 and 50.[11][better source needed]. Data collected in 2018 found that the EROI of operational wind turbines averaged 19.8 with high variability depending on wind conditions and wind turbine size.[12] EROIs tend to be higher for recent wind turbines compared to older technology wind turbines. Vestas reports an EROI of 31 for its V150 model wind turbine.[13]"

IMHO, Freedom of speech is a very american concept, so I don't think it applies worldwide.
Nevertheless, adds are almost always authorized.
The issue is that you see one side versus the other, like the US is a football and two rival teams are fighting for possession of it. I mean, that might seem to be the case but it shouldn't be competitive, it needs to be co-operative.

Authoritarian people are going to find ways to be authoritarian no matter their political persuasion.
Uh, yes. Yes I would blame a search engine if its results predictably said <go do horrible thing> and likewise I don't recall any instance of Siri telling bored patrons to stick forks in electrical sockets.
Because experienced VCs know web 1.0 also started with decentralized / libertarian ideals, but ultimately early players built walled gardens and gatekeeping around the "world wide web".

They don't want to miss the web3 boat, and they're betting the web 1.0/web 2.0 playbooks still apply.

A physician probably learns the physiology of sweat glands, mechanisms for how the human body regulates sodium and potassium, and diseases caused by regulatory mechanisms not working. Unless they had an interest or read a study, I’m not sure I would expect a physician to know that, and in my experience a lot of physicians are reluctant to speculate.

Nutritionists and fitness coaches are much more willing to speculate in my experience, with the caveat that they may not have the same education as a scientist as a physician does.

It sounds like you will be happy with this decision.
It’s a very limited database that is very slow and scales poorly.
Turn off spam call detection, if possible. Let all calls not from contacts go to voicemail. Turn on voicemail transcription (unless you're concerned about the privacy implications). Spam calls rarely leave voicemails. Everyone else has been trained to leave a VM if there's an actual business or personal need to do so.

This is a very old problem. In the days of landlines, we screened our calls with the answering machine for this very reason.
Why do you believe that claim? What evidence do you have that it is true?
Why anyone ever took Snopes seriously for anything more important than wether Paul from the Wonder Years was Marilyn Manson defies comprehension.
Or even mention the “value” of the many DeFi apps that are available on the ethereum blockchain. What do they do?

My real question is: why would an investor want to put money into a company that doesn’t “own” the data from their customers? Do they even _have_ customers? What is their business model?

I know, I know - they make commissions on all those billions of transactions that will happen on the blockchain. Right? Is the value simply coming up with new ways to add cost to transactions?

I’m lost. Even when web2 was in an eyeballs race, I understood that you could monetize eyeballs with advertising (in what I considered a worst-case model).
And SaaS was an obvious model, even if Marc Benioff seemed to yell about it a lot.

What is a web3 business model outside of currency exchange?
What do you use for the transcription part? Paid library or something open? More curious on accuracy.
For the same reason a 17 year old can't go to a movie theater and watch an R rated movie by themselves. Society has said certain aspects of life (violence, sex, language) need to be restricted until people reach a certain age.
Might be politically incorrect to say but if you are a kid and your home living situation is one where you don't have access to the Internet and there is no public library that is nearby - chances are that your financial situation is quite poor.

If you are willing to invest your time in reading - then any book that is being targeted by the current culture war is very likely to be an inefficient use of your time. Focus on books that will generate maximum value for you to become a productive member of society, who can be rewarded for the value that you bring to an organization, or learn topics that will enable you to build a business that provides value to paying customers.

Inflation is rising and times are going to get tough for you and your family. Provocative topics are for rich kids.
Appreciated your third paragraph and 3rd link. I'm struggling with my own articulation about how NFTs dont intrinsically themselves add value and yet are being treated/described as such, and this helped clarify it a bit for me.
My theory:

Some people believe that this type of decentralization could be a force that can't be stopped by traditional companies and want to get in as soon as possible so they don't end up on the losing side of history.

Of course, rich people simply diversify their assets and crypto is just one of many bets they do, so it's not 100% sure this will happen.
I read this as yet another article stating how great web3 is going to be and how important the decentralization aspect is, without making it clear exactly why this is the case, and what concrete examples of things we'll be able to do with it (that we're unable to do today) are.

Web3 sounds to me like one of those soap opera startups PG talks about. They sound like a great idea when you propose them, but do people really want them in reality?

Smearing an entire group of people by claiming they’re exclusively “literal cultists” or scammers and providing no additional argument for such a strong claim is the definition of a low-quality comment.
You mean extremes like literally burning books [1], or banning a broad category of books from the largest bookstore in the world for ideological reasons [2], or using copyright to censor the most popular American children's author [3]?

I'm against censorship, and I think banning books from school libraries is ridiculous [4]. But a single school district in Texas banning a book is not really comparable with the scale and significance of the corporate/woke censorship.

[4]: A school library has limited space, and obviously can't hold all the books in the world, so the librarian have to make a choice. But selection should be based on things like what the students would like to read, exposure to a broad diversity of views, etc. instead of ideology.

Unfortunately that's not quite true. Milk (and other foodstuffs) are a requirement to live. People are "willing" to pay more for that because they don't really have many other options. So it's ripe for abuse.
Because you are legally obliged to tell the IRS of this crime they are not allowed to tell the police about it as then telling the IRS would be self incrimination against the 5th amendment.

Are you expected to work roughly the same amount in 3 or 4 days in this scenario? If so, it's not a draw for me (lots of employers let you just put in the hours when you want outside of meetings anyway)

If by 3 day work week you mean you're expected to work roughly 60% as much for 60% the pay, then yes, I'd be interested (but I'm not the person you replied to)

My older half sister was kidnapped repeatedly by her bio parents.

Legal custody seemed to be whomever had the kid in whichever state at any given time.

One episode ended when her bio dad showed up at air port with a shotgun and bio-mom had convinced the out of state police to be on her side. After a night in jail anyway.
Police made the bio-dad go home.

My mom tailed her at school for a few years. Stopping another attempt before it ended.

Was messed up every way possible.
You have to remember that at least for amazon, facebook and google, most of your wage comes from shares.

If you look at level.fyi you'll see that yes bonuses are between 10-25% of your wage, but your wage could make up less than 40% of your total take home money (once shares are taken into account.)
This what happens when no one gets fired for buying IBM/Oracle (or big enterprise company like Microsoft). From the link:

Instead of saving $70 million a year as planned, the report said that the cost to taxpayers to fix Phoenix's problems could reach a total of $2.2 billion by 2023.

In June 2011, IBM won the sole-source contract to set up the system, using PeopleSoft software, the original contract was for $5.7 million, but IBM was eventually paid $185 million.
Looking in from the outside, it looks like the Democrats are 50% centric and 50% leftist. Not sure where else you would put Bernie and friends if not "leftist".
I'd imagine there's some regulatory purpose for this, but really the IRS just does what every well-functioning customer support team should be doing - maintaining an extensive customer-driven FAQ.

When someone asks a question that requires clarification, they go get the answer through whichever channel(s) are required, then they not only respond directly to the customer (taxpayer) but they also format the response for public consumption.

If more companies treated documentation this way, life would be a whole lot easier.

How to fight procrastination

Behavior = Motivation + Ability + Trigger

If you're lacking motivation: build motivation by remind yourself "why" (even if it's just "so it's done" but could be "do my taxes so I don't go to jail"). Add personally meaningful reasons to the tasks. Remind yourself why you took on the task.

If you're lacking ability: break down the task, make a timeline, build the timeline backwards from the due-date.

If you're lacking a trigger (like a task that can be done "whenever"): Create a cue. A cue is what+when+where. Take <15mins to decide which subtask to start with. If you still can't decide after 15mins, pick one at random.

This is but one symptom of a larger curriculum disease being inflicted on schools across the country. "Just" providing a digital alternative to the book doesn't solve the root problem.
For whatever it’s worth, that’s how employers have done it for a decade or more. They’re a bit behind the times but I’m glad to hear it. The “everything is on the Internet” model Google champions is not as pragmatic for others.
It’s strange how we accept the removal of the patient’s agency in preferring or wanting to try a particular treatment.

The internet has put a lot of health and treatment information into the hands of laypeople that did not go into the medical profession. Some of those people are more than capable of making decisions for themselves, but the field of medicine doesn’t seem to account for this yet.
It’s a huge misconception that Meta is outpaying everyone.

If you’re willing to work in the Bay there are at least ten companies that will consistently beat them. Check levels.fyi

For remote, I’m not sure, maybe Meta is best but unclear exactly what their remote situation is. I’ve read you’re second class citizen to MPK.

Meta obviously pays super well but that’s reflective of SV paying well, they don’t stand out. They are just a better known brand. In fact despite their “toxic” brand I think they still have quite a strong overall engineering brand and many engineers interview there precisely because it “looks good on the resume.” This is especially true for the international crowd. Often times people only interview at famous companies and don’t realize the better options.

Somehow FAANG has gotten reputation for being the king of compensation when none of those companies stand out, strong consumer brands and huge market caps putting them on finance radars is why they get talked about. FAANG as a term was coined by a stock analyst.

Of course any individual case can vary a ton and Meta has deep pockets if they desperately want you, I’m just talking about standard IC senior E5 and staff E6 engineers.

I’m not saying anyone has to move to the Bay or optimize their life for money, I’m just noting that if you do want the “cheddar” but don’t like Meta, you’re in luck. Many other companies will outpay them, I speak from experience as an IC engineer in the Bay whose spoken with many others who get offers.

The IRS got mixed up in anti-mob activity in Chicago. They couldn't get anything to stick locally, but they could get them on tax evasion. They didn't have to prove the money was obtained by a particular crime, they just had to prove they hadn't paid taxes on it.

Sure and it's still at the public library. This isn't a public library where parents take their kids and approve of the books they are getting. This is a middle school library where books are curated to the audience of middle schoolers. Same reason there isn't porn mags at middle school libraries...

The text generated and written by Facebook says:

> False information

next paragraph:

> Checked by independent fact-checkers

If you want to get to subtle and critical distinctions, a straightforward reading of the above is: "this is false information. the fact that it is false was checked by independent fact-checkers."

A reasonable reading is that facebook labels the information as false and that that was *confirmed* by fact-checkers.

If they mean to say: "fact checkers labeled this as false and so we are hiding this information" then they should say so plainly, no?

This was the author's response to that.

"She had strung together phrases from all over a chapter, but I still recognized the passage immediately. Creating it was painful, one of many times in writing fiction that I’ve had to depict harm that I wish did not exist in the world. Told from the perspective of the senior class at an all-white high school, the section of the novel that Bell pulled from captures the crude fantasies and dehumanizing attitudes that swirl around my main character, the only Mexican American in her school in 1930s New London, Texas. I represent these views in the book so that I can reveal their toxic effect; I don’t endorse them."

What is this "pure Web 3.0 vision" you talk about? As originally meant by Gavin Wood, Web3 is an idea or concept, not a particular technology. If it's using http (the protocol) or not has nothing to do with that particular meaning of Web3, so maybe you're referring to something else, as I have not yet heard about this "pure Web 3.0 vision" you talk about.
Would that logic be applied to the bible? It has rape, murder and violence.
public data isn't going to keep things decentralized because data isn't the only thing that matters, if anything it matters less and less. Core part of what large internet services do is process data and provide services built on top of a lot of compute.

We have big internet companies because processing that amount of information is computationally expensive and thus centralization is the economic solution. Not even traditional p2p solutions have yet been able to compete with large entities, and 'web3' with its crypto solutions is substantially worse because it's computationally more expensive by design.

Not to mention there's also the fairly obvious point that a lot of those companies exist by processing data that is inherently private because users demand it to be so. Nobody is willingly going to put their chat messages on the blockchain to be read by the public.
Simple observation: The huge difference in infection rates between Democratic and Republican areas--far more than can be accounted for by the vaccination rate. That says behavior (masks + distancing) is definitely a substantial factor.

Also note the much smaller effect of mask mandates--it's compliance that matters, not merely the rules.
