I'm still not convinced that the symptoms described in the article can be considered a disorder, any more than 'not exercising' can be a disorder. He's choosing to do certain things and not do other things. The consequences are bad. But is that a mental illness problem, or just that the consequences aren't bad enough, the behavior not repugnant enough, and thus he doesn't care enough? With a gun to his head, would he do his errands? Under threat of immediate termination from work? I'm guessing yes. So at what point is that a mental disorder and not just him deciding to not do things he doesn't want to do?

Philosophically, how can we say that a person's poor choices of behavior are mental disorders when they don't even lead to life threatening outcomes? Is smoking a mental disorder? He wishes he could quit, but keeps buying packs. Is being fat a mental disorder? He wishes he was thin, but doesn't exercise and keeps eating pizza. Is simply not grinding leetcode a mental disorder? He wants a higher salary, yet doesn't even practice leetcode or interview questions.

He wants to stop procrastinating his work, but he watches YouTube instead until all the work simply must be done in a long all-nighter. Is this a mental disorder? Apparently to a lot of people, yes, this is ADHD! You need lifelong medication now; your brain doesn't work right! No, this doesn't sound quite right to me.

Addiction is real, and he likely really is addicted to the internet. That's a real problem he should fix. And it may be that ADHD medication helps him fix it; I've taken Adderall for a period of time and it certainly fixed any procrastination tendencies I had as well (I don't have ADHD). But if we're going to make the case that medication helps and thus it should be taken, why do we need to pretend it's about a mental disorder? It helps me focus and perform better at work, so it should be available to me, no? Or does its help have to meet an arbitrary level of helpfulness to be permitted?

Basically, I'm not convinced ADHD is anything more than a label delineating one end of a spectrum of self determination. The cutoff seems arbitrary, and there is a lot of reverse engineering to arrive at the end result of medication: He would be helped by Adderall, thus he must have ADHD, thus his procrastination is actually a mental disorder and not just being lazy. We can go down that road as a society, but I prefer the road where we just collectively admit, "Yeah I'm lazy so I take a pill and it helps," without the veneer of noble medicine curing Real Disorders.
This was their old marketing:

get fucked eric, all slavers must be killed, you have no idea how secure food or shelter are for me, motherfucker. you think because i'm able to get here and talk to you that i'm in a situation like yours, and not facing homelessness or starvation? fuck you scum
>Return is directly correlated to risk

This is really what should be required as the boldface disclaimer on every investment product.

"10-15 % guaranteed return" has another name...fraud....even in the case of old-school imperial plunder, there is always the risk your target might fight back.
The biggest problem here is this "full cost, because it was out-of-network" nonsense. I don't understand how healthcare networks are legal – they essentially create two separate medical systems, one of might not accept your so-called "insurance" at all.

I know that universal coverage is a pipe dream in the US, but making these coverage networks illegal and forcing insurers to cover procedures at the same rate regardless of network would be a good first step. And it should be a bipartisan issue as well, somehow I don't see conservatives clamoring to keep paying higher prices for ambiguously defined "networks".

People think there are 21M Bitcoin, but they have no idea how many millions have been lost forever already, and how many will continue to be lost going forward.

I wonder how many of those 27% are lost.
yes according to modern media sentiment. Never once have I watched a movie that argued for the antithesis of the "Avatar" respect nature mantra. I mean even without the warmongering factories are never portrayed in a positive light unless they're Willy Wonka's.
No, it's because Apple phones have margin. They make money. Their competitors desperately want to make money.

They make their money selling phones wholesale into retailing supply chains. One of the rules of those supply chains is that the OEM eats the costs of early returns.

So they removed every widget that they possibly could and then glued everything down so that it could not possibly come loose, be dropped, wedged etc. during the warranty period.

Battery doors, headphone jacks, you name it. All gone.

End customers don't seem to care. Phones with swappable batteries, headphone jacks, etc. exist. They don't sell well in high margin markets.
Seriously!

I know this may be an unpopular opinion on this site in particular, but after seeing this I would never even consider raising money from YC. I would not be comfortable having the fate of my business in any way tied to a group of people that are so fucking dumb that they invested in the money version of a perpetual motion machine.

Seriously, this is the fucking stupidest thing I’ve seen in _YEARS_

By the time anything could be finished, much cheaper renewables will render any such plant redundant. Spending $billions on a plant that will be cancelled partway is unappealing. None of the money is ever given back.

> Did you want to get all the quality but at the low-ball price? Doesn't work that way.

This is patently false. Look at innovation in things like TVs and personal computers. Technology has gotten significantly cheaper and significantly better quality (although TVs have started to decline in recent years).

I understand your sentiment but I don't think it's impossible to ask for innovation to allow old products to be created cheaper without compromising on quality.
If you are in the U.S. and lost money, please write to your state's Attorney General [1].

The company is Stablegains, Inc. and the people to name are Kamil Ryszkowski and Emil Rasmessen, co-founders and, I think, Board members. Copy Ken Paxton, Office of the Attorney General, P. O. Box 12548, Austin, Texas as well as his challenger George P. Bush at P. O. Box 26677, also in Austin. (Stablegains and its founders are in Texas. They are spearheading the criminal complaint.)

I prefer go to chess.Each piece is the same. There is no hierarchy. The goal isn't to topple a king. The goal is to get more territory. It's easier to teach a child the rules, but it is more difficult to master because there are more possibilities of how the game can play out. Concepts involve influence, pacing, feinting, planning, etc.
Do you have a source for the misleading marketing?

Feb. 2, 2022 [1]: "Stablegains' 15% APY is earned using Anchor Protocol, a decentralized lending market."

This is in a giant blue block right above a "get started" link. There is no mention of anything other than Anchor being used to store investor funds.

It seems to me that you are trying to twist the post-crash retrospective into a marketing statement that didn't simply exist before the crash. Where, exactly, is the lie?

This seems like a very useless definition of cooperation from the perspective of the discussion that we are having. Sure, following same rules is some form of high level cooperation but You could equally easy switch sport to something more extreme - war would be good example I suppose - and try to convince me that if both sides are abiding by Geneva Convention while killing each other then this is an equally good analogy.

I think that there is place for better, more sophisticated economic systems, that combines rules from current systems. The problem is that ideology is standing it their way.

There was a point where I had most of my work and ideas in Devonthink. Then I noticed that a few important files had somehow vanished. I don’t know for sure if this was due to the software, but it unnerved me, and I moved to Obsidian.

I used DT primarily as a knowledgebase/notes app; I never found its smart features to be particularly useful. Nowadays, I’d definitely recommend Notion over DT.

Of course, I was obviously unclear. My point was it is also possible to design a phone which is waterproof, thin etc and also has a battery which is replaceable with a screwdriver. There is a wide margin between "field swappable battery" (which I do actually like, but accept it comes with some compromise) and glued shut like iPhones are. My (unpopular) comment was merely an attempt to point out the false dichotomy; you don't need to buy a FairPhone just to avoid this practice - my Unihertz Titan, an obscure Chinese phone with IP67 waterproofing, has four magnificently large philips-head screws up the edges.
We (the kids in our neighborhood) learned gambling at a young age. For some, this was associated with compulsive behaviors, criminal misconduct via mafia-associated illicit gambling rackets, and further organized criminal activities.

Gambling is a vice. Where there is a vice, other vices exist.

I agree with your comment primarily but suspect that the influence on life outcome of learning gambling at a young age is environmentally and culturally dependent.
The MPA/SPA dichotomy as is often presented is nonsensical.

Sites built in Next, Remix, or whatever work perfectly well as MPA. Astro merely goes a step further.

Pure SPA (as in a literal single route, maybe with horrible # based routing) is exceedingly rare and mainly found in legacy Angular code bases.
That's doing it almost correctly. The correct way to do truthiness is not to do it at all. `nil` should not be automatically coerced to `bool`.

Probably for the same reason we don't see massively expanding horse carriage industry. Nuclear is on the way out despite enormous government subsidies. Just fundamentally too burdensome, expensive, and outcompeted by modern tech.
> > "funnily enough, whenever I bring this point up with those who claim the West is "prolonging suffering" by supporting Ukraine, they never concede that France and UK's decision at the time would be consistent with their claimed non-interventionism, nor that the USSR prolonged suffering by supporting the eventually defeated Spanish Republic."

> > "What is their usual counterargument?"

One that stuck to my mind was, believe it or not, that an internal armed coup against a democratic government does carry the moral obligation of other democracies to intervene and defend it if said government requests it—which is not the case apparently when a democratic government requests support to defend itself from a neighbouring state which invades it without the slightest provocation. It's basically all post-hoc rationalisations of their emotional beliefs.
Can you point to the docs? That seems an interesting read.
Would you care to elaborate your thinking?

We still have way to little solar in general. We also don't have huge areas were we want to just put solar panels.

At least I thought or still think that in countries like Germany it makes total sense, even in the very long run, to keep solar locally on your roof.

Also those panels don't loose there value just because they are 20 years old. They will produce less but they will be paid of at that time. So why would I abandone them at all?

It would only make sense if suddenly energy overall becomes totally cheap from your proposed solar farms.

But that would I Claude not only energy like power but also heating.

As soon as energy hits rock bottom my assumption is that heating will be the last big energy consumer.
I found the explanation here to be excellent: https://privacypass.github.io/protocol/

The notation is for an elliptic curve group where capital letters represent points and ‘multiplication’ is exponentiation. The magic extra fact is that it is currently and believed to be very hard to work out s from T and sT (for the curve they use).
It doesn’t. Chargemaster rates are meant to be slashed 50-90% when they get to the insurance company.

We got a bill for $560 today that $500 worth just… disappeared when insurance said “nah”, because that’s the deal the two of them have.

If you don’t have insurance, or they pull the “it’s not covered” you get to fight the hospital yourself.
It's a standard, but it isn't a universal standard. Know the difference.

Until a standard has both been accepted by a significant majority, and there has been plenty of time for the standard to be adopted, it's bad to simply turn on a feature and say, "screw you" to everyone who has an older device or computer that can't run the latest software.

Serving different files to different user agents is not desirable, sure, but it's better than this crap - have the latest or it doesn't work. You know this, I think.

So is it that people are shitty and elitist, or is that people are just ignorant? If the former, then we can't change that - people will be shitty if they choose to be shitty. Sounds like you advocate for that.

If people are just ignorant about the fact that their web site doesn't work on older phones, tablets, Macs, or older non-Chrome browsers, then they should be told.
Anyone. All I saw was the link to some guy raving on twitter in a long series of tweets. Should have went with the book link, would have made him seem more credible.
So if you intend for the con to survive longer than it did you're in the clear? Interesting.
that would be easy if there was an AWS for Food!

Here is the reality, not only the grains but the inputs like fertilizers etc are sky-rocketing. Every body wants to piss of Fossil Fuels with out even understanding how foundational they are to Modern Civilization (I welcome the downvotes but I will not stop advocating).

Say, with me, N P K - Nitrogen Phosphorous Pottasium. Belarus is a major Potash supplier, Natural gas is important for Fertilizer production etc. These inputs are now expensive.

But the policy genius, LOVE Price Controls, so what prices do these guys love controlling, they target staples .. grains, rice etc.

Now if you are farmer, who has to invest more money given the increased cost of fertilizers etc. and the government will come and take away the grain below market rate -- are you going to play the game? That is the game in much of the developing world.. and to some extend even developed world.

So your AWS style solution of spinning another EC2 instance for Food does not work in the real world.
Where did you spend time? In the Russian-majority region or in the Ukrainian majority one?
Oh, by that definition, even AAPL is a pyramid schema.

How about we leave the definition for pyramid scheme where it's already at?

> Pyramid scheme: making money based on recruiting an ever-increasing number of "investors."

No, it won't. It won't regain the trust of the community and the project is dead in the water now, no way it'll recover from this.

The best explaination Ive seen (from HN I think) was that the Terra/Luna thing was an attempt to tranche the 'asset'. So Luna (junior tranche) has the risk and potential returns, whereas Terra is supposed to be less risky, less returns (Senior tranche). See MBS, CDO, CDO^2, etc.
`f(x)` works just fine. As far as I can see, the entire point of their \f macro is to let you write `\f\hat x` instead of `\hat{f}(x)`.

Leaving aside whether that's a good idea, it's not at all clear why the example then goes on to use `\f\relax{x}` to display a function with no diacritic in its name. The diacritic was the only reason to use \f in the first place. And the advertised definition, `#1f(#2)`, doesn't only require \relax when you want to omit a diacritic. It also prevents you from doing perfectly normal things like `f\left( something-hairy \right)`.

I heard this phrase many times, but I really don't understand what it means.

Aside from being stated in extremely dogmatic form - like a claim to the ultimate truth - what, exactly, do we learn from this statement? To me (aside from being probably just an incorrect artistic exaggeration), it sounds like something ridiculously trivial, like "all people live different lives, but everyone dies" (ok, so what?) or "we all like different foods but all of us have to breathe air" (truly a genius observation).

Is there some deeper meaning to this that I'm missing?

I studied in US and one of my classmates from Norway was mildly hit by a car when she was biking. Just to be sure she did not break the leg she took an x-ray. The bill accidentally was send to her address with a request for $8000 (luckily covered by insurance).

We almost don’t pay anything in Norway in comparison, I think the maximum yearly amount is $150 if you have to go a lot to the hospital.

I have operated my arms several times after different action sports accidents as a child, with no cost (under 18years you don’t even pay the $150).

Such a peace of mind to know we have good health service if we need it. Possible reasons why we kick ass in winter sports?

Healthcare could be better compared to some of the most advanced cancer treatments in US, but not sure if most Americans can get them?
I actually hate New York Style pizza, and one of the reasons is the crust is so thin and flat.

I hate React because it’s a library, not an opinionated framework. I don’t want to choose a library for basic stuff over and over again and care if it was a good decision and will it be maintained in the next few months. And it doesn’t include TypeScript out of the box what leads to a handful of untyped projects on which I have zero willingness to work on. Even with types, from my experience culture of ‘type as much as you can’ is much stronger amongst Angular devs rather than React ones.

The "intent" that is necessary is the intent to benefit from the known misrepresentation, which in this case Stablegains did by obtaining investment from these customers.

It would be ludicrous to suggest that Stabelgains needed to "intend" the end result (ie, "catastrophically fail and lose all of their customers funds") for it to be fraud.
