I would warn you against taking the responses that you read on here (including this one) as an objective sample -- HN is not representative of the broader world, and (just like with product reviews) your sample may be biased towards people who either LOVE them or HATE them (and are thus motivated to comment).

However, I can tell you some references that helped me become much less stressed about SSRIs and their friends, and indeed if they were indicated by a doctor I would now take them much more readily.

Scott Alexander (pen name) is a psychiatrist (MD) and all-around smart due who writes extensively about the medical system, medicine for mental health, and the challenges these systems create. He has an excellent series of blog posts which review the data :

https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/11/07/ssris-an-update/

It's scary to take drugs which alter your mental state. I don't drink and have never done any sort of recreational drug for this reason. But Scott helped convince me that both it was both possible that SSRIs would help me and unlikely that they would cause long-term damage.
Viva doesn't tell you about your productivity. It reminds you about meetings you were in and commitments and follow-ups you might want to tend to.

So what happens if, say, Firefox refuses to include these CA's by default?

If Mozilla has EU-based physical locations, would they be fined? With seizing of servers, real estate, bank accounts, etc. on EU territory if the fines aren't paid?

What if Mozilla has no permanent physical presence on EU territory? Could they still be fined? What happens if they ignore the fine? Could Mozilla executives on vacation in Europe, or technical staff presenting at European conferences, be arrested?

Would EU-based websites be legally required to block Firefox user agents? Would they be required to implement network-level firewalling of websites for downloading Firefox? Would it become illegal for EU residents to donate to Mozilla, or would the EU banking system be obligated to divert those donations to pay Mozilla's backlog of EU fines?

Would individual users on EU territory be subject to fines or arrest for running a browser without the QWAC root CA? What if they changed the browser settings, or recompiled the source code, to remove the QWAC root CA from the trust list?

Would it be illegal for Firefox to put QWAC on the trust list, but implement some sort of local "security enhancement proxy" whose sole purpose is to deny access to sites that use the QWAC CA?

Yes, I'm borrowing that specific book from a friend who is really into functional programming, but I haven't read it.

It does look like Idris helps make it especially straightforward to write correct code and know when you've done so.
Let’s forget any bridges to physical assets for a minute; cryptocurrencies, or more broadly scarce digital assets, have an unfathomably large TAM. More and more of our lives are being spent online instead of dealing with real world assets, giving increasing value to the GDP of digital assets over time.
First, the entire financial system can and will be made digital, making every dollar you deal with every day a digital asset that can falls under blockchain TAM.
Then, you have all online goods: virtual game items, ad space, Twitter handles, memberships, subscriptions, metaverse property, virtual conference tickets, certificates, domain names, hell it turns out people even want to trade JPEGs as scarce digital assets. There are probably things that I can’t even imagine today that will one day be tokenized digital assets that can be traded on blockchains.

Sure, plenty of the mentioned items can run more efficiently on a centralized database but the question then becomes, “whose centralized database?”
Blockchain is the only solution that provides credibly neutral and publicly interoperable accounting of digital assets, which could one day be 50% of the world economy.

When Companies Feel Stressed
Stripe is pre-IPO so any valuation is internal given there's no public market to set a value for it.

It would matter in case they try to raise capital again in the future. By lowering the valuation they make the company cheaper to invest.
I'm a residency trained pharmacist and someone whose life was improved immensely by antidepressants from ages 19 - 37(bupropion x 10+ years, SSRI x 2 years, SNRI x 5 years). These drugs will change your affect (your mood) but not your intellect.

I am also currently not on medication x 2 months for the first time in about 18 years, so I have seen myself both on and off meds and I have a deep mechanistic understanding of these drugs.

I promise you that no drug that you can take can make any permanent changes to *edit* to your mind (there are rare cases unrelated to SSRI where side effects like tardive dyskinesia or pulmonary fibrosis can be irreversible). The SSRI have about a 4-6 week period of onset and offset where the extra serotonin floating around starts to cause fewer serotonin receptors to be expressed and subsequently enhances your brain's sensitivity to serotonin. It is for this reason that you do not see results overnight when starting a serotonergic drug.

Stopping the drug, a similar effect is seen. I had about a week of slight discomfort related to withdrawal symptoms, then 2-3 weeks of feeling a bit slower than normal, and now I feel just fine. Throughout this whole brain remodeling process both on and off meds, I never lost a step at work, which is to say that I maintained excellent performance as a midlevel practitioner and maintained several side hustles and even started a consulting business.

My honest interpersonal advice (not medical advice) is to give meds a try man. Your life has been severely affected by your mental state, and you could potentially see significant improvement....but even if you dont, you'll stop the drug and be no worse off than when you started.
Always "mentioned", always irrelevant.

Obviously if you will rely on wind or solar for baseline, you will need to build out storage. And, equally obviously, you don't waste money building out storage you don't yet have capacity to charge up.

Paying a subscription charge for heated seats is just the tip of the iceberg example from today's headlines.

It is an exemplar of the rot in our society that increasingly demonstrates the items you purchase you don't own nor can you repair them and that no meaningful privacy exists.

Perhaps this less "first world" example that follows from the same rot will appease you.

Once upon a time, farmers owned the equipment and seeds they purchased and harvested. Now, they own nothing.

Try reselling or harvesting and re-planing seeds from your crop this year and Monsanto will see you in court even if those crops grew from seeds carried onto your property by the wind. Those seeds and all future generations belong to them not the farmer.
To set the stage.. except the bathing and teeth thing, I'm you, just 10 years older. I didn't want the medicine. I did therapy, worked out, ran a bunch, I look like I go to the gym, I don't smoke or drink, all of the typical stuff you read as alternatives. I have 2 kids, solid marriage, CEO of a company, loving parents, no issues outside of my own head.

But my life has been out of control for years.

I started 20mg escitalopram three months ago and it changed my life. I'm no longer scared of leaving my house. I'm more focused and get tasks done quickly. A lot of my lockup moments in business and life was over analyzing everything endlessly which I was told a OCD based anxiety. Now making decisions is a quick process. My kids don't have to worry that I'm not joining them in fun on the weekends. I'm not chronically tired. I don't feel grey, or zombie, or anything else you may have read. I feel me again.

Try it. Take it for 60 days and see. You can always get off of it.

I think with complex policy questions, we have to draw finer distinctions than "were you wrong?"

- did you make a reasonable decision with the information available at the time, but later evidence showed that another decision would likely have had better outcomes?

- did you make a poor decision which missed or disregarded information available when you made the choice?

- did you make a choice which was appropriate for your declared aims at the time, but now priorities have changed?

These decisions _are_ complex. That doesn't mean we can't find fault and demand improvement. But I think it's not constructive to merely highlight the negative outcomes; we have to find better processes which would make smarter choices next time.

You can conditionally deploy resources by setting the count on most resources. So you can have an environment variable with something like has_cache. Then in your terraform use a ternary or something to set the count to 1 if has_cache is true and 0 if it’s false. I have done this without much fuss.
> One, why would you ever want more of a growth company that is shrinking 13 years in with no exit in sight.

Because if your given a fixed dollar amount of shares, and the overall evaluation goes down, you get a higher percentage of ownership.

Why would you want this? In the event that there is an exit, I presume the payout is better.

Public companies are also declining currently if you're using valuation to determine growth. And some of these are 20+ year old companies.

> Two, you miss out on 3 years of upside relative to a 4-year grant. It’s a terrible deal, but I see why they’d want to give it.

This only true assuming things keep going up. Which as we can see, is not true. It's not a "terrible deal". It's a more risk averse deal. If you started a new job at a company in the last 6-12 months and were granted 4 years of stock at a higher price, then stripes offering probably looks pretty good right now.
Wow. That’s terrible. How long did it take for you to recover from that experience? My current situation has me so cynical that I’m withdrawing from all my interviews… it’s such a daunting process that I don’t want to go through all this multiple times
According to Structure of Scientific Revolutions this isn't true; people hold onto silly ideas firmly for their entire lives, and they have to be discredited either by a revolution or retiring so they can't fight for it anymore.

Linguistics being an example where ideas about grammar are only accepted because Chomsky is still around forcing everyone to accept them; AI language models don't seem to follow them.
The idea is that you had the courage to get near enough to a lion to die by it, but you're just a speck of dust to a plane flying a nuclear warhead.
It's different for everyone. I can't stress that enough. But for me, it's amazing. It's like a silver bullet. It literally makes me happy. I know people say it's artificial happiness, etc etc but it really legitimately allows me to be happy. My stress levels go way down, and my self discipline increases. It doesn't turn me to a zombie-- I was a zombie before compared to now. Always distracted and held behind by my anxiety and difficulties expressing myself.

I get why people do drugs-- they make people feel good instead of bad. But this stuff feels like a cheat code. It makes me feel good all of the time. From the perspective of a my old depressed self, feeling neurotypical like this is like being high all the time. I should also state I've only been on it about 6 months, so long term experience is to be seen.

There are also other options, if you're willing to try. Exercise of course can be a big help. Cold showers totally eliminate my depression as well. Wim Hof breathing was life changing in terms of anxiety, though I would never have in a million years thought that a breathing exercise could help me. There are some supplements, like Saffron and Kanna, out there than can help as well. I use some of these, and together they enormous difference.
I'm not familiar with this. Are you referring to common vs preferred shares?
Not sure if you've heard the term before but it's a real thing and it doesn't just mean "party zone": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_city. More or less the effect of being a world city that's an economic/financial hub is that you have an emergent 24/7 network of services operational to support it.

> except in a few specific areas

Yeah that's what I meant. I don't mean "the whole city is awake". I mean that there are amenities available in certain areas more or less 24/7, because of the density, there is a critical mass of 2nd and 3rd shift workers, and other "off-hours" workers who have different schedules and make use of it.

Colossal investment in transmission infrastructure would be a much better bet than investing in nuclear. It would pay off the way that colossal investments in highways, railroads and fiber have. Betting on nuclear is like choosing circuit switching over packet switching for your network. A fear driven anxiety about reliability that prevents people from understanding that a new way of doing things is possible.
I don't have anything negative to say about escitalopram at all (it helps me, no drawbacks for me) but I do want to point out that 20mg is not the recommended starting dose.
Agreed. ML (a component of AI) faces the same issue today as it always has, outliers, i.e. the real world.
"The decentralized market of ideas will address the "quacks" in the room" This used to be the case, it no longer is in the time of social media. The voices of the quacks are amplified and they gain legions of followers. Just look at the rise of Q as an example and the current political climate. Any crazy fact can be thrown out and if it supports their world view, a good percentage of people will believe it without looking any deeper than what the guy on Twitter said.
The problem you're describing is sometimes called the "ACL Aware Indexing" problem [1]. In a permissions service based on Zanzibar, this can partially be solved by walking the permissions graph in a reverse fashion: SpiceDB exposes this API as the LookupResource API [2]. However, even this approach has performance implications for very large datasets, so we're also working on improving resource lookup via a LookupWatch API [3], which can be used by consumers to actively cache the available set of resources as access changes over time.

How in God's name are there so many of these crypto companies? This post has 3 that I've never heard of, and the rest of this thread probably has a dozen more. Is the startup cost of these things near zero or something?
> I think its so difficult because there are so many layers of abstraction and you really need some basic electronics knowledge

I think you really should go "top down" not "bottom up" for something like this.

If you get stuck around gates then you've taught people nothing. If you start at the top and get stuck after "network packets" then hopefully people at least understand the internet better.
OpenBSD pledges aren’t normally used for child processes, they’re more for “okay this program has super well-defined needs, let’s make sure (in its own source code) that it won’t be able to do anything else”. So a wrapper program wouldn’t really be normal usage.

For those in California, Assembly Bill 168 was passed in October, 2017, effective January 1, 2018. Section 432.3 was added to the Labor code, which includes:

Wow. That was a very good read, and it had an ending -- precisely your point, I imagine. Thanks!
massive confounding variables in this study, its almost laughable.
It "works", but with negative side effects whose impact you seem to be underestimating the importance of. Meanwhile it's quite easy to encourage people to speak up more (and to take risks while doing so) via other, infinitely more decent and respectful means.
> Many family members of mine inherently don‘t understand E-Mail or messaging like WhatsApp. They think their Mail or texting app on the phone receives a text and don‘t understand the client/server model and how packages are getting send through the internet.

What does it matter if they don’t understand this?

I barely understand this and as far as I’m concerned the mail app on my phone does receive messages even if I “get” the concept of a server somewhere doing something.
Looks awesome! But I have to ask, if all file transfers are being done locally, why the end to end encryption?

A user would have much bigger problems if their LAN has been compromised. I assume turning off the encryption would speed up the transfers, especially if moving things between rusty disks.
DC did a pilot on led streetlight rollout & people very much complained about the much higher color temperature.

Alas the city was like, ok, we'll go lower, & specified like 3500k color temperature in their public-private partnership to rollout leds. Which is still way way way way bluer than the 2200K or thereabout that a typical nice HPS bulb would emit. The city utterly failed to explore if the new spec would be sufficiently better. Miserable punks!

Frustration is an emotion which seems to be ever increasing against a monolith that is the internet, where your voice doesn't feel like it matters, because you can't see the reaction of anyone.
Yep 100% agree. And the good news is that we are moving closer every day to having tools that make proving code correct practical. Languages like Idris, Agda, Liquid Haskell, F* (F-star), LEAN etc. are spearheading this movement. If Rust had Refinement Types added it would turn it into a killer language for writing correct high performance code.
Ukraine has had two elections since then, hasn't kept the people elected in 2014 (Zelensky was elected as the the pro-Russia candidate), certainly didn't like the corrupt Yanukovych who you're claiming the US couped, and the US has been giving Ukraine distance weapons like HIMARS so… no?

Though, Poroshenko (the guy who was elected in 2014 post-revolution and is some kind of chocolate factory oligarch) fled the country over a prosecution but has since come back to fight in the national guard, so it seems like even he's in favor of it.
It seems like you're under a misapprehension that there is some mutually exclusive tradeoff of "vaccine vs infection" to be made, but this is not the case. It's well established now that natural immunity is more effective and longer lasting than the vaccines. And again there's no point in the infectivity comparison because whether someone is vaccinated or not makes no difference to their odds of contracting or spreading Covid -- if anything, the current level of case rates in highly vaccinated countries vs less vaccinated ones suggests the vaccines have made infection more likely.
Dhall desperately needs a DefinitelyTyped-like repo with tooling support and it's bound to explode. It'd be just too good of a solution to ignore.
You can lie, and lie, and lie. You might even get somebody to believe you, but it says more about you than about the topic.

Wind and solar are not, in fact, environmental disrupters. Waste panels are not an environmental hazard, and are in fact extremely valuable. Anyone not warehousing their dead panels is an idiot.

Nukes are lately the darling of big coal, because they guarantee another ten years of sales that in total exceed the cost of that much solar generation capacity. Spent on solar, it would displace the coal immediately.
The F150 accident was two young people manually driving their vehicle into a barrier off the road, likely while intoxicated, and not wearing seatbelts. Different scenario. Also, the media reported on both situations, did mean the tesla one was picked up nationally?
