I am past my edit window, so I can neither delete the post above or edit it, but the replies that suggested I read the article kindly submitted here too hurriedly are correct. Sorry about that. On second reading, I think the doctor who wrote this article is trying to assimilate the latest research on long-term effects of antipsychotic drugs. The headline writer indeed didn't do her argument justice. I should have looked past the framing of the argument from the headline and dug more into the details before replying. I agree with her that it is a good idea to have a direct conversation with patients and ask, "Now that you've been on your medications for a while, and you are aware of the difference between your thought processes when you weren't treated, and your thought processes now, do you dare to reduce your medication dose, or stop it entirely, in view of the side effects from the medication you are experiencing?" That is a reasonable question for a physician to ask, and doesn't presuppose an answer from the patient.

Thanks to the participants here who openly disagreed with me and prompted me to read the article a second time when I didn't have an appointment rushing me out the door.
I have pressed F12 and I have not seen logs send to Facebook servers.
I have had a friend on antipsychotics, she basically told me that the side effects match the disease. She has since stopped taking the drugs and has focused pretty much entirely on simply "ignoring" her disease. For the most part she seems alright, she is a loner and doesn't leave the house much, but has and is working so she seems alright...

Further, one interesting story is that of John Nash [1], he essentially just lives with his disease and managed to suppress it almost entirely.

So twitter should replace R&W DM to just R DM permission, because W DM comes automatically with R&W Tweets. Isn't it.. so wrong?
Well given that homakov has found this bug, there are a few possibilities:

A. Homakov could do nothing. This leaves Twitter in the same state that it is now, but it if everybody did this, it is likely that nefarious people would find and exploit bugs in Twitter

B. Homakov could donate his time, as a skilled and highly-trained professional consultant, to a $32bn publicly-traded company

C. Homakov could practice full disclosure

This isn't even close to blackmail. This is a security consultant publishing a vulnerability that he discovered on his own time, that apparently Twitter's internal security team missed. That might be embarrassing for Twitter, but tha'ts hardly homakov's problem as a third party.
I routinely carry microSD cards filled with 16GB of random numbers.
Balancing potential benefits from antipsychotics against problematic side-effects is news to exactly zero people in the mental health field. Not everyone gets better when put on antipsychotics, but this doesn't mean a given individual has no hope.

Antipsychotics, like any medication, need to be monitored and modified as time goes on. Not working? Change course. Building up an immunity? Perhaps increase dose, perhaps change drug. Side effects worse than the ailment? Perhaps try alternate therapies (or use them in conjunction), perhaps assign another drug to control the side effects.

What I find frustrating is discussing with doctors that not all focusing difficulties are caused by depression. I do experience periods of (unipolar) depression.

One thing that I notice among "smart" people is that its easy to burn-out.

My only real advice is aim to do things that your passionate about. Two examples that come to mind is Elon Musk[1][2], who clearly enjoys building rockets and electric cards, and Mitch Altman[3] who enjoys making cool things. Elon Musk hasn't commented publicly on ADHD specifically. Mitch is well known for his public discussions on depression.

Not sure if I completely understood your requirements, but you can add several custom domains (number depends on the plan) to your account, create mailboxes and aliases for them and can send and receive from those addresses as well.

Those are added to your account and can be accessed as individual mailboxes or via the unified inbox. They are not separate accounts with separate logins. Enterprise grade account management would be a feature to add at some point in the future.
No they don't, that headline is very misleading and is a huge misinterpretation of the paper. For a small portion of the userbase, Facebook detect IF they self-censor and just transmit that. They only see metadata, and not the actual contents of the message.
This reminds me of "The 1/2 News Hour". It an attempt by Fox News to replicate the success of the Daily Show by making a comedy news show from a conservative perspective. Predictably, the show was so tone-deaf and unfunny that it completely failed and was quietly shut down.

and that Apple is God

This is not my view at all. I would buy from any vendor that's willing to drop legacy features such as upgradability in favor of improving the device for people. Apple is the only company that currently does that, so that's why I think their stuff is so hot.

I was wishing for a 15" portable without optical storage for years before Apple delivered it with the current retina MacBook Pro model.

But, hey, you can't please everyone. I bet I'm going to be that guy with a 20-year-old computer who's running nothing but a shell and complaining about how the transparent, glass-screened, ultra-thin tablets of the future don't have user-replaceable hard drives.

If you can think far enough to see this and formulate it in a sentence, as you have just done, then you don't have to become that guy. When you find yourself at odds with the world, you shouldn't instantly capitulate. But you should be ready to try to find out why people have a different view, and to change if what you find out necessitates it.

Back in the late 90s, I had a similar kind of animosity toward programming for the web. At the time, I thought Javascript was garbage, and traditional desktop apps would rule forever. Because I wasn't willing to actually look at the aspects of reality that were pertinent, the startup I did literally missed the web, which is one of the reasons it failed. (We used the browser as just a way to put up brochures about the software we were writing.) Now I write web apps for a living.

Don't get boxed in by your own stale, unchallenged assumptions about the outside world. Test them.

I started contributing to Mozilla lately and I'm amazed how good Bugzilla has become compared to when I last tried to use it (around 5 years ago). I'm also amazed at how effective Mozilla works with it.
How does this "punch down", exactly?

First of all, why are you implying women are beneath you?

And second, it's a handful of NEETs satirizing an established academic discipline and an extremely popular and powerful political movement. How in the name of the lord does that constitute "punching down"?
While Tesla benefits from electric vehicle tax credits, so do their established competitors. If tax incentives for wind power did not exist, GE would not be in that business - I suspect almost everything GE is involved in has significant tax credits.

Don't get me wrong, self-driving cars are the human advancement that I am most looking forward to.

I think they will both be extremely big changes in different ways. Autonomous cars will be one big impact that indirectly touches many industries. Robots are going to get into everything, and the world will look very different at the end of it.

Robots will do farming, cleaning, food preparation, fire rescues, surgery, manufacturing. Basically, whatever parts of the world software can't eat, robots probably can.
I'm not sure this author knows what Moore's law is. They seem to think it has to do with widespread adoption, which is a side effect of the real Moore's law.

Amphetamine is not a bad word, much like Nuclear, Fat or Hacker. It's all in how and what it is used for. I have no idea how much Ampetamine is in Crystal Meth or other illegal substances (Google wasn't very helpful with this, I'm sure as always, somebody here on HN knows), but just because something has Amphetamine does not automatically make it a bad thing.

Here's the (much better) SciAm article: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=rainbow-gra...
I want to engage with this comment because it's one commonly encountered with this sort of thing.

>Oh please, enough with the drama. I've led the same life. So has everyone else here.

It is precisely my tiring of drama that's led me to my present attitude. Please note that this was a response to an article someone else posted, not a please-pay-attention-to-me self-post. I never talk about this sort of thing in person. My only purpose in commenting as I did was to provide the perspective of someone who has some contact w/the issues in the article.

>So people told you were lazy and rather than accept that at face value, you decided you have some sort of a medical condition?

Actually it's quite the reverse: people told me I have some sort of medical condition, and I treat myself as though I'm just lazy. It's not necessarily that I disagree with them, but that I think the second is a more cost-effective frame of mind.

>Look, take my advice. Work for yourself and take on short-term projects. Nothing that lasts more than a month or two. That way, by the time you get bored with it, you're on to something entirely different.

Candidly, this strikes me as relatively irresponsible advice, and half-humblebrag. "I just get so bored with normal corporate work, you know? I always need something new." (Subtext: Despite my inability to commit to a position, I am so talented it doesn't matter. Oh, you're not talented enough to make it work like I am, i.e. inferior to me? Sorry brah. Best of luck.)

It's just a hard problem. Those who would judge you as lazy probably can't be communicated with---the answer to that is simply producing. Those who would diagnose you are well-intentioned, but I worry about getting stuck in a victim frame. I don't have time to be a professional victim. I have other things to do.

In saying this, I don't wish to cast aspersions on those taking medication for whatever conditions they may have. I do wish to provide some hope for those who think they may have some sort of condition, but are wary of the stigma associated with acknowleding such.
Is human DNA enough?—potential for bacterial DNA
I'm not Richard Stallman, so HTML.
I would add my voice to cautioning against such sweeping generalisations. Saying "I'm a layman... our understanding of the brain is very basic" doesn't really follow.

The brain is something of a black box, and it is extraordinarily complex. We have a complex understanding of it - which isn't enough to understand it fully, but it's better than 'very basic'. The characterisation of our understanding as being so simple doesn't do either the brain or the researchers any justice at all, and makes us lean towards it 'being okay' to be helpless in the face of its complexity. It is, without a doubt, the most complex field in the human experience by far.

all the treatment often seems to do is to alleviate the most visible of the external symptoms, causing several new problems in the process, or simply making the patient apathetic

Some patients generally do okay with medication, others have transient episodes during which the medication helps throughout. Not every patient is on a rollercoaster to hell. If the argument "well, you can't save everyone, so don't try anything" really had any merit, there wouldn't be any Emergency Departments in hospitals.
Is this really a common viewpoint in the developer community?

I'm a programmer, and I do it because I find what I do to be exciting. I, in fact, truly enjoy "skimming 1,000 lines of log output" to finally find a bug I've been scouting for, or spending hours solving a particularly difficult problem.

If I found coding naturally boring and mind numbing I certainly wouldn't have chosen it as my career. Perhaps you should look at whether you are truly in the right field?
> I barely have time to learn the framework.

If you can't be bothered to deeply study and understand your tools then you probably don't deserve to use them anyway.
This sounds like an awesome idea, and a product I'd definitely use.

Just a tip though - I had to read halfway down the page just to find out what nvlope.com IS (an email client with an API). "It's time to move email forward." is a nice sentiment, but it really doesn't explain your product at all. You should think about adding a short descriptive tagline that actually explains it before listing out a raft of features.
Exactly ;), that's why I'm always hiding from the world behind my screens !

Just a short note on the "we do not understand the brain and thus are not able to design more sophisticated methods to treat this terrible decease"

Allow me to disagree.

We do not need to understand how the brain works in order to be able to find treatments for all the different mental deceases.

Its all trials and errors, hypothesis -> testing -> result, again and again and again until a final conclusion!

I have spend a lot of years researching the brain, the black box which everyone wants to understand but no-one has any clue about it and more specifically Alzheimer's disease (not in a pharmaceutical company but in academia).

From my experience, we don't need to understand how something works if we know what is the most likely outcome for a given input.

I was lucky enough to test different types of drugs, their long term and short term effects, how useful they are and of course what effects have in behaviour etc. From every single study I could put a piece of puzzle right there and be able to see a clearer picture of what's going on, make hypothesis, tests hypotheses, have controls, tests controls etc. I obviously have no clue how the brain works but for those things I checked I know:

Given an input -> Brain -> I get an particular output most likely*

From that (and of course many control studies), I could trust that this drugs will most likely give me the predicted output. And that's how research is done..Is not always correct but based on that, we managed to be where we are, to have drugs for diseases which in the past killed us and step by step we can move forward and it would be wrong to doubt how much improvement has been done so far by the research community.

I am not suggesting you to trust anti-psychotic, just suggesting you that in my personal opinion, is wrong not trusting a drug (which you of course are well aware for advantages/ disadvantages) just because you don't know how brain works...Many other drugs which are for simple diseases actually affect your brain in many similar ways as anti-psychotics.

Ask HN: Should I recreate an acquired, shutdown company?
For a few days, I've been thinking about how painful the process of selling my stuff is. Stuff that is perfectly useful to someone else, but is being wasted in my possession. However, the effort involved in listing that item and dealing with all the logistics is so much that the item just sits there. The part that turns me off, in particular, is how to price the item and include free shipping, without reliably knowing how much shipping will cost.

Turns out the Sold team came up with the same solution to the problem that I did. They were a successful (afaik) marketplace that let you take a picture of the item on your phone, and then handled the rest of the process for you. I really want to use their service, but it got acquired and shut down by Dropbox, and I haven't found a similar service yet.

My question is - why should I not start the same service again? Specifically for this product market fit, as well as the general principle of redoing something others have done. What would be your arguments for and against it?
Show HN: Hacking Christmas Lights with Arduino
Proponents of a static universe have a lot of explaining to do. For example, older galaxies tend to look lumpy and amorphous, because they interacted and collided with other galaxies more often in our early, dense universe. Symmetric elliptical galaxies and our structured Milky Way tend to be younger.

Also, you can have a static universe with a beginning, or an expanding universe with no beginning. Rainbow gravity falls into this latter category.

> We want to be able to add new features that would exceed the scope of IMAP. Further, the current mail stack was just not built for a good mobile experience, and it's complexity provides a considerable barrier for emerging mobile clients. We want to cut off the legacy baggage and keep the entry barrier for users and developers as low as possible.

What new features? Current email infrastructure already implements everything mentioned on this page. There's mention of the "limitations" of IMAP and SMTP but it seems specious. Reading email is a pretty well solved problem now, and I think every popular language has libraries for IMAP and SMTP.

On the topic of IMAP's performance on mobile: there is an installed base of millions who use IMAP for their mail on their phones. There are many, many good email clients for Android (I recommend K-9 Mail, which is FOSS) and they work great. Presumably it is the same for iOS.

If they write a nice HTTP API for reading mail inboxes, that will probably be a nice option for people who for some reason can't or don't want to use IMAP, but there really is nothing here to move mail forward.

Mailpile is a lot more interesting (webmail and privacy features): https://www.mailpile.is/

A friend of mine needs her meds or she tries to kill herself. Not in a suicidal way, but in an "wouldn't it be nice if I dissolved into the sea?" way, where whatever takes her fancy as curious at the time makes a lot of sense and she tries to do it. These episodes are transient, and she is aware after the fact of what happened and that she wouldn't want to actually do those things, but basically she either needs the meds despite the side-effects, or a constant chaperone.

She says it's hard to explain to people that for her, the side-effects are better than the alternative. People understand weight gain and don't like it. But they don't understand psychotic episodes.
... The strong form of that claim consists of the idea that no doctor or drug has ever improved anyone's life with respect to mental disorders. That no-one who's been diagnosed with ADHD, for example, has experienced a higher standard of living from the actions they took around that diagnosis.

I've heard of people, even on here, who claim their lives have been improved after a diagnosis. So you're arguing against quite a heavy prior in that regard.

It also seems that the weaker form of your claim - that you'd mean fix entirely - wouldn't really serve you in the context of the discussion. After all, why would we think that anyone can be made perfect or that it's even rational to invest heavily in doing so rather than taking a shortcut to an acceptable level of functioning?

So, all that in mind. Where's your evidence for your claim that 'Everything you don't take responsibility for. Everything you don't see as your own failing ... you have no control over and are destined to suffer under its yoke for the rest of your life. And no drug or doctor will fix it for you.' ?

Why would an ISP not offer up-to-date Ruby support?
I'm asking out of genuine curiosity, not spite.

Just tried to create a Rails app on Dreamhost, only to learn that they only support Ruby 1.8.7 on shared server accounts. It's my understanding that v1.8.7 is very obsolete if not entirely deprecated. If so, I'm a bit perplexed why a major ISP, with prominent mention of Ruby & Rails support in their wiki, wouldn't want to keep up.

Am I missing something?
... done right?

I mean the most hated implicits are implicit conversions and they basically exist for Java compatibility.¹

So on the one side you have terrible stuff hard-coded into the language (Java, C#) which you will never get rid of and on the other side you have a solution as a library which you just can de-import if you don't want to suffer from e. g. magic anything-to-String conversions any longer (I certainly won't).

That's a huge plus in my book.

¹ The two other main use cases, type classes and extension methods, seem to be hugely popular and I haven't seen any criticism concerning them.
