I've struggled with depression too, though never been suicidal. Both of my parents made multiple suicide attempts last year.

I hope you don't blame yourself for not being there for your brother. You can't predict when someone will need help, it's extremely difficult for most people to offer effective help, and people struggling with depression and other mental illnesses often get good at hiding it.

In what world does personal expected value versus expected cost of breaking the law ever become a good way to make moral decisions?

There are at least two counterarguments to this.

1) The law is written for precisely this reason. Most people do live by a cost vs benefit mindset, and the penalties of laws are generally tuned until people stop committing the crime. I wouldn't want to live in a world where the penalty for murder was only a week in prison.

2) Anyone who uses the law as a way to guide their own moral compass probably isn't very moral, because throughout history every society has had laws which are later agreed to be evil.

I am unable to comprehend your lack of understanding. He was mentally ill. He was treated for it. He operated within society in a fashion that does not comply with the stigma of mental illness (no murdering people, no sociopath manipulation). We need to remove this stigma (that all mentally ill are dangerous psycopaths). This will help those who are mentally ill find treatment.

I think perhaps you do not believe that depression is a mental illness. Perhaps you also believe that drugs and hormones can not affect mood, that heroin and alcohol have no affect on the body. Or perhaps you believe that there are absolutely no circumstances in which a human can grow to adulthood without exactly normal sensitivity to mood affecting drugs and hormones. Like how we all evolve slightly different nose shapes and patterns of hair growth, but all the organs in the whole body act with perfect regularity with drugs with no variation at all.

I don't know, as someone whose 8 year relationship ended with a partner who never accepted depression wasn't something I can control. To me its like not believing that lung cancer exists or something. We have evidence, diagnosis and treatment for it. Depression is hardly a made-up condition.
The national debt is a problem created by the budget, not by the debt ceiling. Using the threat of not paying debt you've already incurred via the laws you've already passed to try and circumvent the political process is idiotic and harmful. The debt ceiling does not create debt, it should always be raised, it should in fact be eliminated and all debt incurred should simply be paid period.

The place to deal with the debt issue is in budget negotiations, not by refusing to pay bills from past budgets because you didn't agree with past agreements.
I used Linode in the past for a number of clients, and had no issues. Then, all of a sudden, in the past 6 months or so my clients have been repeatedly hit with attack after attack after attack. Linode "support" blamed us, as if it were our fault and charged us hundreds of dollars in bandwidth overages.

Needless to say, all of my clients now reside on other platforms and are entirely attack-free now and have been since moving off of Linode.

Their service has gone so far downhill.
Just gonna leave a short, and not too in depth reply.

OO: Go is great for building server-side software in a fashion where it responds to events. I think it'd be interesting to explore a framework built like that, the way ReactiveCocoa sits on top of Cocoa.

Type Inference: Like you said, id makes everything dynamic in essence, which loses the value of Objective-C being static type at compile time.

GC: My approach tends to be that the compiler/runtime are smarter than me, so I'd rather depend on it than me.

Concurrency: Definitely have used libdispatch (all the time...), excluding it is merely an oversight. I was more focusing on channels, and the go keyword is necessary to introduce beforehand for the example.

Packages: I believe that if there is no conflict, you can just reference the class name, though I may be thinking of another language. I can see your point for sure though.

Thanks for the feedback, would love to hear more of your thoughts on the matter.

When there's a metaphorical fire in the data center, a lot of companies have a tendency to focus first on putting out the fire and second on letting the customers know there's a problem.

So Linode's not alone in that, but hopefully they can get better at it anyway.

I do wish they'd take advantage of their pretty nifty infrastructure and make it so their management system isn't all housed in Dallas. Every time there's an issue in Dallas their management system becomes unusable.

I don't understand how did they get to the number 71% percent for 0.05 p-value?

0.05 p-value means that there is 5% probability that (for a t-test as example) a difference in averages of two sequences (the statistic) is by chance and not because of difference in means of their underlying normal distribution.

I assume that the "toss-up" means that there is no difference in the means in reality (so the null hypothesis is true). Am I understanding it correctly? Shouldn't in this case the probability of getting p-value < 0.05 be in fact less than 5% and not 29%?

How did they get the 29%?

If you know someone who is suicidal and you care about them, spend time with them. In person. Suicide is almost always committed when one is alone.

100%, although I wish we talked more about the challenge of determining that someone is suicidal.

Here's what I wrestle with the most about this. I fear that if I "misdiagnose" someone as suicidal, that I might have now given them the idea that there is such a thing as suicide and it may now become an option, completely backfiring against my goal of helping them.

I wonder if there is best practices although it seems a bit silly given we are basically trying to read someone's mind - something that even they(especially them) might not have clarity about.
I'm building Grow and the Grow SDK (http://growsdk.org) which has a lot of overlap with Statamic (file-based, content in Markdown, YAML things).

One of our tag lines is "develop everywhere, deploy anywhere" – as in, sites are file-based and can be developed locally or in the cloud on our web service. Grow can deploy to a variety of servers (S3, GCS, Dropbox, etc.).

The project's not quite ready for use yet but the SDK will be released as an open source project under the MIT License.

Someone submitted my introductory blog post about Grow on HN a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6562182 – Right now you can sign up for the mailing list, and when a developer preview is ready I'll send out updates. :) I hope to have something ready in a few weeks, actually.

> So can people not labelled mentally ill.

In principle, anything can happen to anyone. In practice, being labeled mentally ill dramatically increases the likelihood of your civil rights being violated in ways that can ruin your life. Changing the law wouldn't solve the problem of mental illness overnight, but it would make it much easier and safer for mentally ill people to seek solutions.

This is theater to me because both parties are complacent. Rand Paul would like you to believe Obama is responsible but most of us know it didn't start with Obama and it won't end with him.

Obviously you're focusing on journalists now, but there are other groups of content creators who might be into your product; I see cartoonists and photographers are mentioned in the article. I wonder whether this model would be useful to young academics, too - especially those who are moving to careers outside of academia but might still like to conduct and share research. Publishing in academic journals is (supposed to be) a way to get your research out there, and peer review does matter. But academic journals don't pay their authors, and often have very limited audiences. It seems like Beacon could help solve those problems. Maybe another interested population for you in the future!

Wisdom? maybe, I don't know. But humility? well, long ego trip posts about ones achievements and future achievements are not exactly artifacts for humility, in my papers. And the usual downtoning of one's achievements in this article is only making matters worse.

Oh by the way, this comment is not against the author, it's against humility-as-a-value. I think we've gone too far here. The creator of virtualenv and pip do not have to force himself showing humility, he should be proud. There's nothing wrong in being proud of one's achievements.

There's probably a strong selection bias here though. If one's trying the insanity defense it's either a.) they're insane and really didn't know what was going on, or b.) they have no other defense and are going for a hail mary.

This is standard operating procedure for many companies in the VPS and server market. It's to ensure that they can keep customers updated even if all of their infrastructure goes down.

IMO, IP is a loaded term that distorts the wide range of issues. IM for Intellectual Monopoly is much closer to the truth. To be clear I have no problem with the idea of copyright or a well run power company being run as a local monopoly, but there outside of the normal business. And the goals should be finding rules that best serve society not the owners of said monopoly.

It's something we're still playing around with but one of the early issues we had was that some writers would come onto Beacon with a smaller subscriber base, but would add a really valuable article into the system that everyone read, and not feel fairly compensated.

If you generate value on Beacon, we want to make sure that's reflected in money.

So we came up with the idea of the bonus pool as a way to reward writers when their articles were widely recommended.

Currently we have a "Worth It" button which is basically like an upvote or a like - except it equates into real dollars.

Again, it's pretty new, but we're very excited about it. Last month, we had a relatively new journalist who's top article paid her out $1200!

I am not shy. I tell my kids when I am suicidal. They still live with me and monitor my medical issues closely, so they know when I am being really, really wonky and not just bitching, if that makes sense.

I've used Linode for the last 4 years, and prior to this week, I've only had 2-3 instances of downtime, usually only for a few minutes. This week, it's happened 3 times, which really sucks.

I've been using DigitalOcean for about a year, and I experience downtime with them (NYC1) about once or twice every month. But they're $5.

This sort of thing happens to every VPS provider at some point, and switching to DigitalOcean isn't going to make a huge difference in that respect.

I do wish Linode were a bit better about updating their status page. I don't like relying other peoples angry tweets to determine if it's Linode, or just me.

I'm ambivalent to jQuery plugins themselves, as I simply don't use jQuery. Therefore, any code 'wrapped in a jQuery plugin' (as opposed to, for example, writing well-designed, generic JavaScript objects and providing a jQuery plugin wrapper) is useless to me.

Maybe its boringness might be of value to some, as it has reached steady state, but I believe that if you are going to be where the puck is going to be, you need to consider languages other than Python.

I have a philosophy:

Innovate in either what you are building OR what you are using to build it, not both at once.

So if I'm working on a CRUD website, I'll happily push the boundaries on what tools I use. I can afford to burn some time because I know what I need to do.

If I'm working on something which no one is quite sure is possible, then I want boring, safe tools wherever possible.

There are exceptions, where you what you are doing is so innovative you need new tools to build it. Exceptions are exceptional (and often interesting...)

Of course, for some personal project I ignore my own advice. But then I know I'll be fighting my tools as well as what I'm trying to do, so that's my choice to be stupid.
Well, we are talking about a perpetual motion machine. Would only make sense to dogfood it at all levels.

How do twin studies rule out "environmental" that is, non-genetic, causes. Twins look alike, so if there are ideas about how people who look alike ought to act alike we would be expect a correlation between genes and behaviour that has nothing to do with the content of the genes. Rather, that behaviour would be motivated by similar ideas.
