The kicker and worst part is that we HAD competitive market under the 1996 Telecommunications Act (and Title II) before it got killed off in 2004/2005. At one point, in a craphole suburb of north Texas, I had the choice of no fewer than 8 DSL providers (including SDSL 3Mbps bidirectional, which was amazing at the time) and 3 cable providers.

Now, in the smack middle of a major city with a large technology presence, I have 0 of the first kind and 1 of the second kind.

This is _not_ progress.

70 tabs is normal. I actually have exactly 71 right now, and that's because I opened a new tab to view this discussion.
Back when my doctor and I didn't know if I had true bipolar disorder vs. what seems to be "depression of a bipolar nature" (with my never going manic unless I'm taking a drug that triggers it), I was prescribed the atypical antipsychotic Zyprexa at full dosage, initially by my previous doctor, and also found its infamous side effects to be unacceptable. Tried another with that previous doctor and got orthostatic hypotension, then with this doctor tried an anticonvulsant, which I had to stop because of bad skin side effects (still have little bright red flecks on my skin here and there). At that point, especially with the very slow ramp up of the anticonvulsant (meaning for a long while I didn't have a therapeutic dose), we crossed our fingers and stopped trying mood stabilizers, which lead to the change in diagnosis. (Elsewhere in this topic I mention how I later started taking a low dose of another antipsychotic to deal with anxiety in general, with very useful side effects for insomnia and allergies.)

I did name one drug name because if any other atypical anti-psychotic will do the trick it should perhaps be tried, Zyprexa is pretty infamous for weight gain among other things.

>Businesses will push for anything that can make them profit

That's kind of a simplification. The pushing is controlled by the CEO and similar people at the companies and they can in practice push for pretty much what they like using the companies money. While they are kind of supposed to maximise shareholders interests they don't always do so in practice (see excessive company jets, vanity takeovers). I doubt Ford and BoA are pushing neutrality because they think it will increase their profits, they are probably just pushing it because the boss likes the idea.

There are several kinds of insomnia. In my case, getting to sleep is seldom a problem (and when it is, it's indeed often if not most often that kind of "thinking too much"), waking up too early is the big one. So, besides this being a generic disorder (my uncle the engineer followed the same path as I at the same times in our lives, but he's frankly bipolar with anxiety being of less significance), the effects of Seroquel on dopamine are not much if anything of an issue for me. Then again I'm taking a low dose of it (50-100 mg in one dose before bed, therapeutic dose of it for its formal indications don't go below 300 mg/day).

One thing to emphasize from our disparate experiences is that in this arena there aren't "one size fits all" solutions. There are common symptoms which respond to common solutions, sometimes after a search for a particular drug that works with acceptable side effects, then there are people like me where doctors and myself struggle for years to find a set of drugs that provide the best solution (for now) that control but by no means cure my symptoms (like my uncle, this eventually disabled me).

Getting back to the original basis of this discussion, I'm absolutely sure that Amblify when used as an adjunct for current generation antidepressants works from some people with refractory depression, which I can attest is no fun at all, since mine is only partially alleviated, and I have friends who spent years before they found at minimum partial solutions for their more standard unipolar depression. Is it seriously over-prescribed? Who knows? In my experience, there are enough people out there with refractory depression that it might well not be. And I'd certainly try it before e.g. electroshock therapy, which is one of the alternatives if you're desperate enough.

As a side note, I learned cognitive psychology in the '80s (now cognitive behavioral psychology, http://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-New-Mood-Therapy/dp/03808... is the classic and highly recommended layman's introduction), and it's tremendously useful, and in retrospect ended any benefits from talking therapy, but it's pretty clear that like the 3 particular antidepressants I've tried from two generations of them, only a partial solution for me.

Remember that much of wikipedia (and the internet in general) are considered 'illegal data' in some countries.

In this sense -- I believe that the idea here is to indeed broadcast illegal data. I find this project very interesting because it exploits the fact that we still have national laws in an increasingly international society. Because let's face it, whatever data they might broadcast it will likely be illegal somewhere.
It's very hard not to sympathize with this as most of our generation who went to tech are "misfits". As a minoroty that's even harder.

I would suggest reading the jemalloc paper [0]. The main improvements compared to phkmalloc are:

On the other hand, with the BSDs, you can swap out nearly any userland component for an alternative and it keeps working. While various things share code, it's very rare that one feature depends on an entirely unrelated feature, which is extremely unlike systemd.

Reminds me of what Grigori Perelman (who quit math professionally) said about mathematicians: "Of course, there are many mathematicians who are more or less honest. But almost all of them are conformists. They are more or less honest, but they tolerate those who are not honest."

Sometimes you see programmers mulling over why someone would leave math over this. Unfortunately, it doesn't strike them to use their own profession's lack of ethics as an analogy: racism and sexism. Many more leave programming over this. (Or at least stop helping their fellow programmer, because they don't like them overall.)
Please don't do that; a hit and run labeling does nothing to improve the situation.

I'd argue that you could lump the NSA debacle into that media hype alternate universe that has little to do with any real issues. For the past year and a half I've heard a lot about all of the awful things that the NSA could be doing with the information collected (e.g. arrests, blackmail, theft, etc.) but I have yet to actually see any evidence of an American citizen actually being subjected to any of them. My guess is that it's because when the newspapers don't have the evidence to back it up, they rely on narrative that brings in the advertising dollars.
> Just a comment though: not all citations are equal, so just counting them is quite a crude metric. For instance, a lot of citations in my field (theoretical CS) are "attribution citations" that point the reader to the original paper that introduced a concept or proved a result; and these are not the same as citations of work that you actually extend, or to which you compare.

And these are not the same as citations of other works that your work is about to disprove: "A recent experiment on mice (Doe et al., 2014) completely failed to take into account the variance of X". There we go, Doe just got one more citation.

As someone who sells a product in a similar price range, your point is understandable but quite difficult to cater to from a vendor's perspective. Both Chartio and our product involve spending some time with the customer up front in order to really make it work for them. A lower price point plus monthly contracts plus churn as a result of finicky customers is the mark of death for SaaS startups.

I was aware of sexism in tech but it had never caused me problems. And then one day I enter some Hackintosh IRC channel and I get mad at them calling me 'he', and then they figure out I'm trans... And I eventually leave, because now they're being really sexual and creepy.

It's really horrible. You start to rationalise it or try to ignore it. You become insensitive to it. You don't want to leave because they're helpful and talk about interesting stuff and all, but they're also nasty to you.

> Why does crowdfunding science bother you?

There is already a fair crowdfunding scheme for science called "taxes".

I feel the increase of popularity of crowdfunding schemes for science or health care is detrimental to the cause. They will never be able to approach the same level of funding that a state can give away, yet they will be a good excuse for the politics to reduce the amount of money spent on these issues: "The crowdfunding schemes are already taking care of it, aren't they? Why should we waste taxpayers' money? If prof. X wants its experiment to be funded why doesn't it ask for money on indiegogo?"

I haven't heard of this side of the story, mind sharing some references to it? That would be really awful
That article states that Javascript isn't Scheme, which is a point I never argued (I think you've read far too much into my "inheritance" point).

Javascript was inspired by Scheme, and obviously other languages as well. Since we're referencing Eich, he has also personally talked[1] about how he was hired at Netscape to write a Scheme for the browser and how he later developed a new language with ideas borrowed from Scheme (as well as Self, TCL and a few other languages IIRC). Thus there are obviously going to be some inheritance from Scheme in Javascript; even if they are conceptually very different languages and even if those qualities inherited are also shared amongst a multitude of other languages.

You see, something doesn't have to be exactly like, nor even uniquely like, to still have inheritance. Much like how derivative works in art where the predecessor stands up as an original piece - separate from the parent's vision - despite sharing the same lineage. Such is the beauty of derivative works - you can take inspiration from the preceding material yet still invent something different.

So that's what I meant when I said that Javascript inherited homoiconicty from Scheme (though obviously I was wrong about Javascript being homoiconic itself - and I thank you for that correction)

One aspect not discussed is you'll be breathing the smoke while you're seasoning... Its definitely an "all windows open" operation. Stuff that won't boil off beyond smoke point isn't going to be very reactive below smoke point. I'm not disagreeing with the author but agreeing with her for a different reason... at seasoning temps you'll breath pretty much every pesticide / herbicide molecule in the oil, and it'll be gone from the finish stuck to the pan.

Another thing I agree with her WRT respiration you'll breathe less smoke over your lifetime if you use the best finish possible.

After cleanup, I make an art form of heating up the cleaned and oiled pan right up to smoke point but not too far beyond.

I've never even heard of the authors self cleaning stories about fires and warping. I guess its possible...
