I had bad insomnia during graduate school, tried just about everything under the sun (medication, sleep studies, lifestyle changes, herbs) and eventually did CBT-I with a therapist, and that was my ultimate solution.…
Methamphetamine is a prescription drug in US, brand name Desoxyn.
I get the same weird anxiety reading these threads. I was making 50k base as a post-doc, anxious about ex-academic friends making 80k in the "real world". Then I got a corporate job making ~$120k, and felt anxious that…
I posted this on the other discussion related to this, but would love to get feedback here. ----------------- I can understand this position, but I'd be curious what your thoughts are on how to best (I realize there is…
I can understand this position, but I'd be curious what your thoughts are on how to best (I realize there is no perfect) keep your data private from snooping employees, hackers, or law enforcement. I've thought about…
I'll be completely honest, as your standard "data scientist" who hopped on the bandwagon and came from having a PhD in academia in an unrelated field, I cringe at these articles. I'm not entirely sure why. I think it…
I have always had impostor syndrome, but also a somewhat revelatory idea that most people are just human beings full of shit too. Let me explain. In college, I revered my professors - always thought of them on a higher…
I'm genuinely interested in hearing pros and cons on the Chinese government from Chinese who are currently living in mainland China. Particularly on the topics that are the biggest flash points on HN - government…
I've wanted to run forensics tools on my computer for a while, just to see what type of information I leave behind. Will that old resume I deleted 5-years ago show up on my HD? Will my personal backup SMS files that I…
Isn't the issue that they are discussing getting rid of term limits altogether? As opposed to setting a higher term limit? If so, how is it a fair comparison to Germany or Japan? I'm sure we'd have even more outrage if…
I've started my search to buy a place in Midtown, precisely because of the walkability. The prices really do reflect it..
Can someone more knowledgeable than me in regards to this vulnerability tell me: 1. How to best protect my local personal data from being subject to this? 2. Whether I should seriously consider pulling all my…
My entire life, but especially in graduate school, I've had horrible sleep. Both falling asleep, and staying asleep. I did multiple sleep studies, used sleeping medications, took supplements, tried to meditate, etc. and…
I grew up next to (literally) the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters. Never once did I feel unsafe there, or anywhere else in Japan. It really is a night and day difference.
What's the VeraCrypt container for? Isn't the DB already encrypted?
I was doing fMRI work around the time this paper was published. It astonished me that people would simply set an uncorrected voxel-level threshold and call it a day. No FWE-correction, no cluster-threshold - just an…
I always ask this on the VPN threads here, and don't feel like I get a solid answer (I'm not particularly well-versed on the topic so I'm genuinely curious and would love to be corrected). If I go to Bob's website on my…
Sort of tangential, but I felt this exact same way when I moved from being a post-doc in neuroscience to being a data scientist. The impostor syndrome was so strong it was painful. It has subsided now a bit because I…
Question: I use a commercial VPN primarily so that my IP is shared across hundreds of other users (as opposed to using it so that my data is safe being transmitted through coffeehouse WiFi), and thus would make it at…
I had a much different experience applying for jobs as a data scientist in Atlanta - of the companies I got offers for, the base salaries + total comp were similar to what glassdoor reported for data scientists in…
I'm not super knowledgeable in this field, so maybe somebody can set me straight regarding VPNs. I have always assumed that VPN services like PIA, AirVPN, etc. are useful for, among other things: 1. To make the content…
So the cascading cypher options (AES-Serpent-Blowfish) for VeraCrypt volumes are less safe than a simple AES encrypted volume? Serious question. I know nothing about crypto, just assumed "more is better, but slower".
I've wanted to setup my router with my VPN, but the only thing stopping me is that, AFAIK, some services won't work with most big VPN services - like Netflix. I use iVPN and can't stream Netflix while connected.
If you host your own VPN on a CPA, couldn't the authorities simply link your VPN IP (the VPS IP) to you via billing? Or am I not understanding how it works?
I think the idea is that an artificial means of creating a diverse workforce will allow people in traditionally disadvantaged populations earn decent salaries so that they can live in decent neighborhoods, and therefore…
