I would say self-help is quite unreliable already, more unreliable doesn’t make it much worse. The authority argument is pointless. The therapist must value person’s wellbeing above their continued income for this to…
First point is disingenuous, it’s not like you only have that one option. There’s plenty options at lower price points which are still decent. And there’s the second-hand market for the budget-conscious. You can get a…

It’s not an unreasonable delay on a slow 3g hotspot. It’s problematic to have the performance tied to the network speed and suffer an overall slow performance because your network happens to be slow.
The thing is that stuff like exact versions, super outdated software (especially browsers), changing passwords every N days and making it unique is a part of being allowed to pass some kind of security audits. If you…

Since you’ve invested time in this, did you ever try moving to a different time zone for some time, enough to truly adapt to the local day/night time. If yes, what did you observe about “when your brain wakes up”?
FWIW if buddy #1 lives in an area where 50k/year is enough, I would say it's still better off than most of the hacker-types, which also do this, but in their free time. At least he got to build a business around his…

From your description, I fail to understand how does it depend. You're saying that the algorithm is wrong, and changing the type doesn't help. If the type is not the issue, what difference does it make?
