I’ve always understood the chemical imbalance description of depression (and other mental health conditions) to be a casual way of describing the conditions as being part of the person rather than a choice — and not a…

Does anyone have a take on where Reddit might be, say, 5 years from now? A view on the path to profitability? The obvious outcome for an unprofitable Reddit is an acquisition by a big media company but I’m curious if…
I love the idea but one of the challenges I’ve found at quite a few companies is a difficulty across the organisation in understanding the true cost of infrastructure: I’ve experienced situations in which putting the $…
I’ll take that bet. How much? I’m not anti-Tesla but I do see Tesla as a brand more than a technology company: good for business but not good good for breaking new ground with technology — I’d put a lot against Tesla on…
As a lay-person who reads scientific papers sometimes because they’re referenced on HN, how do I validate the credibility of a journal? Does a directory of journals exist with scoring, or is there a strategy I can use…
I agree wholeheartedly that Bumble is the dating app for relationships — and it’s the app I recommend! — but from a financials perspective: casual dating is much more profitable, Bumble will always be far behind Tinder…
I’ve used Webflow directly and seen it used within companies: although not perfect, my assessment is that they’ve bridged the gap between WYSIWYG and website builder. They’ve got room for improvement but they’re…
They literally erected gallows on the grounds of the capitol, they literally marched through the building chanting "hang Mike Pence". The entire basis of the Q Anon conspiracy is that Donald Trump is preparing to…
You can’t redeem Tether — that’s a core part of the fraud, they have “banking issues” and had them for years. You can sell it on an exchange but the Tether organisation have prevented any redemption of USD from USDT for…
I can’t speak for Microsoft but certainly at Amazon there was a very strict policy about working from specific US locales for tax liability reasons: it wouldn’t surprise me at all to learn Microsoft employees are quite…
That’s a shame, back in November AZ said: “Where we stand today is we have four million doses available right now and we've got enough active that we think we will be able to make a further 15 million available to the…
My understanding was always that AZ had capacity to produce many billions of doses by year (2021) end, and already had a large supply ready to go: is it possible that “first week of January” is referring specifically to…
This is a funny line that I hear a lot as a vegan and it’s based on a misunderstanding. Veganism is actually quite pragmatic, veganism is not driven by saving lives it is driven by harm reduction. If I thought that the…
You can sort-of argue that there are examples of ethical milking if you just consider the direct action of milking, however if we look to the bigger picture of dairy production — which includes how the cow came to be…
1MB in size feels like an attempt to define “performant” without considering... performance. A speed test from an “average” connection that also measures first paint etc. would be much more meaningful: not all megabytes…
GitHub storage for docker images is very expensive relative to free: I don’t think it’s a viable solution in this case.
I have the same problem: I can type fast but not properly — 120 wpm with 2 fingers — and any attempt I’ve made to learn to type “properly” has decreased my error rate... and my speed so much that any error-rate…
I think people like yourself value “data” too much. The value of financial data is that it can be used to target financial products: if you’re a bank why would you cut in a middleman on that? Look to any financial…
I’ve made quite a few things _for love_! From websites that tried to quantify the love through stats (number of messages exchanges, seconds together, things we enjoyed) to text-based adventure games that were just…
That’s an airline interest groups website so the figures are the rosiest you can find — not to say they’re egregiously wrong but they’re framed very positively. Air travel doesn’t exist in isolation, less air travel…
Access to healthcare is a big challenge in the US because of cost: your pricing seems to be very accessible but I’m curious if you have any specific ideas around how you can make therapy more accessible to people who…
This is the same problem GitLab suffer from. I don’t know if it’s necessarily a bad thing: perhaps their success is because of the focus on breadth of features rather than the quality of each individual feature. I don’t…
The line between being willing to take enough risk to get involved in drugs and being risk averse not to get in trouble from being involved with drugs is a very thin line. You can get rich from drugs very easily but…
I use both this and Psalm. I find PHP Insights very helpful in ensuring I’m meeting the standards I’ve set out because — as Matt notes in his comment — it is essentially a nice interface to various existing code quality…
