Thank you. I've been missing this from my toolset after paying for it.

That wouldn't contribute anything to the conversation.

This seems like a good setting if the preference varies.

I think I fulfilled my end of the doctor patient agreement; I used the medication for years and tailed myself off slowly under supervision. The SSRI detox is no joke, but it was a relief compared to sleeping much more than necessary.

I agree with what you said. Of course, I've also heard psychiatrists call me irresponsible for going off medication that was actively holding me back from the energy and motivation I need to work well (and feel good about my life). The

People downvote the smallest things. I've found it's not as much of an obstacle to continuing the thread as you might think; certainly compared to, say, any moderately popular subreddit.

Sorry--couldn't be interrupted by SIGINT? That's arguably the point of signals. Does the runtime just queue signals rather than respond in the signal handler itself?

Sure, we might be able to simulate a rat brain at some level. I don't think we can do it with accuracy or precision, and certainly not use it as evidence of reality. You think the replication problem is bad now? It compounds when you b

> We have a decent understanding now of the complexity of a human body I fundamentally disagree. We have models, sure, but they're approximative, not predictive, and I don't see any indication we'd be able to get predictio

Computation will never be cheap enough to get accuracy. Biology is too dynamic.

Interesting. Under what circumstance would you want to go against it?

Another great reason to keep this practice illegal.

by duaneb 10y ago
I think it's written as laws. We are not actually discussing them so much as ideals. Look at the ACA: I don't even remember a discussion about its merits or demerits. People assume a position and shout over their opponent. Trump t

Sure. Do you think they are a right? Everyone can choose their environment to some extent.

Children should not have to make this kind of decision—talk to your parents & kids about a living will today.

Err, citation needed. Preferably by someone employed by Reddit. If it's just the subreddit.... I don't know what to tell you beyond "find better ones".

I hear working hours are more about the team than the company.

A default position of skepticism works in both cases.

Sure--but perhaps it's not the best investment in security to deal with the people who already got past the illegal part.

> but the illegality isn't wrong Well of course it's illegal, that's why they got arrested. It doesn't mean that the legality has any grounds in reason.

I've found this is a culture that's easily visible before hiring—perhaps people who value work/life balance avoid it.

I tend to agree—I think that the more we get upset by these sorts of behaviors, the more it encourages them. "Don't feed the trolls" is really the only thing that works, and it's a pretty miserable experience to have not

Isn't twitter moderation openly mocked for being, well, hardly functional at all? It's been a bastion of bigotry for the past year. It's Trump's main platform. If they're trying to suppress the right, they're d

I think you mean lisp-1 (or something). Lisp as a whole is a, erm, genus of languages.

There's no law that you have to be a citizen in this country.

The problem isn't possession, it's intent to sell.

The contract with America is notable for being highly, highly unusual to broadcast your actual plans. Nobody did this before or after the contract with america until now.

It can't be as harmful as jailing people.
