Thanks a lot for clarifying this. The meds a bipolar will take are identical to the meds a schizophrenic will take for handling psychosis and paranoia.

I would agree that any description of his misconduct not including reference to his literal bipolar manic state to be not painting the true picture. If we swapped “bipolar” for “schizophrenic” would you have the same opinion?

I think he argues quite harshly against himself and says that his actions cannot be excused. He seems to harbour quite a bit of guilt and shame around this topic. For context, bipolar is one of the highest suicide risk diseases due to this.

As somebody in a family with bipolar I have to disagree. Someone's schizophrenic episodes should be taken into account in judging their actions, just as one's manic episodes should be as well. This in no way excuses their behavior

Bipolar is a tragic disease. It's something that's pretty rampant in my family. You eventually get to a point that the author is. You can't excuse your behavior, but you want people to know desperately that those actions aren

I’ve been there. It sounds like you’re starting to blame yourself for their failings. You’re not sure if you’re a little crazy or they are. They’re gaslighting you. Get. Out. As. Soon. As. Possible. If they’re using your valid concerns as i

I've practiced zen and Tibetan Buddhism for years. They both contain lots of "spiritual bullocks woo" at times, as does most forms of Buddhism I've encountered. You really need to filter out the good parts for yourself,

Yeah, this guy has worked in an enterprise. Reminds me of the experience in big non-tech corporations. Years and years of terribly executed legacy SaaS and PaaS building into a permalayer of crap mostly created by contractors that will be g

Not sure what cake we're talking about here but a pound of cheddar has roughly 1800 calories. A slice of cake is worth about 4 or 5 thick slices of cheese if you're trying to compare calorically.

Yes I quit social media a couple of years ago and agree with pretty much everything the author says. Social media environments encourage incendiary discussion because it fuels upvotes and general attention. Most people won't take the t

"Things" is a pretty abstract term here. I think Paul is more guiding you to consider your values rather than your identity when considering a topic. I don't think he is proclaiming that you should eliminate values or some so

"Programmers don't like this (shit) tool addition you wrote because it doesn't work with the existing (shit) programming tools" is a better paraphrase TBH.

"I only see such spellings when people are trying to convey some sort of sophistication" McCafe and Buckingham Palace would want the "sophistication angle". Both spellings work obviously, but IMO (and the majority of Eng

"Theory for this is less stress due to finances" Believe I included this in my original comment. It's likely a big contributor in these types of survey. It's a little easier on your health to not be living paycheck to pa

In Canada, at least, happiness surveys tend to find the cheaper, smaller, more rural areas to be the happiest. Theory for this is less stress due to finances, shorter commute times, and less people to deal with overall (foot traffic, road t

Yeah, I actually just got back from a trip to Spain last week. I saw the "TOURISTS GO HOME" graffiti in Barcelona and Granada. Very weird thing to run into when you're from Canada; we're all about new people and cultures

Meh, this study is misleading. They didn't test if any other foods had the same effect. So sure, sweeteners might have a detrimental effect by this biomarker. But they didn't check if anything we'd consider healthy, like broc

Yeah, as kerbalspacepro says, the valuations all seem random to me. The salient point in this article, to me, was that workers' quality of life and pay has only gone down with time, whereas CEO and board stakeholder quality of life and

by spadros 8y ago
Eh, I don't think CEO's should get 361X the normal employee. I think 42X was already insane. $250 billion towards shareholders vs $7 trillion is also insane. Workers just arn't getting compensated the same now as they were in

Yeah I smiled this morning when I logged on to do some damage control on this thread and saw that the author updated the title.

by spadros 8y ago
Yeah, rereading this article today it really doesn't give a summary of what "tries" are until pretty deep into it. Smiling that the author updated the title because of my debauchery last night.

Thanks a lot, I'm actually so embarrassed right now. Never confidently log onto Hacker News drunk and expect to contribute in a meaningful way.

by spadros 8y ago
Ah, well then I'm too drunk to be reading this. Never heard of "tries", guess I haven't read enough. Conclusion could have used some improvement for sure.

by spadros 8y ago
I'll admit I skipped straight to the conclusion after a few demos. How is knowing a "tries" count going to help me beyond knowing "nothing can be sorted faster than n(log(n))"? Every "try" is a retrieval a

Hmmm, interesting. I wonder how important self advertising is in this case, though. I know that she usually posts content she can't get done with her normal freelancers on this writer's freelance site. Freelancers make bids, negot

If you're a company that commonly outsources, you should have good freelancing game. By that I mean you build a network of freelancers you've worked with before or have heard good feedback from trusted sources. My girlfriend is a

Yeah this is really dumb. If you're charging hourly, but don't trust someone is actually working, don't charge hourly. If you want full control of an employee don't get a freelancer. If you want to constant surveillance

Also if you're a long term investor you probably hate shorters and traders.

by spadros 8y ago
I think people here aren't saying they hate shorting in general, but that Musk hates people shorting his company. So it's Musk enjoying twisting the knife in the shorters, not these guys on Hacker News.
