I agree. It is very unsettling to hear that a stranger "stalked the s t out of you" and i would prefer direct help. > Regarding suicidal thoughts, they ARE normal for many people and perfectly rational given their conditions a

hi TAAndreas you are right, the police was not very professional and it might have ended badly. Luckily it didn't. First i was scared that my ex send them to me and i was in trouble (althoug i did nothing illegal). Then i was relieved

I have to say. I didn't. So here is the rest of the story: I assured the police to make a therapy. They said they will check in a week, if i reached for help. I did. I called the Psychological Counseling Services at my university. They

I feel you man. I was a student at the swiss federal institute of technology (ETH Zürich). I was fine 2 years ago. Had a nice swiss girlfriend but my mind was obsessed with becoming a prestigious scientist. I worried too much and lost her.

I finished my master and left the field. If you want to have a career in bioinformatics, there is no way you can get a good position without a PhD. I realized that a PhD is not the best option for me at that time. So i took a regular coding

i disagree. While i agree, that PDFs are there and they will stay for a long time. The problem can be easily solved by journals. They make you use of their own LaTeX templates. It would be very easy to just force the submitters to add the L

Does somebody know why we are still using pdfs for papers ? I know a lot of people that are trying to parse PDF files and it is an awful process. If somebody is looking for an idea for a new venture, this is a problem, yet to be solved !

Well, speaking of domain knowledge : - Why are politicians the ones that vote for/against net neutrality ? Do you really think, they have the domain knowledge ?

How would we know that it's really you casting your vote, and that someone isn't physically forcing you to vote in a certain way? We now have fingerprint sensors on the new phones. I can imagine, this will be a standard feat

Again : technology shouldn't create problems. Phones should just be an easy alternative to paperwork. If "you" don't have a phone, you should still be able to vote with paper. Problem solved.
