Yes. The problem is you go back to zero sleep and anxiety. If you can solve sleep some other way, there are no withdrawal symptoms. Problem with this is that it 1) works, 2) resistance is developed fast 3) you are back to square zero very s

I am giving advice against starting family with someone, who can barely take care of themselves.

I had to deal with something similar, and I think I would add a few practical advices (outside of my other advice): - if psychotherapy does now work in first 3 months, than problem is somewhere else - check sugar levels, diabetes.. it is of

I was married to such person for 8 years. I physically aged 40 years, and I got gray hair. My best advice is to get out NOW if you can. Maybe things are working out now, but you are barely floating. Add normal family life into picture: chil

Go and Chess AI are SERIOUS and REAL problem. It is something which goes back for thousands years and will be remembered for another thousands years. AIDS and other contemporary diseases will be soon forgotten after their extinction.

defering upgrades is not really an solution, unless 'several months' is like 5 years. I need control over my system.

I checked linked study: > A human welder today earns around $25 per hour (including benefits), while the equivalent operating cost per hour for a robot is around $8 when installation, maintenance, and the operating costs of all hardware

> it costs barely $8 an hour to use a robot for spot welding in the auto industry, compared to $25 for a worker—and the gap is only going to widen. This is just wrong. Author does not know much about welding or car manufacturing. - Car

Downvotes are nice, but is there any other solution? I want just security updates without new extra functionality. MS is unpredictable and I do not trust them. One day it might decide to put ads on wallpaper or something.

Yet another reasons to blocks automated updates on Windows. Lets see how Edge becomes 'safer' in that situation.

Google has horrible customer support. That is well known fact for almost a decade. I workaround most of those issues by using VPN. Google always thinks I am sitting in datacenter in Germany.

"native apps are dead" is pretty loaded statement. Something "pretty good" in "early stages" does not cover that.

Do whatever you want, but that does not make you a "good guy", just a vindictive weasel.

"poor refugees" is left-wing propaganda. Right-wind is anti-islam, terrorists...

Is "lynch mob" and "getting fired" covered under "social consequences" or under "defend your right to speak" ?

But I found workers, we employ mostly Albanians, some Greeks and one Pakistani who is here for 10 years. It is manual labor in warehouse. But I would expect more interest from "poor refugees who barely escaped the war". Anyway th

Most companies have no right to any sort of "core beliefs". We are doing business, not church or homeless shelter.

There is also another aspect. In theory your personal life and work are separated. Your religion or political opinions should not matter at work. But many people (sadly even on HN) think it is ok to fire people, based on their opinions.
