The latest treatment protocols for anxiety seem to have shifted from GABA receptor agonists to SSRIs and supplements like folic acid[1]. The jury is still out on how effective these treatments are compared to CBT. I'd be curious about

You're being awfully charitable. It's on the order of magnitude of royal fuck-up. How can any user expect to be safe on Reddit anymore? This is the sort of situation that irrevocably damages trust. What's the guarantee that t

My reality is better than yours. My truth is more objective than yours. My morals are superior to yours. That's all this is.

The vast majority of opiates, substituted amphetamines, and cocaine were available OTC for a myriad of ailments. Many Vietnam veterans were treated in hospitals with heroin, yet they didn't become addicted. What it boils down to is tha

Sedition, plain and simple. It's not a joking matter to threaten the life of any individual, be they President or otherwise.

Sure, "Google" as a private entity can curtail freedom of speech on its platform. It becomes less clear when Facebook, Twitter, and Google are effectively public goods.

Careful. The implicit solution you're suggesting would curtail the First amendment. That's a bigger threat to democracy than a misinformed populace IMHO. What we really need are annotations that are community driven. A "bs me

What a great person you are, liberator of the downtrodden immigrant! A divinely ordained role one must assume.

What a bizarre rant. I'm not sure what I find more absurd about your comment: it's either the fact that you think of yourself as some sort of self-appointed immigrant savior, or the cognitive dissonance you display when it comes t

The closest existence I can think of is being trapped in a singularity. An observer would obviously see your body obliterated in mere seconds, but time would exponentially slow down on your end.

He was using a man's death as a soapbox to criticize Thiel's political leanings. If you don't find that problematic, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Way to use someone's death for political purposes. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? (Note to mods: trying to be really civil here, but come on!)

You missed the point and sentiment of his comment. Wikileaks is not the fact checker in this case, you are. You were being invited to look at the raw data and draw your own conclusions/truths from it, not somebody else's.

Regardless of how you feel about him, you can't deny that he knows his audience. He's a salesman par excellence.

It's quite sad how one's mind can be poisoned, corrupted, and manipulated by the loss of a dearly loved one.

Take a look at K&R C, and work through the problems without looking at the answers. Though it's a bit dated, I'd still recommend it to anyone who wants to learn C.

It's hard to make any true statement when terms are defined by what they aren't, rather than by what they are. For example, the term "SJW". What is an SJW? I can tell you what it isn't. It is not racist, not misogyn

Ultimately, the deal breaker for me is that Slack is not on-prem. Microsoft's solution will be, and that will be the true end for Slack.

I tend to agree with this sentiment. As my colleague aptly put, algorithms/data structure questions aren't really about whether a potential candidate can perform the job. It's more about whether or not they are "one of u

Haha, beat me to it! Seriously though, PHP has come a long way from the CGI/SQL injection days, though I feel its namespacing and scoping rules are rather ancient.

Epistemologically, I agree with you. What I was getting at is that if your employer is knowingly doing something unethical (again, relative, but let's hand waive that for a moment), I feel like it is your duty to report it and publiciz

Anonymity (and by extension, pseudo-anonymity) confer certain benefits. For example, the chilling effects of holding an unpopular viewpoint (increasingly untenable in today's polarizing political environment) are entirely absent in mos
