We are talking about people here, not corporate accounting. Stocks are financial assets.

You didn't really highlight how any of this is a problem? Yes, if you sell some of your assets, whatever kind, to pay for taxes then you'll have less assets in the end. That's literally how taxes work.

This is all a guesstimate, but my gut feel is that a considerable part of the HN population doesn't even read the linked content, only the comment section here.

To be honest, I'm very much surprised Amazon hasn't eaten Microsoft's lunch here. Offer out-of-the-box AWS instances with Gitlab, SLAs, backups and the works, should be straightforward.

This is the easiest sell of the century, product can discuss and implement changes without ever getting engineering involved. Or at least that's the theory, I think everyone here can think of a number of reasons to have reservations on this front.

Compare the same algorithm/program in Python and C and that's roughly your answer, no?

I'm sure you've never made a typo or mixed up two similar words before.

I'm not sure this statement holds up to any scrutiny? Surely the number of people doing any kind of sports vastly outnumbers people on any kind of psychiatric medicine?

> When we look at higher-quality evidence and direct comparisons, exercise performs similarly to, but not dramatically better than, established treatments. Overhyping it risks damaging credibility in this important area of mental health.

I get where he's coming from, but at the same time, if we can achieve even roughly the same result with exercise as with medication, that's a ridiculously huge win. Side effects of antidepressants are usually uncountably many, whereas for exercise it's (just) injuries and it's pretty well understood how to prevent them. Granted depression is a thousand different diseases in a trench coat, but even if we can ameliorate some forms with exercise, that would still make it considerably more available and approachable.

Exercise doesn't need to be complex or intimidating. Starting out with going for a short walk counts as exercise. You could even do it while you have the patient with you on an appointment, go walk out and about with them. Depression is a complex beast and the more tricks we have up our sleeves to fight it, the better.

If you're depressed, trying to make exercise happen can be the hardest thing in the world for some. But for those that it isn't, it could help a lot.

Not wrong in the EU, you don't need to ask for consent nor notify about cookies which are required to make the site functional. Tracking and ads don't fall under that though, which is why every site these days does need to ask for your consent.

I mean, you can get to and from practically any airport by bike if you're determined enough.

I don't know, as far as I can tell the demo on the homepage is bugged? Or maybe I misunderstand how it's supposed to work? If I click reset after 2 seconds and then click add 1 right after it, the reset never fires. What's up with that, that's not what I expected to happen?

Braun is the Boeing of appliances. A once great company that's now been hollowed out by beancounters.
