And turns out the patterns and metaphor in this book can be co opted. Without belief in the supernatural, or submission to human authority structures. Though still receiving and giving the same benefits.

Love isn't owned by a king, it's already built in, inherent to all of us.

I suspect the e-scooters left around town (Lime, Bird, etc) are massive Bluetooth / LoRa dragnets. You pay them to increase coverage or visibility to social hot spots.

> However, not everything is connected

This assertion is just as unfounded as the opposite.

Right. So:

* Don't require users of your API to start [additional] goroutines to use your API correctly.

Mangling back button functionality isn't inherent of SPAs.

Phone applications and their data are so abstracted these days, it would be difficult for even an IT expert to differentiate between cloud and local data if search takes place using the device itself (which I assume is what happens). If they connect the phone via USB and browse the contents with a workstation, that might be a different story.

So in practice, nothing has changed.

QA/QC isn't exclusive to large companies. DIY hobbyists can do the exact same thing.

Because quality increases when Apple repackages Chinese components in a shiny white case.

Nice try Intel social media team!

Bottom line: We're all in a prison, and shit sandwiches are for dinner. I'll take the one with 90% less shit until (hopefully someday) we're all released from the prison that is American democracy.

All I'm trying to say is there are alternative paths in treating depression, besides popping pills. These alternative and "wholesome" remedies are rarely recommended though, because there's no financial incentive. A doctor/pharmaceutical company makes no money by recommending a healthy diet, sufficient exercise, and socialization. Pharmaceutical fixes should never be a first choice for treatment.

And it seems like you're telling me that I've never experienced "true" depression. You have absolutely no basis for that 1.) because you don't know me 2.) because our perceptions of reality are unique.

Agree 100%. I think that the city of New York has no business putting limitations on how a property (that you own) can be used and leased. If you have a community/association that's making those rules, fine... that's fair. It's fair because you agree to their terms prior to purchasing the property. If you rent a property and the lease explicitly disallows subletting, fine. That's fair too. Rules and laws should be granular, specific to their locality, rather than vast sweeping blankets.

I'm also in favor of zoning for residential and business, that makes sense. But there's a big difference between someone operating a high foot-traffic business out of their home, and seeing an occasional stranger walk into a residence every other day or so.

If there are no specific rules that a localized community has agreed on, then Airbnb should be fair game. Why should the municipal government make the rules?

Wow, just read an article on ADHD in France, and I think that their system is incredible. It really aligned with what I've thought all along: depression, ADHD, and a few other "neurological disorders" are symptoms of a person not operating in an optimal environment (for themselves specifically).

Take ADHD for example: A child won't sit still in class, is constantly distracted, and performs poorly at school work. Let's use occam's razor to figure out what's going on here. Was this child born with a rare neurological disorder causing an imbalance in monoamine neurotransmitters? Possibly... Or maybe was the real cause is this: a lack of exercise, a poor diet that includes lots of sugars and unnecessary carbohydrates, lack of socialization outside of the school context. The list goes on and on. I really believe that if you do your due diligence in ensuring your diet, health, social life, and other important factors are all in a good state, these conditions magically disappear. Sure, the kid might have low levels of dopamine because of their suboptimal lifestyle. But there are ways to fix the problem without shoving NDRIs/amphetamines down their throat: change their routine, their diet, their life.

I'm not saying that ADHD doesn't exist, I'm just saying the true percentage of ADHD cases is probably a much lower (see France) than what's purported in the US.

But in the end, it's easier to pop a pill than change you or your child's lifestyle. Plus the pharmaceutical companies make a buck, and tell you what you need to hear to believe that stimulants are the only option for treatment. Sometimes they might be a good option to jumpstart the process of digging yourself out of depression (SSRIs in this case) but I don't think that the chronic administration of drugs is healthy and optimal in the long run. There are better solutions out there.

(P.S. Obviously I'm not stating any of this as fact. It's just what makes sense to me after dealing with, and evaluating my own anxiety and depression.)
