The Firefox Hardware Report published recently by Mozilla shows that Windows 7 is the number one browser for users running the company’s browser, with a share of 44.86 percent, followed by Windows 10 with 25.67 percent.
How hard would it have been to link to the actual report, which doesn't claim that Windows 7 is a browser?
I agree 100%. Unfortunately, welding is being automated, and so are experiments to automate interior partition framing on large office projects. But you'll never be able to automate using one piece of heavy equipment to unstick another. Each case is too different, and it's too freaking dangerous to leave it to a machine that can easily scrap some very expensive machinery because it's impossible to program in instinct.
Again, you foolishly ascribe to me something that is not true, because you make assumptions. After I finished my education, I went into something completely unrelated - bought an F-150 4x4 and a Case 580 backhoe and taught myself how to be an excavation contractor. Far more fun than a stuffy office job, and truth be told, I would much rather operate a hydraulic shovel or a grader or a bulldozer than have to put up with all the bs associated with tech.
Can't go back to it because I can't drive anything due to damage caused by retinal disease. So don't assume that I look down on "lower-class" jobs. You assume wrong.
As for tech, it's shit. The work environment is limited, especially compared to working in the great outdoors and getting a decent amount of exercise (less risk of DVT than sitting for hours on end in front of a keyboard and less stress because generally the bosses know what they know and what they don't, and it's much easier to get work performance metrics so you don't have to justify "today was one of my most productive days - I deleted 1,000 lines of code."
IT was a serious mistake. Driving a bus would have been better (better pension and health plans, and union protection, for example). Having been a member of the Steelworkers, I really don't understand why IT workers think that unions are somehow beneath them, saying such things as "they are not needed." They'll change their tune when their job gets "right-sized" or contracted out to Hyalabad.
I have a low opinion of voctech training, not the people taking it, who are mostly being screwed over by "institutes" that get them to take out big loans for little value in return. I've seen the results of people getting scammed. It's not pretty, and it's why the fed finally started to crack down on the worst of them, but they still game the system and suck in people every day, giving them a mostly-useless "diploma" that has no official recognition in return for debts they can never get out from under.
Also, I never said that only lower-class jobs will be affected. What I've said is that currently we're seeing college and university degrees becoming less a guarantee of a job, even as the debts to get those papers rise much higher than inflation. I wrote a paper about this very problem back in the '70s that challenged the common view of the value of education, especially in what were then high-inflation times. Better to use those years to work than to take on debt for an education, because at the end of 5 years you'll be better off. Take the same energy, time, and debt to start a business instead. Inflation is your friend then, because you're earning increasing amounts every year, but paying back debt in decreasing-value dollars.
The current low-inflation scenario does the exact opposite - it doesn't allow for capital accumulation unless you're already one of the 1%.
What do you think MDMA stands for? It's a stimulant with a chemical structure closely related to metamphetamine and mescaline. And PTSD has depression as one of the comorbidities. Again, you demonstrate your lack of understanding or experience in the subject matter.
Your arguments are unimpressive, uninformed, and really, really dumb. Get some first-hand experience or stop shooting your mouth of about things you know nothing about.
More bullshit. I already knew about the problems with Prozac, smartypants. And approving MDMA for phase 3 trials with the goal of bringing it to market in 2021 just goes to show how full of shit you are about any conspiracy to prevent such substances from being used to treat people. Or didn't you bother reading the link I gave? There are plenty more where that came from.
Also, anything that results in even 20% of people having a notable improvement is a HUGE victory. Or would you rather they didn't have a chance to improve?
And "mild to moderate depression" is NOT the same as major depressive disorder, and neither are the treatments Why not find some people who are dealing with this sort of problem and talk to them to better inform yourself, instead of spreading uniformed opinions. Your stupidity is trivializing the whole issue as "oh, I have a solution that is simple." Major depressive disorder is not trivial, it's not "feeling sad" or "down", it's not a couple of weeks of grieving over a death, etc.
So your plan is to pay a homeless person minimum wage to sit and keep an eye on your TV.
Sounds much more expensive than just having insurance and buying another TV.
Maybe investigate training the dog to call the cops.
Never said that, so don't put words in my mouth. A dog on the premises is cheaper and better, and works for table scraps and dog food. Also, dogs can hear someone before you can, and can tell just by the sound of their walk if it's a friend or not - and growl accordingly as required.
Place I was working at, they had 2 German Shepherds that roamed the premises at night. A former employee broke in to rob the place, they let him get in, no problem. Then they made sure he didn't leave unto someone showed up.
IoT security systems wouldn't have been nearly as effective. The guy would have walked away instead of getting 2 black eyes - I mean slipped and hurt himself.
It's done all the time, including in snowy climates. My sister has a friend who turned 3 containers into a crafts workshop, and it's going to be -21 without the wind chill in just a few hours.:-)
Painting it with bright colours that reflect more sunlight reduces the load on AC in the summer if that's a concern.
Besides, we're not talking about turning it into a home - just a work space. Still, if you want, you can even buy pre-converted shipping containers if you want to live in one. and they meet local building codes. And look at the multi-level buildings that have been built.
No, you did not specifically refer to bipolar depression, so quit lying. The topic was major depressive disorder. Not bipolar (what used to be called manic-depressive) disorder.
So let's get down to brass tacks - what you quoted me on? TransParent starred a man in a dress. Jeffrey Tambour, to be more specific. And there were scenes where it was painfully obvious. It was also not realistic. It was stereotypical of how the gay community sees transsexuals.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given the green light to phase three trials of MDMA to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, the final phase of validation required to turn the party drug into a legal medicine.
“Moving from phase two to phase three shows we have strong scientific reason to believe that MDMA is an effective treatment for PTSD in therapy. The fact the FDA is ready to move forward with phase three signals that they agree,” said Brad Burge, from the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (Maps), a not-for-profit based in Santa Cruz, California, that has spearheaded efforts to turn MDMA into a medicine.
Elsewhere I mentioned other IoT product that are flawed, such as DVR video security systems with remote monitoring (thieves will be gone before the cops get there), remotely-administered fuel pumps (already hacked), and a few other things. IoT is fundamentally flawed.
Episodic depression is sever depression that lasts at least two weeks. That's why it's referred to as an episode. Chronic depression lasts at least 2 years. Duration is the defining difference. An episode of depression can last months, even more than a year.
Dysphoria is best treated by fixing the problem. For gender dysphoria, cross-gender hormone treatment and surgery have a very high success rate. Mood-altering drugs have zero success rate.
And just why tshould I believe some random person on the internet who believes their way will make a difference when YOU don't have any studies to support your viewpoint? Show me the studies. In the meantime, you're just making stuff up. Your feeling of certainty is not based on evidence. "intuition" doesn't cut it.
And from the way you've discussed this, it's obvious you don't even have anecdotal first-hand experience of being diagnosed (instead of saying "gee, I'm depressed this week") and seeking treatment.
You as a nation weren't vigilant enough. That's why you keep getting the government you deserve. Your one vote or opinion makes no difference. Until a significant number of people want change and are willing to stick their necks out to get it, you're stuck with that.
Also, you weren't vigilant enough. I don't see you trying to change things by running for office. You know, sticking your neck out.
Voctech training? Like truck driver (will be redundant in 10-15 years). Computer programmer (only work if it also includes a ticket to Hyalabad). Translator (simultaneous machine translation of speech already works fairly well). Working in the oil patch (very cyclical). Becoming a pilot (doesn't pay nearly what it used to, and on the regional lines it's close to or at minimum wage. How does $22,500 a year sound for a 40-hour week?) Welder (cyclical and the big job that aren't done by robots eventually will be). Construction (cyclical). Hotel management (you'll never get beyond the front desk, a low-pay dead-end job). Mining equipment operator (already mostly automated). Web site design (yeah, right. Like we need more web monkeys. I've worked with some of these people - one of them wasn't even able to use a mouse properly). Hairdressing? Most make less than minimum wage because they have to cover chair rental fees, etc. and the income is sporadic.
Lower-end jobs will be automated out of existence because they don't need much in the way of skill. Others will be automated out of existence because machines can do them better. Welding is a great example of that. So no, vocational training isn't the answer. The world can only absorb so many jobs of any one trade, and with automation, that number is going one way - down.
You haven't been keeping up with what's going on. LSD has been investigated to help treat depression, and MDMA (Ecstasy) is currently undergoing trials for depression and anxiety disorders. There are obvious risks of abuse, same as oxycodon and oxycontin, which the company claimed, without any evidence, that it wasn't all that addictive. That's a good reason to go slow. We don't need to fix one problem just to create another.
You really don't know what you're talking about. Major depressive disorder is not something that comes and goes in a day or even a week. It's a minimum of 2 weeks of serious symptoms, and can go on for 2 years or more, even with drugs and therapy. You don't vary the medication on a "daily" basis based on how you feel on any particular day, because major depression isn't something that you can predict on a 24-hour basis and say "tomorrow is going to be a bad day so I should have taken extra medication yesterday and today." Also, extended release formulations of bupropion are used to lessen the danger of seizure that happens without extended release. Even so, you may experience "the twitches" - involuntary muscle twitches - at higher doses until your body adjusts.
One of the reasons to go off drugs slowly is because when you quit suddenly, the body tries to compensate by releasing any of the drug stored in the body tissues. Morphine and dilaudid do this if you've been on them for a while, and the effect, when it happens, is immediate - zero warning. So don't do stupid things like driving when coming off certain medications (though if it happens you will be too stoned to realize it's a bad idea).
Rats only self-administered when it was injected directly into the blood stream.
Even grapefruit increases the action of other drugs. Going to control grapefruit?
Also, nothing is very effective against refractive cases of major depression. Not therapy. Not drugs. All you can do sometimes is reduce the desire for self-harm to a more controllable level and hope that eventually the ship rights itself, so to speak, until the next time.

Think of shipping containers as giant LEGO blocks. You can build all sorts of things out of them.
No, you did not specifically refer to bipolar depression, so quit lying. The topic was major depressive disorder. Not bipolar (what used to be called manic-depressive) disorder.

Projecting yet again, I see.
Really? I didn't hear you running for office, ever. Supporting one of the 4 shitty candidates from one of the 4 shitty parties doesn't count.

They already do this, but the time at each step of lowering the dose is measured in weeks, not days.
