Really because I'm a GCP customer also and earlier this week they arbitrarily shut off Looker on us with no explanation leading to tons of pissed off customers. Our account executive responded with no help and a link to file a ticket.

In this case they do not. These are research chemicals already in various stages of trials and are intended to help serious scientists conduct experiments. The promotion of potentially very damaging pharmaceutical level drugs is concerning.

The "research chemical" community on Reddit is fascinating and horrifying. People setting up scientific sounding LLCs to virtual offices and ordering all sorts of not for human consumption chemicals that are variations of Ritalin,

You negotiate by not using square and using an alternative system in that scenario. There are price competitive options even for small businesses. The UI might be clunkier and the equipment more dated but that is the tradeoff.

This isn't true in payments. There are many reseller orgs, indie processors, etc. that are happy to negotiate heavily based on volume etc. Source: I was director of digital marketing for a payments company a few years ago.

I hate to break it to you but the SEO industry is as big as advertising generally and organic results are heavily gamed. As it relies a ton on link building and many of those links are paid for it's hardly the meritocratic process ma

HN falls under work for me (in the sense that I learn things, I have a company that employs engineers so there's a networking element etc) but point taken. I guess I don't think about it as much because it's significantly l

Anecdotally I removed all social media from my phone recently and I only am using Twitter for work on desktop. My mood has improved dramatically and my focus is improving. Towards the end I found myself getting angry at posts that showed cu

I lived in Aribnb's for roughly a year and a half. They actually did a profile on our family on the Today Show on NBC about it. I think the thing I hated about it the most was the system of hosts rating the guests. It was always stress

I am not in journalism per say however as I've spent a decade in advertising I work with media companies a lot. Conspiracy theorists that push the idea there is some global cabal of people trying to control the narrative for their own

I've been seeing content on Tiktok where even 100 miles away they're seeing small dead fish which is apparently according to the folks making the videos a massive red flag. In general I grow super weary of companies and the govern

I similarly have that fear hence why I take 3 days a week in a row off and twice now I've taken 3 week+ breaks when I know that I can. Also there's a whole rabbit hole of supplements that can help supposedly and I've found so

I'm aware this is a joke and also am aware that NYC is largely safe. It clearly struck a nerve however and I think thats for a reason which is things are heading that way generally.

If you're feeling like your emotions and physical state aren't well regulated you can't do meaningful deep dive work. Large swaths of your energy is spent simply trying to feel balanced enough to then get the things you want

I think it was Antonio Garcia Martinez where I read some content he made that drew a bunch of parallels to the US as very similar to LATAM in a lot of ways. I was fortunate enough to spend some time doing the digital nomad thing in Panama a

Well so for what its worth and I guess I wasn't explicit about is that at this point (just shy of 1 year medicated) my days I am not medicated (I take medication 4 days a week) are much easier to get things done now because of the othe

Speaking from personal experience I tried every trick, strategy, and everything else under the sun and it never worked which led to a lot of personal shame and anxiety that over time became so tiring and demoralizing it led to short term th

I'm the founder of an audio ads startup. To put things in perspective the global radio market for ad dollars is ~$35 billion to $40 billion depending on who you ask. All of podcasting is $2 billion. To be clear the shift to all digital

This is generally very good advice. Eat well, get outside into nature, sleep well, try not to worry. Focus on what you can control not what you can't.

Yeah I am not in this tier of wealth but being in tech / working with VCs I rub elbows with it. They consistently suggest to get a concierge doctor and its so great because they have a small number of patients and they actually listen

I don't think so, I think there's a combination of things that are happening that makes their jobs more difficult and a lot of macro changes happening in the world as well as just bad expectations that we have as patients. I am no

This is fascinating and in particular this article called out EBV infection and the link to anxiety. I developed a rough EBV infection in college and a few years later I developed generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. At this poin

I do feel this. I consider myself somewhat of a minimalist (not an extreme one but to a decent degree yes) and while we don't buy my kid a ton of toys the people around him do. I think the system we're settling into is a combinati

I have never been to Japan but I did a fair bit of international traveling for a couple of years. Going from living in a US style suburban McMansion to small apartments in Italy, Panama, Iceland, etc. was eye opening in such a positive way.

You should look up a concept called "Gestalt Learning". I liken it to the "Eureka" effect that Thomas Edison talked about. For any professional educators or other folks more familiar with this I am about to butcher this

I found my therapist exactly like this and I have been with him for a few years. I was judicious with narrowing the search results and then further combed through each one meticulously. My wife tried 3 or 4 until she found one that clicked.

Yeah actually beyond age I would also break out "Do you have children" explicitly as that changes that calculus a lot.
