I'm an Army veteran that was diagnosed with PTSD in 2010 after a particularly shit deployment to Afghanistan. I've also battled with depression my entire life. Name an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety pill and I've probably been on it at one point in my life. They definitely help you. Conversely a good therapist is also extremely helpful. They can help you find directions that are away from the meds. I've currently been off meds for about 1.5 years and it's been great, but it takes a lot of focus and quite literally years of therapy to get there.

TLDR: stay on the meds; do what the therapist says to do, no matter how dumb or inconsequential it may seem; exercise.

Can't read the article yet, but I'd put money on Palantir(1)

On the documentation section, (Ubuntu 14.10 / current Chrome release), the left hand menu covers ...well, everything almost http://i.imgur.com/p6mECEM.png

Any guesses if this is related to the Silk Road coins the feds auctioned off not too long ago? Or the even more recent second auction?

Prior Army EOD (7.5 years) (ATO for you Brits) and HN participant reporting in.

This was used in the 3301 / Cicada 'games' last year [1]. The only way I know about it. Cicada 'dead-dropped' difference peices of the SSSS code all over the world. We had to recover. One of the guys ended up 'bruting' the final line.

I too recently transitioned out of the Army at 27 after 7.5 years in EOD. I dropped out of film school my sophomore year and joined. I've since landed a job as a developer and CTO at a robotics company in Maryland. I also have government agencies beating down my door with interest on a white paper I submitted unrelated to my 'day job'. It looks like I'll get funded.

I've always believed that you have to make yourself relevant to the position that you want, and then shoot for the one above it. Hell, I'm a college dropout raking in 6 figures a year and I get paid to hack away in Python and travel the world to teach people about our robot systems. It's truly a dream job.

I'm interested in a response here as well. I know a tiny amout of Flask and am disputing moving to Django.
