I believe landlords try to get 10 year commercial leases which is the cause of holding out for the best price they can.

This article doesn't answer the question directly but it came to mind: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/31/fashion/bleecker-street-s...

Seems expensive, especially since they are impressively already using flexbox which works nicely enough! http://www2.pr.gov/prgoven/pages/default.aspx

Since I got a vote.

Why are you publishing the answers when the creators of Euler explicitly asked you not to?

I'm veering slightly in topic and only sharing personally, but I actually make a conscious effort to slow down when I am sharing something with other people. In my youth I used to race through all kinds of speech assuming the other person was on the same wavelength (and maybe also some anxiety I was wasting people's time). Recording classes that I currently teach has made me super-aware of bad patterns, which also include completing sentences with "but..." - assuming the unstated alternative is obvious, and using pronouns later in paragraphs like "so we are able to tell this is out of scope" when I really should be saying something like "...so we are able to tell that the doSomething() function is out of scope" to be explicitly clear. Definitely a big mindfulness challenge for me not to fall back into my default mannerisms.

One can modify video playback speed on youtube, so one could also leave the choice to speed up or not to the recipient.

I think kids get such scores when they are ahead of their age in areas of mental development. I think in my case, because of attentive parents who had me reading early, etc.

As I got older I realized I'm not actually smarter than other people, I was just a little ahead, and the false belief that I am somehow exceptionally clever was damaging in a number of ways.

What is treatment for BPD, if you don't mind me asking?

I confess to a personal interest as I've sought at times for things like anxiety and depression, and frustratingly enough would not be able to tell you what treatment I was actually receiving under the name of therapy.

Have you always observed this behavior in your wife?

And I am curious, what happens when you delicately attempt to discuss this with her.

I can't read beyond the first page, so I am curious what is the treatment for a personality disorder.

I'm currently on an Amtrak train between Philadelphia and NYC.

Especially in leafless winter, the sheer uglyness of this swath of in-disrepair America is almost shocking.

Abandoned factories and houses. Lifeless downtowns. Trash along the tracks. Non-sweet graffiti.

Paying people to do nothing when there is so much to be done seems crazy to me. It's not like we have figured out how to solve these problems with AI or robots yet.

I could listen to an argument for paying people to participate in FDR-style public works programs. Building a bicycle lane network. Planting flowerbeds. Demolition and recycling and then re-urbanization or re-forestation of those crumbling factory grounds. And so many more things that would make this a better place to exist.

> I’ve taken the recommended daily allowance as stated on the package: 200 mg twice a day.

Well here is the problem. 200mg twice daily might be the recommendation for narcoleptics, but it is an absurd regimen for aiding focus over the course of a decade that I think almost nobody would recommend.

Why didn't the author take Modafinil "as needed"? Or at a minimum, go on drug holidays to allow for a reset?

This blog post is all over the place. I hope the author feels better after settling into his newly unadulterated brain.

I would assume replaced often.

But replacing, not getting it replaced. At least on my 5 it is a few screws worth of work to swap.

No. I assume you have never put a resume on linkedin with experience in a field that isn't in demand. In my previous career, while I was employed, i had zero messages from recruiters.

You are depressed.

While I won't offer firm action steps, the main thing you should working on right now is your own mental health.

Standards are fucking amazing. You can plug an early electric guitar from the 50s into any modern amp or pedal.

How is an aux port obsolete for the task of transmitting audio? It does the job simply and perfectly, with a tiny connector.

I agree with all of this, but the knock on bluetooth sound quality doesn't fall into this category of audiophile foolishness.

It's real & severe downsampling, and incredibly noticeable.

Bluetooth 5 should have the bandwidth to solve this problem.

I have no love for Flat Iron since ...well, they rejected me a few years ago when I started my code journey.

However, I think this fine is somewhat bullshit. Flatiron did release all of the relevant job figures in an accurate way, even if the marketing headline was, indeed, misleading.

What is the benefit for students of the school being licensed? What does that process bring to the table? I'm sure justifies the existence of some bureaucrats, but it's my understanding that truly terrible GI Bill scam schools are licensed.

I think we are in agreement that taking constant little actions is the wise course.

To me, that is fighting.

What does not fighting look like on a practical level?

For me, it was months jobless and isolated at a parent's house in the middle of nowhere.

For others, not battling means not getting out of bed, and for people facing other "demons" (what a bad word) not fighting might mean to continue to consume drugs or alcohol, or to keep not eating, or eating too much.

I've tried to find help for something like depression for almost two decades from therapy. As much as I have wanted it to be, I haven't found therapy to be particularly powerful.

Running is weak also, but insomuch as all you can do is fight and claw your way out of depression[^], long runs, in my experience, can aid to some degree.

[^]Which may very well be a symptom of something(s) we don't understand yet, rather than a disease.

> The answer "Pastor" can be a conversation killer.

As it maybe should be. I'm certainly not denying that people identifying as pastors can offer solace and comfort to people in times of trouble, but they are doing so in the context of mysticism, in a particular form that has been catastrophic for many groups in our society.

Do you think there is any merit at all to the view held by longtime citizens that newcomers to the city brought crime along with them (if in fact this can be demonstrated statistically)?

Allentown's decline has many factors, from my limited knowledge. The is the decline and departure of the steel industry. There are opiods.

If a billion in investment hasn't significantly helped (or has it?), what do you think is the solution to "fixing" Allentown?

I think it's good practice to almost never work with family on building commercially melded creative dreams.

> One counterexample would be Stoneyfield Dairy. In a recent Startup podcast the owner talked about repeatedly borrowing money from his mother-in-law against the strong objections of his wife.

> Take the leap, but you've got to do your diligence. Listen to the feedback and concerns people voice about your endeavor.

Absolutely, but there's never a situation of any kind without drawbacks.

A quote from David Chang of Momofuku, etc:

> I think almost everything we've done has been a failure from the get go. That's just the truth, and I don't think people see that. We have fucked up just about every opening in every restaurant we've ever done. We grind it out and figure out how to make it work as we go. That's what makes it a very organic experience and sometimes maddening. But I can't see any other way to do it than to engage with the world, make the mistakes, and pick up the pieces from there.

I use the app "duet" to connect an iPad as a second monitor for the cases when a second display is really useful (like playing spot the difference with a site vs Sketch design).

This would be wonderful I'm sure with one of the newer 12.9" iPad pros.

And for 1/10 of the cost you can pick up something like a "15.6” Widescreen Flat-Panel USB 3.0-Powered Portable LED Monitor - $99"

I must say, this last addition to the thread makes you sound like less a content and healthy escapee of the social media vortex, and more of an isolated depressive. Quite a less inspiring model.

I am certainly stating the callous obvious but...she sounds terrible and you are lucky to have gotten out.

And I know the lingering stomach-churning attachment you describe. All too well : (

My hope is that when that (chemical?) fixation subsides you'll have a huge example of why she isn't a good partner that your rational, non-animal mind to latch onto.

I think about some things I said in did in relationships in my 20s and cringe.

I hope I have gotten massively more in-tune with others' emotions and desires, having read more, witnessed modeling aside from my parents, and gone through a more varied and extensive set of personal and interpersonal experiences to compare with.

While I have observed most people's personalities being fairly static, I do think it's possible to morph into an empath. Quickly, even, if tragedy or mental health issues strike.

Many couples haven't even thought to communicate about this because the unconscious social conditional is so strong. It's an unreflected assumption that the female and male are in charge of certain duties.
