    You can distribute to "internal" testers (people you add to your developer account) without any review process. The app is only reviewed if you want to distribute to external teste…

    They used sentence dependency graphs - in this sentence "John", "trash" and "out" are dependencies of "threw". There's a few variants, but the graph construction rules are standard…

    People with depression do not generally have low serotonin levels, and it's unlikely low serotonin is the cause of chronic depression. If it was, serotonin agonists would be effect…

    You possibly didn't fool them - they may have suspected you were faking the symptoms, but when a patient shows up to a psychologist/psychiatrist on their own volition it suggests t…

    It's interesting seeing differences between countries. Like the author said in the comments, 401k isn't an "issue" in Australia. I don't know how 401k works, but Superannuation in …

    Re #1 and #3, that's not really true. They performed a manual landing, and the procedure in any emergency is to 'follow the book' regardless of the type of plane being flown. Their…

    Other implementations you haven't mentioned like MacRuby are much faster. In my totally unscientific and completely biased benchmarks (small tests related to the type of work I do …

    "By lacking sophistication, I mean a system of alternative capital (VC) that fully recognises Startups as a serious way to generate wealth" That's definitely changing, e.g Innovati…

    Take a look at some of the other projects on Kaggle - a lot of them have no money or roughly similar amounts. One of the main crowds Kaggle attracts is University students and staf…

    That's really a comment about your distro, not about Ruby or Rails. It /should/ be as simple as installing Ruby, then `gem install rails`. If it's not then something is broken with…

    You already have a lot of advice :) But I'll add that if you focus on negative memories a lot you may need to consider if you have OCD or an anxiety disorder, and the anhedonia cou…

    Yeah their credits are a bit sneaky :) Twilio only supports US numbers which is a problem. If you're looking at telephony companies, Tropo ( https://www.tropo.com/ ) is only 2c per…

    I normally read. Nothing that will get me excited or thinking too much, like some easy books or a newspaper. But - if you frequently can't sleep it's possibly a sign you're stresse…

    Sorry, that was a bad typo :) I pay $450 a quarter, so $150 a month. Fixed my comment.

    I'd just add electricity to this list - I normally spend around ~$450 a quarter at a two bedroom place (in Sydney), so for one person you'd perhaps be looking ~$100 p.mth depending…
