Saudi laws aren't even codified. There isn't really a rule of law there.

Is it accurate to call this a leak if no one actually took advantage of the vulnerability?

Reminds me of a Nathan For You episode that lampoons the idea of ranking something as subjective as a burger.

Nathan convinces the owner of a burger joint in LA to go on a popular local radio station and promise that he has the best burger in LA, and offer $100 to anyone who eats there and disagrees. The comedy in this is apparent to pretty much anyone, but people will still refer to different restaurants as 'the best'.

If you're not paying for anything, you're not the customer.

Reposting from the other thread about the study.

>"We excluded quasi-randomised trials and trials that were incomplete or included 20% or more of participants with bipolar disorder, psychotic depression, or treatment-resistant depression."

Wikipedia defines treatment resistant depression as "cases of major depressive disorder that do not respond adequately to appropriate courses of at least two antidepressants."

Maybe I'm unfamiliar with study methodology, but doesn't this undermine the study's conclusion? It's essentially stating that forms of deppresesion that respond well to antidepressants respond well to antidepressants.

You should check out Valis, the book PKD wrote as part of his attempt to deal with his experience.

He was very much aware he was likely going insane.

It was anything but sly. He occasionally writes "I, I mean, Horselover Fat..." and never once concretely states that he and Fat weren't the same person.

Valis was part of Dick's attempt to interpret and come to terms with that experience

Interestingly enough, Kanye West had a nearly identical religious experience and breakdown, down to witnessing a divine pink beam.

If you check anyone else that was livetweeting, it's clear that csaid mistyped the second tweet. Alsup addressed those comments at Uber's lawyers.

I feel like 'living in squalor' is an exaggeration, or at least a separate category from what a lot of young engineers are doing in the Bay Area. Maybe if they were living in SF, sure, they could be living in dinghy studios.

I know plenty of new grads in the South Bay/Peninsula living in apartments or rented houses that would be considered decent or nice in the rest of the country with plenty of money to spare. Mostly at bigger, established companies though. Anecdotal, I know, but it definitely seems like there's a portion of new grads living comfortably in the bay area.

Living somewhere and owning property are very different though.

This was how I felt about lifting weights. I know about all of it's amazing health benefits, but you've got 3-5 minutes rest between sets, with most programs having you do at least 9 sets total. That's not even counting the time added on if someone else asks to work in sets with you. Plus the need for a spotter when benching.

Point is, I ended up getting into bouldering. If you want to send a bouldering problem, you have to spend a while actually planning out your movements, because if you waste time trying to figure out your next move in the middle of all but the easiest problems, you'll run out of energy before completing the problem. Like lifting, you need rest time between climbs, but you can spend that time planning out your next attempt. Only downside is that indoor bouldering walls tend to be crowded most of the time, and outdoor bouldering can require a bit of a drive depending on where you live.

Still, I find it a lot more stimulating than lifting; I actually look forward to bouldering, while lifting still felt like a chore even after 8 months of doing it.

edit: I should add that I've only been bouldering regularly for about 2 months, and mostly at an indoor gym.
