The patient underwent this therapy under the guidance of a doctor. Any increase in suicidal thoughts would have been caught.

This is a much riskier therapy to try on your own, true.

Paranoid delusions?

Sweden is not the whole world.

No it wouldn't. Not at all.

"Spaghetti in the the style of Bologna", as opposed to what can perhaps be interpreted in the English phrasing as "bolognese spaghetti"

It might be pithy but nature is full of counter-examples.

Come on, now!

Hello! I'm currently on the "couple of years and a failed job" track... any advice?

Can you elaborate on these rumors?

He seems to have obsessive compulsive tendencies so severe that he can't eat food (e.g. "Kitchens are dirty") combined with some narcissism...

I do a combo of a little notebook I always carry around and iPhone Notes. Simple!

Wouldn't you notice the blood...?

I'm very interested in health and fitness and often lose hours at Mark's Daily Apple (primal lifestyle and health blog): http://www.marksdailyapple.com/tag/dear-mark/

The Getting Stronger blog is another wonderful health and fitness blog which focuses on training the mind to thrive in difficult conditions, though it has really amazing insights on diet and training as well: http://gettingstronger.org/about-this-blog/

Please intervene. Get her some real counseling! Get her to a psychiatrist! And when she is able, get her exercising and taking probiotics. Good luck.

XXY (Klinefelter's) and X (Turner's syndrome) are both very real chromosomal intersex conditions, though perhaps intersex isn't the PC word.

There's no "science" about it. The pomodoro technique is just a technique, nothing more, to help people manage their time.

To be fair, young girls are heavily socialized to play with dolls, to play "mommy and baby" games, to push around toy baby carriages... in essence the "average" girl has been trained for motherhood her whole life.

I noticed this as well when I started taking probiotics, eating unpasteurized cheeses, and having sauerkraut or kimchi every other day or so.

I'll get a sniffle for a day and then that'I'll be the end of it. I haven't been sick in a year.

I think the "dismissive" tone is entirely sarcastic, and really helps to de-emphasize the very intimidating complexity of music theory. I've always been curious about music theory, but have really failed to get anywhere close to learning it because of how formidable the field is. This article made that complexity feel a little less untouchable for someone who was not trained in music, and the sarcastically "dismissive" tone helped a lot.

They likely meant pregnant before the end of high school, as pregnancy in adulthood is actually an indication of success!

I would have liked to know more about those "certain genetic vulnerabilities". Detailing THOSE would have made this article much more interesting. I'm disinclined to read the writer's book because of how rehashed her theory is.

Wow. Finally!

That deep attention to what you are doing sounds like "flow" -- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's concept of optimal experience. See his talk here: http://www.ted.com/talks/mihaly_csikszentmihalyi_on_flow?lan...

When you say you don't eat sugar, what does that mean? Do you eat fruit? Bread? Things that metabolize to sugar -- potatoes, squash, tomatoes, grapes, watermelon, barbecue sauce etc. Do you ever indulge in chocolate cake? What about wine or beer?

I just find the term "sugar" to be extremely vague when 50% of foods metabolize to sugar...

I completely believe in the value of education for its own sake, but why does a liberal arts education need to be 4 years long? Couldn't we have a system where a student spends one intensive year focusing on liberal arts, and the rest of the time at university can be devoted to job training?

One hundred people! That's an epidemic.

What does that mean, out of curiosity? Do you mean vegetarian protein which is harder to absorb?

Olive trees tend to thrive in hot, arid places like Italy, Greece, and Spain in the summer.

Why is this on HN?

I often read the comments first, and then read the article. I love comments sections in general (Gawker, Gothamist, NYT come to mind in terms of decent commenters), but I've never learned as much as in the HN comments section.

I probably read ~500 comments a day on HN.

Where would the money for Basic Income come from?
