The chance of someone encountering harmful side-effects when taking anti-depressants is much greater then "small"
If we redefine "harmful" as "undesirable", then fair point. The side effects will also sometimes change over time, sometimes for the worse and sometimes for the better. Also a doctor "supervising" a patient taking anti-depressants is not able to closely watch the patient close enough to prevent a potential suicide, it does not take very long to attempt to commit as such. ... which makes a good support structure, open lines of communication, and talk therapy imperative during early stages of treatment. To say "it does not take very long to attempt to commit suicide" is, again, dangerously irresponsible, speaking nothing to the potential positive benefits of therapy. You might as well be saying "that chances of getting hit by a car are much greater if you leave your house" - completely overlooking the necessity to make a journey to begin with. These drugs do mess with your brain's chemistry and are not placebos, but it is really hard to say what the effect will be prior to a patient actually taking the drug Enter the Genomind product which aims to resolve your concerns moving forward. We're getting better at this science stuff. |

It's bad advice because the small chance of encountering negative side-effects are outweighed by the potential benefits in serious medical cases. Especially when prescribed under supervision of a doctor. Furthermore, what you said is NOT THE TRUTH. They are most certainly not "nothing but placebos for depression". Maybe a certain drug class (SSRI's for example) would have no pharmacological effect on a patient and help them feel better by placebo effect alone, but another drug class (say SNRI's) might genuinely work to pharmacologically positively affect a patient. Your perspective smacks of Jenny McCarthy uneducated "anti-vax" nonsense, and is not rooted in science or our current (limited) understanding of brain chemistry. And speaking to an increase in depression or ideations of suicide, I suspect you might be referring to cases where anti depressants are contraindicated for use in young adults due to those negative side-effects being two to three times more likely to occur. they're now known to be pretty much nothing but placebos for depression
... speaking of bad and very dangerous advice ... Patients respond differently to different medications. You're always supposed to be getting onto meds under a doctors supervision. How is it bad and dangerous advice? What I stated is the truth. I think most people will agree that taking something that can actually cause suicidal behaviour when you're depressed is a pretty bad idea. And what do doctors know in this regard? You go to a doctor tell them you feel a bit sad and 9/10 without hesitation they'll throw a load of pills at you. I think blindly taking anything they give you is taking bad advice. Quiz them in depth about whatever medications they give you and they'll usually be unable to tell you anything other than what's written on the box or the little sheet of paper they get from the pharma companies telling them what and when not to give them. |

LOL Sounds like Xian is. Not sure why he sent me that bag of dicks, he must be a fan of them.
Nostalgia time. I took this picture. It seemed kind of funny at the time, but now it's just one of those Josh things....like the foam pitchforks. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but there's a boxcuttter there with a note that says "For Dave", meaning Dave "The Knife" McClain. Just a somewhat hidden message there.
So that's not a photoshop ? (when I first saw the photo, I thought it was PS'd for some-odd reason) Someone actually sent him some Penis Candy ? That's hysterical. because you or someone else....or the entire internet, technically, told him to eat a bag of dicks. |

There is some excellent emerging work with genotyping done by http://www.genomind.com/faqs/ - Their Genecept Assay product is one of the first products that allows doctors to tailor treatments based on how well a patients physiology may or may not interact with different classes of drugs. |

Is it relatively straightforward to undervolt a C1 to ~550W ? If so, what sort of hash rate could we expect at that wattage ? Thinking of picking up a couple fo' shiggles and tinkering purposes.

I'm not seeing the connection to Ed Trice ?
Was wondering what ever happened to that dude.

What I'm mainly talking about is that he threatened Garr by refusing to deliver the equipment he paid for because Garr was complaining and talking shit about BFL. Garr was essentially beaten into submission because he had a large order for a group of people and couldn't afford to have his delivery canceled. Josh was using his order as leverage to control Garrs behavior by threatening to cancel or delay it. I'm pretty sure the court would agree that speaks to Josh's character.
I remember that playing out here on the forums  It was shameful watching Josh humiliate and manipulate Garr over his order. Now, it's "rich" watching Josh and crew play the victim card after being the victimizers for so long. Karma is a real bitch. |

FWIW, for some strange reason, I think Con is the only dude I trust on here.
I can't explain why.

While I have questioned the forums rules in the past I have come to the conclusion that the mods/admins have acted in a proper manner whether you like it or not. Try to look at everything from another angle than yours.
Try posting a link to Theymos' dox located at blockchain.info and see how quickly your opinion changes. Yep. Seriously, RoadStress, go post theymos' dox (google and you'll find it) and see what happens. What will happen? I thought the policy was not to remove dox? If the info is out there or on google what would it matter anyhow? If it's an indication, I was banned for 45 days for doing so. Fact: Joshua "Inaba" / "Nitrowolf" Zerlan of Butterfly Labs made it part of his career to dox and intimidate vocal people in the community that spoke out against them. Fact: Josh Zerlan of Butterfly Labs paid Michael "Theymos" Marquardt significant advertising funds over the course of perpetuating their fraud [1]. Fact: Michael Marquardt did nothing to remove the dox that Joshua Zerlan posted despite protestations of his victims. Fact: Michael Marquardt bans people that post his dox, and removes the offending posts while allowing Butterfly Labs' intimidation dox to remain. Ergo, Michael Marquardt is a profiteering hypocrite who materially benefitted from Butterfly Labs and others that defrauded this community, while taking their advertising monies, looking the other way, and allows them to continue their bad behavior while he bans others for the same bad behavior. Finally, I need to again call attention to the fact Michael Marquardt is paying out, by his own admission, an absolutely asinine sum of $100,000 [2] per month for development of new forums software. -Christian "Xian" / "Xian01" Antkow [1]: http://ia802308.us.archive.org/32/items/gov.uscourts.mowd.117531/gov.uscourts.mowd.117531.docket.html

It was like BFL/Josh was GlaDOS from portal, constantly shouting insults at customers as they navigate some physics defying maze that has no true purpose, except to pass the time while we all wait for the cake to be ready.
Again, in retrospect, I apologize for losing my cool like I did. Please believe me when I say it really took a lot of bullshit to get me that riled up. While I'm not proud of it, I do take some small measure of comfort knowing that my rage was justified, given how things turned out, and the evidence that has come to light since then. http://ia802308.us.archive.org/32/items/gov.uscourts.mowd.117531/gov.uscourts.mowd.117531.docket.html |
