Barbiturate withdrawal can absolutely kill you, as it is the same process of benzodiazepines and alcohol withdrawals. The other issue is that barbiturates themselves can easily kill you due their MOA, and low therapeutic index
According to a HN post, and basically nothing else that I can seem to find.
Who knows, maybe he's still alive and posted the death notice himself. Dude is/was a compulsive liar. There's still to this day no actual evidence that he genuinely has passed away (unless I'm just unable to find it)
The XT came out in 1983, it was a real piece of shit by 1989 standards
Not to mention, the PC was a pretty, uh, "challenging" platform for video games. It amazes me someone managed to port something as graphically sophisticated as PoP to an 8088 with CGA.
PCs were incredibly expensive at the time, though, and barely useful. Most people didn't buy a new one every two years, despite the fast progress in hardware development. So many people, especially kids, were stuck with "ancient" hardware. I had friends who had an 8088 PC or an Apple II in the late 90s.
Yeah, this is exactly why I couldn’t stay on it. I already deal with GAD and OCD, and whatever benefits it had for the depression were directly counteracted by the return of acute anxiety.
It was truly hellish. Feeling like I had this energy that I needed to use, while also feeling so anxious that I didn’t want to leave the apartment.
I know it works really well for some people but I was definitely not one of them.
It's an important rule if you want the liability protections associated with a limited liability corporation
If you just want to start a business, without any associated shell companies or liability transfers, it costs $0 and requires filing one sheet of paper. It is very easy!
You're missing the point. There shouldn't be any capital requirement just to get liability protections. No one is forcing counterparties to accept liabilities.
clearly german regulators and/or voters disagree, as is their right
nevertheless it is very easy to start a business, and this man is complaining about an entirely separate problem (it is difficult to create and incorporate two shell companies)
"Most people are not autodidacts because most people have no material reason to learn a specific topic (i.e. their job does not require it) and the problem with learning for the sake of learning is opportunity cost: there is no a priori reason to learn one thing over another, so better to do nothing and wait for something to appear which actually grabs your interest. Again, this is likely rational! Could you imagine if you found everything interesting? You’d spend years living in a basement curating a wiki of late Soviet military hardware or something."
Benzodiazepines, and alcohol, can actually induce death if you withdraw too quickly
