It not the original title but I'm not sure it's "misleading"

> Within weeks, Binance fired or suspended at least four employees involved in the investigation, according to the documents and three people with knowledge of the situation. The company cited issues such as “violations of company protocol” related to the handling of client data.


Wild that Binance's primary concern was that the privacy of the people committing crimes with their service was being violated.

Hear no evil, and let the money roll in.


That page is a few years old and it's much less the case now, which seems to disprove most of the broad cultural conclusions people are trying to draw based on it.

There seem to be two lawsuits. The more relevant one is that she is apparently now suing the school for negligence.

I think this is a better explanation of the situation: https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/27/us/connecticut-aleysha-ortiz-...

It seems like she needed special ed assistance with reading that she unfortunately wasn't getting.


The OP website is a right wing blog slop

I haven't read enough of the site to ascertain their political persuasion, but I'm allergic to the writing style. I notice...

Bah!

yeah the moment I saw

> California governor’s office candidate Matt Mahan told me about the Third Grade Reading Gate when I first met him last year. It’s how I knew he was legit and focused on the right things.

that put the rest of it in perspective for me


You seem to be describing yourself as a "schizotype" but isn't that also a similar label to the ones you are criticizing the proliferation of?

If you feel that the other labels are unhelpful why do you feel it is helpful to label yourself as a "schizotype"?


Exercise, therapy, and antidepressants have all been shown to have similar effect sizes for depression. It seems like some people take that to mean that therapy and antidepressants are pointless but unless there's some reason to think that the effects are mutually exclusive, a more reasonable interpretation is probably that it's good to try to do all of these things if possible if you are depressed.

And while they affect a similar percentage of people, they don't necessarily affect the same individuals. Same for therapy modalities, which often show similar efficacy in studies, but different efficacy for any given person.

So you've got to try different things and figure out what works for you.


> Same for therapy modalities, which often show similar efficacy in studies, but different efficacy for any given person.

It's even more complicated than that - you can probably click well and succeed with one therapist and get a completely ineffective treatment by another therapist and I'm not sure we even understand why that well (saying one therapist is better than the other is not always true). With it being the way it is , I think A.I actually could be another tool for people to try; not currently but once it improves enough with memory and reliability (I know many people are gonna downvote this but what's your alternative?).


  > what's your alternative?
Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) serum levels are inversely associated with depression's severity [1].

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3188695/

Give yourself a good BDNF boost through diet and/or exercise.

Ketogenic diet even improves on schizophrenia to the point that patients go off from medication [2] [3].

That's my alternative.


The only constant in effective therapy is that the client in good faith wants to make a change in their life/outlook. The therapy modalities are all tactics but the strategy remains the same

The problem is that people who are depressed often don't have the energy to change their lifestyle to start exercise, which requires significant effort.

That's why psychiatrists will suggest antidepressants or Electroconvulsive therapy (in extreme cases of depression) because clients are unable to help themselves.


Happens for physical heath too. I jumpstarted progress with GLP-1 and Statins and now I probably don't need them because I enjoy exercising and eating well.

Although exercise is the only one of those three that anyone can do immediately, right now, for free. There are barriers to obtaining therapy and medication which may be insurmountable for many.

Mens sana in corpore sano

Taking the antidepressant has become the dominant go to approach as it is more commercially profitable for the seller and easier to commit to for the taker.


Its also cheaper. A lot cheaper.

In the UK a GP can just lot prescribe an anti-depressant. There are waiting lists for NHS therapy and paying privately is expensive.


What does "lot prescribe" mean?

Bad edit "just prescribe"

> Taking the antidepressant has become the dominant go to approach

Cite?


i fully agree, but here's an advice for next time: HN (specifically americans, anglos too but not as much) is VERY pro medication. any suggestion they're taking too much pills will be downvoted

it's easier to just let them have their soma and say nothing


Notice that that Wikipedia page links to a disambiguation page which links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIKINI_state which may be more familiar to people in the UK than the meaning you are thinking of

Or make all the rooms smaller single rooms rather than intentionally building all the rooms as doubles?

Or don't require students (especially freshmen) to live in dorms so more people can live in apartments off campus to reduce the need for dorm rooms?


That’s not actually feasible. It’s cost prohibitive to refactor all the shared dorms and/or tear down and rebuild a significant fraction of on campus spaces.

The oat diet was two days and the effect lasted two weeks though so it's not as bad as eating nothing but it's all the to e


Rolled oats according to the paper


Thanks , I found it after clicking through to the actual nature paper, where it’s a detail buried deep down in the paper. They really should have mentioned it up front.
