I have a chronic illness that no doctor has been able to diagnose yet. Would be willing to pay money to the right person to help me out

Drop a contact email or something in your bio!

Wellness is way too broad for all of us to have applied familiarity in everything.

No promises, but I'll do my best to help try and identify some unusual stuff that may be going on, turn over some new rocks.

I've helped pull my partner, myself, and others out of some pretty deep holes, that a list of doctors could not.

edit: removed some info

you can contact me on my email, that would be soo helpful

Definitely hear you on that one. What's your experience been like?

Islam forbids interest, so religion kinda has something to do with banks. But capitalism uh.. finds a way

Yeah, I’m talking about Italy specifically here. You know.. the birthplace of modern banking.

it does not. there is absolutely no basis for "islam forbits interest".

the way "islamic banking" was envisioned, they created a problem then suggested an alternative which is the same thing, just with arabic names.

there is something called "shariah compliant banking" but "islamic banking" on its own is a misnomer and doesn't exist.

don't believe me, here is a video of Dr. Mohammad Shahrour on the subject.

its really short but brings home the idea.

your next question might be "so...whats islamic banking then". the answer is simple. when you can't fight in a free market so what you do is change the market so that customers automatically opt for your "superior" product as opposed to the competition.

You can read up on this by finding "why need for islamic banking" arose. the problem didn't exist till then so someone just literally invented it and then sold a solution

your answer really doesn't make sense to me, can you explain it a bit more?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riba

> While Muslims agree that riba is prohibited, not all agree on what precisely it is.[2][3] It is often used as an Islamic term for interest charged on loans,[Note 1] and the belief this is based on — that there is a consensus among Muslims that all loan/bank interest is riba — forms the basis of a $2 trillion Islamic banking industry

This is enough to negate what you said here:

>it does not. there is absolutely no basis for "islam forbits interest".

Could you explain what you mean here?

>the problem didn't exist till then so someone just literally invented it and then sold a solution

What problem didn't exist and what was invented and what was the solution?

we would call it different "installations"

No, this is not possible always.

- consider case where the task is CPU intensive but not so critical as to eat into other parts of the code

- consider the case where the task needs some data loaded for it to work. I don't think it is a good idea to have that data loaded into the monolith.

i find this whole mentor thing bit silly, why would some one want to mentor me for free?

As a person who has mentored people and is currently a mentor, I can name a number of reasons-

* to contribute to my company/community * to make myself a multiplier (I can do work or I can help 5 junior engineers be a little better at their work) * to learn myself (a great way to learn is by teaching) * to grow my breadth of knowledge (I hear about what other people are doing) * to grow my network * to improve my leadership/managerial skills * because people have invested time and mentorship in me

It's not really for free. There is a social expectation that you'll pay it forward by mentoring someone else in the future.

Also, the mentor gets a competent colleague who can meaningfully contribute in return for their time.

Why wouldn't you want to mentor someone for free? Passing down experience/wisdom to the next generation is rewarding in and of itself.

Thank you for saying this.

I’m kind of surprised by how many of these responses regard reciprocity.

Isn’t it enough to help make another person better?

I want to see cool ideas being built, I don't have time to build them all. Helping new founders is a way to do it.

Not all that seems free is free. Mentoring your team members, for example, results in better performance, more income, and larger TC eventually.

I think there is some impact, for finding the correct price of things.

That impact is not made by HFT - finding the right risk premia for different investments is very valuable but that is a signal measured over days/weeks/months because actual capital investment decisions take that long.

Intraday financial games are zero-sum. What HFTs gain, they leech away from mutual funds and pension funds and retail investors and market makers who operate over a longer horizon.

sorry, i don't believe inequality is rising, at least in ways that matter. in the last 50 years, a substantial number of people were pulled out of poverty.

Obviously this would mean that countries that previously relied on subsidised labour from those third world countries would have to start paying up. I'm not suggesting that it is a zero sum game however.

Indians are hired because the wages they ask are much lower. Do you agree that this benefits citizens of Australia too? Australia has a small population, it can not develop a work force with specialised skills. If it could, then the wages asked by its citizens would be much higher, and these costs would be passed to the regular citizen.

European citizens voted in genociders. According to this logic, europeans were also genociders

what could the gastroenterologist possibly do to help in this case? i do have GERD and fragmented sleep, after having gone to multiple gastroenterologists, i still haven't got help for this particular issue. any suggestions? it would massively help me.

A gastroenterologist should treat GERD (to the extent possible) then we should be checking sleep. As soon as GERD is under treatment a consultation with a sleep laboratory could be considered since some reflux may still happen during the night and may result in (mostly central apneas).

My Gerd went away when I cut out anything that triggered it. Curiously, depression went better as well.

Sadly that left me with mostly meat and coffee
