One of the biggest mental health improvements I’ve ever made was to interrupt negative thoughts with 3 positive observations.

2018 was hard for many of us; in 2019 I'd encourage you to try this mental experiment.

What are 3 good things in your life? lengstorf.com/how-to-be-posi…
Here are mine:

1. @marisamorby and I bought a house in Portland, near our families.
2. I’ve been getting to know the tech community in Portland, and y’all are such a wonderful crew.
3. I joined the team at @gatsbyjs and have been doing the most rewarding work of my career. 💜
Bonus 4. @TheNateGreen is moving back to Portland (I pick him up from the airport today!) so I get my best friend back. lengstorf.com/best-friends

I can take a crack at a list. (Though most of what the original list says is applicable in web dev, too.)
How are you measuring things? Who's doing that work? (Every measured interaction requires a bit of custom coding and testing.)
Who's actually REVIEWING the data you're measuring? Who turns that into an actual todo list?

@ClinpsychLucy I would respectfully like to disagree. You were a lead author for a report on “The Power Threat Meaning Network” where the following claims were made. “Evidence for biological causation is not only absent in relation to the diagnosis of ‘schizophrenia’....” (page 153) (1/)
@ClinpsychLucy And “..there is no consistent evidence for primary biological influences...” (p154). These two statements seem to suggest that you don’t believe that biology plays a big role. Also, when referring to medication for conditions such as ADHD and schizophrenia, the report uses..(2/)
@ClinpsychLucy ..very negative language. As if medication is forced on people and it regularly has massively harmful side effects. Current ONS data on deaths by poisoning from both antipsychotics and antidepressants show that the numbers dying from the use is relatively small and has not (3/)

1/ One of the biggest reasons companies fail is co-founder breakups.

Here are some evolving thoughts on why they happen and how to avoid them.

Add your own thoughts, tactics, and words of advice on the topic of co-founder breakups.
2/ Sometimes they fail because they were poor matches to begin with.

- Values mismatch: e.g. One never wants to sell, another wants to sell early.
- Skills mismatch: e.g One scales as the co grows, the other was only helpful in the beginning.
3/ Other times it’s because they had different expectations and never had the tough conversations early.

Admittedly, these differences are difficult to assess.

Until you are faced with a truly challenging decision, you may not be able to understand where/how you disagree.

I want to tell you guys a story about how it all started #10YearsALearner #10YALpodcast
In 2008, I worked as a PR and marketing executive at an event and image consulting company in VI and I was treated well. But I wanted more. I wanted a bigger challenge so I told Kely dear friend and inspiration @iamtheOsagie #10YearsALearner #10YAL
@iamtheOsagie 2 weeks later.. I got a call from @iamtheOsagie and that was the beginning of an adventure…

O: Hey Godwin. Are you still bored?
Me: lol… You have something for me?
O: Would you like to manage an artist?
me: Who?
O: His name is MI
me: ok… send music

Right so, some thoughts about one of the biggest mental stumbling blocks that interferes with dating on a surprising number of levels.

The Just World Fallacy. /1
The short version of The Just World fallacy is that good things happen to good people, bad things happen to bad people.

Slightly longer and more in depth version is here: youarenotsosmart.com/2010/06/07/the… /2
You may have seen a twisted variation of this on Twitter recently with the whole “if someone abused you, it’s because God has a plan for you” bullshit that went viral recently.

“Sexual/emotional/physical abuse is good, actually…” /3

Thread on how to review papers about generic improvements to GANs
There are a lot of papers about theoretical or empirical studies of how GANs work, papers about how to do new strange and interesting things with GANs (e.g. the first papers on unsupervised translation), new metrics, etc. This thread isn't about those.
There are also a lot of papers about GANs as part of a larger system, like GANs for semi-supervised learning, differential privacy, dataset augmentation, etc. This thread also isn't about those---evaluate them in terms of the larger system's application area.
