More like cooperation than rivalry. But you are right that the "talk therapists" typically are educated as (practicing) psychologists. Unless they are also MDs they cannot write prescriptions, and work together with those who can (when needed). Sort of like surgeons and anesthesiologists, although the analogy is weak, of course.


surgeons and physiotherapists was an analogy that sprung to mind


Yeah, that's good too.


Many professional therapists are working online now. There are advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Sometimes it is better for a patient to be at home in a comfortable situation during a session. Sometimes visiting the therapist in an office provides a welcome change of scenery.

In some cases, such as certain addiction clinics, the patients are required (by law, if I remember correctly) to visit the clinic, at least for some sessions.


Well, that may be hard to quantify.


...and a standard joke.


Ouch. Have you passed the Turing test?


"It depends"

First, are we talking about what _is_ or what _should be_?

Second, what is the business logic behind the choice of Date versus Time to represent data (a data point or a segment) in the timeline? And is that logic consistent with the original design, and therefore with how the data have been collected?

There is more, of course. Lots more, some touched upon in the article and comments.


Well if that's the case then the interview process was not well put together.


Why is that?

I've had a similar interview where I was interviewing and this came up, the interviewee didn't pass but it wasn't because they said GETs could have bodies. That was just one of the reasons, and they would've passed if that was the only "wrong" answer.

If they had explained that you could indeed have a body in a GET request, even if it went against the spec and you'd probably have to modify you existing body parser to comply, I would have accepted the answer as "correct". What matters is if you can explain your answer, not if you can answer yes or no questions.

In the end they didn't explain their reasoning and I just said that GETs can indeed have a body, but it goes against the spec, so it's gonna be hard unless "you own the entire stack", like a parallel comment said here. This way they have a base to explore more info later and improve for their next interview.


What a horrible advice. People absolutely do not have to share your attitudes and priorities. And you are saying it to a person just starting a career! I am glad to see the majority of the comments have been supportive and constructive, like HN usually is.


GS being scum is not a subjective opinion.

"I was just doing my job" is why the planet is so fucked, and it's better to realise that at the outset of your career than the end.


Yes it is subjective, that's the point.


Bullshit. By any objective measure they are responsible for huge evil.

I'm sure drooling morons, enablers, and the complicit will screech otherwise, but they're badly wrong.


I am all for being like the bonobos but you forgot to describe some important details...


Independence in the quotes makes me feel concerned about the future of Europe. :-(
