New comment by chillycurve in "As a psychiatrist, I diagnose mental illness, and help spot demonic possession (2016)"

chillycurve — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 17:44:41 +0000

This exact career is that of the protagonist in Evil, my wife and I's favorite show. The show is led by a Catholic priest and an atheist psychiatrist (possibly a -gist in the show) tasked with investigating demon possessions.

Highly recommend it. It is written by a married couple, one Catholic and one atheist. It takes the supernatural seriously without getting hokey or dismissive.

New comment by chillycurve in "Ask HN: A check from PayPal to me was stolen and cashed. What can I do?"

chillycurve — Tue, 15 Aug 2023 15:45:47 +0000

Slightly off-topic: has PayPal become unusable in the browser for anyone else? When using Firefox, no VPN, no ad blocking, I get some nondescript error that bounces me from the login screen. My IP must be on some list, but it is really annoying.

Edit: The status page and home page were down for me for about 15 minutes (checked on multiple devices and networks). Now they load about half of the time, but are very slow. Might be a load issue in this region of their CDN or something. My hosted services are fine, as far as I can tell.

New comment by chillycurve in "US Air Force colonel ‘misspoke’ about drone killing pilot"

chillycurve — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 16:10:01 +0000

This is a full retraction of the previously discussed story:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36159866

Seems like a big story to publish on the word of a single person (relayed through a blog post) with no other corroboration.

Shame on The Guardian for not mentioning the retraction/edits and simply reusing the same URL.

chillycurve — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 15:06:10 +0000

I wonder how the current cell carriers have to charge $50+ to be profitable in a hyper-competitive space, but Amazon has the margins to consider throwing it in for free?
