"One of them, Morganella, was significantly increased in a microbial survey of the 181 people in the study who _later_ developed depression."

they would have been diagnosed with depression first leading to increase in morganella, if it was the other way around? agree this could be correlation, but I guess thats why they say that the field is still in its infancy.

I have struggled to work with similar issues in the past (especially the initial part of the presentation) and appreciate the author addressing this. More often than not I go back to the strategy of separating the opinions from the person.

The separation of opinions from the person changes the dynamics in my head. I still find it hard to work with people who don't do that separation. Discussions with them can be tricky. If I am fortunate, I come out of the discussion learning a lot with wider spectrum of things to consider. However in some occasions I am just drained intellectually and emotionally with opinions such as: I have done this before and just trust me.

I feel soft emotional skills are as much important as core intellectual competency of a person. More study/awareness on this front is always welcome!

In a trusted environment, I have found managing software updates and verifying that the updates are safe, challenging. Will be curious to know, how regular Linux kernel OS updates and runtime updates are managed by the CoreOS. Will there be someone verifying if the OS and runtime updates are safe and not compromising?

This is definitely a step in the right direction in the adoption of trusted computing.

One of the major attractions of MS SQL Server 2014 is memory optimized tables (Hekaton engine) which removes locks completely from the database through snapshot versioning of rows. Does postgresql has anything similar to that?
