To you individually, do you believe startup PTSD is real and possible?

Do you yourself - or someone you know and/or love - have it?

I ask this as a young person who has had both success and failure in tech entrepreneurship, with particular moments from the hardships causing severe negative emotional reactions and ultimately (at least temporarily) debilitating me from accomplishing things effectively, if at all.

I’d really like to treat this like any problem in my life: acknowledge it, understand it, take responsibility for it, and work to improve it, but struggle to find authoritative related resources.

P.S. I wrote this via my phone while sitting on my couch in silence on a Friday evening pondering this. My apologies for any spelling or grammar errors.

Hi all, I'm looking for an application (whether paid or open source) that enables me to see the input on my Macbook Pro's [extremely large] touch pad.

I think it'd be cool to use ML to be able to get a person's heart rate (i.e., heart BPM) by simply letting the user rest their hand/wrist on the touch surface.

This discussion may very well have already occurred, but I'm curious as to how legal it is to fund a startup via an ICO (i.e., create a fancy lander with a lofty stated mission, draft out a whitepaper with a few nice graphics inserted to demonstrate to the public how your loft mission will be built out) these days? I know the SEC has implemented new rules but I don't know how they apply to a startup taking money from the public in the form of a currency which cannot be used to purchase anything.

I began pondering if this is the "new" method of fundraising for today's "leading-edge" tech entrepreneurs. I see many sites like https://sparkster.me/ advertising a sale of tokens and it makes me wonder if I've missed an opportunity to fund the growth of a startup (potentially to a large scale) without outside interest.
