Unfortunately, tianeptine is not quite the wonder drug people hoped it would be.

It does increase serotonin reuptake (thus resulting in lower serotonin concentrations), but this is believed to be unrelated to its anti-depressant and relaxant effects. You can see a debunking here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuptake_enhancer

Tianeptine was found to simply be an opioid receptor agonist. In other words, it's just a mild opioid, sort of like codeine. Obviously, opioids and opiates can improve mood.

But it's a weak agonist, and the opioid receptors it targets are less implicated in the addiction and powerful euphoria associated with morphine or heroin. So, taken in low doses (the standard dose is very low), dependence and tolerance can remain low, and it can effectively improve mood over a long period of time. But increasing the dose will result in typical opioid euphoria, tolerance, and withdrawal effects.

Perhaps more importantly, it doesn't treat the root cause of depression in many people; it merely masks it. Sure, SSRIs often don't treat the root cause either, though for people with specific serotonin issues, they can. But an opioid or opiate is always just going to be a "layer" over your depression.

It also tends not to help people who struggle with avolition and lack of motivation or energy; it may even do the opposite, as opioids are wont to do.

But it will help with your mood. And it not treating the root cause is not necessarily a bad thing if it improves your enjoyment of life and your ability to function.

For many people, an SSRI will be more effective than tianeptine. For those who do not have any serotonin imbalance, tianeptine could be better.
> Yes, your additional option is to be extorted into paying a 25% fee.

How is offering a previously non-existent option extortion, again? Now, if the officers are not stating it as an option, then that is of course a complaint to be made. But nothing in the EFF article indicates this as a problem, so I don't know where this language is coming from. The subject (for lack of a better word here) is perfectly welcome to not take the roadside payment option, be detained, and pay after detainment without any additional fee. Which is exactly what would have happened without any of this.

> First, the leveraging of state fines, backed by government force, disproportionally affects the poor. The poor are damaged most, because they do not have the money to pay the fines.

The fines being discussed are only those related to copias pro fine, which means that a judgement was already delivered through a court and that judgement was not satisfied. If you want to argue for inequality against the poor in judgements, that's fine, but it's at best a tangentially related point and one I'm not interested in arguing. This system is purely in the realm of after all that has happened, and has no effect there.

> Finally, the most important part of this piece is that the state of Texas has set up a massive dragnet surveillance operation at the state level.

The data sharing is of course an issue, and I support the EFF in fighting against that. But that is also a separate issue than the option being provided to extinguish these warrants without being detained.
The system I witnessed set up in the UK seems reasonable, if you allow that such a system can ever be reasonable. The cameras capture plates entering and exiting a multiple mile stretch of highway and if your average speed exceeds the threshold, you get cited.

No worries about momentary speeding and no need to immediately slam on the brakes as happens with single location cameras in the US.

It's a shame how Nvidia is able to close up the market, there has, traditionally, been great competition between AMD and Nvidia in that space.
It uses a very different dependency resolution algorithm, the biggest difference as I understand it is it will install dependencies maximally flat whereas npm 2 was much more nested.

I believe the reason it is slower is it can't do as much parallelism as npm 2. Also, npm 2 was susceptible to a lot of race conditions and non-determinism, especially with compiled dependencies.

> No economic rule I know of guarantees that to be the case.

Certainly there is no economic rule, however, I think that most people generally believe that for most of human history it has been the case that at least in the medium-to-long-term, top line growth does accrue pretty cleanly to the middle 50%.

There are certainly some people that are starting to wonder if this is no longer the case but personally I'm always pretty skeptical of "this time it's different!" arguments so am unconvinced by the evidence to date. Who knows what the future will hold though!
For the purposes of testing, obtaining feedback, iterating and finding a market, I think packaging a tool as an app has more drawbacks than benefits. There are too many dependencies on third parties and too many assumptions about customers.

Of particular note, this also works on Android Chrome. So a site can send push notifications much like an app can. The Facebook mobile site uses it, so I've been able to remove the Facebook app entirely from my phone.

Question: does the model account for general increase in energy use, within the timespan of (and, possibly, also as a consequence of) Bitcoin growing to reach that market cap, or is 0.74% just the absolute amount of energy as a cut of today's total usage?

If the latter, 0.74% seems less alarming, as it would surely be less when growth is accounted for, especially considering that some of this growth would likely (hypothetically) be driven by an increase in both production and consumption as a direct consequence of the use of Bitcoin, with all the benefits that brings.

But either way, it does still seem moderately alarming, albeit as a kneejerk reaction to the figure without much critical analysis. It's a very interesting economic question as to whether investing this order of energy consumption into Bitcoin would be worth it, both for individuals and for society(ies). I expect many an economics PhD will be minted on this very topic!

>First, the leveraging of state fines, backed by government force, disproportionally affects the poor.

As a Texan with family in law enforcement, I get to watch this unfold daily. But here's a question for you, why is law enforcement levy and collect so many fines? The individual officer does not directly benefit from giving out so many tickets (other than keeping his job).

One of the large issues we have now is the court system financed via these fines. There have been many attempts to collect more tax dollars to directly fund the court but that is almost always shot down by groups such as the grassroots movement. This is a direct failure of not the poor people, but the middle class taxpayer that has now put the burden on the poor. The middle and upper class want (I'd say even demand) effective law enforcement, and this is how they've figured out to keep it running without causing to much political strife.
This is attributing an awful lot of malice to the FF team. They acknowledged they were wrong and got the fix out. Sometimes it takes a bit of pushing to understand the impact of a bug; we've all been there.

The entire post is about recommendations to avoid this sort of thing in the future and make the FF dev process friendlier for add-on developers. Reading your comment it sounds like their attitude towards add-on devs is "go pound sand", but it certainly doesn't seem like it to me based on this post.
I think the point of these releases by the EFF is to call attention to an issue. It's not supposed to present both sides of an issue or offer an objective, reasoned, solution or response. (Other EFF releases have been scorned here on HN for being too hyperbolic.)

The EFF is an advocacy organization with a distinct viewpoint and they produce these releases to bring about attention, discussion, and hopefully news media coverage, to an injustice.

If I might suggest, channel your anger toward a letter to your representatives or perhaps a letter to the editor of your local news publication. Frequently the EFF will call out specific politicians who support troubling legislation so you can express displeasure to them directly.
If you're a "just get shit done" person, fine, go use a framework. I've just been burned too many times.

It's not about complexity per se, it's about use cases the framework designers did not envision beforehand. Soon as you're in one of those, your goose is cooked. If the framework just does what you want and gets out of the way then great. But in my experience the pain is not worth whatever benefit a framework provides.

IP and port are required for routing, and as such aren't protected. The hostname is (usually) exposed through DNS, and is required for the server to know which certificate to send.

Also, usually (almost) everything is exposed on the first request, before the server has got the chance to redirect to the encrypted version. At that point, the ISP/interceptor could just replace the redirect...
Valid point, but the reason why I didn't factor in the cost of the smartphone is because I am assuming the vast majority of the intended audience already owns a smartphone. A Macbook is not required to develop for Arduino + Unity. Any cheap PC will do.
Not a shame for game developers. It's nice to have some ability to predict that the failure modes where cards diverge from specification will tend to diverge along the same paths, because they're made by the same vendor.

Granted, it'd be preferable to live in a world where the drivers and hardware are open and inspectable (so you don't have to debug graphics issues as a black-box problem), but we've never lived in that world and between the likelihood of AMD's initiative taking root and a de-facto Nvidia monopoly, I'd rather have the monopoly.
Please refrain from adding unhelpful comments to the issue.
You're missing the point. Of course he has to pay. The punishment of spending a night (or weekend, if you get unlucky) in jail so you can see a judge in the morning is disproportionate to either losing or neglecting to pay a small fine.

It should not be the choice between go to jail for the night, or pay a third party private company an extra 25%.

Basically why does this exist? Those that can afford to generally pay these fines eventually when they go to renew tabs/get pulled over/whatever. Those that can't afford them won't pay them either way, and this just makes their already shitty lives shittier by likely putting them out of work.

There were times I got to work and back barely making ends meet when I had outstanding warrants for unpaid tickets. I did what I had to do to feed my family, got back on my feet, and paid them off. Automated scanners at every turn would have put me out of work, and minimum out of the bottom rungs of the career I currently enjoy.

At some point you need to stop kicking people while their down, and use a little common sense. Extorting them another 25% or ruining their lives is ridiculous.

I agree you need a way to go after scofflaws, but the they are a very small minority in a very wide sea of folks kind of caught up in a system they are unlikely to get out of. If you think Payday loan stores are bad, just get in debt to the government.

If you're gaining weight, it means you're eating more than your body can burn, so you need to eat less.

Or your body is skipping the usable energy stage completely for some foods and storing them as fat directly without it ever having the chance to be used. Then some of the food you eat makes you gain weight regardless of the amount of activity you do - you just run out of energy and get fat.

The mistake you're making is assuming that humans are perfect machines for turning food in to energy, and simple mechanics means extra energy is stored as fat. It's far more complex than that.

We are subtly turning everyone into a criminal without their knowledge. It's pretty common to be fined for an infraction without immediate notification (red light / speed cameras, etc). The system is 100% effective at levying the fines, but not 100% effective at notifying people that they've been fined.

People absolutely do get wrongfully arrested or detained because of clerical errors related to fines.

There is a solution for this when it comes to the Push API spec (not for Safari though).

When a notification is received, the browser's Service Worker can send an "I got this" webhook event back to the sender. The sender can then decide if they wish to send a message to other browsers that user may have installed. Note that this does also require a user to be logged in to the site so they can be identified across both browsers.

You are right on this one, bitcoin is a large an noneffective resource waste. Our world need to have ideas to make an energy transition, and bitcoin is based on energy waste, mainly produced by carbon resources.

Our future world need energy, and we cannot afford burning real material to create a virtual money with no practical value, this is a nonsense.
Nope. In other news, we still call them "hard drives," even when nothing is driven.
I will explain.

Firstly, I think you are underestimating the societal impact that would have led a cryptocurrency to be worth $1 trillion. It would mean it has succeeded on a massive scale: foreign trade made more fluid thanks to Bitcoin's disregard of political borders, hundreds of millions of people using it to escape inflation/financial restrictions/etc (vs. today's few million users), millions of merchants accepting it (vs. today's 130 000 merchants). All Bitcoin would have to accomplish to justify using 0.X% of the world's energy is to increase the world GDP by 0.X%.

Secondly, 0.74% is an upper bound. It assumes power costs of $0.01 per kWh (read section 2 at http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=82) when actually the average power cost worldwide is 10x higher ($0.10/kWh). Maybe it will be 0.3% of the total energy. Maybe 0.1%. How low is low enough that you would consider it worthwhile?
Given this it is strange the conventional wisdom is ideas are cheap. Why let evidence get in the way of ideology.

> If the poor end of the wealth gap are still better off than 90% of the rest of the world, why does the wealth gap matter?

Standard of living increases have come almost exclusively through technological progress. Access to basic survival needs like food (Google "food desert") and shelter (look at rent prices for the past year) is primarily driven by capital speculation by the upper classes.

The repeal of much of the commercial anti-trust regulation in the United States (http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/11/cities-e...) enabled capital-consolidating retailers like Walmart to come to a position where they can drive out competitors through predatory pricing (not always noticeable from Walmart's own books because sometimes it is passed down the supply chain). After driving local retailers out of business in some places, as expected some of the speculative expansion does not pay off and Walmart stores have to be closed. Now some regions in the USA are left without access to food: http://time.com/money/4192512/walmart-stores-closing-small-t...

Similarly, anti-development NIMBY policies lobbied for by the upper classes (artificial limit on supply of building sites) combined with the REITs they invest in (impossible for REITs to generate decent returns on B-class housing due to shortage of sites and the huge amount of capital needing to be invested) are the causes responsible for the huge increase in rent prices in major US metropolitan areas.

By far the biggest harm that comes from the wealth gap are the austerity policies pushed by the upper classes to prevent people from having access to education and healthcare. I now need both hands to count the number of acquaintances that have resorted to being sugar babies on Seeking Arrangements or just plain prostitution to help them pay their way through college.
