In other words, older companies put barriers to entry for new comers through government intervention such as licenses, patents, copyrights.

But even though government intervention tried to cut risks, or to ban offensive activities, they still exist. Look at how many "hairdressers" from "Pakistan" are in the west, or how much "slavery" still exist although its illegal. Banning alcohol made it go into the underground route and made Capones rich.

The decline of western civilization is happening right now.
It depends on what you're writing and where you're putting those writes. Flash drives survive this level of activity because they intelligently queue up the writes and don't aggressively re-write cells unless it's necessary.
> PROVE IT.

Actually, you need to prove that Roundup is safe.

The burden of proof should be on those introducing new agents into the ecosystem; not on those who are affected by the chemical agent.

So to summarise - no-one would choose Python for building GUI apps if it wasn't for the obsession modern companies have with being first-to-market?

If I've been unfair or misunderstood then can you please explain a bit more clearly how we got from a discussion about using Python for GUI applications to a statement that it's somehow about commercial pressures to release an app. It certainly doesn't match my own reasons for learning and using Python or those of anyone I've met.
In some cases Universities wield considerable power over their neighborhoods: the university police department is the neighborhood police department, the university owns most of the off-campus land, talks businesses into setting up shop in the area and rents them commercial space, shapes urban planning to suit its needs, etc. "Neighborhood Outreach" can be more of a municipal government than a PR department.
Did your employer provide the MSDS for glyphosate before having you work with it?

There are risks when working with it in large quantities. That is much different than having any risk in food.
That's a legitimate worry, but it all lifts during the trip, when you realize that it's totally not about that.

This is the reason for the depression lifting, by the way.

Depressed people are stuck in infinite loops mostly involving their 'social self'.

When they trip, they realize that "I" has so many more facets than just the social self (ego) - that "I" is also part (and at the center) of an infinite stream of energy - "Universe" , that time is an illusion, that all living beings are part of the same organism, etc, etc.

There is so much more to "I" than just our "problems", "goals" and "aspirations", but we tend to forget that.
Psychedelics help you remember - and that's why they are so powerful and also scary for the establishment.

It helped me a lot more now (in my late 30s) than it did when I was younger. Now, when you understand "life" a lot better, you can really integrate the experience and derive positive and useful conclusions from it.

Fund Yourself: A Justin Bieber Startup Parody
We use CF and haven't seen any 503 issues recently. We don't use their DNS service since that's down more often than it's up, so it's possible that's what you're seeing?

As for the article, you can just set CF to 'Essentially Off' and it doesn't do anything stupid.

If you configure CF properly, it's hard to beat.

FWIW we've used Cotendo, Akamai, EdgeCast/Verizon, etc. For $200/month, CF can't be beat. It's not as fast as EC (easily the fastest CDN for most of the planet), but it's also 15x cheaper.

I hope you didn't sign with Akamai.

It's true. I tell all my friends / family if you're going to do mushrooms for the first time, do them with me. I've seen the worst of trips and only my experience in knowing "I'm just high" kept me stable. Newcomers can't call on this experience so readily and will undoubtedly think they're the special exception that is going to die.

I also have more advice for newcomer shroomers: one thought can spiral downward or upward. Try your best to stay optimistic and open to the experience. You will not understand everything that happens (and this is a good thing because it's how people walk away feeling like they learned something), but you need to stay open and firm in your conviction that you're ok. As soon as you tell yourself "I think I'm going to die", you will create your own personal hell.

People think "innocence" isn't a feeling -- it's a judgment. They're wrong. Mushrooms evoke a feeling of innocence that brings the typical user back to a childhood state of mind. And while children are pretty stupid (no fault of their own), their perception is typically void of petty judgments adults cling to (by fault of their own). In this newfound awareness, just like a kid, you feel that anything is possible and yearn for adventure. It's a wonderful experience and is what makes mushrooms my #1 recommended drug.
This feels like the makings of an off-line equivalent of a supercookie - people that visited X-store must be interested in Y-goods, plus you can cross-ref your customer data with such a database and create a deep profile. You don't need a social network corpus for that, though one would make matching and new customer identification easier.

And unless you are into serious plastic surgery, there isn't really a clear cookies button with this tech.

EDIT: a.k.a. the Minority Report billboard/storefront that changes based on people around it.

Same works for any kind of identification of interests, including political - if your CCTV network captures faces of people who attended an opposition rally, you get to match them to other venues, spot patterns and recognize leaders/organizers.

This assumes that the HSR would operate at full theoretical capacity, which wouldn't be true of all potential lines. If a locality is deciding between HSR and Hyperloop, it would be better to compare costs based on projected passenger load. That measure would presumably benefit Hyperloop on lower-activity lines, where HSR would have difficulty recouping costs, and HSR on higher-activity lines.
Anyway, is it how you make apps?
This is plain incorrect. Software development (all-Russian classifier of types of economic activities code 72.20) is taxed here, just as any other business. /offtopic
This misses the problem -- often, the new feature is buggy in ways that are not seen in the initial testing. In critical systems, it's often desirable to keep the ability to flip back to the old code around for a couple of release cycles. In a previous life, that has saved my team's bacon.

This comes at a cost, and somehow saying "just delete the flags promptly" is a facile solution; If it was easy to just delete them quickly, it would be even easier to just land the change without the flag, and use rollbacks as your 'undo a bad feature' hammer.
I guess service workers might solve a lot of issues here. You could do weird stuff like basically serving a tar file for all assets and use a service worker to handle individual requests.
The "anti-science" epithet that tends to get thrown at the people who are against GMOs is a good example of this. We don't see people who are against the use of other technology labeled as such, even if they are on similar weak footing (IE, the AI-apocalypse folks). It's somewhat arbitrary which technology it's OK to be against when your reasons are weak, and which technology it's anti-scientific to be against when your reasons are weak.
> next to useless

No study or scientific curiosity is "next to useless". You are being intentionally antagonistic and there's no need for that. All research has to start somewhere, and this study is a significant start to this field. In no way is it or its conclusions "next to useless".
Newegg doesn't do this, but Newegg does allow third party sellers on their website so the third party sellers still may be selling garbage.

The trace amounts of roundup left on food crops is below any measured harm level.

People who work with it in fields should be careful. Consumers have a thousand other things more dangerous to worry about.
You have to understand that for many scientists, work like this is darn near akin to climate change denial. You can only repeat yourself so many times debunking this garbage before you start trying to be creative. And you can only be so creative before you go crazy.

*It's not exactly like climate change denial. There's still a small chance that glyphosates have serious dangers and there are always other chemicals, and combinations of chemicals to research. But that doesn't excuse the shoddy science and hysteria that swarms around these issues like flies on turds.

That's also why I can't take medical cannabis serious. With medicine you want exact doses and cut all stuff that's potentially giving by-effects. So what you want is e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabiximols
Enterprise LTSB (as opposed to just Enterprise) is least of your problems, it's a niche Windows release, not supposed to be used by end-users, but rather by systems like kiosks, ATMs, medical devices, and other devices that shouldn't break, and doesn't need new features in an operating system.

I doubt many LTSB browsers browse the internet (beyond perhaps having a website open in kiosk mode disallowing entering other websites), and even if they do, not with IE.
I tell you how. Posts like this claiming they are cutting-edge will enable to once again take control of browsers and once they are at the top, they will start playing their monopoly game. And the cycle will start again.

This is missing the point. The choice you pose can only be made if we're all well informed and make that risk assessment, but we haven't been, so can't. Unless you can tell me how many people have died as a result of exposure to Roundup ( no one knows ), then I don't think your argument has any weight. As an aside, the farmers using these chemicals are the ones most at risk.

Companies claiming their products are safe, when they are not is the real story here, and how even when scientists were warning of dangers in 2001, those warnings were not heeded by regulators in a serious enough manner that it's taken this long to "prove" that the chemicals are unsafe.
Maybe it should be.

The ACLU or EFF need to jump on this case. The precident set by this is too important to leave to some randomly assigned public defender.
Correct, and leads me back to my original point. Our nation's best minds are simply not in politics - they're in business, engineering, finance, or are retired.

Anyone even suggesting that we take the lowest bid by default is unfit for office.
That said, the image I linked specifically named Glyphosate while the story you posted appears to be saying that it wasn't Glyphosate, it was the co-formulants that are a problem, unless I'm misunderstanding?
Firstly, while this is nothing like proper clinical trials, there are plenty of people who have anecdotes about psychedelics helping their depression before the idea of studying this was a thing.

Secondly, if a placebo has a really high rate of success, and less side effects than currently available medication, then it could still be interesting.

And thirdly, it's going to be really, really hard to test against placebos. They're using quite strong doses to get these results, and I think it would be very hard to not realise you weren't getting the psychedelic effects unless you went into the test with literally no prior understanding of what effects the non-placebo drug would have.

But yes, a lot of research still to do. I'm rather optimistic, though.
Congrats on the launch, this looks like an amazing product that made immediate sense to me. I have a feeling the Ionic community is going to be quite drawn to this over time.

> So, if you want to use it you need to demonstrate harm.

That's a false dichotomy. We cannot have perfect knowledge about everything that could possibly help or harm society. We need to retain the ability to act in its absence.

> I really don't know, but I also accept I don't know.

Not all things should be treated this way, but in the case of kiddie porn, I'd argue that defaulting to the stance that all conduct in this space being morally wrong, perhaps even criminal, is justified.

It's tempting to want an ideological framework that preserves sanctity of thought so that we don't have to consider that we, ourselves might be morally wrong on occasion, but the world doesn't work that way. The mere fact that millions of people want something is enough to create a market in violence and suffering. Whether it's children, rhinos, or slaves. (I use market in a non-economic sense here, any venue for satisfying a desire is a market)

That'd be a great question to ask Louis CK, for sure. But there is no way to compare without knowing the data, which I didn't have.

One problem with these discussions is that even questioning GMOs (whether you generally accept them or not) will get you labeled as "anti-science". Stifling inquiry is the real "anti-science" stance.

There are extremely powerful and moneyed interests that put a lot of effort into PR campaigns for their products and against anyone who finds fault with them, regardless of how sound the science is. Just because there may be subtle problems with a real scientific study on GMO safety done by a real scientist doesn't make the whole thing "anti-science". It's such a stupid label. Most scientific studies will reveal flaws with enough scrutiny.

Depends on your definition of everyone. I for one trigger significantly less on THC.

It can also be argued that THC sounds more like a synthesised or refined version consisting of the active ingredients.
If you wanted to define a type-safe person struct, you could do it with:

(defstruct person
(age 0 :type fixnum)
(name "" :type string))

Now every access to that person structure should be checked by the compiler. You can create a person like:

(setf p (make-person :age 7 :name "fred"))
=> #S(PERSON :AGE 7 :NAME "fred")

But not with:
(setf p (make-person :age 7 :name 8))

which causes SBCL to error with:
The value 8 is not of type STRING.
[Condition of type TYPE-ERROR]

Equally, if you tried wrongly to define

(defun print-hello (person)
(let ((name (string-upcase (person-age person))))
(format t "Hallo ~a!~%" name)))

You get at least a warning you should heed:
; caught WARNING:
; Asserted type (OR (VECTOR CHARACTER) (VECTOR NIL) BASE-STRING SYMBOL CHARACTER)
; conflicts with derived type (VALUES FIXNUM &OPTIONAL).

So, for refactoring, you would change the type signatures of your struct and then recompile all code to see whether the compiler generates errors/warnings.

We all been there with weed, but the root of this behavior lies within yourself. Weed just makes you more sensitive, which can be amazing provided you know how to (1) confront your demons honestly & (2) find an activity you enjoy.

Without (1), you'll never get (2) and believe me, as someone who smokes everyday, (1) will come up from time to time when things aren't going well with your life. That's when you gotta smoke and mentally sort out what's going on.

Weed leaves you in a slightly-crippled state insofar as your self-defenses don't work as well. As a result, thoughts from the subconscious creep upwards to the conscious level. As much as it "hurts", it's good to be fully aware and honest with yourself.
Agreed. One might say to take the conclusion with a grain of salt, but "next to useless" is being overly dismissive.

We used ZFS in production for a year and it was the worst decision we'd ever made, precisely for this reason.

Also, removing files uses up an insane amount of CPU and can block all FS operations if you get into the 80%+ full situation.

Google was paying out $1 per Chrome install for a long time, which is why you saw it being heavily distributed through all sorts of shady channels like monetized installers.

For context, a payout of $0.10 for a bundled install would have been considered really good back then; a payout 10x that amount meant you'd pull every dirty trick in the book to get as many installs as possible.
Most of the things the government "produces" are not produced by the government. They're sent out for bidding by private companies - roads, guns, websites, whatever - and the government is in charge of oversight.

And the fact that they've been proven incapable at oversight and management should figure into the planning.

And the thing is it's sadly not a lie. YouTube and such do work best with Chrome. Google's effective web vertical integration means they control every stage of the pipeline. They control the sites and the browser. They can deploy experimental tech in Chrome which nobody knows about and which only Google sites use.

It's terrifying.
This was the first thing I noticed too. What's the point of a slider if I can't watch it change as I slide? It'd make more sense to just show me a series of images or possibly allow me to select what I'm looking at based on some kind of button or something. The slider interface makes it feel like something that you should see changing live.

Yep, that seems like a reasonable compromise to me.
That's a ridiculous comparison. No one is developing desktop style applications using sed just because it is turing complete, and there ain't billions of people using this software running on sed.

If the web was such a terrible application platform then it would not have been able to stomp the traditional desktop as much as it already has so far.
If you're looking from an investor point of view (the audience for different profitability metrics) then even the most vague measure of profitability is more relevant than whether it drastically changes the life of users - it you would want that, then you'd look for the charities with most impact per dollar instead of gifting that money to finance the burn rate of an unprofitable (but interesting) tech startup.
