I don't know that it is bad for novices to have some framework in which to interpret and assimilate what is often a very intense experience. A reasonable degree of nuance might suggest that, while there's perhaps quite a lot of reason to blame people experienced enough to know better for making more (less?) of it than it merits, there's no reason to blame people who lack that experience for wanting, especially their first time, something a little more special than just "oh, drop some acid like a normal person".

"The entire market has dramatically shifted to light trucks and SUVs with gas under $3 a gallon."

I did a double take at that as price per gallon seems markedly lower than when I was last in the US.

UK prices ratchet seemingly inexorably upwards. When US prices peaked in 08 at $4.50 we paid pretty much exactly what we pay now - £5 approx. Tax is around 65% of pump price, though it's been higher in the past.

I assume there's no US attempts to increase taxation to combat clmate change and encourage alternative behaviour.

Throwaway account; this stuff is of dubious legality and I like being employable.

I participated in a Yagé ceremony -- locally, though led by a Columbian shaman and apprentice -- about a month ago on recommendation of my individual therapist. This was my first experience with psychedelics (or anything stronger than marajuana), and I went in with a set of expectations: powerful wakeful hallucinations, ego death, and a total emotional asskicking. (This latter expectation in particular is almost a manifestation of my own personal issues; ymmv.)

The description of the plant as having her own agenda and laughing at your plans is quite accurate; much as I tried to find a way to use the experience to reveal all of my own deep emotional flaws, I felt a presence just laughing and saying-without-saying to choose to love myself as an action, not just a concept and a feeling -- and to take the active step of choosing not to beat myself up so damn much, and all would be okay.

Also as written, this experience was deeply personal; for me to go into much greater description of my own interactions and experience would require you, dear reader, to both know and care about all of the issues that I carry. Suffice to say that if you were to try this, you would likely find your experience also to be both profound and incredibly difficult to communicate satisfactorily.

To follow on the description as personal: it was also incredibly isolating while _in situ_. You may be sitting with a dozen or with fifty people, but (aside from the sounds of retching and of guidance from the shaman, apprentice, and/or assistants) you are very much alone with whatever is going on inside of you.

For contrast, my wife had a less typical and more powerful experience with ayahuasca about ten years back while traveling in Peru. She and a friend participated in a ceremony in a much more intimate environment (just the two of them, a shaman, and a female bystander for safety) without as much of the physical preparation; they did it practically on a whim, so while my wife was fairly prepared emotionally and spiritually from her own work, she hadn't, say, avoided pork or alcohol for the week before. She downed two or three cups of the vile stuff over the course of their ceremony, to little obvious effect that evening. It was on the travel back out of the jungle that everything hit: the most intense projectile vomiting of her life to date, followed by extremely intense daytime hallucinations, and a strong sense of spiritual connectedness and openness that she carries to this day.

Having asked around, this significantly delayed and highly intense experience is very uncommon.

Finally, as a quick followup on the original article discussing the anthropomorphization of the leaf as grandmother/_abuela_ -- it's worth noting, for context, that frequent medicinal users, devotes, psychonauts, etc. refer also to peyote as grandfather/_abuelo_. I have no personal experience, but have been given to understand that peyote gives a very different but complimentary experience: communal and reassuring rather than individual and truth-revealing.
I feel like the sheer amount of bullshit surrounding these drugs leaves me with a duty to take heavy doses of psychedelics and proudly learn nothing but "boy that was fun"

In many cases, this hardware's already built, it's built to survive a lot tougher duty than the police put it through, and it makes no sense to me why they wouldn't use it.

Because vehicles don't maintain themselves. For example, Redmond, WA has an armored personnel carrier. I assume, without knowing, that it was a gifted leftover. But the tires alone are outrageously expensive (>$1000 or more per, but don't quote me) and they don't last very long. And it's my understanding that something like an APC is like an RV: all stuff rattling around, something always needs work. I have seen that thing out and about a total of once, at the park for "bring the kids to see fire trucks and stuff" day. As a former professional auto mechanic, I look at that thing and see nothing but constant work, like painting the Golden Gate Bridge.

So even though the vehicle might have been of no cost to the city, you're not going to find parts at AutoZone (they might carry air and oil filter for it, if the engine is based on something used elsewhere). Your mechanic has to go to training to figure out how to work on it. If you actually use the thing, now you need at least another part-time mechanic because your other guy now diverts time to work on the APC (and he's the only one trained to do it). I also assume that if you need an APC, you really need it now, so it must be maintained to a state of "ready to roll" at all times.

In conclusion, I can see a lot of this "free" stuff turning into money pits.

Probably they're living near the Hoyt-Schemerhorn station in downtown Brooklyn. The A/C are good, reliable trains that offer a quick commute to a large number of jobs in Lower Manhattan. And it's absolutely in a safe neighborhood.

As for your search, you need to include apartments with broker fees. That's just a reality of the real estate market in NYC. There are many cases where paying the fee is worthwhile.
Around here, prices are currently a little over $2/gallon, with occasional stations showing slightly under $2.

Of course there's no attempt to increase taxes, because taxation is theft and government is the enemy. The federal gas tax hasn't been increased since 1993, and worse it's a fixed amount per gallon, not a percentage, so both inflation and increasing fuel efficiency cut into it. State gas taxes are a little more mutable but still face lots of resistance.
The way the formula works the average or median (whichever is higher) annual income can be lower for lower cost institutions. So for example, SUNY Binghamton University could pass the GE rule if it's graduates make at least $40,000/year. Likewise, Nassau Community College would need its graduates to secure $23,500/year jobs. They'd both be fine.

Where this rule would pinch would be high cost institution that nonetheless produce graduates that enter low paying jobs.

Taking your premise that society has an interest in an educated populace, and that includes people studying liberal arts at the tertiary level, does it have an interest in paying for the most expensive providers of that education?

I complete agree, SFBA should not be as expensive as NYC. NYC is better in most ways than San Francisco if you're being objective and Wall Street pays better than Silicon Valley. Housing is usually derivative of the incomes of the area. I blame the SFBA property values on restrictive housing policies and NIMBYs preventing development of housing. There is no way in the long-run that SFBA should be as expensive as NYC. Is Walnut Creek really a better place to live than Queens? I don't think so.
Why does the plant produce DMT? Is it a poison? Are there other plants that produce it?

I wonder about the evolutionary reasons for its emergence. Does the plant influence the Human so that the Human protects and nurtures the plant? When did Humans begin altering South America? 15,000 years ago? More than enough time for the plant to adapt.

It's a strange feeling to ingest a hallucination producing organism. I remember being 19 years old, in the 90s, being given mushrooms. I spent the next several hours sitting at a tree stump feeling myself sink into it, feeling merged with plants around me. I remember thinking a lot about the juxtaposition of the natural with the concrete and brick and asphalt just a few hundred meters away - and wanting to tear it all down. Now, decades later, reading the woman's experience, I wonder if the fungi had somehow manipulated me.

This looks like drops hitting glass (but then disappearing, as if they vaporized). Or perhaps "heat shimmer" of another type, if we can call it that: what you might see in your field of vision if you've been running a long distance along that road, without drinking water.

Heat shimmer has to be sort of stringy due to the currents of different air densities that move as aggregates. It's mostly vertical as the plumes of hot air rise from the ground, so most of the distortion is horizontal displacement (side-to-side jitter).
Maybe. (FTR, I support carbon taxation on balance.)

Many carbon taxation implementations would amount to a regressive tax. Poor people on average drive more and spend more of their income on gasoline than the wealthy. Add in the fact that it becomes a hidden consumption tax as well and it could end up being a fairly regressive tax.

Then the question becomes: are the ecological advantages worth the economic harm from the regressive nature?

Since my wife buys about 200 gallons of gas per year, my daily driver is electric, and our income is enough that we'd never notice a carbon tax, it's easy for me to support it personally. That's far from true for many others.
I believe your answer is in the article: "Note that modern shells are not good examples of this, because they don't do line-buffered input; to support command line editing, they switch terminal input into an uninterpreted mode. So they get the raw ^D and can do whatever they want with it, and they can let you edit as much of the pending line as they want."
If the PC reboots with your work unsaved, you could lose a day's work, for example.
You're not wrong, but it's worth noting that there are some really obvious things we could do which would cure a lot of people. Not, for example, requiring people to work 40 hour weeks when there isn't enough work to employ the entire populace 40 hours a week is one obvious measure, because it removes the need for people to sit at their desks doing literally nothing, and would result in more people being employed. Restructuring business so that people are rewarded for providing value instead of acting as gatekeepers of value would be another. Removing the near-constant bombardment of advertising from our emotional and social landscape would remove a lot of demands on people's attention and allow them to focus on activities they find meaningful.

The fact is, people are depressed because the powerful in our society benefit from treating the majority of our society like shit.

It would be interesting, but not immediately scientific when it comes to measuring productivity. A larger structure is going to be less efficient than a small one (under most topologies) but can take on larger tasks. The individuals will have more specialization and decisions will take longer to arrive at.

What I would find interesting is a what is the slope of the line in terms of worker productivity as it varies with org size as the number of workers are added.

Having a bossless architecture is fine when there is lots of interesting engineering work to do. Coordination and direction is just overhead when the organism should just spread in every direction. But after some point it needs to move and find food.

My guess?

The company's at an inflection point and management has to choose between a) raising capital or b) exiting. Either way, investors had expressed concern about GitHub's (lack of) hierarchy, and the constraints it imposed on opportunities.
>And there are some legal issues that are tied to the date a feature first becomes available to the public. Seeing a feature go public prematurely throws a bunch of scheduling into disarray because you now have to finish those legal documents in less time than you planned.

As someone who's never worked for a company that produces commercial software, I'm curious about what he's referring to.
I would say the biggest decision point here is how either entity might evolve. If these are truly different domain entities then one may end up with different attributes than the other in the future, meaning these should definitely be different tables. They just happen to have the same set of fields at this point in time.
> We're talking about CA's issuing certs - DNS queries for email, http are outside of CA cert issuance.

Still doesn't make any sense to me. Whether a CA performs a DNS query in order to do domain validation via email, http or to check a CAA record doesn't matter.

> The browsers need to decide when to trust a cert - and if/when CAA becomes involved in cert issuance, then I suggest this DOES have something to do with browsers.

The domains that a CA "vouches" for are part of the certificate. Browsers tell CAs how to determine domain ownership (by telling them to follow the Baseline Requirements). Implementing CAA means making the CAA check a mandatory component of these requirements. In other words, this would be just another step and if the domain appears on a certificate, the CA would indicate that the CAA check was successful. Browsers are the ones who would mandate this, yes, but there would be no other change necessary.

> Furthermore, you're suggesting co-existence between CA's that check CAA and CA's that don't - which implies that either the browser or user has to make a determination of whether to trust.

I'm not suggesting that. I'm suggesting making CAA mandatory. The scenario you're describing is the status quo, by the way: Some CAs implement CAA (Let's Encrypt, DigiCert); others (the majority) don't.

> But we're talking past each other. So using your example, think of it like this, how will you as a user know when you visit github that another WoSign hasn't happened? ...or rather - how would a LAYPERSON know they are secure? Github might detect it - but how do ordinary USERS?

Yes, we're talking past each other. My argument is that CAA would prevent certain mis-issuances, such as the GitHub/WoSign example. The certificate would not have been issued in my example. It is not a mechanism against a fully-compromised CA, as I have said before. That's what HPKP is for, as I have already said before.

> that (wrongly) assumes ALL CA's trusted by EVERY browser will perform CAA check before issuing a cert for github.

You're wrongly assuming that ALL CAs have the same domain validation vulnerability that WoSign had. I'm saying: Given the WoSign vulnerability, CAA would have probably prevented the mis-issuance.

Also: see previous comments regarding the effectiveness of CAA prior to it being mandatory.

> The problem is not so much "fully-compromised CA" as it is we're trusting a whole pile of CA's and not all them behave the same.

Which is why I have (for the n'th time) indicated that CAA is only fully effective if all CAs implement it (or in other words: if it becomes mandatory).

> Any attacker that can gain access to web site admin credentials can also get the DNS credentials.

What? RCE on the web server is not the same thing as full access to the DNS. You're not making any sense.

> You're using defense-in-depth again. Replace "-in-depth" with "-added-complexity".

Again, you fail to demonstrate how this complexity does more harm than good. You can make this argument for any change.

There's some cred that's given to any company that's a "startup". Which is why successful startups do their best to extend the use of that term-- claiming that their culture stays the same. The same way that job titles are being inflated, I think there's "startup inflation".

In one of my college business classes we tried to define a startup, and we ended up with something like:
> A startup is a company that is new company, less than 5 years old, that is also looking for a big payout by trying a risky and novel product or business strategy. A startup is also looking for extremely high growth, which is usually funded by outside investment.

So, github? No longer a startup. A year after you've become successful and paid off the VCs? No longer a startup. If you're a design/development agency? Not ever a startup, because the product/services you're providing are not novel or new territory. If someone made a competitor to Jira, I might also hesitate to call it a startup. At some point these kind of services get commoditized.

Of course, colloquially this definition fails and I don't ever try to push this definition on people. But it helps to conceptually divide the "high-growth new product startups" from the "lifestyle startup" and "traditional business startups".
