I had a mixed experience with them - their automated scanner can be painful with misdetection, but their support usually makes up for it, even if they're slow to respond. I've not used them for anything other than the quarterly scans.
Wow! That must be an insane profession.
I have a few questions for you:
Firstly, how do you deal with the legal aspect of things? (If you can answer that, if not, I understand)

Secondly, why take the potion instead of pure DMT? If that is the active ingredient (along with an MAOI), I'd imagine just taking the pure compound to be more efficacious. (And the trips last only 20 minutes or something- under an hour)

Thirdly, say you have a chronic illness that requires constant management, like type 1 diabetes or something. I've heard the potion takes 12 hours, or in some extreme cases days, to work itself out of your system. Would that person still be a candidate for the ritual, or would they need to go through it with a medical professional on-site or something?
I think you missed the point of the Wikipedia article. Structurelessness (and that is still what you're describing) leads to a tyranny where there are unspoken leaders who basically bully the rest of the organization. You described exactly that and then asked how to avoid it. Short answer: You probably can't. It's a human problem, not an organizational or process one.

Clear lines of ownership and responsibility do wonders for just letting coders code, and let everyone else decide what they code.
The biggest problem is that the business owners want management to represent their interests; if they were elected by the workers, they would more naturally represent the interests of the workers. It might work out in a worker's co-op where the workers and owners are the same people.

Your 12 years old pentium 4 (or whatever) likely has 1 core and 1 thread, which is immensely noticeable even compared to the lower end modern 2 cores/4 threads machines (let alone 4/8 mid level modern desktops).
One editor feature I've been looking for is the ability to lock down a region of text so that the user can drag the region around within the text or add text before/after the text. However, the contents of the region can't be edited nor deleted.
In my eyes the VERY FACT that psychedelics like N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) even exist in the FIRST place (and take you on the experiences that they take you) can NOT be some sort of coincidence. I am not suggesting that they are some special all-knowing tool, but the sheer potency of DMT and the other-worldly-dimension-changing-states-of-mind that it yields when consumed can not be shrugged off as just another recreational drug or "you're just high bro", at least not to me.

We have consciousness. We see. We feel... but existence remains a mystery. No one on Earth can properly put into words what THIS is. It's unexplainable, at least to me. You can perhaps say "we are in the Milky Way" or "we are located in the Universe" or "we are existing" but these are just vague primitive monkey explanations.

Substances like DMT can shed light on these questions from a different vantage point.

> America has really shitty public transit

And it wasn't an accident either. The car companies actively campaigned to tear up and dismantle public transit.

Dallas used to have a huge streetcar network; all that remains is the M uptown line.

Even here in San Francisco the anti-public-transit movement managed to tear down the A and B lines (among others; The A line used to run down Geary to the beach and the B line turned south and ran down 19th Ave.)
Once an iOS build expires, you can't take a backup, so you can do that to get the phone working again, but you lose any un-backed up data on the device like photos and app data. In the days before iCloud it was a huge pain.

I think the reason car companies besides Tesla make ugly electric/hybrid cars is because they really don't want you to buy them. I assume at this point, both car companies and the oil industry are intertwined to such a degree that it's not in their financial interest to disrupt the status quo.

My next car will hopefully be a Tesla, but I cannot afford the Model S no matter how much I'd like one.
I wish articles like this would say what ^D means. I remember when I was new to Unix it took me a while to realize that I wasn't supposed to type a literal caret (^) followed by a D.

It's not like we don't know how to launch a new gaming system at this point: you package up everything the consumer needs to get started for around ~$500, you line up a couple of launch titles that are really great games or license famous IP, you strike some massive retail partnerships and spend massive cash on marketing.

You are building an ecosystem and it's all about getting critical mass which is hugely expensive. Even new peripherals for already successful console systems are quite hard to launch because you can't put the marketing behind them that you'd put behind a whole new system launch. VR tech obviously has great potential but the ecosystem, the mass market product and marketing, the titles are all not there.
I've worked at a place that had a 'flat' organization, it was a mess. Hidden power structures, informal and outside of office 'meetings' where decisions were made and arbitrary decisions made at a whim.

When looking for a job, be careful when leadership says their organization is flat. You will probably find people at the top (C level) who hate being told what to do and hate management. That will poison the structure and coordination of the company. People need some sort of structure so they know where to turn to for help, responsibilities are assigned and there is accountability.

I'm not advocating having rigid, strong management and structure at a company, just that if you don't have an official structure, an unofficial and hidden power structure will emerge. And that is far, far worse.
A. Capitalism by definition leads to concentration of wealth in hands of a few. That to me is the unwritten goal of the system. Historically wealth always consentrated in capitalistic societies.

B. Yes, if you work at a chocolate factory and at the same time own part of it you will enjoy both its success and its failure. Co-ownership and sharing both outcomes is what we don't have at most work places today.

No, I'm against this socialist/communist extreme where you take money from the rich. I am for creating mechanisms and tools that allow entire society to prosper and better itself.
The way we educate people, the way we run businesses and governments is all messed up today. It simply needs to change.
Not really your place to judge is it? What if they are in the middle of a long running task and the machine shuts down? Maybe it takes all day to run that process intensive task? Boom updates reboot the machine and a whole day's processing was lost. It is the users' prerogative on how they want to use their machine (poor software design choices and all) and if they don't want to take an automatic update and reboot then so be it. Or what if some people like to wait a couple weeks and see if Microsoft accidentally breaks something major with an update... pretty sure that has happened before.

I played this in College! It was my AI final, each team had to program an AI for this game and then on the last day of classes we pitted our AI's against each other. It was a ton of fun, and taught me a hell of a lot about functional programming and some fancy data structures.
I was lucky enough to breakthrough on my first dose, and the only times I haven't broken through have been down to choice (to feel what lower doses felt like) – I invested in better equipment (http://imgur.com/vjvKzQB – from one of my posts in the /r/DMT channel in reddit) after the first few breakthroughs, it was the most interesting, terrifying, and beautiful thing that has ever happened to me, and I wanted to keep doing it to try and work out just what it was, there have been moments where I have lay in awe completely convinced I am witnessing everything happening everywhere in the universe, there have been times where I've been convinced I am solely responsible for the destruction of the universe, that my consciousness was the last thing left, there have been so many other strange experiences, I could never control them, I had to just sit back and feel everything, so it was always trying, I doubt that it's possible to master the effects, and most I know from various communities on the subject tend to ease off at around the same number of times that I did, as a chemical, it's absolutely non-addictive, all psychedelics I tend to find as self-regulating.

just like heroin laced or replaced entirely by fentanyl, there are plenty of unsavory cats ordering NBoME or other compounds online and passing it off as LSD.

harm reduction circles always recommend testing the drugs yourself with a reagent kit, easily acquired online, because otherwise there is absolutely no way to know what was ingested.

not saying your friend didn't take LSD, nor am I naive enough to think LSD does no harm, just that if your friend didn't test the tab themselves, they have no idea what they took. unless they personally know the chemist, I suppose.
Tesla's cars are awesome in just about every respect besides price. The Model 3 promises to preserve the awesomeness without the price tag. People want them, and it rarely has anything to do with saving money on gas.

Priuses are kind of boring. (I owned one for a while so I hope I'm not too clueless on this.) They work, they're reliable, they're cheap to run, but few people come back from a Prius test drive thinking, holy shit, I'll do whatever it takes to own one of these cars. Nobody warns prospective Prius buyers, "don't test drive one unless you're ready to put down a bunch of money to buy it, because you will want to."

If I had to buy a non-EV car again, I'd probably look at Priuses because efficiency pleases me, Toyota has a good reputation, and their stuff is pretty reliable, but it's not particularly compelling. For a lot of people, saving money on gas is the main reason to even consider a Prius. It's not even in most people's top 10 for a Model 3.

Note that with a whopping 22 miles of electric range, the Prius Prime is far from a Model 3 competitor. Toyota seems to be betting on hydrogen rather than batteries, for reasons I've yet to comprehend, so I'd say their Model 3 competitor is the Mirai. Although I don't know why anyone would ever buy a Mirai.

Blimey. No surprise sales of hybrids aren't growing.

We had, under Blair, yearly percentage increases above inflation in fuel tax as part of their climate change efforts. There was a point, I forget quite where - perhaps around 99p a litre or £4.40 a gallon, where behaviour and car use started to noticeably change.
Although I'm an atheist, I'll admit to considering going to church on a somewhat regular basis. Having an opportunity to commune with people in my community is a much higher consideration than actually believing in a higher power.

It could be argued that instead of a higher power being the inspiration of your improved state, it could be that having the opportunity to be with other people, or being a part of a group, could be the more important ingredient in your experiences
I also find Ctrl-W for backspacing a word at a time useful and also Ctrl-A/E for jumping to the beginning and end of the current line.

Ctrl-L to clear the screen except the current line is also somewhat useful if you're at the bottom of the terminal screen and editing a long command line.

Somewhat less useful but neat is Alt-U which will cause the current word under the cursor to become all upper case and Alt-C which is similar but changes the first letter to upper case and the rest of the word to lower case.

Without getting too into the details, we're improving a small performing arts space on the first floor, a little apartment on the second floor, and building larger apartment on the third floor. If I were doing this for cash, I'd have just built five stories of apartments, and could retire somewhere boring and suburban as an absentee landlord. This is more of a 'fostering the arts' and 'living in a walkable urban environment' thing.

> Many carbon taxation implementations would amount to a regressive tax.

So, set a national overall target CO2 production, divide it by the taxpaying population, and issue an fixed income tax credit of the carbon tax for that per-capita share of the target production. The poor spend, on average, a greater share of income on things that would pay the carbon tax, but if you rebate it that way, they still aren't usually going to end up seeing a net tax increase, though they'll still have all the socially beneficial incentives of a carbon tax.

Developer builds do expire. Dealing with that with one of my customers. A slick little IT guy decided that he would put his developer copy of Windows on this particular non-profit's computer to save them money. All of a sudden 3 weeks ago they get a message about their OS being expired and it wouldn't boot up without a windows boot disc.

to be fair, that is _most_ management. good management is quite rare, unfortunately.
Or, even better, you could use the money from the tax to build decent public transit so fewer people need to drive to work. This would enable to poor to avoid the tax by driving less.

If you don't build transit, people will have no choice but to drive just as much as they did before the tax was implemented, so the tax will have a minimal effect on vehicle emissions.

Sure, people will cut back on non-required trips, but the vast majority of driving people do is commuting, and they can't stop doing that unless they have an alternative means of getting to work.
Exactly. We don't need to take psychedelics with the intention to get smarter or enlightened.

We can take psychedelics just to enjoy psychedelics. This is a good enough reason.
I no longer use iPhone because I installed a beta iOS.

...and didn't know what I was doing, nor did I read the well-documented warnings that are printed in multiple places. Then when things went down exactly as Apple warned me, multiple times, I went on the Internet to complain about it.

What warnings? Apple tells you up front that you can't upgrade to release from beta, you'll need to load it via iTunes or Xcode. Apple also warns that betas expire. And because "beta" is not "release", when Apple quits putting out betas, there is no "update" to update to. (How this currently works with public betas, I know not.)

I am happy for Relation names to distinguish entities.
He is basically arguing that this violates some sacred principle and that all meaning should be available from column names, so that relations names can be ignored.
I don't think that even Chris Date who is a zealous RM fanatic would argue this - his books are actually quite good much more logical than Fabian Pascall.

May be so. These were pretty easy questions, though. Like 'What steps/commands would you use to reset the password on a [Make] [Model] managed switch through the serial port?' Very easy to Google.

Surprisingly, some people couldn't get the answer right even using Google.

I actually read all of your comment :)

I think the earth quake hazard is undervalued in comments asking for more construction, and at least when I lived there - I left about 10 years ago after having lived there for about 7 years - water was a serious future problem too. It was still okay but they were looking at huge amounts of deferred maintenance and construction just to update the water supply. Even when I lived there I could read about significant leakage of water for the peninsula on the way from Hetch Hetchy.

So if they decide to build more and more densely, I'm not sure what a) infrastructure like water will do, and b) what happens when the next major earth quake inevitably strikes - admittedly it is more likely to strike in the ("less valuable") East Bay.

Nor do I understand why it needs to happen. You said some of it yourself. There really is no reason for everyone to actually be there in order to work in an IT job. There are people who will argue that presence in their experience is a must, okay, so they can do that. But there are plenty of examples of projects and companies that have shown that purely remote does work for a lot of people and companies.

Why put ever more people into that small congested area that has to get basics like water from very far away, and will have huge problems with earth quakes? I immensely enjoyed living there, in places like the Presidio in SF itself, or in San Ramon, Mountain View and Redwood Shores (I kept moving) - and in the Oakland hills, a wonderful, gorgeous place with miles and miles of open spaces and trails and horses right in front of my door, with a view over the Bay to SF.

I don't see why the Bay Area of all places (meaning the physical limitations, water and quakes) should be made into Hong Kong density. Few people who (have to) work there actually benefit from the often touted benefit of "potential connections".

The Prius is known for many things: I don't know of anyone who would go out of their way to say it's a stylish or attractive looking car as one of it's top 20 attributes. I'm sure someone out there like that exists, but they are very clearly in the minority.
