Once upon a time I took everything under the sun. I don't judge people for doing the same.

But if you're claiming to "guide" people through a trip with potential for physical harm (and in an inustrialized, urban environment, that's pretty much all of them), you're goddamn right I'll judge you if you fuck someone up.

If a hospital pulled this shit and didn't even try to mitigate potential harm, they'd be shut down. Would you claim it should be otherwise? People certainly have out of body experiences in the ER on a fairly regular basis...

So, no, I don't take issue with people using hallucinogens. I used a ton when I was younger and had a vanishingly small number of bad trips. The part I take issue with is where people get irresponsible. Humans are pretty fragile (stop by the ER some time, they can survive a lot, but not everything). I judge those who won't take care of each other.
Heavy Gitlab CI user here. The real problem is isolating the runners themselves. You can assign runners to individual projects for isolation, but when the runners can't be AWSed (iOS hardware, for example) you have to make tough choices about buying more stuff to sit under your desk right next to the stuff you could be using that's idle.

IMO some basic isolation measures like clearing the cache between projects would be good. Killing active processes when a job ends.
I loved that story in the book, because it was so much like my own experience with simple dreaming. We often hear about the brilliant creativity of our dreaming minds and the deep answers that await us if we'll pay attention to our dreams. I figured that was safer than drugs, so I kept a dream journal, because it was supposed to help you remember your dreams better (it does) and unleash the genius of your unconscious.

Over time, I had several instances of making some progress on a question (programming logic design, for example) as I was on the border of awake and asleep, but these were essentially just the result of awake-enough thinking through of a problem as I lay there just before I fell asleep.

But I did have a few instances of real solutions in my sleep that I thought were major breakthroughs. The funny thing was that almost the instant I woke up, I saw fatal flaws in those "breakthroughs" that had been completely invisible to the triumphant, celebrating genius that I was in the dream. Literally seconds after regaining consciousness, I would see how ridiculous my brilliant idea was because of something I had completely overlooked in my dream state but was instantly obvious in my waking state. (Waking up literally does bring some crucial part of your reasoning back online.)

After a few of these, I put away the dream journal with a chuckle and got another good laugh when I read about Feynman's experience with LSD. After my own experience, I can easily imagine how you might feel as though your intoxicated mind was somehow operating on a "higher plane" when cut free of the restraints of reality, but it doesn't mean that what you discover there is of any real value back in the world of reality.

As much fun as it sounds, with no benefits beyond the entertainment value and the serious risks involved--a top student and mentor of mine back in school raised his consciousness so high that he lost the ability to feed or dress himself in the real world ever again--I'll just stick to actual consciousness.
>but the storytelling and the "massive" portion of an MMORPG is still not there
Thats because of hardware and network limits.
MMOs are optimized to reduce latency and expensive computations. Having too many people concentrating on one place creates a huge stream of data that has to be broadcast to everyone in range.
A few players in one area/instance don't need that much bandwidth(since most of world is loaded locally, only the changes are needed).
Health insurance would be unlikely to cover an employment drug screen.

If you're not paying for it, the employer is. Same with the background check. And it makes sense that if the employer is requiring these things that they should pay for them. They get to expense it as an administrative cost of hiring.
Well, he was given the option to put up some money with Jeff at the beginning and declined. I'm guessing that would have doubled his eventual stake...

It was all done on a threadbare budget. At first Bezos backed the company himself
with $10,000 in cash, and over the next sixteen months, he would finance the startup
with an additional $84,000 in interest-free loans, according to public documents.
Kaphan’s contract required him to commit to buying $5,000 of stock upon joining the
company. He passed on the option to buy an additional $20,000 in shares, since he
was already taking a 50 percent pay cut to work at the startup and would, like Bezos,
earn only $64,000 a year. “The whole thing seemed pretty iffy at that stage,” says
Kaphan, who some consider an Amazon cofounder. “There wasn’t really anything
except for a guy with a barking laugh building desks out of doors in his converted
garage, just like he’d seen in my Santa Cruz home office. I was taking a big risk by
moving and accepting a low salary and so even though I had some savings, I didn’t
feel comfortable committing more than I did.”

Nash didn't discover the Prisoners Dilemma, that system obviously has an equilibrium. What Nash did was prove that EVERY one of such systems has an equilibrium, regardless of what the details and weights of various rewards and penalties (etc) are.
I would really miss the DOM tab of Firebug. You can explorer the DOM state which is very useful. Non of the other DevTools anywhere has that feature to my knowlegde.
Snow Crash actually deals with this if I remember correctly. When you go out onto the street you're likely to encounter people in the shape of Penises (etc).

Most chat and social apps deal with this already by limiting your interactions to selected people that you whitelist.

That shouldn't be hard to replicate into VR.
The README of the gem that the article recommends ("sysrandom") provides a good explanation [1].

And here is the contentious Ruby issue wherein the Ruby core developers insist on cargo culting according to an outdated man page despite comprehensive refutation from a number of experienced security engineers [2].

That said, the arguments against OpenSSL seem to be largely theoretical at this point ("has been a source of vulnerabilities in Ruby ..."), so the misgivings about `SecureRandom` may be slightly exaggerated.

Are you trying to communicate, or be right on the internet? If you're trying to communicate, readability matters.
The documentation cautions you to "make sure to check if the user's browser supports all of it (1, 2, 3) before you start recording." All of it being "getUserMedia, Web Workers and the Web Audio API."

Surprisingly, it DOES look like getUserMedia is supported by Android browser and Android Chrome now (with some weird namespace prefix/object).

http://caniuse.com/#feat=stream

Still doesn't work on anything iOS though (until Apple puts it in Safari).

So no dice for HTML5 on mobile still (I've been waiting since 2012 for some way to support in-browser web-based audio recording, sigh). :|
Rotating the boss would expose people to more advice. Like switching dance partners during a dance lesson the rate of learning would increase.

However, I think a boss is more like a person you go teach a dance workshop with that a person that participates in it. Maybe the intern can have a new mentor every week. But I see some obstacles doing this do experienced team members.

It is already hard to find people that are both an expert at the work and a great boss. Finding multiple bosses in a team seems hard.

Frequently your boss needs a long term view on your activities. Career planning, performance reviews, and performance improvement plans are multi-month affairs.

Coordinating with other bosses and team also happens via social capital. Having to deal with a new persons for all other teams every month might be hard.

The article links to the leak, where there are screenshots from both the DCP and US Blu-ray versions of the movie. The new (DCP) source looks way better, has much more detail. Both are in H.264 format at obscenely-high bit rates. Other than cutting the file size in half for the same bit rates, I wonder how H.265 would fare on this epic movie!

What are "DK2/CC"? I've not heard of them.
Hope this Zika thing scares enough people in the developed world to finally start a world-wide program for completely eradicating all disease bearing mosquitoes.

And hopefully skip the damn talks about "the consequences of removing an entire species from the ecosystem for ever" (hint: humans already did this dozens of time by now, and now we can also froze some damn buzzers for future scientific study or whatever). Or about "developing a technology for completely exterminating a given species" (hint: besides being cool science, having a technology like this around and field tested could prove extremely f useful in quite a few scenarios).

Is there anywhere I can put my money where my mouth is and donate money to someone developing this? Like, not "doing the science and if it works out use it in 10 years time in the field", but more like "engineering and testing as you go, with iterative deployment of multiple batches of 'extermination agent', be that genetically engineered mosquitoes or bacteria or viruses, until the damn things are completely gone, even if we don't get to publish many papers because we've been a bit sloppy in measurements and focused on engineering and not science"?

P.S. And really, the best way to "investigate the consequences" of such a thing is to fucking do it an see what happens! Imagine the cool papers you'll publish about "ecological consequences of mosquito extermination" when you actually have data about this! And if you're into debating and stuff, you can debate "reintroducing mosquitoes into the ecosystem", and see how that goes after the picture of the "first kid dead from malaria after 10 years" shows up in the Times magazine. You can always keep a few mosquitoes in a lab in repopulate them afterwards if we turn out to actually need them.

I like Stephenson, but I guess Snow Crash was late to the party for me, having already read Neuromancer and a bunch of other cyberpunk books as well as a lot of cyberpunk-themed movies before finding it.

I enjoyed Snow Crash, but I am more a fan of Cryptonomicon and Anathem. I stumbled upon Cryptonomicon in the bookstore, because of the intriguing title. That and the Perl script for Solitaire in the back of the book.

I wish Cryptonomicon had been made into a movie pre-Bitcoin and Snowden; I hope they still make a movie of it.
Interestingly, the glucose idea is one that is often thrown around with "ego depletion", but there are several problems with it. If the replicability issues are set aside, there are many articles which suggest people's beliefs about "ego depletion" change the observed effects (e.g. [1]). More importantly, there's good reason to believe that early studies in support of the glucose hypothesis did not make sense [2].

What's the point of the tone of your comment? Some people would find the processed drug to lack the "authentic" experience of what is found in nature. Doubt anyone really cares. Sounds more like a caricature to me.
The scenario you describe with one tab using 20Gb is "beside the point" and certainly an exceptional situation. I've never seen that happen... I think I've had one Firefox crash this year, and that time it wasn't using all the RAM - it was hogging 100% CPU instead.

Of course the extra 2Gb might help for someone with less than 48Gb in their machine (most of us!).
Interestingly, that's less than a 50GB Blu-Ray, so tell me, why did we need a different disc format for UHD Blu-Ray?

Hey, I can talk like that too.

A mental construct has occurred to my consciousness
subsequent to the exposure of said mind to myriad

Another alternative is to work in an organization (most likely not a private company) that does not care about leaks. Non profits, administrations, many people work there and love it.
I think the MPAA count each watch as a potential purchase - when it's simply not true at all.

I'll admit that I sometimes watch a poor cam video before going to the cinema. It costs £10 a ticket plus food and fuel - about £15. Critiques often don't represent what I like in films, so I would just not go.

Pirated films probably encourages people to watch films. It can create a bigger hype around a film.

I think the war on piracy somewhat echoes the issues of the war on drugs.
I want one! Where do I order?

Anybody know about the emissions and if you can drive it in the US (non-California)?

I also wonder if the parts are easy and standard enough to make in more widely distributed factories. Seems the revolution waiting to happen is when a small country can make at least some of the parts in a small factory and trade with other similar partners to commodify the ecosystem, like PCs in the 1990s etc.

I do not believe it is a fine control vs out of the box tradeoff. Draft gives you one. Quill gives you both. Previously Quill was limited in what content it could understand but this is the major change in 1.0. I'd encourage you to take another look.

Regarding the third point on markup, everything you say is true, except the first part about misrepresentation. When I said markup I am precisely talking about the HTML markup used to render the contents of the editor. Some people do care about the HTML markup being semantic during the edit session. Sounds like you don't or are okay with computing this yourself, and that's fine, but again this is extra work for the end user. Quill also has an internal state[1] that is easy to iterate over and convert into whatever output/markup.

In China high GDP growth rate is mainly translated into moving people from village to city. It is more like: lives of both city and village people is only very slowly improving (while faster than in developed countries), but there are quickly getting more of the former and less of the latter. Only those who move reap the benefits.

This process will be over soon when urbanization hits Western levels (about 10-15 years from now), then the growth rate will moderate.

Where do you draw the line though?

Let's say OpenDNS and Google changed their DNS servers to resolve all ad domains to 127.0.0.1.

It is a private choice to decide to use those DNS servers, but such a large percentage of the public uses them that this would no doubt impact nearly all ad networks and websites.
The reason I love books from Neal Stephenson, William Gibson, Charles Stross, is that, for me at least, they're massive catalysts to my own thoughts and imaginations of what might be possible.

If I had to pick one book above others from Neil Stephenson it would be Diamond Age. I just keep going back to it. It's got a lot to say, and I wouldn't mind seeing a similar analysis by the Author of this post.

You could be really conservative: only assume statelessness if the page has no <form> elements and has no calls to the XMLHTTPRequest API (or window.eval).

Or you could be really conservative: only assume statelessness for pages without forms and without any Javascript. (These do exist!)
Ah but you see my adjectives are better...
Reason can be had by measurement. Humans love to measure things. On the other hand, we also love to antagonize on how much to measure, how long to measure it, and what all the numbers mean once we've written them down. Sometimes writing things down is less likely when one is being reasonable.
I obviously agree.
> it can be pretty hard to encourage people to try drugs

I think that in our society we have a problem with people taking too many drugs already. Deadly smoking of tobacco is decreasing but still too common (killed my mom). Booze and coffee are things people tolerate but use to adjust their mood. Pot seems to finally becoming accepted by law abiding society. But do we need to encourage more than this? As a parent of a teenager who is generally tolerant of such things, I'm suddenly feeling I want society to have less drugs ;-)

Seriously, would society be improved with more psychedelics?
"From the network" isn't actually a part of the semantics of this behavior, though. If the page's browser-side cache is still valid according to its original response headers, the browser will just reload the page from cache rather than hitting the network.
Upfront all transactions must pay for the computation they expect to have. The user (or whatever) decided how much has may be spent.

When the transaction runs, gas is consumed. If the transaction finished or there is no more gas, computation stops.

Now, transactions have no limit but blocks of transactions have. This is to prevent a single person creating and mining gigantic transaction to stall the network.

This limit is dynamic and you can raise it by having the network use more gas until the moving average climbs high enough.
There are anecdotes about successful breakthroughs as well. The more famous one is Francis Crick coming up with the double-helix of DNA while on LSD.

Then there's a well known psych experiment from the 60s that claims
pretty good results: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelics_in_problem-solvin...

Honestly it is seems slow on my extremely fast MacBook Pro. In my experience, loading animations that aren't delayed by some period longer than human perception of "slow" can make reasonably performing software seem slow. Consider delaying the loading behavior until the response has taken longer than some threshold.
Rust has no out of the box crypto, specifically because we want to take our time and get it right. The rand crate can generate random numbers, the ring crate is the most promising crypto library overall, IMHO.
There is no true objectivity

At least you stated your premise up front. Everything after that is unnecessary. You may as well paste that as the entirety of every comment you ever make. Saying anything more is simply an exercise in creative writing. Indeed, one wonders why you would bother to say anything, period, if you cannot admit to the conceit of objectivity.
