PD is bad enough on its own without dementia. My mother has had the early onset variety since her mid-thirties, and while her cognitive function has clearly declined, she's no where near dementia. On its own, the disease is like prison. You slowly become trapped in your own body and lose the ability to have an impact on the world around you. The treatments and medication cause diskinesia (the violent/uncontrollable tremors associated with the disease) and the wrong dose (for that day/time), or the wrong setting on the implant they put into the motor cortex to stimulate it, is as bad as no treatment at all. Depression is a common co-morbidity.

Parkinsonism is watching yourself die with full knowledge of what's happening to you and a complete inability to do anything about it. My mother had polio as a child as well, so she's trying to learn to walk for the third time.

There is no fate I find more horrifying on a personal level. None.
> If a 10x cost reduction storage technology comes along, cloud providers will necessarily adopt it and will reduce their prices by approximately 10x.

Here are my two counterpoints.

1) Bandwidth prices HAVE fallen 10x in the past N years. Many cloud providers (ovh, etc) DO offer this price drop. Yet how many people really left AWS or GCE for ovh? I would guess not that many.

2) As I said with mainframes.. there is a 10x cheaper option to a mainframe that has been around for oh 15 years. But people are still on them, BECAUSE they are still locked in to them. That is my point. Don't get locked into a single anything. Sending 100 PB data for a commercial entity to hold for you, with no guarantees of future pricing, is a bad move. Locking yourself in is one of the worst things you can do as a company.

We are already well into the process with our ODM, so a Chinese company can't really get it to market faster either.

And because a lot of the solution we have to the latency issue is in software, they can't really duplicate it until we release the device with the software so they can get their hands on it and reverse engineer it. :-)

It does and doesn't there isn't a single Saudi government there is a family and a few non blood related oil barons.

And family trumps ideology so you have a mixture of ideals which are supported and are more often than not contradictory.

The ruling family also uses religion to control the people so if it stops all support it will find it self under the bus rather quickly, so even the most moderate have to extend some support to the fringe elements.

edit: Since they mentioned Eno it' might be a different one but I don't know: https://motherboard.vice.com/read/how-to-pick-music-for-peop... something like this and maybe there it can be found if you search what's related to this on reddit. J.H.U might be the sacred knowledge one.

> I want to have a positive, meaningful experience with them. How do I do it?

You don't do it, it does you, when the time comes :).

Surprisingly many people who've done psychedelics get this metaphor.
This is due to the epiphany about the concept of time that is experienced by most people who have had a psychedelic trip.

But anyway, when the time comes, if you want a positive and meaningful experience, make sure you choose a positive, meaningful and safe place to do it.

At home, when alone (no parents/children/etc) is such a place. You need it clear for at least 48 hours, as you will want to spend a day integrating what you've just experienced.

It's a good idea to have a trusted good friend who will stay sober during your trip, preferably someone who has tripped before - or he can smoke some pot.

It's important that alcohol is not present - not in you or your trip sitter during the trip, as this will derail it in the wrong direction.

After the effects have subsided, you can have a beer or a glass of wine to help you sleep.

Prepare your place for the trip - make it beautiful, clean, have fruit, juices, water - you will go on a deep journey, so make sure you do it in style.

The most important - make sure that the substance is pure and is what advertised.
Get a drug testing kit and verify it if you have no trusted sources (eg. if you buy from a dark net market).

>Modern schools seem to be a terrible environment to socialize kids, with things like bulling, weapons, drugs, sexting, sex

Do people spouting this have any kind of realistic evidence for how schools are so terrible for socializing, instead of spouting off folksy wisdom?

The whole "socialize, more like INSTITUTIONALIZE mirite guys?" just feels so flimsy and patronizing. Some are even comparing public schools to Lord of the Flies? That's just ridiculous.
The way I understand it, your citizenship is irrelevant here. If you happen to visit South Korea, they can usually prosecute you for a crime you allegedly committed on the internet while abroad. Seeing as you'd be charged with creating or distributing a ToS-infringing program, it's likely sufficient that at least one person located in South Korea received (or could have received) a copy of that program for the crime to fall under South Korean jurisdiction.

Extradition is more complicated; depending on your country of origin, the crime you are charged with must also be illegal under local laws in most cases.

Explain you point of view rather than calling for censorship. No, its not obvious.
Think about the implications of making the locations of these sites secret in a free society. Would the existence of plants be hidden from locals? Should it be illegal to talk about aggregations of plants and debate them?

If the existence of the plants is too dangerous for civil discourse, maybe we shouldn't have them at all, to play devil's advocate.
Much of Hiroshima wasn't fully destroyed, and there were many survivors. Aside from the concerns about dud or destroyed missiles, you need a lot of missiles to destroy infrastructure that's more spread out.

You're also not just trying to destroy the 200 or so world capitals, but strategic assets in the US or the Soviet union. Between cities, military bases, power plants, factories and other infrastructure pertinent to waging war that 357 per capital number starts sounding a lot more reasonable.

This comparison is just another arbitrary irrelevant number journalists like to come up with that ultimately just serves
to obscure the issue. It's like describing the amount of concrete in the Hoover dam in terms of the volume of VW beatles.
For me the dificult is rising too fast after "Strategy 1"

Sure, prices for doing this in VR are astronomical compared to photos today (the article mentions this being one of the “commercially insignificant this year” use cases).

But knowing that the required technology, like 360° cameras, spatial mapping and easily “photoshopping” 3D spaces, will become cheaper down the road, it makes sense for hotels to do some pilots to being testing the higher-level applications of this.

My Dad was recently diagnosed. Very early stage. This is very interesting news.

My take is that Parkinson's is a little like cancer in that it likely has multiple root causes that can injure the same part of the brain (substantia niagra) and cause the disease.

My research for his case led me to vitamin k2 deficiency as a possible cause / complicating factor. There are some genetic models and mouse trials that show k2 as a modality. He had his gallbladder removed about a year before symptoms started. He also has kidney stones. K2 is fat soluble, only acquired through diet, and affects calcium regulation. Oddly connected to his history/symptoms. So hard to help debug stuff like this.

He's on a supplement now. We don't have a great way to measure if it's working. The symptoms have such natural variance day to day.

Dollar ($) as prefix to variable names is actually quite good. You know instinctively what is a user created variable and not a language keyword. Easy to find variables when scanning large chunks of code and easy to use with string replacement to avoid string concatenation or sprintf.

Opening tag at the beginning of file is not really worth of doing anything about. If you separate concerns in your code, you don't do HTML in your model code, therefore the only tag in a the vast majority of PHP files is the opening tag a the top of the file.

Paradoxically, today you don't use PHP as templating language in modern PHP, because it is clunky. You use a templating language like mustache or twig.

Standard library, yes. That ought to be fixed. My proposal to solve that is to implement function autoloading and support for callable types (parameter and return type signatures to callables). With that you could start implement outside of PHP core and start deprecating old core functions and supply a library shim for those who need it.

And also with those two language features, it will be much easier to do functional programming instead of the now dominating OOP i the PHP community.

PHP since 5.5 is quite good and with this release it is even better. It is flexible but at the same time rigid with very good performance. No built in state, which is perfect for stateless API:s.
I think that you have a stereotypical hardcore gamer in mind, not the silent majority of people who have 8 games in their Steam library which they play occasionally on their laptops.

One other major problem with Gluu -- where is its security track record? Where do they keep track of security issues and the appropriate fixes to patch them? If it's on their site, it's hard to find, but then most things on the Gluu site _are_ hard to find.

They don't even make a list of their most prominent customers public on their site.

Keycloak, on the other hand, is supported by RedHat, so any advisories relating to it come out through their normal advisory system. A user considering Keycloak or OpenAM is in a much better spot to make an informed decision about security than one considering Gluu, for these reasons.

Came here to say this. Besides, Ubuntu has never been close to being a fully Free (Libre) distribution; like most other Linux based distros, it has a mix of Free software and closed source software and firmware.

I don't disagree with Mr. Garrett's opinion that Canonical is in the wrong here, rather I'd say he's practically giving them a pass. Not only does Canonical try to impose policies and demands that violate the licenses of the software they used to build their OS, they try to claim ownership of said software (by slapping their trademark on the finished bundle) and bully any entity that wishes to exercise the rights those licenses afford them.
In the US it's removed from the market without a price constraint.

Elective services like dermatology and cosmetic have managed to keep prices in line with what people can afford to pay out of pocket.

The other inflators in the US has been emergency room visits for people with no coverage at all, which are 10x more expensive than simply visiting a primary care physician. Plans pushing for funded HSAs would totally eliminate this problem as even the poorest people would have a reason to go where they could get more cost effective care.
They didn't like how the previous results were sensationalized in the media so they are proactively downplaying anything that could be used as a sound bite.

Do these distros point to Ubuntu's software center? Making your own distro, but pointing it at Canonical servers would be an issue as well.

"Enzymes are proteins that catalyze (speed up) reactions and consequently are involved in nearly every physiological process. You make a great point with the microbiota-brain interaction (also known as the gut-brain axis). We're starting to look at things like depression as a function of the gut-brain axis and consequently need to start looking to diet and antibiotics as a function of depression. "

Look at what you're writing. The US has had the policy you advocate for dozens of years; that's why they're called "illegal" immigrants.

Meanwhile: since 2000, the number of by-land unauthorized immigrants to the US has plummeted, with the share of unauthorized immigrants who simply overstay visas approaching 50%.

"The wall" isn't bad policy because it's inhumane. I care deeply about not deporting unauthorized immigrants but not even a little about the social impact of a big ugly wall in our big ugly southwest states.

"The wall" is bad policy because it's an extremely expensive make-work project that won't actually meaningfully reduce unauthorized immigration. It doesn't matter how high the wall is. Even the unauthorized immigrants who get here on land aren't running across open field land borders. The policy is a con, meant to appeal to a popular misconception of who unauthorized immigrants in this country are and how they got here.

You are like 2-3 Google searches away from verifying for yourself how stupid this particular use of funds is regardless of your opinions about immigration.

That's an easily correctable problem: learn the living daylights out of programming in assembler, and then C will be like a walk in the park: no more overflows, no more pointer screwups, no more forgetting to free the memory, because you'll know exactly what will happen in the chip and the memory when that code compiles.

You'll even start writing code which relies on integer overflow (rollover from #$ff to #$00 again) because, depending on the situation, it will give you a performance boost, or make the algorithm implementation simpler, or both, and you'll know it.

It's long past time to invent and use better systems languages.

I can't comment on Go, but the textbook examples of Rust and even treatises on the subject from recognized experts in the computer science field (Adam Leventhal) show it to be an utterly overcomplicated language for which there should be a criminal trial and a prison sentence of several decades. Immutables, borrowing, no, I have to stop; my head hurts already, and I'm getting a migraine thinking about solving even the simplest of classic input-output problems with such an overly complicated language. (And my head wants to explode when I compare Rust with AWK for solving input/output problems, the biggest reason why computers were invented.)

So... C, C, and more C, because it's infinitely flexible and simple. I like simple, because simple is smart. Complicated and complex isn't.

Let's all please be humane to one another and stop inventing more languages. We need less languages, not a bazillion variations on the one central task: making the computer do something. And for that, we already have all the languages we could ever want or need, and for the theoretical case where we don't, there is always the almighty assembler, in which exist no limitations as to what one can program with it.
