I offer links to an engaging blog post [0] and a scholarly paper [1] that both suggest there is more to the epidemic than 'fearmongering and political noise'. Could you elaborate on the evidence for your beliefs?

The linked article here is surprisingly accessible!

I would add just one small tidbit of advice that might help interested people get up to speed: skim the paper, then look at the implementation.

The catastrophe (of the main storyline universe) was unequivocally caused by science. If I recall correctly, it was implicitly three orders of magnitude worse than the technological super-weapons of our own World War 2.

Metaphorically, the scientists were then treated like the plutonium pits of nuclear weapons--well isolated, so that they could not form a critical mass and start a runaway chain reaction, and arms-controlled, so that none of them could be exploited by politics.

When the world needed a lot of brainpower, fast, the scientists were taken out of their safe storage and connected to each other using the separate monastic order of technicians, to intentionally cause a runaway chain reaction. Basically, the whole world was already pretty much boned, so the political leaders might as well set off their doomsday device--which was nothing more than to allow the smartest people on their planet to collaborate in real-time. That was the same thing that had previously (nearly) destroyed their civilization.

This is a smart move by YC. This gives them a platform to assess promising ideas and teams at no-cost. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point teams become required to graduate from the program before being able to apply to YC.

I am not trying to be cynical here or downplay the value of their contribution. I think that they will genuinely teach the best of what they know to people. And what I am actually saying is that this is a good example of healthy capitalism.

This is an example of the fact that it is possible to articulate your best interests in a way that also helps people.

But I have to say that also admire the strategy itself. This is the kind of things that get you thinking : "they should have done it a long time ago" after you see the solution. Never thought about it either to be fair, but this is how you recognize the best solutions : they shine through their simplicity.

Anyway, well found and wishing you the best with this, and hopefully this will help and inspire many people to make the world a more pleasant place.
and particularly difficult as well. amazing how ragged and dysfunctional the universe becomes if we don't allow ourselves to make certain assumptions.

Supposedly getting rid of AMT is one of trumps campaign promises: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/taxes/010417/can-trump-...

Most people think AMT is a badly thought out disaster, but it brings in too much tax revenue and effects the upper middle class, so there isn't much sympathy / political capital for it. AMT also ignores state income tax deductions, which is pretty screwed up!

One example: when I was selling licensed software I don't think I ever managed more than $100K in annual sales (which to me seemed easy money). Enter Marco, my first employee.

Epidemic may be a strong word, but the rate of opiate overdose deaths certainly does seem to be increasing, and it's likely that cracking down on the supply of pain pills is a contributing factor to this.
We currently produce far more PHD than "the system" can utilize, so I'd propose it would look like PHD/postdoc extended into retirement as a career as opposed to theoretically being a very narrow academic pyramid.

I wonder if admitting the system is defeated would result in fewer people being pushed into an already overcrowded system.

Essentially the new system would be a vow of poverty and childlessness until retirement, rather than the existing system pretending a high paying job or tenured slot is just around the corner.

You need a relationship with the uni profs such as a perma-phd or else they're worried about liability.

I've found from a lifetime of screwing around that clear thought is necessary and an engineers eye for compromise. Your groundbreaking neo-fitbit probably revolves around code and having an ugly board full of parts, or at least it starts there, long before it needs a 3-d printer of little plastic parts.

Preventing that first time is probably the secret. It's got to be so much harder to resist once you know what you're missing. And it's not like you're rational about it and considering long term consequences when you're confronted with a second opportunity.

Unfortunately, we live in a society where it's all good, live free, don't judge, do what feels good, etc. That leads to things that feel extremely good...

On Apple's implementation, this wouldn't work; you're allowed five guesses before it reverts to password only, and you have 10 fingers.

Theoretically, you could encode using a rare finger (left ring) and exhaust the retries with the other ones.

So I'd argue also unconstitutional to force unlocking.
The other thing to keep in mind is that stock options (especially those given to employees) tend to be much less protected than shares.

If you exercised, and another shareholder got unfair preferential treatment, you have reason to seek compensation or sue. If you haven't exercised yet, .... well ... not so much.

Also, many option contracts give you the right to buy X shares at price Y and do not make special consideration for stock splits - e.g. a 2:1 split would likely make your options worthless by halving the share price, and by halving the percentage of the company that X represents.

So, waiting to exercise until you sell is a very good strategy, except when it isn't - not very common, but you rarely get notified about these issues beforehand, especially if you are no longer involved with the company.

> Seems like attacking the supply is great place to start.

That is what was done, transferring the demand to heroin as opposed to oxy. Also, focusing on the supply side of things is the last 30 years of US policy: it's not worked effectively, and has a concomitant effect of incentivizing black market dealers to be wealthy and power. It'd be better to sell OTC heroin than to fund violent gangs, just in the name of limiting side effects.

+1 for development of financial acumen. We can often point to people taking out 18% APY car loans, or going to Payday loan vendors and say how silly they are for not understanding finance, but we turn a blind eye when its the finance that effects us ( even though one could argue that compounding interest on a payday loan is probably more complex then your basic stock option grant )

Maintenance treatments with long-acting opioids like methadone tend to come with a withdrawal that lasts for months.

Meanwhile, short-acting opiates like heroin have a withdrawal period that lasts about a week. Is it any wonder methadone patients switch back to heroin when they try to quit for good?

Mark my words, this isn't going away or getting any better. You can prosecute doctors, regulate all you want, burn fields of poppies. None of it will affect the demand nor the supply. You can't price or regulate someone out of an addiction.

If people get cut off wholesale from their prescriptions because doctors are being prosecuted for prescribing pain medication, they'll turn to heroin. Which will be available, regardless of all the opium seized, regardless of cartels dismantled.

Just like when Oxycontin went under a formulation change making it resistant to abuse, which also caused the price to spike to a dollar per milligram.

People turned to heroin because it was cheaper, more potent, and much more widely available than pharmaceuticals could ever be.

If you think pill junkies are bad, wait until you look down an alley to see a heroin junkie injecting another junkie in the jugular because all her veins are blown out. Watch your step, though, lest you get a syringe in your foot.

I used this to nuance and to denote the fact that this is a rule of thumb, not one of the 10 commandments.
Turning into someone's driveway to make a U-turn on a narrow residential neighborhood is trespassing.

Without knowing more the best we could say is that high-IQ people are more aware of their crimes or maybe more willing to admit to them. For example, a property lawyer might be more likely to admit to trespassing than the average person just because he's more aware of how often he commits it. At the same time, his awareness of and persistence in such unlawful behavior doesn't mean he's flouting the law more than anyone else except in the most pedantic, literal sense.

The whole study sounds dubious. Relying on self-reporting is excused as necessary. That there are no practical alternatives doesn't make the method magically sound or even remotely accurate. That in the aggregate self-reporting roughly corresponds with crime statistics says absolutely nothing about the accuracy of self-reporting for niche subgroups.

It's this kind of pseudo-science that gives science in any field a bad name. I can appreciate that it might be especially difficult to find funding for a study that, first, establishes a strong correlation between self-reporting and IQ. But until there's significant push back from the community for studies premised on barely-tenable assumptions that funding will never be forthcoming.
but I think the real problem in Toronto is unbelievably low interest rates and easy access to mortgages.

This really is key. There was no 2008 housing collapse in Canada, but the larger economics pushed interest rates down hard towards zero.

Think of it as housing prices rising to capture most of the cheap money available on loan. If we see a significant and quick increase in prime rates it could see a real bloodbath develop.
Where has it failed? China has a lot of cities currently empty, but many are being populated slowly.

China building unoccupied cities has more to do with the fact that the average Chinese citizen is not allowed to speculate or invest in much other than real-estate.

10 Terrifying VR Horror Games Like Resident Evil 7 Biohazard
My understanding is that the reintroduction of prescription opioids is a major source of new addicts. Once the prescription lapses, people have often become addicted and seek out other sources.

It's clear that we need to do a lot more to help these problems, as you suggest. We can also do a lot to keep people from getting addicted in the first place, by choosing (and regulating) better options for pain relief.
I _wondered_ what the political & law enforcement community was going to do, with the clear failure of the War on Drugs and growing demands for legal marijuana.

Never fear! Here's the latest Demon Drug, which we can use to whip up popular support for another round of failed prohibition-mentality policies. No need to worry about budget cuts, reduction in the availability of military weapons, drones, etc. to law enforcement. There will still be a viable career in persecuting some of the most vulnerable members of society.

Those in favour of harm minimisation need to fight for legalisation, or at the very least decriminalisation as a strating point. Not just for _their_ favourite drug, but for those causing the most harm right now.
Is there anything like this that specifically addresses reliability in a critical (but not "safety-critical") system?
Note my comment above is apparently related to a different breach that involved MacKeeper. Please ignore, too late to edit.
'People have always done x' is the stupidest response possible to this sort of problem. Of course people have always done drugs, but the RATIO of people doing them to not fluctuates. There is a huge difference between 1% of the people doing opiates and 100% of the people, and to act like there isn't is disingenuous and dangerous.
Mostly wrong.

Pills were given out like candy, then restricted which caused demand for cheaper alternatives. Had the drug companies been regulated in the first place, we might be OK.

The pills aren't coming from mules or cartels, they are coming from US companies. The pill supply has to lowered.

I guess I don't know enough philosophy to understand some of the jokes.

Anthropomorphism: the apple moves like the snake, man was made to the image of god and so on.

Apocalypticism: the game just ends after a few moves without notice.

Asceticism: the game ends if you eat the apple, you are supposed to be like a faquir.

Capitalism: you start the game with 50, spend 10 each apple you eat - when you are broke you can't afford the apple.

Casualism: I had to Google this one, the screen just flashes
with random squares.

Conservatism: just the plain old snakes game.

Determinism: the snake just moves by itself and you are unable to control the game - your destiny was set in stone the moment you were born.

Dualism: you can control the snake body with the regular controls, and you can move the snake mind with your mind. My mind is too weak so I was unable to move the snake mind.

Existentialism: you move the snake in a dark screen - after reading the wikipedia I guess the joke has to do with freedom in a meaningless world.

Holism: the whole screen moves with the snake (makes it very hard to get the apples in the corners)

Idealism: imagine you are playing a game of snakes

Monism: your play is not restrained by the walls - after reading it I guess the joke is about you being made of the same substance of god or something like that

Narcissism: when you finish the game it sends an email to the creator about how much you love his work.

Nihilism: just a black screen, no snake, no apples - nothing in the world really exists.

Optimism: you see apples everywhere but looks like they are not nourishing because the snake doesn't grow.

Pessimism: the play field is smaller and the apples appear outside of the walls where you are unable to reach.

Positivism: you see only a narrow part of the play field, I guess the joke is that you are unable to know the universe because our senses are limited.

Post-apocalypticism: no apples, you just move through a scrambled play field.

Romanticism: every time you eat an apple you see a cheeky statement like "food tastes like ashes when I'm not sharing it with you".

Stoicism: like a plain old snake game but you don't die when you hit the walls or yourself - after reading the wikipedia article I guess the joke is that virtue is sufficient for happiness, so the sage is immune to misfortune.

Utilitarianism: you have only two very narrow paths, one with 5 apples and other with one apple. If you take the one with more apples you win, otherwise you loose.
