You are being disingenuous. In terms of social cost there is little practical difference between taking value through taxation and taking it through currency inflation. The Fed, FDIC, FNMA, FHLMC, and pretty much every other acronym that starts with F is backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. No, not officially, but the market has absolutely no doubt that this is fact.
I actually have to agree with the parent comment here. I think the message at both ends of the spectrum is bogus.

I've taken my fair share of psychedelics and while I've had good times on them, I've also had some of the most miserable moments in my life on them. The only instances I can think of in my life where I can say without a doubt that I would never want to repeat.

They're certainly not for everybody and there's nothing therapeutic about giving them to people in a fragile mental/emotional state.

Here be Dragons.
In the meantime you might find vegetarianism surprisingly easy - I know I did. It is initially a bit of extra effort because you need to learn brand new recipes and depending on where you live you might have limited restaurant selections but I mostly gave up meat 18 months ago and was surprised at how easy it was.

Plus it's way cheaper and you get to massively reduce your carbon footprint too. It's not for everyone but maybe worth thinking about? :)

Behavior leads to outcomes. If you emulate a people, you'll end up with the outcomes of those people.

Looking at the outcomes of shamanistic native cultures (e.g. a total lack of influence, power, freedom, equality, or prosperity), I'll stick to sobriety and industry, thanks.
Still, we can do something about it right now. We may need meat, but we don't need meat in every meal; if we reduced the consumption of meat, we could conceivably switch to more expensive, less efficient, more humane ways to grow animals.

If you can afford it, you can also only buy meat from non-intensive farming. Or stop eating meat all together.

I just don't think it's morally right to wait for a solution that may not ever come, or not for a long time. I eat veggie fake-meat often, and sometimes it's great, but it's not close to real meat and I don't know that it'll ever be accepted by most of the population.

patroni builds upon etcd and (optionally) haproxy, two rather mature pieces of infrastructure (which can both be made HA on their own if SPOFs are to be avoided).

I understand where you are coming from, but having this kind of multi-server-who-is-master knowledge baked into Postgres itself will surely take another couple of releases, if it will be included at all.

Probably BDR (bi-directional replication, master-master like logical replication) will be there first, but whether the question is whether it will help a lot for local scale-out workloads (as opposed to glueing two datacenters together and allow transactions on both sides).

Like "Chicken Little" from "The Space Merchants" (1952) by Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth [1]:

He swung open her door. “This is her nest,” he said proudly. I looked and gulped.

It was a great concrete dome, concrete-floored. Chicken Little filled most of it. She was a gray-brown, rubbery hemisphere some fifteen yards in diameter. Dozens of pipes ran into her pulsating flesh. You could see that she was alive.

Herrera said to me: “All day I walk around her. I see a part growing fast, it looks good and tender, I slice.” His two-handed blade screamed again. This time it shaved off an inch-thick Chicken Little steak. (Ch. 9)

Also [2]:

Scum-skimming wasn't hard to learn. You got up at dawn. You gulped a breakfast sliced not long ago from Chicken Little and washed it down with Coffiest. You put on your coveralls and took the cargo net up to your tier. In blazing noon from sunrise to sunset you walked your acres of shallow tanks crusted with algae. If you walked slowly, every thirty seconds or so you spotted a patch at maturity, bursting with yummy carbohydrates. You skimmed the patch with your skimmer and slung it down the well, where it would be baled, or processed into glucose to feed Chicken Little, who would be sliced and packed to feed people from Baffinland to Little America.

On January 17, 1912, Nobel prize-winning physician Dr. Alexis Carrel placed a part of a chicken's embryo heart in a nutrient medium in a glass flask of his own design. Every forty-eight hours the tissue doubled in size and was transferred to a new flask. Twenty years later, it was still growing.

In his 1941 story Methuselah's Children, Robert Heinlein paid homage to his work by referring to the famous chicken as a research tool for the long-lived Howard Families:

Lazarus found her servicing the deathless tissue of chicken heart known to the laboratory crew as "Mrs. 'Awkins." Mrs. 'Awkins was older than any member of the Families save possibly Lazarus himself; she was a growing piece of the original tissue obtained by the Families from the Rockefeller Institute in the twentieth century, and the tissues had been alive since early in the twentieth century even then. Dr. Hardy and his predecessors had kept their bit of it alive for more than two centuries now, using the Carrel-Lindbergh-O'Shaug techniques and still Mrs. 'Awkins flourished.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Particularly going Vegan. What sorts of protein do you usually eat?
The WHO said that red meat is probably a carcinogen, and that processed red meat is definitely a carcinogen.

But the amount of cancer they cause is quite small.

http://www.nhs.uk/news/2015/10October/Pages/Processed-meat-c...

> A key statistic provided by the infographic is that if everyone stopped smoking, there would be 64,500 fewer cases of cancer a year in the UK, compared with 8,800 fewer cases if everyone stopped eating processed or red meat.

This is for a country with a population of 60m to 70m people.
I was going to point to free market and libertarian but I didn't want to incite politic.

But yeah, many people that believe in this, thinks it's simple.

One example is my buddy who thinks automation is good and don't account the people who are displaced by it. When press for what he would do for these people. It took 20 minute for him to say: 1. charity 2. community 3. family to help those people. He also counter that because there's less worker due to automation their wages would rise. Articles have shown that their wages would do the opposite actually. But notice there is no government safety net for these people.

It's quite interesting.

If you want this free market, you want your country labor force to run at maximum. So in my opinion, free market people, should at least support some social safety net to transition these people into a new labor sector.

In general this free market thing isn't some law that came about from nature. It's a human invention... so the fear of having more laws or laws being abuse is crazy.

I am incline to believe these people are arm chair economists, just like myself, but with more faith in this mystical concept of free market.

Absolutely. That's the crux of the issue: do chickens' lives and feelings have any value? If so, how should society impose that value system on an enormous industry that optimizes to extract value from chickens' suffering?
MySQL has BIG problems with views. If the view statement contains aggregate functions, distinct, group by and some others constructs, the results from the view are retrieved into a temporary table, which then is used to execute the statement. If involved tables contain tens of thousands of records, this behaviour will hinder performance. In PostgreSQL you don't have to worry.

I think the timeline and discoveries made by the Cassini mission need to be understood in context to understand why the Cassini mission is being ended in this way. This document [1], I think, gives the details.

The main points from the article:

- Cassini was launched at a time when it wasn't known that Saturn could harbour life. From the article: The Cassini-Huygens mission to the Saturn system has revealed that there is potential for life where previously not thought possible.

- once Cassini revealed this possibility of life, it was too late to make sure it didn't contaminate the environment. Hence the decision to plunge into Saturn. From the article: Lebreton also explained that Cassini does not comply with the planetary protection principles. Accordingly, care will be taken to ensure that Cassini does not crash into a body which has a significant chance for hosting life, such as Enceladus.

Have you ever had a hamburger...?
> No. Jobs are created from demand. There will be no cars sold in a neighborhood, and therefore no car dealerships, unless the people there have money to buy a car.

True. But when people want a car, they do not automatically fall from the sky.

> If there are people there to buy a car, or a gallon of milk, then "job creators" will compete against each other to hire enough people to satisfy that demand, and take a cut of the revenue.

And that is how they become rich. People get a car, or a gallon of milk. A few people get jobs selling cars or gallons of milk. Someone gets rich by opening a store or a car delership.

> Demand comes first, then jobs to satisfy the demand. And if a "job creator" could satisfy that demand without creating jobs, he'd do it. "Job creators" are not in the business of creating jobs, they're in the business of making money, however the current economic environment allows and demands.

And when we have all our needs met without people having to work, with machines taking care of all our necessaities, we can think about Universal Basic Income. Until then, enterpreneurs will have to hire people to satisfy demand.

Ask HN: How do you design your prototypes for physical products?
As a developer who's been tinkering with Arduino, I've had a couple of ideas for physical products but I struggle with building a prototype i.e. an aesthetically pleasing casing branding and some hardware peripherals that would make the product come to life.

a) Which is the best way to develop a 3D design for my product after which I could possibly 3D print the product?

b) I also worry about revealing too much of the products specs before going to market. How can this be handled?

What I've considered:

1) Using a service like upwork to find a reliable freelancer (this brings me back to question 'b' above)
2) Taking a crash course on 3D modelling and doing it myself (I'm a self-taught developer and I've always thought I could learn anything but I have come to appreciate that it takes time to be good at anything)

EDIT: What is the prototype for? A pitch to investors.
Well it's a question of framing. If America is in fact world's police man who protect the rights and freedom of all citizens of the world then America routinely bombs its own Arab citizens and destroys millions of lives to protect their rights.
As can be seen in the recent discussion on steam developer fees, some game developers are advocating that the initial cost of releasing games should be increased. It would reduce competition. Having a proprietary c++ compiler plug-in be a requirement would server a similar purpose, limiting competition to established developers and those few who are willing to pay the initial price.

Most of us here on hacker news can afford to buy real food such as grass feed beef/lamb, forage egg/chicken, etc

Seems like a more natural evolutionary correct way to get our food rather than some kind of franken-meat grown i lab.

Every autumn I buy a lamb from the farmer living next to my father, I kind of like it when I can watch my food being happy before I eat it.
Both are status symbols - how little sleep you are getting but still managing to perform is an often macho status symbol at a certain middle class level. You are living the life and doing big work on very little sleep because you are just that tough and smart. wooooo.

however it is only a middle class status symbol. And in quite a lot of middle class jobs it seems required that you do this to stay in the middle class, because if you do take the time to sleep how will you keep up with the Jones'

On the other hand if you're poor there is no status symbol associated with getting little sleep, it is just something you often have to do.

And if you're rich there isn't any need for you to brag about how you stayed up late on the Andersen case for 4 nights this week, and got that out the door yeah.

When you're rich you can afford to sleep as much as you want, and that is the real status symbol.
Dating as a form of Penetration Testing
I find that this is such a superior approach for certain websites. If a site has a large number of secondary pages designed around totally different content, the "only touch the stylesheet" seems to lead to despair.

I've seen people crap out things like #aboutPage #mainContent p:nth-child(2) div button {styles go here} ... because they follow the "separation" concept blindly. And then, you know, a paragraph gets added in later. Made up example but you get the point.

Beans and tofu are the obvious ones. Stuff like quinoa and nuts are good too. Even green vegetables are good, you just need to eat a lot of them which you can because the calorie density is typically so low.
I absolutely agree. Reducing consumption is a win on pretty much every front. Another thing to do is diversify what is eaten. Have some (sustainably sourced) fish or shell fish a couple of days a week.

most of us in hacker news aren't most of the world.

also, "natural" is a kind of ridiculous term. plenty of food additives are natural, but that doesn't make them good. also plenty that are unnatural aren't all bad.

medicines are highly "unnatural", but they save lives. why is food any different?

given how quickly we're heading toward a world in which we don't have the land area to be able to feed our population (and by "heading toward" i mean we already don't and it's getting worse), grass fed anything is totally unsustainable. lab grown meat, or lab vegetables might be our best option, and i'd go with that over a tortured chicken any day
I'm a little mixed about having to run both compilers for more comprehensive result. DRY principle in me tells me that devs could have concentrated effort in one compiler to make it even better.
What is the prototype for? It really depends the objective I'd recommend one way or another.

For rough early prototype: polystyrene, cardboard, American duck tape, cheap wood. Add some painting for non-crappy look. This is good for dimensioning, seeing the shape, early internal testing, etc.

For a public prototype: 3D printed, CNC, reuse some box/similar. This is good for whenever you have to show it to other people be it investors, general public, etc.

About Upwork (cheap labor), from what I've seen most people there are in no position of stealing your idea and rushing to market with it themselves.
I am sure you mean well, but you are either to inexperienced or maybe a typical pothead which would like too see whole world happy and stoned/trippin'.

There are probably > 1 billion of people on this planet who wouldn't be better off with strong psychedelics. Even after single dose, many would end up with worst ever nightmare that would take them months or years to shrug off (probably never completely), others could easily have their already-dormant psychosis manifest. You can try all you want with environment and setup, each of us is so unique that you can't cover everybody, in fact far from it.

It's a very powerful experience, too powerful. Just talk to any psychiatric doctor, most insane asylums have at least few patients who didn't come back from various trips (various shrooms, acid, durman, ayahusca, mescalin and so on and on), and probably never will. Not everybody has body and mind resilience of Hunter S. Thompson.

Which part in "I'm all for the fredom of anyone to ingest whatever strange concoctions take their fancy" do you not understand?
One thing I learnt is that as humans we're probably more alike than we might want to accept. Many people are probably going through what you are going through and even though that might not be sufficient to make you feel like you're on top of the world, the point is, it happens to the best of us so you shouldn't feel alone.

Secondly, talk to someone you trust. Confide in them.

Thirdly, if you truly think you have room for improvement in your life and your relationships, do it now. Be better; you can do it. Start now.

Lastly, if you drink alcohol, stop it. It only makes it worse.

Stay hopeful.
Sorry, didn't mean to dictate anything. Having had the opportunity to live the perfect experience thanks to this molecule, I simply wish it upon everybody. I honestly want this planet to step out of the shadow and be happy, that's all.

Well, the small stations who don't have a person decided when to play the alerts are typically listening to two larger stations, and it varies which ones they are listening to. So yes, a malicious actor could conceivably do this, but he/she would have to be close enough the antennas and have a transmitter powerful enough to broadcast over the assigned signals.

As others have noted, larger stations generally always have at least one person present who can verify alerts before rebroadcasting them.

While I think LSD is a very interesting drug that can give people valuable insights and improve their (and thereby also others) lives, I would not do microdosing on a daily basis myself.

LSD increases serotonin significantly, and it's plausible that some of the well-being effect of microdosing is caused by this. The problem is that the brain tends to down-regulate its own production of a neurotransmitter when it is induced by a drug over time. Since the brain is plastic it will probably up-regulate the serotonin production once the microdosing is stopped, but there is a theoretical risk that neurotransmitter production and/or functioning is permanently changed.
