I didn't try marijuana until way past the age when it could be considered rebellious. But in my experience with friends, smoking pot seemed to just leave them unfocused and unmotivated, which may have been the point.

But people (leaving alcoholics aside) drink alcohol for relaxation and for stimulation. For example, some see it as "liquid courage" and after a buzz, do things that they wouldn't have sober, some of these things even end up being a net positive. And then there's the culture of drinking, in which people work hard and play hard. Removing alcohol from that situation might give people more headache-free Mondays, but might have a negative effect on morale.

I'm sure many of us who drink can also say that some of our best memories/experiences happened after a few beers/shots. Again, I wasn't a pot smoker, but I'm having a hard time thinking of anytime I've done anything exciting with people who were stoned.
I guess something that's important to consider here is that when I wrote this I was considering whether the Ethereum presale in 2014 would be likely to be classified as a "security". I thought theDAO was a pretty terrible project and wanted to illustrate just how broad "investment contract" analysis could be stretched.

So to take your example, should I decide to pre-sell a commission of several pieces of art that I plan on working, the reasonable expectation of profits seems like a reach bc those who buy art do not solely do so to flip it and make a profit. I wonder whether the same could be said for those who invested in Status, Bancor, and Tezos?

Unfortunately, common law tests like "investment contract" analysis are, by design, super ambiguous.
A point to be noted here is: Scripbox keeps getting that commission even after you have left Scripbox and stopped using it.

Same with FundsIndia etc. I would say, avoid any MF that is not direct. the long term hidden cost is staggering.

@Nikhil Congrts and just a feedback: I would have been very much interested if you had a monthly fee plan like Zerodha Coin and also offered advisory and analytics like Invezta, ORO etc. They all offer direct plans.

Of course, the largest flaw with any sort of marijuana-based study is that the effects of marijuana on the user vary based on the strain and THC content. The authors admitted that the level of THC content in Maastricht’s strains of marijuana tend to be around double that of the US.

Unfortunately any real controlled studies are going to be difficult as long as Marijuana remains such a vilified topic, which results in studies like this being used as ammo rather than another point of data.

This exists already, from some pretty serious telecom companies, for distances of a few miles. The problem is that, in optical wavelengths, there's too much absorption and scattering in the atmosphere - fog, rain, storms, smog, smoke - that can disrupt the signal.

SVN is a relatively painless migration, and is better simply because of a single changlist number to track like perforce.

Personally I advocate for Git, in leu of that, mercurial. CVS was so painful, it's just hard for me to imagine that people aren't actively figuring out a way off of it. It's literally one step above RCS...

Also, could you please expand upon demat disadvantages? How much is that demat txn charge? I think it's kinda insignificant.

Also, from a user point of view, if one has a demat account with Zerodha they can also do stocks with the same account without having to pay for demat again with another provider, right?
Show HN: A tiny (400B) client-side module for tracking with Google Analytics
You are right. I forgot about the charges for the demat account - there are AMC charges of Rs.300 per year. So that makes zerodha coin about Rs.75 per month.

But there are no transaction charges in zerodha on buying equity (delivery) or MF. So it is still cheaper than piggy for someone wishing to make a large number of transactions or someone who doesn't want an SIP but wishes to invest manually every month.

Also, if you need a demat account for some other purpose - like investing in ETFs or equities then maybe it makes more sense for some people.

If all you are doing is an SIP with a couple of mutual funds, which is what most people around me do, piggy is probably cheaper. You can always have a zerodha (or equivalent) account for equity/ETFs/etc. and piggy for MFs.

But for someone like me with slightly different requirements, zerodha would be cheaper. I have a variable income so SIPs are not an option for me. I invest money as a percentage of my income so the amounts vary every month. In this case zerodha turns out to be cheaper despite the demat charges.
That's a very slow and technical way but you can still do that if you want.
Main takeaways:

- 0.4kb vs 12kb for official client (gzip)

- Respects visitors' `doNotTrack` settings

- Does not ship internal XHR library

- Correlates to the Google docs

- API is 99% familiar, haha

- Well-documented

- Cacheable

It isn't exactly a drop-in replacement, but the tweaks needed are incredibly minor.

The GET requests are made via `new Image()`, which is a low priority network request, so your critical requests won't be blocked or delayed because of a trivial `pageview` analytic.

Internet Explorer is not supported by default; however, it's VERY easy to regain compatibility. `Object.assign` is the only roadblock, which has a Babel quick-fix.

It seems like evolution would have had to stumble on several different pathways for slowing aging in order to produce long-lived species to begin with.

Perhaps the smaller mammal research doesn't seem to apply to humans because our aging pathways have already been somewhat optimized?
I realize that scientific consensus is that gene editing should not be permitted to enhance human performance - be it mental or physical.
But if one nation ignores this consensus, and starts producing "super humans" wouldn't other nations be compelled to follow?
Otherwise, over time, wouldn't their citizens, and their nation, slowly fall behind as a country of power and status?
Just a thought.

It's interesting to me to see this project be both so innovative in security domains, yet so backwards in usability.

I was trying to install openbsd on a new router this week, and I had a hell of a time trying to repartition the disk such that it didn't pre-allocate partitions for X11 (which I had no use for). I could delete partitions but then I got empty spaces and seemingly no good way to resize via the primitive CLI. I googled around and found this thread [1], where someone suggested a GUI installer to help novice users install it, which got this reply:

"Uh no. The OpenBSD installation routine is perfect as is. I would not want to see a GUI installer on my favourite BSD."

Really, perfect? Could not be possibly improved? And because you don't want a GUI, no one should have one? All the rest of the replies were similar to boot.

I went back to Linux as I can only imagine what the rest of running it is like. Sometimes old stubborn cranks can really get in the way of progress.

I'm quite happily and non-fatiguely doing a lot of JS front-end development for my own projects... without any frameworks except a bit of jQuery for DOM manipulation. Now, my needs don't quite fit the common interface models anyway, and as I'm doing stuff for technical users, I don't bother with any browser backwards-compatibility.

But as far as managing data, behavior, socket communications, and CSS-styled DOM manipulation goes, I have zero desire to enter the morass of heavyweight framework churn. JavaScript is a pretty reasonable language that you can be quite productive with even in the browser for front-end tasks.

Appears they accounted for whether amount of study time increased as a result of the ban.

My thought on this is focused mostly on the fact that the city was apparently filled with "problematic drug tourism". In other words it appears they're saying the city was becoming (if not already) a "college party town". I'd be curious to know what kinds of "distractions" ended up leaving the city because of the ban.

UWP will handle touch-enabled Win10 devices better. And while it's not a segment anywhere near the size of iPad, it's still there, so if you can reach it, why not?

The problem is that right now, doing UWP means no Win7 support, and that's a far larger segment - there are twice as many Win7 installs as there are all Win10 installs, and Win10 tablets would be positively minuscule in comparison. So this will change if and when Win10 becomes the dominant Windows desktop OS.

I'd argue most wifi chipsets do not have working drivers, but I have an apparently high bar for "working": It has to stay authenticated to a given access point indefinitely, can't kernel panic or require reboots to switch to a new network, and needs to have competitive throughout and tail latencies under load.

Most wifi adapters fail at least one of these requirements under windows or linux.
I know a real professional hacker who has worked for me once in this past month. He is very good at hacking. He offers legit services such as clearing of bad records online without it being traced backed to you, he clones phones, hacks facebook ,instagram, whatsapp, emails, twitter, bank accounts,FIXES CREDIT REPORTS, tracks calls. He also helps to retrieve accounts that have been taken by hackers. His charges are affordable, reliable, 100% safe. Contact brianhackwizard@gmail.com or add him up on whatsapp +1(628)-204-3299
My guess is that there would be no need to remove or reprogram. I assume the chip simply presents a unique identifier and nothing more. The old company could just remove access based on the identifier and in a similar way, the new company could grant access using the existing chip.

In simple terms, he is making a custom delay-box for a fancy player-piano (the Yamaha Disklavier). For one example he programmed the piano to be symmetric (i.e. any note on one side will nearly immediately play a cognate key from the other side).

There is not much about the code, but a freeze frame at 1' 34" shows a Processing 3 logo [1] which is likely used for generating the real-time graphics for performances, and can also be used to communicate with devices.

So, follow-up question: are Team Fortress 2 hats securities? It arguably meets all four points: Valve gets money for releasing hats into the TF2 ecosystem, TF2 is a common enterprise, hat speculators expect to make a profit through simple capital appreciation, and the hat owners rely on the effort of Valve to develop TF2 for their profits.
Everyone wants to make developer tools for street cred, and the github 'social coding' culture is just a vehicle for self promotion. I agree that in the blogs and conferences there's not enough focus on solving business issues, but people should care about languages, because it also is a business issue as others have pointed out. An example: if I worked in a AAA game studio and I decided to write a critical feature in haskell and then quit, will my boss and coworkers care? Maintainability of code, documentation quality and testing are not prioritized enough in the community and conferences which is why i feel there is so much churn, and we get a new programming language every second friday. ie the new tools are the symptom, not the cause of the problem.

OpenBSD "partitioning" is actually a disklabel, and the TUI for it is not bad. I almost always tweak the default partitions a bit when I install, because I like a larger /usr.

You maybe missed option R:

compacting unused space between partitions with a higher
offset. The last partition will be shrunk if necessary.
Works only for automatically allocated labels with no spoofed
partitions.
