I know MDMA is frequently defended as being a "safe" drug insofar that there's no physiological health risks (e.g. alcohol's liver damage, cocaine's cardiotoxicity) but I understand the MDMA is neurotoxic (e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28801175 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16499508 ) - much like methamphetamine and amphetamine, which are both similar drugs, chemically and psychoactively. I've never taken MDMA but I know people who have - who describe how they refuse to take it more than once every six months to prevent said neurotoxic damage, as well as taking dietary supplements that allegedly mitigate damage - which corroborates what I've read on Erowid.

Obviously for certain classes of PTSD sufferers the tradeoff would be worthwhile (similar to how the negatives of stimulant therapy for ADD are a trade-off if it enables an otherwise healthy and productive life) - so I'm hoping this will enable further research into the negative side-effects of stimulant therapy for PTSD - as well as better research into supposed damage-mitigation techniques - so far a lot of published research on stimulants has been only performed on rodents whose CNS are considerably different compared to our own.

Anecdotally, I have comorbid ASD and ADD with an anxiety disorder and I found that amphetamine-based drugs prescribed for my ADD (Adderall, Vyvanse, et cetera) have worked wonders for my anxiety issues - which surprised my psychiatrist because typically worsening anxiety is a side-effect of amphetamine.
>They look for causes and solutions, not blame. They, as far as I know, pride themselves on this.

If the cause is a person's behavior, that is the same thing as blame. Look at the report of the Pinnacle 3701. Probable causes from [1]:

1. the pilots' unprofessional behavior, deviation from standard operating procedures, and poor airmanship;

2. the pilots' failure to prepare for an emergency landing in a timely manner, including communicating with air traffic controllers immediately after the emergency about the loss of both engines and the availability of landing sites;

3. the pilots' improper management of the double engine failure checklist

It's hard to look at that and say that the pilots weren't being blamed.

Off-topic: Let me get an Oorah.

On-topic: I noticed the tendency towards formality when dealing with many, many municipalities. This is, in and of itself, inefficient in many areas.

Example: A hole opened up in my schedule and I can fit your meeting in sooner. By the time I got a response, that hole was long since gone. Worse, I left that hole open in hopes that they'd respond sooner. They will say that you should have let them know, but you left a half-dozen messages with their secretary.

Lesson learned: Get to know the secretarial staff. I'm not going to suggest you bribe them, but I understand if you do.
That approach works even if you are doing an action alone.

Stating clearly: "I am pushing my commits to production", or even trivial stuff like "I am feeding the cats".

You (a) get a chance to realize if that's a stupid thing to do,(b) get to notice if your action doesn't match your stated intent, and (c) have a better chance of remembering that you did it. It really helps me, particularly when there's a lot going on to distract you.

Yeah, that's the sad part. I have friends from my rural home town that are trying to get me to buy with them and then they link me articles by cheerleaders that are heavily invested in some company or another. Guys that tell me they've diverted their 401k to bitcoin because it's the new internet. When I remind them that everyone got smoked in the new internet the remind me that it's not the new internet and link me to another opinion piece from another cheerleader.

Hi! You write

>ICO's of some form are unquestionably the future of raising capital for most tech companies up to a certain size

But do not mention "in the fintech space" or even software companies - you just say "most tech companies up to a certain size."

May I ask what the largest/most successful "traditional" tech company that used an ICO is? By "traditional" I mean that their tech has nothing to do with blockchains and they could have also just raised money on angellist, and today are just a normal tech company shipping some kind of a product, like a hoverboard.

i.e. nothing related to ICO's or anything like that. Out of such 'traditional' tech startups (that just used it as an alternative to angel and VC money) what is the largest and most succesful one? (Or what are some of them.)

I am not asking for anything related to blockchain or fintech as such companies are easy to find. Thank you.

> Aircraft carriers are driven by issuing voice commands to (mostly undertrained) helmsman in an environment where any additional noise could result in a misunderstood command and disaster. ... Imagine driving a car by telling the driver what to do from the passenger seat. Not just a "turn left up there," but "turn the wheel 15 degrees to the left, ok, now turn the wheel back to center, ok, now turn it back three degrees to the right because you oversteered..." It's insane."

Former aircraft carrier OOD (and nuke SWO) here. I agree with your comment about fatigue, but did you get much bridge time? At least back in the day, the conning officer's voice commands weren't so micro-managey. They were along the lines of, "Right 15 degrees rudder [0], steady on course 090," which the helmsman would repeat back to make sure the command was correctly understood. The helmsman would then turn the wheel as needed to make the turn and steady up on the ordered course.

[0] The conning officer would specify the rudder angle in part to control how much the ship would heel in the turn. That can be important when you have armed jet aircraft driving around on the flight deck.
Hats off to MAPS! What we need for drugs like MDMA are data. The FDA has turned down other drug companies who have sought breakthrough status, because their data didn't support it.

What will be interesting is if the phase 3 is successful. The DEA won't have any choice but move MDMA from schedule 1 to a lower schedule, as schedule 1 is defined as "no currently accepted medical use in the United States".

The hilarious part is MDMA is given as an example of such schedule 1 drug on their website.[1]

I think many people are having to face what their "side" has become, in a bit more clarity than they are comfortable with. The Republicans traditionally kept the fascism and racism hidden to some degree, but Trump simply isn't capable of that.

So they retreat into philosophical arguments about how you can't deny Nazi's free speech, because that's unamerican and a slippery slope. While Republicans continue their decades of voter suppression in plain view, which is apparently cool. What about "I may not agree with your vote but I'll fight to the death to ensure it gets cast and counted"?

No, they know they need the votes of Nazis and racists, they know they need to suppress minority votes. They know they need to tell horrible lies to get angry rubes to vote against their own interests. They know they need to demonise minorities. And they're slowly coming to terms with the fact that "their side" could never win without all this. But they still feel dissonance so they down-vote and try to think of a way to spin it so they have the moral high ground. As if Trump isn't going to remind us they don't, every single day.
Thank you! This is the sole comment in the thread that answers the question I was asking.

Also from the article:

>Wait... sudo? Giving sudo rights means you might as well not have separate users at all.

>Bollocks!

...and how we got there is was my question.

Still, there's more mystery. Privileged ports can't explain why the user has to jump through the hoops for software that doesn't need to bind itself to ports.

So, how did it come to packages requiring sudo in most distros?

I agree, but I also think that if your product isn't where the VC thinks it needs to be, and you've got plenty of money in the bank, that VC isn't going to tell you to take all the time you need: they are going to tell you to focus on hiring great people so you can build faster.

"You need to hire more/better people" is just the standard response to almost any problem.

Spark SQL is different from KSQL in the following ways:

- Spark SQL is not an interactive Streaming SQL interface. To do stream processing, you have to switch between writing code using Java/Scala/Python and SQL statements. KSQL, on the other hand, is a completely interactive Streaming SQL engine. You can do sophisticated stream processing operations interactively using SQL statements alone.

- KSQL is a true event-at-a-time Streaming SQL engine. Spark SQL is micro-batch.

We aren't going to war, at least not intentionally. The downsides of a conflict with a nuclear state, even one with questionable capabilities like the DPRK, vastly outweigh the upsides. And Kim knows this, which is why he feels free to continue to call our bluffs.

Trump's inability to bluff (or communicate with precision in general) has really messed things up at this point. I mean, taking his words as spoken he has already threatened to nuke them if they even so much as continue issuing threats. Not only did they up the threat ante within hours of that remark (c.f. "attack the waters around Guam"), they've now put a weapon straight through an ally's airspace. Where do we go from here?
There are any number of objective and subjective ways to know, the restaurant just needs to care about it. Off the top of my head:

- actually eating the food from time to time

- checking orders before they go out

- checking orders after they are done, to see if food remains

- checking yelp and other reviews

- being a chef and doing chef-like things
Pretty much the sole basis for considering DPRKs leaders crazy is the Kim family's ridiculous rants. The rants use weird language, and insincere threats.

And so now the U.S. president is modeling that behavior: Weird language (fire and fury) and it seems designed to be insincere, and just for laughs. It factually hasn't changed the calculus of KJU.
I think you should always try and network, you never know where your next opportunity will come from. Don't worry about people being resentful of your promotion, someone obviously thought you were good enough to do the job. Prove them right and you'll have nothing to worry about. The best way to move up the ladder is to probably get to know your manager's boss better since he's the one who promoted you in the first place.

I know a lot of people say that once you start managing people that you don't really do a lot of the technical work anymore. Personally, I love coding and if the technical side of things is something you enjoy then just make time for yourself to do it, even if you're only working on small things as part of your team. The other developers will see you in a better light as well if you're helping them with their day to day work.

ABCL implements CLOS classes in Java. It does not use the Java/JVM directly. For example a CLOS class is an instance of some Java class. This instance then has an attribute which has a vector of the CLOS slots. CLOS slots are not Java attributes themselves... The JVM object model is simply not able to provide CLOS features directly.

Last I've looked Jrebel used a funny mechanism. One couldn't just tell the class to add a slot, but one has to have Jrebel installed and given a new class file, it will detect it and then change/load the class...

That's a rather limited mechanism aimed at development... especially since it needs a license to work...
There's an insane quote from John Ehrlichman about the origin of the war on drugs in the Nixon Whitehouse:

https://harpers.org/archive/2016/04/legalize-it-all/

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

I wonder, is that credible? If so, it's kind of amazing how little has actually changed since those laws were put in place.

(Edit: okay, there are some reasons to doubt that quote) https://www.quora.com/Is-John-Ehrlichman-a-credible-source-w...

There are other problems too. Just in general, lots of bugs. For example, we'll run something and we'll get an obscure error, and then we'll ask the EDA company, and then two weeks later we'll get a generic "we'll look at it".

The hilarious thing is, sometimes the more expensive EDA companies aren't necessarily the better ones, our current partner isn't necessarily known as the most expensive tool suite, but we've actually had (so far at least >.<) had a much better experience with them than the bigger vendors.
Read & replied. Valid point, IMO. I would agree completely that people who make safer choices will live longer statistically speaking than people who push the limits, cross more lines, fail to plan, etc.

The numbers we have are averages, there are definitely people beating the average through greater attention to safety. And, unfortunately, some groups that are on the other side of average.

Equipment is getting better too, and I have no doubt is helping lower the death rates. Pretty sure that loads more people were dying under old rounds that today's controllable squares. Lots of people died in WWII in Jeeps under parachutes. I remember the museum in New Orleans saying that Jeep jumps had a fatality rate of something like 30%. Can't tell you how thankful I am that I've never been asked to do that.

Would be interesting (but small sample size) to do the math on the Golden Knights and find the mortality rate. I totally expect it to be lower than for the general skydiving populating.

Some drivers take more risks than others, and insurance companies gather a bit more data on that kind of stuff. Rates might be higher if you get a speeding ticket, precisely because that correlates with accidents and claims more than people who have no record.

I would guess that MDMA neurotoxicity is highly correlated with dose.

The therapeutic dose is likely a fraction of a single recreational dose (1/10-1/2). Neurotoxicity is likely most pronounced by crazy recreation drug users taking tens of doses in a single day/weekend. I'd be surprised if therapists found it useful for their PTSD patients to be 'rolling face', but I'm no expert.

EDIT: Seems like I'm wrong - therapists are using roughly 1 full dose for therapy

I think I somewhat misremembered the quote - it should have been "If you learn to sail a small boat, you can sail a big boat. If you learn to sail a big boat, you can't sail a small boat."

It's not about easier/harder. It's about responsibility and understanding.

Sailing a small boat is a "full stack" activity, from trip planning to navigation to the low level mechanics of jibing and tacking, even the act of physically keeping the boat upright if you're using a centerboard.

Sailing a large boat usually sees you in a specific role, doing a specific niche thing, and you never get an overview of the whole process.

The same applies to working in a large team of any sort, which is why you see software developers who can't write FizzBuzz but who nonetheless do fine in their particular niche.

No it's not. What needs to be explained is why you cooperate if you know that you will never play with the same person again. And the answer is that by doing so you get in the habit of automatically cooperating in similar situations in the future and other people recognize this habit and trust you.

>Changing where the files go would require more complex decisions to make everything "just work".

Since when things "just working" has been a core design philosophy of *nix systems?

Also, you do realize that the end result is that the things that should work just don't?

In my opinion, it's a design failure that [download the source - unpack - configure - make - make install] is a viable path to get something to work, but [yum install]" is not.
