Again -- HTTPS errors are not exactly the epitome of the best UX. You could pop up a dialog saying "We can't seem to verify this site is really x.com. It might be someone else impersonating x.com. What would you like to do? [Ask Google/Microsoft] [Continue] [Cancel]" or something like that. And asking Google/Microsoft would be implemented by checking that the certificate is what they expect (so that we know it's not a MITM), whose public key they have already hopefully known about and pinned.

Note: I just came up with these ideas on the spot. I believe they're much better than the current system but in no way am I suggesting they have no room for further improvement.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. His potential solutions section is missing:

I did 10ug, felt like nothing.
I tried again with 20ug and wow the thought clarity is incredible.
This may be because I have ADHD + GAD + Depression
I'd highly recommend it to those considering.
I agree on the 10ug being placebo territory, but it could be that those seeing the effects are those that are likely self-medicating anyway. A normal person wouldn't notice, whereas someone needing the bump would, just a guess.

Comments on the linked article:
20ug yay
10ug why?
Hearing better: Surprisingly yes,
I definitely noticed this, and it was thoroughly confusing at first, but my best guess is that its related to serotonin, since similar medication has been used to treat Tinnitus (e.g. SSRI's)
It seems like serotonin is the signal amplifier dial, and mine is at a 9, people with Tinnitus are at 11.
LSD and SSRI's drop it a notch or two. (Another wild guess based on my personal + google-lay experience)
I think it aligns with what serotonin actually does, rather than the ELI5 "anxiety" label assigned to it.
The "creativity" feels like a hippie thing to ascribe to it.
I think it's closer to reducing the noise thereby providing a clearer signal for whatever is already on your mind...
There seems to be a hint of time-dilation, in that the racing thoughts I've had all my life, seem to slow to a "normal" speed.
I'm curious if this time-dilation aspect is what causes the weird trippy visuals people report at higher doses...
If the "signal" is light hitting the retina, maybe serotonin modifies the rate it gets processed, like slowing down or ramping up the FPS on a video camera.
No idea why I rambled this long on your comment, sorry haha

I've worked at several companies where we've sold things we hadn't yet built in order to finance building them, generally with the client's knowledge.

I note as well that Uber was selling rides quite a time before they had any kind of real engineering backend.
Though there are private schools that pay more; private tutors can make a lot more, esp to the super-rich.

[For a broader definition of "teacher", there's professional development seminars, and people who tour the lecture circuit. Though you're talking specifically about teaching children.]

Then, consider doctors (esp specialists and surgeons): there is an immediate, direct, measurable link to profound benefits, and though they are well paid, they aren't paid by commission... is it just because it isn't money?

Lawyers, esp barristers, are closer to the money, and do get a kind of "commission" (though some jurisdictions prohibit it).

Most engineers would do vastly better simply by negotiating at all when receiving an offer. I hardly ever experience engineers trying to negotiate when I hire people, yet when I've taken permanent jobs myself I have always negotiated and it has always yielded a higher offer (never once have I experienced anyone pulling an offer or refusing to raise the offer; sometimes they've not raised it enough for me to take it, though).
This articles reminded me the wonders that surround us while we go on living our boring human lives, so easily forgetting about the marvel of life and nature. Thanks for sharing this.

I quit facebook about 5 years ago, realizing quickly there was nothing of value in seeing how fake-happy people were. You only see the highlights, so when a friend announced a divorce we, including that person's family, were surprised as the relationship had appeared so solid. This appears to be a documented reality of social media in general.

Reddit is something else, and my reddit time has taken a dive over the last year or so. It's no longer useful to me and the 'community' have become rude, antagonistic and there's always a large group on any sub, including the smaller ones, where users take a contrary argument just for the sake of appearing intelligent, which they never succeed in doing. Only thing keeping me there are the Linux subs and sometimes the hilarity of askreddit (intentional hilarity and otherwise).
Seems faster indeed!
I agree, that would also benefit me enough to install a JS monster on my computer, if I could generate SVG or PDF from highlighted code. My current solution being taking Screenpresso screenshots.

Could someone please ELI5 how an "intimate" provider (such as Apple, Google or Microsoft) can collect any data ongoingly without eventual loss of privacy?
Moxie proposed something like this in the past, quite forward thinking: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_(SSL)
That's a myth. The real problem is that the average teacher (relative performance) is so far away from being close to maximally performant (as proved in studies which rigourously control teacher behaviour) that the impact of variation about that mean is swamped by environmental factors. People conclude that since swapping teachers doesn't make an appreciable difference, teacher performance can't make a difference. When in reality the problem is that teaching is uniformly bad (compared to maximal possible performance, which is very difficult. this is why the answer is not to look for better teachers but to look for better, uniformly implementable, curriculums)
I'm so happy to see a more realistic model of economics being taught!!

People will STILL call you a marxist/communist if you point out that current economics is wrong sometimes.. very wrong.

Like obvious-fucking-ly when we model chickens as "perfect spheres" in physics we know its only a model and not reality - the model is good enough for some uses, not accurate enough for others.

Point out that a "perfectly rational" consumer and "perfectly efficient" markets are models - that no market is perfect just as no ball is perfectly round.. people lose their shit.

The dogma of the day is Free market/capitalism GOOD , all other systems EVIL! Never mind understanding what precisely any of those words mean or correlating taught concepts to real world business to see how well they hold up.

To me it points to a huge failure in education really - these people were never taught the world is complex and economics is a highly simplified model that can't hope to capture everything. No model can. They were indoctrinated in a religion called economics, distinct from a science called economics.
The ag laws are among the few that make sense. Agriculture is big business in California, and we've been overrun by invasive pests a few times now. It makes more sense to keep them out than to try to eradicate them after they become established.

If I had to guess why we ban kangaroo meat, it's probably because too many people think they're "cute".

There's a famous quote on the dialectic:

> You may not be interested in the dialectic, but the dialectic is interested in you.

It is often mistranslated with "war" in place of "the dialectic" and is often misattributed to Leon Trotsky. [0]

The dialectic in this case was substantially more politicized than the one Lonsdale discusses. So the mistranslation to "war" is somewhat forgivable. I like this quote because it neatly captures the essence of dialectical thinking. The dialectic is provoking, extremes always are, and once you're engaged it's all-consuming. This isn't a bad thing, Lonsdale is encouraging us to engage with the dialectic, and I believe we should listen to what he has to say. However, the dialectic is a volatile thing, especially the modern dialectic, which might not be too many steps removed from the dialectic of Trotsky's era.

The "risk vs reward" is not a natural tradeoff. It is an artifact of creating situations driven by elevated risk, which is not always a rational approach.
Not everyone uses Swish, there are some holdouts. I'm one of them actually, for a variety of reasons. First of all I do not trust mobile devices enough to allow them access to financial resources. It is not clear where the liability lies in case of erroneous or fraudulent transactions. I'm also a holdout against the cashless society as I do not see the need for my financial transactions to be visible/traceable/mineable/monetizable by 'interested parties'.
I want open chat protocols so I can use whatever client I damn well please (e.g. Adium, Pidgin, some terminal thing, or a bot made from a little python script, ...).

Whenever I’m stuck using a centralized service (Twitter, facebook, some web forum, whatever bullshit IRC replacement businesses are buying this week, ...) their client invariably does something different than what many people want it to do, but we have no recourse because everything is locked-down proprietary bullshit, even though most of the messages are plain text and could have been delivered just fine by open protocols in 1990. Not to mention these apps are all poorly designed resource hogs that spy on everyone, inject ugly ads, and burn mobile battery.
> Point out that a "perfectly rational" consumer and "perfectly efficient" markets are models - that no market is perfect just as no ball is perfectly round.. people lose their shit

Then they didn't learn economics. Chapter 1 in Mankiw goes into why we learn using frictionless markets of rational actors. I think Chapter 2 or 3 went into market failure.

This is a great idea I'm afraid will never happen.
The reason people build those models with those assumptions isn't some great conspiracy, it's merely because under those assumptions it's actually feasible to build models. Building working mathematical models with imperfect information and imperfect competition and so on is a hell of a lot harder, mostly we don't know how to do it. Conspiracy theory is intellectually lazy.
I have no idea what I did, but I don't get any of that nonsense.

I have all notifications turned off in the app, I've disabled all email except if someone explicitly mentions me by name in a discussion (I should probably switch off that one, too) and I've made an effort to hide all kinds of stupid apps and games and pages that are nothing but time wasters. I also only like and follow pages that I have a genuine interest in (such as concert venues and bands I love).

Sure, there's a token notice from time to time ("why not repost a picture from 7 years ago?" and so on), but I find them easy to ignore.

Once you beat Facebook into submission, it becomes a reasonably useful tool.
A few good wet seasons in the North has also resulted in the crocodile population exploding a little... I am betting that it won't be long before the government is touting crocodile meat as substitute for chicken or similar... ;)

I’d just add that enough sleep is paramount. It’s happened that I made no progress on a problem late in the evening, and then easily solved it the next morning. Or worse, that I made some progress in the evening, and then realized in the morning that a much more elegant solution is possible.

It’s not the same as what the article is describing though, because debugging and problem solving skills automatically get better with experience, and through the course of normal work.
Very rarely, in my experience. The only dev I've worked directly with that was fired over job performance was first fired when he deleted the entire contents of the corporate IMAP server for a dozen or so people without having verified the most recent backups were up to date and working. We didn't lose enough for it to cause a lasting problem, but it was what finally demonstrated to the CEO that he was careless enough for us to fire.

His code was atrocious, but we'd put up with that until the IMAP incident because getting the CEO to understand that his code was bad enough for him to actually be a net loss in performance for the team didn't work until we had to scramble to recover what we could of the corporate e-mail.

Last I saw he was a senior developer somewhere more prestigious than the position he was fired from. Maybe he's improved. Or maybe he's just managing to stay above the threshold they'd fire him for.

A lot of bad developers just learn to fly sufficiently under the radar and hunker down and accept that they probably won't get many raises until they move jobs and can point to X years of service in company Y, aided by lack of willingness at many companies to stick their neck out when it comes to giving bad references (a lot of places I've worked, HR policy has been clear that we were only allowed to confirm dates of employment).
Here is a slide from the PRISM leaks:

Totally valid. It doesn't mean that until that problem is solved we shouldn't solve problems. I'd compare it to an anti gun-control argument I've heard. Roughly it's that some people who want guns enough will be able to get them, so gun control is useless because we can't stop all gun deaths at once. Which if flipped, is sort of saying that having less guns cheaply and easily available with more regulation is a bad thing.
What's so bad about POSIX IO? People not knowing that async write APIs exist.
Additionally, that mmap exists to bypass all the atomicity guarantees.
Both are in POSIX.
> I guarantee your sales people never sell enterprise software for fun.

A funny line, yet his "sales people" are really consultative problem solvers. Such people probably would apply their skills in areas such as community projects (e.g. sporting clubs, hobby/user groups, scouts, school, church), politics (e.g. local councils) and charities... for free.

These probably bear about the same relation to selling enterprise software as an engineer's side projects have to making enterprise software.
Why leak it one day before the event? Seems stupid and dangerous to me.

As much as they want to force you into messenger, they don't want to cut off users of feature phones.

> Leontief matrices

These are commonly called IO models in econometrics (for input-output). There are a number of successful IO models. Characterising these as "competitors" to supply-demand curve drawing is silly since they share common themes and complement each other. IO models need lots of data and underperform in situations where the market computes the table for you, i.e. where prices are clear, e.g. for commodities or liquid financial assets.
UK Spying on Palestinian activists
Here's something that's only touched upon:

Sales people can vary a lot in the amount of money they bring in, and the variance isn't necessarily explicable by things in their CV. In other words a guy can talk a good talk as well as have a positive record, but when you drop them into your org, you're taking a chance on whether they manage to get anything done. (Which is true for devs as well, but people tend to think -wrongly- they know how to identify devs.)

So paying them on commission is necessary because if they fail you want them out and you cannot afford to pay them anyway. If they do well they share in some of the upside from the uncertainty crystallising to positive.
What I did was pare down Facebook to the bare essentials. The only people I have on it are actual would-invite-into-my-home friends, the only pages I follow are for concert venues and bands I like, and I block and turn off every single stupid "joke" page, app and game I see.

Now I basically only get posts directly written by my friends, event notifications for concerts, and updates from my favorite bands.

I don't use Facebook for news, I don't engage in political discussions or stupid arguments. I guess I use Facebook for what its original intended purpose, to keep in touch with friends.
You can actually do that with mmap and if you want shm. (Mmap works on files well.)
Of course then you have to deal with all the dirt yourself.

This is factually wrong; rare earth elements are not required for batteries.

Rare earth elements are cerium (Ce), dysprosium (Dy), erbium (Er), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), holmium (Ho), lanthanum (La), lutetium (Lu), neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), scandium (Sc), terbium (Tb), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb) and yttrium (Y) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_element)

Lithium batteries generally require elements such as: Lithium, graphite (carbon), Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese, Aluminium, Oxygen.

None of these are rare earth minerals, and production of most of these elements is not concentrated in China. See https://electrek.co/2016/11/01/breakdown-raw-materials-tesla...

The powerful permanent magnets used in some EVs do require rare earth elements (e.g. neodymium), but many EV motors don't require permanent magnets at all.
E.g. Tesla uses an induction motor (no permanent magnet required); whereas the Nissan Leaf does use permanent magnets (assuming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle#Electric_moto... is correct).

How am I insulting someone's abilities ? He's making a blanket statement that mobile phones are easily destroyed, which is bullshit.

The same can be said for, e.g. glasses, should no one wear glasses anymore because they are 'easily destroyed' ?

Yup, that's the other thing. Obviously, the greens don't want nuclear power but so far, the renewable energy can't satisfy the current demand. Let alone an incresed one because of EV's.
No, it would cover the models that work. The reason any respectable economics text starts with frictionless markets of rational and then immediately talks about market failure is because to recognise the latter as a divergence you need the former as a baseline. Looking at things and asking "how does this make you feel" isn't scientific. Learning models that, while not great have shown some predictive power, is better. Economics pedagogy is far from perfect, but backing into the model by studying deviations seems like the wrong way to do it.

I've always been highly suspicious of those who resort to dialectic, and only dialectic, in their reasoning. I think its only a small part of the picture - that there are ways of synthesising ideas without requiring dialectic materialism.

Yet, its a common social structure - common enough that we use it without even thinking. And that, I think, is the worst possible outcome - assumption of correctness without correction.
