It's been 20 years now since the first medical-marijuana law passed, and it'll probably take another twenty years to finish filling in all the gaps, but it does feel like we've turned the corner on nationwide legalization.

And yet... marijuana is just one drug. How are we going to win the rest of the drug war? We can't afford to fight this battle one drug at a time; it'd take centuries. There are a vast array of interesting illegal psychedelics which are neither popular enough for the citizen-initiative process nor well-studied enough for the "dip your toes in by allowing medical use" two-step. I'd love to find some way we can use the momentum we're gaining from the legalization of marijuana to break down the entire Controlled Substances Act.

Would you (and others) be willing to have an extra 20 MB download to get better intellisense? We could potentially work with the PTVS team on better/faster intellisense, but it would require writing that code in .NET which would mean downloading a private copy of .NET for use by the extension.
I was considering their entire line...soyoustart, kimsufi, and ovh. There's not much cheaper than them. Hetzer in some cases, but not all.
The problem there is in your Task::run() function. It now looks like this in the commit I just saw:

template< typename T,typename ... Args >
future<T>& run( std::function< T( Args ... ) > function,Args ... args )
{
return Task::run<T>( std::bind( std::move( function ),std::move( args ) ... ) ) ;
}

It should look like this for that example to work without the type erasure (haven't tried, there might be typos):

template< typename Fn,typename ... Args >
future<std::result_of_t(Fn(Args...))>& run( Fn&&, Args&& ... args )
{
return Task::run<std::result_of_t(Fn(Args...))>( std::bind( std::forward<Fn>( function ),std::forward<Args>( args ) ... ) ) ;
}

This version is also more efficient, since otherwise you are type erasing twice.

> You go back to DHL website and you download the receipt, to discover a beautiful fake signature of yours forged by the driver.

Depending on carrier, this has hellish consequences for customers who end up having to file loss/damage claims against the carrier. Your signature attests that you received it and it's intact, so when the signature is forged attesting to such, any claims filed are summarily denied.

(Consumers usually get their money back from the shipper as a matter of customer service, but the shipper still eats the loss.)
Yuck... Why not try arch linux? Much better... imho. Antergos is a good user friendly distro that I highly recommend.

Why is it always windows vs apple..when linux -- esp for tech savvy folks/developers is so much better?
Not necessarily. There are things called "Veblen goods". For them, the demand rises as the price rises, because the higher price confers additional status. You pretty much have to be in prestige, luxury goods for this to happen, though, so it's (probably) not relevant to a discussion of entry-level housing.

I think mostly when people cite this they are referring to this study:

https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/news/20101101/...

Alcohol ranks very highly because of it's severe harmful effects on the body. However, behavioral effects tend to be those which make drug users a threat to society.

But cocaine's harm is highly dependent on its form. In some pre-Colombian civilizations, as well as in some parts of modern Colombia and Peru, drinking coca tea is/was quite common, and yet life carries on without serious problems. However, smoked and snorted cocaine tend to cause severe behavioral problems in a subset of users, and high doses of cocaine can cause heart attacks. Legalizing coca leaf/tea is an approach I've toyed with to significantly reduce the profit margin of drug trafficking (hopefully) without increasing the use parenteral cocaine too much.
I dunno. We’ve seen lots of (well maybe a number of famous) cases where an entire hemisphere gets taken out by stroke or trauma, and the sense of self manages to recover.

The brain is extremely sensitive to status across the rest of the body, but based on amputations and circumstances involving life support, viral pathology and hypoxia, there’s strong evidence that time keeping and concept of self sit just above the floor of the brain pan, near the optic nerve’s main cross-over, between the ears.

Those two things are pretty much completely unrelated. It is certainly bad for children to be exposed to deliberate behavior-mabipulation efforts pushing unhealthy food choices, but that's not in any way related to whether or not it's bad for them to hear words currently viewed as naughty.

pasbesoin says> " They prescribed a strong muscle relaxant in combination with either Percocet or Vicadin -- I forget which.
I switched over to the default over the counter dose of ibuprofen, and it worked better than the combination of those two "heavy duty" prescription drugs."

Had you continued the muscle relaxant (the problem was an involuntary muscle spasm), you possibly could have avoided further treatment (the neck brace).

If I suffer a muscle spasm that can't be massaged out, then a muscle relaxant + ibuprofen serves well for 1-2 days and, after that, only ibuprofen.

IMO muscle relaxants + narcotics is not a useful combination, their purposes(muscle relaxation vs pain-reduction) being orthogonal, except in cases of severe injury where near-immobilization is required.

> What's your point?

In Silicon Valley, affiliation to established institutions - schools, conglomerates, social circles - correlates with access to early-stage capital much more strongly than it correlates with actual performance as an entrepreneur.

This is bad for two reasons:

1) Silicon Valley investors, as a group, are wasting capital by investing too much in low-performing insiders, and not enough in high-performing outsiders.

2) Silicon Valley entrepreneurship amplifies social inequalities instead of reducing them, because a disproportionate share of entrepreneurial opportunities are reserved for insiders.

If you want a perpetual right to a piece of real estate, buy it. I'm a renter myself. I accept uncertainty as part of the bargain.

Part of renting is accepting that your tenure in a particular location might last only as long as your lease. If we had it your way and gave renters a de-facto property right to stay in their apartments as long as they liked, we would slow the development of cities and put pressure on the remaining housing stock. The renters benefit and the rest of society loses. That's unfair.

So, yes, "fuck 'em". Fuck people who want to be selfish and profit at society's expense. Selfishness is exactly what schemes like rent control, prop 13, Oregon's weird tax cap, and so on all enable.
> This seems like a simplistic take, and I don't think it accurately reflects the view of many people who actually work at Facebook.

Well sure. I'm sure thousands of employees have very sophisticated and subtle views. But when you average out all of those views, it winds up that the only thing that really matters is getting eyes on ads.

No one needs to be a villain. The subtle views just cancel each other out, and the huge amount of effort fb puts forth regresses to the mean. Get more eyeballs on ads.
You're right that new construction favors luxury housing, but I don't agree that this inevitably leads to displacement of other residents. Most of the effects of "trickle-down housing" are seen in the same market as older buildings must lower rental prices as the condition/amenities age and compare poorly to the newer/nicer buildings. Individuals must move as new construction replaces an existing building, but there will be other units available to move to in a market that is actually allowing new construction. The only situation that causes significant gentrification is when new housing cannot be built and prices rise due to concentrated demand...

> constant optimization towards viral dreck

Classifying a topic as/as-not viral dreck is, I posit, quite hard. Indulge me a bit here - I primarily come to HN to read about ML/AI/DNN. I mark the ones I like with the favorites button. During my work downtime, I go back to my favorites folder and re-read the topic. For some of the topics such as Word Embeddings, I must have re-read that paper a dozen times. I have actually used the material I learnt from my HN favorites list at my workplace, built it into products, gotten $$ off of it. So stuff like JIT compiler, LibHTTP, Bitcoin Bubble, Nintendo (all the topics trending right now) are viral dreck to me. I don't want this viral dreck. Get it off of HN!

You can see how quickly this sort of reasoning becomes vacuous.

I have an FB account mostly to interact with my extended family. Most of them are in their 70s and 80s. Every single topic they interact with on FB qualifies in my mind as viral dreck. However, by the nature of their comments, they seem to derive much pleasure in engaging with it. Given their age, who am I to deny them their cup of poison. Its not like they are going to get wise on word embeddings at the age of 75. Let them have their viral dreck.

Microsoft has also given up, it seems. They recently removed MS Paint, and suggested that Paint3D would be its replacement. Paint3D can not be removed (it will reinstall itself), and inserts a firewall rule(!) presumably to help call home.

Even the "Enterprise" editions of Windows 10 don't respect settings correctly, and happily engage in high-risk always-on data collection at the expense of whoever owns the internet connection. They've even backported this misfeature to Windows 7 as an automatic update, as far as I'm told.

And I might be saying that this was all okay in the long run, if the quality of Windows had actually improved as a result of this wholesale mandatory data collection, but to my eyes, it has gotten worse if anything.

All that being said, I'd agree that Microsoft is (if you can stomach all of this) at least trying to maintain a desktop operating system. "macOS" has completely lost its way. When a new release comes out, you don't get fewer bugs, you just get different bugs because they apparently keep rewriting everything.

Frankly, after having used every version of both macOS and Windows in the last 15 years, some extensively in a professional setting, I'm glad I get to use Linux at home (and 95% of the time at work). If things are broken, it's at least usually because they never worked to begin with, which is a much more hopeful position, especially being the sort of developer who doesn't mind digging in a bit to fix something or at least write an excellent bug report.
It would be interesting to correlate 'trajectory' with words in the post title.
Nothing more than bitching, moaning, complaining and fanboying about ecosystems. Sure, there are issues in the mac ecosystem that frustrate me but the mac ecosystem, on the whole, is an excellent system that works great for most people. Plus, there are a large number of 3rd party solutions to tailor the experience to your needs.

Since we're allowing fanboying, Windows is still by far the biggest pile of shit to work on and lags way behind Linux or Mac in developer experience. To me the linux subsystem is just another attempt to save a sinking ship. The author would be way better off getting comfortable in hisfavourite flavour of linux and build the environment exactly as he'd like.

Why the AR-15 Is So Lethal
I've recently switched from an old Mac Pro to a Lenovo x1 carbon (QHD, 16gb RAM, 512 SSD, i7). It was half the price of the equivalent current Mac Pro, with more ports and better battery life, no gimmicky touch bar BS and a much better keyboard imho (although the trackpad is worse).

Software wise, I use Windows 10 with the linux subsystem + a Linux VM (Elementary OS). I must confess both Windows and Linux are still a bit behind in hidpi support and the linux subsystem is not as well integrated as a MacOS console but I'm in general quite happy and while Apple designs these overpriced underpowered laptops with horrible features I can't really go back, even though the software stack might still be a little bit better for developers.

> Insurance is acquiring similar issues, though with very different mechanisms. As statistical inference improves, insurance ceases to be insurance... Risk gets pooled across ever smaller groups. The whole purpose of insurance is to pool risk widely. IMO, this is the problem the US' health policy architects underestimated. Insurance companies know too much to be insurance companies.

Insurance companies typically want the best of both worlds, to -know enough- to pool narrowly (or often, exclude high risk), but glean the benefits from wide pooling.

It's a double-edged sword, really; on one side, taking a step back and putting off the project currently undertaken can give one a clearer perspective of the subject at hand, providing a fresh take on it, in some way(s) previously not even crossed one's mind.

On the other side, all too often it paves the path to development hell--be it due to the neverending quest for holy grail/unicorn of your project (if you're leaning to being a perfectionist), or eating lotus by indulging on various diversions to entertain your boredom (if you're more of a slacker like me). Or, god forbid, both.
