> Most recent studies in psychiatry and social sciences that I have read, even those published in Nature, use sample sizes of around 50 people, which should be considered insufficient.

I disagree with your reasoning even if your conclusion is correct about the validity of those studies. Small sample sizes are not intrinsically bad and there’s no magic number to make sample sizes valid. It’s a sliding scale with statistical significance - with a large enough p value a relatively small sample size doesn’t mean the observed phenomenon isn’t there. In that case I would be more concerned about p value hacking or the researchers “presuming the conclusion from the outset” than the sample size.

Perhaps we need to look at it from a meta-perspective then? I'd argue that it was caused by the existence, and ultimate subservience of people to, a state. Large states too, where power was allowed to accumulate, develop and weaponize itself in the form of an army.
Still, the comment above still stands. Not sure about the key bruteforcing estimates, surely a couple of days of readings would be enough.

Are the keys stored on the devices? Is it a shared key?

The grandparent post was about FB and MySpace, not Twitter.

However, Twitter is a different beast. They got better over time because Twitter evolved from a friends network to kind of a interest-driven network. At the beginning people were following friends and then you had the same dissatisfying outcome like with FB (nobody wants to unfollow a crap-posting friend and muting wasn't available then). But nowadays you rather follow people on Twitter based on interest or because you share the same industry, etc.

Corporation as AI is good analogy. But as with many, he stops short and repeatedly just says corporations. Please, every large group entity - governmental bodies, unions, non-profits - is an AI. And with/in those groups (and corporations) are also competing AIs.

Comments about weaponized social media: It is odd that we in the West don't want to acknowledge / know / accept the US government and US tech firm roles in the Arab Spring and Ukraine. If we even go further back, really Wikileaks were the true pioneers in weaponizing social media.

I maintain to this day a personal IRC network. Many of us have been “together” for over a decade. In fact I just tried to advocate self-hosted communities at CCC. So I’m also stuck in the past and refuse to let the internet go. But I have two points I’d like to mention.

1) Forums are dead for almost all but the biggest communities that surround a product of some kind. Social forums are simply dead.

2) As an IRC-user mentioned at the CCC. Facebook is the new telephone number. It’s significantly easier to ask for a Facebook friend request than a phone number and that edge will keep Facebook relevant even if we saw a rise in self-hosted or segmented interest driven communities.

I also use my Kindle for reading fiction, but not for non-fiction.

My holdup with non-fiction is that I find that the experience of reading a physical book helps me learn more effectively. I can write in the margins, underline, and dog ear pages. I can flip back and forth to reference previous chapters or notes, based on the visual cue of those markings and folds. And all of these books are mine forever, for me to reference years later.

I’m sure eBook readers will continue to get better and better, but for non-fiction books I plan to reference in the future, a physical book will be hard experience for eBook readers to beat.
There is something in what you say.

I have to say I think this conflation of altright and neonazi is lazy in the extreme. By the media and most posters here.

Democratic socialism has overlapping territory with communism but we wouldn't say Sweden == Soviet Union.

> those ideologies have at their core the idea of resisting cultural and civilizational decline. I personally think their scapegoats, theories, and solutions are all BS but they're getting somewhere because they are talking about the problem.

I find the most incisive statements are to be found among the neoreactionaries and technocommericalists, with Thiel's loosely associated Stagnation Hypothesis being compelling to me.

> The angst comes from the secondary implication that the future is not set and magic will not happen and that we are actually going to have to deal with our problems.

He says "we can't sit and wait for the movie of the future to unfold", it's the same idea.

The ray of light there is that it is put forward that our funk is to do with social changes in how we think or past civilizational technical debt. A good example of that thought from Hollywood is Interstellar.

I feel like it used to be the case that "change how we think can change who we are/what happens" used to come from the left but now it's coming from the right. The right looks at past glories and says we must change to get to something better, the left says it is all terrible and we must prevent anything from going wrong which means everything must stay the same.

There's been a weird role reversal of some sort.

> This will continue and will get worse until people get their heads out of the 20th century and start articulating new visions of the future.

I've yet to hear of an example of that from the left, the utopians have lost faith. I've listed some examples in my other post but like I said to people like Stross they likely smell of sulfur.

>3. modern clinical psychiatry is an evidenced-based, research-driven field which treats and forms diagnoses on the basis of decades of research into any particular condition. It isnt the 1950s.

Your post was okay until your last point. While it isn't the 1950s, its absurd to contend that "modern clinical psychiatry" isn't massively subjective in terms of both treatment and diagnosis. The fact is that the vast majority of psychiatrists reflexively shovel pills at those perceived to be afflicted with poorly-understood mental disorders. In reality, we are only beginning to scratch the surface when it comes to understanding how the brain works, let alone the human psyche. One of the most egregious illustrations of this fact are the over 1 million children under the age of 5 taking psychiatric drugs. We still don't know the long term outcomes of our tinkering with the developing brains of infants and small children, and its hubris (or worse) to pretend that we do.

I'm half reacting to a reading of your post that many readers will have, even if it's not one you intended.

On the whole I appreciate you introducing the real prevalence of ADHD, etc.

However the lack of engagement with the reality of treating ADHD and the implied "concerns" is a very easy prelude to a rant about middle class mothers, and the medical establishment.

If I'm a little harsh to you, its only as a stand in for what your post would otherwise be used for: the occasional reader unthinkingly associating it with an attack on effective treatment.

There are some very good criticisms from the alt-right. There are also great criticisms from the left and from the conventional right. It's easy to criticize. I always skip to "what's your solution?"

The solution offered by the alt-right is neo-monarchism and race nationalism. No thanks. Not only are these irrelevant and backward-looking but the latter is morally evil. Ironically it represents a rejection of the core of Western moral thought from Christianity through the enlightenment.

I agree to some extent with Thiel's stagnation hypothesis. I used to be really excited about him, thinking he got it and might work behind the scenes to try to re-invigorate a culture of genuine innovation in the West. But then he jumped on the alt-right horse and I lost interest.

One of the core hallmarks of a declining or at least demoralized/disillusioned civilization is looking backward. The right is now looking back to the Middle Ages, the 1930s, and the 1950s, while the left is still looking back to the 1960s. Reaction is what decline looks like.

Quote from the article:

"Unfortunately the cost savings provided by XRP are not very high when compared to the risks of adopting it. In the best case scenario XRP would save banks an additional 33% over xCurrent."

So, according to the author, using XRP could save banks up to 33% in costs. His argument for saying that won't happen is that its too risky. Ripple (the company's) argument against that is they have escrowed away most of XRP and will release it at very specific intervals. They are very motivated to keep the currency stable. At higher prices, and higher volumes, that will happen.

To me, to change books, Kindle need to make reading a more social experience. Just like buying a book in a second hand store with notes made by others who read it, I believe that one of the most important aspects of an ebook is to add history so that it's not just a digital asset on a hardisk or in the cloud but a piece of work other people have also read and enjoyed.

I also believe something like tokens could be an interesting way to add this history so that you could re-sell ebooks on a second-hand market and based on their history you might even see an increase in price.

> ny large political system eventually turns out to be either authoritarian or ineffective

Your thoughts on seasteading, even as a hypothetical?
I understand what you're going for, but I think this idea would just reinforce the imaginary walls we use to group humans. The underlying idea is that X-people understand X-people, where X is some arbitrary group, but non-X-people lack the perspective they need. For example, we consider people with black skin to be a group, but not people with blue eyes, or people who can curl their tongues. Let's just work our way toward thinking people are just people instead.
Or maybe it was just a bad idea.

{I am not a lawyer. I am assuming that you have control of the company and not a random employee}

Hire an attorney now or hire an attorney later, maybe. Pay some now, or more later, maybe. The real issue isn't legality, it's risk. How much could it cost versus how likely it is.

Going a step further, anyone who is going to appropriate your branding in a way that hurts your company probably isn't going to worry too much about MIT...or rather they are not going to hire their own attorney to get an opinion that it is legal.

Or to put it another way, if it isn't worth hiring an attorney, it isn't really worth worrying about.

Good luck.

(As another European) it's hard to see any alternative for regular people whose profession just happens to put their life at almost permanent risk, thanks to the attitude toward guns over there.

<sarcasm>We should also ban other dangerously addictive activities, such as fiction books, non-video games, sports, DIY hobbies (e.g. electrical engineering, painting or storywriting), pets, hanging out with other people and lots of other things.</sacrasm>

I'm no expert on the matter, but I think you're completely missing the point. The keyword here is "gaming addiction" not "video games". Please, for the love of all the sanity that's still left out there, don't mistake one with another. There is a lot of things that one suffering from behavioral disorders could get addicted to. Unlike substance addictions (which are complicated matter), games (or overindulging in escapist fiction or having dozens of pets) are more of a symptom than an underlying cause.

If you'd try to ban just about everything that one could get hooked onto, it won't help the person a little bit with their impulse control. It would just make their and everyone else's lives dull and boring, probably leading to much more unhealthy situations (just my guess, though).

This is more "everything is the same" anti-expertism.

Clinical psychiatry is not about p-hacking groups of 50.

The treatment of bipolar disorder hasnt been decided on the basis of what happened to the last dozen undergrad students.

>The matter of fact is, we know very little about how the brain works.

Profoundly untrue. Even if it were truth, its very truth would preclude your ability to make this assertion. If we knew nothing, how are you estimating the nothing we know?

It is no mystery what happens when you give a person lithium. Nor some speculative game to know what the effect of MDMA on PTSD patients is. Nor hocus pocus to identify the effects of repeated trauma.

How are you deciding what percentage of "how the brain works" we need to know in order to do psychiatry in a reasonably well-informed way?

Suppose, even, we know now 0.1% of the entire story. Is this sufficient for an evidence-based treatment of psychosis?

It clearly seems to be. Since the treatment of schizophrenia is overwhelmingly more effective than anything based on a study of 50 people.

Your comment may very well apply to "journalistic science" ie., the increasingly prevent, "ive just had an idea, lets get 50 undergrads and a seminar room!".

That is a tiny percentage of science, even if it is the most commonly popularized.

No force was called for here. Had force been called for, i.e. if the story about a murder and an armed hostage situation were true, running in with just tranquilizers would have been insufficient and would have led to dead cops.
