It would indeed be extraordinary if - alone among the neurotransmitter systems of the brain - the endogenous opioid families were immune from dysfunction. Enkephalins are critical to "basal hedonic tone" i.e. whether we naturally feel happy or sad. Yet the therapeutic implications of a recognition that dysfunctional endogenous opioid systems underlie a spectrum of anxiety-disorders and depression are too radical - at present - for the medical establishment to contemplate. In consequence, the use of opioid-based pharmacotherapies for "psychological" pain is officially taboo. The unique efficacy of opioids in banishing mental distress is neglected. Their unrivalled efficacy in treating "physical" nociceptive pain is grudgingly accepted.

Given that the microscope inspection saw the individual bits in the microcode tables, I wonder how possible it would be to visually extract crypto keys baked into the processor for newer models. I doubt they'd be in a nice orderly addressed ROM area like this, but they still have to be hardcoded somewhere.

Did you read the article?

The leaders entrusted to expand New York’s regional transit network have paid the highest construction costs in the world, spending billions of dollars that could have been used to fix existing subway tunnels, tracks, trains and signals.

The estimated cost of the Long Island Rail Road project, known as “East Side Access,” has ballooned to $12 billion, or nearly $3.5 billion for each new mile of track — seven times the average elsewhere in the world. The recently completed Second Avenue subway on Manhattan’s Upper East Side and the 2015 extension of the No. 7 line to Hudson Yards also cost far above average, at $2.5 billion and $1.5 billion per mile, respectively
They do, but it's less helpful than it sounds. It only plays a sound if the AirPods are not in their case. Since I am fantastic at putting them in their case the instant they're not in my ears, I never have a chance to lose mine in a way where this feature would help.

Granted, it's harder to lose the entire case, though it's still small enough and made of slippery plastic that can slide out of pockets if you're unlucky.

>To reduce the fees, we need to remove that artificial 1mb limit. Here's the main approach to that right now...

Removed the BCH spam link. No, this is NOT the main approach to that. The main approach to that is the Lightning Network, which is not yet in production.

Your "main approach" is a hardfork that increases the block size, run by someone who owns the bitcoin.com domain, regularly misrepresents what Bitcoin Cash (bcash) actually is, and goes on live shows yelling obscenities and flashing the middle finger very professionally when these things are pointed out.

So, no, Bcash is not the main approach to "fixing" Bitcoin. It is a wholly separate coin with trading volume less than one-third of Bitcoin.

It is a two year trend. Sure, it needs to be explained, but it isn't like some Chicago is some hellhole as it is often portrayed by certain media outlets and politicians. If you look at the 2014 crime statistics, Chicago has a lower crime rate than Minneapolis. Chicago was like #20 in crime rate.

He has an interest in the success of Daps because without Daps becoming widely adopted Eth is just another alt coin, it clears faster than bitcoin but that's not much differentiation if you don't start to see a major pickup in the use of Daps to solve real world problems.
He has talked pretty frequently about how he has and likes Eero’s products on his podcast.
Your demonstrating the same ignorance the post you’re replying to is complaining about. It is not physically possible for the phone to draw sufficient power off a degraded battery to power it in high performance modes. The battery just doesn’t provide enough electrical current. Apple isn’t stepping back performance on degraded batteries to keep battery life. They are doing it to keep peak current draws at a level the battery can support so that the phone doesn’t hard shutoff when it is receiving insufficient power.

The bug report and comment thread itself is sensitive. The only possible way they could do this is if there was a checkbox on externally-reported bugs saying "allow this to be public", but that will just move the goalposts, because maybe 0.0000001% of the bug reporter will end up public, and you'll still have your bugs duped to private stuff, and search will be almost entirely useless.

If you want public bugs, go look at OpenRadar. It's a website where people can opt into posting their Apple bug reports publicly.

> taking months to ultimately communicate nothing except an unexplained status of “Duplicate”

Hyperbolic much? As I already stated, dupes generally happen within a week, often within a day or two. In fact, I've filed well over a thousand bugs and I've had something get duped over a month later maybe once or twice.

> In Xcode 4.x they reinvented their own window/tab manager and to this day I can’t get this “pretty good IDE” to put anything where it’s supposed to be and remember that next time.

What do you mean? The window manager is not custom, and the tabs, if not actually the OS-provided tab functionality at this point, sure seems pretty close. In all my years of using Xcode it's never had a problem remembering how I set up my window.

> It still has problems automatically showing a source file and its header file side-by-side.

It does? I admit I don't use the automatic Counterparts feature very often, but it's always worked for me. What issues are you seeing?

> Also, when I open projects explicitly, it likes to display a mixture of tabs showing source files from entirely different projects

Again, in all my years of using Xcode, I've never even so much as heard anyone mention anything remotely like this. What the heck are you doing with Xcode to cause this to happen?
> they were each being paid about $1,000 every day

How is this even possible?
Sure, and the same anecdotes hold in Manhattan. I've had friends robbed at knifepoint in the Upper West Side, I've seen phone jackings at 1pm in front of Gristedes in the Upper East Side. Hell, my brother's roommate in Harlem was clocked with a baseball bat in the head while leaving his apartment and subsequently robbed blind.

By and large NYC and San Francisco are both very safe cites in the grand scheme of things. (Unless you are a car window in San Francisco. Then you are screwed).
I'm sure getting more negative about living in NYC was exactly one of the things that the authors of the tax bill aimed for.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

As an (erstwhile) Eve player, most of your assessments ring true. I, too, was thinking "I'd love to see what this author would accomplish in Eve's sandbox!" :)

You sound like you've done quite a bit of reading, but in case you haven't seen it and for anyone else who is interested, this a great write-up of an economic scheme the Goons (players from the SomethingAwful forums) pulled off to the tune of ~4 trillion ISK (between $80k-$120k US at 2012 prices): https://forums-archive.eveonline.com/message/1512212/

A couple of thoughts I had on your comment:

>As far as I can tell, pure arb is hard to come by given all the fees and most mkt mkrs make money taking a combination of inventory, production and transport risk. now if Eve standardizes chartering freight...

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by pure arbitrage, but certainly it's impossible to buy something from a sell order and immediately turn around and sell it to a buy order in the same station for a profit (if someone tried to post a sell order with a price lower than the price of the highest buy order, the sale would immediately take place, filling the topmost buy order(s) automatically)

Transport risk wasn't very large for the regional trading I was doing. The player-run freighting groups have excellent coverage and reliability in high-sec, and because freight contracts use a collateral system, they were the ones shouldering the transport risk, not me. All I had to do was find goods selling in one trade hub for less than people were buying them for in another trade hub, buy up some, have them shipped, and put them up for sale. Of course, I was shouldering the inventory risk you mentioned, but my strategy was to invest as widely as I could and only keep a couple items of any given commodity in my hands at one time. This worked for the items I was selling (i.e. relatively small numbers of high-value and low-mass manufactured goods) but you'd definitely need a different approach for selling, say, minerals (huge amounts of low-value and high-mass raw materials).

Also, there are definitely ways to make transporting goods (even in dangerous space) nearly foolproof - if one is willing to put in the legwork. A lot of the loss of goods that occurs is due to player ignorance of game mechanics and/or laziness "well, I know I should [scout this gate|use an instadock bookmark|switch to my armor implants] but what are the odds of [bad thing] happening this one time and besides, it's almost downtime, I'll be fine." Of course I'm not complaining! This sort of thing keeps the prices high for the rest of us. :)
It is hard to tell from this article, but looking at the paper the key thing they were focusing on is the mechanism for the previously observed diurnal variation in amyloid beta. They do some modeling that they say suggests that the main factor allowing levels to decrease at night is reduced production rather than increased clearance. One implication of this is "Given that there are many approved therapies targeting sleep, the effect of sleep-inducing drugs on CSF Aβ should be tested in individuals with sleep disruption and promising candidates investigated in AD prevention trials."

French inefficiency used to be a joke in the US when I was a kid. Joke’s on us now I guess.
Yeah... no. Not all cities are equal - as the crime stats you just ignored show.

I just moved from Manhattan to Brooklyn - it's not the same as Manhattan, but I still feel safer in Brooklyn than in SF.

And you say "avoiding the tenderloin even during the day is common sense" - it's not the Bronx, it's in the middle of town. Make a left from a $400/night hotel room and you're standing next to human feces and needles.

That would be like if I told NYC visitors to "avoid midtown west in Manhattan, it's just common sense."

But you know what is interesting - you would've gotten that advice in NYC in 1985. Times Square wasn't safe. Now it's a shithole of a different variety - but a safe one.

SF doesn't need to be the way it is.

I think you misunderstand my point about 'hard skill'. When I say 'hard skill' I mean any kind of skill contributing to the product (by product I mean the actual product and working with the customer). Whether it's physical goods or providing some kind of service.

As for the point about farmers complaining programmers don't create 'physical' product that's a whole different discussion. That complaint is coming from someone who due to whatever constraint hasn't taken the time to understand, the nature of the software business.
Next big thing is finding out the non-algorithmic capabilities of the human mind, and how to best utilize human in the loop.
I think it comes down to control and trust. Right now advertisers can run all sorts of crazy stuff without reproach, they don't want to give that up. Having ads served by the first-party would also require the advertiser to trust them to report all data accurately.

Perhaps another reason is that you lose the ability to track users through third-party cookies?

In the latter case I think the best guess is it’s just fine; those hours are at the edge of normal but don’t sound extraordinary (ISTR 28-hour cycle is apparently quite common though I can’t find a ref this instant)

It seems pretty bad that a major western city has a completely no-go area right in the middle. Dismissing it as not a problem because it’s common sense to avoid a large area of the centre of the city doesn’t help the argument!

After the recent Firefox update I had to run without Noscript for a while, until it got updated. My laptop battery really took a hit. Loading web comics in 70 tabs or so took battery life estimates down to an hour. With Noscript running and blocking most advertising Javascript the estimate stays up at 3.5 hours.

It could do that. Or it might just give them a reason to do something else rather than hang out with other bored young men and potentially plan things.

It's also worth noting that the drop in crime has also happened in a bunch of countries around the same time.

Another thing that has happened at the same time is the rise of Hikikomori and others who stay at home with their parents and don't do a lot.

Now of course, there are phones in the hand of so many young people giving them a constant feed of engaging content. This no doubt hinders people's concentration but it also might, again, stop people comitting crimes.

It's kindof interesting that everything in your comment is true, and yet it's not clear that most of it is relevant in this case.

No one has introduced the standard of perfect pleasure here. The standard that has been introduced is one of both ability and ease in regards to what I'd think anyone would agree is a fundamental feature for a personal mobile device: getting audio to route from that device to common output devices or even arbitrary output devices.

If anyone thinks that standard is unreasonable or even not relevant to Apple's market, I'd be interested to hear about that.

As far as feature sets and tradeoffs go -- yeah, that's an argument that I find compelling in a lot of product discussions. But it really loses its power when we're talking about a feature that's been present in every. smartphone. ever. up until the iPhone 7 and non-Apple smartphones since. It's hard to take seriously the argument that keeping it just wasn't possible. Tradeoffs? Maybe. But good tradeoffs mean you gained something worth as much or more as what you traded away. I haven't come across any credible explanation of compelling features (let alone market-distinguishing features) the iPhone gained that required shedding the 1/8" audio jack. If you're in the know on this one, by all means, explain.

Overall, it seems more credible that maybe, just maybe, Apple underestimated the broad "just works" utility of the feature they removed here and actually got this one wrong. Or, possibly, "just works" wasn't a functioning value when it came to this decision.

I agree when you say 'They need to listen' but the ability to listen requires a lot of time and experience working in the trenches. How can someone sympathize with the people they are managing if they've never put themselves in other people's shoes on a day to day basis. How are they ever going to offer solutions to problems that crop up when they have minimal or no domain knowledge?

Most managers I talk to are all about the 'power' over people. When I meet them a a social gathering and ask them what they do the replies are usually along the lines of "I manage 5 people on a daily basis" or "I have 10 people under me". It just shows the mindset of these so called, manager so clearly.

Management is something of an art, don't get me wrong. It is a very important skill, what I'm saying is to be a good manager you need to have the 'hard skill' it's a prerequisite to being a good manager.

Increasing block size is the low hanging fruit for reducing tx fees.

It's a dead-simple idea. You increase the supply side of the fee market and users don't have to compete for transaction finality anymore. It has been implemented and we know it works.

Of course, that is only kicking the can down the road and has many caveats. It still has proven effective to complete its goal (minimize tx fees).

Lightning networks is a WIP that is months, perhaps years, away from hitting production. As such, I wouldn't call them the "main approach" to scaling except in the mind of core engineers. It might drive tx costs down, it might not, at this stage it is too early to tell for sure.

As such, I think OP is right. It is completely fair to say that block size increase is the "main" approach, as in the "the one that we know for sure works right now", to making Bitcoin usable as a payment system.

Now on a side note: I don't think you needed to be that aggressive with OP. I won't address the attacks on Roger Ver because it is my belief that attempts at turning a technical debate into politics should be met with contempt.
