I’ve taken LSD maybe 100 times and the side effects can include paranoia, confusion (I’ve thought I was in a different century), gross distortion of time, seemingly “profound” revelations, loss of ego/self confidence and of course hallucinations, many of which are similar to people suffering a psychotic break.

My friend who had a psychotic break likened it to an LSD experience.

Of course I’m only listing negative effects here, it’s not all bad, please don’t get that impression. It can be transformative and a positive experience.
Ads aren't just about click-throughs though. If someone is scrolling endlessly and seeing adverts every few minutes, that's still influencing them. Possibly more so because they're in a comfortable cycle of absorbing snippets of information, and don't appraise it critically.

Good on you for putting yourself out there and putting in the work to improve your English. It sucks that feedback is so harsh.

Your English is understandable, but still recognizable as written by someone who's learning. Your next major challenges will likely be a) learning tenses other than the present tense; b) understanding what prepositions to use in what context; and c) understanding where to use singular vs plural nouns.

You shouldn't feel bad about not having internalized those points yet. The present tense is always the first tense a language learner encounters. And even as a native speaker I'd be hard-pressed to articulate clear rules for B and C. IMO the best way to learn those things is to read a lot that you're confident has been written or copy-edited by native speakers. For instance, articles in the NY Times or the New Yorker are edited to meet a high grammatical standard.

Are you looking for direct feedback on your writing? Here's how a native speaker would write the first paragraph of the linked article:

Writing has been one of my hobbies since I was in high school. But writing an English story is still a bit new to me. I started writing English articles/stories a year ago.

Another way to phrase that last sentence might be:

Or:

I wrote my first English article/story a year ago.

Understanding the sun's variability and climate effect
Very good example and motivation for dependent types.

However, I think it makes strange assumptions on its readership. For example:

> If you’re a non-Haskell programmer, this might all seem perfectly fine and normal, and you probably have only a slightly elevated heart rate. If you are a Haskell programmer, you are most likely already having heart attacks.

Well, for a non-Haskell programmer, the Haskell code snippets make very few sense, simply because they are not used to the syntax. And those non-Haskell programmers who are used to the ML-syntax are programming in SML, OCaml or F#, which all have a similar type system to Haskell's, and hence do get "elevated heart rate".

If this article is really meant to be readable by non-Haskell programmers, the example code snippets should also be provided in a more mainstream language with static types, such as C++, Java or perhaps JavaScript+TypeScript.
Bearing in mind that accommodation is quite frequently the single largest outgoing in many people's finances (i.e. commonly approx. 30% of income), do you really think that the cost of medical treatment should exceed this? Do you really think that medical treatment should be an individual's single largest outgoing cost?

As for giving money to scientists/doctors/researchers, that isn't really the case either. See [1] - the cost of prescription medication appears to be largely determined by "what the market will bear", rather than how much a drug costs to research and develop.

I've done this for probably 20 years now, but I just call it "I don't eat breakfast."

Now I have a cool name for it though. Thanks!

It seems to make sense: first, American breakfast is essentially a giant dessert, optionally with a pile of fat on top, so it doesn't seem particularly healthy.

But mostly, eating in the morning seems to get my body thinking about food, so I'm actually hungry for lunch a lot earlier than if I had skipped it. Normal days I eat lunch around 1pm if I remember. "Breakfast" days, I'm starving at 11:30am.

I never realised I got to describe myself as "fasting" though.
Yes indeed, a pity. The "export worthy" Cavendish is not considered worthy in local markets though.

I suppose it's a sort of shallow reference to keeping a child locked up in a tower away from the world. Not sure it's a great comparison since the woman raising Rapunzel disowns her when she discovers she's been sleeping with a prince, and blinds him. But they find each other by her voice, her tears heal his eyes, and he takes her back to his kingdom. So I guess the moral is if you keep your innocent child locked away from the world the only people who will make an effort to find them are gallant princes.
That's why I wrote I am not that exposed anymore as I pay for what I see and don't visit that many websites.

It's better to just assign it at the closest to user facing level first and then let teams pass it down to their part's dependencies as and when it's required.

There are often bugs which could be fixed in different systems by different teams and by assigning it directly to one team without the communication involved in passing it down it could end up being 'fixed' in an architecturally damaging way.

A good friend killed himself after his doctors put him on meds. We will never know what really happened but it turns out that lots of psychiatric medications first become "effective" in the "drive" department rather than lighten depression syndromes. Not a good dynamic at all when you are already in a suicidal state.

Not saying these meds don't work, they actually might work "too well" in some ways and that surveillance of and constant checking-in with patients is very important especially at the beginning and during periods after stopping treatment.

It's clear that you and I simply have very different world views. You use the term "has to" in talking about what I believe is a pathological need to dominate every other country everywhere. I favor a far more coalitional approach where we don't have to lead nearly as often as we do now. I'd prefer our defense department focus more on actually defending us rather than defending US corporate interests overseas.

> Unless you have a viable plan for reducing that waste

Yep. It's the same plan that works so well for dealing with type-II diabetes. You cut back significantly, funding rather than calories, and force the military to economize. The reason you get waste is a lack of accountability and consequences for overspending. Forcing the military to cut everything non-essential and then keep cutting the cost of the essential until they're spending no more than the next-largest military will force the tough decisions to be made. When you always say yes to military appropriations, those tough decisions are never forced.

The US military is an obese, lumbering 600lb gorilla. It needs to go on a diet to become a svelte, agile and precise tool of last resort. As a bonus, that would either come with tax cuts, national debt reduction or the prolonged life of Social Security. All three of those are, in my view, far superior ways to spend money.
Not everyone who is capable of becoming an engineer sees it as something they actually want to spend their lives doing but the skills children develop with toys like Technic are still valuable and have applications beyond just engineering.
> but I'm not aware of a general way of proving no information leakage.

As I understand it, the current consensus is to use a tagged architecture, then show that there are no observable differences when the tags involve secret data and the value of the tagged data changes.

There are a few rubs here. One is that this is pretty hard to do. The other is that no one wants to pay the overhead of using a tagged architecture. Yet another is that deciding what "observable difference" means is challenging (too little, and you probably miss attacks, too much, and you will probably discover information leaks).

Further, this kind of rigorous system hasn't been rigorously empirically evaluated by a third party (as far as I know, perhaps in part because it's so hard to create these systems). "Empirically evaluated?" you scoff, "there's a proof, what's the point of testing?" Well...

For a glimpse of what this looks like, consider the SAFE architecture: http://www.crash-safe.org/assets/verified-ifc-long-draft-201... and lowRISC: http://www.lowrisc.org/downloads/lowRISC-memo-2014-001.pdf
From the description, it sounds like you are not taking the difference in frequency between words into account. I think you might be able to improve the average number of choices by splitting at the median position, such that the correct word is equally likely to be before or after it in the dictionary.

Edit: You could also combine that with a language model to condition the probability of words on the preceding context, similar to how a phone keyboard recommends completions. Maybe the gains aren't big when you're still limited to selection by dictionary order, but it might be worth trying out.

Not really. That's one of those things they've been dropping from the curriculum. Where it is taught, half the time it isn't mandatory and is often unhelpful.

I personally had 9 weeks of combined sewing and cooking, that really taught me nothing. (My sister got a lowered grade for not following the recipe exactly). I was lucky - I had already been cooking for a few years by then because I liked it. Had that been my only introduction to cooking, though, I'd not be very functional as a new adult.

My "financial" education happened in 8th grade - age 13, when you can't rent an apartment until 18 most times. This consisted of a car salesman teaching us about loans and interest and tax forms... giving us extra credit if our parents looked at a car. Even more credit if they bought one.

That said, most high schools have some sort of child development classes as an optional class. If you are interested in stem classes or otherwise on a college-bound path, you might not be offered such classes or be able to fit them into your class schedule. High school cooking, if even offered, generally focused on job placement where I lived.
I can't believe I just wasted 5 minutes of my life on this "story".

Interesting. My thinking would be more along the lines of "you can still learn to be resourceful when you're 30, but the finger is gone for good". Of course I'm aware it's not easy to rewire your brain. Plus, you know, not everything is as disposable as a finger.

First and foremost, cash balances at coinbase are FDIC insured.[1] There are regulatory requirements for cash on hand because of this. In the worst case, the FDIC should step in and fork over the cash that people are trying to withdraw.

Secondly, the drop in price of crypto shouldn't cause something like this. Coinbase is a marketplace. When one person sells their cyrpto for fiat another person is trading their fiat for crypto. When someone is going to withdraw money this transaction has already taken place.

>Get off the internet and stop leeching content. If you're not paying for it, you get to see ads.

Ad-blocking isn't "leeching" content. Users have always had the ability and the right to filter web responses, it's not like television where the broadcast is one signal and the viewer has to take it or leave it, that's not how the web was ever intended to work. If sites send content along with advertising, then they have to accept that their advertising can be filtered out at will, and their content read for free.
The question is how different the two political systems are, if they're both constantly spying on their population, and nobody can really do anything about it in either case.

When reading interviews like this I often fall into the mental trap of thinking: "if I do everything like this guy, I'll be just as successful!"
Of course, this is not true. To become hugely successful, one must in the right place at the right time and do the right thing. A large part of it is luck (or so I like telling myself), so "advice" from very successful people is just like a lottery winner's advice on how to choose the numbers.
I didn't read this closely, but are those dependent types or just type-level integer literals? Can you use variables and/or arithmetic operations on the type index? If you can't instantiate the type with non-literals, then these aren't dependent types. Dependent types are types that depend on (i.e., the type constructors are functions of) actual values of the language, not types that are parameterized by other types (even if the syntax allows naming a type '42', which just looks like a value).

Hah, hah, a sign of the times. That's the last thing I'd want to injest when in the throws of a deep, harrowing LSD trip, yuck.

Really the only thing that "helps", I find, is a watch (if you're able to read the watch that is). Time can help ground you in the sense that you know roughly when the peak will occur, so if you're already overwhelmed 2 hours in, that means "only" 2-4 hours before you're over the hump ;-)

Taking LSD is very much continually answering the question, "here, ultimate (un)reality, isn't that what you asked for?", with "Yes". Easier said than done when you're in the thick of it...

Mate of mine from years ago (we've lost touch), once told me that the system he built to scan blood samples and used by lab techs all over the UK had some very interesting error messages he put in there.

He got a call one day from a customer who told him the error message read "Fuckity, fuckity, fuck, everything's about to get stuck". His response on the phone was "Well, the good news is I know exactly where the error is..."

It was in a loop you shouldn't be able to get into and so his defence was that this error was "impossible".
Children have little of either privacy or liberty because they are still in the process of learning how best to utilize their privacy and liberty under the guidance of a parent.
