Trust me, It made my blood boil too. I unfortunately let my anger get the best of me and ended up getting in an argument with an Apple engineer online where I said some things that I really regret.

But it did almost really fuck up my job, because we had promised a client that functionality, and like 2 weeks away from delivering had to back out and go with a fallback plan of staying up all night for many nights those 2 weeks coding something in cordova that would give me similar results.

It ultimately was my fault for not testing the feature in the correct way before committing to it, and it did turn out good for me (although it's far from ideal, having getUserMedia in WebViews is ideal, and I will be switching to it the second it's available and stable), but it was not a good time...

Depends on the person. I don't respond to material wealth, I would probably end up annoyed by their lifestyle more than anything else. Facebook and similar on other hand rubbed my lack of social skills wound so much I deleted it really long ago.
Not sure why this is grayed out, that’s what I couldn’t think of.
Everyone's Instagram feed is different and that's by design. Everyone curates differently for themselves. I don't think the point you're making is really that strong.

Media broadly is what you make of it. Turn on the TV and flip to CNN, I'm sure you'll be depressed within a couple minutes. At some basic level the burden of information curation rests on you - the human. You can't keep blaming CNN, Instagram, Facebook, Buzzfeed, etc etc ad infinitum.

At some point you have to step back and take the responsibility of information intake into your own hands.

That's not to say you don't have a valid point. You absolutely do have a valid point. But it's not as useful of a point as you're suggesting imo.
The problem is that Prop 65 excessively concentrates on the agent, whereas any time spent looking at toxicology will tell you that the agent is only a small part of what constitutes a medically meaningful exposure (route of exposure, cumulative dose, concentration, etc. -- the law addresses none of these except that some cancer-causing compound is present, whether or not it means anything in practice).

And since the law essentially absolves you if you issue such warnings and the warning is so ubiquitous as not to alarm people anymore, well, you might as well slap it on everything.
We may be able to draw a correlation with pre television era and an introduction to television — for cardiac rhythm and mindlessness entertainment effects among others.
Why was it allowed in the first place especially with free speech being so important and constitutionally protected in the US ?
I think you missed my point. Weren't timezones created so that the clock could "match" the sun? That's what I was objecting to. I agree with the people who say that a single earth time (something like UTC) would be much simpler. The Turkey argument seems to be that "if we don't turn our clocks, we'll be working in darkness", and this is what makes no sense to me: why can't we just change the TIME of a workday, instead of changing our whole TIMEZONE?
If you really do look down on your old friends and acquaintances like that (so that you see their posts as all about being poorer and less articulate than you), then you're probably the one making posts that depress them.

Imagine yourself as if you went to highschool in the society where you now work (so that now, the people you used to know are twice as educated and lots of them are far more wealthy), or perhaps imagine what it would be like to have stayed in your old town while someone else went to SV!

While “correlation is not causation” is a tired refrain, I agree that default skepticism is the generally appropriate response. There are peer reviewed scientific studies showing essentially everything and anything you could want to believe. Relatively few hold up to scrutiny or repeat experiments.

There is undoubtedly an opposing study that shows increased screen time correlates to happiness.
Your comment feels like cynical contrarianism. Just because everyone says social media is bad doesn't mean its not. The observed increase in suicide rates among teens is real and this study presents evidence that social media might explain this rise including careful controls for other factors. Is this study the end of the story on social media? Of course not, but it shows that there is some there there.
It's some quirk of how the US handles painkiller prescriptions right? Or something like that. Most opioid addicts in the USA got addicted via their doctor's prescriptions, if I recall correctly.

I found the article to be interesting but the weakest part by far was where he mentioned declining life expectancy as to do with the lack of public health care, and thus unique the USA except for the UK. But wait, the UK has an entirely nationalised healthcare system, it's the literal opposite of the USA. So if the UK is seeing the same thing, that suggests it can't be due to the funding mechanism used. It's more likely that we've hit some sort of life expectancy peak in the most highly developed western nations and if the UK and USA go first, it's very likely that other countries aren't far behind.
>but theaters control the end product, so I doubt they'd share revenue. They're more likely to compete against MoviePass if the plan works.

This seems the most likely to me; I mean, if I were to buy a ticket subscription, I'd want that at the theaters that I go to often; I am happy to pay full price when I go somewhere unusual.

This means there's almost no network effect... my favorite theater could put up a subscription service that only worked at that one location, and it would instantly have more value than MoviePass that might or might not include access to that theater next month. Even better would be a regional service, but in this case, at least on the customer end, I don't think making the service national adds very much value at all.

The money that’s backing the Tethers. As an example - you deposit 1mm USD with Bitfinex, and they give you 1mm Tethers. Bitfinex invests your 1mm USD every night at overnight Libor, earning interest each day they do so. When someone (you?) wants to redeem the 1mm Tethers, Bitfinex gives them the 1mm USD, but keeps the interest it earned. You question is a good one, though - why would people ever pledge USD to create Tethers in the first place, given that treasuries have a higher (non-zero!) return? One example: if your 1mm USD came from a criminal enterprise, then you couldn’t deposit it at a brokerage and buy treasuries (due to KYC rules, etc).

LinkedIn is like baseball cards when I was a kid.

There’s two metrics for dick-measuring contests, size of network and quality of network. Linkedin is there to show, yeah I’m a badass who got the <insert big shot here> to link to me, or look at me, I have lots of cards.

There is some actual stuff happening there, but the bread and circus that brings the crowd are those two metrics.

I mean, the cigarette people for example have done much worse for much longer. Not all humans are humanists. That's why governments need to regulate what is legal and what is not, like they did in many jurisdictions with cigarettes.
>I live in a world where most people I spend time interacting with are smarter and wealthier and more successful than I am on several other axes

Maybe this is a relatively rare situation. I'd assume for most people, their FB life and "real" life social spheres coincide quite much.

(And because I love speculating, maybe you are the odd one out in your FB circles, the cool successful hacker living in SV and who interacts daily with the super-smart-super-wealthy people, not stuck in a life situation where "posting racist memes with spelling mistakes" is sensible use of their time.)
>How do you get similar coverage in shorter time? Keep doing it. In a few years it will be second nature, and you'll stop seeing it as a separate activity, but a natural part of feature development.

Strong, persistent correlation between A and B generally implies that it's one of three scenarios: A->B, B->A, or C->A + C->B.

In cases where it's not possible to do proper experiments to explicitly test A->B hypothesis, you'd say that correlation implies causation in the (not that rare) scenario where you have strong reasons to believe that B->A is not possible (e.g. the increase in teen suicides IMHO did not cause the increase in screen time) and you have thoroughly went through all the plausible confounders (C's) and have argumentation/evidence why that's not the case. In that case it's still not solid proof, but it's certainly a good implication and worth considering as likely true until further analysis or evidence.
Not all migraine sufferers are the same. I have suffered from fairly regular migraine headaches for about twenty years (can't believe it's been that long!) and sometimes taking something like 200mg of ibuprofen when you first feel it can result in the progress of the headache being 'arrested' at that stage and though it still lasts as long as a normal headache before it passes, sometimes it manages to stop it from fully blooming.

However, even within my own experience, only ~1/4 of my headaches respond this way. I've taken other medications as well, and the majority of my migraines don't respond to anything other than trying to soothe the symptoms :/ In the majority of cases ~3/4 of the time, there's nothing you can do to stop it, you just have to dig yourself in and get to a quiet dark place for a few hours until it passes.
I think the GMO labeling problem is related, but separate. To date, no one has ever proven that GMO foods are somehow unsafe, much like the flap over rBST in milk, for which products proclaiming they are rBST free have in small print that no difference between rBST cow milk and non-rBST cow milk has ever been demonstrated. With both GMO and rBST, there's possibly a food quality issue, but not a food safety issue.

Proposition 65, however, actually claims that there's a safety issue. And, to be sure, the chemicals on the list are indeed legitimately unsafe; it's just that the context and the probable dosage or actual level of exposure in many cases makes them largely irrelevant.
I guess there are some factors that helps in this particular case. These are large container ships, the schedule is known very long in advance (the trips themselves take a long time too). After the initial hit the ships would have plenty of time to prepare before hitting port. Not trying to diminish the effort though! It is hard to imagine how they managed to hold everything together.

As mentioned in the embedded clip, it has the potential to get much worse in the future where even the boats are completely autonomous.

Also mentioned was that 90% of the orders came from internet, so 10% is not? Surprised me a little. Got the feeling that they have lots of manual paperwork even for internet orders, which probably helped a lot.
This is the wrong question.

The question should be is their a compelling reason to make it Rx Only, and people that support making it Prescription only have the requirement to provide evidence to support making it RX only.

The fact that is "addictive" is also not enough IMO
Sounds like you guys are way more in touch with this than we were. I guess it could make sense with how fast information gets around. When I was 13 the only way I would get this information would be through newspaper or TV news, which I didn't have time for.. I was playing hockey with my friends and playing video games if our parents didn't kick us outside.

I regret saying too abstract, I intended more to say this stuff was too far into the future that it would really worry me. I figured we were smart enough that by the time I got older we'd figure out a way to make life easier for everyone.

Maybe I was just dumb!
Mobile Bay is fairly shallow, especially around the I-10 Causeway just south of this location. So, that makes perfect sense.

Pensacola Bay to east is a much better natural deep water port, but the Alabama River made Mobile much more attractive for shipping goods inland.

In the US, speech cannot be punished by the government. The constitution says nothing about private entities or contracts that limit speech.
I’ve also wondered, because it’s really helpful. I always prefer to read the original study and author’s own analysis, caveats etc.
I disagree, having studied this topic for more than a decade most of the current epidemic problems, including the death toll can be more accurately attributed to prohibitionist policies as the "War on Drugs" than to any legal availability.

On the topic of Society in General, the US War on Drugs has lead to an inordinate amount of abuse, loss of freedom, and the elimination or reduction of most constitutional protection.

Depends on who and what you're following, I guess. Being a male in my mid- to late-30s I don't use Instagram for social purposes, as I don't have any personal photo of mine in there, I'm just using it to post architecture-related photos (mostly photos of communist brutalist buildings built in my city in the 1960s and 1970s) and to follow people interested in very similar things. For purposes like this one is quite an interesting medium.
It still affects them - what if their parents (or parent, single) can't afford to move them into a decent school district, for example?
The problem with that is that the guest is in a very nast power balence. The organization has more resources to defend it's self, the the individual has to cover the cost to sue. Often times it's just suggested to setle.
>If you’re underprescribed opioid painkillers, you just feel temporary pain (or not, since non-opioid painkillers exist).

Without taking a political stance on regulated pain killers, I'd like to point out that the concept of 'temporary pain' is largely a myth. There has been much work done (mostly with chronic pain sufferers) to show that pain (and more generally over-excitation of nerves) can cause permanent nervous system damage, brain chemistry changes, and CNS rewiring/plasticity-like changes.

Much of this research originated from the correlation between chronic pain sufferers and un-treatable (or difficult to treat) depression.

I use a SanDisk Ultra Fit 128 GB ... As I am using it only occasionaly I did not do any benchmarks. However I would say it is fast enough to use it on a day to day basis. My colleague uses the same stick with his Lenovo machine and records and cuts 4 hours of podcasts every week. We are both very happy with our solution and like the idea of „pulling windows out“ of our machines.

Right, absolutely. That's a different claim from the GP comment, and a reasonable one. The authors noted that the symptoms were independent of economic indicators. Now obviously this study is an initial result, and thus fairly preliminary (if you believe any effect in social science after a single study, you haven't been paying attention). But it's not like this is a rebuttal of the study's claims.

Yeah, fake or not, you can definitely use ML to optimize user acquisition, to find ways to increase per user spending, to find the people most likely become spending users, to cause addiction, etc, to break people's lives.

All of these things are numerical metrics that are reasonably easy to optimize for (nothing like, complicated things like generating context appropriate speech, for which it is really hard to find an accurate metric for), and you just need to give the model as much data from as many good features as possible, and it'll end up spitting out something that works for sure
No, they're leasing space in it. I once read that Peter Ackworth owns the Armory personally, and just leased it to his company, Kink.com.
Considering the context. It's incredibly rational. The hotel used their legal department to put that language in the contract, and to follow up on it. There are much more efficent ways to handle bad publicity.

> Which one is easier? To arrange all businesses and public institutions to change working times so they can continue do business for the first and last hour or have a central authority that does it for you?

I too think that having a central authority do this would be easier, but I don't see why this means we need DST? To me, it seems far simpler to just have the central authority dictate (for example) a +1h start to work/schooldays in the summer. No need to turn clocks.
>> The original anecdote is that there were very few IKEA items in a store for recycled goods. The point you seem to be ignoring is tjoff's comment that IKEA products are so good that you can resell them and don't have to resort to donating them.

That doesn't make any sense to me. Overall lifespan of the product is short - doesn't matter how many hands it changes!
Eventually more IKEA products end up in the landfill. Think about it from a macro perspective.

Let's take an exemple:

- A coffee table that lasts 3 years from Ikea that has had 10 owners

- A coffee table that lasts 20 years from Room & Board that also has had 10 owners

Which one do you think is going to end up in the landfill faster? Doesn't matter if its resellability is high? At some point, it will fail and end up in the landfill.
Yes, preparing for _college_ and _finding a job_. The details of how you're going to pay your day to day are far hazier, as are things like "the gig economy" and retirement.

> since nobody in the US is willing to prescribe opioids any more

Since when? I was given opioids when my wisdom teeth were pulled a year ago, far more than I needed.

From what I understand, opiate prescriptions are down, but only by 10-20% or so.
