I suspect that valproate works by increasing BDNF levels. Exercise also increases BDNF levels, and a diet high in fermentable fiber has been linked to increases in BDNF as well, through increased short chain fatty acid production. It is worth mentioning that valproic acid is just a branched-chain short chain fatty acid, so it is likely that many of its effects are similar to those from short chain fatty acids derived via dietary fiber fermentation.
I favor this quantum interpretation a bit for very similar reasons to that. Relativity already tore away our ideas about time being a single steady march forward in an independent fourth dimension, which was a big step. Similarly, I don't consider this "retrocausality"; I consider it a sign that time works differently than we thought yet again, and in fact all qubits and their interactions are probably actually moving forward in time, in what is arguably the most real sense of "time". However, in that view, time is shaped very, very funny relative to what we humans would consider "time", because that means that a photon in the cosmic background radiation emitted that many billions of years ago that hits one of our instruments is still a single atomic event.

I consider this view supported by relativity where, as you mention, technically a photon is an atomic event from its own point of view. There isn't any before or after in its own frame of reference.

What we call time would then be a secondary phenomenon on top of this much more complicated (from our point of view) time organization of the universe. (However, I reject the idea that that makes "our" time an illusion, or some BS like that. Our human conception of time is perfectly real. It just may not be fundamental. But even if we discover that "real time" is something like what I'm hypothesizing here, human time will still be as real as ever.)

What is not clear to me is whether or not this could be set up in a reasonable manner. It's on my long list of things I'd love to have time to try my hand at. It's feasible, you just need to start with maybe a 5 or 6 qubit system that interacts in this "real time" manner in the counterintuitive "retrocausal" manner, but for which there is a point of view in which it all happens forward in this "real time" metric. You don't have to simulate an entire universe to show this is a feasible idea, if you can establish it at that scale, it is merely a matter of extreme complication to assume the universe could work that way.

There's also an interesting implication for the "deistic" point of view. If this is how quantum mechanics "really works" then it becomes relatively easy to imagine that the Great Simulator is simulating the universe, but actually has little to no power to influence it, because from his point of view during the computation the entire universe is a tangled mess of everything essentially happening at once (from our point of view). The only thing the Great Simulator might be able to do is examine the final state of the universe after it has finished computing, at which point the entire history of the universe would be open to him, but to affect the state of the universe would be wildly more computationally expensive than the simulation itself, because any attempt to insert or modify even a single qubit's worth of change would essentially require the entire thing to be recalculated again as the changes propagate in (from our point of view) all the way forward and backwards in time again. Depending on the nature of "true time", though, it might be possible, depending on exactly how it ends up working.

AppSumo.com not honoring lifetime deal and deleting reactions in Facebook group
here is full context - https://imgur.com/a/aP9ZZ

I am interested if people here think this is okay or not.

In short, they sold lifetime license for their own product (KingSumo) that functioned as Wordpress plugin and recently remade it into a SaaS. We were informed on email to give new version of KingSumo a try. I couldn't login and was then informed I have to pay for it because it is separate from the wordpress version that I paid for.

I posted about it in their facebook group, which caused uproar from all buyers, but eventually they shut it down and any new post I make gets deleted immediately.

What do you think of this? Is it too much to expect the $49 or $149 licenses to apply to $8/mo new version?

Someone else wrote this: (which feels to me like it makes sense)
"Now, we have invested in a plugin, they took our money and converted it into a SaaS model. That does not feel ok. The plans for this must have been known 3 months ago, when you sold the plugin version. It simply makes the lifetime deal from last November feels like a type of crowdfunding to get funds for the new version…"

True, but it seems unlikely that there's a fundamental reason why unbuffered should have a higher manufacturing cost. It seems to just be an accident of history. Thus,
maccam94's point still stands.
Pretty much every time someone complains about the whole correlation != causation thing, it's a huge red flag that they didn't read the actual research or have no experience in academic research. It's easily accounted for and is the lowest hanging methodological fruit, and pretty much is always addressed when actually appropriate. It's an undergrad stats thing, and I know for my degree I had to have at least a year of graduate level stats, and the same for undergrad.
I have a friend who's been a programmer at Apple for 30 years.
More like code usually required extra documentation explaining it in a higher level language, but nowadays we just write the program on that higher level language so this extra documentation has gone away.
I remember how our Sun representatives would go to almost any length to avoid admitting a hardware problem. Instead they tried to blame the problems on cosmic rays or the fact that the servers wasn't running in an environment with a very narrow temperature and air humidity window.

Funny how they wouldn't admit to a hardware problem but still had data that showed that the problems were less likely to surface if the temperature and humidity was X and Y..

All true but as someone who lives in Santa Cruz, the home of CrossFit, I will say there is a strong subjective correlation between fitness douchebags and CrossFit. To paraphrase Bill Maher, it's not that all CrossFit people are douchebags, it's that most of the douchebags I meet in the gym are doing CrossFit routines requiring them to alternate between 2 or 3 machines in a precise rhythm which we should not interrupt for any reason or there will be horrible consequences.

The best example here was this body beautiful couple that never smiled in the gym for any reason whatsoever. When they wanted your machine, they would each man the machines on either side of you with very low weight and sit there slowly pumping reps on it whilst glaring at you to try and get you to give the machine to them. After a few instances of this, I responded by slowing down my routine and throwing in extra exercises just to mess with them because this was hella annoying. They could have just asked me when I would be done, which would have been in about 2 or 3 minutes, but apparently forming words was too much work for them so it became an eternity of 5 minutes instead.

When my membership expired, I left that gym and never returned.

>The decline in pesticide suicides during this same period was larger than for overall suicides: from 8.5 to 4.2 per 100,000, a 50% reduction

The way they picked these statistics just seems self serving to their thesis. Another way of looking at the same numbers is that the drop in pesticide suicides accounted for only 10.75% of the total drop in suicides.

The fact that this study focuses only on the immediate tool used to kill oneself rather than the plethora of long term contributing social factors that lead up to a suicide shows a willful ignorance of the root problems.
Exactly. It's cathartic!
Nature is basically the most prestigious scientific journal, along side Science. Getting a pub in either of those journals is considered a huge win.
The problem with this argument is that it is a false choice. We do not need to choose between fixing our planet and expanding into space. There are seven billion of us, and collectively we’re not that bad at multitasking.

Furthermore, it is a straw man, because nobody actually believes that we should give up on Earth. You cited a number of headlines attributing this position to people like Elon Musk and Steven Hawking, when a quick reading of their actual quotes shows that they do not actually say what the headlines claim (Musk also runs a clean energy company for Pete’s sake—doesn’t sound like he wants to give up on Earth). I really want to believe that you wrote your article in good faith, but that means I must believe you did not read the articles you linked as evidence.

It's not super fast, but it's not really slow. A single web server doing 50 req/s, and they pushed that up to 100 req/s. The limit is somewhere around 75.
It would probably help if you read the research. That's the lowest hanging fruit, I guarantee you any published paper (in a real journal, as this one was) handles that in one way or another - e.g. there are ways to give evidence for causality or a causal relationship.

I've had the opposite experience - once I learn something like a language, I never forget it. But people around me do, and I think it's as strange as forgetting your own name or who your family was. On the other hand, I'm mystified by how efficient "normal" people's memory for places and directions is. It takes me hours of studying a map and many repetitions of practice to learn a new route, and if I don't go a certain way (even to get to my own house or in the neighborhood I grew up in) it fades just like people describe losing language. So it's like those two capabilities are exchanged in my brain.

My best friend and I took 2-3 years of German in high school, and we'd talk to each other using the German we learned. We also knew two German exchange students. In academic meets (test taking competitions) I placed in German II and my friend placed in German I.

Unfortunately we had no one to speak German with after graduating high school. In all the time after high school, I only ran into one native German speaker, at some conference. I said something like, "Ja, Ich spreche ein bischen Deutsch..." and based on my accent he said, "Oh? You've been to Germany then." I shook my head, sadly no I've never been.

Years later I saw my friend again and spoke some German to him, and he didn't understand me. So I used German phrases I remembered had been his "favorites", and I was shocked he even forgot those too. It felt like I was one of the Lost Boys in the movie "Hook" trying to get Peter Banning to remember he was Pan.

>Assuming (as they have to) that the situation in Sri Lanka is the same or similar as with toxic pesticides, the only thing they achieved is make escaping that shitty situation harder, not making the lives better, by effectively reducing suicidal thoughts. The point they are trying to make that suicide is a spontaneuous/irrational decision hardly counts in a statistic like that.

How does it not??? If the suicide is a decision made under the influence of a 30-minute-long depressive episode, and outside that episode the person would prefer to live, how is preventing the suicidies by making them harder to perform spontaneously not making people's lives better? Why does it 'hardly count'?

So you just repeated my points, but worse. For example, it is not true that the customers are paying for all of the advertising. The way to determine what customers are paying for is to see how the world with advertiising compares with the world without advertising, and there's many possibilities. A) with advertising the company revenues are higher by the same amount on a per-unit basis (companies pass all cost to consumers), B) with advertising company costs are higher by the same amount on a per-unit basis (meaning the companies pass all cost to shareholders in the form of lower margins and lower return on equity, or related metric), C) something in between. So it's not true that necessarily customers are paying for all of the advertising.
Or if the method is less immediately available, they may not try at all, as the longer consideration time is enough to realise they don't actually want to die.

As they say:

> Leah Utyasheva: Exactly. The research shows that it is in majority of cases with pesticide self poisoning, it is an impulsive event, and people think for less than 30 minutes before actually poisoning themselves, less than 30 minutes. And this of course, is a life altering event. And the other thing is that apart from low planning, it is also low repetition event. Less than 10% of people who tried killing themselves will go on to try to do it again.

>You already memorize similiar syntax things for other languages.

Yes, and cryptic configuration settings and syntax causes obscure, hard to track down bugs in other languages too. Welcome to programming. I am not saying it isn't a problem elsewhere. I'm saying that if a competing build system manages to do the same things in a less cryptic way then that's a strong point in its favor.

Essentially make is a fully fledged stringly typed programming language - it's got conditionals, loops, variables, etc. It just wasn't a fully fledged turing complete programming language that had a lot of thought put in to syntax, usability and readability. By contrast, there are many languages which actually did have a lot of thought put in to those things.

Btw, stringly typed is not commonly considered a 'good' thing.

>Stop being lazy and read the manual.

To be fair, I can find information about these things.... stack overflow has information on them.

I see a lot of companies drawing that conclusion from such premise (and you're using C, which really decreases the odds that my data is really safe).

That's the problem with make and why there are so many build systems built on top of it. Make alone isn't enough.
