> but most of the passengers are just weirdos who enjoy wasting their time taking the train cross-country in 2018 (like me).

If you waste time while you're travelling with public transport you're doing it wrong. For example, something like an e-reader is pretty thin and weights a few hundred grams and can hold thousands of books. Noisy? I bought half decent earplugs the other day for just 12 EUR. All you gotta do is take them with you. But you'd do that in an airplane as well. Add to that, airplanes are terrible for the environment; trains are less bad.
worst case scenario is that the browser has to request it from the server. This is bad because the execution would have to stop and wait, but for most cases it would just be for a few milliseconds. And the developer should take that into account and maybe prep the cache for possible paths.

I think there are so many point of views here. I'm not going to defend Google nor Microsoft, but imagine you're paid by Google to work on security issues. What would be the metric to prove your existence, if there is no public awareness of your work, like this zdnet article? Project Zero IMO from time to time need to show they exists and doing great job. I think that could be one of reasons, why they resists to prolong standard 90 day period.

If I hadn't taken LSD, I never would've started my recovery from alcohol. Nothing in my life is as valuable to me as my sobriety is and has been, and I don't see myself ever making the painstaking effort to get sober without that trip.

I don't want to turn this thread into a trip report, however I will share that my trip led my thoughts to my last actions, some bad decisions and some bad habits I had formed.

Real talk, I tripped my nuts off. Obviously.

But the real impact was during the several days after that, nothing seemed to be the same, every little detail seemed laced with a new tinge of awareness, and the drinking I was doing at the time suddenly revealed itself to me as incredibly dangerous and unhealthy.

Now, LSD didn't work my program for me. It didn't get me sober, it didn't stop my cravings, it didn't bring my family back or apologize to previous employers or pay my tickets or talk to my mentors or any of that. It's not a wonder drug by any means. I'm definitely no expert, but I think hailing lsd in particular could have bad consequences for certain people. A trip can go south sometimes if you're not meticulous and exerting some fortitude against your emotions during the trip.

Also, who says I'm a better person? That's a hard thing to measure. I've done a lot of awful things in my drunk past. Choosing better behavior doesn't make the consequences of those things go away. Understanding who you are and who you were doesn't magically wipe the slate clean for the old you. And that's humbling, to go back and clean up all those messes and face those people with the new knowledge and growth, but on behalf of the toxic person I was.

Anyways, LSD definitely changed my life for the better. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Honestly, most people would say I AM a better person now. But to claim that as the effect of LSD is crazy. For people just wanting to justify their psychedelic adventuring, give up on it. If you like to trip just for fun, just accept it and do it. Be glad you're not hurting yourself!
It's one of the points of view, not saying the most significant one.
I think it could be looked at another way also. What amount of potential earnings did they lose out on over the course of several years because the public are now aware they are potentially a dishonest (at least extremely careless) company to be avoided?

Reddit has a tendency to gain so much momentum that companies can't ignore people that are having problems like this. In that case, you often see a rep from the company log in and start triageing the situation.

Don here is clearly much more on top of the situation than that, but my point is that any big social site ends up seeing this with enough outrage.
I agree with tkubacki, touchpads on macbooks are a primary reason for wanting a mac.

For me the most important is the basic function of putting the cursor where I want it. It's hard to explain, but on other laptops I always struggle with it either being to slow or to fast, general responsiveness or just the miniature size. Apple touchpads for me are a "it just works™". I barely use multigesture, but they work as expected as well. Also for me the force touchpads are blissful, you can just 'click' by pressing anywhere and you get haptic feedback indistinguishable from a hardware click (I loathe tap-click touchpads btw, they always click when I don't want to).
Does it? I wouldn't know how to tell it that much.
Rather than being a hard limit imposed by a physical pile of rare metal (which it was in the U.S. until 1971), fiat currency is instead tied to the trust level of the government issuing it.

This means that theoretically, yes, the folks in charge of your country could expend tremendous effort filling up warehouses with printed cash (or bank accounts with billions of 'fresh' digital dollars) if they wanted.

However, there are innumerable practical limits on such behavior:

Any country that suddenly declared it had more money than all the others combined and was now buying up all the available land on the planet would find themselves in a heap of trouble. Trust still has to be earned & maintained, and this involves continuous demonstrations that no one is 'cheating'. Localized experiments by playing with 'created' money (responsibly) are fine, however, and through this aspect, fiat currencies provide very useful flexibility which is now essential to modern life.

If the government just gave everyone a million dollars, the purchasing power of that money would quickly disappear as purveyors of the most popularly sought limited resources raised prices to meet demand. This is inflation. Eventually most people's extra million dollars would be spent, and almost no one could afford the items with jacked up prices any longer. In turn, those prices would fall back down to - once again - meet demand (deflation). Sellers need buyers and vice versa. Money would change hands, there would be winners and losers, and it would be hugely disruptive-- but eventually life would return to normal for 99% of folks and it would pretty much be like it never happened.

Yes. I know someone whose parents being very uncooperative is what made me think of this. My conspiracy theory is that politicians use these qualifiers to turn us into vote banks.
Found the reason, sigh: "After thorough deliberation, we're announcing that we're about to drop the ffserver program from the project starting with the next release. ffserver has been a problematic program to maintain due to its use of internal APIs, which complicated the recent cleanups to the libavformat library, and block further cleanups and improvements which are desired by API users and will be easier to maintain. Furthermore the program has been hard for users to deploy and run due to reliability issues, lack of knowledgable people to help and confusing configuration file syntax. Current users and members of the community are invited to write a replacement program to fill the same niche that ffserver did using the new APIs and to contact us so we may point users to test and contribute to its development."

I understand that Mermaid is designed to generate diagrams into HTML DOMs, not my use case. I have experimented over the years with text based diagram tools to replace OmniGraffle for figures in the books I write.

My writing process is fairly streamlined and efficient, except for generating OmniGraffle figures which takes some time.

My day job is in machine learning (30+ years) and I have considered creating a model to map my hand drawn figures to something nicer - not too difficult, except for a lack of training data.

I never knew who Paul Rand was. This is great. Especially whoever linked the list of his work.

I wanted to draw the mild comparison to a Canadian with a similar cultural impact here: Allen Fleming.

Unfortunately Fleming died young otherwise his work might Have pervaded.

He designed the CN (Canadian National Railways) logo that’s still used, Ontario Hydro, was art director at Maclean’s magazine, Ontario Sciene Centre logo, and was responsible for many designs at Cooper & Beatty Type— including the type-o-file. He also literally wrote the book on designing Canadian stamps as I just found out.

ctrl+f ego... no hits? I've never done a psychedelic other than a very spiritual moment with salvia divinorum, but I have read up on them extensively, (they are often touted to help with ptsd), and the one major common factor is their ego-busting nature.

Ego is a good thing in many ways, but due to societal and cultural strangeness, it is sometimes warped into overdrive (arrogance, etc) and sometimes too puny (low self-esteem, etc). Psychedelics seem like a path to showing you just how big... and small... you are in the universe.

That said, I have two warnings about this subject. First, I personally think synthetic psychedelics are potentially the most dangerous, which is why (especially after finding out it's CIA origins) I never intend to do LSD, for example. Second, these are things that my native-american brothers tell me must be done as a spiritual journey, and not as recreation. Those who approach these powerful things recreationally are the most likely to have bad trips.

Well in the UK we've had socialist governments to do things like bring in the NHS and temper the Market-will-moderate-it-all conservatism and the heavy buy-in to the concept that only things that make rich donors private profits are worthwhile.

We've also had incredible technological growth in part through global conflict. And there has been a massive use of non-renewable resources and huge unsustainable environmental impact because of that (externalities don't matter in capitalism). Add in this unmediated growth allowed for by not accounting for the externalities, and you get where we are now.

Iff (sic) the companies buying the robots are distributing all the benefit; eg they're cooperatives, public interest companies, charities (with flat pay structures); then you're democratising.

Replacing a worker with a robot not only puts another worker out to be cared for by the social care, but also denies society the company's share of the tax payments associated with that worker - a double whammy. Then on top of that the robot doesn't get a share of profits, that share goes to the (in almost all cases already wealthy) owners and so increases the wealth gap.

I'm interested in why you reject, seemingly out of hand, all aspects of communism. Why are Maker Spaces, say, so contrary to your notions of good social order. Are cooperatives evil in your eyes?

On the subject of air travel - where I am in the UK the only reason there is an airport is because the government stepped in, paid a stupidly high price that went to private individuals, and took over running of the airport. Without the capitalistic need to pay private profits with every transaction the gov could have paid costs (probably negative in this case, but anyway) and used the additional monies to further benefit the demos as a whole.

LSD doesn't have CIA origins, it's effects were discovered accidentally by Albert Hoffman. The CIA later commandeered research around LSD in order to look into how it could help train military personnel and also potentially be used as a weapon (while also stopping the research that was being done on its usefulness for therapy and creative problem solving).

LSD is indeed more potent than some naturally occuring psychedelic compounds such as psilocybin, although I'm curious why you believe that being synthetic makes it more dangerous?

Having a good setting and guide can also be very helpful as well in facilitating significant and net positive experiences.
Same. I’ve had nothing but fine experiences with them.
