"Research" because it cannot be done officially as LSD is illegal, so he relies on subjective reports of people who microdose, which cannot be precise and standardized, of course.
Have you tried it?
What I can recommend to you is to go and try it yourself, then tell me if it is homeopathy. Nothing can replace your own experience.
I was thinking this too lately when I heard someone talk about brain research on chimpanzees. The chimps are total slaves with no choice in what happens, which is horrible. Would it not be better for humans to be able to volunteer? I guess we would need to keep money out of the equation or it could get unseemly fast.
It's too much low quality data. If you yourself agree that you neither contribute nor can find valuable data, do Facebook a favor and leave.

They probably have enough vacation and family reporting to not need anymore of that. They are interested in finding trends, so if you are trendy enough and use facebook for trending, feel free to try to take advantage of it and hope you wont miss out.
The article expresses the difference in numbers instead of percentages for sensationalism when the imbalance pressure is the ratios. We've had the reverse imbalance from wars etc and it would be good to compare and contrast rather than claim the sky is falling like never before.
I prefer the approach promoted by David Mackay: a combined strategy of energy use reductions in all sectors combined with diverse renewables and nuclear power sources.

I agree that silly measures like turning off electrical items in stand by mode is like trying to loose weight by trimmeng your toe nails (you are technically lighter but not in anyway that matters) but to say the domestic energy reductions is pointless is a cop out to make people feel better about not trying.
Thank you, I’ll get in touch on Monday.

Agreed. New Zealand’s semi national paper prints unattributed reddit comments on a regular basis. It’s grim.

The hydrogen car is mostly a way to return drivers to slavery to gas stations.

My biggest takeaway from this article is that Tesla's very aggressive, forward-looking growth plan could be absolutely destroyed by a recession in the US economy.

Durant's companies ran fine with him as CEO until recession hit and he ran out of money.

What happens to Tesla if a recession hits? All of their products, while undoubtedly groundbreaking, are luxury goods purchased with discretionary income. Even the Model 3 - reliable, commodity transportation can be had for far less than $35,000.

How will Tesla handle the pool of buyers for a $75,000 sedan and $900/mo lessees shrinking dramatically?

Of course all auto manufacturers face this problem. But a company run by an aggressive, visionary CEO like Musk faces far more risk.
Wheŕe in gita does it say it?
"Most H2 is created through a technique called "cracking," which involves splitting the methane molecule (CH4) found in natural gas into two H2 molecules and a free carbon atom."

You can generate methane from rotting garbage, cow dung and whatnot. Almost anything that rots. And some of it is now torched as the transport is too expensive from far away oilfields.

But here's and idea: burn that methane directly in fuel cell?

People are WAY too exited about that "only water vapor from the tailpipe!" -hype.
Email can be self-managed. A popular productivity technique that Cal has recommended himself is batching: setting aside a fixed time to take care of a task like email, rather than haphazardly context switching to email throughout the day.

Why does an organization need to enforce what can be taught and incentivized on an individual level by offering higher productivity (and thus higher compensation/gratification in the black box model)? Don’t artificially inflate your theory, Cal! It’s interesting and useful as-is.
> Where, precisely...

Right here, clear as day: "We collect information from or about the computers, phones, or other devices where you install or access our Services, depending on the permissions you’ve granted"

Also notice that if they have that data, you explicitly gave permission to access phone/SMS data in the app install process; i.e., you granted those permissions.

> ...steal...

Again, that's the problem! Facebook didn't STEAL that data. They took it with your permission. And they were actually very clear in their policies about the fact that they could take pretty much anything you gave them device premissions to access.

This is NOT a "users can't understand legalese" issue. It's very clear from the above sentence in the data policy that Facebook has the right to record arbitrary shit off of your phone/computer.

This IS a "users don't care and don't have any data clawback rights" issue. Or perhaps a "users are too trusting" issue. But any high schooler could interpret the above sentence as meaning that Facebook does, technically, have the right to collect any information from your phone if you give device permissions.

The distinction is important because it determines appropriate solutions. The solution is NOT making ToS easier to read. The solution is stronger consumer data rights (aka a mechanism to clawback data after the fact) and better consumer education (aka be paranoid)

If you think that merely making ToS easier to read and understand will substantially change consumer behavior, you're in for lots of disappointment.
There are two types of internet based attacks. The first is “cyberwar” or the kinetic attacks that cause real world destruction. This is the kind the US has always been fascinated with and excelled at.

The second kind is the more broad “cyberwarfare” which encompasses the political / psychological. The eastern countries (Russia, China, etc) have for a long time always been more deft at political and psychological offensives.

What if cyberkinetic attacks aren’t the best way to kill millions? What if simply enflaming tensions over Facebook, leading to revolutions and more ”Arab Springs” will kill tens of millions more?

Facebook could have been a better company, but they chose not to be, over and over again. They are a threat to peace and a catalyst for war and must be stopped.
I believe that has a lot to do with how the experiences are actually different. Advertising are a lot more agressive, significantly more present and rely on data gathered from brokers that are meaningfully more insightful. Just look at the TV ad culture: ads for drugs that are incredibly manipulative, political ads that somehow are worst — and add targeting. The ads I see Americans friends share are terrifying to me.

Show-offs are also probably a problem, too; more so that there are less social expectation to peg them down a notch in the US.

I absolutely you can make Facebook work for you, but that requires to give it negative feedback (blocking or hiding people, hiding ads) and people have a strong aversion to this, on both sides of the Atlantic -- including data scientists who should know better about training models with balanced feedback.
Ice destroys the cell walls and thawing turns you to mush.
Not sure if they can make you a better person but I’m fairly certain they can help you know the difference.

Seeing the reality of who you are (or closer to the reality of who you are) can potentially propel you toward making changes.
Criticism of science journalism isn't in-group/outgroup, it's a claim about the state of the world. How do we know this? If I became a science writer, I wouldn't change my mind. Likewise, I think that most of the criticism of the humanities comes from people that read that kind of stuff in college and didn't like it. I don't work at McDonalds, so is it tribalism if I say I don't like BigMacs?

There's no apology or justification for misogyny, though.
Who do you suspect is paying for pieces like that? I don’t really see a lot of upside from attacking Facebook.
Axel Springer is a company, not a person or persons. Companies don't have human rights, so they obviously cannot appeal to the ECHR.

As for exceptional cases, I think the gist is any case that can involve human rights violations is exceptional, as the majority of cases don't even get into the territory of potentially violating the European Convention on Human Rights.
Well, ST3 does 70% of what VSCode does, at 1/10th the memory and much faster, and it's written by a single person.

Besides, they're still writing in a typed "language" (ts), so it's not like the dynamic language nature of JS that allows the VSCode base code to be developed incredibly quickly.

What really allows them to develop it incredibly quickly is the plugin API -- which allows tons of npm stuff to be ported and tons of JS programmers to create plugins for VS Code. A native statically typed based core would allow for that too. In fact the VSCode team already have moved some VSCode processing to C++ libs exactly for speed (and of course node itself is C++).

Using DOM for the drawing is faster (for a convenience perspective, not execution speed) yes, but with MS resources they could have made a streamlined equivalent that's much faster, more memory efficient, and doesn't have all the baggage of a web rendering engine. In fact, they have several native alternatives lying around they could make cross platform.

As it is, VSCode will ever have the burden of rendering to the DOM.
I very much agree with this sentiment. Now has always been special, and history always repeats itself. I can't believe that current diversions and pain killers are so good, that if basic needs in the Maslow's sense of the word, food/clothing/shelter, didn't suddenly come in short supply, there wouldn't be legions who would turn up very organized.

A friend once told me that the main difference between old money and new money in the US was old money seemed to have an understanding that they had to give back to the unprivileged. I don't have much experience with either so I don't know how true it is, but it would make a lot of sense for families that have managed to hold onto wealth through peasant revolts would have a healthy respect for preventing the conditions for them.
I wonder how many people buy Teslas because they think it will save the planet vs because they think it has a lot of torque
I grew up in Myanmar until 23 and know what you're talking about. Those 'sayalays' follow a less stricter rules/precepts than a fully-ordained monk. That's why they are expected to pay respect to the male monks. Of course, there is no denying that it's a male-dominant religion, but it is no worse than Catholicism. Buddha, according to the Buddhist legends, appointed his step-mom to be in charge of female monks and they have established their own structure, which follows closely to the one established by male monk's structure (but with slightly less strict rules).

As an atheist, I am not going to defend Buddhism (be it Mahayana, Theravada or Tibetan) because they all have major flaws, and aren't very practical--in my opinion--for the modern society. As with most religions, there are good and bad parts in Buddhism and a lot of original teachings by Buddha have been 'tainted' by cultural reasoning (not to mention that even Buddha himself likely got a lot of influence in his philosophy from Hinduism and other mainstream religions in his time). Overall though, I have to say that Buddhism at its core is fairly benign (no eliminate-those-who-don't-believe-in-our-god's-teachings that can be found in old testament or Koran).
It used to be that normal mode was an underline cursor and insert mode was a vertical cursor, but now that I guess vertical cursors are everywhere, Sublime switches between a vertical cursor for normal mode and an underline cursor for insert mode. A bit of a drag, but I don't use insert much at all.

One thing I'd like from the past is a blinking block cursor.
I wholeheartedly agree: Magit is that good, really. The way I see it, it reduces the burden associated with carrying the required git mental model in your mind, by giving you easier points of entry into its complexity. I owe all the slightly more advanced things I now routinely do with git (which would probably be seen as pretty basic by a lot of people though) to Magit, without question.
Increasing unsprung weight by putting the motors in the wheels will reduce the ride quality quite a bit.

You can make lower RPM electric motors that can do direct drive but they will loose efficiency, power and speed. At some point gears became better to reduce the RPM, even after accounting for gear loses. Even current electric cars really need 2-3 gears for maximum performance and efficiency, but they can get away with fixed gears which greatly simplifies things. One of the interesting things about the 4 wheel drive Tesla’s is that the 2 motor/gear assemblies are optimized for different speed bands so they can have the benefit of both without needing to shift gears, they just shift power from one motor to the other.

In wheel motors generally will only be done for low speed applications where a suspension is optional, just like airless and omnidirectional tires.

That's Option 1. In Option 2, Moxie suggests using the Web PKI, with pinning. I agree with tialaramex that this advice has not aged well. Most Web PKI experts would now advise against pinning and point to Certificate Transparency instead. Even Google, the pioneers of pinning that Moxie cites in his post, are moving away from pinning Google properties in Chrome.
The problem is that most people conflate social media with the predominant mode of social media use, i.e., smartphones. Many of the jedi mind tricks that the mobile apps play to keep us addicted don't really work that well on a computer.

For example, here is a TED Talk by a very smart person on "Why you should quit social media": https://www.ted.com/talks/cal_newport_why_you_should_quit_so... but listen to his arguments and you see that most of his objections are to the mode of social media use in the present day, i.e., smartphones.

In my opinion people should not quit social media, rather they should quit using smartphones and find out what their friends are up to on a weekly/monthly basis by logging in to their facebook account on a computer. This is a healthy way to use social media.

Let me not get into the obvious rebuttal "but, how do I quit smartphones! they're so useful!". Personally, I use a Nokia 105 and I am very happy.

If you're experiencing withdrawal symptoms due to a lack of attention from people on the internet after deleting Facebook, you can just re-enable your account. There's no need to write yet another article about why you did it.
Sure... and xenophobia is just clearly seeing that foreigners are dirty. And when the Xenophobe vacations in Mexico, they still thinks these people around them are dirty.
>Wouldn't it just be Visual Studio then?

No, but it would "just be" an open source, MS backed, version of Sublime or TextMate. The concept of Visual Studio is different.

>We would get updates once a year instead of once a month.

The language the core is in is irrelevant as to whenever we would see updates. That's a concern of the release process.

>There are less C++ devs than JS devs.

Not really important, as most of the contributors are MS guys anyway. In fact a single person has made Sublime Text, an editor that offers most of what VSCode offers, with 1/100 the budget and manpower. If only it was Open Source too, or had a few more devs...
You can do it this way. Though as I have repeatedly said, blocking Facebook is more of a symbolic gesture that you dislike tracking, rather than actually disabling tracking. There are many other companies that are tracking you, who collectively have far more data about you than Facebook does, and because they are lower profile, they can do things with that data that actually are nefarious (unlike in the case of Facebook). If you don't want to be tracked, give your smartphone to a homeless person and cancel your Internet service.

Still, if you want to bother with the drop-in-the-ocean strategy and block Facebook domains with your hosts file, see:

And let's not forget he pursued ascetic practices for six years and nearly starved to death[1], then he sat under a tree with a very particular goal in mind.

At that price they are competing with options that you don’t have to babysit, which is a big advantage if you are commercial operator.
Do we really argue why the DOM and a full blown browser engine might not be the best option for a programmer's editor?

How low have we fallen from what programmers were concerned with memory use, and speed, and the right tool for the right job, and so on, and even Emacs was considered bloated...
You don’t seem to consider the possibility of having control over that data -- knowing and editing who knows what about you.

I’ve been actively filtering any ad not coming from a network where I had a good knowledge and detailed access over my profile (Google and Facebook); filtering any cookie not justified by my direct usage, and it hasn’t really hampered my usage. I can’t read things on Forbes and Business Insider, but that’s hardly a loss.

It doesn’t mean my information doesn’t get leaked, but it means that, starting next month (I’m in the EU) if I see an advertiser in my Spam box, or on https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/ I will be able to ask how they got around our agreements and not be given evasive answers.

Congratulations to her. I remember reading the piece at the time (linked from here actually!) and thinking it was a sad but powerful expose on the epidemic. It's so easy to see the statistics and just move on, but the Enquirer team did a fantastic job at providing human insight and showing the stark impact the opioid crisis is having on entire communities.
>sure, but would we even be here talking about VS Code if it had been written in those languages? Would the extension community have grown as quickly?

Why not? Didn't hurt ST or TextMate much (though them being closed source did). And we still use Vim, written in C, 40+ years on, and it has tons of plugins...

>Would Microsoft have continued investment in the product if it hadn't?

Hull City Puts Up Extra 24  Social Work Posts to Improve Children's Services
The subjective is always where there is value.

I wish there were surgeons that would accept these challenges and colleagues would objectively assign a degree of difficulty score.

And a site that aggregated such scores. I really don’t care how “friendly” a doctor is - did the get the diagnosis right? Did they improve longevity? Did they improve quality of life?

Not easy to score but what everyone wants to know.
If you're like me who prefers having million tabs open you'll find vscode to be much easier on memory usage with multiple project windows open. Also the extensions are nice although i do not know how good they are versus intellij.
Computer-assisted would imply that the human is responsible for the milling, and the computer helps.

Here, the computer performs all milling and measurements, but rely on a human to move the machine to where the work needs to be completed, posting instructions on a screen to the human as to where to put the machine. This is simply to optimize machine size, as a full plate CNC mill is a pretty big beast.

TL;DR: This is a human-assisted CNC router.

SNAT (Social Network Analysis: Twitter)
Same here. My main concern was that I wouldn't be able to use sites for which I'd used Facebook login. This turned out not to be a problem at all.
That doesn't demonstrate this is false. This is true, because these are the actions being taken at this time... That different things happened for other vulnerabilities is not relevant to this situation. Google is threatening to publicly release an exploit for which Microsoft has admitted they are already working on a fix.

Google is not a lawmaker, and if they continue to release 0-day exploits in this manner, even after being instructed otherwise by the vendors, at some point they will be made to shoulder some of the burdens of their having done so. Google knows this to be true, or they would not have held some recent vulnerabilities past their stated 90 day release window.

Thoughts about the relative technical merits of the companies or source codes doesn't come into play here. These are business decisions that affect real world companies and people.
And IIRC (saw this thing years ago), it quickly retracts the bit and tells you that you're an idiot if you move out of range.
I don't think straight hilbert curves:IP ranges are the best mapping, and would prefer something built around ping times or hop check routings in 3 dimensions. Or integrate it with geolocation data. But! It's still super useful. Or integrate it with geolocation data.

On top of all of this, I also did a bonus scan of a few APNIC IP blocks every 30 mins for 24 hours. The data from that allows you to see the internet “breathe” as clients come online in the morning and offline at night

Really, I'm surprised there isn't a distributed/crowdsourced system to do this all the time and allow people to study the 'weather' in the datasphere.
>Can't you just use Facebook when you find it convenient and then just move on with your life?

I do. I check FB a couple times a month, but I have to remember to log out lest they help give power over my actual life to another piece of trash like Trump again. That is the problem with Facebook, and it's a problem they consider to be the family jewels.

This isn't anti-vax nuttiness. While individual people might get value out of FB and communicate with people they wouldn't otherwise and all the other benefits FB provides to the recluse/housebound/gossip demographic that provides value to FB's marketing team (never referring to the demo as such, natch), FB is provably a cancer on society. If you want to say Trump is a special exception, I'm willing to hear how FB no longer is a factor in issues this serious, but I doubt that the rationale exists.
