> Its common to throw words around like addiction when better words exist. Like habitual, or accustomed, or conditioned.

It's also common for attitudes to change very slowly with respect to something that has been around forever, that is available everywhere, and that can be safely used in moderation. It may be hard to accept that 'sugar addiction' is not an exaggeration; sugar brings to mind Valentine's Day, Halloween, and mom's apple pie, while addiction is associated with laying in the street, fatal overdoses, and ruined lives.

I certainly don't mean to say that everyone who likes sweets is automatically addicted to sugar. I use the term 'addiction' not to throw it around lightly, but because it is being used with its literal meaning by the medical professionals conducting said research, and because the usage is supported by the evidence (as can be seen in the links provided). That sugar addiction is being felt much less intensely than addictions to hard drugs, or that it can be overcome more easily, doesn't mean it doesn't fit the definition. Moreover, at a societal level, its consequences are just as dire (arguably, more so).

Okay, better question: how do you deal with the (pathologic, and therefore approximately guarranteed to come up) situation where A's life savings are ten dollars and a horse, B has 100 million dollars, and B claims (with amount ≥ 11$) that B owns A's horse.

They don't _have_ to be. Someone has to deploy the smart contract, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they get any privileged access to alter/use the smart contract after deployment. That's where a lot of the beauty of smart contract enabled blockchains comes from in my opinion.

The loss of culinary traditions I mentioned also includes the age-old habit of creatively re-using leftovers to make new things. Cook potatoes one day, grate the leftovers and make potato pancakes the next.

IANAL, but generally, the speech that is limited in the US is to things like yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater - i.e. things that might cause general panic.

> So then I guess there's no use for cryptographic signing, hash chains, and graph-theoretic consensus protocols? Because that's what you're saying.

What's being said is that it's not useful for shipping (and physical asset provenance) applications. The validity of the components is a necessary but not sufficient step in validating the application, and the latter cannot be derived from the former. The usefulness of blockchains for currency does not, in itself, imply their usefulness in shipping.

>At least you don't have to worry about Larry's shipping company cooking the books after the fact to their own advantage.

This is not as much of an advantage as it seems, if Larry can defraud you by going around the blockchain. Your risk is then determined by Larry's inclination to fraud, which is the same in either case. Fixing one hole in a fence doesn't help if the cattle can get out through another that you cannot fix.

What this argument needs is the outline of an actual solution to the problems.

N = 15. I understand that there are a lot of regulatory obstacles to performing large-scale clinical trials into psychedelics, but the overall quality of the research so far is indifferent. A great number of ineffective and mediocre interventions have been made to look miraculous by a handful of small open-label trials. The homeopathy community has produced a mountain of similar trials.

Psychedelics do indeed look promising and have a plausible mechanism for providing very large effect sizes, but it really is too early to draw any firm conclusions. The authors have registered a larger comparative efficacy trial, so I look forward to seeing their results if and when they are published.
Can they appeal the case in higher courts?
As a hiring manager myself I have not run across this situation, but now I am curious. I'm going to get together with our HR folks and ask them what would happen if a candidate made such a demand. I don't work for a huge company, but with a couple thousand U.S. employees we are not tiny either. I am interested in what I hear back. I would certainly never have negotiated this myself while looking for a job so it will be educational either way. Thanks for giving me something to think about!

> HTTPS is an open standard. Google doesn't control it. HTTPS doesn't require anyone to use any Google product.

The problem is that Google controls the most popular interfaces to consuming HTTP and HTTPS, i.e. their Chrome browser and their search engine. And so Google is in a position where they control how these protocols are consumed, which is the crux of Dave's argument. Google is already discouraging the use of HTTP through warning messages in Chrome and by adjusting search rank algorithms for HTTP sites. Dave's concern is that Google will "turn off" HTTP access in the same way they did with RSS after capturing the market share for consuming RSS feeds and then shutting down Google Reader and removing discoverabilty of RSS feeds in Chrome.

> If you did you would have some specialized software which would remotely wipe it upon being tampering with. Common sense.

If somebody physically attaching to your device isn't doing so in an environment that doesn't also block radio signals, they've already failed... and you can't be wiping your phone every time it loses signal.

The threat model of a personal computer and the threat model of something that literally follows you everywhere and knows everything you do are very different.

Physical access is much easier to obtain exposes you to way, way more. Getting a divorce? Your phone is probably something you want to guard extremely closely. You can get someone to pin your android phone for low-double digit thousands of dollars -- or even free if it's the right kind of person with the wrong kind of morals. IMO, if you have any meaningful assets to protect, whether they're yours or your company's, buying an Android phone with JTAG pins is _insane_ (or simply poor risk analysis).

But what do I know? I've only JTAG'd a phone before, scraped the RAM, obtained the unlock code and all of the user data. Random thought: how many people do you know whose phone unlock code is also their ATM pin number?

It has plenty to do with the broadband market, if you happen to be an AT&T subscriber, and especially if they're your only choice. This, coupled with their no longer being restrained from the kinds of shenanigans that NN barred, positions them to force preferential choices on their subscribers and wring more money out of them for the privilege of accessing competing services.

The only time I find I need generics is when I'm prototyping things and making lots of changes. Node, Ruby, & Python are great for this. In fact, PHP's associative array is really powerful/sloppy since it can be used as a list, hash/dictionary, iterable, or object.

That aside, I don't think I've ever really been bothered by the lack of generics for actual work code.
Depends on the kind of treatments. What was killing me then was the cost of doctor's appointments to get on hormones, which are generally covered (whereas it's a pain in the ass to get surgeries covered even with good insurance). Doctors are expensive if you don't have insurance.

When I first started out, in order to avoid the doctor costs, I ended up reading the clinical guidelines myself, finding a place for me to order my own blood tests, and looking up a reputable overseas online pharmacy I could order the medications from. The blood tests cost me $60 a pop, and the hormones cost around $80/month from the online pharmacy I used. Now, I'm also going to mention that I was also spectacularly underpaid at the startup I was working at then. That $140/month hurt. Badly. And I was constantly worried customs would confiscate the meds. Now, estradiol and spironolactone aren't controlled substances, so I couldn't be arrested for ordering them online, but theoretically customs could confiscate them anyway because they're Rx-only medications and then I'd be out $80 for nothing (yes, there is legally a level between OTC and controlled, where it's illegal to sell but not illegal to buy). In practice, they only do this one week a year (look up Operation Pangea) because they don't have the resources to do it but there was still a chance.

After a few months, I grew uncomfortable doing this without a doctor's supervision, so I eventually decided to suck up the costs and find an endocrinologist. The doctor's bill was in the neighborhood of $200 per visit, and because I was still early in my transition, I was seeing my doctor monthly at first. Oh, and I was still paying $60 to Private MD Labs for each blood test, because it turned out to be far cheaper to get my blood tests through them than through the provider my doctor worked with. The one consolation is that the medications themselves were cheaper; estradiol and spironolactone are both on the $4 generics list at Walmart, so my actual cost of meds went down from $80/month around $30/month (my doses were such that I was taking multiple pills per day). But those endo visits ruined my finances...

Google has significant control of how people access the web with web browsers (Chrome), email (Gmail), video (YouTube), user authentication, and mobile operating systems (Android and ChromeOS).
I'm not so sure it had a large following (do you really think it had as many users as say, G-Mail?). However, it is clear that it had a very _vocal_ following, and many of the people who used Reader were people who used it to follow developments in the tech world (e.g., bloggers and journalists), and hence, had a very loud megaphone to complain when it went away.

There were also a large number of other RSS web readers; some web based, some app based, some desktop based. The claim the lack of interest in RSS today is due to Google Reader's withdrawl just isn't backed up by the facts. In fact, I think the cause and the effect are mixed up here. I'm pretty sure that if RSS had managed to achieve mass market appeal, Google Reader would have very likely stuck around.

Definitely. There are a lot of valid debates you can have about whether or not this is a good thing, but it's very arguably the 'correct' decision in the sense of precedent, and as you are implying, the less surprising one.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. What I was trying to point out was that people seem to think of it as a disease like cancer and it's problematic to distill it to such a fine point. The fear that somehow you can open a door to losing your faculties much like how you can open a door to cancer via smoking is a mix of drug war propaganda and the overwhelming societal stigma against mental illness.

I very much agree with the conclusion clinically. However I've seen how the imprecise nature and the scarlet letter stigma of the disorder can feed into itself. Especially when coupled with (a lot of times secret) drug usage.

There are issues with co-morbid problems like autism spectrum+PTSD+psychiatric medications with unreported usage of substances that very much exhibit like psychotic spectrum disorders and because of a failure to identify the difference, people get the wrong care and sometimes it kills them. I tragically saw this play out with a friend of mine and in hindsight it was totally preventable.

I am definitely not denying that people have mental illnesses that need to be treated. Just saying that crazy isn't what most people think it is and crazification when it comes to psychedelics is something that fails to appropriately address a lot of factors. To think of psychosis in terms of absolute doesn't help people that struggle lead better lives and doesn't really cover the bases for self discovery and personal awareness either. In the end, not being critical of this kind of talk related to psychedelics makes it much harder for us to explore their massive therapeutic potential.

Even if Tesla was engaging in similar games, there's a lot more money and resources on the opposing sides, because he's created a lot of opposition. I'm not a fan in general of one person having ridiculous amounts of money or power because the human psyche never deals with that well, but I would rather such a person attempt to push progress forward rather than hide from the world with other rich folks and idly hoard. Elon Musk has become the bike shed of rich people because he's doing flashy, obvious things.

I don’t think that’s quite true. You definitely want RAII with exceptions, yes, but RAII is extremely useful even without exceptions. I believe it’s common to disable C++ exceptions but still use RAII.

If you have multiple returns from a function (which can very easily happen with manual error checking) RAII is a big win.
