1. From your link: "only the genetically susceptible mice developed schizophrenia-related changes after being exposed to cannabis".

2. As each argument against legalization fails to make a dent in public opinion, yet another takes its place. At some point, it is no longer about weighing the risks to come to a decision. Instead, critics have already decided that "marijuana is bad", and are looking to point to _anything_ that supports their agenda.

Is there a reason I don't want to expose my public IP address? Every server I connect to knows my IP address.

Connecting to bittorrent would give you the following information:

* Key (IP) to connect to other data sources (but joins will be dirty, IP addresses change, people use multiple ip address, multiple people use the same ip address).

* ISP name

* Rough location (mine says I'm in a suburb about 20 miles away, when I'm actually in the city)

* Which files you have and are willing to share.

* Which files you are requesting.

There is no PII, and the only thing interesting would be to do location analysis or to try to cluster the files based on taste (people that watch movie A are likely to also watch movie B)

I don’t understand why this makes it any better. I’m sure there’s a lot of “messaging and document management” needed to run those detainment centers. And besides, what’s going to happen in the future when they do ask to use Cognitive Services in their mission? “Sorry, you only get O365?”

Isn't this back-to-front? Generally filtering is considered to work better in a linear colour space. Using a sRGB texture will convert each pixel to a linear colour space, before the reconstruction filtering is done, AFAIK.
What is the correlation between countries with partially privatized penal systems and strong drug laws? Yes, I realize that drugs have been illegal longer than prisons have been privately run in most cases but prison privatization is a factor in keeping them illegal, is it not?

It's just a very difficult problem to solve. The drug war has proven you can't just rely on enforcement with laws that run across the economic grain. You need to find a way to align them, and that will take time and massive commitment. Unfortunately we're not collectively interested in that, we're far more interested in proving the other side wrong.

On a side note, a few well-told and politically neutral stories out of Hollywood wouldn't hurt here. We'll likely have immigration solved before we could actually expect that, but a guy can dream.
I really don't understand why these types of systems are consistently such colossal failures, extremely expensive, and unable to be corrected by human intervention to the point where after weeks, authorized management couldn't correct the error and had to rehire the employee.
Oh no... now that it is legal, a number of the publicly traded cannabis companies will be able to actually start selling the product they’ve been stockpiling over the last year.

Everything we’ve seen for estimates is that even then, we’re only going to meet 50% of the demand.

Canopy Growth Corp, CBW, Aphira, Abcann... there are actually dozens of them and they’re going to be in for a good year for now and (hopefully) tremendous growth as well.

Blog co-author here: With the settings in the blog post, the DivANS algorithm skews towards saving space over speed. Brotli skews heavily towards decompression speed without sacrificing much ratio. The reason we focus a lot on comparing to Brotli, is that Brotli does extremely well on data stored at Dropbox.

However, I don't think the performance is a fundamental law, and there are clearly some clever optimizations yet-to-be done.

I was very surprised that the lzma-brotli mashup outperformed either. This leads me to think that with enough community involvement we could discover some really clever heuristics and algorithms for compression all together.

Indeed. It is arguably rational for Intel to take on the burden in a centralised place rather than expecting every two-bit software shop to to do it.

But then the existence of this kind of security issue shows that the added complexity is not always worthwhile. We might be forced to to accept that computers which actually behave well are a little bit slower than we thought. But in return they will be simpler and more amenable to software optimisation.

I agree with this - on the receiving side. Users of heroine, meth, etc are victims or at least mental health cases. -- They need medical help, not criminalization.

Prosecute the distribution channels all night and all day, but if we make it legal to 'use' and 'ingest' anything -- libertarian style (I'm a left-leaning technocratic democratic socialist), and only prosecute sales/distributions of banned substance, --it might make 'users' more open to coming forward and saying -- hey, I need help, this is destroying my life and I can't kick it without help.

Instead of them thinking.. I need help, but fuck it -- if anyone finds out I'll go to jail.

The irony of Brits saying these things specifically, is that they were one of the first to formally study the social effects of cannabis, as early as 1894 - and before all the Anslinger madness. Here's what they found - note the conclusion especially:

"In regard to the physical effects, the Commission have come to the conclusion that the moderate use of hemp drugs is practically attended by no evil results at all. There may be exceptional cases in which, owing to idiosyncrasies of constitution, the drugs in even moderate use may be injurious. There is probably nothing the use of which may not possibly be injurious in cases of exceptional intolerance.

In respect to the alleged mental effects of the drugs, the Commission have come to the conclusion that the moderate use of hemp drugs produces no injurious effects on the mind. It may indeed be accepted that in the case of specially marked neurotic diathesis, even the moderate use may produce mental injury. For the slightest mental stimulation or excitement may have that effect in such cases. But putting aside these quite exceptional cases, the moderate use of these drugs produces no mental injury.

In regard to the moral effects of the drugs, the Commission are of opinion that their moderate use produces no moral injury whatever. There is no adequate ground for believing that it injuriously affects the character of the consumer.

Viewing the subject generally, it may be added that the moderate use of these drugs is the rule, and that the excessive use is comparatively exceptional. The moderate use practically produces no ill effects. In all but the most exceptional cases, the injury from habitual moderate use is not appreciable. The excessive use may certainly be accepted as very injurious, though it must be admitted that in many excessive consumers the injury is not clearly marked. The injury done by the excessive use is, however, confined almost exclusively to the consumer himself; the effect on society is rarely appreciable. It has been the most striking feature in this inquiry to find how little the effects of hemp drugs have obtruded themselves on observation. The large number of witnesses of all classes who professed never to have seen these effects, the vague statements made by many who professed to have observed them, the very few witnesses who could so recall a case as to give any definite account of it, and the manner in which a large proportion of these cases broke down on the first attempt to examine them, are facts which combine to show most clearly how little injury society has hitherto sustained from hemp drugs."

Blaming lead for the increase in crime certainly has an appeal. Any claim like that is going to be controversial - pinning causes and effect this closely is a bit like large-scale anecdotal evidence - you're never going to repeat the multitude of causes and effects to went into the twenty years from 1980 to 2000.

A different approach I find compelling involves those who look at different time scales. Especially, violent crime has been declining since colonial times in the US and around the globe - with specific exceptions. While the overall downward trend needs explanation, any moment where crime is declining is normal and the moments of upturn seem to be what needs explanation. And the explanation here is often the aftermath of war, soldiers who've learned to kill coming home.

Of course this isn't to claim lead pollution is in any way acceptable but whether it lead to violent crime is a fuzzy question.

Anytime some proposes a simple solution to a complex problem that nobody's been able to solve and calls it "simple", they're wrong. Who's going to give them money? Bill Gates? No, he's spending it curing malaria. Jeff Bezos? No, he's using his money for his rockets. You? No, you're using your money for whatever luxuries you indulge in. Once you find the people who're going to give away their money, how will you convince them to do so? Threaten violence? No, you'll get arrested. Steal it? No, you'll get arrested. Form a revolution and steal it? No, you don't have enough desperate people willing to give up their lives just so they'll be compelled to give their money to some strangers in another country.

Even if it succeeds, now you have a bunch of unskilled people who don't need to work. What will they do with their time? There's plenty of examples in the US and other countries of how that turns out.
At some retailers lights will flash around both the swipe slot and the chip slot on the machine when it is time to pay, but I’ve experimented with swiping a chip-enabled card and every time the machine immediately says ‘Insert Chip’. I think retailers still really want to accept swipes to prevent chip reliability issues from resulting in lost sales, but they also want to heavily prefer chip transactions because then they aren’t as liable in fraud cases. So perhaps they’ve bought credit card machines that have conditional-swipe failover for this.

That being the required word. If Qt does all of its own rendering and ignores browser APIs, there's no way for it (just as an example) to defer to custom system fonts if a user is dyslexic.

Even assuming that the browser did expose everything necessary to re-implement its accessibility stack, screen readers and translators on the web are all using CSS and the DOM to figure out what to say. The only way to get real integration with browser accessibility tools and extensions would be for Qt to put wrappers around all of the entry points like DOM selectors.

And if that's the plan, why not save everyone a bunch of trouble and just use the DOM correctly to begin with?

The next day I came back to see a pristine desk.
With all my stuff gone.

Something like this happened to me too at a previous employer, some things I recovered but many were just gone, the cleaning staff apparently help themselves to stuff that “former” employees leave behind, so my fancy headphones for example were just gone. Fucks given by HR/facilities? Zero. One of many similar incidents for me and my cow-orkers. And this was a desk move literally from one row to another!

It wasn’t even an algorithm per se, most of the “machine” at this place was people in India following checklists manually. You could speak to them (tho' they made this very difficult to do) and tell them to stop and they would say “yes” and do it anyway.

I had a friend at another company who was mistakenly terminated, a week later his manager called him at home to find out if he was OK, the conversation apparently went,

Are you sick? What happened?

You fired me you bastard!

No I didn't! Please come back!

Too late now, I have another job.
> I think that what we’re seeing right now with ICE is deeply immoral. It’s a violation of human rights on all kinds of levels.

Treating criminals as criminals happens every day in every country and comes with the same consequences - children are separated from their parents.

Right now there are tens of thousands of broken black homes as one or two parents are in prison - where's the outrage for them and what about their human rights and their families?

This moral panic, fanned by the media, truly reflects an inability for critical thought. Illegal aliens ignore US law, knowing full well that their acts are illegal and have consequences. Go to a port of entry or embassy like all other immigrants. It's that simple.
From the research I've done it seems that most plants pick up very little. In fact it's almost a problem because you can't "leach" it out through planting. On the other hand, fruits and such aren't affected. The problem is that it's in the soil, so you have to be really careful about washing produce if it's dusty. I would be very hesitant to eat any beets, carrots, potatoes, etc... unless the soil had been amended. That usually means several feet get manually removed and dumped somewhere else and you bring in fresh topsoil. This is what WA state has had to do with a lot of the parks and public schools where they've tested and found high Pb levels.
hmm, remind me to never try to explain or apologize for anything anymore. maybe an attitude of doubling-down and arguing is the only valid approach these days.
Under Wickard v. Filburn:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn

You can argue that it's not a reasonable interpretation - I would agree with that. But it is a long-standing one, and there are a lot of things that the feds do today that hinge pretty much solely on it - and that includes pet issues for both the left and the right. Just to give one example, aside from enabling the feds to ban weed, Wickard also enables the feds to enforce the Civil Rights Acts. So it is very unlikely for that interpretation to go away - there's too much staked on it politically.
From the article:

>But in the 21st century, as climate change triggers periods of drought, land values continue to skyrocket, and the attraction of Zion expands along with its hotels, restaurants and bike shops, the family operation finds itself “squatted at the intersection of the old and new Wests.”
It's possible that someone with picturesque land near Zion unable to monetise it just isn't very imaginative. Springdale is expensive and I feel like people would stay further out (say, if accessing the Kolob Canyons side of Zion) if presented with an interesting experience and decent price.

I'm from Australia but have visited Utah a number of times and shuttled up near Smith Mesa to start a Trans-Zion hike. I begrudgingly pay Springdale prices when in the area.

Last month in Australia, I hiked in an event on a sheep station where there were shearer's quarters rented to families in non-shearing seasons, and around 10 campsites set up. Each campsite had very basic facilities but enough to beat simple camping. I intend to return. The views up there are nowhere near what you get near Zion.
Drug use is a moral failing, it sounds like you just don't like the morality. Morals are not necessarily what is convenient or fun or pleasurable.

In some interpretations, moderate use is not a moral failing, but heavy or compulsive use is.

All that applies to alcohol as well, so I agree if we're going say that alcohol is legal, then other drugs used in similar ways should be legal as well.
