Weed can most definitely be dangerous, and it is going to vary from person to person, from situation to situation not in the least the other drugs/medicine they use.

FWIW (anecdotal), I've had small psychosis ("bad trip", a BS name for that IMO) lasting a few hours to half a day on it multiple times under different circumstances (one time combination with one glass of alcohol plus not being used to either, one time where I passed out after -apparently- too much of active substance, one time combination with anti-depressant). All these 3 times occurred in The Netherlands where marihuana usage is decriminalised. Why did this happen though? Turns out, as I figured much later, I have autism, and weed made my autism-related symptoms worse in certain settings (ie. when I was not alone). Consider, for example, that I can get anxious in large groups because of all the stimulations. Consider, that weed increases these feelings and makes me even more receptive to these stimulations. Doesn't take a genius to figure that can lead to a (mild) psychosis. I've never had a psychosis on weed while I was alone though. Every psychosis I had was related to stress, apparently autism-related.

I don't want to forbid others what I did myself, but what I feel I can do is warn them and share my experience.
There's a rather worrying trend of psychedelics being "sold" as a safe panacea. If you believe the cheerleaders, psychedelics are powerful enough to rapidly cure mental illness and facilitate profoundly positive personality changes, but have only trivial side-effects. That doesn't seem particularly plausible to me - there aren't many medicines that are both very potent and very safe.

The stereotype of the burned-out hippie exists for a reason. I personally know people who took way too much acid and never quite came back to earth; some are diagnosed schizophrenics, while others are just a bit eccentric and vague. There are a lot of really harrowing reports in the Erowid archive. HPPD is almost certainly a real disorder. I'm not advocating for DARE-style scaremongering, but I think that any honest conversation has to give serious consideration to potential risks as well as potential benefits.
Here's a slightly silly way to keep your brain switched on while reading:

Set an alarm to go off every few minutes. When the alarm goes off shut the book and summarise what you read in the past few minutes. Writing it down helps keep you honest (if you do it in your head its very easy to fool yourself). After you summarise start reading again.

Forcing yourself to practice recall helps memory. Being interrupted helps memory too. You don't need any fancy software, just a timer.
Thank you! I'm from the team, I'll try to answer your question.

One tablet creates the drawing group, and other tablets join that group. The host centralizes the data submitted by participants (guests), and it redistributes it to all other.

So it's "star" because one manages the data, and it's "peer-to-peer" because it uses an Apple Wi-Fi extension that enables direct NxM networking of devices (no Wi-Fi access point needed). Also works with Apple TV.

Ask HN: Why is there no up-vote count shown next to comments
I will like to know why their are no upvotes count displayed next to comments even though it is obvious that they are counted, I do not know about you but i feel that this feature will enable one quickly filter highly relevant, enlightening and worthwhile comments from general and normal comments particularly on very long threads that tend to test a readers patience.
I also do understand the mantra that all comment's have a certain sense in them, but come on not all comments are equal in this case due to a lot of variables like perhaps the experience and qualification of a writer in relation to the subject matter being discussed.
I had a thought that this paradox is essentially a self-referencing paradox akin to "This sentence is false" (which is true if it is false, and false if it is true).

Consider Friday: The prisoner know that he will be hanged today, so he realizes he can't be hanged because it wouldn't be a surprise, which makes the hanging surprising... Or in other words, "I will be hanged" means "I won't be hanged" (because it won't be a surprise) and "I won't be hanged" means "I will be hanged" (because it will be a surprise)
The article doesn't even mention NP-completeness. Nor does the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.06355.pdf

You don't need a nanny state as a solution. In fact that's bad as it leaves people to believe they don't need to critically think about things because 'nanny' has them covered.

Twitter, Mastodon can be tools for political system such as democracy. Twitter don't sell anything to the end user : it is free, it is not really a "product" for an end user. Why did people use it? Because it's a new way of expressing your ideas. If some governments force Twitter to censor itself for X reasons, and users disagree with it, people will start to look for alternative to express themselves. Also I think the Mastodon/federation system is harder to block nation-wide than just Twitter. Democracy is totally revelant to the topic imho.

Edit : so, maybe Mastodon will never be as big as Twitter, but the goal isn't to migrate everyone from Twitter to another platform. The goal is to propose alternatives. The title of the submission is a bit click-bait

Kinda (I'm not a local) - the shops are quiet dodgy, usually attracting lower status people. Only sells weed or hash or pre-rolled joints with tobacco.

Compare it with US - some shops in SF look like fancy hotel lobbies, sales people incredibly knowledgeable, lots of options (candy, vapes, shatter, wax, oils, etc). Can't smoke there tho.

Napster made music sharing mainstream c. 1999, but only the most extreme people were DCCing sg1 episodes over modems at that point.

It was the emergence of iTunes that killed off unauthorised sharing - because the product was available at a reasonable price in the way people wanted it.
MealSquares. Zero prep, solid, not filled with soy, has everything except omega-3s. If you don't care about "meal time as an experience", it's the most time-efficient thing I've found.
Drugs should not be criminalised. They should be regulated.

There's no fundamental reason that drugs are any worse than alcohol except social stigma and manipulation.

A most bizarre example imo is Portugal. It is a fine-able offense to carry drugs (up to 10 days), but not criminal. Yet it is criminal to produce or distribute drugs. How does that work if consumption of the end product is not criminal.

It's like it must be illegal on principle because drug cartels (or whatever), but we understand the end effect is not something criminal. Weird..
Smart Kobold (and other games by Jeff Lait, such as Vicious Orcs) have interesting, weird geometry indeed, but it is still "flat". A bunch of Euclidean square grids glued together. HyperRogue uses actual hyperbolic geometry, which is very different.
Homework was required and graded, so I assume everybody did it! It also forced you to attend every lecture because you had to hand in homework on the way in. The professor claimed he would throw away homework from those who dropped it off and walked out. (In reality, with prior communication he was always flexible. )

Referential integrity is nice, though not losing data is always job #1. In that respect, SQLite is pretty hard to beat. Seems like half the linux filesystem bugs I read about have a sidenote of "SQLite unaffected".

This set of observations has been made repeatedly throughout history, albeit usually in works that sink immediately into obscurity. That's a pity because the key insights are very important.

The same theme - why do so many intellectuals find themselves supporting dictatorships long after the rest of the world has understood their true nature - has been extensively explored by Sowell in books like Intellectuals & Society, and a Conflict of Visions. He finds similar explanations:

* Difficulty in accepting that individuals are inherently limited and corruptible, and that ideas are often worthless when tested in the forge of reality. After all, intellectuals are almost by definition people whose value to society comes from production of ideas and who see themselves as unchained from the normal moral and mental limits most people slave under.

* That reason, reflection and debate are limited tactics that can't yield that much insight about the world.

* That to believe in intellectuals as a concept is almost inherently to disbelieve in the notion of democracy, because if insight and wisdom were really so compressed into a few moralistic bookworms and if most people really had none to share, then voting itself is pointless or even harmful. Instead the best outcomes would be yielded by a dictatorship of intellectuals (which is what communism is, in effect).

So you end up with academics, writers, some kinds of politician ... the people who would these days be called the 'elite' or 'globalists' ... having a distinctly lukewarm relationship with markets and votes throughout history.

Yet because they are fundamentally wrong about human nature, where their ideas are put into practice things inevitably go wrong. The intellectuals who end up in charge don't create a utopia. Their 5 year plans turn out to be not that well planned, their price-fixing turns out to create other problems elsewhere, and their profound belief that most people are too stupid or immoral to rule turns into an oppressive dystopia. And so the wheel turns.

If you're interested in these ideas or philosophies, this video interview with Sowell is a good place to start:

From the article:

It is much more difficult to be a fraudster in a society in which people only do business with relatives, or where commerce is based on family networks going back centuries. It is much easier to carry out a securities fraud in a market where dishonesty is the rare exception rather than the everyday rule.

I don't think thats the case. The skillsets are different, but fraud happens just as much in societies which depend on inter-personal trust. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ohio-man-sentenced-in-17-millio... http://amishamerica.com/amish-investors-lose-3-9m-in-alleged...
> The Straight Dope from Cecil Adams is like lots of that neat content that was essentially the internet before the internet.

You start with this, and then go into more examples of "content that was essentially the internet before the internet" like going to 7/11 with friends, reading Nintendo Power, and riding your bike. That sounds a lot more like missing your childhood than any cultural changes, especially when your pre-internet internet includes things like IRC and message boards. It seems like you're just using "internet" as a synonym for "the present".

> All of that greatness is turning to vaporwave nostalgia.

The only criteria for being included in "that greatness" is that you enjoyed it and it's not popular anymore: it isn't turning to nostalgia, it's nostalgia by definition.

Replace Cecil Adams and the Straight Dope with whatever you like, and this is just as fitting of a sappy eulogy.

You can but that’s another costly layer of complexity and distribution to worry about.

One of the failure modes I see a lot is failing to factor in latency in distributed systems. Mainly because most systems don’t benefit at all from distribution and do benefit from simplification.

The assumption on here is that a product is going to service GitHub or stackoverflow class loads at least, but literally most aren’t. Even high profile sites and web applications I have worked on tend to run on much smaller workloads than people expect. Latency optimisation by flattening distribution and consolidating has higher benefits than adopting fleet management in the mid term of a product.

Kubernetes is one of those things you pick when you need it not before you need it. And then only if you can afford to burn time and money on it with a guaranteed ROI.
Thank you, that helped me make sense of your arguments and links :)
Sugar and fats are both compounds present in nature, and evolution hardwired us to search them out as high calorie sources. Modern food processing has drastically lowered the cost/increased availability of those substances, allowing individuals and companies to increase the amount included in prepared/processed food. Oils are necessary to life and sugars aren't, is the only difference really. Eat food, mostly plants, not too much.

Or just two DCs in active/active.

Still works out cheaper for workloads than AWS does even factoring staff in at this point.

AWS always turns into cost and administrative chaos as well unless it is tightly controlled which in itself is costly and difficult the moment you have more than one actor. GCP probably the same but I have no experience with that. Very much more difficult to do this when you have physical constraints.

Two man startup, perhaps but I think the transition should go:

VPS (linode etc) for MVP, colo half rack, active/active racks two sites then scale out however your workload requires.

That said, the whole field of science journalism and popular science book writing lives from violating these rules, making things much simpler than they actually are. But then again, the average person is a) not in charge of the physics experiments and b) tries to use these as a reference in a scientific paper is up for a surprise.

Not having a process for chargeback removes buyer protection. This will make people risk averse and only deal with big and trusted companies like Amazon and Flipkart.

But in the US, I give my card to many small businesses knowing that I've chargeback as a tool. The businessess also ensure quality and delivery timing because payment processor is closely monitoring their chargeback rates.

There are often historic reasons for rules in religions. Some come out of self-interest (there's only one God -- don't fall for other religions and their habits), some out ofsome form of ethics which derive out of cultural background of the time (don't kill, have only one wife) and practical issues (don't eat pig -- without having a fridge and when being in Messopotamian heat pig meat goes bad quite quickly, leading to health problems, which can be put on God's will due to limited medical understanding)

The question is: Do the reasons still apply today?

What actually is happening is people being indoctrinated with a view of themselves and the world as being animals spinning around a rock with no purpose and no meaning. This is how the powers that be wants us to feel, and it's the point of going through the education system, shaping us into specialized workers, with relief coming from consuming things.

It seems very few people realize what is going on. It's no accident the world was told to be round in the 1500s, because in order to make people believe we are pointless small little hairy apes, you first have to create the understanding that we are not special and have no purpose.
