to anyone that’s interested in what role magic mushrooms may have played in the evolution of humans. It also does an interesting job in talking about what drugs are legal and what drugs are illegal (and the somewhat arbitrary demarcation line between what’s socially acceptable (alcohol, caffeine, sugar, tobacco) and what is not and will put you behind bars).

Take it w/ a grain of salt but it’s definitely thought provoking.

Also keep in mind that it was written in 1993 but does a pretty good job of anticipating the legalization of marijuana and the eventual decriminalization of moslty all drugs on Schedule I that were put there without any kind of research or backing data (psilocybin, DMT and friends)
I cannot believe this would be the case.
> A company doesn't become adversarial with its workforce because of unions; a company is forced to treat its workforce more as an equal because of unions.

I'm not convinced. My brother's work has a warehouse. The warehouse unionized (a large push by two folks who are no longer there). Most of the warehouse workers are now making _less_ than they were before due to union dues. There are guys that my brother would love to promote and reward with better pay, but the union does not allow that. The union demands such-n-such, the business pushes back. The workers are in the middle and get shitall. This union (at least) exists to grow itself and for no other reason.

Now the "office personnel" are not allowed to talk anything union related with the "warehouse folks." It went from "us" to "us" and "them." The office people have to be careful on how they say anything or a union rep can file grievances. When you have to watch your behavior in fear of retribution, I'd say that is adversarial and I would say this happened due to the union.
This is nice, but what I really want is a short 1-paragraph precis of each story, not the entire text of each story.
It's more about the content itself than the platforms/services and apps.. although those are issues too.

Today most places are creating content a 20 year old way. It can't keep up with today's pace or depth of ongoing changes, or how quickly education content is needed on new topics in the future.

One thing I always thought was interesting about that is it happened during Noah's lifetime, when he was probably already older than 120 and lived a few hundred more years after. He's lucky the new rule wasn't retroactive to those who were already alive!

Also, there's some debate about whether that line means the obvious (maximum lifespan of around 120 years), or whether it's actually saying that people have 120 years left until the great flood comes. Most people (and me personally as well) think the former but the latter does make some sense as an interpretation in context. Well, except for the fact that it does mark a point in the Bible where people's reported lives stopped being ridiculously long.

> And i expect my elders and seniors to teach me about the dangers in this world.

My personal elders and seniors don't know the first thing about how to judge whether workplace chemicals would be harmful to me or not.

They're just other human beings, very fallible like myself.

As long at it seems decently run, I trust a government agency full of experts and reams of research over the elders and seniors I happen to know personally, who are generally totally lacking in both expertise and knowledge in most areas, any day.
> doesn’t mean the system didn’t fail spectacularly.

You're mischaracterizing the system; it doesn't end with publication. After publication, the science goes out to a wider audience of scientists who can build on the paper or refute it if they find it's wrong. Sometimes this process can take a long time and many cycles of publicans, but that's just the nature of science.

We have to stop pretending like the peer review process is some kind of magical filter of true science, or that it was ever intended to be as such. That notion leads to the faulty idea that if it's published, it's true. Junk science gets published, even if it's not disingenuous, and that's probably true no matter how great you make the peer review system.
According to my customers and users yes? Granted, we do a lot more than just that though.

Dl4j itself has a decent sized user base. Ranging likely from your phone maker to your bank and retail store.

We have our own software distro too which is why I'm commenting on this. We don't try
to boil the ocean with a bunch of tech though.

There's a whole new crop of companies focusing on solving bits of the ML problem well rather
than trying to do storage and god knows what else.

My point here about you guys is you're trying to compete in what is largely a commodity market.
People don't need all this stuff.
Simplicity won here. It's not about better tech.

You guys have the same pitch MapR does and largely the same problem: Better tech is only part of the problem with adoption. You need customers,
users, and a clear business
model when going to market.

Cloudera and Horton ran one playbook that at least somewhat worked (it got them public)
and now they can focus on competing with the cloud vendors,
which made the right decision and just made commonly used software easy to use.
Straw man. That’s not analogous to what was being discussed. A better analogy is: HN can see my email because I gave it to them to login. I don’t need to request what HN is doing with my email, because I already know I gave it to them. Giving them my email doesn’t harm me. Using it to do something illegal might, but the GDPR wouldn’t be able to stop that.
No, it can't be falsified by JS in the browser. CORS is only relevant for JS in the browser; it doesn't impact curl at all, for example.
all I want to know is the maximum speed file transfer I can expect?

with unlimited pipes from my ISP, and a fat 802.11ax router, what can I theoretically expect on speedtest.net

I feel like your analysis neglected using multiple bands or channels or whatevers at once, and how the routers all can do double, tri quad bands already and might do more for this technology

so we talking 3 Gbit/s?
2018 will be much heavier, bigger, with poorer visibility thanks to huge crash and rollover resistant A, B and C pillars. It will also have passed the pedestrian impact tests and have enormously better brakes and handling. So even though heavier it'll stop a lot quicker, and do less serious damage to a pedestrian at town speeds.

That's quite apart from any safety features like air bags or ABS.
From the article:

In April of 2005 the team’s submission, “Rooter: A Methodology for the Typical Unification of Access Points and Redundancy,” was accepted as a non-reviewed paper to the World Multiconference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (WMSCI), a conference that Krohn says is known for “being spammy and having loose standards.”
The people with the security problem are the users of browsers, and the browser vendors have a solution to solve that problem built into the browser. If they didn’t enforce it at the browser level, the owners of the servers would have little incentive to enforce CORS and most just wouldn’t. See https adoption.

I won't claim to know what their current philosophy is, but I do think that going their own way is in large part what made them notable to begin with. They were known as the quirky Japanese automaker that made fun-to-drive (for the $$) cars. They did things like:

- S2000: A powerful and lightweight naturally aspirated car with an insane redline of 9,000 rpm!

- VTEC was Honda's solution to keeping displacement down, without sacrificing power and efficiency, and what made their engines so buzzy.

- They were first to the hybrid game with the Insight (gen 1), beating Toyota's Prius to the market.

- Until the early 2000s they were putting double-wishbone suspensions in their econoboxes. This is no longer the case, to the disdain of car enthusiasts and modders.

You'll notice that they've stopped doing/stopped coming up with quirky innovations, leading them to become just another automaker.
This is not entirely true - in the developed world, energy use per capita has been stable for many decades now, currently economic growth has been decoupled from energy usage, breaking the assumptions of 70s "The Limits to Growth" argument. There's no exponential growth trend; yes, the total energy usage will grow while the population is (still) growing; yes, the energy usage per capita in developing countries will eventually increase to match developed countries, but that's it, there's expected growth but it is limited.

Our continuing progress and well being does not rely on unbounded growth of energy use until it inevitably hits a ceiling; we can expect total energy demand to stabilize at some level (though higher than the current one), and there's no reason why we couldn't meet that energy demand with sustainable means. There's no revolution needed to lift the ceiling - the ceiling we need is within sight, and we can reach it with straightforward application of current technology, e.g. increased adoption and economy-of-scale cost reduction of currently available solar and battery technology among others.

And here i am confused. So from their perspective, they can achieve something better for themselves, with that risk. And from my perspective, i see it as abuse of their situation, because iam on a different cushion level, where i dont have to risk my life for my job.

Well, they claim to have targeted "top journals" in the field, but it's not like "intersectional gender studies" is a particularly big field.

But this is data analyzed in 1661, gathered 127 years prior. so its 1 data point from 1 year, tough to make an accurate call on it as variance would be ridiculously high right?

I also did not see any data on sample size, etc.

this seems to say life expectancy was ~50 years if you reached 21. https://books.google.com/books?id=T4DLK7zLxYMC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA...

graunts life table says 33% chance of living to 21. 8.8% of living to 50. Shouldnt it be closer to 16%? if average is 50, means 50% beyond, 50% short. so 50% of 33% would be 16.5%? perhaps Im looking at this wrong

> Isn't the ability to separate out the quality work from the garbage the point of the peer review system

The peer review system is just one step in the scientific process. After passing the review it gets published and more scientists see it. They can then tear it down or build on top of it. If it's actually bad science, it probably won't survive long.

> Difficult why? It's a tiny country.

You're not wrong. I was just wondering how people would get around.

Factors that made me wonder included:

- when you're sightseeing, it's faster to buy gas (in today's era) than to charge to full battery
- the place I parked my car each night was not near a charging station and/or outlet
- having infrastructure in place to drive all over makes means there's less friction to go to remote places, and if there's less demand for remote places in the future, there may be less infrastructure near those places

I'm not trying to make argue any specific point here. I was just wondering. And even though Denmark is a tiny country, many other are damn huge!
Given how many laymen love to make this comment on every dark matter article, I wish even a few mentioned the opposite historical anecdote: neutrinos were originally postulated as invisible essentially non-interacting particles who's only functional role, at the time, was to conserve momentum and energy in interactions where it seemed to be violated. And that turned out to be correct.

So GM bought Cruise for $500MM in 2016 and Honda just invested in Cruise, valuing Cruse at $14.6B. Therefore the value of GM should be an extra $14B, and yet GM's stock has been flat since the purchase. What's going on here?

You support Flink too? Nice! I am glad to see more and more people eyeing it as a viable framework for streaming.

Do you support Kubernetes too?
We don't. We are the only on-premise vendor with proper support for GPUs and python. We are a full data science stack, backed by Hadoop. We even have Kubernetes for model serving. And python in the cluster (with conda environments). And we have customers and funding. Nothing like MapR. And none of the legacy mapreduce crap.

Let's see what happens when you hit rock bottom in The Netherlands, so zero wealth and zero income. I'm assuming you're about 30, single, and have no kids.

First, there is social housing available at a price between €335 and €710. True, you may have to wait a little for a house, but if it's a critical situation you will get priority. As you have no income, you will also get rent subsidies. After those, you'll pay roughly €250 / month for rent.

Second, healthcare. Health insurance is mandatory and covers practically everything, so you'll still have this. No need to worry about healthcare costs. You still have to pay for it. With a €385 / year copay, it costs you €94 / month. With a €885 copay, it'll cost you €75 / month. As you have no income, the government will subsidize your healthcare for €94 / month. Net cost: between €0 and €-20 / month. Yes, you can actually profit on healthcare.

Third, welfare. About €930 / month.

Let's look at some basic needs: heating is about €75, electricity is €28, water is €10, a 50/5 internet connection is €25, a basic 100 minutes, 100 sms, 1 GB internet mobile phone connection is about €7. There are some municipal taxes, but you don't have to pay any of them because you have no income.

This leaves you with about €535 a month for food, clothing, and all your other stuff. Note that I intentionally did not mention any car costs: you don't need it for grocery shopping, and you don't need it for a job, so any use is only incidental. If you even want to keep it, the main cost would be insurance, and that starts at €20 / month.

So let's look at the original question: is there a causal relationship between the wealth gap and homelessness? I'd say there is, because when rich people pay slightly higher taxes, literally nobody has to be homeless because the government will pay for their safety net. So how many people depend on this? Roughly 6%. This means that, on average, every working person has to pay €75 / month in taxes for a guaranteed safety net, including housing and healthcare. If you consider the amount of taxes you pay, that's not such a bad deal.
The only problem here is sound. Sound can be hard to get right, and I've stopped watching lots of interesting "meetup recordings" on YouTube because they just used the on-camera microphone and the audio was awful. It's a shame, but it makes it nearly impossible to watch.
No they haven't. You can't "completely disable" the ME in modern Intel x86 laptops, it is literally instrumental in the boot process.

They can turn on the HAP bit and run me_cleaner, this reduces the amount of code which runs on the ME. This is an attack surface reduction. It is wholly misleading to refer to it as outright disablement of the ME.

All I'm saying is that most of what you're trying to accomplish relates to getting recognition and that's not guaranteed by simply doing the work - sometimes it's not even predicated on it. This is something that isn't obvious to new and idealistic juniors.

OTOH maybe that's the way it should be - first you work your ass off and get real skills then you learn how to sell but have the skill to back it up.

Also a LOT of people fall in to the trap of thinking just because they perceive something as valuable that it's actually valuable to the employer - zealous juniors learning best practices without knowing how to put them in context wasting time and effort and getting frustrated for not getting recognized even though they "are right" .

In the long run, well, i agree, that there are many things, that are not very obvious to me. Like office work, sitting in the chair all day, not moving, looking at screens all the time. But iam sure my boss does not mean no harm. He surely looks more at his phone than me on a screen. We get smarter over time, i hope.

Tuesday, a well-over-300MB software update was pushed to all of our Samsung Galaxy S7s (they do this even over mobile data without giving you a chance to shift to WiFi first, but that's a different rant).

Anyway, it installed smoothly, as Android updates go, but a subsequent Software Status check says "Security Patch Level: August 1 2018".

Is it normal to leave security updates at over two months old on the day you push it?
