There's a lot of non-coding work involved in launching in a given country. Years ago, not long after GrandCentral became GV, there was a project to launch in a second country, but the effort just stalled for a variety of reasons and got cancelled. It was going to work differently from the US one because it would have lived in other market realities altogether.
The usage of ketamine in the trials for depression typically uses IV administration over a fairly long timespan with highly specific dosages. It is not comparable to street usage of the drug.

As with any psychotropic medication, one should do their research. Psychiatrists whom I’ve spoken with seem generally excited about the prospect of more rapidly acting agents for the treatment of depressive episodes, but with the caveat that data is not there yet to draw any conclusions. And, as with every other treatment for depression, psychotherapy + medication outperforms medication alone. There remains power in the talking cure.
Yes. What's missing from modern life is somewhat intended by corporations and the political elite: the atomizing of people from each other via glowing screens and burning down of community that churches functioned to anchor people together. The multitude of consequences are loneliness, isolation, friendlessness, depression, anxiety and more suicidal than ever. I'm not arguing magical thinking in any form has any inherent value, but the caring about each other and the social commonwealth collectivism, empathy and support it provided are indispensable to sane, decent, good and successful people. The charity, forgiveness and nonviolent disobedience by deed part of many traditional religous traditions embody virtues that to most are inherently inspirational, noble and provide the foundation of civilization as functional, decent and possessing integrity. If we let society devolve into Orwellian, Kafkaesque, social Darwinism, then feudalism, inverted or outright totalitarianism, bullshit and brutality will comprise the primary palette of the social contract.
I think this slightly misses the point though. It's not really that they check GPA, it's that they really messed this guys plans by taking his transcript at the beginning but not checking it until after giving him a verbal offer.

I myself have had negative experiences with the Google recruiting and offer process. I have friends and know people who have had Google recruiting horror stories. Everything from recruiters being over 30 mins late for final interview rounds (which throws off everything), to people being promised one office location but actually be given another after they sign, to the pressure "interns" with non-guaranteed host-matching offers go through. That host-matching system in which students might get a Google internship offer "but not really, cause we'll see if there's a team for you" is honestly not only demeaning, but outright cruel to college students who have to turn down other offers and add that huge weight into the already excruciating stress of school.

Overall I got the sense that Google simply knows it has the leverage and the desirability-- which is true for a lot of SV companies-- but they actually leverage that in their favour by playing the candidate in the way that best suits their needs.

I honestly hope any Google employees reading this raise the issue internally. Once you're out of college it's easy to forget, but stuff like this is very stressing and a huge downer for college kids. And it can be better-- I honestly haven't heard of a company that has so many "recruiting errors" as Google.
What if the ask to back the claims up? They can see if the classes are easy or not but you should have pay stubs /hospital. If you lie you are certainly screwed, if not, you may have a chance.

Sometimes people get carried in the college atmosphere and study enough to pass. Still, I doubt they'd hold geography or painting against you. Maybe Google has an unwritten gpa minimum, unless the candidate is a genius.

I might ask the question if I had big doubts. That said, if somebody walked the gauntlet of typical Google interviewing successfully, I'd be inclined to weight the GPA as being not very important.

More than anything I would think the GPA would be a filter at the beginning of the interview process, not the end of it.

Sadly, we don’t know enough about the brain to have any idea which medications are going to work or what it is people need right away. While you certainly could sedate people to the point of utter apathy by giving every shmiel who walks through the clinic doors high powered anti-psychotics it would be akin to treating a broken toe with amputation.

First line treatments like sertraline and fluoxetine are used because they take time to work and have generally tolerable side-effect profiles. E.g. in the case of patients with undiagnosed bipolar disorder, you run a lower risk of triggering a manic episode.

I find it interesting that there are developers out there that know to look at these nuances when respond to Stack Overflow questions. I'm been developing professionally for 10 years and probably went over branch prediction in my computer architecture class in college (I'm guessing I did, if I didn't then I never encountered it at all!).

I’d rather see an auction, not for the salary, but for a tax “right to hire”, to be paid yearly as long as the H1B is here. That tax should go for college tuition for US students studying in the field of the role being filled by this H1B. Potentially that tax should also be sent straight into social security general fund (not for the H1B holder). If those H1Bs aren’t converted to green cards, then the country will never have to pay out any Social Security benefits, continuing the systems liquidity.
Like today, there were a handful of providers of anonymous hosting and domain service. Satoshi registered the domain and hosted the website via anonymousspeech.com. So no, it's not possible to obtain his identity directly from the domain name.

But there is a potential flaw - anonymousspeech.com used to accept cash-in-mail, but stopped for a while, then started accepting cash again. It is unclear whether Satoshi used cash, or credit card/bank transfer. If he used the latter one for payment, the government can just subpoena all the financial records. But there are evidences to believed he used anonymous deposit. So the answer is still no.

IMHO, by today's standard, Satoshi Nakamoto's anonymity is flawed. A large portion of the infrastructure for anonymity and privacy (Bitcoin!!) didn't exist back to that time, in addition, he didn't demonstrate the extreme rigorous practice of operational security similar to underground blackhat hacking groups, for example, he was using GMX as his main mailbox, which was not known for its security, and obviously it was eventually hacked, etc.

In conclusion, he did enough to obtain a reasonable degree of 2008's anonymity. But his anonymity is saved only because it wasn't/isn't illegal so he wasn't a target in the beginning, and by now time has buried all the traces. It probably won't survive a coordinated takedown by multiple law enforcement agencies (something you can accomplish with a fair chance of success today).

Well said! The old adage; "if something seems too good to be true; it probably is" is a truism. The outliers are very few. The Internet is used to amplify every small exaggeration and falsehood into banner headlines and for some reason even sane people default to believing them. Being sceptical takes effort while belief is wired into our DNA.
While van der Kolk et al. have certainly contributed a great deal to the study of trauma and helped popularise ideas that have been known within the academy, he remains a controversial figure and spends a great deal of the text going off on self-aggrandising tangents. If you’re interested in psychotherapy in general or the interpretation of the human experience through a psychological lens, I would recommend anything picking up one of Rogers, Yalom, Frankl, or Satir’s books.

Many thanks for the correction, and for the comment! It is absolutely likely that delivering the understanding for existing programs is the way to go. Unfortunately I just don't know enough for that yet. It's a hard chicken-and-egg problem: to understand the current stack I need precisely the concepts and tools that I'm trying to work out.

Over the last few years I've switched back and forth between the two extremes. I spent a couple of years off and on learning how operating systems (OpenBSD, Sortix, a little bit of Linux) work. I've gained some hard-won facility for poking around inside GNU package sources. So it's yet possible that I'll find a way to make progress on an existing stack.

It also depends what the criterion for 'success' is when we consider this "strike out vs work within" tradeoff. If the goal is some level of adoption then it's a no-brainer that working with existing platforms is the way to go. But I may be content just to figure out the right answer for myself.

Working within an existing platform requires a time commitment to a single (or a tiny subset) of the many projects that our platforms have balkanized into. After all that time commitment, effecting change from within requires a level of politics that is definitely not my strong suit. These projects have real users and justifiably shouldn't be giving me the time of day anytime soon.

One alternative I've considered is forking a mature platform. It remains on my radar, but at the moment I think the drop-off in benefits the instant I hit 'fork' is way too great. Consider a platform like OpenBSD that frankly is created by way smarter people than myself and is way more mature. The level of adoption it gets from being POSIX compliant is so miniscule; would making incompatible changes really be that counter-productive? It's worth asking if you're baiting big to catch small.

On some level my real target is to change the customs that influence how open source projects are governed. Even if I managed to overcome all the previous hurdles, it still seems impossible within the existing framework to do things like encourage more forks in projects, or convince more people to cull their dependencies, or read their sources. There's just too much baggage. Starting afresh may paradoxically make a new way easier to see.

This is the "idea maze" as I see it. I'd love to hear more, what you think of it.

It's worth remembering that North Carolina has been in the news many times recently for electoral and governmental controversies, including its district map.

One of many sources quoting David Lewis, one of the Republican politicians who made clear their intent:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/2018/08/2...

“I think electing Republicans is better than electing Democrats,” said Rep. David Lewis, a Republican member of the North Carolina General Assembly, addressing fellow legislators when they passed the plan in 2016. “So I drew this map to help foster what I think is better for the country.”

He added: “I propose that we draw the maps to give a partisan advantage to 10 Republicans and three Democrats because I do not believe it’s possible to draw a map with 11 Republicans and two Democrats.”

When voters went to the polls that fall, the 10-3 outcome was exactly as Lewis had predicted, even though Republican candidates won just 53 percent of the statewide vote.

> Every Chinese citizen I've talked to is pro-DragonFly, myself included.

You might want to talk to some Hong Kong people, or even people from Taiwan, if they are still considered "Chinese" for this matter.

A real concern for HK/Taiwan people is, what if CCP demands Google to turn over HK/Taiwan user's data? Do you think Google can push back by saying "nah we don't think HK/Taiwan is part of China"?

Also as a Chinese myself, I'm in the "meh" camp on Dragonfly. Baidu does have its own problems, but for Chinese people Bing has always been there. How much difference does it make? For Google, if launching Dragonfly would damage the "Google" brand's image and reputation, is Dragonfly going to bring enough benefit to offset such damage?
Presumably, if this were really implemented, the way it would work would be something like this: you'd upload your legal documents to the blockchain, and sign them with your private key, your notary's/lawyer's public keys, the realtor's public keys, and the hash of the previous owner's legal documents, and so on.

But of course this isn't really a blockchain, it's just a CMS with a PKI interface.

Electron apps are pretty miserable in general.
Because companies are run by execs who only care about costs to deliver a product and DGAF about any of those things. I’ve seen this exact problem over and over. Usually it’s some “Growth Team” that is empowered by management to “pursue promising opportunities” and mostly consist of charming newbie execs, who propose wildly implausible changes that the engineering team does not have the patience to shoot down; or get tired of shooting down over and over again. So they try to circumvent it by trying these shenanigans.

It shouldn’t be surprising but it kinda shocks me how many American tech companies keep making these mistakes. The ones that avoid them seem to be ones whose execs have prior engineering background.
China could take over Taiwan in a month or less if they really wanted to though, so I wouldn't count on that being an obstacle if China and the USA get into a real war

Not much actually. You need to make auth work which means knowing some secrets stored on the SIM card. You can buy your own custom cards or probably use eSIM (however I haven’t tried option 2).
Replace the word blockchain with database and describe how your example works any differently. I'll give you a hint: it doesn't. There is nothing in your example that requires the use of a blockchain. If that beef was tracked in a standard database they would still need to buy beef that was "legit" as far as the database is concerned if they wanted to make a legit claim.

Tracking external assets requires trust, period. And that being the case, what advantage does blockchain bring to the solution?
The west won’t go free. Heatwaves have been killing thousands for the past decades in Europe, and extreme weather is really fucking with America.

Being near the cost isn’t necessarily worse than being inland as the sea can help regulate the extreme temperatures. I live in a costal city which basically sits around 100meters above sea level, on a good foundation, so the higher amount of rainfall and increasing sea levels aren’t really a worry. I work in another city 40km in land. In the winter my work place can be absolutely frozen while my hometown sits around 0 degrees, and vice versa in the summer. We had a really bad heatwave this summer, but it was 5 degrees worse at my work place than my home.

But basically you’re only going to be fine if you live as far north as Canada or northern Germany.

You’re spot on about climate refugees though. Syria was/is a war about water control, and now Yemen is in the same boat.

The real worry isn’t that though. It’s all the methane gas locked in the permafrost. It might make the air unbreatheable to humans, and then the rest really won’t matter.
