Because people who didn't ever taken a drug have never felt nearly this bright and this happy and such intensity of pleasant feelings and mental capacity is far outside of boundaries of their imagination. Once an addiction-prone person experiences that it's possible they will never want to feel ordinary again. Also, if they do it wrong (and they usually do, unfortunately so many people choosing to try drugs don't care to do research nor to spare money on supplements that are going to protect their health during the experience and help to recover after it) they are going to experience hangover caused by their body resources depletion and receptors disregulation, feel particularly bad and hurry to fix this with just another dose of the same substance taken the same (or even worse) way that caused that. I took the way depicted in the "limitless" movie (not to the point of becoming a politician :-) though) and given it up completely shortly after (as I prefer the normal state and don't really like to stress myself and undermine my health that way) but many people who are less rationally-minded, less psychologically-developed and have less-satisfying lives just go junky and I believe many of them could be saved by just being educated (not scared) better. I really don't recommend anybody to try drugs but whoever already takes them or is going to do anyway - search trough and read the darn Reddit, Quora etc thoroughly!

It is also important to emphasize that that's about just a single class of drugs you've mentioned. Popular psychedelics, although able to induce even stronger sensations usually don't cause even psychological addiction (although there are some rare people who start taking them every weekend, a normal person will hardly feel like repeating the experience soon and any kind of regular - it's just too intense psychologically and there also is tolerance, the acid wears off in some hours and won't really work until the next week) and (except some of them) hardly cause any harm (unless you're a psycho already - then you may happen to go nuts completely) or hangover. Opiates, at the same time, don't make you bright but just give a strong sense of relief kind of "I just feel good and uck everything absolutely" yet cause powerful physiological addiction, severe hangovers and serious risk of lethal overdose.

I have a similar story. It wasn't a phase. It was a daily occurrence for 2 decades. On a good day, it's easy to tell that voice to go to hell. On a day with depressive triggers... those suggestion cut deep, and deepened every spiral I'd find myself on.

I found a clean source, I get it tested independently. I take a few milligrams once every 1-4 weeks, depending on my stress / trauma load. Early on, I'd take some whenever the voice came back. Now I've learned what the edge feels like, I dose early enough to maintain silence.

I understand why pharmaceutical companies wanna keep this as a last resort. I've seen the treatment programs -- they're k-hole doses; nothing like what's been working for me. But there's no profit regimines like mine. And maybe it won't work more often than a placebo. But it's worked for me and that's what matters.

And Iceland. https://www.ft.com/content/abf583de-9546-11dd-aedd-000077b07...

To be fair, they are Vikings, which probably counts as both pirate and terrorist, though I'd say it is a bit of a delayed response as the Icelandic haven't gone a'viking in simply ages.

As an aside, I have run into a few people recently who claim to be both vikings and anti-immigration, which I cannot help but find really funny.
My father, who lives on the NC coast, has monarch caterpillars all over his milkweed right now. It’s very late for them to be there. Let’s hope they make it before the weather gets too cold!
You just made my week. This is exactly what I’ve been wishing I could find.
Video is big. Numbers that sound large like "1 terabyte" are easily consumed by streaming video, even at 1080p. Multiply by the number of active streaming devices in your home, and then account for all other internet usage. It adds up fast.

Comcast is looking to recoup some of the income they've lost from cord-cutters by targeting users whose bandwidth consumption looks suspiciously like video. They seem committed to getting you to pay them for TV/video content one way or the other, while simultaneously discouraging further cord-cutting by raising the specter of potentially-unpredictable overages.
If you want to see where the Monarch butterflies migrate to in the winter and what such a thing looks like, there's a great reserve near the city of Angangueo, Mexico (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angangueo). 3.5hr bus ride from Mexico City.

You get up in the morning and take a taxi higher into the mountains to the reserve, getting out and walking further up the mountain's roped off trail.

The trail terminates into a small, flat observation area. And if you go early enough, you might wonder where the hell all the butterflies are. But on closer inspection of the tall trees around you, you'll notice most of what you thought were leaves and bark are really clumps and clumps of sleeping (and half-frozen?) butterflies.

Once the sun comes out, these masses of butterflies seem to wake up and stretch their wings, warming them up before descending the mountain in one never-ending flock, landing in a grassy clearing (about 50m back down the trail) to drink from a stream and frolic in the sun. Butterflies will be everywhere, swooping past you in incredible numbers or landing on you -- especially if you're wearing bright colors.

Cool experience, charming little town, and beautiful landscape. As things become more dire for these little guys, might be worth a visit.

I thought Angangueo would've been warm since it's a migratory winter destination, but it's super cold and colder than most of the climates the butterflies abandoned in the north. The place we stayed at had no hot water or fireplace. But a little bit of adversity, like seeing your own breath while trying to fall asleep, makes a travel experience a little richer upon recollection. :)

In sketchup you can draw something (rectangle, circle, line) and after you drag and release, you can then just type exact size in iches that you want, it will resize what you just drew. Makes architectural or woodworking design extremely fast and easy to work with. Sketchup basically has a monopoly on the casual woodworking, interior designer crowd because there is not an easy to use alternative. But the app sucks in so many ways and is way overpriced and the current company seems to just want to milk it for profits than improve it. Sketchup users are dying for an alternative.
Ask HN: Advice for medical doctor in tech field?
I am a med school grad looking to transition in working for a start up, I have 2 year clinical experience and would assume I could use my skills in the marketing side of a startup, is there any specific place that would be a good fit for me where I can learn marketing skills and maybe put an extensive science background to use. I am looking to transition more into the marketing field after graduation, but am not sure what positions would be best suited for me since I don't have a coding/sales background. I studied digital marketing for a while and would like to advance that skillset.

How is this different from Rosetta Code?
The analysis fails because it looks only at technical and cultural determinants for what is primarily an economic process.

To counter this with my own dubious and oversimplified explanation, Microsoft did not fail because it has created a monopoly, a walled-off ecosystem they control, and they managed to protect it in most desktop segments. Google has it's own monopolies, as do all of the successful companies that are still around. Microsoft's failure to extend their monopolies into mobile and web costed them the crown of the tech industry, but they're far from dead.

Apple rebooted solley on it's iPhone walled garden - their desktop was moribund and the iPod, while an inovative product and short term cash cow, was not conducive to a monopoly, so it was quickly duplicated and made obsolete. Yahoo was not able to create and maintain its monopolies, so it's dead.
So did I, but I stuck around because I enjoyed the ad-free part.

Unnecessary traffic for satellites.
Indeed. Anyone interested in this might want to read "Outside the Closed World: On Using Machine Learning For Network Intrusion Detection" which goes into some of the reasons why all these ML security tools have remained toys. https://www.icir.org/robin/papers/oakland10-ml.pdf

Abstract: In network intrusion detection research, one popular strategy for finding attacks is monitoring a network’s activity for anomalies: deviations from profiles of normality previously learned from benign traffic, typically identified using tools borrowed from the machine learning community. However, despite extensive academic research one finds a striking gap in terms of actual deployments of such systems: compared with other intrusion detection approaches, machine learning is rarely employed in operational “real world” settings. We examine the differences between the network intrusion detection problem and other areas where machine learning regularly finds much more success. Our main claim is that the task of finding attacks is fundamentally different from these other applications, making it significantly harder for the intrusion detection community to employ machine learning effectively. We support this claim by identifying challenges particular to network intrusion detection, and provide a set of guidelines meant to strengthen future research on anomaly
detection.
There is a common category of misguided book review that the parent comment falls under: the reviewer has some particular things they are looking for from a book and fails to see that there are more uses for it than their own; so they generalize, reading the book's failures to meet their personal criteria as a failure intrinsic in the book's content, and mistakenly lambaste the work.

> 19 pages of droning before you start with something concrete.

One person's "droning" may be another person's "rare, illuminating presentation"; we are not all interested in the same things. I can offer another perspective that what the author wrote on polynomials within the first 19 pages there is in fact pretty unique and interesting.

> Imprecise definitions. This defeats the purpose of learning mathematics.

The commenter is again taking a minority viewpoint and baselessly extending it. There is a special kind of paranoia that often manifests in discussions of mathematical pedagogy that any departure from perfect rigor will weaken the minds of students. This is a blatantly shallow and one-sided view of things: the fact that rigor has value does not imply that the most effective method of teaching—which is a matter of both mathematics and human psychology—is to offer nothing but the most rigorous presentation possible.

This particular book is explicitly targeted at helping to transition programmers into mathematics. Given that goal, do you really think the pedagogically superior approach would be to offer a more rigorous definition of polynomial than:

"A single variable polynomial with real coefficients is a function f that takes a real number as input, produces a real number as output, and has the form: f(x) = a0 + a1x + a2x^2 + ... + anx^n"

—in the introductory chapter of the book?

I would urge potential readers to take the parent comment with a grain of salt. And also, if you're among this book's target audience and trying to teach yourself mathematics, be aware of such personalities preaching this particular dogma of mathematical instruction: it's fairly common on the internet. But it basically represents the same corner of the mathematics world as that of the programming world where folks insist on using nothing but VI/Emacs on Linux with C++ and/or Haskell, and are all too ready to belittle any alternatives perceived as softer/weaker. These aren't necessarily the most impressive programmers—they just project the most intimidating auras. Don't let their counterparts in mathematics scare you off.
That's not at all the point I was trying to make. Indeed, if you check my other comment, both the books I give as an example have precisely the feature of being self-contained. Landau's Mechanics starts with the basic concept of a particle. Cohen-Tannoudji's Quantum Mechanics starts with the simplest possible description of the double-slit experiment. Again, they assume no prior knowledge about what they are trying to teach (wouldn't be much of a textbook about the subject if it did require previous knowledge about the subject, now would it? :))
This, the octopus is choosing its shelter based of fluid reasoning, while the arthropods are doing it in a reflexive instinctual manner.
Curiously the same applies to imaging sensors. They used to be inverse (front-illuminated), for process reasons, but everse (back-illuminated) sensors have better sensitivity and lower noise (but are harder to manufacture).

A notable advantage of everse eye construction is the complete absence of a blind spot, which is where all the wiring passes through the sensor surface. (Image sensors never had that problem because they are connected at the edges).
Iran is, probably, better off with their nuclear program delayed.

In any case, the damage to Iran from the hack was not as significant as building collapse.
I really wish this book would include probability and statistic sections. My guess is that a lot of people, like me, will want to read it because they're getting started with ML and need help getting used to the math, and probability/stats is an important part of it that's missing.

Any chance you could add it in the future?

"A hair color or favorite snack isn’t going to be helpful."

It's about humanizing the product design process, don't pay any mind to extraneous information like hair color etc. At the end of the day, personas should be representative of the people you are developing products for and that's inherently valuable to the product development process and all the people involved who don't have a chance to be in front of users and get a feel for their needs, which determine how successful your product will be when they are aligned with what you are coding.

Listening to audiobooks while you sleep? Please do elaborate?

Do you feel like you get subconsciously smarter by hearing content during sleep? Is there a reason for listening to books while sleeping?

For me, lack of attention is a key reason why I don't listen to audiobooks. I can read and focus on the content, but when it's just played back to me I'll lose track of it.

When I was a kid it was normal to see a few dead monarchs in the grill of dad's car. So was having a dozen house flys indoors.

Nowadays I never see a monarch and I can leave the windows of the house open all day and not see a fly or any bugs for that matter.
Even today, Europe is far more diverse than the US in the sense that culture doesn't travel far: traveling a few hours by train in any direction from where you were born could easily put you in a place where you don't speak the language and where cultural practices, while nominally Christian, were markedly different with regards to dates and times, things people ate, what counted as legitimate use of a public place and so on. The US is much more homogeneous than Europe with regards to these kinds of criterion, which in practice greatly impacts government administration.

Switzerland is like this but turned up a notch -- an hour's travel by train is usually enough to land in areas with mutually incomprehensible spoken languages, even when they are both nominally German.

This is not entirely true. Yes, Ballmer made many mistakes, but he also architected one of the most sustainably profitable enterprise software businesses (on the heels of all MS software products we love to hate). These enterprise customers are more than knees deep with Microsoft, and deep account penetration bought at least 5 years for Satya to steer the ship in the right direction (giving up on B2C mobile, Windows obsession, etc.)

One of the most common biases I see in how we assess leaders is how we try to attribute success & failure to a single person at a discrete point in time (ex: Here in the US, the extreme Left claims Trump is taking credit for Obama's foundational effort for the economy while the extreme Right says it's all Trump). In reality, it is never that simple nor discrete but rather complex and continuous.
Africa is a mess for a number of reasons. Western imperialism is probably the biggest, but there are plenty of other. Tons of deadly parasites and diseases and a general lack of good arable land in most places are also significant factors.

If 75 is a failing grade, then perhaps the average is merely shifted where you are compared to me. The thrust of my comment wasn't the precise value for the average, but that deviations from this average would be detected and reprimanded. Would you say this is accurate? Would you receive notice from administration is the average was found to be, say, 95%?

This is admittedly a more likely explanation for harvard's higher grades then the one I offered.
