To what extent has it been properly studied? If you're asserting it's a placebo effect, shouldn't that mean you have significant proof no other effect is involved?

I haven't tried it, but I have friends with chronic pain that prefer it to both opiates and OTC painkillers and have for years. That certainly could be placebo, but having seen them cycle through a variety of approaches and stop on CBD, I'd be surprised there's absolutely no effect.
> When you’re communicating with email addresses outside of ProtonMail, their servers will see your emails. Your emails might then be encrypted “at rest”, but they’ve passed through their servers unencrypted anyway.

Decryption is done in the browsers so it's not passing through the servers unencrypted. (ProtonMail is one of the biggest contributors to Openpgpjs).

> To workaround it, for sending to email addresses without a ProtonMail account, AFAIK they also give the possibility to send a link to a ProtonMail interface for decryption.

And you can add the recipient PGP key in ProtonMail settings so it's pure PGP. (I've heard that they're working on Web Key Directory support for automatic contact key retrieval)

> And also web interfaces are inherently insecure for E2E encryption, which ProtonMail encourages.

Not strictly true. The problem is web interface hosted on a foreign host. For a secure web interface see e.g. Mailpile.

There are also other ways of minimizing risk like using Mailvelope that communicates with GnuPG through Native Messaging.

> In other words ProtonMail is anti-standards.

Not for all standards for example ProtonMail is very active in OpenPGP mailing list.

For the record I'm not using ProtonMail but I like that they're promoting PGP by showing that it can be made relatively easy. Too much people think that the UI complexity in PGP is intrinsic.

I would love to hear from someone who actually uses Swift day to day, but everything I read about Swift disappoints me (in the "why was that even a problem in such a modern language??" sense) along with some brief conversations with an iOS developer from a startup I was at for a while. I don't have any specific blog posts I can point to right now but a more defensible point might be why would I pick Swift over Rust, if I wasn't forced to (by doing recent iOS development)?

Features seem to be very similar, but without Rust has/is:

- A more expressive compiler + type system

- Better memory management via the borrowing/ownership paradigm

- More F/OSS friendly, community steered

- Usable from embedded (no runtime) to web services tiers (maybe I just don't know a lot about embedded Swift outside of iOS)

- No cost abstractions

Swift is indeed a huge step forward from Objective-C or some other languages like C++/Java but I don't personally try and use it outside iOS because there are better options. If I'm going to bring a long a runtime why not use Haskell or Golang?

These days if I get to choose my language I spend my time trying to decide between Rust or Haskell -- then again most of my projects are small, and make no money.
Curious how you can call that a strawman without knowing OP's actual position. I mean to be fair I likely misrepresented his ideas but to do otherwise requires a lot of back and forth questions to really understand the positions at hand.

I hope we don't have a long internet argument about what "mass communication" is, that would be a great waste of time.

I just suspect that if facebook didn't exist, message boards and chatrooms would have launched Trump into the white house just the same, and we'd be casting them as a "threat to democracy".

I think the local club/audience dynamics changed. These clubs in the late 80s/early 90s could fill up a small venue with an out-of-state headliner and a few local supporting acts which gave an incentive to regularly do these shows. 10 or 15 years later I think that became far more difficult as fewer people wanted to see loud bands in a small club, which drove the DIY bands back into DIY spaces. I remember the last time I went to TTs in the early 2010s and very few young people were there to see the rock bands.

There were always DIY shows percolating at the edges in the 80s, sometimes with well-known names participating. I saw F.O.D. in wide hallway on the 2nd floor of a beat-up Allston commercial building that was sometimes used for art shows and poetry readings.
Build a portfolio that speaks for your work and experience. Take those projects and make them worth to be shown. That way you can show concrete examples of your work with programming. Make them open source, show them on your github account, that way the interviewer will know that you have an idea of the workflow. Even better if you can get some issue on an already existing project you'd like to contribute, fork the repo, fix it and get it merged (repeat).

That will help a lot, if you fail in a couple of programming questions they can relay on your ability to learn and get things set up and running as your previous projects.
High remittance costs are primarily caused by two things: exchange rates and KYC/AML compliance. I don't see how this would address either of those things.

Even with large & relatively liquidity cryptocurrency the spread to covert to local currency is large.

Right now if I want to get rid of a Bitcoin and get Vietnamese Dong I see rates from 89,286,016.80 to 90,135,312.89. The actual price according to Google is 93,851,364.64. So you're losing 4%, which is already comparable to a traditional remittance (the World Bank says 5% is the average cost for educated users).

Except this new cryptocurrency would be less popular and less liquid than Bitcoin, so the spreads would be higher.
No, water is extremely efficient at conducting heat. Until the creation of synthetic fluids for this purpose, in about the last 25 years, deionized water was the most efficient conductor of heat known. Using a heat based process on the ocean would thus mean heating the entire ocean, which simply isn't viable.

The problem with centralisation is that it enables a kind of corruption: entities can engage in both financial censorship and arbitrary money printing.

That being said a cryptocurrency does not have to be decentralised.

However it is very important to understand the difference.

Today even decentralised cyptocurrencies depend on centralised-exchanges, and the consequence is that despite the constraints built into a blockchain algorithm are able to sell unlimited amount of the crypto to users without actually being in possession of the algorithm-limited crypto.
Wow, that’s a terrible way of conducting an experiment. Having more than 20 seconds to reason through an estimation will produce a much better result if you are any kind of systematic thinker.

In 20 seconds for the Eiffel Tower I’ll just pull a number out of my ass. In 5 minutes I will think through the comparison charts it shows up next to on other high rises. I’ll remember the half scale one in Las Vegas and its relative height to the Bellagio across the strip (about the same) and that the Bellagio was about 40 stories. Given 40 stories at 13 feet per floor, you get 520 ft * 2 = 1040 ft for the Eiffel Tower.

API TRUST Kit by TakeYourCrypto
We believe that “trust” is a main value in any kind of interaction or transaction, and today, thanks to our embedded trust algorithms we bring to any developer or business the power of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology as it was meant to be:

- No guesswork on “who to trust”,
- A safe-by-design environment
- Users keep control over their assets

Thanks to our API TRUSTKit you may easily integrate any public blockchain into your apps, services or products. Just connect your code to the API and we will take care of everything else.

Our APIs provide low-level access tools to the implemented blockchains (currently Ethereum but more are coming soon). Thanks to them, it will be possible to carry out the simplest operations through a set supplied by TYC. Some uses include:

- Financial Transactions
- Document Validation
- Certified Data Transaction
- and much more...

We are sure you are already thinking on how to use our TRUSTKit in your business so hurry and ask for a demo!

>Nobody lives in the Stone Age today. That’s a period of time.

Yes they do. It is a period of technological development. There is no singular timespan that makes up the stone age or bronze age or iron age, those periods are different depending on the people.

>If you’re referring to primitive tribes with no outside world contact

They have outside world contact, they simply choose to continue living the way they prefer instead of adopting modernity.

>then you’ll need to provide evidence and definitions for healthier/happier

The dictionary already does.

>They have high infant mortality rates, they kill disabled children, they die from treatable illnesses, and they starve during bad years.

The first three things are not healthy, and the last thing is false.

>Of course they have mental illness, there is no evidence they are immune to Down syndrome, schizophrenia, or anything else.

Please attempt to read what is being said rather than intentionally taking an obviously contrary definition so you have something to argue about. I am talking about the modern "mental illnesses", note the quotes, like depression and social anxiety which are epidemic in modernity, and do not exist in primitive cultures.

>Ugh, you accidentally forgot to provide any evidence of its harm again

Almost as if this is a discussion and not me publishing a scientific paper. You are welcome to look up the data linking omega 6 polyunsaturated fats to the modern disease epidemic.

Well, at some point people "flocked" to javascript, and they weren't forced to. So it's a good language, then? Or sub javascript for java, or your favourite bashable language.
Something that has been bugging me for a while: Why is cross compiling so hard? After all, compilers are just C programs (or C++/Go/Rust/… programs). It's not like a target implementation is using some magic instructions from the host to generate the assembly, or that it is harder to calculate some 32bit offsets for the compiled program, when the compiler is running on a 64bit host environment.

Or is it about the helper programs / scripts around the core compilation process that are too often hard coded to read out the configuration from the host system? So basically there is no technical hurdle, just the social norm that target arch == host arch, and thus make procedures aren't sufficiently tested for cross compilation from the get go?
No disagreement here from me!

The times we have had to update things have been when the existing modules broke. One example which comes to mind from the recent past is when urllib TLS certificate stuff broke and it needed updating. In that case, it didn't cause collateral damage, but we were forced to do it to keep things working. Externally-enforced changes like this could potentially cause breakage in the future if they drop python 2.7 support directly or indirectly.

Here's the thing, in my opinion, that is the best attitude toward vegetarianism. One of the reasons we still slaughter so many animals, is that there is this misconception that for some reason, vegetarianism is an all or nothing type of thing.
If our culture were more akin to, `I don't like meat like I don't like candy`, animal consumption would drop considerably. Both candy and meat are tasteful, but candy is bad for your body and therefore you will not have it every day. The other is bad for the planet (and your body too!). Yet, you should for some reason either eat it every day, or alternatively never at all.
That was quite an enjoyable read.

It's so interesting that a problem so simple to explain would require hundreds of pages of proof.

I'm really interested in whether the Collatz conjecture will be proven too.

Good way to start from a valid observation - mass shooters tend to have a social media profile covered in red flags, or perhaps none at all - and turn it into a completely unreasonable request that will set back the cause of moderate harm reduction by years.

Well if by music that includes music production:

It's not going to be the only client, but Facebook has the network effects working for them, so it would be pointless or more difficult to use another client. In addition, they'll build services on top of it that are tightly tied into their ecosystem.
I could argue the same about Django too. And Python is expressive, for my money, more expressive than Ruby. Ruby isn't bad but outside of functional languages, nothing beats Python how compactly ideas can be expressed.

I live in a former east german neighborhood in Berlin. When I moved here 10 years ago, lots of apartments were still coal heated. Buildings had lots of dirt on them and you could smell it in the winter. Burning coal creates lots of smelly smog. That's also a huge problem in places like China.

Smog kills people by the millions. It's a slow killer that's why nobody gives a shit. Average lifespan decreases measurably by many years in areas with heavy smog. Living next to a busy street or coal plant is not good for your health.

That's why diesel, coal, etc. need to get banned in a hurry. Suing coal plants for killing their neighborhoods is just as logical going after tobacco companies. It will basically kill that industry in no time. Good riddance; the sooner the better. Meanwhile, make them pay for the damage they do.

People like the indigenous Kitava have no such problems. Because they are not living as an underclass minority in another culture. They have contact with modern people, but they choose to live traditionally.

They do not. Again, see the Kitava. They barely have a concept of work.

Well, that's psychology, and calling it "science" is arguably iffy. I've attended a fair number of seminars in physics, biochemistry and molecular biology. In the right hands, a "dumb question" can be a deadly weapon. And if the presenter is a prospective hire, it's often all the more intense.
