Easy solutions to the drug problem are mostly populism. Unfortunately there is literally no known society-wide cure.

Lots of well-meaning people think that offering rehab to addicts is some type of magic cure. Unfortunately, the average addict has to go through rehab 7 or more times before it 'sticks', and the cost of providing rehab to anyone who needs in it a country the size of the US is about as unrealistic as an AOC economic plan. There is literally not enough money in the federal budget. I think of lots of well-intentioned middle & upper middle-class folks who have never done a hard drug in their life imagine addicts as desperate to get off the drugs. In fact, tons and tons of addicts are at least moderately happy with their situation and not really looking to change. And/or, they enjoy the street lifestyle more than their likely other option of a boring, low-wage life of 40+ hours a week. Source, have tons of family & friends who are lifelong addicts, and I did plenty of hard drugs recreationally myself in my misspent youth (now many years in the rear view mirror).

While I am no fan of the War on Drugs, the Portugal decriminalization story is the classic fallacious argument I see a lot on the left- 'let me compare this tiny culturally homogeneous country of 10 million people to your wildly diverse nation of 330+ million'. Solutions that work in tiny countries often don't scale, and the US is simply culturally different than Portugal around drug abuse.

As a thought experiment- opioids are legal with a prescription in the US, and also kill more Americans every year than died in the Vietnam War. Let's imagine instead that no prescriptions were required, and for the last 20 years anyone 18 or 21+ was able to walk into a store and buy Oxycontin directly off the shelf with zero restrictions. Do you think the death toll from opioids would be higher, lower, or the same than it is now? It would (obviously) be even higher. Americans really enjoy getting extremely high. That's great that people in Portugal appear able to resist the temptation of cocaine/heroin/meth/whatever, but that is clearly not the case in the US.

While I do support more money for rehab and other anti-Drug War policies like federal marijuana legalization, the sad fact is that there are no solutions whatsoever to widespread hard drug abuse. It's a part of American society that's not going away anytime soon. Rehab for everyone and complete drug decriminalization are unfortunately not realistic policies

My paper notebooks were always horrific. Writing has always been painful and awkward for me. But I could type like nobody's business thanks to programming. I survived college in the early 80s by being one of the first students to get a word processor.

By the time I was keeping a notebook, my work was generating mountains of computer readable data, source code, and so forth. We managed by agreeing on a format for data files, where the filename referenced a notebook page, and it worked OK.

Today, it's unavoidable that people are going to keep their notes electronically, and there are no perfect solutions for doing this. Wet chemists still like paper notebooks, since it's hard to get a computer close to the bench, and to type while wearing rubber gloves. Academic workers are expected to supply their own computers, and are nervous about getting them damaged or contaminated. Plus, drawing pictures and writing equations on a computer are both awkward.

Computation related fields lend themselves well to purely electronic notebooks, no surprise. Today, a lot of my work fits perfectly in a Jupyter notebook.

Commercial notebook software exists, but it tends to be sold largely for enterprise use, i.e., the solution it solves is how to control lab workers and secure their results, not how to enable independent, creative work.
Could anybody help me find this theory: humans evolved thanks to timing neurons that helped them throw stuff at prey and enemies. Those neurons also help with dance, all kinds of art and other acts of a civilized creature. I read in in a yellowing book which merges biology and AI.

The concept of “civic hacking” is an error of projection. Because user-generated data is valuable in other areas of tech, techies assume its valuable in civics. Unlike with Internet technology, user-generated data has little value in politics and the law. Knowing that 76% of district courts did something one way has little persuasive value compared to knowing two or three well-reasoned court of appeals opinions. The data is in fact out there-all federal cases are available for free on Google Scholar and various other sites. And nobody has done anything interesting with that information.

That is not to say that politics and law can’t be data driven. But the data we need in those areas is not data you can derive by analyzing user or government generated databases. We need “hard data” such as how different tax policies impact economic growth. That’s not the sort of data analysis “civic hacking” can give us.

Can I use this for static pages
I wish there were more examples on that page though. Where can I test this being used extensively?
Is there a demo somewhere? Beside the actual site that seems really well optimized already.
I disagree with price inflation just because everything is hedged, but it may be true.

The too many trades is if there are 300 algos, and I look in the order book and see different orders from different exchanges at the same price point, then I would be adapting to see what's happening, not myself, but there are people who watch order flows.

I don't paper trade, either it works in production with real money or not. Have to get a feel for spreads, commissions, and so on.

Also, in my case, I am hesitant to even use paid services as someone can be watching it, so most my tools are made by me. Good luck with your trading though, if it works out, let me know, I'd pay to use it along side my other trades.
They have a history of being misleading too. Aside from the delivery fee and tip, there's also a service fee, and in some cases, a "small order fee". And, sometimes they pad the restaurant prices too. And the UI is pretty good at hiding these things. Pulling up an itemized receipt, for example, is an extra step beyond looking at a past order.

It was an attempt at trolling by someone who should not have been trolling.
That is completely correct. In lisp, the fact that syntax is so flexible enables the addition of a lot of functionality on top of the base language. Types and related functionality (checks, enforcement, conversion, etc.) is one of those things; but if everything is executed on top of pairs, there is a performance penalty that you may avoid if you provide more efficient data structures from the onset with a not-so-minimal implementation (such as clojure providing vectors, where you dont search a list in linear time). My “just” above meant that if you can do it slowly in the upper abstraction level, providing it in the lower one is basically an optimization.

In any case in second thought what I said is not completely true, as there are things you may need to do in compile time and the minimal implementation does not provide macros.
Did you read the page? It uses touchstart events on mobile.
I am so intrigued how a naked picture can cause so much fuss in our society. We were born naked and everyone has likely seen other naked bodies.

I am oversimplifying a bit, but, maybe, some years from now, it simply wouldn't matter if people saw you naked online. Wonder if in Europe cultures where is common to have naked scenes in TV all the time it matter as much.
What did you tried already? Did you try CBT?
Despite doing most of the work necessary to make the restaurant function, line cooks are generally not included in tip pools. Worse, in same places they are even excluding from being part of tip pools despite not making much more than the waitstaff (on a pre-tip basis).

This strikes me as a very weird document, it contains some good advice about keeping a detailed and accurate record. It links to a cool story about why this is important (http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~bioslabs/tools/notebook/ringerstory...).

Then separately it has the whole thing that reads like it's about a protocol to prove you aren't committing fraud. Except it's hard to imagine circumstances outside of undergraduate classes where anyone is going to read your notebook trying to convict you of committing fraud. It's also hard to see how this advice helps because it just makes fraud slightly harder, now instead of editing in place you have to edit by copying things over to a new notebook.
I mean no doubt they're in an unhappy position, mostly of their own doing. They tried to modernize with Edge and did a great job building a modern browser. But it wasn't enough. They were already entrenched in a terrible reputation for having terrible browsers, and for years did nothing serious to mitigate that. On top of their failure to get more people on Edge IE is still kicking around the web and heavily integrated into legacy enterprise software. I had to build a website for some real estate agents and their office was still using IE. Edge was installed but somehow they were all still using IE and they had no idea other people were using other browsers. They mired a lot of non-technical people with their own outdated products.
That’s true, but do you have any examples that you can share with us? I’d be curious to read more about these companies and how they got to where they are.
How is Prime going to know you tipped cash?
Wow that article was.... a little crazy? Very disorganized and making a lot of weird assumptions.
Yeah. I used TI-RTOS a couple of years ago for some work and the whole experience was very different. The most unique part was that the RTOS came bundled with a development GUI integrated into the IDE where you could create threads, mailboxes and other such RTOS primitives. I don't think I liked using it very much though.

Surprised to see that they killed the project.

The basics of the spectre exploit were discoverable 20 years ago and run deep, to the very core of branch speculation. This is nothing but marketing for risc-v and rambus, there's no magic in risc-v that prevents spectre except that the ecosystem is so primitive that they barely have any speculative processors...

We could have found the spectre exploit 20 years ago. To me, the fact that we didn't until now is maybe the most interesting thing.
Also, how this can be free?

I thought CloudFlare was charging workers based on number of requests.
Care to elaborate on MSCI? I've looked at some of the returns for at least one of their ETF's and I'm not seeing 10x growth even with them paying dividends at a reasonable sum, am I just not savvy enough with investing or something? I must be missing something.

Edit: I didn't account the increase of the value in the stock, saw one that doubled in value, so if someone had invested in it when it opened they would of gotten back twice what they invested, still not necessarily 10x but it's not bad for a safe low risk investment.
Having worked at a payments company and helped evaluate anti-money laundering (AML) software with ex-commercial bank compliance people, I should not have been surprised but still was of how manual and subjective the entire AML investigative process is.

At a high level, it's just a bunch of business rules that trigger a massive number of alerts that you then have analyst review one by one (and clear 99%+) without any more action. When you do come across something, you file a Suspicious Activities Report (SAR) to the gov't among other things.

Very clear to me there's a market for a SaaS with some AI/ML/automation capability to reduce false positives and more easily investigate cases. The bar is very low.
Well it says that it must be mixed with 40% of Asian ethanol.

Let's say you're an American company and you have a contract to supply 1 million litres to a Chinese customer. If you want to avoid tariffs you now have to use only 600,000 litres of American ethanol where you would have used 1 million before.

It may not end up that much a drop in the end, but it clearly encourages to use less American ethanol.
>"Because you (customers in the US) cannot stop that practice without businesses pro-actively ending that practice en-masse. Some idealists have tried to run their business without tipping and paying a fair wage, but those initiatives tend to remain marginal (if they endure at all) because the average US customer dislikes paying the full (and naturally higher) price of a product or service up-front without the tip."

Danny Meyer, a very prominent restauranteur in the US eliminated tipping in favor of a "hospitality included" model. That was in 2015. It has endured since. His restaurants are among some of the best in NYC. He's stated repeatedly that customers are quite happy with it. See:

Almost none of those things you listed are extremist right wing. Politics are way too polarized and you're proof of that.

I'm not even sure what you mean by anti-feminist but I'll guess "hate women and their rights", which I'll say leftists are guilty of disrespecting and sending threats to conservative women with "incorrect opinions".

And anti-democracy is a funny point to bring up because a lot of far leftists from reddit are very pro communist and hate democracy.

On top of all this, you lump in anti-left and anti-liberal with your other categories of "evil", making anti-right and anti-conservative the good guys. Your bias is showing, and you're alienating political moderates in the center. This is why people are not voting the way you want them to.
Measuring Output! Especially true for which their job require more thinking than actual labour. It doesn't matter how much time he spent on it, as long as it gets done.

The moment those companies decide to play politics we, as a society, have already invented numerous methods of getting rid of the abusers of power.

And let’s be honest: neither of those companies are making such a huge difference that we would ceise existing as a society if they perished. We would take a hit, but we would still function.

Yes the study suggest high fat diets may effect insulin sensitivity....so long as the test subjects are consuming carbs ALSO and triggering insulin. In other words the didn’t test effects of high fat diets while subjects were otherwise avoiding insulin spikes.

So yes eating fats is an issue while eating carbs and spiking insulin. You won’t find a single medical case of T2D where the subject hasn’t repeatedly spiked insulin with carbs/sugar.
Is the claim that these apps have special deals and APIs with Google and Apple to access this data?

"The alternative is to take a lot more risk than you want to or are allowed to take"

What DC scheme wouldn't let you put say 100% in shares?

Or if not you could take the currency risk on yourself, and buy US shares.

Want to take? That's an interesting question. I would contend that if bonds are yielding 0.08%, they're probably overpriced and thus too risky to buy.

100% agree. Worse; using deep learning to "find" alleged non-human ancestors is probably a case study in baloney "research" results.

Go look at how Neanderthal admixture was discovered by Patterson's group; they used F-tests. If you can't find it using an F-test, you can't find it using dweeb learning, which is always going to be less data efficient than a simple hypothesis testing technique.

TIPS bonds are one of the safest instruments. A regular bond can be as risky as stocks, whether traded short term or held to maturity. What people get with bonds, depending on the rating, is something short of a guarantee they'll get principle back with the agreed upon interest - but can you really accurately assess risk over 10 years? 30 years? There's widespread agreement that corporate bonds aren't paying enough compared to the risk, and yet people continue to invest in it.

Typically, lisps will implement their lists internally in terms of a VList[1] or similar data structure, which has some of the benefits of both linked lists and vectors, and the downsides of each are minimized. VLists are [O(1) cons, car, cdr, index average] and [O(log N) length, index worst case], making them a pretty good all-rounder. There is also improved cache locality as compared to a linked-list.
