A water-splitting catalyst unlike any other
> Due to the non-random sample, as well as the lack of placebo control, it could be argued that sub-acute enhancements are due to uncontrolled factors such as psychological expectations, or the environment in which the drug is taken.

Indeed. The setting of the retreat (“After ingestion, participants were instructed to stay on the premises, and were able to do what they wanted, as long as they did not disturb other participants. Facilitators provided music, tools to draw and/or write, and food. In the evening, all participants and facilitators came back together as a group.”) might have had a significant effect on the results. These should be, at least, compared to a similar retreat where no psilocybin is ingested.

Otherwise, the effects could come solely from the environment, e.g., a calm and relaxing retreat far from a busy life.
As far as I've seen, these tools are indeed useful. But you are right about the lock-in. I think this is perfect for non-developers (of small budgets), allows them to create a "basic" website, but sometimes you just require another framework.
Steam functions as an OpenID provider, so external vendors could (theoretically) use Steam logins for their platforms.

The problem with "competing platforms" is that they're mostly not competing platforms. Recently Metro: Exodus was pulled from Steam store to be sold as an exclusive on the epic store. This is not competition, this is a monopoly on distribution of a title.

When different platforms emerge where most platforms have most titles (or offer DRM free like GoG or Humble Bundle), then we will have actual competition.

typical diet in Italy has nothing to do with the typical diet in Germany.

That's not really true. Both build a lot of their meals around a boiled starch, a grilled or fried protein and a vegetable dish, often prepared separately. It is not uncommon that this dish is primarily made up of raw vegetables. The starch and protein component almost always makes up the bulk of the meal. Both use a lot of dairy based sauces and/or a sauce made by thickening a meat stock (either pre-made or by de-glazing the pan they fired their protein in). Bread and other baked goods are a common component in many meals in both counties, often served with vegetable or dairy fat.

Low latency for us means we can't spend 100+ ms on a round trip to an external server / hosted solution.

That is false analogy as you're opposing fixed-function devices - lamp and power - to a device which in principle has an unlimited number of functions. Even if it could also contains an unlimited number of buttons this would still not make it usable in situations where the user has to divide his attention between the device and some other task of higher importance like flying the aircraft and keeping sight of the opponent. That is just why they came up with this interface since it combines the advantages of haptic memory - button three on the left side does this in that situation - with unlimited functionality. All that it takes is a sure way to get the device in 'that situation' and a modicum of experience. A touch screen will never have this possibility as the user always needs to look at the screen to guide the digit to the target - unless the whole screen is turned into a single button of course.

Buttons on the side of the screen are not the correct user interface for all activities, as an example they would be inconvenient for browsing the web [1] and useless to sign for delivery of a parcel.

[1] ...but not impossible: number the links on the screen as if they are footnotes, number the buttons on the side, click the button which lies next to the desired number. If there are more links than there are buttons the last button can be used to select the next set of numbers. If there are zillions of links the last two buttons can be used to page through sets of numbers. Inconvenient, maybe, but it would work.

> The truffle sample (15 grams; Psilocybe Hollandia) contained 1.9 mg of psilocybin and 10.5 mg of psilocin. Participants ingested an average (SD) 34.2 (8.9) grams of truffles throughout the day.

Is that equivalent to 15 grams of dried mushrooms? If so that is a serious dose (over 1/2 an ounce!), there would be breakthroughs and breakdowns happening left and right given that amount.

Seems unlikely that participants (particularly first timers) would ingest such a large quantity, even when spread out over a number of hours.

Perhaps if one only drank the tea the effects wouldn't be as extreme as both drinking the tea and eating the remnants, but still, I'd have some concerns if the facilitator presented 15 grams to me and said something along the lines of, "now don't worry, just drink the tea and eat the rest, everything's going to be just fine [after you get through the maelstrom phase]" :)

Any mice trial should use 4 different breeds: one of the academic hallmark (black6 or balb/c) for publication purpose, one that represent your model (or so you think) because that’s the logical thing to do, and a truly wild type one (captured in the wild) to capture the noise.

Even this bias longevity piece needs to do that. This 4 breeds will all have different immune system, cognitive behavior and lifestyles, which are all central to aging.

I've lived in Seattle my whole life and the only bathrooms with codes I can think of off the top of my head are at Uwajimaya and Starbucks. The Thai place across from the restrooms at Uwajimaya has the code prominently displayed on a cardboard sign and we all know the new policy at Starbucks. Oh, the sketchy McDonalds on 3rd makes an employee buzz you in, but the other McDonalds a few blocks away has open restrooms. Dunno where gp is hanging out.

Also I have yet to see human excrement in the street, though I hear this is a big problem in SF.
This all makes sense! I’ve heard there is a similar effect for single cell research, where a lot of the study of human cells says that they are full of support structures and making all kinds of chemical signals that actually are a stress response to being placed on a piece of glass rather than floating in liquid. Kudos to these researchers for making an honest attempt to get it right.

In fairness, I tend to see two types of responses:

One of the kind you mention - “the article actually says ...”, in which the respondent goes to the effort of basically summarizing the article OP didn’t bother to read. Those generally catch moderate upvotes.

Then there’s the more blunt variety, along the lines of RTFM. Those catch solid downvotes.

Frankly, I’d rather neither existed, and posts that clearly didn’t bother looking at anything but the headline were just flagged and deleted.
Not sure about the weight concentration in truffles, but for fresh mushrooms, if my memory doesn't fail me, the weight for a similar psilocybin dosage is about 10:1, so 50g of fresh mushrooms would be the equivalent of 5g of dried ones.

God no, I've seen two code bases where this happened and each time the tests were rubbish because they didn't understand the domain.

Model animals are used in researches mostly due to two reasons: cost, which is always a big hurdle for academic studies; and reproduction, especially for inbred mice. The use of inbred mice often is because the behavior and activity of the mice is well-characterized, high availability, and genetically more consistent. However, the second part nowadays is often challenged and they are not that consistently genetically as researches show. For drug development, the very first step is to create an animal model, however, this one also is difficult, since more often than not one cannot generate animal model replicates all symptoms, this could mean a model without the actual cause. I think this is also a reason why genetic studies of diseases nowadays is still a hot field, from there one can make an animal model and test whether that gene is the real cause in more confidence.

It's developer nature to look at any code and think that -- especially your own! Or if you prefer the abstraction, perhaps to consider that "myself 3 months ago" is a different person than "myself today".

Every time I've gazed upon a new legacy codebase and said "This looks like junk", the system architect responded "Yes -- that's why you're here!"

> I think it's worth keeping in mind that most people don't live in SF and most people wouldn't get a job at FAANG. People work at startups often because their reasonable alternative is working at a dev shop or the back office of SomeBigCo.

Even outside of SF there are a whole gulf of positions out there that fall somewhere between a dev shop / "back office of SomeBigCo" and starts ups. Plus sometimes "back offices" can be pretty rewarding too if the person in charge of that office has fostered the right kind of work environment.

If depression were so easy to treat it would hardly qualify as a mental illness. I think the purpose of the pleasant, relaxed setting was more to ensure the psilocybin had positive rather than negative effects on the participants. It's a precaution, like how in radiation therapy you point the radiation at the tumor rather than adjacent vital organs.
That's a move some creators are at least seriously preparing for. And building a patreon user base is a good step for that.

>> and the screen could be way, wayyyy better.

When I'm driving, I want to concentrate on the road and on driving. Tell me, why the steering wheel is not just a picture on a touchscreen? When I'm changing gears, switching on the lights, opening windows, I have physical buttons and knobs, I can just do all that still driving and watching the road. I don't want to gaze at the touchscreen while driving. In many countries using phone kept in hand while driving is illegal, because it causes many accidents when people concentrate more on the screen than on driving.

I wanted to buy a new car, all that I saw have the new touchable interfaces. That's terrible and unsafe.
What you said about the water companies is not correct.
They are regulated on the basis of price - the regulator sets a pricing formula for the industry RPI + X (i.e. X is the annual price increase above inflation).

There are no caps on profit.

The reason why companies carry large amounts of debt is that debt finance is much cheaper than equity. Given that a utility has stable cashflows, it makes sense for it to use a high proportion of debt finance.

I'm not sure the OP was so much fearful of working with legacy code, but rather fearful of corrupting the resume to the point it makes you un-marketable as a programmer.

When making hiring decisions many organisations put great emphasis on the specific skill sets detailed in the resume.

As such it can become dangerous if you end up with a resume dominated with legacy coding skills.
Truffles are less potent than mushrooms, so you need to more or less double the dosage. I would think that the 15 grams of truffles then would be equivalent to about 7-8 grams of dried mushrooms. Since it was ingested throughout the day, I would assume that's dosages equivalent to 1-3 grams spread out through the day.
> Yes, and since what comes from an alternator is AC, you don't need an inverter, but a simple transformer to step the voltage up or down.

I probably should have said AC-to-AC convertor rather than inverter.

My problem with that is if your using a permanent magnet generator then the voltage generated is proportional to the speed and then how do you know how to size your wiring and your transformer? It's probably not that big a deal and the answer is probably somewhere along the lines of 'leaving plenty of room for error'.

In short though, I don't think it's quite as simple as just connect a generator and some wires to heat the water.

The two patients with most serious side-effects experienced dehydration and hyponatremia. This supports my view that it's important to maintain electrolyte balance during fasting (or other types of dieting like low-carb). When doing these kinds of practices I usually add some salt to water (or other electrolyte solutions if needed although there might be some sugar in them).

I think this should help with the common complaints they saw like headache, fatigue, even the cardiovascular related issues. I gotta admit that as far as 'insomnia' goes I don't think electrolytes will help with that... you probably need some combination of fat/protein/carbs to get good sleep.

The shares given to investors often have dilution protection and guarantees as to when the company can sell and what minimum compensation will be given to them if that happens.

They also have protections such as "If the company dies, we will have first claim to any assets of the company"

The reason this is not offered to employees is a combination of fear (if we're being generous) and lack of incentive (the employee often has little leverage and no legal representation to look over contracts).

The end result being - if you have the capital, you have the leverage.

The government should not be engaging in money losing ventures to provide services that private companies will provide at no cost (other than point of service cost) to taxpayers.

If they want to run a jobs program then fine, run a jobs program. Don't pretend your jobs program is an infrastructure program though.

I have no problem with the government spending tax money on things, that's kind of its job, but resources are not infinite (eventually you run out of other people's money). I know this is a much hated opinion among the HN demographic and I won't win internet brownie points for saying it but government should not be spending taxpayer money on services private entities are willing to provide. Government should spend its money on things private industry won't do (like social safety nets, education and funding R%D for things private industry doesn't care about).
