Zarate is quoted in the article and is one of the authors of Ketamine for Treatment Resistant Depression. A great book that will give you quite a bit of background.

I take ketamine with a prescription at home. If anyone here knows someone who is going to an IV clinic I can give out my doctor's information. He's taking new patients and is okay with me giving out his e-mail.

When you're depressed it's easy to overlook the financial implications of spending $500 for an IV. And then you end up in financial trouble. I tried to contact Brooke, but I think I may have been too late...

For high demand positions it's not necessarily a matter of turning down the job.

As a tech worker, I've had success in negotiating contract amendments to limit the scope of non-competes or overly broad IP assignment clauses. Hiring takes a lot of time, and many employers are willing to budge on contract terms to save the expense/hassle of starting the recruiting process from scratch.

Obviously this is only possible if you work in an industry where you're sufficiently in-demand and thus have some negotiating power.
It's great to see Uber finally admit this publically. I support public transit for three reasons...

Social equity - Equalizer for everyone rich or poor (In cities with good systems)

Economic sustainability - Most sustainable form of subsidized mobility

Improve urban living - Reduce congestion / improve mobility in urbanized areas

Uber may be able to get close to #1 by burning more and more VC / IPO $$, but 2 and 3 are much harder for them to reconcile.

So, today in 2019, I can buy 100% clean renewable electricity, from the local heavily-regulated electrical utility. The "market rate" price of this is exactly 1 cent extra, per kilowatt hour. - https://www.consumersenergy.com/-/media/CE/Documents/renewab...

According to the US EIA, the average household uses about 867kwh per month. Most Michigan households could switch to 100% renewable electricity, for a real-world price of $8.67 extra per month. That's it. No fees, no installation, no new equipment. Literally check one box, get 100% renewable energy.

---

I know Michigan is not British Columbia. I am aware these costs vary by region. I know not everyone can afford this, and that it is a position of privilege to be able to spend an extra $9/month on fancier electricity. But the cost here is literally cheaper than Netflix, and it prevents about 1.2 tons of CO2 from hitting the atmosphere (per household, per month).

I don't think I'm exaggerating at all, when I say we really have all the tech we need, and we really just need to deploy it everywhere. Yes, it costs more. But only a little bit more, for such a huge benefit, it seems like an obvious thing we should be doing.
Same here! I cannot understand why it's a lot faster than VSCode, it's weird. I know have to try the plugins to see.
I’m all for incentives but you also don’t want to further eviscerate the middle class by slowly turning them from owners of houses to renters in skyrises.

How much data does it send before giving you the opportunity to opt-out? I'm assuming a lot more than any privacy respecting application sends. If they were serious, it would be opt in.
I've been using vim for many years now, with stints of using emacs here and there. I cannot stand evil-mode. If I'm using emacs it has to be with default key bindings. Why? Because evil-mode violates my expectations as to how vim operates.

It may be fine for a very casual vim user who wants to switch to emacs but it's too confusing for a vim power user. There are subtle differences that disrupt the flow of my muscle memory. One such example is the }{ forward and reverse paragraph motion. In vim, this is perfectly predictable and delineated by empty lines. In evil-mode, however, it's hooked into the major mode, so it's always changing behaviour as you switch between different file types.
Sounds like the company would do well to keep that employee happy then.

I don't see a reason why we should be okay with removing such powerful leverage from the workers hands.
Sure. But then again, if 20 years isn't enough time to build charge stations... actually, I'm not finishing that sentence: 20 years is more than enough to build charge stations where they're needed.

I mean, come on: if even Terrace already has three charge point, I'm pretty sure the rest of our province isn't some lame duck unable to build what is needed to meet the needs of the people who live where they live.

My first experience with mentoring was when I ranted about a bunch of stats on an online game. I impressed someone who asked me to be his mentor. He helped me gather more data, I helped to process them and taught him how statistics worked. It was incredibly fruitful both ways, probably my benchmark of what mentoring should be like.

There's another more regimented way, which I used with my thesis supervisor in university and a mentor at an incubator. Set up a meeting time, same time each week. Show what progress you've made. They'll comment on it. The mentor gave me some good insights, such how I shouldn't have designed it as Tinder, or how I should spend a week planning out my UI and testing it with people. I told him that in a week, I could build a full app and launch it to real people to test, and that's story of how I made a startup in 2 weeks and got a thousand downloads overnight.

Sometimes all the talk is just rubber duck debugging. I'm not even sure you need a proper mentor sometimes. Something like a devlog and fan base could work as well.

Mentors are best at spotting things you've never heard about though. There were many times when I considered a career path and a mentor just points out the starting point or tells me how others on that path fared.
That's female and not to do with race.
It has been a while since I honestly tried evil-mode, but there were a few categories of issues I remember:

1. Search/replace behavior - Not that it is better or worse, just that it is different.
2. Misc. ex commands. I don't remember specifics.
3. Plugin specific commands. Not really fair to bring up, but still part of my muscle memory.
It's sad you had to use a throw away for this comment.
That's exactly how I read it. Php and Perl are really from a time gone by. neither have REPL. php doesn't even have to a proper print command, you have to add your own newline. Granted they are both quite fast, but with perls "write only" syntax I would only use either of them for the most basic of scripts.

You kind of lost me with your emphasis on the differential forms of the v-i relations. As I’ve advanced, the integral relations are more fundamental. The accumulation of charge on a pair of conductors increases the voltage. The volt-time integral across an inductor gives rise to the flux therein. Etc.
bonus points on californian libs ofc.
Ok then. If you oppose prohibiting things, then you should also agree that it is a bad idea to prohibit an employee from breaking any and all non compete clauses, with zero consequence.

I agree. Let's get rid of this prohibition of an employees ability to break these agreements for any reason at all.

Yes the Euro is to blame.

I’ve lived enough in Italy to see how generally Italians have absolutely no idea what’s going on in the global economy and why now the country is in regression now.

They are like “distracted” by a telenovela-like politics (you cite Berlusconi) that doesn’t explain anything about the state of the italian economy and why it goes this way down. And when they try, the political discussion is eaten by a calcio-style debate, at the paradox where socially worth maneuvers are now a fascist thing, while no left parties are there to embrace the economical revolution your country requires.

Politics has no role here, whatever the RAI is screaming in the news, whatever the party is at the government, Italians just accept whatever Europe or industrial lobbies want, and now here are the results. Yet still they continue to debate about useless political dramas.
> My midwestern parents spend half their evenings on Facebook with Netflix on in the background now instead of simply watching cable TV.

Then your argument is for LA creating culture, which it does, not SF. "Tech" distributes art created in Hollywood.

> Society is having huge, diffuse discussions around overuse of phones, internet addiction, political problems of connectivity.

Again not culture, digital addiction if anything. The cigarettes of our generation.

> Culture is not paintings and sculptures, it's the way we behave and interact.

Communication tools are just that, tools. Speech, performance, art, music, all creations that have nothing to do with the tech that distributes it.

> SV is currently the center of technology-based culture, for better or worse.

SF/SV captures, repackages, and distributes art/speech in order to sell ads over the top of it all. Why you think that qualifies as creating culture itself, I don't know.

You think i'm wrong? Try watching a Youtube or Facebook original series. When SV tries to actually create something, it's terrible.

Not all planes are Cirrus. Not all have the same takeoff and landing weight requirements.

> I don't climb into the flight-levels high enough for my current weight to matter

Isn't density altitude a thing? Haven't you ever filled up your tanks with less than their full capacity in order to carry more payload?

> My fuel not burning in my wings wouldn't change anything

Range? Do they weight the same if they are half full? Of course they do not.

> General aviation certification, while expensive, is far from the cost of commercial cert, especially for VFR aircraft.

If that too much of a hassle, they can be in the experimental category. The bigger problem is not the aircraft, it is the engines. There is a reason even your Cirrus SR-22 is using an old engine design. You CAN certify anything. Do you have the funds to do so is a better question.

> Of course the motor's electrical system is separate from the aircraft's other electrical system, that's aircraft certification 101 (being able to through the master switch deactivate alternator but not battery power). On top of that 12v instrumentation is (obviously) on a different power level than an electric engine, so the batteries will be different.

Yeah, but on a 'normal' plane, you can shutoff the entire electrical system. The electrical system that matters for continued flight is in the engine itself (the magnetos). Many aircraft do not even have a separate electrical system.
Electrical fires are deadly enough as it is, add a high voltage electrical bus and it is a much bigger deal.
Again, it can be worked around. And it again requires money.

Heck, Cirrus itself almost got bankrupt trying to release the Vision Jet. And that's based on 'proven' tech.

GA aircraft is not as big as a market as it once was. It certainly cannot compare with commercial aviation, so there's a limit on how much companies can invest.

Don't get me wrong, I think we need to stop burning fossil fuels as soon as possible – I drive an EV myself. And aircraft are a huge contributor to that (GA still spews lead around for the most part). If we want to change this, we need to start now.

But it is a hard problem, we shouldn't be so dismissive of the issues these manufacturers are facing. Or the drawbacks electric airplanes have.
That's where you and I differ. I wouldn't consider the ~1s of time used to read "hello" as time wasted any more than I'd consider a person saying "hello" in person as time wasted. On the contrary, I'd be happy for the greeting.
It maybe starts with simple statistics. But then you want to know what features the user use, then you want to know what other programs they have installed. Then you want to know what the users search for on the web. etc. It's a slippery slope.

Measles killed 3 kids in the last 20 years. A rocking sleeper by Mattel killed 10 in the last 4 years. Yet we think anti-vaxxers are the devils. Priorities in all the wrong places.

> Ignoring actual question, electrics will likely benefit from flying extremely high as the motors don't care about atmosphere. Fuel burn won't really matter here though.

One bad thing for manufacturers is that they won't be able to segment their market by adding a turbo :)

This is absolutely literally precisely the practice that ignited the right to privacy movement in the late 19th century: misappropriation of likeness without notice or compensation for commercial advertising, in the case of Abigail Roberson, whose 1897 portrait photograph was appropriated by Franklin Mills to sell flour, reproduced over 25,000 times acros the United State. She sued and won, but lost on appeal.

here's a joke:

I use emacs all the time with all the half bad wrist positions and all and have no RSI. Not even CAPS LOCK -> CTRL trick.

For a MOOC I had to suff.. use Eclipse IDE. I don't like it but I didn't mind its keybindings. The morning after I had very nasty pain in my left hand. So I quickly got back into emacs to heal that rapid onset RSI.
Hydrogen burning ICE is really the only viable solution for a country as big as the US. I am not sure people understand how undeveloped the US is.

2nd best option IMO would be hemp oil diesel. While not the best on emissions the fuel would offset carbon during production.

Neither option will be able to defeat the oil industry

Battery storage is too inefficient to do at scale but a battery in every home with solar panel roofs and intelligent grids would do quite a bit to offset issues.

Again the companies would fight and prevent this... in fact they are fighting solar successfully even in states like AZ
We loved ours too.

We had one child who had acid reflux which doctors suggest putting them on an incline, so we had them sleep in there a few years ago before they could roll.

re: interleave mode, check out org-noter for another take on the same theme.

And, yes, pdf-tools is awesome.
I argue that nobody could possibly understand this snippet without reference to the source, even if they have C++ chapter and verse committed to memory. |auto| with a factory function sucks because you have to look up the return type. The source code actually uses |auto| as the declared return type which sucks again, they have made their library much harder to read and understand and saved themselves only a tiny amount of typing. Then it’s not even a little obvious that |histogram| is a unary function. You have to read it to see why that works and if it works naturally or because the argument can be implicitly constructed. Basically I hate this.

This would be a lot more readable without the deduced return type and if it had a named function for the fill that could be called from a lambda or bound function.
Not sure if the 99% figure is correct, but it is certainly above 80%. Electric motors run quite cold compared to motors that are burning things. Cooling is unlikely to matter.

Now, wouldn't the cold air at higher altitudes present a much bigger problem for the battery? FL20 and up you can easily reach temperatures where current batteries are no longer usable.
As Australia, the USA, Germany and others have banned Huawei from deploying 5G over concerns, I will continue to be concerned anytime their name comes up.

Judgement, tact, and caution are required.

Huawei's main business is just that - a business. The vulnerabilities that may be intentional are a result of the political environment they operate in, just as NSA backdoors supplied by Intel in the past are a result of their political environment, and makes me cautious about trusting without verifying large scale US tech companies.

> Huawei regularly figures in the largest contributors to the Linux kernel.

I'm afraid I can't verify this statement. They do have plenty of contributions are HiSilicon... But I can't verify that they are one of the largest contributors, in fact their contributions seem dwarfed next to many others.
If you don't feel ready to move on to something new, you could always read the same thing again.

I agree with your point about Vim being more than adequate for development in a large codebase.

I only learned Vim recently and I have hit no issues so far working on a large enough codebase such that navigation and autocompletion wouldn’t work effectively for any IDE.

I instead use cscope and ctags which allow me to selectively setup navigation and autocomplete from within Vim.

Regarding your last point: that already exists https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim
Eh... are you going to be able to do that without an A&P? You can only do that at the start of your trip (unless you want them shipped to your destination, I guess).
Better than giving a lot of money to a very select chosen few.

Here are some groups using the "learn to code" meme:

We can imagine all day long, just like we can imagine terrorist attack scenarios. That doesn't mean it's a good idea to expend state resources to prevent our imaginary scenarios, even if some of those scenarios will indeed come to pass.

This isn't a philosophical debate. This is an empirical debate. Non-competes have both pros and cons, and empirical studies suggest the pros are exaggerated and cons under appreciated. They're also not the only tool in the toolbox. For example, there are NDAs, trade secrets, and tortious interference, among others. Compensation and other incentives can be restructured.

Finally, your scenario only begs the question: so what? For the sake of argument, let's assume that it's somehow unfair to the original employer. What about the customers? Why is it fair that they've lost the option of working with a guy they like, probably for less money? There are two sides to the coin. That's why I said it's an empirical question: we can work out which option produces the better outcome overall, and the facts strongly suggest the best outcome is the world where non-competes are generally unenforceable.

One of the biggest and last remaining areas of productivity growth in modern service economies is putting people to their most productive task. There are huge structural inefficiencies that result in person doing task A when they'd be much more productive doing task B. This is much more of a problem in a service economy than a manufacturing economy. And one source of this inefficiency, and an increasingly common source at that, is non-compete agreements.

2. VSCodium is just a FLOSS VSCode binary. You could build it yourself from the available VSCode source. However, the VSCode binary is not FLOSS so you cannot be sure what it is running.

It's not like VS code is the next PRISM-- I'm sure MS has better ways to spy on users ;). The real pull is whether you prefer FLOSS by default.

"Free speech" as you are using that term (vs. it's actual meaning as a guard against government suppression of speech) was suppressed for decades by the media industry.

You couldn't publish the extreme content you see on the internet today in traditional newspapers and television. Mass radicalization didn't occur for all those decades.

The freedom to publish anything you want over a mass medium is something that is only as old as the internet has been generally available to the public, and the tools to amplify and target its reach are only as old as social media.

Whatever right to publish on mass social media that you think is threatened today is only a few decades old at best, but really only since lay people figured out how to use the technological tools of amplification.

You can still shout whatever you want in the town square, but you aren't entitled to the audience of any particular publisher. If those who want to see your content are displeased with that publisher's editorial decisions, they can move to a publisher that has content they want. If there are enough of them to matter, the publisher will either have to change its tactics or lose relevance.
