It's perfectly legal to get ketamine from any doctor! The program you linked costs $650/infusion.

> A typical case would be 8-12 infusions over 4-6 weeks.

That's $7,800 for a month of treatment. That's a lot of money when considering that ketamine is not a cure and the patient will need future treatments.

I'm taking 250mg sublingual every day and paying ~$3000/year. Most of the cost is taxis, planes, and shipping because I'm out of state and have to fly in to see my doctor. If I lived in Maryland the cost would be much lower.

Also, if infusion clinic docs weren't bankrupting patients by picking the most expensive (read: lucrative) ROA the cost would be much cheaper.
which is why the progressive democrats have made removing these programs such a core tenet of their platforms?

Interesting; it's as if the band was stretched out. Would the same presumably happen for Tritium?
Politics is about convincing as many people as possible to vote your way, and to make a big difference, you have to do it at scale. Changing people's minds is hard. Much like sales, it also has downsides like making a pest of yourself.

It's important, but I am a bit frustrated by shallow encouragement that makes politics sound like it's easy. It's like saying "get a job" rather than providing actually helpful resources and training to find a job.
> The problem I see with this role though - we (I am the one for analytics and one of the TLs for Data Infrastructure at Snap) have to handle 20-25 hours of meetings around all these coordination AND ensure some work gets done in your own area so that you are in touch with the code bases you are fiddling with.

If you figure out the answer to this PLEASE share it with me. This describes my current role; whenever I focus on one aspect (eg actually writing a few lines of code) the other (keeping up with planning) suffers.

My suspicion is that “tech lead” in this context basically means “manager,” but employers know many devs are scared of the word manager, so we have the highly ambiguous “tech lead” title, which allows dev managers to be in denial about their actual role.

Thanks for asking!

This is a funny topic for me, I've always been a super music fan, but never played any instrument.

I've been more a "roadie" than just a merchandiser, I mean that I was with them all the time, loading, unloading, driving and helping out.

Sometimes I've also acted as tour manager, but only in venues we already knew.

Most of the largest shows have been with an Italian band throughout Italy, production was in the medium range, going between a few hundreds to thousands of people (less than 5 thousands).

Many of the smaller ones were in Europe, with american bands, where it usually was in the hundreds in undeground clubs - there 's a large variety of them in Europe, you can find the youth center in Switzerland that has hotel's level accomodations and the squat in east Germany where you sleep on the floor in the cold.
But it's a good network to get a lot of shows close to each other, so you don't have to drive much and everyone is kind.

We've also been playing to many festivals: from desert fest to duna jam, from freak valley to roadburn, from up in smoke to hellfest. It's another great way to make connections and meet the bands.

I'm especially fond of what's called stoner rock (I prefer the name desert rock though) and I've toured a lot with bands from the Rome based Heavy Psych Sounds label.

I've been doing it for about 5 years, then the main band I was following took a sabbatical and I went back into tech as a programmer (my day to day job since 1997)

It's been the best part of my life, and, as crazy it might sound, the time of my life when I saved the most: I didn't have to pay for food, drinks, traveling or going to concerts, which basically is where most of my finances went anyway...

I had to pay the mortgage on my house, but if I was renting, I could have saved on that as well.

Best and worst memory is opening to Eagles of Death Metal in Milan, where I've spent the night smoking pot with Dave Catching, founder of Rancho de La Luna and one of my heroes.

I've also shared the merch booth with Nic, their merchandiser, that few days later was tragically killed in the
Bataclan massacre.

TL;DR: I got to do it as a job just by answering "yes" to "we need a driver for this one date, are you interested?". I've been reliable so they kept calling me and I ended up being part of the crew, without even noticing.
What a poor analogy. My job doesn't have anything to do with being the sole arbiter of violence and defusing dangerous situations at the trust and expense of taxpayers and local citizens.

If they don't want accountability as police officers, they can go find another job.

> Don't blame them for looking for their interest.

I can, I will and I will argue that it is my moral obligation to ensure that the public servants are acting in the best interest of the public as a citizen. But thanks for your concern.
US enterprises are losing reliability with this dirty game of its government. I hope this issue will be taken as a wake up alarm for the necesity of a pluricultural and far more diverse technology market.
Is an HFT arms race necessarily a bad thing? Doesn’t the market in general benefit from these firms viciously competing to grind out spreads+inefficiencies?

I know very little about HFT, but it seems like we’ve gone past “peak HFT margins”. With the Virtu+KCG merger, firms like Jump doing microwave stuff, it seems like return on assets for these firms could have already peaked.

The canonical handles the indexation. Your content on your own site gets the credit, rather than the corresponding content on Medium. In theory, you're getting a bit of domain authority passed over from the Medium article. Here's an example:

https://medium.com/@w00t/the-2018-burning-man-ultramarathon-...

Has a canonical tag pointing here:
https://johnvantine.com/2018-burning-man-50k-my-first-ultram...

When I search for a snippet of text from the article, the one on johnvantine.com ranks.

And you're leveraging the community on Medium, too, so there's some discovery that can happen on that end. Best of both worlds IMO.

Again please explain this

1-degree increase first 0.5 from late 1800 to mid 1900 when we didn't emit much CO2 second 0.5 degree where we emitted a lot.

You were the one claiming your graph illustrated something.

You have no basis for this claim:

"And again, most of the effect from the greenhouse gasses released over the past 50 years hasn't been seen yet,"

Of course, it has and as we have learned it doesn't have as big an impact as we thought it had which is why they had to adjust it down.

By your logic, the increase in temperature from the first half of the last century was also then delayed from earlier in the 1800s where we used even less.

So perhaps you should consider if it's you not me who should be open to new information.

I have done it for about 1.5 years straight, 24+ hours a week. Currently on an extended break to recharge my batteries but I'm definitely going back. It's slightly addictive and you come to miss it. The best part is you eventually end up knowing the other programming streamers which builds a sense of community.

In my personal experience, the productivity hit is overstated. It's absolutely harder to focus because of chat and the discussions that come with it, yes, but at the same time you have a camera pointed at your face and your screen is shown to the world. Whatever you normally do to distract yourself and procrastinate... I can guarantee you don't.

You also build a resistance to interruptions over time, which is an amazing skill for a programmer to have. I didn't believe it to be possible, but it eventually became so easy to pause what I was doing, interact with chat for a few minutes and instantly resume where I left off after.

To go even further, it's a great way to put in consistent work and keep motivation up for large, long-term projects. I have built the entirety of the Serpent.AI Framework (https://github.com/SerpentAI/SerpentAI) while live on my Twitch channel and I'm not sure I would have ever shipped it otherwise. The interactive nature of live streaming can give you that nice push on days you don't quite feel like it.

Streaming programming is not for everyone but I still recommend to give it a try. The experience is hard to put into words. I've had a blast and got to know great people.

Also, I just got:

> Error: User already exists!

How is this decentralized then? Unless it is using a blockchain to register usernames, then there has to be a master server that "decides" whose username is taken.

Or worse: It is decentralized, but not offline-first (what happens if I register without internet access)? What is the point of being P2P/decentralized if I need to be connected to a peer?

> Creating filesystem

Is really slow! Is this IPFS?

Small actions, like "send friend request" takes ~5seconds. Have you guys tried using something faster? There is a P2P version of Reddit ( https://notabug.io/ ) and he's done a ton of optimizations to make things instant, probably require switching p2p protocols though.

Overall, it worked! That is saying a lot in the blockchain/decentralized world. So this should actually be viewed as a huge success. Congrats!
> Are they worth it as a target? ... This technology is so far out of the bag already.

The point is that if you have access to their systems you can affect what is reported. For example you could add a bogus plate to the data stream, or remove one, or perform a substitution. I think we can all imagine cases were doing such a thing might be useful to someone.

Others have also pointed out that it’s possible that this company has some particularly interesting recognition technology, but I agree with you that this is really a second order issue.

Hi pcdoodle. I am also very fond of that style of programming, and it's something I'd like to explore down the line.

because implementing package manager well is not a trivial work. I had no problems with vendor (godep), later I used Dep and now modules.

Tech engineer? Looking for faster promotion?
This list looks wrong, you get way more than 1600 calories for $1 of pasta. 1kg of pasta is roughly 3,500 calories and shouldn't cost much more than a dollar. They must buy some very expensive brand to pay over $2 per kg, typically you can get it for less than $1 per kg...

Edit: Fixed calories per kg of dry pasta. Their value is still off though.

Edit again: I used Scandinavian prices which are typically much higher than American ones, but looking around it seems like people think it is normal for 1kg of pasta to cost $2? How can that be? Pasta is super cheap to produce and has years of shelf life, there is no reason at all why it should be expensive. It should be the cheapest wheat based product you can buy, certainly much cheaper than bread.

I was thinking that if you can see the logic behind their license plate recognition algorithm you can engineer modifications to license plates that would make them unrecognizable by the police. For example, adding a weird black square on a few of the numbers that look fine to the naked eye but for whatever reason screw their scanners up.

windows Phone was a viable OS and none of them jumped in completely. I don't see collaboration happening now. It's still more profitable to play ball with Google and profit from Android.
China's economy is very export dependent. If Chinese businesses cannot use internet to access a lot of U.S. allies, it would suffer badly.

For example if, say, all U.K's companies are not allowed to use email or skype to talk to the Chinese, or all U.S., Canada and Australia, etc. web sites are not accessible from China because of some executive orders or laws by the U.S. (similar to google complying with the order currently), then I guess China's economy would be severely affected.

How are the data points assigned to their locations in the geometric space? I didn't notice any mention of that. What makes something "more like" a thriller and "less like" a comedy, for example? We can all tell the intuitive difference, but what markers serve best to precisely assign a mathematical distance?

I know very little about this problem space, so these are actual questions, not at all rhetorical.

> understanding between "we need to measure this value" and "we need to understand how this value is calculated"

We also need to re-enforce that "how this value is calculated" is just another level of correlation with reality, it is not an absolute, i.e is not how reality "calculates" it for anything except for things that exist purely in the realm of the abstract - where our abstraction is also the definition.

I believe it's this lack of understanding that results in the distorted view of science being the practice of recording absolute truths.
I don't see why this is an issue. If it fails, the train should stop. The train should be designed such that it only continues on its way if a continuous "okay to proceed" signal is received, gated on automatic safety systems and deliberate human action. Even if you have a driver, the train should still stop if it cannot communicate, because the driver can't determine whether the track ahead is safe.

I believe that this is what the "digital transformation" is about, for real. I'm not even joking.

Only a wealthy company can spend $400.000.000 on an SAP project, for example, but in reality it would probably be better for the business long term, to build something custom and embrace the fact that IT & tech is important to achieve its goals.
If it's not, why spend the money?

Doing it right probably means creating a "software factory" or tech hub within or outside of the company.

If we're talking a company with muscle and will to plow down $100s of millions on a massive tech/automation project, this should be feasible right?

For an example, see Lufthansas tech initiative: https://lh-innovationhub.de

(I'm not in any way affiliated to LH, I just happened to read about it a while back, while trying to convince my then CEO that something like that probably would be better that spending millions on proper crap from 3rd party)

I'm sure there's many other examples.

Traditionally, the problem is that with money comes politics.
Everyone wants a piece of this pie, and a lot of non-tech/dev employees are used to turning to vendors.

The thing is, what you want to achieve is a cultural change, not simply an organisational update (which is why, in the LH case, the tech hub is not located at LH HQ. It is not a cultural match, according to the CEO).

Does this change even require money, except salaries for the "right people"?

Big business have done IT & tech a huge disservice by outsourcing and off-shoring things not considered "core business", such as tech & coding.
The pendulum is swinging, at least in my experience, and suddenly everyone need dev expertise again. Of course they do, because most likely you will be disrupted by a company without the legacy, that is sprung from tech.

Well, not a disservice to us still around, but it's obvious that theres a lack of expertise to just pick up off the streets.

How long you can keep a lot of people employed in a traditional IT dept. and buy a lot of half-crap vendor solutions that you glue together in half-assed ways I guess depends inertia of you customer base, and also as pointed out below, already accumulated wealth.
There was a clear set of expectations and 'red lines' set out early on by all parties that she seemed too willing, with a wry grin, to ignore.
