My doctor prescribes ketamine lozenges. They are quite cheap, safe, and possibly as effective as IV (more research needed here). He said his insurance didn't change at all. What the world needs is psychiatrists who are willing to take the _risk_ of prescribing a safe drug with a long history in medicine.

Yes, the long-term effects of taking ketamine frequently are not well understood. In my opinion a patient with TRD should be allowed to take this risk provided that they have tried several other drugs.
Netflix's 'Rim of the World' Shows Where Sci-Fi Is Headed
Hmmmmm. I tried to follow this youtube, but it doesn't make sense for me. The guy is saying that D-wave would be a success even if it was not a quantum but only solved a hard problem.

I could buy this, but they do not solve any problem yet that was not solvable with probabilistic classical algorithms before.

I would also give them a credit if they didn't solve any problem yet but showed real quantum computer at work. Eg. could do factoring of 50 digit number. Or are on the way to do this somehow and made understandable progress in the area. Even though they didn't fully succeed yet.

What they do to my understanding is:

* approach a problem that is hard in general.
* solve only a simple and already solvable case
* when asked that it may not be a quantum thay say that even if it was not quantum then ok because the problem is hard (while it is not)
* if asked about the problem being easy they say that maybe the problem is easy but this is quantum.

Do I understand this correctly? I would really appreciate more explanation
You think returning money to investors is a sign the economy is broken?

IMO it’s a sign companies are doing the intelligent thing and are assuming investors are better investors than throwing money at random shit.

> Which is to say, if you say you're a "trans woman", am I able to infer that your desired gender pronoun is female?

Yes, this is indeed a generally safe assumption. View "trans" like any other self-descriptive adjective. "I'm a tall woman", vs "I'm a trans woman". It's not an absolute given, because nothing is black and white (some might prefer gender neutral pronouns), but generally safe.
"giving superior officers licence to search them for punishable behaviour" seems like a legitimate concern.
You seem to be assuming that the "superior officers" will have "the best interests of the public" as their sole motivation. In my experience that is rarely true of ladder climbers. By not dealing with this concern you could easily end up making things worse.

Stock buybacks aren’t artificial boosting. It’s the correct move when your company is undervalued and you don’t have better investment options.

Well at least I don't have this problem when it comes to paid-work!

It only ever seems to happen when it's my own idea I am working on... something I never seem to value as highly as paid gigs... which is probably a bigger internal struggle in itself now that I think about it.

I think all this thought experiment proves is that I really enjoy learning new things about technology (as I have done for the past 2 weeks on this project), and I dislike doing the tedious work once I've grasped the concept... which I think probably stems from the fact that I haven't fully grasped it yet still and I feel dumb/incompetent/afraid of trying to implement something I am not fully comfortable with.

Thanks for the chat.
You used to have one, so it's less "finally" and more "undo that stupid decision we made".
> Sure. And the government decides how many funds you direct to them to prevent freeloading. Basically Flattr, but mandatory.

Uhhh got it, so the government decides how much of my money I need to direct to arts/digital goods? I have no choice in that? You want to replace a world where I can freely allocate my capital to goods that are artificially scarce (presumably you are morally opposed to this enforcement) with one where I'm forced to allocate my capital goods to $0 marginal cost goods (you aren't opposed to this enforcement, though?). I'll take the one where I have fuller choice if in either circumstance I lose some freedom. This also doesn't address issues that would certainly arise from the cost of enforcement, the likelihood of fraud, etc. and the relative cost between that and what we have today.

You should take a basic economics class if you want to fully understand how markets succeed vs centrally planned mechanisms.

However, the basics would be the following:

1) Every individual is unique and has unique preferences.

2) These preferences are private and non-discoverable by external parties but are well-known, to a point, to the individual. (Proof: see the INCREDIBLY NARROW worlds of recommendation systems where even though Netflix or Amazon or Google have massive amounts of information about your historical preferences in VERY NARROW circumstances, they still fail to provide truly great recommendations)

3) Since a central planning entity cannot know every individual's preferences but every individual can (think of market economies as distributed systems), overall welfare is maximized by individuals autonomously and freely allocating their personal capital to the goods/services/etc. that they see fit.

4) As more and more individuals bid with their capital, up to the point of negative returns for them, for goods/services/etc., producers react to produce more of these, and ideally at lower costs and higher quantities to maximize their gains and demand, in order to capture more capital for them to purchase their preferences with. This is the price mechanism and it CANNOT be replicated centrally given the unknowability of a central entity to understand preferences. NO AMOUNT of today's computing power could possibly come close. Think about how much compute goes into the shitty recommendations you get from Google/NFLX/et al. and for how narrow that realm is. You want production to be based on something like that?

Now, there are failures of market mechanisms. What happens when there are external social costs (ie C02 production from fossil fuels), or the tragedies of the commons, etc. that require central intervention to the best of its ability. Hence IP/Copyright where in a world where without it, creators have no reasonable means of capturing returns on their efforts, we must implement property rights. There is of course a great argument for much better refinement of IP laws, but they are not arguments against them.
Everything that has added sugar, let's put a graphic or line or whatever, showing people how much.
Where are there companies using credit to issue dividends?

If companies just took on debt to issue a dividend, the share price would be devalued by the market by the dividend amount due to the debt so it would be a pointless exercise.

I’ve been using syncthing and the rule is you just have to have one working computer, since computers are cheap and most people are throwing them away all the time it’s easy to end up with many at a time. I’d imagine this is the same way.

Free will is an incoherent construct.

Free will implies that if you make a decision (after a long process of deliberating) then roll back the universe to before the start of that process and run it again, you can make a different decision even though exactly nothing changed.

In deterministic universe, everything will run right on the same tracks, and your cognitive process influenced by its internal structure, its accumulated experience and current inputs, will arrive to the same conclusion. No free will here.

In non-deterministic universe, something will randomly happen differently and you will arrive to a different conclusion, but that is still not your doing. You don't control that atom decaying or not decaying and flipping your neuron or something. So no free will here either.

In dualistic universe, your "soul" will influence the decision differently, but that is merely moving the problem into soul realm. Depending on how much decision making your theology places into the brain and how much into the soul, the soul acts as a generator of randomness (it is is not influenced by materialistic inputs and experiences) or as a whole processing unit (if all thinking is done there). You don't control that either.
> have large corporations just run out of things worth investing in?

Businesses don't expand just because capital is cheap, they need some kind of demand to fill. That's the fundamental problem with "trickle down" economics, it assumes the economy is supply constrained when it is more commonly demand constrained. And worse, the polices that it produces tend to squeeze the lower and middle classes, further reducing demand.

> On the other hand these organizations are immensely wealthy and successful.

That's because economies of scale work. They make it easier to get customers, they have easier access to credit, they make it cheaper to employ employees, they make it easier to have things go your way if there's a contract or legal dispute... The list goes on.

Economies of scale are why living in a poorly ran-community is better then trying to scratch out a living as a hermit in the woods. It's the same thing in workplaces.

Once a company has no need for more cash, there is no point to sell shares. The whole point of a IPO is to fund growth / give founders and early employees a payout.

Share buybacks aren’t about propping up the price (when done correctly). They’re about tax efficiently increasing your ownership share. Or you can think of it as paying money now to reduce the amount you need to pay in dividends, all else equal.

Share repurchasing is just a tax efficient way to return money to shareholders. People love dividends yet look at buybacks as insane. Why?

* Note: buying back shares when your company is overvalued is insanity. I’m not endorsing that. But if you’re in a situation like AAPL, they are hands down the correct move.

Presumably once enough of the network is up, SpaceX will have an "all orbit" telemetry setup using their own network.That would free them from using the NASA network and maybe we'd get to see drone ship video that didn't always cut out at the landing :-).

One of my managers from Sun, Don Hoffman, left and went on as an early employee of Teledesic, a LEO satellite broadband company in 1990 :-). But the prohibitive cost to get to space, and the size of their satellites, ultimately doomed them.

Starlink is a good example of an idea that failed but could succeed now because technology has moved far enough forward to actually do what the engineers envisioned in a more cost effective way.

That said, its a risky move for SpaceX which has the potential to be considered as having a launch monopoly given their costs structure, and using that to get into adjacent markets is something that is the kind of thing that antitrust lawyers go after.
Exactly this. Storage and bandwidth are insanely cheap.

Also, not all content I keep is the same, I think it could be be tiered. There is a lot of content I have which is third party and easily replaced, these are files that hash to values that other people will also happen to have.

Then there is content I personally created like photos and video which is voluminous and important but not an epic disaster if some of it is lost. Finally there are crucial documents which are truly mission critical, but these make up the smallest share (less than perhaps .1%) by volume.

Every friend I connect with I wouldn’t think twice about giving them some amount of space on my server. I mean, you’re allocating space for chat and metadata and such, why not also a baseline amount of per-peer storage like 100MB. Then you could slide it up from there.

Making this automatic, and on by default at a baseline, adds a level of resiliency to the whole network.

I assume my friends can act as relays (store-and-forward) for anything I’m sending or sharing through the network as well.

That also looks like a cool project! I've made a bot to play a game called Gems of War. I've used some GUI windows thing to program the AI but it was terribly limiting and slow. I was going to start again using python and opencv from scratch but I was kinda sad I needed to code a lot of plumbing code such as finding the screen, and then finding sprites and things like that. Your project seems to do that and would save me a lot of hassle. I may try again someday.

Saturn V flew about twice a year. I think it's easier today to get Falcon Heavy to fly 6 times a year, matching total payload, or to fly even more frequently. We have about 20 launches of Falcon 9, with 20+ tons payload each, which totals to 400+ tons annual - which is more than Saturn V carried per year.

What made Huawei different, and what legal instrument conveyed this difference to Google's lawyers?

If I had to guess, I'd say the intent behind it was "don't produce content which you then license out for re-use by third parties", not "you must make it physically impossible for third parties to re-use the content, even if they're willing to infringe copyright".
Of course you can also do that, but right for now 99% of people “all the servers” are exactly 0 servers. Even the concept of a “server” is foreign.

Maybe the first server most people buy is a home NAS or wireless gateway. Those types of devices should also be able to act as the host as long as they have pluggable storage.

FORTH is less a programming language and more a religion or philosophy on how programs should be written. The philosophy basically suggests that one should make programs as simple as possible... way, way simpler than a modern programmer might think "as simple as possible" means. This philosophy clicked for me when I saw the segment in the colorforth manual saying "if the cursor doesn't appear on screen, hold up and left until it does." Why bounds check if it isn't necessary?

Ultimately a language is there to make programming a CPU easier. If you believe in just absolute minimal complexity, FORTH is what you get when you find this intersection of leverage vs. minimal tolerable complexity. A FORTHer generally doesn't believe in writing device drivers so much as writing maybe 20 lines of code yourself that twiddle the registers to get done what you want. You're basically told to ask yourself over and over again "do you really need that?" The answer is usually "well I might need it tomorrow... maybe..." but in software, requirements change so fast that the abstractions we design for what we think we might need tomorrow don't actually match what's actually needed. The FORTHer solution isn't to just continue generalizing until you have a fully galaxy brain interface that could accommodate anything the future could throw at you-- it's just to not generalize at all, and to put the weight of working in a system with less abstraction on the programmer. The bet is that the weight of dealing with less abstraction is less weight than dealing with a tower of abstractions that were built for the wrong requirements.

I don't know if I fully buy it, but it's worth trying to think like a FORTHer as an intellectual exercise to make you a better programmer.
Demand and supply right. How many of these developers started a profit sharing company? As a dev you sign up your life to work for another company where you trade time for money. You sign on that sheet. That's the contract. The company can make bazillions off you but that's the deal you signed.

I really really hope with the recent IPOS, all the devs that made good money end up doing startups that are more employee friendly than VC friendly.

But then, this is the ugly world we live in. The selfish gene yo!

As someone who had no need for Slack but did need to do a lot of remote pairing, I was really bummed when they acquired ScreenHero and was forced to find another tool.

I’ve been using Tuple since the first alpha was released and it has been awesome. They don’t have multiple simultaneous cursors (yet) but I actually like their current system more, only one person can control mouse/keyboard at a time and you just click to take over. Feels more like face-to-face pairing where only one person is driving at a time. As a bonus the mouse control actually feels right because they don’t have to do any weird hacks to trick the OS into displaying two fake cursors, it respects your tracking speed settings and all that stuff properly.

Performance is great too, I’ve been pairing 20 hours a week with a friend on a slower connection who lives in Arkansas (I’m near Toronto) and even sending 5K back and forth has worked flawlessly for hours at a time.

Really, really good product.
