Note that ethanol, and a host of other mind-altering substances, should also be avoided until neurobiological adulthood (approximately 26): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4669962/

For alcohol, neurological effects can be observed in those who consume as little as 21 drinks per week (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9500305). Your brain is just a bunch of electrically powered neurons swimming in a chemical bath - it's surprising how little of a substance over a regular time period can have an effect.

This is true. Weed is ok when you are older, you tend to partake infrequently. But if you take it young it becomes a habit.

I’d like to see legal age of use go up to 26. It seems like a good balance. Legalize, yes, but you have to be mature about it.

It’s time to realize that 16 to 25 you are still pretty immature.
IT professional family of four found shot dead in Iowa
A good full stack developer should
have double the salary of a frontend/backend
developer

There are (at least) two major reasons why this is not the case.

1. While theoretically possible, it's uncommon (and given the rate of change and increasing complexity of both front end and back end stacks, unrealistic) for a "full stack developer" to have expert-level production knowledge in both domains.

2. Even if #1 was true for a given developer, they wouldn't have double the productivity (and/or billable hours per week) as somebody who was more of a front-end or back-end specialist.

It's similar to the reasons why, in the medial world, general practicioners (aka "family doctors") do not earn money that is the... sum of all other medical professions earnings. They are generalists . Their role is to solve many problems, but also to refer many problems to the appropriate specialist.

If he's doing grid protection he's probably in distribution engineering and they would be pretty involved with a black start drill from as in they or the line crews with their boots on the ground as not all of that procedure can be initiated remotely I'd imagine.

The transmission level engineers and operators will call the shots as far as how the high level stuff goes down. In other words they'll issue a directive to get unit x online and then close in breaker b and clear a path to unit y while picking up load at z. The actual process from the end of the people doing that work is likely to be significantly more detailed.
Hong Kong is still a finance heavyweight and still a gateway to China for many. Many Chinese companies in the past few years have and prefer to list their IPOs in HK rather than elsewhere because of HK's stable economy and I'm sure they would like to keep it that way (for now).

Popular streamers get special treatment, no matter their gender. There was a streamer at E3 who was streaming from the public bathrooms, including a bunch of random people going to the bathroom on his stream (which is a crime in California). There were ~12 twitch staff members watching his stream while it was going on, and they didn't do anything about it until he turned off the stream. Meanwhile, smaller streamers that do things like have Maroon 5 playing in the background while they stream will get instantly banned for copyright infringement. Twitch is one of the worst sites I've ever seen when it comes to arbitrary enforcement of rules based on how popular the streamer is.
Of course you wrote that to dispute the point of the article.

Alcohol is not what is being discussed.
What is the role of THC here? Presumably THC will change your behavior, and if your behavior over a long period of time impacts IQ or any of the metrics mentioned (e.g., "executive function, processing speed, memory, attention span and concentration...") then it is difficult to say that THC is the direct cause of "damage." When we say that being poor lowers your IQ or decision making capabilities, most infer that this is the result of secondary effects like stress and anxiety rather than your actual wealth alone. Is the message that THC causes damage like cigarette smoking, or like being poor---or both?
Just because they're biased or "unfair" doesn't mean they aren't independent. And there's a big difference because you can find consensus or inconsistencies between a collection of independent sources.

The same rule applies to learning anything from other people. The other person is probably biased in some ways so you can't 100% rely on them for 100% of your perspective. But you can talk to lots of people and gain a more rounded world view.

It's only a problem if you limit yourself to getting all of your information from one source.

I don't think it can be related. For one, the US was referring to a cyber sabotage operation, not an attack in the sense of "an attack against a computer system". "Attack" has two very different meanings in this context. SSHing into a server is an attack and shutting down power for a city leading to 20 hospital deaths is an attack.

The original statement I could find [0]:

>recommending, in response to the "most extreme case" (described as a "catastrophic full spectrum cyber attack"), that "Nuclear weapons would remain the ultimate response and anchor the deterrence ladder."

I think this is referring to an unprecedented attack which intentionally kills many citizens. It's hard to imagine a scenario where nuclear weapons would be the warranted response, even if the cyber attack killed people, but I don't think the statement should be taken literally.

Either way, this is not that. These are the same espionage and sabotage games every big nation plays. Russia has been and probably is in many of our energy SCADA systems. China, too. And we're in theirs. That's just how things go in the 21st century. It will undoubtedly escalate; the real question is who will pull the trigger. (The US did at least once against the IRA, though that was in direct retaliation to disinformation campaigns aimed at destabilizing the US.)

The legal age isn't set where it is because that's the age at which marijuana is deemed to have no negative effects, any more than it is for alcohol or any other substance that can be habit forming. It's just the age at which people are considered responsible enough to make a decision on their own about the risks and benefits involved.

If you want to say that cognitive development isn't done until 25, and so people can't be considered adults until then, you'd better be ready to argue that for a whole lot of other sacred cows.

You edited your answer down from 30 to 26. Which shows me you really haven’t thought about your statement at all. Aside from it being totally asinine to make a relatively harmless drug illegal for a 21 year old to use, there’s about a 0.0% chance you’d be able to enforce that. And why would you want to? If I can vote I should be able to do everything else, too.

I used to think 18 was a good age of majority, until I got a bit older and realised most 21-year-olds are pretty immature.

Then I thought 25 was a good age of majority, but as I got older I realised even 30-year-olds can act pretty immature.

Now I think 35 is a good age of majority... but then again even some of my peers can make some pretty poor decisions, so maybe 45?

Or we could just admit that this is what mature humans look like. We're still making dumb decisions and still learning from them, right up til we die.
Most rich people are skilled workers punching a clock, same as everyone else, but in better compensated fields. Monomaniacal focus on getting rich will make you an outcast in the societies you need to network with - everything is supposed to be about passion and impact.
Why should one particular age (18) be regarded as a bright line for a range of activities? Wouldn't it be better to overcome the rigidity of present conventions in favour of a more rational system that correlates certain rights/obligations as a function of neurological development?
It seems to me that it poses roughly the same risk as alcohol. I wonder if legalization changes the amount of children with access to the drug. If all sales are illegal then someone selling it probably won't care if they are selling to an adult or a 15 year old but if selling to an adult is legal but selling to a child is not the risk is probably not worth it.
CIA doing 'dry' run before targeting Russia?
Scary title.

The actual results[1] are less scary: long-term, heavy cannabis use that begins in adolescence correlates with increased rates of psychological conditions and IQ decline.

Edit: To inject a personal anecdote: every time I travel to Europe, I see people my age (and sometimes substantially younger) drinking beer and smoking marijuana. I almost never see reckless drinking or smoking the way I do in the US (e.g., at every college event), and I attribute that to a cultural failure of ours.

My opinion: if we want to stop the kinds of results that these studies show, then we should focus our efforts on reducing the taboos/absence of cultural knowledge that lead to binge usage.

If the test is only measuring part of your intelligence that still doesn't change the fact that part of it has dropped so there has still been damage unless somehow another part has increased and is just as valuable to you.
Because increasing the age is going to stop people from smoking weed or drinking? Haven't we learned this is a pointless strategy yet? Also let's not continue the dated system of two tier "adulthood" in the US. If you can vote then you can consent to the usage of "vice" products.

Do not cite cigarette purchase age limits as the cause of their decline. A combination of price and social rejection of cigs as disgusting has caused the decline in cigarette usage among youth.

That appears to be an unfounded assertion given what I've found comparing inflation adjusted average car prices:

The average car price from 1967 is $3000 cheaper in 2016 dollars than the 2016 average car price. That may be due to a number of factors but I'm at least providing some data to back up my assertions.
I actually provided the context. It's just a silly thing to say, what ever the context.

Of a sort. If it's a phase mismatch of a few degrees, the generator may attempt to physically rotate to match the phase.

This kills the generator. Also, less amusingly, anyone nearby at the time.

If it's a larger mismatch, then that's more likely to fry the wiring before too much other damage happens. On rare occasions generators get connected while they are (exactly) 180 degrees out of phase; this is a dead short, and its internals will instantly vaporize. The vaporized copper may then proceed to explore the outer limits of the generator's physical integrity.

(Disclaimer, etc: I've only worked with DC generation, AC would be somewhat different especially if it's three-phase.)

Technical interviews have been quite useful to me in the past.

Once I applied for a job, and received an online technical test where every single question used the wrong terminology for a bunch of stuff and half the "answers" in the multiple choice section were wrong, while some of the "wrong answers" happened to be right.

That technical interview served it's purpose perfectly, assuming it's purpose was to save me from accidentally taking a job that would have been a fucking train wreck.

Alcohol can kill you, both from ingesting too much and from quitting after heavy usage. Cannabis does neither, and that's not even close to "roughly."

Stride (bass notes on 1 and 3, chord accompaniment on 2 and 4, all in the left hand) is the common accompaniment in ragtime, and is also a very common technique used in jazz for solo pianists. In jazz you might vary it up some more, mixed in with some voice leading in the comping and some walking bass lines, but anyways, while ragtime might not be jazz, they do have some common language.
I have ignored food beyond the normal daily hunger a few different times just for the fun of the experiment. I never experienced any kind of hunger that I would describe as pain, and I could easily ignore it seemingly indefinitely. The only thing that made me stop and eat after about 3 days was fear. By then I was shakey and weak and I was afraid of getting even weaker and maybe not waking up. 3 days should be well short of any serious danger, but I am skinny and tend to constant nervous energy like bouncing my leg & tapping fingers etc. So I had to consider I might have less reserves than most, and possibly burn what I do have faster. Today my girlfriend would obviously never even allow such an experiment to get that far let alone further. But that's the only way I'd go further is with someone else around to watch in case it did go too far. Normally, when I'm doing whatever I want and can afford anything I want, I eat once a day, usually late at night. Have ever since I was responsible for my own meals.

But even at it's worst, as far as I got, it wasn't pain and I was able to ignore it.
