I don’t know how to frame it outside the Epstein case if the title is to be used. Perhaps the title can be amended.

@dang, if you read the NYT article, it has nothing to do with Epstein’s lurid activities but about how he conned some of the greatest minds in science to join him and lavishing money to universities and research projects to entirely poison the pond.

By association, he has assassinated the transhumanist movement. I think this is an important thing to discuss.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism : generic wiki entry on transhumanism

Everything from eugenics to AI/tech singularity can be said to have emerged from transhumanist ideas. It’s discouraging to see it constantly battered by the villains and being made more fringe’y/weird when most of the things we identify as longevity, robotics, ai, singularity, nanotechnology, cybernetics..all emerge from the need to ‘transcend the limits of the condition of humanity’..

Maybe amending the title would help?

Let’s See What We Know About Russia’s 5th Generation Stealth Jet
The US hasn't fought any "real opponent" with anything approaching economic parity since WWII. As long as the US is beating up on countries like Iraq, Panama and Libya, its carriers are safe, as are its aircraft, etc.

Even against these weak opponents, however, it's still a big question as to why the US needs 10+ carrier fleets. Again, I strongly suspect the answer comes down to bureaucratic inertia and capture of the government by industry lobbies.
I think you've highlighted the one of the primary reasons that prohibition is harmful. If these substances were treated like medicine, studied, and understood then we would all be much safer. Perhaps there is an actual scientific means of determining if someone has an "unstable psyche" before prescribing them the psychedelic (currently hard to discern because of restrictions on research of controlled substances). I'd imagine that if your doctor was thinking about this as a potential treatment for you then they'd want you to experience it there at the office, in the care of trained professionals, to gauge your reaction before sending you off into the unknown.

Also, there are people who would die if they ate a PB&J. The difference is that, with regard to peanut allergies, we have data on how to test patients and how to protect them from exposure. With psychedelics it's either D.A.R.E or some guy on the internet - and the information provided by those sources is so contradictory that you're left rolling the dice.

I'd predict that psychedelics are very safe for almost everyone without a severe pre-existing mental condition (this is my experience as a guy on the internet).

I'm one of those 82%. The risk is vastly overblown. If you use apps (for e.g. banking), they're already communicating over encrypted connections, and they're not going to accept unknown certificates. They're completely secure. The Google Play Store and the Apple App Store are completely secure. Your browser is going to warn you about certificates that don't match expectations. You have to go out of your way to fall victim to any MITM attack. The risk from a hostile WiFi is pretty close to zero unless you're the kind of person who blindly clicks on links in email you get, and people like that are unsafe in any environment.
Unfortunately (as a Norwegian), that is never going to happen. Norway's is a success story, but there is a darker side to the oil fund. This money will be spent on something. Our public sector has a tendency to grow without questioning from any political group, such that the total tax level stays the same, regardless of any incomes from the oil fund.

Currently, 1/3 of working-age Norwegians work in the public sector. 1/3 works in the private sector, and the final third are either unemployed or qualify for government benefits. (Meaning: Retired, long-term disabled, in full-time parental leave and so on). That this seems sustainable at all is very strange. We might as well go straight to a large-scale basic income experiment, because we almost have a basic income system in place already. In my opinion, this would be a more honest way of providing government benefits than the system we already have.

Currently, 3-4% of the oil fund is liquidated each year to pay for the deficit in the national budget, while total taxation has in fact _increased_ under the current Right government.

To my eyes, Norway has an exotic form of Dutch Disease in the form of our government spending, which is prevented from becoming a catastrophe by the oil fund. It will be interesting to see what the future brings, but it's not all roses.

Norway had a per-capita GDP 10x that of Venezuela when they launched their fund. The option was a luxury that they were granted by already being a fairly wealthy country.

Also, consider if 25% of Norway's oil revenue is sufficient to provide a basic functioning government. Now you have Norway saving 75% of their oil revenue every year, and Venezuela still sucking 5% out of other funds, resulting in a long-term extremely wealthy Norway and a destitute Venezuela.

I had a rodent problem in my garage where rats and mice ate through wiring in my motorcycle and garage door wires.

Originator/Maintainer of NeverSSL here. AMA. Funnily enough, I'm on a plane to Fresno right now, and I used it to get online.

FAQ:

1. Why does neverssl.com use Javascript to redirect to a random subdomain?

Over the last year users reported that some networks aggressively cache the fake DNS and pages they use for wifi capture. Neverssl.com now works around this generating a request to a random subdomain - this will bust any DNS cache, and any HTTP cache. It also means that if your browser or ISP caches the Neverssl.com page itself, that's fine.

2. Is NeverSSL.com tracking you or anything like that?

Normal S3 access logging is enabled, so I have a record of every IP address that accessed NeverSSL.com. I aggregate this information by AS number (ISP basically) to "rank" the networks that get the most usage ... this helps me figure out which networks are most broken. I occasionally forward this aggregated data to those network operators to encourage them to fix wifi capture. There's no other tracking, but you are trusting me on that. I am a founding director of Digital Rights Ireland, we sue governments and win for better user privacy.

3. Can I put ads on NeverSSL.com?

I thought about this, but I think it'd degrade the experience too much. I am thinking of maybe putting some rotating art, or inspiring poems, something to add a bit of soul to our day. Ideas welcome!

4. Shouldn't I use example.com?

I predict that example.com/org/net will all go HTTPS, as they are intended to service as canonical examples of internet standards.

5. What happens if NeverSSL.com gets pwned?

I don't understand this risk; it's not setting cookies, there's no passwords, or any personal information.
Not quite, references were introduced in perl 5, in perl 4 and earlier had a different method that wasn't quite multi-dimensional arrays but tried to behave that way.

$hash{1,2,3} = 10;

This actually ends up doing the following

$hash{join($;, 1, 2, 3)} = 10;

It builds up a single key from the list using the special variable $; as a separator to the elements. With perl 5 you gained the ability to make references which allow you to actually make multiple dimensions and to do it on arrays, not just hashes.

$array[1][2][3] = 10;

That also allows for more complicated data structures and much easier ways to iterate through the structures.

The fact that you are on hacker news suggests you are the Engineer turned Manager instead of tech enthusiast who went to business school. Yes?

People are a little more reliable when they have the option to figure things out for themselves. I’m not sure entirely why that is. But if pressed, I’d conjecture it’s something to do with not wanting to be seen asking subordinates stupid questions, to the point of preferring to be ignorant or half blind instead. “Keep silent and let them suspect, or speak and remove all doubt.”
I can't speak the Russian law and I am not a lawyer, but I can say that if they want to see your data and you do not provide it, you will likely be detained and your laptop confiscated. (best case scenario) Speak to your corporate lawyers for advise on what to do. Your compliance team should be providing feedback to the risk team as to whether your customer contracts allow sharing data with authorities.

Perhaps consider getting a cheap temporary laptop that has only the tools you need to do your job and only the data that is required to be in that country. Keep important data in your own datacenter and access it with secure remote access tools if your compliance and legal teams approve doing so.

Facial recognition technology has all sorts of situations where one can imagine where it would be useful. Unfortunately all of the ways you could use it to suppress, discriminate, silence, and intimidate people outweigh any upsides by miles. Facial recognition tech should be outlawed, unequivocally, plain and simple. I’m not holding my breath that will happen.

"Google .. serve you the right product or service"

No way. Google is not a philanthropy club, neither Amazon nor Apple. They do it to serve THEIR own interests, which might coincide with yours, but not necessarily so. If you want examples, think of Google's tech support, or how Google and Facebook sell your personal information to third parties.

When you say "idea" these things rarely thrive in a vacuum. What is really key is 1) What is the problem being addressed? 2) Why is our approach unique, effective, more profitable etc. So I would say it is very important to be very clear about these. Execution is a given, if you don't execute well you won't compete and you won't provide a great solution.
Yes, our entire civilization is built on trust relationships. Trust relationships are easier to succeed when the interests of the two parts are aligned, or at least mostly aligned.

The ad business model guarantees that our interests are misaligned. I don't want to depend on intelligent agents that want to sell me things, and I don't think anyone with half a brain would either. The more intelligent they are, the more one should fear being manipulated and spied upon if one those not control them.
> In your view, being “rich” means having an income in the ...
> Don’t know/none of these

Wealth.

Or unearned income. Which approximately no-one actually thinks about when they say "income".

Basically the whole thing is pointless due to that.
