Some say mdma without a guide is still good but you never know . Rick doblin once got a call from a friend who was treating a woman who had depression with mdma and what happened was that she remembered her rape and her being almost murdered ,this memory was complelty blocked by her brain and mdma brought them back . More mdma did not work so Rick doblin decided lsd was better equipped to treat her which worked .

There is a video of her speaking about what happened many years later

> but it’s a known problem and easy to comprehend... It's harder emotionally... when someone you love is killed by a software bug

Sure, I understand how a poorly designed steel guardrail can ride up the front of a vehicle and crush the chest of someone I had hugged a week earlier.

My sense is that understanding does not lessen the pain.

You seem to basically be trying to explain how hypothetical people that you are imagining could be experiencing pain that is more salient than mine.

I don't see how this takes us anywhere good.

There real catch with this is how all this information was public for so long. The average user still doesn't understand that they posted their PII to a searchable database, and ultimately the ramifications of doing so.
Even now, yes FB has restricted phone numbers, but a simple bot friending ppl on FB, which many users would blidnly accept requests from, would once again reveal all this data
Recently the governor of "Norges Bank", the central bank of Norway made it clear he wants to enforce that shops have to accept cash.

The reason for this is that we might need cash in an emergency.

Thank fuck. LSD changed my life. As I bounced around inside the confines of my own mind I became so much of a better person. More cognizant of my failings and the insecurities that made me less than I could be. I came out capable of talking about them as things and not inherent and true parts of me. I came out capable of taking intensity of feeling in any form (shame, grief, anger, pleasure, joy) and directing it towards something good.

It's a travesty that acid is still illegal, but fortunately it's really easy to get. I started using it originally as a party drug, funnily enough. But it's much more than that.
It wouldn't hurt his reputation throwing such opinions. After bashing down index, he suggested everyone should take a look at some small caps in Japan. That wouldn't hurt either. The point of investing in index is because it saves our time and energy to try to become excellent investors(just maybe). He's selling something, obviously, he's not even trying to lay opinions.
Right now is a racist era.

This is not a personal swipe. Conflating terror watch lists, no fly lists, and red flag laws is so prima facie absurd, there’s no other way to put it. I have described the behavior, not attacked the person.
Honestly, I'm in the valley. I don't have time to do much socializing outside of work. I work, come home and spend some time with my wife, and sleep. The occasional shopping trip consumes any spare free time.

That and I'm 44. I'm at the age where it is increasingly difficult to generate real friendships with people. I used to be a 'renaissance man', but after I got divorced I basically just work all the time. There's not much left to connect to others with. My stomach is shot so I can't socially drink much. I lack the patience for gaming. I used to like to hike and can't afford the time now. It feels like the next 20 years are something I just need to endure and hope for a nice retirement. It's completely opposite to my worldview, but I'm pretty much starting over financially and don't have a lot of options. If I'd just accepted the other job offer last year, I would literally be sitting on $1M of stock options. I chose wrong. I picked the company whose stock tanked.
And what if a business gets cut off? Or the local internet/cell tower system goes down for 24 hours? I have a local grocers near me where the card scanning machine sometimes breaks. The centralised cashless system is great when it works but it has a lot of complicated parts that require time and specialist knowledge to fix.

It would be royally foolish to phase out cash for small transactions. The option needs to be there.
For iOS, it seems easier to just make Facebook and WhatsApp use the same app group.
Good question, I think there was a break between the training and the posttest, but it isn't quite clear from the description in the paper:

"Each participant spent 10 h in the study, which spanned four separate sessions in the on-campus laboratory of the university, across 1-2 weeks. Each of the first three sessions lasted 3 h. Session 4 lasted one hour - solely for administering the posttest battery. At the beginning of the first session, subjects in both conditions were asked to read and sign the consent form. After signing the form, subjects were randomly assigned to one of the two conditions. All subjects were then administered an online set of pretests. Once they finished the pretests, they logged in to play their assigned game for the rest of the first session. They continued to play their assigned game for the entire second and third session (for a total of 8 h of gameplay). During the last session, they completed the online set of posttests."

"Before and after 8 h of gameplay, subjects completed an online pretest and posttest battery of tests measuring our focal constructs and their relevant facets."

You're putting much more time and energy into downplaying racism than listening to what other people are saying in response to your postings.

Why don't you use your normal account for that kind of argumentation?
In France, if I am mot mistaken, you can legally have an account at the Banque de France.
People go there when they got kicked from regular banks, like after having signed checks without having the money.
Banque de France has become an heuristic for landlords to reject candidates, so having a right for bank account might not be enough.

There were certainly very public signs before that. Hitler had _tried_ to seize power:

> The Beer Hall Putsch was a failed coup d'état by the Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler to seize power in Munich, Bavaria, which took place in November in 1923. 603 SA [Sturmabteilung - Storm Detachment, the Nazi's original paramilitary unit] surrounded the beer hall. Hitler, surrounded by his associates, advanced through the crowded auditorium. Hitler fired a shot into the ceiling and jumped on a chair yelling: "The national revolution has broken out! The hall is filled with six hundred men. Nobody is allowed to leave." He went on to state that the Bavarian government was deposed and declared the formation of a new government.

> Following the initial failure of the putsch, approximately two thousand Nazis were marching to the Feldherrnhalle, when they were confronted by a police cordon, which resulted in the deaths of 16 Nazis and four police officers. Hitler, who was wounded during the clash, escaped immediate arrest; after two days, he was arrested and charged with treason.

> The putsch brought Hitler to the attention of the German nation and generated front-page headlines in newspapers around the world. Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison.[1]

Mein Kampf has had also been published by 1926, sections of which gave a rather stark insight into Hitler's thought process:

> At the beginning of the War, or even during the War, if twelve or fifteen thousand of these Jews who were corrupting the nation had been forced to submit to poison-gas, just as hundreds of thousands of our best German workers from every social stratum and from every trade and calling had to face it in the field, then the millions of sacrifices made at the front would not have been in vain. On the contrary: If twelve thousand of these malefactors had been eliminated in proper time probably the lives of a million decent men, who would be of value to Germany in the future, might have been saved.[2]

Which would still put the local government out of the loop. When you have a currency crisis like Zimbabwe did, it kind of make sense, they would eventually abandon their own and allow foreign ones instead. But it was not without deep reluctance, considering that most transactions in Zimbabwe is completely out of its control.

Of course, we are not talking about hyperinflation in Austria. Something that forced Zimbabwe to take a momentous decision. Why would the US Federal Reserve consider the interest of Austrians - in this fantasy scenario where they go cashless, and people start using USD - when valuing their currency?

I mean, if cash transactions are in different currency than that of your local jurisdiction, then - for a lot of people - it would start to make sense to simply keep their bank accounts in the same currency (and private banks would surely offer this). This could have an effect on people who doesn't use cash at all, since they would at times deal with people who do sometimes. And then having their money in that foreign currency too is an advantage.

Of course, I am only speculating. Since we have no experience with what happens if a society abandons cash, it will be hard to tell what the broader effects of that will be. Could be a total loss of monetary control for the government, or merely an inconvenience for foreign tourists.
Interesting, I am pretty sure in Germany they do just that: they drive with you to the next exit. They have a huge display that tells you to follow.

At least according to my anecdotal evidence.
> If the worst 10% have most of the accidents, then even a car that makes us safer than the mean driver could still make 90% of us less safe. We really want a car that makes us safer than our percentile of drivers.

The standard shouldn't really vary per-person.

If it's as good as a 50th percentile driver, it's good enough.

If it's as good as a 20th percentile driver, that's also probably fine.

You're right not to touch the mean at all, though.
It wouldn’t surprise me if newer cars require a higher battery charge to start, which means you would need to roll the car for longer, or (worse) don’t effectively charge the battery at all at lower speed because the partially booted system takes too much power, so that you need a higher speed to start charging the battery enough to power the ignition system.

Also, are there cars where you need the electronics to disengage the brakes?
One case of possible fingerprinting I encountered in an ad recently surprised me by how many different obscure tests it seemed to perform. The entire script is 80kB minified, and it looks like it's just hundreds of tests that check for all kinds of properties of the environment.

Many of the test seem to look for the presence of specific APIs, or test various features of the JS environment. Which I'd expect to not give more information than the user agent, but of course is not as easy to fake as the user agent it.

I'm not sure this script is entirely about fingerprinting, but I really can't see any other reason for it. Though the minification of course makes it a bit harder to see exactly what it does.

The script in question is the following:

Personally I don't see anything wrong with denying people guns. <- that's a full stop ;-) However in the US it is your constitutional right to bear arms. This has been widely (virtually universally in the US) regarded to mean that it is your right to not be denied a gun (without due process). Questioning someone's state of mind is not due process. It really doesn't matter if we are talking about guns or we are talking about hamsters: if you have a right enshrined by your constitution it's pretty darn important that you don't have that right stripped away simply because someone levels an accusation at you.

It would be pretty weird to have a right to bear hamsters...
thank you for the explanation! Do you happen to know if there's any work on bumping the power bus to 130W?

Is there any work on rev 4?

Honestly, the ban sounds justified to me. If you know that parking in the garage will lead to a 50% probability of them having to tow the car, repeating this is just unnecessary. It would obviously be better if they could handle such scenarios but ignoring a known limitation to incur cost to others (since you have no advantage as you also can't use the car in this scenario) sounds wrong to me.
It is universal on Sweden, from younger than that. And here most shops don't take cash at all anymore. TBH if I had a shop in Stockholm I wouldn't take cash either. Even public transport doesn't take cash.

On the other hand everybody here has a bank account for free, and free instant transactions between individuals.

Your example is identical to the case I covered in the second paragraph of my comment. ie your code compiles because it is legal to assign a `Cat[]` to an `Animal[]`, as I said.

When you mentioned "covariant param passing" I assumed you were referring to the long-lasting issue about callbacks, hence my original comment mentioning that that issue has been fixed. It's not useful to differentiate between "assigning a value to a variable of a certain type" and "passing a value to a function parameter of a certain type" because those are identical.

I drive a Subaru WRX STI which is one of the most expensive to insure vehicles due to it be one of the most ticketed and crashed vehicles. I have never been pulled over while driving it. I have been pulled over in my Wrangler many times while obeying all laws, but never had a ticket from it.

I would like one company to post an "incident" reveal in a more honest way:

"
Due to our carelessness and relatively insecure practices, we had improperly disclosed user accounts to a moderately savvy hacker. We realize this is our fault.

If you'd like to help and given that we have your attention now, it would be valuable if you can help pentest our servers: the attacker used a simple SQL attack based on an unpatched server via CVE-3245. Are we missing anything else? Please let us know.

Thank you."

Firstly calories in, calories out is still in effect there. The toxin inhibited the calories in part. "In" doesn't mean "in your mouth" it means metabolised.

Secondly, obviously none of these people are referring to eating poison when they say where you get calories doesn't matter in terms of weight management. They are talking about people eating things that are plausibly going to be eaten by someone in a modern society, not people wandering the outback with no idea what they are doing. For similar reasons they also don't append "for individuals with something approximating normal metabolic function" every time they say say it.

Using the above story as evidence against calories in/calories out for weight management is missing the forest for the trees.
One big issue with society that would be completely cashless is that it will essentially grant ability for foreign governments to control people in different countries. There is an on-going case in Finland where Boris Rotenberg (allegedly someone who is in inner circles of Russia's leadership) is in OFAC sanctions list due to Crimea occupation, but he also has Finnish citizenship and he's not in EU's sanctions list. Due to being on OFAC list Finnish banks are refusing to accept payments coming from his Finnish account in fear of US actions (including fines and sanctions against the banks).

If you are not even allowed to do things in cash (and to be honest, it's pretty close to that in Finland already), you would also need to disallow banks from blocking transactions that are not breaking local laws. Otherwise in the worst case you are making it so that foreign governments have power to force people to commit crimes (like being unable to pay taxes since bank refuses to move the money).
I had the same experience. I've never slept better in my life.
This is fascinating; thank you. How does an audio book read by the author, such as Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential, which contains autobiographical information, compare? Is it more like a social situation that you need real time to absorb, or do you prefer it at a higher speed? How does a stage play compare? Do you watch movies sped up?

Also, how does your "baud" vary with your familiarity with the ideas? I can't imagine it's independent. As a ~35 year old programmer with a decade of professional experience and a decade of hobby experience before that, I cracked open SICP for the first time and found almost everything familiar. I had digested the ideas from other sources, so I could read at a "natural" rate. If I had read it as a teenager, it would have been a mindfuck, and I would have taken multiple slow readings to understand. When you talk about numbers like 800, are you talking about writing that challenges you and changes the way you think, or are you talking about stuff you do for a living that is just information you're already primed to accommodate?
>If a driver can't check their email or whatever on their phone while autopilot is on, then autopilot is not safe to put in cars.

Have you ever looked at other drivers on the highway? You see people texting, emailing, eating, shaving, doing their makeup, reading a book, the list goes on and on. If there is an activity you can do while seated, odds are people are doing it while driving.

That is one of the flaws with a lot of the complaints about Autopilot. The question isn't whether Autopilot is safer than an attentive driver. It is whether it is safer than the average driver and the average driver is not attentive 100% of the time. And there simply isn't enough data available in the public to say whether a Tesla with Autopilot is or is not safer than the average driver.
IMHO it's primarily because you have to process and comprehend the information in order to make a decision about what's important enough to jot down.

Although, anecdotally, I find that writing notes by hand is better for recall than typing.

I'm not sure if this is because writing activates different parts of the brain, or simply because writing is slower and forces me to therefore think harder and comprehend better because I need to be 2x as selective about what makes it into my notes.

My money's on the latter, but who knows?

Much like AWS spun out of their in-house experience running flexible computing infrastructure, this would be a natural fit for them to flex their logistics strengths.

Via their multi-channel fulfillment offerings, you can already use Amazon's logistics network to ship your products sold on or off of Amazon. This would just be supporting more type of shipments than just fulfillment.

On the other hand, Fedex, DHL, UPS etc have built a big part of their strengths of shipping worldwide overnight. That's very different than what Amazon does, where they try to warehouse products close to customers to minimize shipping distance and time. Great when you want to buy an iPhone, but not suitable for shipping a document from New York City to Tokyo.
