The problem with AWS teams in general is their arrogance. I dread having to deal with them. They are destroying Amazon’s reputation.

Don’t want to bother you with specific examples, but every interaction I had with them was dreadful.

I think this attitude gets reflected in their console design.

I'm fully aware I'm the minority, but I only read DRM-free books. What's a good ebook reader I can get these days that has good bang for buck?
Eww, they made this opt-out now? That might actually convince me to migrate...
Well, boo. Sounds like a terrible redesign is incoming for Goodreads. Personally, I like that it's a list-making app with minimal social aspects. Social networks are terrible. I don't want to "dish about the latest author gossip". I don't want algorithmic recommendations that assume I'll want to read another book that has 90% of the same keywords as the book I just read. Goodreads works fine for me.
It's an IEEE† publication ("Our default weighting is optimized for the typical Spectrum reader, ..."), my guess would be that their audience is weighted heavily towards EEs/Comp. Eng./embedded systems types and more research oriented professionals.

It has a steep learning curve.

Every time something new roles out and AWS doesn't have a button for that one thing, your static site trying to follow the best practices now needs to know this and have python package managers installed and updated.

I would say it is a legitimate complaint, it is a horrible user experience amongst people who aren't even considering what other people would think of it.
> the limited data available was largely positive yet research was basically banned.

Which is prima facie insane; these drugs are named for their ability to affect the brain, and have some of the most diverse and potent effects of known mind-affecting drugs. Especially since some of the most-wanted drugs, treatments for depression, are not that easy to tell from a placebo.

When we treat an infection, a cancer, or an autoimmune response, we have a huge range of medicines including incredibly potent scorched-earth stuff. When it comes to the mind, our most powerful drugs are... lithium? Adderall? To be fair, we have very powerful antipsychotics but when it comes to more mundane disease we are just really underpowered. Adderall is a band-aid and even lithium isn't that great.

We're crippling ourselves by not investigating more drugs. I don't expect to figure out the core mechanisms underlying the brain in the same way we can figure out, say, antibiotics and antivirals, but there are a huge number of psychoactive drugs and any of them could just be waiting to be weaponized.

But I think your right, should open it up a bit on the main page. You don’t need to log in but I think your right, it could be more appealing on the home page. If enough interest, we may fire up the development again and see where it goes now that we know people other than us are also frustratedly with Goodreads.

> Or, it could be the result of a nefarious military operation conducted by an unknown state actor, but that’s pure speculation.

My bet is that it was due to natural causes. Underwater currents, seafloor landslide or something similar.

That humans did this undetected is possible but why would anyone with the capability bother? It would likely cost more to pull off than it could possibly be worth. And, for a state actor, the consequences of getting caught far outweigh any benefit.

Power users use very different workflows than read-only users. You can serve pages from a 30-minute-old cache to the 99.9% of passive readers and it doesn't hurt that much. Editors use "Recent Changes" to monitor edits, and that's much easier to render in real time because the audience is comparatively minuscule.
- You can have a transcendent experience without any drugs at all.

- Your brain can perform [all] the chemical manipulations required in a much safer manner than e.g. flooding your system with synthetic LSD.

- If you have a therapeutic system that works in the first place then [drugs would be a sideshow [at best]].

- Adding LSD to ineffective scattershot therapies will just amplify random aspects of the subject's psychology.

The first point seems consistent with anything I've read on the subject, but the rest don't seem backed by anything I've read, if not contrary. (I've added brackets for emphasis on specific parts where applicable).

If you could point me in any direction to some reading I've missed it would be appreciated.

MIT Media Labs acted the way it did because they accurately assumed you guys would act the way you are.

Its the government's job to prosecute people and encumber assets.

If the assets were part of a crime, the government has all the tools in the world to freeze those assets even if I don't agree with that ability either. if the government does not have the capability of freezing the assets, they have the capability of flagging them via sanctioning of [foreign] individuals.

this is not the responsibility of recipients. it is disingenuous to pretend like it is.

MIT Media Labs acted the way it did because they accurately assumed you guys would act the way you did. Think about all the other anonymous donations that occurred over the last decade and even today. You have no idea who is doing what and it doesn't matter. You still want projects funded, you still want cancer cured. The transactions themselves really has nothing to do with people's "access" and behavior.

Focus on the good the money did. Focus on it being Bill Gates' money if it helps you sleep better. Focus on the money not being "discovered" to be proceeds of human trafficking.

If you are a new programmer, there is one major omission to this and the other lists: binary notation.

> If I was able to choose one person on Earth to do psychedelics and write about it afterwards, Scott Alexander would be my #1 pick by far.

Huh, I just realized that for all the years I've been reading about him (and the adjacent communities) talk about psychedelics, I've been implicitly holding the assumption that Scott had done psychedelics.
It did prior to the early 2000's, I've read (but cant find the source) that they changed the manufacture to reduce the number of nitrotessamines to be in the same range as the swedish style.

Austin's infrastructure is broken and poor because it (like many cities in the US) were not at all designed in mind with a growing population.

So as people move around to cities like Austin, they place immense stress on the transit system while the city is unable to act due to both the regional and state politics and poor city planning. The rapid gentrification of the city outpaces the creation of new homes or businesses which means in 5-10 years Austin will be in a really, really bad state.
I guess it depends on the Domain. For example if you look at Ruby in Non Web Development it would be literally mid to bottom of the list. But if you look at Web, Ruby is constantly in Top 10.

Is it considered "nationalistic flamewar" when people comment that maybe certain countries shouldn't even try to explore space? Just asking.
Because "physical safety regulations" is something that the majority understands, so it's hard to argue against that in public. With digital security, most people lack the mental models to follow the discussion, so it's really easy for lobbyists to tell them flatout lies about how those damn dems are out to take their smart lightbulbs away from them.

That's because the recommendation systems are optimizing for the wrong things: typically dwell time. You are highly likely to dwell longer on scifi, so heres more scifi for you!

Older recommendation systems use background and foreground timeframes to build frames of references, hence repeats.

The question to ask then is: what is the correct thing to optimize for? Dwell time is usually chosen for advertising and stickiness (you are more likely to stick with a service that plays what you like). Optimizing for novelty is difficult because the set of unknown things is much larger than the set of known things. Plus, it is risky from a business point of view.

Even if their ratio Expenses / Assets has now decreased compared to 3-5 years ago (but stalls now), it means that their goal of financial independence is still very far away and they still rely heavily on a huge amount of donations.

In Vienna, the shop I bought my supplies had all products tested by local TÜV NORD and they mixed liquids on site. Nowadays I buy and mix myself from standard 50/50 PG/VG mix from known source. I had mixed results with imported premixed liquids (off smell, not consistent viscosity - went to bin) and that promptly stopped me from buying more of premixed stuff (along with problematic regulations of container sizes).

Anything you add to the liqiud other than nicotine and PG/VG may be problematic. You never really know what is in imported premixed liquid, what cutting agents were used, what purity of source material was.

It seems that CDC is seeing some results of cost cutting, using stuff that was not really meant to be vaped mixed to keep margins better.

Obooquity and Calibre can both be made to do some of this via LazyLibrarian. It’s giving you a nice local library rather than recommendations, but it’s pulling the wanted/read info from Goodreads into LazyLibrarian. It is a good tool for curating a library but is also pretty clearly aimed at pirating ebooks.
I recently ran into a problem, and started to bring together and idea for a project that could help solve it, but I'm worried that the problem is born out of a set of unique problems I have that not enough people would care about.

Was it? I thought the original argument was mostly about how interest rates affect housing prices. The particular bit you quoted --

> If they fall to 5%, the value of that same stream of flowers doubles to £2,000

-- and asked "how would that work?" about, wasn't about how buying and selling houses affects the prices or rates-of-return of other assets, it was about how prevailing interest rates affect the prices of houses. Which is what my comment addressed.

Incidentally, it's very rare to "trade a house for another house". You buy houses for money, and sell houses for money. (You often do those two things together, but often the house you buy is quite different in price from the house you sell, and in any case the buyer and the seller are different people, so this still isn't equivalent to trading one house for another.) This isn't just nitpickery; it's because houses are bought and sold for money that could be used for other things that their prices can interact with the prices of other things.

The typical academic essay doesn't (IME) really prepare students that well. What I felt worked best was a CS professor I had whose courses were entirely project-based and 50% of the grade was based on a report of your work. It was much closer to the type of writing an engineer will need to do and it was one of the most helpful experiences I had in school.

Learning how to write well is important, but I didn't feel that any of the lit classes I took helped greatly.
The expensive part is not really the stations, the expensive part is that the design prioritizes one seat rides over transfer connections.

The station spacing is not really an issue in New York since the subway has express overlays and the commuter rail system for even faster travel. This is compared to Beijing or Shanghai, which have no/poor regional rail to speak of.

You aren't really removing the commute. You're replacing the work commute with the grocery/social life/needs etc commute. Which is also far less efficient on a community-level because those smaller towns and suburbs have to be strongly subsidized in order to maintain infrastructure that far fewer people use. Not to mention that by working remote you're also starving those small towns of business growth opportunities by having it be centralized in another state, which means paying for new infrastructure is much harder especially given how tax-averse Americans tend to be.
Has starving poorly run government authorities ever worked?
If you have an iMessage chat that includes any Chinese user, you should consider it compromised. Whoever controls the key server with the users' public keys can eavesdrop on the conversations. For Chinese users, that is a Chinese company controlled by the Chinese government. For non-Chinese users, that is Apple. https://threatpost.com/apple-imessage-open-to-man-in-the-mid...

As far as whether your iCloud data becomes readable by the Chinese government if you travel to China, that is a reasonable fear and one that Apple should address. It is possible, even likely, that the great firewall blocks iCloud servers outside of China, which would mean the only way to access your data would be to have it available on servers that the Chinese government can also access. https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2018/02/24/chine...
