There was a New Yorker article a few years ago about an experimental psilocybin treatment program in NYU and Johns Hopkins. Obviously the numbers were quite small considering government approval would be shaky and all that but it found that it was effective in treating addiction and chronic anxiety.

Since I couldn’t reply to the guy who didn’t know we “criminalized cash”... $16,000 specifically is an issue because crossing the border with any amount of cash over $10k has to be disclosed. If you don’t, it’s considered like contraband.

No problem if you disclose and explain what it’s for, and in some cases can explain where it came from.

This is a basic money laundering protection policy almost every country I’ve gone through has similar.
That’s a pretty big project to propose to protect the “character of neighborhoods” for the benefit of the already wealthy!

How about instead just build densely on the land that already exists in cities? And not pave over the bay?
actually over $10k without declaring it. But the point is that they were not tourists that got lost. Tourists carry credit cards and all. Why would they be carrying $16,000 (USD, unless it was the equivalent of it) if they're staying in CA?
The central banks are causing the inflation. Inflation devalues the currency in circulation and increases value in the debt held by those banks - a transfer of wealth. Why would they ever want to cause deflation?

The concept of "consent" as it's used in Manufacturing Consent does not apply to those movements at all. It means more than "some people agree with x because of information that was presented to them."

For the record, the industrial salt ponds are actually very beautiful. The fact that they are salt ponds is not actually a refutation to the 'but you're destroying beauty' argument.
The TBM in the SR99 tunnel is also the largest TBM in the world. It was a bit of a gamble, and it didn't pay off. Another huge problem was that it ran into a huge metal caisson that had been placed while surveying the area to build the tunnel... The contractors operating the machine "knew" about it, but still ran into it, which broke the machine for a long time. (They were given information that it was there, but they overlooked it.)

I could equally argue it's a fantasy to believe that you will curb human greed, and/or bring a player like china to follow your rules.

In other words, I am pessimistic about humankind's ability to curb its wants, but optimistic about scientific advancement, inventors of the future, and unknown unknowns.

I hope we are both right though.
I think we still do these projects all the time, in cities of a certain development level, for the same reason we always did them: industry lobbying. This land was, almost always, reclaimed by heavy industry, for industrial use; and only later, once that industry no longer had need of it (and was being gentrified out of the area entirely) was the land re-zoned for other uses and “finished off” as a public works project.

Residential or commercial developers have never been given authorization to reclaim coastline, AFAIK. And governments very rarely do it themselves, save for when they’re essentially serving the role of an infrastructure provider to some later industry (e.g. an airport.)
The next weakness might not be "as weak" though. Sure, many might start doing something else, but it will not be as profitable or as easy (otherwise they would be doing it already). The world won't suddenly be perfect but it will be progress.
> I wouldn't dismiss it outright or trivialize it just yet.

I wasn't planning to do that. However, I'm not going to be part of any initial test-set either.

I will say, however, that I'm sceptical of the long-term prospects of this technique vis-a-vis remission. Furthermore, I'm not a huge fan of solving problems by taking strong psychotropic drugs.
A little over 2 years ago I found an iPhone while I was passing by Subways in downtown Palo Alto at around midnight. Before I had time to figure out how to get the phone back to his owner the owner called and I told him in the first sentence that I just found his phone, where I am and that I‘ll wait for him to pick it up.
In the comments right at the top a video was posted about that. Some evidently neoliberal group blaming environmentalists and labor unions for the high construction costs in the US. As if their counter examples, Canada, Japan, and the UK, don't have even better established labor unions and environmental oversight.
That's probably what contributed to the situation spiraling out of control. Once there is one denial, every other attempted entry is going to be scrutinized and questioned quite a bit more. Not that at all justifies their treatment.

> Vancouver when an animal ventured into the road, forcing them to make an unexpected detour.

> U.S. authorities disputed the family’s version of events, saying they were spotted via video surveillance “slowly and deliberately driving through a ditch onto Boundary Road in Lynden

Well if they were driving through a ditch it would have to be slow and deliberate, especially with a baby in car. I wonder if the same video surveillance saw this animal too. It would have to be a moose or a bear presumably. Wonder if they were following Google or Apple maps direction. Hopefully there is a big red warning there to not send people on detours via international borders.

> “Attempts were made to return the individuals to Canada, however, Canada refused to allow their return and two attempts to contact the United Kingdom consulate were unsuccessful,”

It's a bureaucratic hell. US authorities claim they tried to send them to Canada which refused to take them back. But also they tried to contact UK consulate, which also somehow didn't work. At the same time the family say they couldn't contact UK authorities. I think they wanted to be the ones making the call but were denied.
it seems like they do provide some sort of proxy server for this however, which explains the MRC.
(12 years of corporate IT support experience and 40 years working with tech in general)

Because it's human nature to only care about details that you believe you need to know in order to manage some part of your life.

If you don't see a clear and immediate value in learning something, you won't. No matter what anyone else says or does to try and convince you, you won't.

Then you get burned by something you didn't know, and there's a 50/50 chance you'll learn about it then, and only if you're convinced that it's something YOU have to do, that can't be managed for you.

And most people resent having to learn that much.

I no longer try to convince anyone of anything tech related. And rarely answer much when I am asked, unless I can see that the person is truly interested, not just curious about some buzzword.

A legal and safe psychedelic retreat center in the Netherlands is https://synthesisretreat.com/

They have experienced guides/facilitators who can help in case someone is having a challenging experience while on psilocybin, and they have medical staff on premise if anyone needs it. The one caveat to note is that even though I'd say the retreat center is 90% secular/scientific, there's still a 10% remnant of non-scientific woo such as "shamanism" and "energy flows" and "cosmic surgery" that might be a turn off for the atheistic scientist crowd. Worth taking a peek though.

No one said anything about Putin, so we can't really argue that. I could pose another hypothetical and say I guess they wouldn't have banned him if he said he believes LGTBQ+ people deserve equal rights. We don't know because those didn't happen, making them not particularly useful statements.

What we can say is that the operator of Blizzard games in China, Net Ease, while posting about this incident under a Blizzard branded account, said that they would protect and defend the pride of China. Blizzard has not distanced themselves from this statement, "clarified" it, or done anything whatsoever to indicate that this stance is not the truth.

When someone you have authorized to represent you is making a statement in your name, it will be taken as being endorsed, unless you state otherwise.

It's not about refusing to learn new things. You're missing the point. It's about having to think about (and having to apologize for it if you don't think about) something that's completely irrelevant to the conversation.

Others have rightly pointed out that there are some StackExchange networks where your pronoun matters. And I'm sure in those, it's worth putting in the effort. But for StackOverflow, MathOverflow, Electronics, these things are absolutely, positively irrelevant to the subject. It neither adds nor takes away a sense of inclusivity because _it's not relevant_. It's a neutral thing.
So can I tell you "shut up and consult some geodesic models" when you spread the gospel that Earth is round?

> Linking to my earlier comparison with professional athletes: You can lose your title, be fined and be banned for behaving improperly.

This wasn't improper behavior that affected the result of the athletic event, though. Is it true that people are getting year long bans from their sport just for behaving improperly? Like, isn't Nick Kyrgios' on-court tennis behavior worse than this and yet he's still at events? I think as an athlete you have to be doping -- actually affecting event results -- to get this severe a punishment.

Another reason to be more lenient is that while Blitzchung knew some trouble would come, this was an unprecedented situation and the amount of trouble wasn't predictable by him.

How to create a survey to see if your startup idea will work
Both moving companies elsewhere and increasing remote work are highly practical approaches!

Is it perhaps possible that there may be reasons that public policy has not favored these approaches, and neither has the labor pool as a whole? For my own part, I find the benefits of living in a major point of economic agglomeration to be quite nice and not something that can be replicated by remote links.
There's a book called "Toxic Charity" that really changed my views on giving, charity, and helping others in general. The upshot is that most of our quick-hit solutions like this just end up creating more problems and leaving people feeling worse.

I think there is a lot of value in bold new design, and it is worth taking risks, but it encourages two sorts of copycats: the developer who wants to make a statement on the cheap, which allegedly gave us the back side of the New York By Gehry, and the second-rate architect who wants to express himself rather than serve the community, which results in a rash of undistinguished architectural misdemeanors, rather than high-profile cases.

Now that the high tide of dogmatic modernism seems to have passed, its excesses offers sites that can be redeveloped without losing anything of value.

>Wait, but unions are not necessarily protectionist.

Please define what you mean by "protectionist".

In what sense are unions not protectionist? Their sole function is to protect the labour market. I'd view unions in Australia as really protectionist: they've managed to secure very high minimum wages, as well as highly restrictive immigration policies that Trump praised to high heaven.[0]

>Also the protectionist government you are referring to the cabinet which was active until 1903

Their immigration policy[1] lasted for decades, before being replaced by the current immigration policy. The Protectionist Party[2] hung around until 1909, when they merged into the Commonwealth Liberal Party. This party was a predecessor of the current Liberal Party:

Protectionist + Anti-Socialist -> Commonwealth Liberal

Commonwealth Liberal + National Labor -> Nationalist

Nationalist + dissident Labor + Australian -> United Australian -> Liberal

So there is still protectionism hanging around in both major political parties today.

>the productivity growth in the 1990s was followed by Labour winning majority in the parliament. What am I missing?

It's spelled Labor, because modern spelling.[3] And Labor was in power from 1983 to 1996 (Hawke[4], then Keating[5]), so that productivity growth in the 1990s... probably Labor's fault? Lol. I think the proliferation of personal computers may have had more to do with it.

I want to do this with my nieces and nephew, if they and their parents are willing. I think I already screwed up, though, when I bought Amazon Fire tablets for three of them for Christmas in 2017. Granted, they were around 3 years old at the time, so maybe they couldn't handle anything more. Still, I'm wondering what I should buy them next time. My sense of nostalgia tells me that I should buy them something at least as hackable as my Apple IIGS was. But that might not be practical. As one of my best friends pointed out to me, if I buy them an all-open-source computer, they're likely to protest, "But Uncle Matt, why can't it play [insert kids' TV show here]?". And they're not likely to accept my anti-DRM stance.

True, if your motive is profit above all else.

Otherwise, it is quite simple to ignore China's demands. Create the products, services, etc. that you want to create. If people in China buy them, fine. If China says they'll buy them if only you do Thing X, if you do not morally agree with Thing X, simply do not do it.

There are near limitless numbers of businesses that are economically viable without catering to China's demands.

These two things just don't even remotely follow. Socialism isn't Marxism, therefore there have only ever existed Neoliberal and Marxian economic systems?

Furthermore, do you believe the United States was Neoliberal in, say, 1963?
