> We have a lot of upset customers thinking that GitLab self-managed telemetry will be mandatory for Self-Managed GitLab moving forward

It may not be mandatory now but, by agreeing to the new Terms of Service, it can be mandatory at any time in the future without being notified/needing to agree to the change (since it's already in the ToS). This Slack conversation is just as short-sighted as the blog post.

I'm surprised the proposal to allow third-party scripts (something GitLab doesn't control!) to run on customer's closed environments made it out of a 30-minute meeting.

When I was a child, I visited the computer museum in Boston, and have very fond memories of it. I dearly wish it still existed in the same form today, I would appreciate it so much more.
Fair point.

Although, I will point out the United States has a similar instrument of enforcing its way around the world.

However, it isn't GPDR, but rather the AGM-114 Hellfire missile. Not that I really disagree with most of the cases. But still, it is enforcing one's political will beyond "official" borders, short of declaring war.

Agreed. Been wanting to post this comment for some time now:

When comments are downvoted, sometimes to oblivion, yet have many and deep set of replies, doesn't that indicate something wrong with the downvotes? The point is to have a substantive discussion and in the case (which is common) I'm noting, the downvoted comment has done just that.

I think any comment should get implied/automatic upvotes for each reply, on a power scale. Say a floor of 2 or maybe 3, then after that 1 or more points for each child comment increasing as the number of comments increase.

I realize that system is subject to abuse, but does it really matter? Whereas OTOH it prevents the echo chamber for hot button topics.

At this time, the now actually dead GP comment has 30 children! It is by definition a worthy comment.
I was definitely one of the 900.
Depends what you say to them.

If you say "hey guys, feel free to use this storage to host stuff" and then delete it, then yes, you're an asshole.

If you say "hey guys, I have some hard drive space, send me stuff you think I might like and if I like it I'll host it for a while before deleting it" then no, you're not an asshole.

If you say something that sounds like the first statement but is actually the second statement because of some obfuscated legalese attached to a footnote, and then delete it, then you're back to being an asshole.

Intel makes rather pessimistic assumptions about AMD and uses the model name to pick which code path to use and ignores the CPU flags for floating point, etc.

So if you want to compare performance fairly I'd use gcc (or at least a non-intel compiler) and one of the MKL like libraries (ACML, gotoblas, openblas, etc). AMD has been directly contributing to various projects to optimize for AMD CPUs. They used to have their own compiler (that went from SGI -> cray -> pathscale or similar), but since then I believe have been contributing to GCC, LLVM, and various libraries.
I now always wear Ety plugs to concerts, shows or loud convention spaces. I had a bit of hearing damage from a bike accident. I now also double up on protection when I go to my local indoor shooting range. I have rubber ear-plugs and wear a pair of MSA Sordin Pro X electric headphones (allow you to hear surrounding sounds with the headphones on) along with the ear-plugs. I'd be surprised if tech like the Etymotic shooting ear protection doesn't become common place in the future, for general use.

I’ve used LSD and psilocybin, though not for many years, and have had minor, infrequent, non-disruptive hallucinations.

They usually consist of momentary visual deformations of repeating patterns, e.g., tiles on a BART platform will appear to shift or move. These visual variances are a small taste of a full-on trip, in which everything can shift, move, or dance.

It’s nice to see others have shared this experience.

Related: Psychedelics caused me to have a permanent, positive attitude adjustment. I recommend them highly.
Tesla, with this report, is looking much more like a mature company that is attractive to traditional investors.

They have a 'headwind' in that they're selling less expensive cars, leasing more, and continuing large expansions in manufacturing (gig 3) and service.

Nevertheless, they've reigned in costs and are putting up disciplined profits just the same. Their results are aggressive, but calculated. It's a far different situation from the 'bet the company' roll-out of the Model 3. They weathered the storm, and are doing what they can to provide confidence to investors.

The last earning report was their first indication of being 'through the woods'. This more-or-less confirms the trend, so you can start looking ahead. Tesla has several very interesting projects going forward, and now it looks like they have the core business they need to sustain that.

It's very easy to read this as an inflection point.

The last inflection was the Model 3 announcement. Things were looking optimistic, and share prices reflected that. But the Model 3 launch was anything but smooth, and there was a reasonable argument to be made that Tesla would fall, not merely stumble.

My guess; reasonable numbers from China will drive a new ATH.

If you're relying on luck, you're headed in the wrong direction. I was very late in the game, at least 2 years past the big market boom in my area of expertise, but I saw that the momentum was there to keep carrying on. I was working during those two years to be ready to fully launch, and I'm now making a modest but comfortable $200k/yr in a place with moderate cost of living.

If this hadn't come along, I had several backup plans I could turn into a viable business. You have to learn to see the money and take the money, but that's a learnable skillset.

I also had an uncle that just had a nose for what the next big thing was going to be. He made more money than I do, but he knew what the next big thing was going to be because he learned everything he could about small reaches from his current operation and talked to everyone.

I recommend asking yourself if an idiot would do what you are going to do. Do the opposite. I took lsd by myself, with no one home at 5pm.

I don't see it as about computer literacy, but rather a cultural/technological change over time.

Up until some point probably post-2000, desktop computers were the norm, which had main chassis connected to peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and monitors.

At some point, certainly by 2010, laptops became the majority, which have both input and display integrated. So the referent of CPU, other than the actual chip, no longer existed for most users.

The minie ball was not invented until 1830's and did not see wide use until the American Civil war and after in the 1860's. The Founding Fathers were working with muskets and only muskets, they never imagined that the average person could own a AR15 (M4).
> And the evidence that someone prone to schizophrenia who develops it because of drug use but wouldn't have otherwise developed schizophrenia is scant or non-existent.

It's much easier to prove that something happens, than something doesn't happen.

There is a lot of evidence that suggests that taking psychedellics can lead to schizophrenia. To conclusively prove that that person wouldn't have gotten it without those drugs is extremely difficult.

While I 100% agree that we can't conclusively prove causation at this point, we do have solid evidence that there is a correlation, and that shouldn't be discounted given the research into psycheddelics is too immature to have a chance of proving anything past that.

It’s actually a bit more wild than that! SFO is always too close to land both runways at once via IFR alone. The second tail plane is required to land while maintaining separation visually, which can’t be done in bad weather. Also, since wakes are what they are, the second plane has to be the heavier one. Which is how you get extremely large planes landing at a major international airport under requirements in part for VFR.

Yeah, that is an absolutely essential skillset. If not that, you at least need to have an eye for other people's talents and how they could be best utilized, and know how to connect the dots for other people.

This is definitely something you can get a LOT better at with practice and study though!! You probably will never be ungodly talented, but you probably don't need to be either.

Yeah I have several permanent overhangs from my experiences with psychedelics as well. At one point I did 500+ug of LSD in a single trip and I am still working through PTSD from some of my delusions.

That said, the net effect on my life has been massively positive and has directly contributed to me being comfortable with myself, my body, my mind, my friends, and my place in this world.

Despite the overhangs, I highly recommend psychedelics as well. Though maybe stay under 400ug :)

> Third, it talks about HPPD-like visual hallucinations in people who have never taken psychedelic drugs. It says many people have them. [...] My only argument that this doesn’t disprove HPPD is how many people – including my survey respondents – describe these oddities starting (or getting much worse) right after they use psychedelics.

This is what I believe, and I think there's a simple reason why people often report the symptoms getting worse after taking psychedelics. They are more noticeable once you've seen the full-blown effects of the drug in comparison. Prior to that, you wouldn't have any reason to pick out those hallucinations and might unconsciously ignore them. But once you've seen the full effect then even mild instances are too obvious to ignore.

Thanks for the heads up, I was curious what Firefox's status was.

I think that's just a smart move in general. There's certainly no PR reason to preemptively turn this setting on, it's better to see what happens when Chrome does. If it turns out to be a disaster, you delay, if not, you flip the switch a few days later so you're not lagging behind on security. Again, I have a reasonable amount of respect for the amount of publicity that the Chromium team has done here, because I think that if things go wrong, they're the ones who will be blamed by most people.

It's good to bring up that Mozilla and Microsoft are also on board with this. It's not Google going off and doing something on their own or forcing the change despite objections, pretty much everyone including Mozilla seems to agree, and would like to see this change.

Nah I'd flip the complete opposite direction. Responsible use of psychedelics has many strong upsides, and I think the outright ban has done a lot of net harm to society.
