With sea level rise projected to be less than two meters in the next century, why not? Unless the land is extremely low lying, like some sand covered atoll in the Pacific, the property will outlast both yourself and your children.

You are free to fork, but that doesn't make it right.

Imagine a well-funded startup trying to make a name for themselves decided to fork the top 10 emerging open source projects, put their company name on them, and then spend millions in PR/marketing so that (A) it seems like they invented them, and (B) they fork the community. Are they free to? Is it right? What will it mean for the original authors and experts who created the software?

I happened to be reading this yesterday: dstat is dead. Red Hat decided to rewrite it using pcp, so the original author has given up. https://github.com/dagwieers/dstat/issues/170

Is Red Hat free to? (probably). Is it right? Now that's where I'd want to see a strong reason.

That sounds like a pretty human failure mode to me.
50 mcg is a pretty small dose. Not as small as micro-dosing, but like first timer being extra cautious sized.

1000-1400 mcg is like 5-7 solid doses, which is no joke, but it's not 20-30 doses like you sort of imply.

I think it's no question that psychedelics are mind opening. But maybe a psychosis is something that happens to an open mind too. Personally I explained some mildly strange visual effects/thoughts (long after my acid trips) to the fact that I know what's possible to happen with my mind and my mind knows it too. And only for that reason that weird place is just a another new option now. If I wouldn't have experienced them, my mind may never come up with them.

“Revealed” implies that there is some sort of single source of truth for the image (as in your book example, where the source of truth is the original book, to which transcriptions could be compared for accuracy).

That is not the case for photography.

In film photography, the “latent image” is mere fiction - there is no single image waiting to be revealed. What there is is a bunch of silver salts suspended in gelatin reacting to temperature, electromagnetic radiation, etc. When you want to turn this into an image that the human eye can make sense of, you make them react further with a specific developer/fixer at a specific dilution, in a controlled environment. Changing any of these parameters will lead to a different image, well after the initial exposure was made.

In digital photography, you have a set of charge readings, that you then turn into colored pixels following an arbitrary process that can be as complex as you want it to be. You can merely average nearby values and use the result, or run them through a neural network designed to <make colors more accurate | make people look younger | replace trees with sharks | whatever you want> and use the result. Either is a computational process.

Now we can certainly draw semantic distinctions, like “this person wasn’t in the picture when it was taken”, or “this person had a pimple on their nose that was removed”. But as mentioned earlier, these are fuzzy and arbitrary. Is a long shot exposure of the Milky Way a “rewritten” image? What about an HDR image? What to make of early digital photography features like red eye removal?

(Answer: it doesn’t matter, all photography is the result of a chemical or computational process, and there is no such thing as a “true” image)

I'm happy with self-hosting Gitea.
This is for my own project though, so I don't know how it scales to large projects.
How are people starting and maintaining these side projects and still finding the time to satisfy human needs? I'm mid to late 20s, single, and there's no way I could spend the time whilst also having a robust social life.

I would like to know a sampling of age or status. Are people with the successful side projects fairly settled down?
Interestingly, I was struck by the colors you used and instantly checked your code to find the palette. Your use of scale_fill_hue is beyond anything I’ve seen before. Where can I learn more?

Yes I think the Knowledge Is Power aphorism leads mistakenly to a Knowledge-Value-Function K(x) > 0 for any item of knowledge x.

But knowledge value is only positive if it helps you achieve your goal, when recalled. Otherwise the time taken to recall and discard knowledge is a negative. So really optimal knowledge is where you only know what you need to achieve your goals.

The term "liberal" in the US has lost it's meaning. What we often call "liberals" in the US are more like "leftists" than the traditional liberal way of life and thought.

Classical Liberalism if very, very far from what the Democratic party pushes these days. In fact, I would venture a guess that most thinking people are Classical Liberals. I make the distinction about "thinking" people not to be elitists at all, but rather because it is obvious that there are those who blindly follow and then there are those who choose to be more analytical and actually think rather than follow. Problems, as Einstein famously said, cannot be solved from the state of mind that created them in the first place.

This is where, I think, Classical Liberalism fits. I happen to think it is an ideology that would do the most good and deliver the greatest benefits across the board.

In case someone reading this isn't clear on the distinction, here's a good explanation:

I'm on the run so can't respond in depth, but check out ototoxic drugs which attack the auditory nerve. SSRIs may not be directly ototoxic but numerous studies have shown that sertraline can cause tinnitus, due to the role that serotonin plays in filtering audio signals. So there are multiple causes of tinnitus, and the impact of SSRIs is partially known but not fully understood.
No problem. At the time I was particularly sloppy with my terminology and that didn't help discourse much.
I'm not OP but it comes from the fact that Spectre is a very specific bug, but is colloquially used to refer to all speculative execution bugs found after as well. So its true that AMD is susceptible to Spectre; However, the mitigations have a much lower effect on performance. Additionally AMD is not susceptible to the multitude of additional speculative execution bugs found in the time since Spectre was first announced.

To anyone who disagrees with this, is there any inaccuracy above? I was trying to make a factual observation and included a source.

Does anyone have a reference to support the "conclusion of the Mueller report was that the president would have been indicted if it weren't for a standing policy that the president cannot be indicted"?
I see what you're saying, but he is claiming that some people might literally see auras around other people.

Or the other person sees a literal grid in her visual field all the time and projects meaning onto it.

And that's within normal human variation. Sure you can imagine that bats or octopuses have much weirder subjective experiences.

But it's still not something that's widely recognized. They would likely say if you literally see auras then you must be a crazy, non-functioning person, when really it's just a quirk of your perception that is invisible to everyone else.
I worked there 10 years ago and couldn't tell you then.

Newsweek had 300 staff and two IT departments: one for PC, one for Mac. Around 30 people total.

Newsweek was independent, so it had its own HR and legal teams. It had 4 people just to lay out ads in the magazine, even though they could all have been replaced with software.

Newsweek was owned by Washington Post, then Sidney Harman, then IAC. It was never profitable.

When we were acquired, rumor was we were losing $70 million a year.

Newsweek.com ran a full page takeover ad for scabies medicine. A gross scabies covered old man back was the first thing visitors saw on our homepage.

Vintage filth: a guide to history’s rudest texts
I noticed you called out both Jordan Peterson and James Demore. So I'd guess you're a radical leftist with some kind of funny gender agenda. I find that just as distasteful as white supremacists on the far right.

Unlike you though, I think freedom of speech trumps everything. You should be free to espouse your unfortunate views, as should everyone else. When you deny a voice to people you just drive the thinking underground where they get stuck in an echo chamber like Nchan with no moderating or criticizing voices. That's the real danger.

I'd much rather have neo-nazis giving talks at universities where people won't take them seriously, boo them, and debate them than escalating in an 8chan echo chamber until someone does something radical like a mass shooting.

This is me pushing back against your ideology and hopefully providing a small check to the certainty with which you hold your views. Slightly more productive than trying to silence you.
One of the biggest pieces of news from the earnings call is that they're planning on supplying batteries/powertrains to other carmakers.

That's a great idea for several reasons:

1) Of all parts of the car (ignoring autonomy-related stuff), Tesla is best at the battery and powertrain. They have a sizable efficiency advantage compared to almost anyone else. By supplying this key part, they should be able to maximize the value of this advantage. Other carmakers are probably better at super high luxury interiors or low cost interiors (although Tesla has interesting ideas and a nice aesthetic--which is subjective and thus could limit their demand, which this move avoids).

2) It indirectly gives them access to more EV credits. Tesla's credits are all but expired in the US. They will be all gone after Q4. So they'd be at a huge disadvantage to a company like VW who owns a bunch of "manufacturers" which each have access to their own set of EV credits but could use a common powertrain platform. By providing powertrains to other car companies, they can indirectly pull kind of the same trick.

3) It means they can make them compatible with the Supercharger network, thus spreading the cost of developing and expanding that network over more companies and giving them an economy of scale. At a large enough scale and serving other carmakers, they could actually make some money this way.

4) It allows them to focus on automating this aspect of electric car manufacturing. Their sizable R&D budget for powertrain can now access tens of millions of vehicles per year instead of just a few hundred thousand vehicles. It also maximizes the benefit of streamlining cell production and bringing it in-house (although I think it's possible Tesla may keep the higher performance cells for their own vehicles and use Panasonic or LG Chem cells for 3rd party vehicles, like they've done with Powerwall and are doing with Shanghai Model 3). Fully automating production of the powertrain/battery would become far more plausible at two orders of magnitude greater scale.

5) Allows them to make the biggest impact on climate emissions as fast as possible. Scaling up carmaking is hard. Focusing on the battery and powertrain is something they're already good at and can significantly help reduce global emissions.

6) Allows them to decarbonize their service vehicles and other logistics vehicles (perhaps even mining equipment), making a better argument about how their embodied emissions are actually very low (and falling).

7) It also helps other carmakers which helps Tesla curry social and political support (instead of the "Tesla vs the World" status they currently seem to have).

They provided powertrains/batteries to other companies in the past, like the Smart car or Toyota's electric Rav4. Back when it looked like Tesla might be in financial trouble, I considered this strategy as a significant backstop in case things went south. But deploying it now is probably an even better idea, now that they've scaled up to the point that they've used up all their EV credits.
A fair chunk of internet content is hosted in the cloud. So while comcast knows exactly what IPs you are talking to they can't tell much else.

This prevents them from tracking your habits, selling that data, and creating or marketing competition. It also makes it harder to crippling the network for some specific competitor like youtube or netflix.

How else is Comcast going to hold it's users hostage so netflix has to pay extra to get the bits the customers paid to get?
There’s already an excellent case study of exactly this: Sony.

Me too and it's probably not a result of taking psychedelics; as I've never tried them recreationally. I did, however, have vivid hallucinations as a result of Nitrous oxide at the dentist office as a child.

I don't think I see floaters, as my vision doesn't require correction. They also seem unrelated to afterimage.

>may have triggered schizophrenia in some patients

The same is true of marijuana, although the key word is triggered, and not necessarily caused. (Obviously some debate about this)

It's not randomly distributed among the general population, which suggests it mainly affects persons already predisposed.

Black American teen boys seem especially at risk, in a population that otherwise sees symptoms present in the early 30's.

But the striking thing to me, is that it typically happens with the very first dose, is acute onset, and is irreversible.
Knowing that you linger longer on that topic is good enough to know that the topic is likely to get further engagement from you though - people like to spend time arguing about things that annoy them as well so you don't only want to show things that make people smile.

If you interact in any way with a post, you can do sentiment analysis on the text too to figure out their thoughts on the topic.

I just don't see facial analysis being that powerful over the above. You're already giving Facebook and Twitter a ton of information about what you enjoy via likes, shares and follows, without having to get into the subtleties of what it means if you half-smile or frown when you see a post.
I have nothing to say about those points. I don't know enough to support or reject them.
It looks like the Fenix 3 or maybe a Fenix 5, range there is $400-$800 or so. Unclear whether they're issuing the MARQ watches. The Fenix series does everything the MARQ does but for 1/4 the price. The most expensive flight oriented watch they sell (outside the MARQ, which offers no additional features) is something like $1200-$1300.

The main issue here is that a single buzzword won’t give your pitch the punch it needs. Specific, enticing detail is what pulls people in. Recruiters are loath to share too much, so these messages just become more of the same.
Just imagine if Comcast loses the ability to hold content providers hostage. With DOH it's much harder to tell that most of your customers are streaming from Netflix, so it's much harder to artificially degrade their network connections so you can ask Netflix to pay extra.

As someone with insider information into this specific situation I would simply remind you that were people willing to pay 50 cents for this app, Fleksy wouldn't have needed to sell to Pinterest and therefore would not have.

I'm bothered by how pilloried I am consistently when mentioning that most of these are 'free' apps and someone, somewhere, somehow needs to pay for it. Very few 'open source' projects make good 'Products' (they help, but alone OSS is not consumer oriented). It takes work to do these things. All kinds of work.

$1/download or 25 cents/month would wipe out 1/2 of consumer issues like this pretty quickly, but almost nobody wants to pay.
But would version control solve the email issue? I guess I would still rather get an email with a git repo or patch than I would a word document with a revision set.
Having experienced both microdoses and full blown hallucinatory trip doses, I've arrived at the conclusion that hallucinatory doses are arguably overdoses of these substances.

As with any powerful drug, dosage matters more than anything.
I know this is just automating how people have been touching up photos for decades, but IMO it is still a bit sad, especially when it comes to touching up people's faces. God forbid we should see each other as we are, slightly yellowed teeth, pores and all.

Again, I know this has been going on for decades, but I still worry that by automating more of it, it will lead to a bigger degree of "sameness" in photos.
