>Not only is your advice based on assumptions that do not hold ("it will usually work out better", "enjoying the serotonin", "brain will be back on topic") but it's actively dangerous since it introduces non-deterministic outside inputs that experienced psychonauts _all agree_ can be devastatingly hard to deal with.

Except that is not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that you should be in a set and setting that you are really comfortable with. I.e. a lot of people love watching sitcoms for example and feel very comfortable doing that. Their mind will react very predictable because the set and setting is insanely familiar. It will guide your mind through a very predictable trip.

Trying to meditate when you are not used to it when doing psychedelics for the first time? That is a non-predictable setting and then when people start worry because they feel bad they are also thinking about why their parents never really hugged them and start spiraling.

I would say bad trips are pretty rare in practice but I would say almost all I have noticed among people or people have written about have been:

Chaotic outside influence like people behaving badly, them being in an unfamiliar environment or becoming scared because they feel ill.

or

People in perfectly fine settings sitting down and start spiraling because they suddenly think they are not doing well in life, are not liked or whatever. That usually starts by them seeking depth or thinking about things to get more out of a trip. Which is perfectly fine but it is not the best way to avoid a bad trip.

>Doing psychedelics at a party is playing russian roulette with your sanity, fullstop.

I did not say that you should do psychedelics at a party even if I think that roughly the same case of bad trips as trying to "be deep" when tripping.
Her powers of pattern recognition must be extraordinary. I know that enhanced pattern recognition has been associated with savant syndrome [0]; I wonder if her abilities are worthy of scientific study? Or maybe it just seems incredible to me because I'm particularly bad at this task.

It’s disingenuous to assert that the alternative to no pension is blood in the streets.
I've noticed that at my current company as well. There's one reviewer who puts a comment forcing someone to come meet with him every PR, often the comment shows he hasn't even read the description, let alone the code. It's just a way to prove he's the owner and gatekeeper and no one else can commit to that area without coming to him in person.

And installing the right target is typically as simple as:

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

Targeting browser APIs is a little more involved, generally requiring either:

cargo install cargo-web
cargo web build [...]

for stdweb, or for web-sys:

cargo install wasm-pack
wasm-pack build [...]
Yes: this is apparently supported by https://github.com/github/SoftU2F — see https://github.com/github/SoftU2F/pull/29#issuecomment-32408... — but the documentation doesn't reflect that yet.
No it wouldn't, because nuclear isn't reactive enough to produce energy to match the extreme afternoon demand curves when solar capacity drops and demand jumps.

To account for those rapid jumps in non-renewable demand, you need an energy source that can ramp up really fast on short notice, like hydrocarbon fire.
It's probably confirmation bias. Luxury college student housing definitely exists, but it's for rich Americans and rich foreigners.

The maximum you can get in Federal undergraduate student loans as a dependent freshman is $5.5k / year. If you go over that you have to get private student loans, and most people don't get private loans. 92% of student loans are Federal and the remainder are private. https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/loans/student-loans/student-... Nobody is going to be able to afford a luxury apartment plus tuition on that a year.

No, social security is one of the most important things ever created.

Remember it's not so much the 'investing' that matters but the 'saving'.

FYI financial services do offer value, the issue is price. 'Big Funds' do the work of investigating and analysing companies etc. also, people have the opportunity to have more 'self managed' retirement as well.

The 'big issue' with social security is that it's not properly funded: retirees today are taking money from younger people putting money in, thereby creating a Ponzi-scheme like situation whereby if the population ever shrinks, there's huge unfunded liabilities.

Some balancing of that generational issue, some balancing of personal direction would be ideal.

The other big issue with retirement is mortgages and housing - people with greater access to financial leverage do much better over time. As long as housing holds out, the bigger mortgage you can take, probably the better you'll be.

The 'housing boom' is really just the middle class leveraging over the working class, or people with 'very stable employment' leveraging over those with more volatile employment.
Getting 610 Mibps of data connectivity to/from a Fighter Jet is likely game changing.

Starlink connectivity is from the jet to a satellite back to a ground station, making jamming the signal much more difficult from Jet to ground. I assume the starlink satellites can bounce the signal from one another as well.
How do I make it work? I have the extension and I went to rofocus.com but no sounds ...
First, I’m glad that has been your experience. It hasn’t been mine, including friends who have been pressured into condomless sex. Being told you’re ignorant is a common tactic amongst the stories I’ve heard and texts I’ve been shown.

I’m not spreading fear. I’m looking at this history of viral epidemics and saying it’s foolish to think that now that we have PReP there’s no other way to die from sex. Does PReP stop Ebola? Or even bacterial infections that are antibiotic-resistent?

HIV in humans is only decades old. That’s nothing in the timeline of humanity. At some point in the future another terrible STD will come along. The history of viral mutations guarantees it. And PReP won’t be able to stop it, condoms might, but those on PReP will be vulnerable.

Again, is PReP making a big dent in the spread of HIV? Yes. Is it allowing some to feel ok about not using a condom where as they would have before? Absolutely. It’s “net positive” (no pun intended) for now... until the next scarier virus comes along...
Also you might be interested in looking at FluentMigrator for database migrations. It's a tad more work but they have a really well thought out fluent interface for writing migrations. I find it much nicer to work with than ef migrations
Ontario power is mostly from renewable sources already, but yes it is highly mismanaged.

You can see the hourly Ontario energy use by source here:

http://www.ieso.ca/power-data

One of the worst inefficiencies of the Ontario grid is that we run an abundance of energy during parts of the day, during which we dump electricity to the US at extremely cheap rates. If that electricity were offered at the same rate to Ontario residents (who are paying for it!) you would see residents retrofit homes with dual-fire gas/electric heating and other utilities. Or if we had a means to store that electricity it would cover the highest-use parts of the day (approximately 3 hours later) where we still fire natural gas to cover demand.
That's not an equal comparison unless you know of some internal leaked Tesla documents that show criminal negligence like in the RoundUp cases. Considering that every self-driving feature of a Tesla requires you to affirm that you accept responsibility for the car's actions, there would need to be intent shown on Tesla's part in order for something like that to be paid out. Even in the RoundUp cases, Monsanto is appealing.
Or more attention must be paid to engineering landing gear and structures to handle high landing weights. One must approach the problem with an eye to identifying solutions or we'll never get anywhere.
If you can’t do it ethically, why on earth are you trying to replace the incumbent at all? Some personal power trip?
To me, this seems like a very balanced approach. Interested in the HN take, what level of targeting would be appropriate to allow? I can think of arguments both for and against even relatively broad targeting based on location and demographics.
I was really into the demoscene back in the early/mid 90's. These days it's fun to find out about some old demoscene people who went on to interesting things. Mostly I hear about people getting into the game industry. Some of my favorites of note: Some of the Future Crew guys went on to make Remedy Entertainment (and made Max Payne and Alex Wake games, among others) and Rovio (makers of Angry Birds) was started by some TPOLM people.
hmm, why is that a bad thing, if your entire thread is synchronous shouldn't it technically be blocking? Or is OS thread the main thread?
Best guess: They were only relevant for like 4 years. As soon as Conroe Xeons hit the scene it was game over.
As far as I can tell, the second video I linked to (where he asks for water during a speech) happened before the first one (where a reporter asks him about the water he drank). The first one is a reporter following up to check that the water actually was from Flint (and he says it is, but it's filtered) -- and was probably a genuine question from a reporter after his speech (it's probably one of the first questions I'd ask).

The thing I'm referring to as being clearly staged is when he asks in the middle of a speech (where he was talking about things that need to be done in Flint) for some water, takes a tiny sip (he must've been really thirsty!) and continues. If you don't see that as being staged, I really don't know what I could possibly say to convince you otherwise. People from the crowd were shouting "don't drink" and he counters with "I know I'm going to be okay, because I've already had some Flint water."

And you're right that he mentions it's filtered (after being asked that in a follow-up and not when he first did the stunt, but whatever) -- but just because he's not outright lying about the situation doesn't make it the earlier stunt any less staged. There has been very little further outcry about Flint in the past 6 years, because most people you talk to will say "Oh, wasn't that thing in Flint solved years ago? Obama drank the water when he was there!
Author makes a good point, but wouldn't the cost of decisions map to the options analogy as the cost of the option, which has to be paid no matter if you exercise or not?

I'm no financial wonk but in his example if the $1 stock has a $.1 option and holding the stock has an up/flat/down outcome of +$1/0/-$1 the option scenario goes from +$1/0/0 to +$.9/-$.1/-$.1. If the outcomes are evenly distributed expected value for holding is 0 and for the option goes from $.33 to $.23. It's still positive if the option is cheap enough. Back to the project planning metaphor maybe a road map has a single option cost but weekly cycles are a series of options that eat away at your expected outcome.
except that you're nowhere near your car
Nuclear takes time but I don't think the solution is going to come through only one approach. It seems like we'll need a mix of technologies to actually solve this problem. Nuclear provides clean base load in many places currently (e.g. more than 60% of the base power in Ontario)
Sounds great until you read the caveats, I think the general agreement is that choosing the best of the dirtiest sources is going to be the important decision facing my kids' generation.
Yes that's better
>You don't just cut down a tree, rip it into planks, and use them. Their dimensions, and physical properties like hardness and density, change as they dry.

Not to mention that you get very different results depending on how you saw the tree into planks. Flat, quarter, rift sawn wood have all kinds of pros and cons. You will get more wood from flat sawn, so it will be cheaper, but it will be more likely to warp.
Not an assumption... literally that (large web/node projects) and database work (crunching long data files) are the only two places I really notice the difference. The project in particular, I had to build on an old office machine (hdd) was over 3 minutes... at home before on ssd was around 30 seconds, and under 5 seconds on the nvme.
I wish small scale solar was falling as fast, especially very small scale. It would be nice to be able to purchase a blanket-sized solar panel for twenty bucks.
The Greek and Roman philosophers had these concerns solved ages ago with the Stoics and others. Happiness comes from within, whatever situation we might find ourselves in.
I can see that, much like in the USA there were a ton of companies trying to profit off of the school shootings offering things like clear backpacks for every student, metal detectors at every entrance, video surveillance etc.

I'm not saying that some of these companies don't want to help prevent another tragedy or mitigate them, however there are a ton of companies trying to make a quick buck off of people emotional and suffering from a tragedy.

Some form of detection/protection is nice, but I feel that we shouldn't have to button down every school and treat it like Ft. Knox either. Schools can hardly afford after school programs, much less hi-tech security systems/operators.

> You're just being exposed to how other people in less privileged positions have to think and act, and that's uncomfortable.

No, it has nothing to do with that. As an unprivileged person, CoCs were harder for me to follow because I grew up using much harsher language and being more direct.

CoCs mainly seem to be about privileged people affirming to each other how “woke” they are.
Creditors are onto this however, and in many cases they will make you sign a personal guarantee.

Actually.... Defending ones' house from government tyranny is one of the most valid reasons for Second Amendment.
Exactly. I have written my senator and congressmen about this and similar issues, and I always get very canned answers. Something like "we need to support our military / law enforcement's ability to keep us safe" blah blah blah. I realize it's a highly technical (relatively speaking) and very specific issue, but I am trying to stay positive that people will begin paying attention over time. I can't help but think if people really understood what data is collected and how that data can be used, this would be a totally different story. But as usual, this will fly just under the radar, get reauthorized, and completely forgotten about by 99% of the population.
You said that you always receive DOA parts. This shouldn't be affected by experience, unless you are damaging them.
Go creates the illusion of preemptive multithreading by having implicit safe-points for cooperative multithreading. Each IO operation is such a safe-point. If you write an infinite loop like `for {}` where there are no IO operations in loop body, it will block indefinitely. This will prevent the underlying OS thread from being available to other goroutines. The same thing can happen even if you do have IO operations in there, but the work being performed is dominated by CPU time instead of IO.
Conversely, I think that heavy censorship of opposing ideas shows a lack of confidence in one's own opinion. If we can't debate effectively the merits of climate action in a community designed for it, then we need to work on our messaging
There was also a very visible effect of what is assumed to be deals with large retail chains, where even if the OEMs offered AMD products the retailers wouldn't carry them.
I find this really interesting. I'm wondering if this is a cultural thing.

I didn't interpret the list as being a set of instructions at all. More of an expression of an opinion on what people should do. You read it, learn, incorporate it into your working life.

It happens to be that I pretty much agree with it all, but if I didn't, I wouldn't find myself consulting the list to decide whether I should or shouldn't say something.

If someone 'called me out' on a 'violation' of this document, I'm not sure how I'd respond. Probably with laughter? I honestly don't know, perhaps I'm just in a bubble.

For long-haul, it's cruise. And the energy required can thus be improved directly proportional to lift to drag ratio.

I really don't think you should call me a neoliberal (and I am not sure what it means, but I am definitely not a part of the group that is commonly described as that). I am not sure what lack of respect are you seeing there, I have massive respect for the people doing the jobs I wouldn't mentally be able to do. That does not mean we should not innovate just because (still haven't heard a single reason other than "these are prestigious jobs" which is not really a reason), especially in a case where the technology is rather simple and available for several decades, well proven. A computer (as in human profession) used to be a prestigious job as well; so was a writer.
So my only option is to begin the conversation with a Cease and Desist letter from Esq. LLP?
