Cocaine comes from coca leaves. If you have ever had a Coca Cola, you have tasted extract from the coca leaf, though with the cocaine (hallucinogen) removed.

Opium is found in poppy seeds which are used to top bread. Some US military members will refrain from eating bread with poppy seeds because it can cause them to fail random drug tests required by military service. This can potentially get you booted with a dishonorable discharge.
First of all, whether "getting high", as you put it, is or is not the best "available" therapy for depression is debatable, and not known at this time. Ketamine has definitely shown to be much more effective against certain kinds of depression than therapy, and much quicker acting, and I wouldn't doubt that psilocybin might also be.

But more to the point, you were asserting that the effects of the drugs were secondary to the therapy associated with them, to which I strongly disagree with. The action of the drug itself is main driver of its therapeutic potential, specifically that of "breaking" normal heuristic patterns of activity, suppressing others, and allowing more inter-region connections and plasticity to flourish where non existed before. Most people can't do that very easily, if at all , with just therapy, meditation, diet, and exercise or whatever. However, I -CAN- do that, quite easily and without effort, without the guidance of a therapist or anything else, by simply eating some mushrooms and letting them do their thing.

Could someone rent a trailerable generator bring a large CNG or diesel tank, and set up a temporary charging station on busy days like Thanksgiving and Labor day?

Quick googling found e.g. a CAT generator[1] that has output sufficient for charging 20 cars (150kW per 2 cars in a Tesla supercharger station).

Sure it's not green, but if it's one stop once or twice a year, surely that's better than driving a gas car year round?

What is this? Because if it has anything to do with utilizing software installed at the factory in order to control the fleet of cars as some sort of distributed self metering battery grid to the financial benefit of the EV manufacturer instead of the end customer, I'm calling B.S.

It'd be like Smart TV's, but worse.
My guess would be because asset management is pretty static from an IT managers point of view. Inventory management on the other hand is a dynamic world all it's own. You don't just generate inventory out of thin air and you don't simply lock it in a closet forever. You also don't procure inventory without clear purpose. That is what ERP and MRP systems are for. They are infinitely more complicated, more expensive, and harder to maintain.

This tool being so simple it seems to be a perfect fit for IT departments to visualize their equipment. Kinda looks like this company made a small business tool for managing arbitrary static inventory and are now trying to find the perfect market fit for their product. It is too simple for large enterprise to use it to manage product lines/BOM's/material requirements all by itself. IT equipment, on the other hand, is perfect. You set it up on a desk or issue it to a specific purson/purpose, and forget about it until it stops working.

Still a very interesting idea. I'd be interested if they had an on-prem edition.
I've thought about this on and off for a long time. Urbit, Solid, Mastodon (anything ActivityPub), SecureScuttleButt, Matrix servers, etc.

The biggest problem as I see it is cost. While I might want to have this for $60/year (or own my own hardware for a little more), the vast majority of people (whose adoption you need), don't want to pay for this.

There are countless other UX and technical challenges, all interesting and largely tractable.

But I'm not sure how to deal with the cost problem. It underlies the failure of essentially all anti-centralization efforts.

Founded in 2003, BCD is a full service electronics ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) providing firmware development, hardware design, PCBA, and precision cable assembly to discerning firms. We have offices in San Francisco, Hong Kong and Shenzhen. We specialize in IoT devices and have come to be known as THE IoT ODM.

We're looking for a Senior Firmware Developer, developing firmware for our customer's IoT devices, and extend our Production Line Tool (PLT) in-circuit program and test offering.

MUST HAVES:
- Familiar with GitHub / Pull Requests / Branching & Merging
- Linux-based development (Docker, Makefile / CMake)
- Bare metal embedded C/C++
- Embedded Linux development (kernel drivers)

NICE TO HAVE:
- Programming languages: Golang, Rust
- RTOS: Zephyr, MyNewt
- Technology: BLE, iOS app development, Signal Processing, Machine Learning

PERKS:
OSS participation: Zephyr, Elixir Nerves
Professional development: courses, training
To me, JCR and Sling are superior to anything I've ever used in regard to content management. In my opinion, having such a powerful concept supports far more use cases than just serving content pages. Its a bit sad, that there are not more OSS projects on top of Sling or projects that try to implement similar concepts for different platforms (than Java).

Why do you bring up ability to put power into the grid? In case of supercharging along the route it would be never the case.

Last time I fiddled with something Go based was wit cfssl (cloudflare's excellent PKI thingie), and that uses something else. I don't remember what, it's in the GitHub Action YML file now. (Which alas turned out to be a big hot air pipeline :// )

I plan on learning a bit more about Go, but last time with the 2.0 proposal and the go mod/dep thing it seemed like there will be some streamlining, so I decided to postpone the immersion into the Go-cean.

In JavaScript, you could use a library like decimal.js. For simple situations, could you not just convert the final result to a precision of 15 or less?

> 0.1 + 0.2;
< 0.30000000000000004

> (0.1 + 0.2).toPrecision(15);
< "0.300000000000000"

From Wikipedia: "If a decimal string with at most 15 significant digits is converted to IEEE 754 double-precision representation, and then converted back to a decimal string with the same number of digits, the final result should match the original string." --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-poin...

It isn't a petty personal attack. You believe it is petty but I explained my reasons. Ignoramous isn't a "name", it is a noun describing someone with the attributes that Cowen has (I specifically say that, as he is doing throughout the interview, he pontificates endlessly on subjects in which he has no expertise).

Just to be clear, whether he has those attributes or not, people like that exist. It isn't unacceptable to say something negative...ironically, as you yourself show by calling my comment "petty". One rule for us, amirite comrade?

> If steam would be forced to build new products rather than sitting on their platform we'd probably have had Half Life 3 a bunch of years ago.

Steam is a terrible example for this.
First of all, Steam isn't a company, it's a product. Valve is the company. Second of all, unlike the App Store or other similar infrastructure, it's not like you're locked into Steam, so they're not really rent-seeking. Steam has had plenty of competitors over the years(Direct2Drive, Games for Windows Live, that garbage GameStop store), they all sucked, and as far as I know there's nothing stopping me from publishing on multiple stores & ignoring Steam. Third, Valve hasn't exactly been doing nothing - they've done more than any other company to the gaming experience under Linux & have pioneered VR. Odds are good they wouldn't have taken those risks had it not been subsidized with comfortable margins they got from Steam.

If you had cited, say, the App Store, or something that has actual monopoly power in terms of infrastructure (like our good friends at Comcast) it would have been a much stronger argument.

I mean, awesome for whom? It might be awesome for end users as you can type in or copy/paste things without caring which language you're using. But for programmers, Unicode is a bloated monstrosity and a source of endless nightmare. Eventually, it's not going to be awesome for end users either because it will be plagued by a lot of (subtle) inconsistencies. Unicode looks a lot like a leaky abstraction to me (because of poor foresight), and it's getting worse each year.

I think Kettleman already has 10+ V3 Superchargers. I suppose that explains why there can be 50+ cars in line without getting the hours-long wait times of SLO.

To be fair, hours-long wait times can happen on normal weekdays too (SJC for instance) when there are a bunch of locals using them.

Surprisingly (not really), the same issues that apply to food, gas, and rest stops on holidays also apply to Superchargers.

Think you'd want to compare with a columnar database since this is an analytic workload, not a transactional one.

And a 4 node Spark cluster with Parquet or Arrow files and a Scala job will compare favorably to this because it's also a lazy evaluator and the benchmark problems here are embarrassingly parallel.

PS this is a very cool project!
> I think platform companies, like Apple and Qt, should not be able to impose such a high percentage as gatekeepers.

No you're still quite wrong. QWidgets-based UIs still consist of a DOM driven by a state machine that handles events. UI files have a 1:1 correspondence with components and state machines still control changes to the widget/DOM tree.
I think you misread: In the beginning, we’ll only allow companies to add paid extensions. There’s still some work to be done when it comes to automation of the publishing process and the financial process. Our goal is to make the necessary enhancements by the end of next year so that we can start onboarding paid content also from individuals. We will inform you about this later.

The next paragraph has We, of course, promote the individual developers and companies to use standard “copy-lefts” ranging from GPL to MIT especially for free extensions.

TLDR: For now, individuals can _only_ publish free extensions. Companies can publish either free or commercial extensions.
SDCs don’t have to work everywhere to be useful and/or revolutionary. Manhattan currently has many other obstacles, like weather, poor signage, and reckless drivers.

I am sure that Cowen prepares for those interviews. But he doesn't have knowledge "on almost literally" (this isn't a phrase that makes sense btw) everything.

I am not going to do a line-by-line but several things he says in the interview are just inaccurate. That is fine, I am specifically saying that no-one knows everything. The issue is that he goes on to make other points based on stuff he doesn't understand.

As I pointed out too, his career is somewhat chequered. And he has a history of writing grand papers on subjects which he knows nothing about.

Salt differs from other spices in a couple obvious ways:

1. It is a rock, not a biological product.

2. It is not used primarily for flavoring (though salt in specific has a strong flavor) -- it is a vital nutrient in its own right.

With the exception of the flavoring, it has those things in common with iron, and iron and salt are the two commodities which were always widely traded, even in areas which engaged in almost no nonlocal trade.

This specific issue nearly drove me insane trying to debug a SQL -> C++/Scala/OCaml transpiler years ago. We were using the TPC-H benchmark as part of our test suite, and (unbeknownst to me), the validation parameters for one of the queries (Q6) triggered this behavior (0.6+0.1 != 0.7), but only in the C/Scala targets. OCaml (around which we had built most of our debugging infrastructure) handled the math correctly...

Fun times.

Unicode is pretty amazing.

People REALLY like to complain about unicode, but where it's complicated, it's because the _problem space_ is complicated. Which it is. People are actually complaining that they wish handling global text wasn't so complicated, like, that humans had been a lot simpler and more limited with their inventions of alphabets and how they were used in typesetting and printing and what not, and that legacy digital text encodings historically had happened differently than they did, they're not actually complaining about unicode at all, which had to deal with the hand of cards it was dealt.

That unicode worked out as nice a solution as it is to storing global text is pretty amazing, there were some really smart and competent people working on it. When you dig into the details, you will be continually amazed how nice it is. And how well-documented.

One real testament to this is how _well adopted_ Unicode is. There is no actual guarantee that just because you make a standard anyone will use it. Nobody forced anyone to move from whatever they did to Unicode. (and in fact most eg internet standards don't force Unicode and are technically agnostic as to text encoding). That it has become so universal is because it was so well-designed, it solved real problems, with a feasible migration path for developers that had a cost justified by it's benefits. (When people complain about aspects of UTF-8 required by it's multi-facetted compatibility with ascii, they are missing that this is what led to unicode actually winning).

The OP, despite the title, doesn't actually serve as a great argument/explanation for how Unicode is awesome. But I'd read some of the Unicode "annex" docs -- they are also great docs!
As a HN user and commenter, I've found DDG just fine as a daily driver (switched nearly 2 years ago). I do occasionally have to fall back to Google, but most of my searches are served just fine by DDG.

Agreed that every user is different. I think the overall verdict is that DDG is certainly not as good at Google on an overall number-of-people-always-satisfied scale, but it does quite a good job for most people.
DDG is basically a reskin of Bing search.

DDG claims to aggregate Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex, but Yahoo switched to Bing a decade ago, and Yandex is only really relevant for Russian-localized websites.
