>People no longer use music to connect to each other. It's more about individual hedonic enjoyment.

I find this line of thought interesting because sharing music is a significant part of how I connect with my best friend. We each keep managing to find new music the other likes but hasn't heard yet.

I also use it to connect with my family. My dad, brother, and I have lots of overlap. My mom, not so much, but I still wrack my brain looking for something in my list that fits with her preferences so we can both enjoy the music.

Ultimately, rather than it being one circle of "good music", we each have our own circle of what we like and connecting then becomes about finding the overlap of our circles. Like figuring out food for a group of people, or basically any other situation that requires compromise.

Although yeah, music services now are tailoring to individuals, I think you could decompose an individual's preferences into weighted tags, essentially (likes distorted guitars, loves complex melodic lines, etc), and then to generate a playlist for a group of people you just find the most common overlaps of their tags and generate a playlist from that. Maybe my mom also likes complex melodies, but prefers pianos. So we arrive at a compromise on jazz piano.

Pandora is ideally positioned for this with their Music Genome Project, but in my view they've largely squandered the opportunity and ceded their advantage to Spotify.
Because our "leaders" are not smart enough to understand this, they've just been told it's bad.

Because they want to pretend it's ok to have zero encryption and that's much harder if facebook and others say it's not.

Because passing an actual law to actually ban it would take effort and they're lazy

Because there is a non-zero chance they can't really ban it, at least not without banning a lot of other things like e-commerce and online banking, so a gentlemans' agreement to keep 95% vulnerable is much more manageable.

Because in at least some of the jurisdictions it might not be legal ("constitutional" in the US, "in accordance with the European convention on human rights" in the UK etc) to force these things by law.

We have a new PM for the runner and this is on his agenda to research and improve. The reality is that the job execution environment is complex - each job does just have a simple script section which is just shell commands, but there is a lot of context that impacts behavior (to which environment are you deploying, what environment variables are set specific to that environment, is it a protected environment with variables that are shareable to any random user, are artifacts being passed, and so on.) Making iterating on pipelines easier is definitely on our agenda, and adding your thoughts to issues like https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner /issues/2226 or making new ones for your specific use case will help. We are also working on other oblique solutions to make pipelines easier to iterate on like https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/39527, which help solve the problem in a different way where you don't need to try to replicate the state of the world on your local environment but can still find and fix problems quickly.

EDIT: I should also mention, https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2072 is a big priority for us where we want to reduce the time to first green pipeline (not just for new users, but for new projects too). Feedback is welcome there as well.

Yeah, I noticed that most Twitter trolls are still bots. Their quest to ban automated accounts didn't really work out until now.

For example when you watch tweets by Greta Thunberg most climate denial responses and hateful comments are automated.

Even when I told legit users not to feed those trolls they would respond by context-free climate change denial claims.

For me science is not about believing anything. You can have a hypothesis, you can do the work to prove or invalidate it and you may later have to conclude you've made false conclusions.

The above have all been build replicated published etc. Way to many links in my comment (I'm not sorry) but there are many more. People go out of their way trying not to notice these efforts foaming from the corners of their mouth from rage.

> I'm not aware of any law it would have been violating if was encrypted in the US.

The laws as they were had exactly that effect: a lot of companies didn’t intend to have products sold solely in the US. And it was problematic enough that most companies avoided making a US-only version: even carrying such a product on a floppy disk while travelling outside of US could get you in trouble, see this article from 1995:

“Learning to code is 30% of the job”
OCaml somewhat tries to be familiar for OOPs, but it _is_ first and foremost a functional language.

Personally, I am learning it now, and I think rather than it being a stepping stone between OOP and FP, it might as well be its own separate and hybrid paragdim; I find purer FP languages like Haskell much more intuitive than the mix of modules, objects, types and classes of OCaml.

Though do not get me wrong, OCaml is an amazing language. It just stands rather by itself.

AFAICS D screwed up with its "optional" but really not optional if you want to use the standard library garbage collection. Rust contains no such mistakes, and seems to contain fewers mistakes than C++. Any experienced C++ programmer should know that C++ contains plenty of mistakes. Exceptions are very awkward, the string class is useless, hash maps are much slower than they could be (the std API enforces that), modules should have appeared 20 years ago, non-const references as stealth pointers are bad for readability, [...]
Ah, that is a very cool idea. Yeah, I imagine that there is a lot of great advice to come from such a resource.

One thing I wanted to do but never got around to, was research the butterfly-friendly native species of California, and then seed-bomb the living crap out of all the sterile gardens in the Hollywood Hills .. definitely a guerrilla action, but if successful one of immense value to say nothing of the beauty of it. Never got around to it though, and the country I currently live in is already quite a friend eco-sphere for native butterfly and insect species i.e. they kicked out Monsanto and already promote the propagation of native weeds and other non-agri species which the butterflies love..
Like it or not,outside of tech circles the majority of people think lawful interception should be in place. E2E is fairly new so I doubt it would remain legal for a commercial service to offer it.

I personally am a fanboy for E2EE. But in democratic countries the majority rule so what could be done aside from educating the majority?

The message from the tech industry needs to be very simple and digestable. No going on and on about how you can't backdoor E2EE because that's bad design or implications of letting them have backdoor access,etc....
If it was up to me the counterpoint message would be

"Yes, Lawful intercept should be a thing since the people want it but there have been severe violations both by governments and criminals alike where they used existing weakness that allowed lawful intercept for unlawful dragnet surveillance with absolutely no repercussions. Therefore, even if a lawful intercept backdoor was in place, history has shown it will be used for unlawful ends and as such E2EE is merely preventing illegal interception. If the people's will is truly to allow access to their communication then individuals should be forced to install software on endpoints that facilitate interception,much like e911 related software is by law mandated to be installed in a way that is very hard to remove."

That said, I hope FB burns!!! (the company,not their people).
Sorry, still an insult.

Sorry I believe it is not because I did say "when it comes to software". I freely admit to being an imbecile in Quantum Chromodynamics. Same goes with my users.

That's just life and I do not see too many Leonardo Da Vincis walking around.

Absolutely, either he wasn’t given LSD or the dude was on a tremendous amount of benzos. I read elsewhere that the dose was 1200 mcg, which is a very strong dose. Most recreational tabs are 75-250 mcg

Maharajji's (Neem Karoli Baba) only possession was a blanket and he was living in a remote village in North India in the 60's. There is little chance that he had access to the drugs you mentioned.

And the LSD that was carried by Ram Dass was made by Sandoz, arguably the purest LSD that you could ever get.

May be reading Ram Dass' account of the event in _Be Here Now_ will provide some much needed context.

This is absolutely the case. You're going to have to do a hell of a lot of work to begin to explain to most normal people why end-to-end encryption is even possible, let alone why you may think the Government should not have a right to decrypt. It's going to seem completely reasonable to almost everyone except your friends.

An anecdote being published in a book doesn’t make it true.
Any heuristic will have varying effects with respect to different groups of individuals, regardless of what property individuals are being grouped by.

It's absolutely irrelevant whether the heuristic is unfair to individuals of a particular race, or unfair to individuals of a particular nose length. Prioritizing the former over the latter is a totally arbitrary value system that deprioritizes the most important metric for maximizing fairness, which is the overall accuracy rate.

Ultimately any inaccuracy of the heuristic is an instance of the heuristic treating someone unfairly. The objective should be to minimize the inaccuracy rate overall, not the inaccuracy rate in relation to politically prioritized groupings like race.
Strokes are _very_ common. It‘s the third most common cause for death (or something in that ballpark). A lot of the leading figures in psychedelics lived long lives. Incidentally, Alexander Shulgin also died at 88. Albert Hoffman lived to 104.
I'd say: have fun! With Angeldust being a shared, persistent, open online world it's a pretty cool place to make friends and work on building projects together. You can leave a permanent mark in a place where you can be someone else compared to real life.

But I always advise enthusiastic players to keep an eye out on real life. Mind your health and your relationships. Real life, family, friends—they all come first. Of course you can be friends in-game and even build meaningful relationships there, but that's no substitute for living a well-balanced "real" life.

I've been an avid gamer in the past, and right now I'm a very avid developer. I try to balance that in real life by playing sports and exercising three or four times per week. Going out on walks, to the movies, meeting up with friends. "Balance in all things" as a character from Baldur's Gate would say.
When you live in a friendly neighborhood, it doesn't have to be an awkward meeting. Our neighborhood is very often getting together casually for different things. Whenever a new neighbor moves in, one of us always goes and knocks on their door and says hello, gives them contact info, and mentions the next time we're getting together. If they show up or contact us, they're interested in being social. If they don't, they're welcome to their space. By the time holidays come around, we all know who might like to be together and who might not. No awkwardness either way.
Why not? After reading your post (I'm not taking a stance either, to be clear), I got curious and queried a few registrars for domains including the terms "mormon", "lds", "latterdaysaints", and a couple others and was shocked [/sarcasm] to find very few sane or meaningful domains available. While I agree in principle that a resource's name or title can reveal something about its creator(s) and potentially its content, the name itself means far less than the quality of the source(s) of the information it provides.
Very very few people are sociopaths (~2%), but these strong people mirror and magnify what they've been exposed to at home or in peer groups. Often the problem is really with some parents and sometimes a particular teacher, misbehaving and not being corrected. When do adults correct eachother? Exactly! And of course the "glad that's not my child being treated that way..."

And why not? The culture is about microaggression. Eventually, your peers become competition. A competition to break down the environment as hard and fast as time permits, and then wonder why nothing changes..

If this reflects company culture, the kids will need to learn to survive, either by skipping school legally, or learning to survive and maybe become a bit psychopathic themselves. Just to be a little ahead of the system. Those skipping school are those who could turn the situation around, if not orchastrized by the community, the teachers and closest family. It is sort of a culture strangling itself.

You get what you deserve in the end. So look people in the eye and get to know them, even if they're a bit strange looking, they're much more fun to be with in the longer run. That other reward will still be dangling there, teasingly.

I appreciate the efforts put in HN and the people who make this a platform for eachother. Such platforms people can stand on and make a difference.
It is possible to be true and unprovable. Truth does not imply provability (the reverse does hold).

It's very clear you have not taken it before, and seem to be (possibly willfully) ignorant about alcohol.

LSD is not a dissociative like GHB or PCP.

Almost everyone on a full dose will be completely lucid with full mental clarity. Of course there are outliers and mega doses, but those are not the norm. I would argue a common side effect is INCREASED awareness, not loss of control.

Alcohol on the other hand...
Sleep, exercise, and proper nutrition won't solve long term sources of stress or depression stemming from environmental settings. Yes they are excellent habits to have, but I'd wager they only make the symptoms of the aforementioned issues slightly easier to deal with.

I'd argue you probably need to have more widescale societal and cultural reforms to get rid of the sources of most of those problems. Substantially better healthcare and higher education to reduce loan burdens, shorter working hours and commutes to have more time to spend with family and friends, etx.
