I think referencing the leaders of the psychedelic movement would be a pretty biased argument for psychedelic use. Survivorship bias would also be a factor.

I want to echo the sentiment of the OP - I have yet to meet someone who does not go down one of the two paths described. Either they continue to do various psychedelic substances over the years claiming to have solved all their problems while a cursory examination shows their lives continue to be a mess.... or they stop looking at it as a panacea and start making meaningful changes in their lives that actually have a long-term positive impact (this is my own experience).

I don't have a problem with using psychedelics IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY for short term relief from symptoms of a greater issue that actually requires concrete, meaningful action to address. Maybe the relief, from depression for example, is enough to find the motivation to take those actions. HOWEVER - most people tend to be very black and white in their thinking and don't see it as treating a symptom - they see it as a solution to all their problems. You see it over and over again with various approaches - fasting, keto and psychedelics being the current fads.

There is no panacea for living a healthy, fulfilling life. It takes conscious, persistent shifts on many different levels. There is no cure-all. There never has been, and never will be.

The second isn't better by default - no matter what, you're trusting some organization/entity somewhere in the chain.

Furthermore, your comment just eschews what Signal has said elsewhere - if you have a social app, you need a social graph to operate. They have to piggyback somewhere or else store a bunch of data themselves, and it's clear that they take their time to make sure they're doing something as best as possible before committing to it.

It's also not developers proliferating the approach. This is what the market developed into, and if you want your product/service/whatever to be successful, you have to win with that constraint. What you're describing is idealist, but not realistic at time of writing this. Hopefully it changes, but place the blame where it's appropriate.

1. Apple will become more and more consumer focused leaving a void for the niche market of power users (programmers, designers).

2. Microsoft will open source Windows (indirectly by using a linux kernel) and throw in the towel on the OS game.

3. "Offline" becomes hip.

4. New person-addressable federated message transport protocol gains popularity, probably on the back of SMTP/email systems. Someone will try to call it "server-less" apps.

5. Common federated identity and login system protocols gain popularity, probably also on the back of SMTP/email systems.

6. Privacy is still an issue, an attempt at making data-as-an-executable to trace its use is fraught with issues but gets steam in the healthcare market.

7. More and more JS will become a standard, until most programming languages outside of C/C++/golang/rust just use JS runtimes and compile to (dynamically or statically) WASM.

8. Someone remakes Game of Thrones ending entirely using deep fakes.

9. 3D printing at a nano scale "is just around the corner" but being used in select factories.

10. AI/ML and driving cars aren't a thing, but not because it's an impossible problem, but because it's not as valuable as people thought it was.

11. Drones will become highly regulated, require licenses to fly or must be purchased with a permit in most countries. Most likely due to a string of terrorist incidents. Large drones won't be used for deliveries or any other non-sense as they're simply way too loud.

12. More and more companies will attempt to operate in "growth" stages by buying back stock and artificially inflating their prices until an unfortunate pair of events causes a few mega-companies to collapse due to it. Afterwards debt in corporation as a factor becomes a key indicator for stock prices and a 3 to 4 year recession in most economies.

First of all, there is a wide delta of difference between taking these substances recreationally and in a clinical setting. Any clinician involved with these trials is not going to equivocate their use in treating depression with your weekend in the woods with your friends.

Second if we are talking recreationally I have met many, many people on a third path there: the understanding that psychedelics offer a beautiful alternate window with which to perceive things and they can tend to have a heightened awareness and appreciation while otherwise being just like many in that they answer slack messages or [insert mundane work task here].

Thirdly the mind in question is more important than psychedelics or slack messages. One can view either as a hellish prison or a wonderful gift, and in either case this perspective is likely to prove itself out. There is no magic cure to gift inner peace, nor is inner peace at all waking hours a realistic or worthwhile goal for anyone. This does not make psychedelics "bullshit," it means you need more to cultivate a rich inner life than a few altered state experiences. This should not be surprising (though to be sure it is quite often).

Fourthly, when you say:

> Most people realize that their psychonautic journey is at best leading them in circles, and at worst is causing their life to spiral down the drain. So they give it up, get a job without 9pm slack messages (or find a better way to adjust to stress), marry someone who isn't constantly on the verge of cheating, start doing regular exercise, and generally find a way to settle into a reasonably balanced life.

Have you asked these people how they came to their better life there, their job without a 9pm slack message, their healthy marriage, healthy lifestyle, etc? Many would likely attribute at least part of this found balance to their experience with psychedelics. Many people in these trials, a majority in fact, count these experiences among their top 5 most profound life experiences. That's astounding, and anecdotally I've met many more who fit that bill, and of course there are other famous cases who parrot this like Steve Jobs. Psychedelics are not an answer, but they often do illuminate where paths were previously hidden.

I believe your cynicism has sliced off only a portion of the truth here and tilted focus in the wrong directions.

Aeron[1] is something I have been look at as well.

I like that it is adaptable to run without an external broker (using embedded media driver option), yet can add that for scalability/redundancy.

> Doesn’t a single centralized monopoly providing everyone’s healthcare seem like a bad idea? Why is it so bad in business and so good for health?

Because health shouldn't be run like a business, just like the fire department shouldn't be run like a business. The only metrics that should matter are patient outcomes and cost.

> it's clear that they take their time to make sure they're doing something as best as possible before committing to it.

If you mean developers of such tools, they are surely not doing it "as best as possible", because they by design chose the worse approach. Decentralized approach is more difficult, but it is as best as possible.

> This is what the market developed into

Yeah, right, and developers just follow the "invisible hand of the market". It's not an excuse in the slightest, for fooling their users into trading off their privacy for convenience. Those who create such tools bear responsibility for what they created and for proliferation of such approach.

There's a bit of a push to get everything that isn't rendering out of the render thread, and if you're going to do a bunch of logic in a web worker I guess it isn't a big jump to do it in Go/Rust/whatever.

I agree with your intuition, though -- I don't think it'll become too widespread. Projects will start in all-js in the front-end, and no language will provide sufficient benefit to motivate rewriting half of the client.

I'm less sure about back-end development trends but I think "less standardised than the front-end" is a gimme. Maybe Node/Express or similar will pick up, but I feel like they've been waning the last few years. Go servers seem trendier.
And lo the Executive SVP position shall be created!
Well, let's place my predictions here for a first time...

1 - About Global Warming, Solar capacity will increase until our nominal production capacity is larger than our consumption. Yet, a lot of it is wasted, so we are still dependent on fossil fuels.

2 - Self driving + remote controlled freight becomes a reality. It doesn't go everywhere, it doesn't run all the time, but it is still the first important labor class to be quickly replaced by machines... causing...

3 - Civil turmoil all over the world. Rich countries governments have a bad financial situation, while poor countries have grave social problems. One or two rich governments may fail, but I wouldn't bet on it; either way, most will make through.

4 - Moore's law is dead, so we get more electronic diversity. We'll end the decade with way more CPU architectures than we started it, we'll have CPUs designed for MIMD and MISD parallelism, search (map and reduce) activities, communication tasks, and all kinds of things.

5 - VR won't be widespread, AR will have a few niche widespread uses.

6 - China won't take over the world. There is a small chance of them breaking out at this decade, but the most likely option is that they are a bit richer than now, with a heated internal climate, but still holding toguether.

7 - The poor vs. rich countries disparity does not close down. Instead, it increases a bit more. That is despite widespread structural reforms on the poor countries that should make them richer - it's just that a decade is not enough.

8 - Information security (including privacy enforced at the endpoints) becomes a wanted feature of many niche applications. Mainstream ones adapt because it is so widespread.

9 - Private space exploration will go beyond the inflection point of its logistic curve. Thus exponential growth will give way to sublinear one.

10 - Oh, and editing, we'll see the first trial of a rejuvenation treatment. It will fail.

Also, look how much things changed between 2000 and 2010 compared to 2010 to 2020.

Facebook didn’t exist.

Apple was “beleaguered”.

Google was in its infancy and Yahoo was still dominant (before the crash)

Microsoft was seen as unassailable.

Amazon was mostly just an interesting book seller. They were just getting into CDs and hadn’t even made the deal with Toys R Us yet.

Netflix was struggling against BlockBuster renting DVDs.

AOL was still dominant.

My personal e-mail is in my profile if you'd like to ask any questions of the role. I am not part of the recruitment process in anyway btw.

I'm not a recruiter, I work in this team and I'm not in Management. You'd be my colleague. But if I do refer some one I get a referral bonus. ;-)

Several SaaS Platform DevOps Engineering roles are available.

Known specifics from an internal employee

* We're heavily invested AWS * PowerShell, Python, GoLang, Bash, .Net and/or C# experience are desired. NB: Doesn't need to be all of them, just show your experience in your language of choice and be absolutely willing to learn PowerShell and one or two of the others.

The following is from the listing on the TechOne site.

* Live every day on the cutting edge working with emerging cloud technologies at massive scale * Join the industry’s most experienced and award winning cloud team * We’re changing the world of enterprise software. With 14 products and a comprehensive range of preconfigured solutions, we’re making life simple by offering Enterprise Software as a Service * TNE:ASX is on the ASX 150
A few from me:

* The US economy will maintain the post war status quo. The decade will feature no more than two but probably one recession which will have been trigger by an "X bubble" where X is something everybody uses (e.g. housing or tech). Rich people and "corporations" will be blamed, but no meaningful economic reforms will be passed. UBI will remain a fringe idea, and not be implemented federally or in any of the 50 states, though it will remain quite popular on the internet and in the Democratic primary. The labor force participation rate will drop as boomers retire, but not precipitously, and the rate of drop will slow by 2030. However, this drop will also lead to sustained growth in real (inflation adjusted) wages. Recessions will feature unemployment around 10% and non-recessions will feature unemployment around 5%. Many tech nerds will still regard 80% of jobs as useless and not producing any value.

* Britain will leave the EU fully, but not significantly decline as a worldwide power.

* Global warming will continue and remain basically unsolved.

* The CCP will continue to rule China as an authoritarian regime.

* Mexico will still be controlled by cartels

* India will still be struggling to describe itself as a "modern nation" but will periodically experience various scandals that seem decidedly third world.

* The middle east will still be a mess of competing militias funded by external empires (China, US, Russia), however the US will not formally invade any country with the intention of displacing their government (a la Iraq/Afghanistan).

* The last nuclear bomb used in a war will continue to be 1945/WW2.

* Another WACO or similar domestic terrorist - FBI/DEA/TLA standoff will occur and catch headlines, leading to the fringe group mostly being killed by the government, which will result in many angry words in the press but no meaningful changes.
I'll be optimistic for once tonight:

1. IoT-less offline appliances and electronics will become a serious feature that sells.

2. Self-repairability and modularity will become a serious feature people pay an apple premium for.
Recessions happen roughly once a decade so it’s a pretty safe prediction.
The three reddit founders didn't have special insight initially: for years, reddit had no subreddits. Those came later as a sort of necessity.
Here's some

1. Civil war in China

2. A new, significant non iOS/Android OS in mobile

3. Uber/Lyft will gradually shift to a unionized, national taxi company

4. Nothing significant will be done about Climate Change, and it won't matter. Some new environmental issue will be talked about instead.

5. A third political party will become significant in the US

6. There will be a major Christian missionary movement from the global south to Europe

7. VR gaming won't be much of a thing (ie like 3d movies)

8. Tesla will go out of business

9. Commonplace purchases will increasingly be made with point-of-sale loans and/or monthly leases. This will increase economic disparity (rich people will buy stuff / get better rates, poor people will rent things / can never get ahead)

10. Software development will still be a relatively specialized, niche field, with most people not knowing much about it. It won't be more "diverse"

11. Health insurance, higher education, housing and tax preparation will all still be crazy complex and expensive in the US

12. You'll finally be able to pump your own gas in New Jersey

13. Most churches will lose their tax exempt status

14. Texas will have more people than California

I thought it was considerably shorter - once every four or five years.
It's a terrible sign this can't stay on the front page of Hacker News. In theory this should be a smarter than average group of people.

Short term, your gas price went up 4% starting tomorrow and we are going to see how resilient our computing infrastructure is to an actual cyber offensive with destructive intent (rather than simple information theft or monetary theft/ransom). Medium term the odds of a war with substantial US casualties has increased substantially. Long term it's possible this will be seen as the tipping point for PRC as the dominant global power. This is a historic event and not in a good way.
There's definitely something to it existing at scale, in the real world, but I mostly agree.

I'd be interested to see what visuals can happen if the drones had additional props, like fog and directable light beams.
1. Sustainable electricity will dominate and the cost of electricity will shrink to near zero.

2. Manufacturing will catch a second wind. As software principles and cheap electricity take effect, the cost of experimentation will fall and we will become agile at creating physical products, from smart devices to city blocks.

3. Automobile traffic will get worse.

4. At the end of the decade, cities will begin a redesign phase with the intention of solving human problems. This will be hastened by major gains in manufacturing and improved understandings in biological science.

5. We will see the first generation of children growing up with primary personal computers that don’t rely on visual interfaces.

6. Depression and mental illness will become an increasingly major political focus.

7. Olfactory “AR” will offer a consumer product breakthrough involving near-direct emotional and memory manipulation.

8. China will begin mass application of genetic modification of humans.
Benefits are for the founders. For employees, its just another day. No need to go for job hunting immediately.
I wish we’d have a moment where the extremity forces people to snap back and cooperate with one another.
There is something philosophically unsettling about drone strikes. Violence, particularly mortal violence is naturally self-policing in nature. In order to kill something you must be there and risk injury yourself. Technology based distance attacks like drones and missiles remove this doubley: you not only de-risk your person, you are also more emotionally distanced from the attack as well.

It is not a trend that bodes well for humanity in the future.
