It's almost tragic that, perhaps due to the mushrooms, he was able to pinpoint the things that made him unhappy in his life but instead of acting on this newly gained knowledge, points the blame to the thing that made him able to see what the actual problems were.

I've taken multiple times as I find it fun to do but there was this one time I took it when I didn't feel good and just took it kinda out of boredom and it hit me in the face that I was making some major mistakes in my life and I needed to turn these around. I felt awful the entire trip but thanks to the newly gained insights I was able to actually act and change myself for the better. LSD never changed any of my problems but it made me aware what they actually were in a more concrete sense.

To put it bluntly I was unhappy without really knowing why, and after LSD I was unhappy and knowing why. I don't believe psychadelics will ever resolve your problems, you just gain new insights on your issues and it'll still be up to you - in a sober state I presume - to act on these insights.
thats a good band name
Yep. That's the solution I've been recommending over Celery for most people.

Half the time people seem to reach for Celery etc all they want to do is run a long task without blocking the response. That's a helleva lot of code to add to your project to just have that functionality.
There's an open source (GPL) client app (last updated last week) on F-Droid called Dib2Qm for exactly this, and it's apparently e2e as well.

Bitcoin isn't really all that cool though.

It replaces trust with massive resource consumption and doesn't do a good job of being digital money (it is hard to use safely, it is hard to use anonymously).

Exactly my complaint - it's become the "obvious" way to do it than involved several 10s of thousands of lines of code (Celery+RabbitMQ+Redis) plus binary dependencies and associated background daemons.

Pollution, climate change, demography, and continuing digital transformation will be common drivers of 2020-2029

1. Much higher personal income and property taxes

2. Planned economy in most developed countries

3. Mass surveillance: Government, local administrations, emergency services, fire departments, police - will have access to personal profile of every citizen (which includes not just location history, but every digital trace)

4. More political scandals and geopolitical conflicts because everyone's private history can easily become public knowledge at proper time. More interference/brainwashing/propaganda in all countries

5. Self-driving delivery vehicles will be common: transportation of goods during night hours

6. Public transport and personal human-/motor- powered single-track vehicles will be much more adopted in most parts of the world

7. Small autonomous robots will be everywhere: construction works, food delivery, garbage collection, agricultural works, sorting, etc. Of course they also will work at night-time

8. More interstellar comets/asteroids will be found - they will be considered as the only viable way for interstellar travel from our Solar System to our closest neighbors like Proxima Centauri

9. No humans on Mars

I can confirm that I am reading all the feedback with avid interest.

There are lots of fair and constructive comments here which I'm going to be taking on-board both for York Tech Jobs and for future projects.

As many people have pointed out, the claim of being a business may be a bit farfetched at this stage. The spirit of the article was to show that building and validating a basic MVP is possible in a few hours, I added the last sentence about it being a business as a bit of a perhaps misplaced barb at people who are all talk, no action.

Thanks to everyone for their comments. It's really appreciated.

The overhand [1] and double overhand are quite different knots. Actually, since you specify that you mean the "Euro Death Knot", it is actually a "flat overhand bend" [2].

The parent's statement is not false, it's just that one must be precise about naming, because casual use leads to incorrect assumptions by others.

Other than that, yes, you are correct.

Indeed. Which one country just left the Paris Agreement? Hint: Not China or 3rd world countries.
> Once the users realised they had little sway in getting a post to the front page they left.

The only reason they left was because there was an alternative - reddit. If reddit wasn't around, digg would have a captive audience and they would be as big as reddit today. Reddit now has the same problem with power users + corporate/news/think tank/political party affiliated subreddit mods with heavy censorship. Fortunately for reddit, there really is no alternative. Also the same thing with youtube. People complain about censorship and mainstream corporate nonsense being peddled on reddit, youtube, etc, but they have nowhere to go.

If digg had waited a few years til reddit folded or they had a secure monopolistic position, they would be relevant today. Digg made the same mistake myspace did, piss off their users with a viable competitor around. And once the migration started, it was over.
Identify why you dread looking at it and address that head on. It could be personal, it could be a monolithic mess, it could be no comments, etc. and there are strategies for dealing with them, alternatively a new job.
- Because the original premise hasn't controlled for family, we can only work with the data we have

- Because other students in the same country succeed

- Because other students in the same educational system succeed

That argument only works if you manage to isolate the conditions to almost perfectly match a group, mine was "this teacher, teaching this subject" and the data fits.

Regardless, crying "my students use phones and all of them are failing" when there are students with other teachers that use phones as well and don't fail makes blaming phones an illogical conclusion.
I'm curious about this "everyone must sign" contract mentioned. Since employment is not mandatory, what is stopping the author or anyone from signing and then walking away after 1 day working there?
Given that Amazon employs tens of thousands of people, there's certainly a non-trivial number of employees who support anti-vax causes. It would be ludicrous to suggest that any group of employees can borrow the trademark and branding of their company to push their preferred social causes. Obvious PR disaster if the "Amazon workers against vaccines" organization started trending.

>> And just like learning to whistle, at first you'll sound like a raving lunatic and maybe even come close to passing out from hyperventilating.

Is it possible to learn to wolf-whistle as an adult? All the people I know who can told me they learned as children. I didn't and I wouldn't know where to start.

Edit: I'm not sure if I'm using the term "wolf whistle" right (not a native English speaker). I mean the kind of whistle one makes by putting the fingers in the mouth and sort of pressing the tongue down, and that sounds really loud.
1. Deep learning will enter its next wave with increased biomimicry end efficiency. Ai will continue to evolve linearly. AGI will still be decades off.

2. Psychidelics will again enter the public sphere and we will see phychidelic therapy in the UK/US. They will also lead the development of a new theory of the mind and consiousness that enter the mainstream.

3. Plant/fungus based food will continue to expand while meat consumption drops. Lab grown meat will prove possible.

4. Ai in healthcare will allow for decentralised expertise. The role and power of nurses will expand.

5. Analog computing with neuromorphic chips along with reinforcement learning will be used in robotic control.

6. Drones will be a common site in city airspace.

7. Apple will enter healthcare in a big way. Medical functionality will enter consumer electronics and continue to push data driven preventative heathcare foreward.

8. Antibiotic resistance will be a huge problem. We will continue to see the return of illnesses we thought we would never see again.

9. Robots will allow smaller plots of land to be productive and agriculture will move away from mega farms. Local farmers markets will become more popular and accessable.

10. Ai agents will continue to compete against and dominate humans but will inhabit a physical shell to even the input playing ground.

11. Cannabis will be legalised federally in the US and UK. Most medical benefits will prove to be hype.

12. Joe Rogan will host a presidential debate.
I cant see the West or EU last without either

Self segregation via RACE and Political viewpoint

or

Civil War

Most people are fucking sick and tired of the

Anti White

Anti Western

Anti Right wing

Anti Freedom

which is often funded by the Working CLASS , Whites or socialist slush funds by NGO/Corporations which are headed up by JEWS and Liberals which hate whites/freedom/right wing/western nations

Multil culturalism is never going to work with multiple RACES using multiple cultures, rules and double standards with courts/laws

Australia like many nations worked with multiple RACES
as long as we had

Right wing/Nationalism

1 rule for everyone

1 standard for everyone

1 law for everyone

Now that all western/eu nations are on the brink of national population genocide via
Mass Migration
Mass Murder via "ABORTION" (killing babies)
and ruining Western LAW/COURTS via Feminism/Duluth Model/pussy pass

Western men and even men in JP/SK/CHINA/EU
are walking away from

Simping

Dating

Marriage

Pandering to women

Thus once you remove the sexual power women have over males
you thus find women pointless to be "friends" or have a relationship with

This is why the LEFT and JEWS have clamped down on MGTOW and MRA communities

If all males walk away from marriage
it effects - economy , housing, retail and banking
and the only real change we see lately is when it effects
the loss of money from

Banks / Government / Society

Maybe the next step is white Western population stop paying forced taxation - income tax, forced super,etc

Live off grid and Live off system

Go back to rural districts and communities working together and solving their own problems and issues
without relying on big government and forced taxation to fund the solutions

1. Big Tech will get more stronger, and no tech company incorporated in this decade will reach 200B USD in value by 2030.

2. China will remain as authoritarian if not more, and Xi Jinping or someone handpicked by him will be leading China in 2030.

3. Apple will keep shifting more and more into Services, and by 2030, services will account for the majority of their profit.

4. More and more countries will see the rise of populist governments due to the voice amplification offered by Social media.

5. Facebook will reach 1T$ in market cap.

6. We will see atleast one big tech company reach 2T USD in market cap.

7. Cloud providers will churn out more and more services, to the point that more and more Enterprises will offload most things to them, and only write the very core business logic themselves.

8. No federated platform will come close to the success of email. No decentralised messaging platform will dethrone the market leaders.
Other People’s Money Was the Tech Innovation of the Decade
World War 3 starts.

Personal data stored in banks/ISPs/FB/Google etc are taken at gun point and used for population scale psychological warfare.

Kissinger(World Order)/Niall Ferguson(Square and the Tower)/Graham Allison(Thucydides Trap)/Moises Naim(End of Power) say networks of power are more and more unstable similar to 1914.

To maintain stability they(irrespective of ideology) keep pandering to their fan clubs and therefore get more and more inflexible.

Small triggers turn into national and then international conflict between major powers.

Kissenger's reasons -
1 The international economic system has become global the political structure of the world has remained based on the nation-state.
2. Acquiescing in the proliferation of nuclear weapons far beyond the Cold War club, so multiplying the possibilities of nuclear confrontation.
3. The new realm of cyberspace, in which asymmetry and a kind of congenital world disorder are built into relations between powers

The last time it took 30 years 1914-1945, after about 100 years of peace between the world powers, for everyone to take a breath and reboot to happen.

This time around the reboot should be much quicker. The nukes will get dropped faster, because thanks to tech all the major powers can do serious damage to each other very fast as soon as things escalate beyond control.

Normal people understand the scissors aren't meant to be 'closed', they simply mean "Cut" in most circumstances.

Most people have better things to do than waste time on some bizarre concept like 'animating emojis like scissors'.

But it is a good activity to keep the autistic mind occupied. Makes babysitting a lot easier!

I seem to recall China aiming to be self-sufficient when it comes to soybeans meant for human consumption. Imports from countries such as Brazil are mainly used as animal feed and source of oil. I wouldn't be surprised if this disruption was also seen in the Amazon.

I'm always fascinated when health care discussions start up on HN; watching Americans argue amongst themselves about single-payer or nationalized health care systems as if those systems are dangerous thought experiments are mesmerizing.

No matter how many people say "but a well regulated mandatory multi-payer type of system is working in Germany" or "nationalized medicine is working in Canada" it's all just ignored and the argument continues anew.

That's not really a difficulty of javascript the language - you're supposed to have your javascript completely separate from the HTML and CSS, with everything in static files of that type. Separation of concerns was built into the web from the beginning.

It just happens to be a popular architectural pattern at the moment to reimplement the DOM, HTML and CSS all in javascript and have one big mess of code.

It will be become increasingly clear that our mode of production is post-capitalist as the internet as ad-platform becomes increasingly problematic and the chimera of network-effects-as-value, an idea both before and past its time takes hold of the popular imagination. The battle between "capitalism" and "socialism" will come to the fore, but neither as recognizable versions of their pre-internet selves.
