I think it might be you get your head blown, but only if you demand help and start denigrating a project because it should support this and that. I actually found very good behavior in mailing lists to very outright rude or careless questions. To the point that I think such question or remarks in real life would constitute very unnecessary behavior.
Boeing's ousted CEO departs with $62M, even without severance pay
> Anybody, even the most low agency circumstances, can choose how they approach life.

That is a very common ideology around these parts (and also in the US), but it is simply not true. We are constrained by our mental health in how we can choose to approach life, and our mental health is partly due to genetic lottery and partly due to environmental circumstances outside of our control. This is not my opinion, scientific studies are massively (as you would say) in agreement with what I claim here.

The American obsession with "winner" and "losers" is just an excuse to be selfish and cruel. Its fruits are extreme economic equality, school shootings and people dying of easily curable diseases because they don't have money for the treatment (or even the ambulance to the hospital).
I have long wondered about this. In the Asian world, traditional Systems of Medicine focus on "holistic" treatment and the general public often calls Western Medicine, "Allopathy with side-effects". I had intuitively felt that these medicines must have an overall effect on behaviour which may always not be obvious to the observer unless the difference between the before and after were stark and noticeable.

We really need a lot more research on this aspect of all commonly used medicines. A lot of our mood-swings, irritability, anger, anti-social behaviour etc. might be explained by this.

I think in his case, he had just given up, and decided he was going to die relatively young. In that scenario, why not run up big debts? He must have been planning his exit for a while.

The slightest silver lining was that no one in the family felt any need to step up and go through the traumatic experience of administering his estate: it had negative value, so what would have been the point? I'm not sure whatever happened to his car, which was left parked on the street somewhere. I also felt sorry for the people he had rented his house from, as he left it in a state that required considerable repair. They tried to get the family to pay for that, but of course they had no legal leg to stand on. I told the court I'd have no objection to them, as debtors, handling the estate, if they wished to do so, but they never did.

Three days of silence? Yes. Three days of active denial? Hell no.

The Head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization had this to say: «The version that the plane was shot down by a rocket cannot be true under any circumstances … it is impossible from the scientific point of view.»

If they really wanted to tell the truth after some days then why wouldn't he just shut up in the meantime?

Or the introduction of the CCD. It produces digital images (which can be analyzed by software automatically), has a linear response to input (so you can reliably measure the brightness of objects), and has much higher quantum efficiency (nearly every photon is detected).

Where to draw the line between modern and pre-modern astronomy is a bit of a subjective question, but there's no doubt that the introduction of the telescope was revolutionary.
Even with a dozen backup yubikeys and spare codes written down I’d still be much more likely to lock myself out than be attacked.

I am not sure this is true. Most people regularly get phishing e-mails and apparently fall for it.

SMS and TOTP (due to the window of time the TOTP code is valid) only provide limited protection against active phishing attacks, since phishing site can 'proxy' the the SMS/TOTP code besides the password.

I think I would prefer losing access to an account (since I make backups of critical stuff anyway) than my account getting compromised, which could lead to identity theft/fraud, etc.

Yeah, we have fixed pricing in Prague. I believe that Uber was forced to implement it by government to distinguish itself from taxi service and the related regulations (which truly are obsolete). From a customer perspective, it was a win and one more reason to prefer Uber over a traditional taxi.
> Reverence of ww2 will be determined by who is in power. History, as all other propaganda, is written by those in power.

I think this occurs within some time frame of the event, and even then only among the better known, funded and "court approved" historians. There will be outcast historians that plug away at recording various facts surrounding the event (e.g., continued investigation into whether FDR was intentionally bellicose, was it truly necessary to nuke Japan, was fire bombing the German civilians tactically useful, etc.).
A database of multi-channel signals during isometric hand muscles contractions
I've took various antidepressant (SSRI/SNRI/SARI) medications over the course of my life and some minor & major tranquilizers. Some alone, some in combination. Heck, during some time I even mixed them with psychoactive instances like LSD/amphetamines.

I doubt that it changed who I am, but it changed on how I act. Well, of course it depends on definition of who we are to start with. They certainly affect on how do you feel and how do you think, but when effects wear off, you typically return to your former ways. Maybe with new thoughts or new look at your life. But that's it.

I continue to see those kind of meds as a mere tools, which you can use to alter your thinking for a period of time to get yourself a fresh look at ordinary things. I think that therapeutic effect exists here only if you get some realization about your former ways.

Some meds made me worry less about my life when I've realized that worrying doesn't actual solve anything, it just makes you feel worse.

Some made me more emphatic towards people when I've realized that everyone is exactly as same as me, just with different life story.

eh... okay I'll bite.

I have ported three different devices to OpenWRT/LEDE over the years. In the first instance, it was pretty easy and they just accepted it.

In the second case they gave me the runaround and bullshitted until I just said I gave up. I used an alternate email address/alias to get it accepted. They took it with almost no changes just because they thought I was another person. They would have never accepted it had they known.

In the third case I was given a hard time again and just gave up, but never went back to get the device accepted and just don't care.

There are people like Kresin and Crispin and a few other toxic jerks who will fuck around with you for reasons I don't completely understand. There's a lot of smoke-filled-room bullshit that goes on in IRC channels that nobody ever gets to see in the OpenWRT community and so the decision making is super opaque and you have no idea what the real reason is they won't accept your patch while they pretend there's something else wrong with it on the mailing list (sudden onset application of policy that doesn't exist or they will just ask you to explain something begin and then pretend they don't understand).

It's not all bad over there. jow and Felix Fietkau are awesome, but they either don't have the power or don't care to make the org better.

The whole LEDE/OpenWRT fork thing will tell you a lot about the organization.

Oh yea, I almost forgot. How did OP here know about the new release of OpenWRT? They have no end-user mailing list. They don't have a twitter feed. They don't do facebook. They seem to hate their userbase because they have NO MECHANISM to alert end-users that there's a new release of the operating system. The update the wiki, maybe do a forum post if you are lucky, and that's it. Pure word-of-mouth.

Yea OpenWRT has problems.

The 2020s Will Be the Decade of Deficit Doomsday
I have a CB600F Hornet too, for commuting in less pleasant weather, and smaller engines need handfuls of clutch slip and screaming in lower gears to be responsive. Which of course I apply since I'm used to more shove.

And thus I'm thinking about trading it in for something with more torque, as the screaming is less interesting to me and exposes more vibrations especially in older bikes. Could go either way with that (big engine or electric); though I have an inkling it might be worthwhile seeing what plug in scooters are available. Or if the cycle lane assault on road space continues in London, the fastest electric bike I can find.

I had a similar experience with a track phone I bought as a cheap balloon tracker: As soon as I put it on WiFi it pulled down maybe a gigabyte of random crap (it looked like mostly games but also “facebook” and some other things like that.) It refused to install termux until it had installed a dozen or so worthless things.
yes and this would not be contested. the same way we are not surprised when the drugs we take have the intended effect. this goes wrong is when the side effects are unexpected or undesirable. as a society we are conditioned to be entitled and to believe everything has an easy/quick fix.

I also read this Atlas Obscura article-Alan Bean did not carry apple seeds to the moon. All Astronauts have a list of what they personally took on the mission (flags, jewelry, military insignia). Apple seeds was not part of Alan Bean's list. In addition I am unaware of any apple seeds carried as part of an Apollo 12 NASA experiment. ALSEP, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package contained the Apollo 12 science experiments. There is a chance Alan Bean conducted an experiment with apple seeds on board Skylab, although I do not remember one. There were many Skylab experiments and apple seeds could have been part of one of those experiments. That fact could be verified using the Skylab II mission documentation. Amy Bean
Ignoring USA politics for a moment, can we admit that the current state of Syria is better for both residents and the world than the current state of Libya?

I think this is most effectively done offline. Attempt anything online and suddenly the haters come out of the woodwork and shout you down.
As the article mentions, this is a complicated, not-simple type of thing to filter out.

If it were anything other than the BBC reporting it, I would probably have a raised eyebrow.

One of the things that makes it difficult to develop a causative link, is things like someone may suddenly develop symptoms of heart disease or high blood pressure, but they are also going through a personally stressful time, and have taken to exercising less, worrying, and sitting around eating popcorn.

It may seem as if some medication or practice is the cause, but exercising less, and munching salt can throw the curve. Being worried about the future (or our own health -the reason we’re on the meds) can also have a fairly profound effect on things.

Animal testing will usually control for stuff, but real life is messy.

For example, alcohol is known to interact with all kinds of compounds. Rats don’t drink, so, unless the researchers deliberately introduce alcohol (in realistic dosage) in their regimen, they can be quite surprised, when unanticipated things start happening in human trials.

I’ve heard of unanticipated results manifesting, because a symptom only appeared within a certain dosage window, and testing had used extreme dosages.
Women have a choice of what they want to wear. If they want to wear leggings with no pockets, they can. If they want to wear "boyfriend" cut jeans with exactly the same pockets as men, they can. If they want to wear a dress with pockets, they can.

A trip to a women's clothing store would disprove the notion that women don't have choices very quickly.

Did you skip reading the second paragraph I wrote?

If you’re already powerful, the same rules don’t quite apply.
An easy but not glamorous course of action to prevent this from happening on a large scale is flushing the notion that taking a pill for everything everytime is A-OK out of Western culture.

The average American is on ~1 prescribed pain killer and usually has access to several other over the counter opioids. People take incredibly potent whatevers against the mildest allergies to prevent having reddish eyes. A pill to take the edge off, a pill to calm down. Kids who are not firmly in the right area of every imaginable performance bell curve at age 7 get a whole palette of medicine against fictional anger issues, concentration issues, learning issues, anxiety issues.

I am glad that the topic of psychological side effects is gaining traction. Personally, I have always felt that taking any medicine is most likely going to be a trade-off against side effects we do not really understand yet. Keeping this in mind, one can make a much more sensible decision whether or not to take a pill. If we get this notion back into the head of people it would help a lot IMO.
i believe this is taking a little bit too far. it’s about actually measuring/quantifying the effects. when this is hard/really expensive to do I’m sure the decision not to pursue it is made at several levels. in research (and especially in cutting edge research) you don’t get to explore everything and you have to carefully pick and choose what you do if you want to be around more than a few years.
Tangentially (and anecdotally), not long ago I seem to have contracted what seems like a flu (or the like), and I remember feeling very healthy, social and unusually well—almost high—most of the day right until my brain went foggy and fever started.

In hindsight, I did not behave quite like myself that day, especially considering I felt somewhat overworked the preceding week.

This prompted me to first draw the analogy with taking and withdrawing from a substance, and then to imagine a possibility of some future human-made flu-like virus that preserves the incubation stage effects and lacks the “conventional” symptoms. Like a contagious mood boost, contractable for free by air!

It changes the behavioral relationship between Uber and the drivers.

If the company controls what the worker does and how the worker does it then the worker should likely be classified as an employee. By fixing the rates and giving drivers control over which rides to take Uber is strengthening their argument that drivers are contractors, not employees.

As more information about Boeing leaks out, the 737 Max story keeps getting worse.

For example:

> Also, when someone badmouths a really famous person, that badmouthing can get some traction on its own just from the namedropping. When someone badmouths a niche-famous person, it's hard to get much traction. So their envy/ hatred doesn't really go anywhere.

I feel this is very important point pg didn't consider in his essay. The degree of fame one has amplifies the fanboyism and hate they receive, because the more famous someone is, the more status can a fan or hater get with their peers by displaying obsession about said celebrity.
