Many years ago after reading PIHKAL I went a bit down this rabbit hole watching a bunch of what's on Youtube associated with Shulgin. He had given some presentation where he was clearly experiencing some mental problems. I'm sure you can find examples if you go digging, I don't have time to do that for you.
That’s a pretty shitty thing to say.
Given that bottles are all generally standard shapes, or can be easily standardized, why would cleaning not be an easy process to automate?

Yes, the vast majority of US citizens aren't getting brutalized by the police. Similarly, the vast majority of Chinese citizens are not being jailed or re-educated. You can't just compare the US population at large to the subset of Chinese people who speak out against the government.

The claim was that people in China live in a state of fear, and I refuted it. Let's not conflate things.
It could also be argued that there is an asymmetry of information. Consider trying to figure out how reliable a product is. By eliminating third-party servicing, it is very easy to conceal a product's failure rate. There is a strong conflict of interest in obtaining that information from vendors. Anecdotal information from consumers is going to be highly biased (one way or the other). While obtaining that information from people who repair equipment has its problems, they will have a better perspective.
Sounds like the right way to do things. I mean people aren’t perfectly intelligent, but being a bit stubborn about things even when you’re wrong sounds like a safe strategy in world of incomplete information. If people were less wrong-headed-confident they may not defend important other things they don’t know 100% to be right.

It’s a heuristic that can be wrong, but the heuristic itself isn’t kludgy just the occasional specific use case can be wrong.

Here’s an analogy: any individual ant does many things that look stupid for its own survival. But would you call the ants thinking “kludgy”?
Also, lawn maintenance was labor intensive and you needed a dedicated staff to keep it trim and watered.

Just like with any other thing, middle class tends to emulate the aristocrats once it becomes cheap enough, and end up rationalizing their choice.
I can certainly believe that's true because opportunities which can be solved by top-down process-driven progress can be addressed by market leaders and leave little opportunity for startups. Though I don't know that a sample of superstar companies makes for a definitive dataset. I know of multiple companies no one has ever heard of who are dominating their niches (that no one cares about, until you hear how much money they are making), and the most important factor to me looks like risk-taking, good positioning, and good timing by the leadership, not anything special in terms of technical achievements or flexibility by employees.

>worthwhile for other people to dig through it and bring it back into use.

Some states in Australia have a 10c tax on bottles and cans which can be refunded when you recycle them. Almost everyone recycles them at home but if you are away from home they tend to get chucked in the trash and you will see people walking around with bags and tongs picking cans out of the trash to cash in.

Make this a $1/bottle when reused and almost everyone will be taking them back or someone will certainly pick it out of the trash.

I think it might be worth having the local laws define a set of standard containers/bottles so when you return your beer bottle it doesn't have to go back to the exact same company. There is really no reason other than marketing to have custom bottles for every drink./
Seconded.

This is nothing to be fooled around with and I am not sure if mainstream articles such as these are helpful.

Bufo (Toad/5Meo-DMT) is extremely strong. You smoke it and you are in. Then you typically just drop out of the experience again. For some people it is blissful - like described in the article - the most common experience people have told me about is more like ego death. This can be a great experience, it can feel like hell; but whatever you feel: Integration is key! If you don’t know how to do that or have somebody experienced around: don’t. Maybe you’ll get lucky (many people do) but you might also feel more lost after than ever before.

Personally I find smoking DMT a little hard on the system. It is very different to ingesting it orally and - at least for me - harder to integrate than drinking e.g. Ayahuasca (NN-DMT and/or 5MeO-DMT admixtures). This is coming from someone with a lot of experience.

Psilocybin in small doses with assistance seem way more appropriate to me for people with depressions or similar.

That being said, if you are experienced, feel ready and feel the call: by all means. As the article says, it can be a life changing experience. You should however be ready for that change. Be safe.

More like? Not sure. The cause of? Surely. Best explained or represented by? Probably.
I think in the common case where you are just washing left over liquid and sanitizing the bottle it probably is super easy but then you have to deal with the rare cases where maybe the bottle is full of dirt or other things that would leave it still dirty after the cleaning process. I don't think its an impossible or even super difficult problem but it does raise the cost.
Yeah, but you are still getting killed out of nowhere. The audio cue was also usually accompanied by the sound of all the fireballs and shotgun blasts flying your way. That's why devs do stuff now like put blood on the floor if there's some sort of trap, so an observant player can dodge it, or at least learn how to avoid pointless deaths. Unless you know it's there ahead of time, there's no way in Doom to know that picking up a certain item or pressing a certain button will cause demons to start pouring out of the walls around you.

The lack of 32bit still prevents me from playing a few games, but I will continue to blame those developers rather than Apple - OSX has only supported 64bit platforms for a decade, there’s no excuse for any new software having been 32bit only in the last 5 years at least.
I'm pretty sure there was an article on here just recently about how people who spend money even on dumb things don't do it because they don't budget, but because it provides other particulars of happiness. It stated that human life is complicated and min maxing life financially differs from person to person. So while they may spend $200 on coffee, but may also bike to work daily. Or they just flat out enjoy it and trade money for that enjoyment.

However, the Lionshare of consumers are not rationalizing their purchases like people such as myself often do (I know that comes off as incredibly pretentious, I'm just using myself as an example). I've gotten worse with my money (or better) intentionally so as not to be too cheap and give off the feeling that I'm tight. Normally I'd be that way, but people dislike those kinds of people...like a lot.

Overall just think of it as people paying a tax for something to further continue. It's a tax you don't have to pay, but can freely do so if you choose.
yeah the word irked me too.
seeing this comes from an art-context I'd call it an 'intervention' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_intervention
> Developed countries not doing this is shameful.

I'd like to establish a variant of Chesterton's fence - something like 'You don't get to get morally outraged about something without understanding "why".'

Why are developed countries not doing it? My guess would be cost, so why is a "wasteful" practice cheaper? Is it something else than externalities that aren't properly represented in the cost, or is the morally odious thing possibly more efficient, or is it something else?

Without that answer, it's hard to suggest meaningful action: If it's the externalities, we need to make them part of the cost. If it's actually more efficient this way, we need to stop demanding to make it worse. And if it's something else, then we need to figure out what it is and whether/how to address it.

But right now, it seems like random things are picked based on looks/feelings, pointed at, and demanded to change (usually to something that was done in the past and is no longer done).
I've typically not been a fan of formal holidays, as being a founder of my own businesses means that I enjoy what I am doing and don't really want to stop (and have not always had the ability to take time away). These days, with children, and my company being larger, I am taking holidays, but still somewhat reluctantly! It is nice to have the option to take holidays, but they don't suit everyone, and I think that you should feel able to say that they just don't suit you much.

FWIW I am male.

They did not get everything right. But a few things worked better than in the west. Namely the stuff I mentioned, reuse and recycling, urban planning and public transit. The centralization of the market was a disaster however.
> The TL;DR to me is it's a complicated way to subsidise the hydrogen economy?

I get that impression too. The widespread usage of gasoline for passenger cars has created lots of jobs: Driving trucks for gasoline transportation, maintaining pumping equipment, gas station attendants, etc. If these jobs disappear due to a switch to electric vehicles in addition to the jobs lost due to the lower maintenance costs of electric cars then it seems reasonable to assume that some companies or organizations will try to maintain the current infrastructure. Even if it requires a switch to hydrogen.
So it is the US Gov bribing the CDC to "hurt" China? No. While the CDC is tarnished by the events surrounding the 2015 scandals, and the US is in opposition to many Chinese initiatives, these things are not related. Hurting China via misinformation about a legitimate contagion hurts the world. There are levels of trust and Chinese officials are about as reliable as US candidates running for office (ie I have 0 trust).
This particular one is very interesting.
"gato" does not originate from the word refering the animal, but from gatillar (triggering) that was slang for who used to pay for company (To put it in simple words).
From there it evolved to several meanings, the most important one being the person that acts as gatekeeper for somebody more important (In jails and mobs).

that is what is was very, very often used to refer to the ex president Macri.
Nepali people use a similar method for gossiping. The syllables are reversed, making it hard for people around to understand what they're saying. Only the two conversing know what they're talking about and they've done it for long enough that they can easily parse through it.

It's a hard skill to master, which is why it's easy to assume those around don't understand what's being talked about.
Distribution maintainers have already figured out how to package Rust in a modular fashion and build without touching the network. Cargo specifically provides facilities to help distribution maintainers provide dependencies themselves. Based on those facilities, I built the initial prototype of Rust packaging for Debian ("debcargo"), and the current Debian Rust maintainers have made further huge advances in packaging.

So no, Cargo doesn't "sidestep" distribution packaging, it works with distribution packaging.

Also, neither the standard library nor the compiler have "churn"; we're very careful to make sure old code still compiles with current Rust.

No, that's not the only point you've been arguing. In response to the assertion that American dissidents are not jailed or killed as a matter of policy, you responded with this:

> Plenty of people were jailed in the occupy wall street peaceful demonstrations. Open your eyes.

My argument is that this is a bullshit, apples-to-oranges distraction. I'm sorry to be so blunt.

> Americans have no idea they are being fed propaganda.

What "Americans" are you talking about? You're talking to an American right now. There are millions of us fully aware that we're swimming in spin, biased reporting, and government misinformation. If anything, seeing propaganda everywhere we look has become a bit of an American pastime. Regardless, look around at this forum; I can't count how many heated debates we've had on HN about the dark, rotten corners of this country's past and present. Everything from the genocide of the Native Americans to the Lost Cause, the Iraq War, Snowden, what have you.

It's bizarre that you can invoke the deaths of American protesters at the hands of the police, and then condemn Americans' collective gullibility and disinterest as though it's somehow comparable, in any fucking way whatsoever, to things like the Great Firewall. They are not comparable.

You and I agree on more things than not. But on some topics like this, I really think you get carried away with sweeping and reactionary generalizations that don't help your case.
I admire the WICEN volunteers. Sending messages across oceans with a AAA battery is not easy, and a community will only need to do that once in anyone's lifetime. But, on rare occasions like the Indian Ocean tsunami, when a continental-scale catastrophe destroys whatever didn't fit in anyone's pocket, that capability is really useful to have. You have to respect the people who keep organising to make it available through the decades where nothing happens, and organise effectively enough that things work when they need to.

The existence or non-existence of exploits isn't very interesting. The rate that users make vulnerable code is more interesting. The fact that remote-code execution vulnerabilities are still very common in C codebases even after people and the ecosystem have had decades to learn the ins and outs of C is concerning. Maybe the rate of RCE occurrences in C codebases has gone down over time as people have been educated about vulnerabilities more, but I would guess that the rate of RCE vulnerabilities in C codebases is still much higher than the rate ever was for safer languages.

It could be argued that physics has nothing at all to do with math; merely, that it is a convenient and powerful tool for humans to make sense of it.

I've seen Susskind convincingly (albeit shallowly) argue that more "primitive" animals understand physics and I would be surprised if it was easy to argue that animals understand mathematics without circular logic or quick and loose definitions of what math is.

Thank you for this post, never read anything like this explanation. It offers a new and very interesting perspective.
It might be - ironically - due to that Indian group's preprint with crappy method that suggested the virus was intentionally hybridised from HIV and coronavirus.

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.30.927871v1....

If you took that preprint at face value, before the flaws were pointed out e.g.

Then mixing up a cocktail of flu and HIV anti-virals would be a smart move.

If this result pans out, it might just be a remarkable piece of serendipity from some shitty science.
> People can be sick for quite some time (in this case, a month, maybe?) and then ultimately die from the disease

Usually, not from a viral infection. The usual scenario from a viral infection is that if you are not dead in 2 weeks, you will almost certainly recover.

There are exceptions, but nothing I've read about this virus leads to the conclusion that it is one of those.
That should just be the default routing unless it's absolutely unavoidable.
