> Lewis: Tell me about “spice,” which seems to have become the British prisoner’s drug of choice.

> Atkins: It was so ubiquitous. You could tell straightaway if someone was on it, they’d be zombified, with glazed eyes. They’d just be lying on their bed in a vegetative state.

> It’s the law of unintended consequences. An older screw [prisoner officer] said, it used to be that inmates would smoke weed. But then [jails] brought in drug testing, and marijuana stays in the system for a month. So they stopped doing that, and started to do spice, which makes people vegetative and violent.

There's hundreds of laws like this outside of prison. You take one thing away [with good intention] and then people find a new thing. But the new thing leaves society worse off (in this case crazy and violent off spice).

I personally believe the whole obsession with prison time for punishment in the US is a good example of this. The general public gets very vindictive, then you send them to con-college and they come out a worse criminal. With difficulty finding a job but plenty of new friends in the criminal world and a reputation as a tough-guy.

Consequently the whole war on drugs is the perfect example of unintended side-effects. Creating a hundred-billion dollar black market funding the worst cartels and street gangs. And hey we have thousands of tough guys coming out of prison in need of work.

Zoning laws are another good example of something that sounds like a good idea that ultimately hurts communities more than it helps - resulting in the mass suburbanization of America and urban ghettos [1]. Now people are moving back to cities with a serious lack of housing density, food deserts [2], driving to work becomes mandatory, etc etc. Then there's the War on Terrorism.....

I could go on.

Correct.

In order to preserve compatibility, Firefox's implementation has a "fallback" where if it sees that it can't resolve a domain, then it will fail back to using the system-configured DNS provider.

> [...] I’ve been reading up on ADHD. It seems to fit so many issues I have [...]

If you're feeling like that I strongly recommend that you consider consulting a competent medical professional with experience diagnosing ADHD/ADD and undergo an evaluation.

While your concerns around pharmaceutical-based approaches to assisting people to live with the affects of executive function related disorders (such as ADHD/ADD) are understandable, such decisions are a step beyond where you currently are.

ADHD/ADD is known as a disorder where (unlike most) simply having a diagnosis can have a significant positive impact on a person's ability to deal with it. This is in part because a diagnosis provides a new lens/perspective through which to view one's life and because the negative secondary effects (e.g. shame, guilt, depression, interpersonal & employment difficulties) of living with un-diagnosed ADHD/ADD have so much impact.

My understanding is that a combination of medication & therapy has been shown to be the most effective tool in helping most people live with the effects of ADHD/ADD but medication is by no means the only option--and there are some non-stimulant options also.

But with regard to "stimulants", the word itself & people's understanding of how they work leads to a lot of moralizing, misinformation & misunderstanding. To some degree the effect of a "stimulant medication" is similar to that of water to a house plant: if the plant has insufficient moisture in the surrounding soil then "stimulating" it with additional water from a watering can brings it up to a level of moisture required for a fulfilling life--but if the plant already has sufficient moisture then adding additional water may cause negative effects. But being "underwatered" is not a positive state of affairs.

If you would like to read further about ADHD/ADD (particularly the under-diagnosed "Primary Inattentive" subtype) I recommend considering "Driven to Distraction (Revised/Second Edition): Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder" by Edward Hallowell and John Ratey. One of the aspects I particularly appreciate is how much emphasis they put on the importance of a precise & accurate diagnosis as a starting point--e.g. they spend a chapter each on "things that are misdiagnosed as ADHD/ADD but are actually something else" & "things that are misdiagnosed as not ADHD/ADD but are in fact ADHD/ADD".

Good luck!

Edit: Oh, yeah, two other things:

* "Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria" is a common but less discussed aspect of ADHD/ADD.

* If comics are more your style, you might find a read of ADHD Alien enlightening: http://adhd-alien.com/

>Mozilla claims that Cloudflare is not paying them, and claims that they have a contract with cloudflare which prohibits them from selling the data.

As you said, this does not improve the situation. Mozilla can't even verify it.

Also it could be a reverse data selling situation like with Google: They don't sell the data, companies pay money to Google to display ads to the users. Since they have so much data, they can target specific groups more easily. Data doesn't even need to leave Google for that to work.
> Some people are early risers, wide awake at the crack of dawn. Others are night owls who can’t seem to get to bed until well after midnight and prefer to sleep in

I am neither one of those? I hate waking up early and I dislike going to bed late. My preferred hours awake are 8:00AM-10PM; I found this to give me the most optimal amount of physical and mental energy throughout the day. Not sure why 10 hours of sleep works best for me, but I've experimented with that number and always come back to it.

Side note: I do have sleep apnea and sleep with a CPAP, but my AHI is below 3 on average (down from 43 before treatment!).
Do you have an alternative to suggest with better support?
That will never happen under any circumstance.
If you watch their Ted talk, he discusses them expanding to those combinations as well.
Hackers have this idea that they can hack the law. However, judges are not computer programs blindly following the written instructions of the law. They are expected to apply "judgement" when resolving these cases, and they are likely to not be impressed by this effort. I suspect this will have the same effect as if a bunch of people got together and released a massive public domain dictionary and then claimed that authors could not bring copyright claims anymore because all the words they used were in the public domain dictionary.
My wife got one of those (or a similar model), and it was very helpful for her, especially during the toughest part of winter here when it's completely dark for 17 hours. For me on the other hand, I just made a deliberate mental switch when I was around 35 years old when I decided, for efficiency reasons, to stop working late evenings and doing all-nighters, and tried to catch the early bird instead. The switch was surprisingly easy for me, but YMMV of course. And I've since started working late evenings for a bit again, but my sleep habits have stuck.

> Even if browsers didn't use DoH, other devices could.

Precisely so.

> I don't think it makes sense to bemoan the newfound existence of safer infrastructure for everyone just because devices you don't like can also use that infrastructure.

I'm not. First, I don't think this is actually a "safer infrastructure" compared with other DNS encryption schemes, because it opens a new hole.

Second, this isn't about "devices I don't like" using an infrastructure. This is about software and websites being able to bypass a layer of my defenses.
Calm down, I'm not saying you are poor. Banks have started treating top ups as cash advances, even when your account has a positive balance. This has logical sense because you can immediately withdraw that money as cash.

For some reason Revolut is unable or unwilling to support normal cash transfer mechanisms.
As with most eSports, the key metric is how much inflow there is and how much outflow.

I'm not familiar enough with Overwatch specifically, but it sounds like there isn't enough income and prize pools to go around. The top team may earn a decent wage and splashy amounts, but there isn't enough at the 2nd or top 10 rung to support a thriving ecosystem longer-term.

I'm more familiar with the LoL/DotA scene where there's enough smaller tournaments and the prize pool+sponsorships are enough to cover a wide range of top talent. Yeah, there's a lot of hype about winning the #1 Internationals, but that's only for one team out of hundreds that play. Or compare to how LoL is set up with their leagues where the top X teams get to play consistently and take in a steady income. Plus their broadcasting system to bring in more income to support the scene.

Similarly, you can look at stream numbers to get a feel for other income available to the players.

In general, without a healthy "middle-class" and "upper middle-class" of players to bring excitement and income, you lack the buzz and support to build top-tier competition longer term. And those don't exist unless there are ways for them to keep playing and monetize their skills.

Fortunately, if you're grinding up the FPS ladders, most FPS games tend to have more transferable skills letting you move from game to game more easily than some genres. Ninja is pretty famous for being the best at Fortnite, but he was a pro PUBG player and pro Halo 3 player before that. So it's not uncommon to see FPS pro players shift between the more in vogue FPS game of the time. (Caveat that not all FPS games reward the same skills and all that, CS is not TF2 is not CoD is not Fortnite is not Overwatch)
If you pay for the premium/metal plan, the support is stellar as well (or at least, it has been for me)
There's more personal/private stuff than biometrics going on here.

Even there, it's not true, right? It's been a while since I learned / used Haskell, but I think something that transforms a { name: 'bob' } to a { name: 'sally' } would fit that bill, right? So, there are many implementations which meet the type signature, but you'd be pretty surprised if your `identity` function did this.
A part of their research, geneticists give flies mutagens and then screen (filter) them for desired properties. A famous one opined that if you push a screen hard enough, you'll always get what you asked for, just not what you wanted.

That thought has stuck with me, and I think it applies to this sort of interviewing as well. FAANG-style interviews push their screens extremely hard for a few traits. They get what they ask for, but in my experience, the resulting pool can be quite poor on a lot of other traits that turn out to be quite important. Some of these people can be truly miserable to work with and strikingly unproductive.

Hah, of course I meant the "techie" colloquial of Actor, not the thepsian one. But I suppose that my comment is true in both senses. :)

Thanks for clarifying. I'm not familiar with your theory, but at least I understand why you raised the point -- some Erlang programs are needlessly complicated due to the language's (colloquial!) actor semantics.
I agree with you, the point I was trying to convey is that Google isn't betting on Dart as a pioneering, untested technology as Rust is.

Flutter demonstrates Dart is a good choice; it gives you a successful declarative UI framework that effectively builds on Dart as a fairly straightforward upgrade of the most tried and true UI scripting language ever made: Javascript.

To answer the GP comment, betting the house on Dart for the UI doesn't seem like a strange or risky decision in that light.
so, you're essentially gatekeeping people's opinions about the code, because they don't understand the core concepts of Haskell?

I would argue that someone should be able to understand what a function does by reading the name regardless of their understanding of the underlying language it is written in.

I've noticed this type of weird expectation of understanding is very prevalent in the FP world, which makes it _harder_ for newcomers to understand code at face value.

> If you were able to "no longer be a night owl" after changing diet, through exercise or by other changes in your behavior, you were in fact never an actual night owl but simply someone with bad sleeping habits.

Is there an established strict definition of "night owl" that supports this conclusion? I always thought a night owl meant anyone who for whatever reason prefers to stay up late and sleep in, which doesn't really presuppose a genetic cause.
That is an ineffective approach for a number of reasons. This is essentially a blacklist approach, and blacklist approaches are very weak.

The number of such servers is in the several thousands, at least. They also move and new ones spin up, requiring constant updating of the blacklist.

It's much more effective to take a whitelist approach or, what I do, just block the DNS lookups for them all.

(That said, I do keep such a blacklist, as one small part of my multilayered security approach.)
Csound looks good, but I find that predefined instruments are hard to find, and not catalogued in a central place in the internet. Also doing drum tracks seems not so easy, none of the example csound music I have heard has drum tracks.

We are worlds apart — I don't think I've ever had a reply on HN further from my experience.

The murder rate in the USA is 5.3. In both the UK and Denmark (the countries I've lived) it's 1.2. Furthermore, the general feeling in society in both countries is that murder victims are criminals (drug dealers etc) or relatives/friends with the murderer (domestic violence, arguments). This is backed up at least by the British statistics [1] "furtherance of theft or gain accounted for 7% of homicides" "among suspects: 42% were known to be drug users and around a quarter (24%) were known to be drug dealers".

I've never known anyone who was murdered. I've never heard anyone speak of someone they know being murdered.

The burglary rate is higher, but a camera system probably isn't much of a deterrent.

Your ISP, however, is not prevented from collecting and selling your data by DoH. So the addition of default DoH in cloudflare adds an extra party that can intercept your traffic but does not remove any.

> DoH seems like a huge step forward in ensuring that no unencrypted traffic is visible to the ISP or local network

It does not do this.
Because Firefox's move is a media stunt in order to get them a lot of positive coverage and paint them as a "privacy-focused" browser.
Firefox by default is configured with a fallback option, where if resolution would fail, it will fallback to the system-provided DNS servers. So your internal TLDs are safe.

Additionally, if you've setup Firefox to be installed with Firefox for Enterprise, DoH is disabled by default and you've got nothing to worry about. DOH is able to be configured through GPO as well, allowing the use of a custom server.

They've built up a considerable amount of good-will in developer communities. Is there some historical indicator with cloudfare that suggests they are going to blow it all on their path to monetization, or are we extrapolating from other VC backed companies (which may be an understandable position to take, but why?)

With luck, this will lessen as you get older. Try to cultivate an "I don't give a fuck" attitude about this sort of thing.

Why do you want to not disable it I would say. Having DNS over HTTPS not only completely breaks local name resolution (e.g. http://fileserver) and you must manually specify IP addresses in the browser to connect to local hosts, but also if you already have (like I have on my LAN) a local DNS server that does DNS over TLS is useless and also you don't benefit from for example query filtration (I filter out ad servers and trackers from DNS requests)
Disney blocks John Oliver’s new episode critical of India’s PM Modi
no, that's a function from `named -> named`. `a -> a` is a function that takes any object, calls its type `a`, and returns an object of the same type.
The key point making `a -> a` have only a single implementation is that the type `a` is a wildcard that's determined by the caller - it must be possible for the implementation to accept any value of any type. The identity function is the only thing that can do that for all possible values.

If the type were `Int -> Int`, it could do a lot more.
That's fine for more technical users who are aware of how to mitigate this kind of issue, but then those same more technical users will also likely know how to disable DoH.

For the majority of users who may not understand the risks around plain text DNS, there are advantages to it being encrypted.
