The hallucinations and other side effects is a good part of why I do LSD, to tell you the truth. It is OK that I need to set aside a day to do it. I'm good with that.

Regular medicines have side effects. Sometimes they are pretty bad side effects, but in general, folks think it is better than the alternative OR the side effects don't happen to all folks, and you won't know until you take it. Psychiatric drugs sometimes make things worse, but you won't always know - which is why some folks get started in the hospital. Heck, I have MS. The side effects from the drugs are kinda worse than the disease for me, but they mean I'm more likely to walk and draw in 10 years.

And all sorts of things can change your personality. For me: Age, people's deaths, moving to another country, abusive relationship, someone else's suicide attempt, things I've learned, and a slew of other things. LSD didn't have a more profound effect than these sorts of things. MDMA kind of did, but that was definitely for the better as I'm happier with myself.

All this said, I'll agree that these aren't for everyone, but no medicine is. And for some folks, these drugs work wonders and I don't want to take that away from folks.

Note that there's older OpenID (without "Connect"), which, to my knowledge, is more or less dead nowadays, and OpenID Connect, which is indeed built on top of OAuth. Both are indeed SSO, though.

I disagree completely that central banks trying to increase the money supply is righteous in any way. I'm a value producer and this monetary policy has harmed me.

I can see exactly how it has harmed me and I can see the kinds of people it has benefited and I don't agree at all. The central bank has stolen value from me and given it to my enemy.

And if you’re a Bayesian, you can choose a stopping criterion based on your desired degree of certainty. This can have practical benefits of not having to run an experiment to its end.

A family member was part of the control group for a cancer treatment study a few years back. The study chose a stopping criterion based on Bayesian methods. Relatively early into the study they were able to determine that it made sense to move people from the control group to the treatment group.
At the time, making a language that on ran on the Erlang VM with Erlang semantics that looked like ruby probably seemed like a huge advantage to Elixir. (Plus, the people who developed it were rubyists and former rubyists who honestly liked the 'look alike' elements they took from ruby, it wasn't just a cynical attempt at manipulation).

but these days ruby's popularity seems to be waning (personally I don't think for any technical reasons, especially when compared to it's nearest neighbor python; to me it's like a 'betamax vs vhs' thing, and makes me sad, but nonetheless) -- and the association to ruby may actually be holding it back as people have (IMO unjustified) negative perceptions of ruby. :(

I agree on alcohol issues 100%. But drugs are in addition to alcohol, not instead of. And we figured the troubles with alcohol way too late to have any chance of removing it from its potential abusers. Drugs, especially synthetic, we understood their danger before they became socially acceptable.
Heavy disagree, protocols are just an interface like solution and things that share a common set of functionality can probably benefit from utilizing a protocol.

GenServers I disagree with you on even more so since they can handle arbitrary messages (handle_info) it makes it a lot easier to do things like run a continuous process that does an action every n seconds as an example and also to handle life cycle messages from other processes. Oh my downstream consumer says things are finished handle a message that cleans up the children processes and shuts down the supervisor so we don't keep polling.

I use them to great effect in web crawling as a producer for things like Broadway and things like Agent or Task don't have the flexibility at the level I need it.
On the opposite, you'll appreciate those small moments more because this might be the last moment you have. Reminding yourself of death often keeps you from taking life for granted.

I think Americans hide from death too much. We try to put boxes around it. I say this as one. I envy cultures where they're more open and public about it. I'l say that New Orleans does something right. They have parade parties when a loved one dies.
I'm sure they're watching this closely. But for now, scams are still more profitable for them than cracking down on those scams. A moderate amount of impact to brand value is always acceptable to near-monopolies.
For many products there is a way to separate out the reviews, although it is not obvious how to do it:

Click the "nnn customer ratings" to get to the review section.

In the barchart on the left, click any of the "n star" or "nn%" links.

Above the reviews will be a row of dropdown lists, which may include "All formats" or "All styles" or the like. There you can select the individual product variation. You can also change the "n star only" to "All stars" to get all the reviews for that variation.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for the book being discussed here.

But in the remote chance this is what the future holds, the AI may not even need your body. It might be able to simulate you up to the moment of your death. Or find some quirk of physics and pull you forward in time. To suffer forever.

Or maybe it's benevolent and lets us live in an eternity of bliss?

Maybe it gets bored and does this for all humans that ever lived. There might be some arbitrary criteria or some random number generator it uses to decide your fate.

> “Magic” in any language is always bad.

only because we reserve the use of the word "magic" for the times we find it bad/unsuccesful.

When it's good/successful, we call it "powerful, mature, and robust high-level abstractions and APIs".

That "magic" is always bad is just a syllogism because a value judgement on the success of the abstractions or APIs is built into the term as used. Abstractions that are confusing, or unexpected, or inconsistent internally or with the platform they live on, or especially leaky or buggy, or in practice hard for beginner developer-users to develop proper mental models to guide use around and to understand how to debug the use of -- get called "magic". But nobody set out to provide such abstractions, they set out to provide nice, polished, predictable, simple to understand, consistent, powerful tools at the right level of abstraction for the domain -- when someone thinks they've failed, with abstractions at a fairly high level or higher than the speaker thinks is appropriate for the domain -- they call it 'magic'.
I think we agree!

"the side effect of this drug is serious hallucinations every time you take it, often serious enough that people recommend that you only take it in the presence of a licensed professional able to deal with the fallout of a hallucinatory episode going bad"

Many consider the "hallucinations" to be actually quite valuable and seek them out. So that this substance causes them would be a plus.

As for doing psychedelics with a therapist, that can be beneficial, depending on what your goals are, where you are in your life, whether you can find a good therapist who you like, respect, and trust, etc.

But taking psychedelics in a therapeutic context is not the only legitimate way of using them constructively. You could also take them in shamanic, religious, ritualistic, creative, sexual, or even playful contexts -- though some would argue that these are seriously powerful and perhaps even sacred substances that deserve tremendous respect and should not be used casually.

As for the trip turning "bad", that's always a possibility because these are in fact very, very powerful substances, and one could get in to a situation one is not capable of dealing with on one's own.

That's why having an experienced person you like and trust with you is essential.

It's like going on an expedition to Antarctica or to the moon. You wouldn't be advised to try it alone. An experienced companion can help you in all sorts of ways and have your back.

That doesn't mean the trip is not worth taking. It just means that you should prepare thoroughly and take every reasonable precaution.

Also, regarding bad trips: it may be more productive to call them "difficult trips" or, better, "challenging trips". If one takes the attitude of curiosity and tries to learn something from every experience, no matter how unsettling, one may find that the challenging trips are ones that offer a lot of learning opportunities. I know that I've learned far more from my bad trips than the good ones.

That doesn't mean that everyone can deal with anything that comes up during a challenging trip.. some people are clearly not ready, or have some demons they really, really don't want to or aren't capable of facing. This is why doing this in a therapeutic context may be safest, but at least go in with an experienced person you like and trust. They might be able to help.

As for personality changes... that could actually be a good thing. Some people are happy with themselves the way they are, others are looking for a change. However, such changes on psychedelics don't tend to be permanent. After a while, people tend to slide back in to the same old habits and the same old ways of viewing the world. It usually takes very significant, conscious, and deliberate effort over the long run to have a chance of making what you learn during a trip in to your life stay with your forever.
It's really not that bad to learn, to deploy and to work with. You don't have to go all-in distributed system, shared state etc to get a lot of benefit from Ex and the smart decisions it has made.
Personal opinion: I think it was around 2004 when the media slowly stopped being the journalists that protect our democracy, and instead corporations and individuals with political agendas. Sure there were plenty of newspapers and outlets that leaned one way or the other, but it was never so blatantly partisan, to the point of suspect. Journalists are not the enemy of the people, but the media of today certainly doesn't act like it.

> But drugs are in addition to alcohol, not instead of.

What do you mean by that?

How is that relevant to whether we should treat drugs the same as or differently to "having a beer" ?

In particular you seemed to think it was wrong that they were treated the same or similarly by youtubers - but if the relative harms are comparable or even lesser for many drugs, why is this wrong?

Do you think if more drugs were legal alcohol consumption might not drop in some places?

There appears to be some evidence that in states with legal cannabis, for instance, binge drinking declines - https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeadams/2018/04/05/binge-drin...

For a consultancy, the web page is what Graham calls "playing house." It's easier to build a web page than find clients and building a web page feels like meaningful work. It isn't. Nobody hires consultants from a web page.
More to the point with ebooks: under how many circumstances would you have multiple editions from multiple publishers? From some of the comments below, Amazon clearly knows that they are the same book yet are letting them be published without question. Perhaps they should flag ebooks and verify the rights outside of those circumstances. It may be a lot of work at first, but I doubt that there would be as many attempted scams once Amazon starts weeding them out.

(The reasons I can think of for different publishers are: public domain books, titles that have been in publication long enough for contracts to run out, and editions that are restricted by region._)
And this is why wisdom tells us that all people are complex figures that can’t be put into “good” and “evil” buckets. If you look close enough at any historical figure they have lots of skeletons. I have yet to find the pure person who passes all of the current year’s litmus tests.

> You can use Redis in Elixir as well.

Totally but a lot of folks say "but Elixir is good / easier because you don't need tools like Redis". But then when you try to do it without Redis you need to account for many things yourself and end up re-inventing the wheel. This is time spent developing library'ish code instead of your business logic.

It's sort like background job processing tools. Sure you can do everything in Elixir, but when you want uniqueness guarantees, queues, priorities, exponential back-off retries, periodic tasks, etc. you end up using a dedicated background processing tool in the end because it's very difficult and time consuming to write all of that from scratch.

But in practice almost all of those things end up being a requirement in a production grade system. You end up in the same boat as Python and Ruby.
It is happening because of power. Students have found that they can bully professors and administrators, and bend them to their personal beliefs. It's a sense of power that, like most forms of power, becomes very intoxicating.
