I have only taken psychadellic mushrooms on two occasions. But on both of those occasions I found that they clued me into the fact that all the various mental abstractions we have built for ourselves in life and society are not necessarily 'wrong', but definitely questionable. The first time I got the very intense feeling that money, societal roles, and national borders are not real and are in fact only collective delusions. The feeling was so strong and impactful it has shaped the course of my life henceforth.

The second time I had an infinite sadness for my middle-manager boss at a tech company because I realized how he must lead a totally unrewarding and incredibly fear-laden life.

It doesn't really surprise me that they are illegal.
Might this be a basis of a better mass screening than temperature before entering somewhere? Hand a person a disposable card with a dozen circles on it and ask "which one smells like peppermint"?

If Bitcoin's critical mass is ever shrunk enough that a single party can execute a 51% attack against the currency, someone will, and the currency will quickly cease to exist as an asset or tradeable currency.

If the US and China crack down on trading houses and currency conversion (aka ban them) there's not enough mining happening elsewhere in the world to keep the chain safe.
So, the "UNFCK the internet" landing page is transmitting the x-clacks-overhead header [1] which is heartwarming, but then I noticed that https://xclacksoverhead.org/ itself tracks you with google-analytics.com, which I find rather against the spirit, both of the whole GNU Terry Pratchett effort and the UNFCK the internet campaign.

Would it work to set up an ESP32 as a WiFi access point that doesn’t route traffic? I wonder if the Samsung would detect that it’s an unhelpful internet connection and keep looking, or lock onto the bad network the user supplied.
My hope is that this is highly dependent on fuel source. Really bad for coal, medium for kerosene and not a huge issue for natural gas.
You can comment this on any outage that ever happens. "Why didn't they have a test for that?"

The answer is that tests are never perfect. If you want to create an integration environment that mimics prod, you have to fork an entire parallel universe into your integ environment to run the test. Anything else will diverge from the reality of the future.

Even if every vendor's service or hardware had integration tests, that doesn't mean that the integration tests covered every case. It doesn't mean there's not an emergent property of two systems behaving in a slightly unexpected way that turns into a catastrophic result.

It's not necessarily even possible to have two copies of some of the systems; who knows how expensive a given vendor's hardware box is.

It's definitely not possible to exactly mimic future traffic. Perhaps in the test environment it works, then the prod environment, requests are different so it fails.

Hardware errors happen, and integ testing those is difficult to say the least.
I submitted this article because I thought it was interesting which medical treatments the leader of the free world would receive vs the average patient. The article was medical in nature and not political in any way. I think it's sad the submission gets moderated off HN. I was hoping to read some interesting comments from HN users in the medical field.
Same here, although I also had a cough and fever. My wife is a doctor and got infected at work, she suffered only a mild illness with mild fever on day one and then a cough for the rest of the week. After 7 days she went back to work (according with gov guidelines) and was never unwell again. When she was self isolating at home I looked after her and must have been exposed to huge viral loads as I was obviously in very close contact and didn’t change my behaviour at all. I was just there as if she had a normal flu or cold, so warm hugging her at night, still giving her kisses and going normally about life. 5 days into her isolation I got a fever as well and I had a very high fever for the first two days. Then it disappeared like it normally would and I just had a cough left for the week and felt a bit tired obviously. After roughly 10 days I felt like I was all good again and even started to go for runs in the park again and to work out at home again. Weirdly we lost our sense of taste and smell entirely towards the end of the first 7 days and it lasted for about 5 days in total despite all other symptoms having disappeared. It was a complete loss, like nothing I had ever had before. All in all the loss of smell and taste was literally the most annoying about it, otherwise it felt like an extremely mild flu like not even worth talking about. Luckily smell and taste came fully back, just suddenly one day it was back and that was the end of story. This happened in early April in the UK. Since then we felt great, no lasting symptoms whatsoever. I’m not a super athlete or anything, but I do enjoy sports and I have maintained a great condition and actually even feel a lot stronger than before. Probably because due to the extra work outs I get from all the extra time. This virus is just a regular respiratory illness and it’s honestly so mild I cannot believe how the world is going bonkers over this. I actually hope that the more people get it hopefully they will realise like me that this whole reaction to COVID is massively over the top. There will always be some people with complications and some who die. But that is literally just like with other viruses which we don’t care about. If you’re in normal health, are not fat and not end of life, then there’s nothing to worry about.

EDIT:
I’m 33 and my wife is 32 btw.
If you remember back to taking chemistry in school, you might recall Avogadro's Law, which states that equal volumes of gases have the same number of molecules.

So if we're constantly breathing in a certain volume of gas and then breathing out that same volume of gas, then it would stand to reason that we have to be losing weight continuously, because CO2 has a higher molar mass than O2.

Sure, "it's more complicated". But the most basic, predominate mechanism is that you're literally burning carbon and exhaling CO2. Only from that realization can you start to identify and answer more sophisticated questions, including the exceptions.

My point is that you can get an incredible amount of mileage from the most basic principles taught in school. Which is literally the point of a basic education. But people tend to emphasize "don't believe everything you learn in school" rather than "most of what you're taught in school are foundational truths to your environment that can have immense utility in your day-to-day life." If you focus on the former rather than the latter, you won't get into the habit of learning how to apply your knowledge. And if you're not well practiced at application--which is a life-long endeavor for even the most basic rules--then superficially that knowledge tends to seem useless.

I never studied computer science in college--I was already writing Perl and JavaScript when I entered a 101 course which was teaching Pascal, and I dropped it the next week. But I did end up learning--and still learn--the theory and its application. I often hear computer science graduates lament that they never actually need to apply what they learned in school in their professional lives. Well, "need" and "can" are two different things and it's a choice you make. Failure to rigorously apply even basic principles is a big reason, IME, why so much software is utter crap. Do you need to consider algorithmic complexity for every little script you write? Yes! Not because it necessarily matters to the performance of the script, per se, but because the script will be part of a larger data processing system, and the way it fits into and shapes that system can and often will effect algorithmic efficiency down the line.

It's a useful skill to apply first principles to everything you encounter in life. Not just scientific principles, but moral and emotional principles, too.

Interesting if you can get a bug bounty for reporting this. I think if an enterprising bounty hunter heard about that, a bunch of anonymously authored extensions might start mysteriously appearing. It might pay better than building web apps for people on upwork.
You're right, dispassionately citing relevant metrics and sources to make a set of points is far less impressive than complaining about being out-argued. We should all aspire to whatever we call that style of argumentation!
I don't like the part where Elon Musk is saying that "isn't it a shame" that the Egyptians' pyramids and the Romans' aqueducts were highlights of science and engineering, and that the skills to create them atrophied or were forgotten.

I'm kind of glad that we don't do things like trying to replicate the glory of the pyramids if it's true that they required masses upon masses of slave labor to build them. Similarly for the aqueducts (I don't know if slave labor was used to build them, and a Wikipedia search didn't yield anything useful).

In section 4 "Experimental Section", which is oddly behind section 3 "Conclusions", you will find that unless protected by a layer of paint, the material is severely weakened by humidity and subject to swelling and deformation when soaked with water.
Dang, I’d say it’s relevant because the actual article contains complaints from Wolfram as well as bashing the concept peer reviews.

There’s a similar issue with the ABC conjecture proof. You just can’t dump your magnus opus on the scientific academic community and then expect everyone to realize your genius and rubber stamp it.

Peer review is at the core of science. Whatever value Wolfram’s theory has, until it can move from backpatching and curve fitting into making testable predictions, then it will, like string theory, remain in the realm of pure mathematical model and as you may know there’s a nigh infinite number of parameterizable models you can fit, but if they don’t make any new predictions, there’s no reason to adopt them.

That's already a technical solution to this problem.

I've seen startups which appear to be meetup alternatives as well.
I'm almost certain this already exists under a different name, like a columnar sort or something. Can't be bothered to Google on mobile, but this is 100000% not novel

Backups are an essential part of the solution. However, for this case, one also needs the infrastructure, on isolated standby, to automatically revert every impacted device asap to stop the bleeding.

Didn't a company with backups recently pay because they realized restoring would take months?
The book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us (2003), based on studies done at MIT and other universities, argues that human motivation is largely intrinsic - meaning, beyond external rewards - and is characterized by:

- Autonomy — Our desire to be self directed.

- Mastery — The urge to get better skills.

- Purpose — The desire to do something that has meaning and is important.

They seem to map one-for-one with your list above.
> But the most basic, predominate mechanism is that you're literally burning carbon and exhaling CO2.

Well, again, you're burning oil (or if you're starving, meat), not carbon. It's mostly carbon by mass, but not by molarity.
> import a url

Or at least have a strong convention that all project namespaces be url-like. That's what Java did decades ago, and it remains one of the ecosystems which care the most about traceability.

Sure, the actual url may drift from the namespace, but at least you've got a much more google-able starting point than "lxml" or whatever.

Waiting for the first pull request to rewrite all "Merged from 'master" commits because we can't have this in our repository history.
Yeah, that's basically how it works. But the local non-profit organization doing that work and getting grants and the like is where I applied for a job, wasn't hired and then got crapped all over for about two years by the guy they did hire. It was completely unnecessary to make me his enemy because I was happy to help as a volunteer.

Since I am not going to get that job, I am trying to figure out how to do this on my own and make enough money at it to make it worth my while, knowing that the guy who got the job I applied for is likely to continue stealing anything I publish on the internet that he can use to pretend to do his job.

I have set up a reddit site called r/CoastalWA. This area is making national news as a relative safe haven in the face of things like climate change, but it's all small towns and unincorporated communities. So these are places that don't have a lot of funds to spend and anyone really talented tends to get a better paying job in a bigger city elsewhere. (The town I lived in interviewed a city manager candidate, offered them the job and they went elsewhere for more money.)

I have a background in doing volunteer work and my target market is people without a lot of resources, but I think it is important work. And any business has some stuff they give away for free -- even the multi-billion dollar business Y Combinator, which provides HN for free.

I kind of want to do what Y Combinator has done, only for small town and unincorporated communities and for mostly small businesses and micro businesses. So I can't use a VC model like they are using.

But if no one does this work, then outsiders with money will just come in here, buy up cheap land and piss all over everything.

I don't want to set up a non-profit. I would rather tun this as a sole proprietor and give away a lot for free on my website plus offer paid services and try to get it crowd funded by people willing and able to give a few bucks a month to a Patreon or whatever, but unable to pay the big salaries for a full-time local planner or the big fees for someone doing significant work on a contract basis.

I am still working out the details in my mind.

Thank you for engaging me! It is always good to have something to chew on or reply to. It helps me think!
I didn't mention culture at all. I'm not sure how you would define culture in this context and to what degree that is measurable.

Instead, I would point out various socio-economic factors, such as Sweden having a higher rate of ethnic minorities (generally over-represented in COVID-19), Norway's GDP being far higher than the others (thanks to fossil fuel) and Sweden having a far greater population in elderly care institutions, compared to Finland.

A great deal of the deaths in Sweden come from nursing homes, where you had the situation that caregivers would travel from one institution to the next, spreading the virus.

Presumably the school district doesn't really care about its students' PII being released. I mean, they might feel a bit bad, and all else being equal they'd prefer not to have it released, but no one's going to lose their jobs or their funding just for that.

So the enforcement mechanism here has to be through the courts: some student or students will sue the district for negligence. Paying out millions of dollars in legal settlements is something the district will care about, and might cost someone their job, so it's a good stick for the hackers to use if the district would lose such a lawsuit.

What's the case law like here? Are they likely to lose?
I have one that I had on my keyring for over a year, including during a swim in the ocean (I forgot I had it on me). It still works. Perhaps you got a bad batch?
> ''libz'' is simply incorrect.

Well, you'd better tell the zlib maintainers to change `make install` to stop installing it as `/usr/local/lib/libz.so.1` by default, if "libz" is simply incorrect.

Less facetiously: the way Debian names library packages is that if it installs "{LIBDIR}/lib{NAME}.so.{SOVER}", then the package name is "lib{NAME}g{SOVER}", regardless of what the "project name" is.
$20 says they already have a deal with Verizon/Spectrum/whatever to use those customer login protected open wifi APs as backhaul when an internet connection is not otherwise available. Considering how much they're leaning on customer PII to subsidize the cost of TVs, I wouldn't be surprised if they start putting 5G radios in them too.

Superstring theory is considered a branch of physics but it's in a similar position (not saying there's anything of value in the wolfram article, just saying sometimes purely theoretical frameworks can be called physics even though they have not reached a predictive or even postdictive state yet)
