> Why do you think there is a lack of political will?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say because getting countries as diverse as the US, China and Saudi Arabia to consent to shutting down the industrialised world and people to accept not having nice things is incredibly difficult, and carbon capture solutions which might be more politically palatable are less proven plays a bigger role in the climate continuing to change than politicians not taking psychedelic drugs.
Hm reminds me of a traumatic but illuminating acid trip and the continual guessing about "physical brain damage".

Has anyone with natural psychosis also had simultaneous acid induced psychosis, and if so what happened?
Sorry, can you clarify what you mean by the west coast American view of the world?
Thanks. Stay tuned, a lot is coming soon
The self-reported positive effects hallucinogens are awful.

They alter your perception so your perception of perceived benefits is unreliable, and anyone who's not tripping can tell you that. I mean, with full doses the reported benefits are things like connecting with the thread of the universe and speaking across planes to dimensional beings that inform you that we're all one, but the word fractal is jammed in there somewhere. I'm not saying these people can't have fun, but pulling THAT experience back to just reduced levels of the drug is probably still going to give terrible accuracy for self reported results.

Microdosing reminds me of those people who left high school parties saying it was fine because they drive better drunk, or that they took some coke to balance it out.
Curious as to why you say the watch is a hassle to charge all the time. I guess if you sleep with it that’s a valid concern. I don’t and so I have to take it off anyway - so it’s not a big deal to just place it on the charger next to my bed and grab it first thing in the morning. The magnetic ‘clickiness’ of the desktop dock is nice and very smooth to drop on and take off.
As soon as I put my pen to the surface and made a big sweeping movement, it popped up five or ten alerts in a row, all reading “please, draw slowly”, and broke (the socket disconnected and stayed disconnected). Um. When I drew things small, this didn’t happen, but it was as badly broken as Browserboard in that it wasn’t registering the first (and maybe last?) short time of each stroke, which makes it completely useless for writing. So, total failure of #1, and #2 and #3 seem inapplicable by design so I can’t judge them. But I’m not in the slightest bit impressed with this, functionally.
Isn't flamebait not allowed here?
Can you please provide some sources for this info?
I was a bored 13 year old in the mid-90s who had spent too much time reading old issues of Phrack and C programming manuals. Linux represented a big, mysterious system and I had nothing but time. I got a job working at Erol's Internet when I was 14 and met some other (older) nerds there who were willing to let me tag along to 2600 meetings (and occasionally, raves) in Arlington and DC. I was active on bbs.l0pht.com and english.gh0st.net, and the folks I met on those boards genuinely helped point me in the right direction.

Eventually my interests shifted and I finally misspent my youth in my early 20s. Pushing 40 now and Linux and programming doesn't feel all that mysterious or exploratory or new any more, but it pays the bills. I wish I could recapture that feeling of rebellion, revolution, or of doing something new. I know though that it's just me who has changed.
Br'er Rabbit, like Rabinovich in soviet jokes, is often worthy of emulation.

Was it Br'er Rabbit or a cousin (or maybe even El-ahrairah himself?) who convinced the Greedy Lion to attack his own reflection in the well?

And at least one Weatherspoons (chain pub). Sad when that one shut down - though it's possible the new multiplex had the same owners.
and yet there's nothing on the anniversary of the Las Vegas shooting this year (most likely because the media needs to memory hole what was really a failed assassination attempt)
The problem with psychedelics is they only make you "more" of what you are. It's the spotlighting effect multiplied. Especially when "bad" people take them they just become even more of an asshole, or dare I say when stupid people take them they just revel in the intoxication.

You just have to read the old research literature on LSD like stuff from James Fadiman to understand that these are extremely dangerous substances that can cause trauma and other serious psychological problems if not used extremely specifically and carefully. If a subject is carefully prepared and trained in the weeks leading up to a trip, then carefully guided through by a psychologist in a 3 day process, then psychedelics have been proven in studies to be used to solve problems effectively. This isn't something you can do on your own.

It's this bizarre problem of we've been lied to for so long about the dangers of these drugs that the actual dangers get buried and nobody talks about the very real possibility of having PTSD flashbacks for the rest of your life to a moment when you were tripping then you start tripping again and have to run for your serquel.
In my case, looking back, I think I have already lived through a handful of episodes of lower but still damaging intensity. I first really started recognizing this pattern when I had this sort of episode where it became clear to each and every person around you, that there is something off. It was like I was on cocaine 24/7, paired with extreme paranoia (I moved to a rather bad neighborhood in a big city two years before).

Ever since this initial awareness and diagnosis, I have stepped back from a lot of people, and many stepped away from me. I was left in a void where I had basically I social interaction.

While it was extremely depressing I have the feeling, at least in my case, that less communication can help to find a manageable state. Today it’s easier for me to manage, although still not perfect. I declined any medical treatment except for one dose of Haloperidol which I agreed to after I had freaked out and the police had to tie me down and send me to psychiatry. (As it happened I accidentally ran into a drug handover in the midst of my mania, I was afraid to die and started losing it completely)

Nobody really understands the hurricane of feelings one is going through, it doesn’t really make sense to try and explain it to people.
I agree it's going to change. Overprovisioning of renewables is going to be necessary if we're going to rely on them alone, and long term I am excited about hydrogen.

But parent's link didn't really back up their claims, and concerns about capital efficiency for infrequently used plants are valid.
Bought the full version and played it for a good few hours - lovely game!

After a while it did feel slightly too similar to work though (programming), as once you unlock copy pasting of structures it's really all about optimising. Still some good fun, and definitely worth the price :)
Is there a sharp line between drug and food?
I'm working in formal ethics, mostly on formal aspects of value structure, and agree with you. This article is a hodgepodge of many different ideas, some of them interesting, others a bit naive, and has almost nothing to do with formal models for ethics. There is plenty of research in formal ethics such as deontic logics, abstract argumentation frameworks for preferences and norms, nonmonotonic logics for value-based reasoning, normative systems, input/output logics and formal axiology.

One thing that the author does not address in enough detail is the simple fact that there are many different ethical traditions that come to different conclusions about particular normative issues, and that there are plenty of authors in ethics who (still) consider their business a normative one. A "bottom up" machine-learning based approach to this would invariably fail and miss the whole point. There are some ethicists who consider it mostly a descriptive endeavor - Schopenhauer was one of the first, for example -, but they are in a minority.

As long as experts in ethics cannot agree what the "right" ethics is, it's hard to see how we would be able to teach it to machines. Many meta-ethicists including me would even deny that there can be an "expert" about moral and particularly about ethical questions at all. However, I have no doubts that various robotics companies will implement those ethical rules and approaches that best serves their interests as companies.

That's why I think robot ethics is kind of misguided. What we need is laws that regulate AI and put its use into a legal framework and closes loopholes. This is a political, not just an ethical issue.
>It couldn't keep up with my writing and made a mess of it.

Could it be because of their feature called "shape detection"? It's on by default, you can turn it off in the menu.
Its a lack which manifests through an entire generation. Probably because movies are at the intersection of big money and expressive art. So revision of classics becomes status quo. Theres a good word to describe it : DECLINE.

It's fundamentalism. Steven pressfield says it best. We cant find our way into the future so we retreat to the mystical 'golden age'...there are people pitching to remake Bambi - with a straight face. Why? Is there no new story to tell? No new classics to be written?
I read many subreddits. It’s my strong impression that most of the mainstream subs (which make up a vast majority of the userbase) are filled with questionable accounts.
If I cared to waste my time doing so, I could find plenty of objectionable comments in just about any Reddit sub. You seem to believe tough conversations about whether Muslim culture is compatible with Western culture, or whether the US should begin mass deportations of illegal aliens should not occur. I’d have to disagree with you there. If we can’t discuss complex topics like this on the internet, then where can we discuss them?

You’re really not very good at gaslighting.
You're assuming that current content doesn't tend to drive out the older content. Piracy works a lot better for popular new material than for obscure older material. (The Simpsons is popular enough that this may not apply but torrents don't work very well for mostly obscure works.)
I thought Enchanted did a reasonable job, but may be from an out-of-touch generation.

Ask HN: How to sell my product under a grey label
Hello hackers, here is the context around my question.

A cloud provider want to integrate my service (which I already sell as a SAAS product with my own brand) and sell it to its customer under the name (product by 'Cloud Provider' powered by 'my company').

The deal is I would get a certain percentage over the price of the server usage of the customer using my service.

How can I know if the margin (percentage) is good enough and how can I protect myself from not enough promoting my company ?

What I don't mention here is that no matter the margin, it gives me a lot exposure and make my company integrate a awesome ecosystem that will also allow me to make deal with companies I couldn't have reached otherwise, so I will do it anyway.

But I'd like advices from people who may have already done such a deal to know how I can get the most of it.

Thank you all for reading !

The freshman class at the university I’m currently attending is the largest one they have ever had.
Now, we are a more “affordable “ state university, but it’s still $6k tuition for a semester, plus many people seem to have gotten duped into paying for campus housing even though it seemed like high chance classes would end up online one way or another.
Don't comment on comments. It's against the rules and isn't constructive.

But I agree with you. Reddit is growing to be as hard-left as voat is hard-right. It's not quite there because there are still a lot of old communities before everything got political who still use Reddit (/r/MechanicalKeyboards/ and such).

But honestly, everyone needs to get off Reddit and go back to the days of phpBB forums, individual blogs and RSS feeds. Aggregation sites like HN, Reddit, etc should be where you go to promote stuff you've found though following individual you like.

I was interested with computers since first contact in 1982. I had an MSX from 1985 on which I learned BASIC, then wrote my own assembler (because commercial ones were too expensive).

Some years later, having busted in University, I was an unpaid intern assistant sound engineer in the studio that recorded my band's album (we didn't sold it much). I've started working with digital audio (Sound Designer II, anyone? then Opcode Studio Vision).

At some point for some reason the studio started contracting development work. We were supposed to do the sound design and music for some interactive touch-screen kiosk systems (around 1994), and for some reason (maybe some failed contractor) we finally took care of the whole development, using Scala (not the same as today's Scala, but some sort of Macromedia Director predecessor) on Amiga machines, which I did.

Then I had my first contact with Unix when we developed an Interactive Voice Response program (those were all the rage in the mid 90s). We did the audio part, then the programming itself. It was running on a SCO Unix machine (1995) and the logic used some sort of weird BASIC.

Fast forward to 1996. I was working in TV still as an assistant sound engineer (but paid, this time). I discovered SGI IRIX and fell in love at first sight. I then installed Slackware Linux 2.x on a spare PC found at work.
Ozric Tentacles for me. With the exception of two songs that I can think of in their 30-album catalog, there are no vocalizations. Just trippy psychedelic space rock. It may not work for everyone, but it puts me in the zone and I can code without lyrical distraction.
> They did it because they felt the needed to, to support use cases like CI for macOS and iOS apps

Actually, the Xserve platform really had nothing to do with that. Xserve’s were partly designed and built for the high end video production industry (as an extension of the Mac Pro hardware) and partly as a general purpose small to medium size business file server / web server (which the Mac Mini has subsumed what’s left of that space).

In general, ethernet doesn't do collision detect now - practically every wired ethernet goes from a machine to a switch on a full duplex link, with the switch having buffers to cope with collisions - worst case the second packet is discarded, no need to back off at a random interval.

Does wireless ethernet have CSMA/CD, or is it some better time based protocol?
Maybe because middle class left to suburbs leaving mostly ghettos in the cities thus depriving them of them main source of income, the property tax?

In this case, the problem will fix itself, because suburbs are the Cold War creation, they can be seen as a compulsory wartime measure. Provided that relationship with China will not reach Cold War standoff levels, they will cease to exist by themselves, because modern people really don't want to live in them.
'Learn from home' works very well. College is not about learning, but being among a wide range of people in their prime looking for mates, though. I am not sure we have entirely figured out how to replicate that at home.
But Western Europe (EU) has the benefit of temporarily importing cheap East European (Romania, Poland etc) under skilled workers to do the heavy lifting.
I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but governments (all of which eventually become corrupt and oppressive) take their citizens more seriously when they are armed. And governments taking their citizens seriously typically results in more freedom. I know Ill get downvotes on this platform for this opinion but thats how I feel about it.

This is unbelievably adept. It's weird how understanding this concept is like a virus for your mind, that once you see it, reframes everything else. It happened for me and it clearly happened for this author.

Not really...

I mean, in theory, democracy ensures that inefficient leaders lose office, except that reality rarely lives up to theory.

IRL, the business models of most major tech companies are pretty impervious to most inefficiency. Most of their leadership is beyond the reach of shareholder discipline too. Monopoly makes a good moat.

Banks aren't accountable for their own losses. How many more examples do we need? Large company bankruptcies are a rarity, and when they do happen (eg american airlines) the resulting mess just enforces the bailouts mentality. Dealing with them is an exercise in kafkaesque patience and it is impossible to work out where their mindless bureaucracy starts and regulation begins.

In 2020, an anti-bureaucracy worldview that sees the dividing line as public/private is foolishly anachronistic.

Sure "some" mechanism exists for them to go out of business. That's about as useful as the ballot for creating efficiency.

It can be done well. I've used one (I forget the brand - possibly Electrolux) with a wheel that does have haptic feedback on every tick and is actually very nice to use. As the absolute value increases, the increment for every tick also increases in a way that feels natural to me, so you don't have to turn it as much as you would an analog wheel for the same precision .

I'm not talking about everyone moving to the country, I'm talking about bringing localized infrastructure to suburban sprawl. I doubt that would work in high density urban areas, but why could it not work in suburbs where every house is sitting on a 60x120ft lot?

Its those areas that the article describes as the expensive areas because everything is so spread out.

It's extremely rare. Ask yourself how many companies from the 20th century are now defunct vs government programs (or governments in general).

You can probably count on one hand the number of governments that have "gone out of business" (so to speak), in the last 40-50 years. You'll need several people to tabulate the set of private enterprises that have gone bankrupt, defunct, or M&A'd out of existence over the same timespan, in the US alone.

My dad handed me a 2x4" newspaper cutout about this 'Linux' thing back around 1997.

I was already messing with computers and Windows around then as I was starting university, and from then it became a hobby, area of study, career. I've gone from running Linux servers to describing them in Cloudformation definitions! Still using Linux on my desktop.

Made a good circle of friends from the local LUG and associated IRC channel. I met my now wife whilst she was over from abroad studying, and the channel welcomed her joining the chat when she went home for her final year. We've all known each other for 20+ years now.
