Paying someone on the OFAC list was already illegal whether ransomware was involved or not. The novelty of the circumstances don't change anything.

The novelty of the circumstances do change the futile utility of making an announcement about it, as there should be no way of knowing that a ransomware operator is on the OFAC list, and there should be no way of knowing that you paid a ransomware operator that was or was not on the OFAC list.

I don't have an opinion about your question and never addressed it and won't address it, as it is completely moot. As people adopt these technologies for more benign purposes, the peculiarity of using them "when you need to" goes away.

LSD isn’t still fully understood there, but from what I gather Psilocybin is probably a greater concern (more agonism on HT2B than LSD).

Neither show long term correlation with lower long term health outcomes (typically the reverse) but with microdosing being more prevalent and science being able to study more of this above ground, I’m hopeful we will have a better answer to this eventually.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DrugNerds/comments/2mqqww/psilocin_... - which has a ton of assumptions in it, but is very forthright with those, is one of the better analyses I’ve seen on this topic, but if there’s more out there I’d love to see it.

The gist that I’ve gathered so far is that for most people, going with a Fadiman-esque approach (2x/week dosing), combined with anecdotal data gathered from researchers conducting surveys, seems to suggest that it’s not egregiously unsafe, at the least. But still certainly worth paying attention to - a big part of the reason I cycle in and out of microdosing - it’s too helpful for depression, anxiety and disconnection to abandon completely, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Not even remotely true. COBOL programming is very, very badly paid.

COOL (for C Object Oriented Language) was the internal Microsoft name for what would become C#.

The jokes I heard were about ADD 1 TO COBOL GIVING COBOL, following the convention established by C++.

Recent versions of the COBOL standard, like Fortran and Ada, include object-oriented extensions.
Google translated article https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&...
I know it's used in banks in some countries in Latin America, where the COBOL codebase is old, decrepit, and stinks. It's a career dead-end (tech-wise at least; money-wise it can be smart[1]) to get a job in COBOL as used in banks.

[1] Though, to be honest, the claim that you should learn COBOL because there's a shortage of programmers and it pays well is not particularly true. Nobody I know of is making big money with COBOL. It's mostly an average-paying, uninteresting programming job. You'll probably make money by climbing through the ranks within the bank organization, where your COBOL skills will become slowly irrelevant.
Last I checked the dependency management there is pretty basic. Also you have the additional problem, as in my case: the software requires a JDK, how likely is it that the user already has a JDK installed without chocolatey, and if not, which one will I install (not sure if it was even possible to say "any JDK between version X and Y").
Sorry -- it's in my original question, from the statute (here https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/29/801.2)

"The term lie detector means a polygraph, deceptograph, voice stress analyzer, psychological stress evaluator, or any other similar device (whether mechanical or electrical) that is used, or the results of which are used, for the purpose of rendering a diagnostic opinion regarding the honesty or dishonesty of an individual. Voice stress analyzers, or psychological stress evaluators, include any systems that utilize voice stress analysis, whether or not an opinion on honesty or dishonesty is specifically rendered"
It's cheaper, but not by much. I checked apple's canadian and US site, and iPhone 12 128GB unlocked is only ~$40 cheaper when factoring in currency rates. That advantage probably evaporates once you factor in currency conversion costs, customs brokerage costs, and shipping costs.
There is no simple way to do this when using Kubernetes. NLB provisioned via Kubernetes will use instance mode, and you cannot change that, and aws-alb-ingress-controller doesn't support NLBs.

So for attentiveness and anxiety, the 5 and 20 mcg doses both had a statistically significant effect vs. placebo, but the 10 mcg dose didn't. Should that lead me to believe that there's really a dose-response curve with two peaks near 5 and 20 and a valley in between, or should I be wondering whether they got "lucky" finding a significant result with either the 5/20mcg doses? (P-value was <1% for the significant results.) Is the former (multiple peaks in the response curve) known to happen in other drugs?
Thanks... I've had bloody stools before, (I'm 32), but when the doctor checked, they found a fissure, which I guess was good enough for them to explain the bleeding...

Both grandfathers had colon cancer in the age before colonoscopies. One had the lower part of his colon removed, which he had to live with for decades afterwards. The recommendations for colonoscopies are not a joke or get-rich scheme - they save lives.

As for this comment:

What people miss is that these treatments are invented by out of work surgeons.

The technology was actually invented by a gastroenterologist at the University of Michigan in the 1950s based on pioneering research of Narinder Singh Kapany on fiber optics. Ignoring the fact that there are very few "out of work" general surgeons, most colonoscopies are not performed by general surgeons but by trained GI specialists assisted by technicians and specialized equipment.

I don't mean to give that impression at all. Looking through this paper it looks like quite legitimate, thoughtful research, and the fact that they used Dynata certainly doesn't impugn their motivations. As I was able to glean, Dynata is a polling firm. Their willingness to do push polling reflects badly on their ethics, but it's orthogonal to their ability to perform effective polling.

In theory, you could fix the hot exhaust problem with a mass driver.
man can dig hole. while digging one hole he finds two holes. he Diggs the one hole till he finds the bottom. climbs up to where he found the two the proceeds down the other hole. till he finds two more holes and then digs to the bottom of the first hole he finds until he hits bottom there. he descends until he hits bottom or digs through the earth. one hole at a time.

the digging is just the way your language constructs itself into different elements spread out like directories and sub-directories.
A couple observations:

1. Peertube and other fediverse software are examples of living AGPL projects. In recent weeks there was some discussion on this license, and people claiming "no one would want to contribute".

My thinking is that AGPL today is where GPL was, I dunno, 20 years ago in terms of attitude of the industry (not friendly) and significance to the user (actual suppression of user-hostile behavior... of course as much as this software is practically usable). I'm no free software fundamentalist myself, but I recognize this. The shift is related to the changes in how software is distributed.

2. Many discussions of PeerTube viability seem to assume the "content creator" system created, to a large extent intentionally, by YouTube. This system changed over the years, but relies on people pumping out similarly-formatted videos in regular intervals. The people are driven by hope of accomplishing scale where they can support themselves with Patreon and maybe YT ads (though I hear these are less lucrative and important nowadays).

On PeerTube there is no scale as of now, so the realistic model of usage, I imagine, would be more like early YouTube. Funny and interesting videos (not quasi-TV shows), one-off tutorials, archiving, short animation etc., without hoping for making it a full-time job.

3. Lately YouTube have begun constantly pestering (at least when you have some cookie-deleting scheme?) to accept their all-Google terms, and to log in, every every time. I think it started in the late summer, used to be way more lenient. I'm assuming at least the terms thing is related to GDPR: to that extent I'm okay with reminding me what I'm doing to myself by exposing myself to Google. This may be a nudge to start using PeerTube in some capacity, certainly pushed me to peruse archive.org more.
Yup. It's actually remarkable to me that the Brazilian government continues to add these taxes that, last I checked, were highest in the world.

The original justification was that it would spur domestic manufacture of computers, consoles, laptops, etc.

Obviously that hasn't happened. All it's done is make anything involving computing ridiculously expensive.

I truly don't understand why there isn't democratic pressure to repeal the insane import duties on electronics. It's like most people in Brazil have just accepted that's how domestic prices are without really questioning it. I don't get it.

they could fix the problem by assigning each NLB AZ IP an aliased IP on your target machine. however, this would be an absolute mess to configure.

For example if the 3 NLB AZ IPs were:

1.2.3.6
1.2.3.7
1.2.3.8

then if you set up 3 IP aliases on your target instance:

192.168.2.6
192.168.2.7
192.168.2.8

then if the NLB always mapped:

1.2.3.6 -> 192.168.2.6
1.2.3.7 -> 192.168.2.7
1.2.3.8 -> 192.168.2.8

then there would be no clashes.

Colonoscopies aren't quite general anesthesia in the US (generally, I'm sure there are exceptions). General anesthesia as being completely unresponsive to external stimuli and potentially needing supportive measures to make sure you maintain your airway.

What they tend to do is "conscious sedation". Basically load you up with a sedative and painkiller - midazolam and fentanyl as an example. You're not completely out of it, you can breath on your own and will show some response to stimuli. But you won't remember any of it due to the amnesia from the sedative.
So the author says Weber's claim that protestant theology leads to good work ethic is 'marshmellow soft' without once refuting any actual point Weber makes about said theology. He instead makes the equally vague claim that religious texts can be interpreted in any way. This is naive for two reasons:

1. It implies that theological texts can't give any clearly definable meaning. This means that the Quran and the New Testament are essentially equivalent in terms of their impact on society. He needs to present me more evidence than he did in backing up this very strong claim.

2. It implies that there is a single predominant factor in explaining group behavior. This is a fallacy of the single cause. Sure, group-think plays a part. However, it would be very hasty to say that theology doesn't play a part as well in forming that group-think in the first place.

The Puritans had a view of theology very very different from the Catholics. They believed that their salvation was fundamentally God's choice (Calvinism) instead of their own (Arminianism). You might make the point that this refutes point 1. above, except that this 'theology' didn't come out of thin air, it came from a very literal reading of the New Testament (Romans 8:29-30 for example). This theology - particularly the doctrine of total depravity coupled with predestination - has practical implications on how one would craft the _policy_ of new institutions. This in turn necessarily trickles down into freedoms, human rights, and finally economics. The burden of proof is on the author of this article to explain how this set of beliefs (let alone Weber) are not hugely impactful on traditional western values.
Prices of electronics are insane in Brazil. I'm Polish, so we don't have as cheap electronics as US does, but still. I tried to find a laptop for my Brazilian friend and the prices were often double the prices of here too. Not only that, but they were the older models, e.g. a laptop here with SSD and GTX 1650 would have HDD and GTX 1050 there for twice the price.
Multiple rendering engines are probably a good thing in the long term for the web, and arguably losing other technology that Mozilla has worked on like Rust would be a big loss if Mozilla couldn't be as competitive as it has been.

I'm not so sure weaponizing privacy against Google by breaking a good amount of websites embedding Youtube videos is really the best way to get market share though, so by that metric, Google losing would hopefully mean Mozilla could work just as well as other browsers by default and actually gain market share.

>won't it end like 2012 Reddit full of racist and paedophile instances?

There is only one Reddit instance. Subreddits may have quasi-independent moderation (Reddit admins can always intervene if not doing so would cause bigger PR problems than they're willing to ignore or deal with in other ways) but there's no real way for one subreddit to disassociate with other subreddits.

PeerTube (or Mastodon or PixelFed or Lemmy) instances can disassociate from other instances that have incompatible moderation practices, though. Either through allowlisting or denylisting depending on the operators' risk models.

Using Mastodon as a case study: Gab tried to pivot to ActivityPub-based software (I think Mastodon) and yet they were denied the ability to federate with most instances because it's a deeply toxic community.

>Isn't frequent LSD usage not good for the heart? Surprised there's nothing mentioned about it.

IIRC (I haven't done LSD since 1987, although I used it quite a bit before then), it's not so much that LSD has an impact on the heart, it's the speed (methamphetamine) that's often added to LSD that can negatively impact heart function.

In fact, I don't recall any issues with tachycardia when using "clean" LSD, while that wasn't unusual on LSD with speed.

I'd add that negative interactions while under the influence of LSD (i.e., 'bad' trip) can certainly cause some tachycardia, as that circumstance can cause anxiety and fear.

However, as long as one remains in a supportive, positive atmosphere, that's generally not an issue.

I did a cursory look around and found this study[0] from July 2020 which did mention tachycardia in passing, but notes that:

"LSD use can lead to hypothermia, piloerection, tachycardia with palpitation, an elevation of blood pressure, and hyperglycemia.

The autonomic reactions listed above are not as significant as the mental and behavioral effects of LSD on the body."

However, it's not clear whether those responses were observed or self-reported. This is important since, as I mentioned, LSD is often (by those vending it, rather than end users) "enhanced" with methamphetamine and it's also unclear whether or not such responses are limited to 'bad trips' or not.

All that said, my experience is (obviously) anecdotal.

If there are other studies (sadly, since LSD is a Schedule 1[1] substance, studying its effects is rare, at least in the US) with more direct observations, I'd love to see them.
