This is true. If I recall, when we worked on the port, we had some "checker" utilities that dumped out the struct name and size of all structures (sizeof(struct...)) on both platforms. The system was heavily based on memory mapped structs and serialization of those structs, so if a length didn't match, it was a bad sign. Fun times.
OK, honest question: How many people here actually answer polls?

I got more poll calls than I had any interest in answering. I especially had no interest in answering a push poll, from either side. The result was that I answered none of them.

Now, if we had only one outfit doing polls so that I didn't get bombarded, and if there was no such thing as push-polling, sure, I might answer their poll questions. But as it is? No. You'll find out what I think when I vote; in the meantime; go away and leave me alone. (It's amazing how much quieter my phones are today than on Monday.)
I did not find my psilocybin trip pleasurable. With the exceptions of 1) micro-dosers and 2) those that seek mind altering experiences as a lifestyle ... the studies have reinforced my personal experience: once seems to be enough. (Edited to make clear my opinion vs facts)
So people should only want things they personally like to do to be legal?

I still prefer to upload my recordings to xeno-canto; it's more focused on recordists than birders per se, it's easier to search for particular vocalization types, and I control the licensing for my own recordings. When you upload to eBird, your recordings are still yours but they are licensed through the Macaulay Library. That said, ML is doing phenomenal work so I don't mind contributing my recordings there as well.

If you look at the stats for countries where it is legalised you’ll find that abuse is not higher than in places where it is criminalised.

the researcher went ahead and created negative 5 million points and cashed out $5000. This doesn't seem responsible in the slightest.

Your statement is misleading.

By "cashed out" he transferred $5000 into another account of his at Chase. It's not like the took the money out of an ATM and spent it on hookers and blow.

Ohhhhhhh, that makes total sense.
I think this is related to the fact that you can push to GitHub as another user and make the commit appear as it is part of another repo.

After the youtube-dl event many people became aware of those "hacks" because someone used it to "upload youtube-dl into the DMCA's repo".

Since those hacks are known by GitHub but they won't fix it, someone thought that the best way to "protest" against the decition was to push GH's source into the DMCA's repo impersonating GH's CEO.

That's my theory, a protest.

edit: DMCA
Yes exactly. Sorry, didn’t realize I’d used it without providing context.

To be clear, are you saying there is a system of bullies in play?
First, agree with everything you said (and it must be frustrating to deal with poptart* psychology like this).

>but it works for an awful lot of people

I know CBT is awfully popular on HN. But it is worth reading into the stats on CBT. Even if you take them at face value, it certainly does not work for everyone. It is of course, most effective when there is a clear cause and effect, very effective with anxiety, and also generally with children in particular. But has been shown to be ineffective or even dangerous when used with certain cohorts, ie. significant trauma background, clinical mental illness including depression, psychosis etc.

There have been more studies on CBT than any other form of therapy, and those studies suffer from the same replication crisis that the rest of social science research does.

So if it is your first exposure to getting help (and don't get me wrong, it is good to try as a first response) and it doesn't work for you, it is not your fault. You are not 'treatment resistant', more just at a 'treatment deficit'. Generally speaking, if your counsellor says you are treatment resistant, it is time to get a new counsellor and maybe if it is warranted a referral in combination with other medical expert like a psychiatrist. Each case is different though, and you are always your own best expert in yourself.

*like pop psychology, but it burns your mouth.

I was quite depressed as a teenager and also took mushrooms many times. I actually think it made my depression worse over time.

I mean alcohol will greatly and quickly relieve depression while you are drunk too. That is not solving anything though.

The obvious problem with this kind of study is it is hard to see this being done by objective researchers who are not quite biased towards finding benefits of psychedelic use.
>We might actually be far happier if we reserved man/woman sex just for reproduction.

I think it'll be just the opposite.

Genetic engineering will evolve to the point where it will be irresponsible to rely on the random variation of sexual intercourse to reproduce. Instead, methods like IVF and the like will be the only way to responsibly (ethically/morally) reproduce. Sex will then be solely for pleasure/connection.

The Fall of an Empire: The Decline of ExxonMobil
Previous CMU/ETC student here - I was lucky enough to be there, and I still remember it.

I was a student at the ETC that year, and it was the first year Randy wasn't teaching, as he was sick. I hadn't met him yet, but the reverence the second-year students had for him was more than enough to convince the whole department to attend. I'm so glad I did. The values and ethics he built into the ETC made it a truly amazing place, and was great to hear his story.

As we are on a forum for startups - I sometimes think about how Randy might have been sharing his Mission/Vision/Values with us, but by other names; how his personal beliefs could be imbued into his lessons and the department itself. He did an amazing job.

Seriously - watch the video. You'll be inspired. You'll cry. You'll want to program really odd VR games just for fun :D
Yay, more e-waste!
Darkness won’t affect it. You’ll probably be able to tell either way. Microdosing probably wouldn’t make for an effective study, as it’s currently being touted as a way to increase “productivity”.
tldr; leave the family alone.

The UK lost the plot on civil rights and reasonableness in the past 10 years or so. This is only one of the recent bizarre legal changes (there was another recent one on consent being impossible to establish.)

There are so many things wrong with intruding into the home:

1) As mentioned in the article, this creates a pervasive surveillance state similar to the Stasi, where on average, there was a spy in each home in the country. The standard tip payment to inform on your relative was a pair of jeans.

2) A law like this further erodes the nuclear family as the foundation of a nation. We are already seeing the impact of that in the USA, with a rapidly increasing number of single-parent households, mainly due to family courts intervening into families. There is a tipping point where you regulate families out of existence, and we're a lot closer than you think.

(US Black leaders have warned other groups that they're on the same path to family destruction as they already followed in the past 2 generations. That should be a wake-up call for everybody.)

3) The law can be used against domestic partners in family court. Already unsubstantiated domestic violence claims are allowed, next there will be unsubstantiated racial claims?

The only way to protect yourself is to video-record all family interactions. Is that what we want?

4) Who is to decide whether a statement is hate speech or not, or what the intent is? If you ask different generations of Americans what hate speech is, you get widely varying answers that vary from things that are obvious, to simply not meeting any standard. Yet there's one law for all, despite varying personal standards.

(One of the most public examples was Ben Affleck calling Sam Harris a racist when discussing Islam on television. In fact, Islam is an ideology/religion, not a race at all. So even adults prepared for a debate can't get their viewpoint across accurately. Do we arrest all of the participants in that debate?)
Actually the takedown wasn't mandatory because (AFAIK, IANAL, etc) it wasn't actually a takedown request that GitHub received. Takedowns only apply to infringing content itself, not to tools. (Even if the tool were in violation of the DMCA it doesn't seem like the RIAA would have standing to pursue it.)

That being said, it also seems like GitHub is well within their rights to choose not to host a project accused of violating the law.

“We see this profundity and beauty in Rumi's Mathnavi”.

Those of us who can’t read Persian are blind to Rumi without translators. Literal translations into English may sound more authentic to those whose first language is Persian, but carry no poetry with them. Some of the Eastern literature Orientalist translations in the early 20th C suffered from that, and are generally ignored outside of scholarly circles.

Better to sing a beautifully inspired song well than to sing the original poorly. Bark’s remarkable popularity in the West suggests he did the former quite well.

It may be impossible to sing the “pure” original well in English...by the standards of the post author, no one has.

That sort of gatekeeping is admirable if you are fighting against cultural appropriation. That isn’t the case with most poetry in translation into English. Nobody is doing poetry slams in ghazals in the US (correct me if I’m wrong). Rumi translations in Victoria’s Secret stores? Well, at least it’s getting poetry into the hands of an audience who normally doesn’t think of poetry.

Gatekeeping in Rumi’s religious aspects is a feature in some threads of Islam that doesn’t map well into most modern Western cultures. Although the young Rumi would have supported the gatekeeping role, after his books were thrown down the well, I don’t think he would have minded Barks all that much.

His followers and commentators may still feel the need to protect Rumi with gatekeeping. But then, aren’t they (or their progeny) the ones who would have “disappeared” Shams to “protect” Rumi?

Rumi doesn’t really need such protection. He is one of the world’s great poets.

The rest of the article, I fear, will lead to arguments over semantics of “art” and “religion” that go around in circles and lead nowhere..
Not true. Github only hosts projects publicly for people who want to host their project publicly.

They don't have a mantra of all information wants to be free, and indeed their entire business model relies on hosting private repos.

I understand people wanting to host their open source on a server that's also open source. There's an argument it makes business sense if the closed source setup creates a long-term drift to GitLab or elsewhere. Nevertheless, I don't see the closed source as a contradiction.

You can love open source while producing a mix of open and closed source. Building a sustainable business often means being selective about it and seeing open source as a tool you can benefit from (enlightened self-interest), rather than an ideology you must adhere to at all times.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2948609/ is a metareview of non-drug treatment for mood disorders in adults.

However, medication is very effective especially as short term treatment or for major depression.

In terms of non-pharmaceutical medication, there is evidence supporting the use of St John's Wort:

A 2008 review of 29 international studies suggested that St. John’s wort may be better than a placebo and as effective as different standard prescription antidepressants for major depression of mild to moderate severity.

However:

St. John’s wort was no more effective than placebo in treating major depression of moderate severity, an NCCIH- and NIMH-funded study of 340 participants reported in 2002.

I feel that you are posting some very irresponsible things in the comments here in a very authoritative tone. I would kindly invite you to refrain from doing so, since I disagree strongly with your various assertions. Perhaps you can offer your views as your personal perspective rather than objective truth.

Estonia has online voting. Approximately 30% of votes are cast via that medium. There have been past concerns about the security, but they are supposedly resolved now. They use a smartcard and blockchain as part of the system. I don't remember the rest.

So if I were building a system for voting online, I would audit that system and improve on any security deficiencies.

Taking Anki out of it, it's certainly challenging to be circumspect about the things you're enthusiastic about just not mattering either to anyone or just to the specific person you're droning in about it to. Likewise if someone asks, they might just be doing so because they know it's something you're enthusiastic about, and aren't looking for your lit review on the subject.

"Oh you skateboard? I was thinking of getting into that" is now met with a meager acknowledgement and nothing more. "Can you teach me?" is now met with "No", because people just don't really give a damn and they have other stuff going on that they might not realize in the moment. Replace skateboarding with programming or anything else and you have feigned interest, so it's best to turn it around and ask them what they're into.

Bringing Anki back into it for a second, I did not have any success with Anki software or really any software. It just did not help me beyond giving me access to long lists of words. Instead, SR with written flash cards and questions seems like night and day.
Right I had to explain this to someone last time this subject came up. Illegal != immoral, take for example the Jews in Nazi Germany because it's required by the internet to invoke Nazis :) . Anyways, had cryptocurrencies existed when the some Jews were trying to escape Germany, and had those Jews moved their assets into crypto it would have certainly been illegal but that does not mean it would have been immoral. There are quite a few people in which anonymous funds not trackable by the government lends to their moral cause, though that cause may very well be illegal in their country.

They may be right when they say "is not pleasurable" - since it's not like a typical pleasure substance where it's nothing but good feelings.
