This is one issue that breaks my heart more than almost any other. I never saw a truly dark sky or the milky way until I was in my early 30s. Now I take regular road trips out west to experience it.

People are so oblivious to light pollution. They don't realize how absurdly bright our lights are and how little they're actually needed. At minimum, they shouldn't be lighting the undersides of airplanes.

I didn't know what else I could do about this, so I inserted a light pollution level in my indie game. You have to replace these hideously bright outdoor lamps with full cutoff fixtures to gradually get the stars back. I wish there was more I could do.

The problem has to be educational. If the public valued the night sky, they would be amenable to fixing it. But how do you accomplish that if you're not any good at marketing or communicating?
Definitely true. In my experience taking mushrooms when in a depressed state was transformative. My experience taking them when I’m doing well is that they tend to make me question parts of myself or society that I truly believe are useful and good. For instance, after a trip I found myself terrified of driving a car for an entire week, and I’m still somewhat uncomfortable with driving years later.
Sure. But it’s rather believable from a community that for years had made a hobby of losing money in ingenious ways.
Without making light of your experience, the behavior you witnessed is simply not possible to induce with the dosing range used by licensed ketamine treatment clinics. So yes, too much of a good thing is bad.

Ketamine clinics use doses much lower than that which is used for general anesthesia, and ketamine is used for general anesthesia all over the world on a daily basis. It's on the World Health Organization's Essential Medicines List and has a very safe 50+ year track record.
I dont think you understand how insurance works in the states. If you get in an accident unless the other driver admits fault insurance companies negotiate and settle. If you aren't an insurance company they will stick you for the whole cost or the cost of litigation and time wasted will far out weigh the benefits of not buying insurance. Only time it makes sense to not insure is when you car value is close to the deductible.
The narrative isn't "fake." The worst you could say is it's an oversimplification of the forces and systems at play, and if you've watched any of Curtis's films you'll know that even the simplification is quite complex.

You can clearly see that the price was going to infinity because there weren't enough sellers. This absolutely ruins anyone underwriting options because they now have to immediately cover all outstanding calls at whatever the ask is.

This is what r/wallstreetbets was after. Forcing people to buy at $1000+. Robinhood should've had collateral for people buying stock in all cash. If they don't they are basically a busted bank, and they cheated all GME holders.
The position of the Wayland project is that security isolation requires sandboxing. Otherwise, applications can do whatever you can do, including changing all your personal config files and scripts.

The security considerations in Wayland are primarily aimed at not being a weak link undermining sandboxing efforts, which is the case with X11.

Without sandboxing, writing to e.g. ~/.profile would in most cases be enough for a malicious application to take over the machine. Equivalents apply to all platforms.
That's a textbook example of the logical fallacy commonly known as the slippery slope.

There is a lot of context missing in articles written like this, which mostly parrot the talking points of elements of the Indian media which support the Congress Party.

India is not starting at the same place as Western democracies. You know about the scare tactics by some fringe right wing US politicians talking about how people want Sharia in the US. This is reality in India. There is a different set of civil laws depending on your religion. If you are a Muslim man, you can marry up to 4 women without the consent of any existing women you are married to. You can divorce a woman simply by saying the word "Talaq" 3 times etc. This was supposedly done because people should have the freedom to do whatever they wanted to do. In reality it basically gave Muslim preachers, who in offered to deliver banks of votes, enormous power and allowed them to subjugate women.

The same people calling the current government Hindu Nationalists created this state of affairs when they were in power. The Supreme Court tried to fix this state of affairs. Google the Shah Bano case in India. And old woman was divorced by a man who already had four wives who wanted to marry a younger wife. Under the civil laws governing Muslims based on Sharia, after having lived her whole life as a middle class woman she was left completely destitute because she was owed essentially no alimony and had no rights to any property. The Supreme Court weighed in and reversed this, but on statutory not constitutional grounds. The Congress (a political party) government called a special session of Parliament to pass a law that reversed this because the Muslim preachers who hated this insisted that they do so or they would not deliver the votes they would otherwise deliver. These are literally the same set of characters who are now complaining about the BJP government.

The BJP is slowly reversing this and creating a situation where people are treated as Indians, not Hindus or Muslims. So long as you believe female Muslims and those Muslims who want to live in the 21st century count, the majority of Muslims support this and support the current BJP government. Of course, the Muslim preachers and others who would prefer to have a medieval set of laws that allow them to exercise power hate this.

Next time you read about the Hindu Nationalist government in India subjugating Muslims, remember the majority of Muslims have voted for this government twice in a free and fair election with secret ballots. Further, this government has brought droves of female Muslims who were actually subjugated and never previously voted out of fear, to the polls. Why would a group supposedly being subjugated vote for their oppressors and against the people supposedly wanting to free them of the oppression? There is definitely a noisy minority that hates what this government is doing because it takes power away from them.
Why are machine learning algorithms hard to tune?
Agreed, though I maintain that it's in general unclear exactly which properties the advance width is constant with respect to. (For tabular numerals, is-digit-zero-versus-one clearly is, but what about digit-versus-question-mark when writing "27'3?? items" to indicate three significant figures? What about "+" and "-", which should have the same width as each other, despite not being numerals at all? Full monospacing solves this, but that's often a stronger constraint that you actually need.)

Also, nominally monospace fonts often end up having character-dependant width anyway (ranging from blatant bugs like substiting fallback characters without forcing them to the correct size, to completely legitimate-ish variations like CJK ideographs with integer multiples of the normal character width). So, I'd still say tabular numerals are more like a weaker form of monospace than a stronger form of uniwidth - constant width across styles may or may not be relevant, but if it is, it's table stakes (no pun intended).
Oh no, I totally get your version of your 10x engineer.

For my version, your version is seen as a facade, an euphoria exaggerated because of the basic human instinct to grandiose things beyond their true impact.

If you look at any so called best engineer, their output is seldom much better than an average one, under close examination. Far from the claim of 10X. But none the less such individuals eventually garnered the title. Why? Because the impact of their invention were attributed to them far later than their original timing and more works by the normal human beings were simply ignored. We see this everyday, like Elon was touted as the real world iron man, where at the same time, he didn't even founded Tesla. How about the original Tesla founders? Even the original founders were exaggerated far beyond their own contribution anyway...
Fact:
1. Ruling party in India is affiliated to right wing called RSS. RSS has planted their cadre at public services decision making posts such as Police head etc, even Governors ( who can override a province’s elected govt), and President of India.
3. It is clearly visible protest was peaceful for 2 months, and now Govt is trying incite violence and eventually excuse to uproot it by force.
3. Democracy is now questioned as judiciary as Election commission is also under govt influence.

> Increasing one's openness to new ideas might be a good thing in the presence of a trained therapist or other well-meaning environments. However, it may become counterproductive in uncontrolled environments where users are prone to picking up conspiracy theories, new age mysticism, pseudoscience, or other misinformation that bombards us from all angles on modern social media.

I wonder, might it be possible for you to add some quantitative information to this so readers have some idea what kind of a risk profile they're dealing with here? I spend a fair amount of time in various communities, and I've never picked up on any noteworthy abnormal tendencies toward conspiracy theories or pseudoscience - plenty of new age mysticism though, and the more the merrier I say (provided it's not too far out there, of course).

> Modern news article about psychedelics skew heavily toward the positives while burying the risks and downsides.

99% of anything I've encountered in the community skews heavily toward the positives. I suppose it's possibile that all those who encounter problems disappear, never to be heard from again, but it seems fairly unlikely. Now and then you do encounter someone with symptoms of mania, but it's fairly rare, and it isn't guaranteed that their state is entirely due to psychedelics. Out of curiosity, where are you reading about all of these risks and downsides (I'd like to read up on the topic to broaden my horizons)?

As for Ram Dass, I highly recommend checking out a few of his lectures on YouTube, this article really doesn't do him justice, at all. He's not for everyone, but those who like him tend to really like him, and I am one of those.
I think one thing people are very confused by is the “all cash” part of your sentiment. If you “deposit” money with Robinhood (or any other broker) and can trade it immediately (or any timeframe less than a few days) you are not trading cash. Cash takes days to move from 1 account to another without taking on credit risk.

Similarly if you sell shares in 1 symbol and buy shares in another in less of a time frame than a few days you aren’t using cash. You are using credit (because it takes days for sales to settle).

All of that credit risk is all currently legislated to go through a few bottlenecks who have the power to enforce their own credit rules.

Analogies are dumb but it would be like if Amex called all the casinos and said “everyone has 90% less credit than they did 2 minutes ago”. If you had a roulette ball running based on your previous credit line at Amex you can bet the Casino would grab that ball. Especially if it had 200k Amex lendees in their pits.
> Without some sort of feedback loop, its going to be difficult for Mapbox to cash in on my users data.

An IDFA also collected via any other service / broker provides such a feedback loop. Location data is reasonably valuable. Mapbox also offers a navigation API; this would be behavioral data from which companies like to try to derive interest and intent.

GP subject Street Lamps / Lanterns.

Sodium vapor lights were the common lighting mode through the early 2000s and have a soft warm orange glow that was somewhat soothing.

The new LED street / parking lot lights are high color temperature 'daylight' style stadium lights, and have not had improved diffusers or reductions in effective lumen output. Many who don't have to spend time near these lights see it as an anti-crime benefit and ignore all other social costs.

It feels weird how things have changed in past 20 years. Like as child we learned not to trust anything on Internet. Or to share our own information... And then everyone started using social media and sharing everything...

Maybe we had the right thing then, if you are using your real name or connectible info keep it professional. And lot of information is false... But now it seems all that has gone away...

No one knows when or even if the squeeze will happen. It was on the verge of happening on Thursday when the DTCC raised the collateral requirements to stop retail investors from buying more shares. Now everyone is guessing it will probably happen some time next week. The signs should be pretty clear - there will be a rapid spike in the price as the squeeze snowballs.
Calling a collision or allision an "accident" is what you do because otherwise you could be admitting fault. And top-down language policing like this isn't an actual change unless people catch on. Often it takes an enormous, top-down shaming and ostracism campaign to affect a long lasting change in usage like this. Will it stick?
If you really care about cost and that is your only measure, then of course a Model 3 isn't it.

However, you can get insane deal on some EV, like the Bolt. They are not close to Tesla in terms of many things, but if you just need to everyday driving, its perfectly reasonable.
Yeah no kidding. Hopefully people caught my sarcasm. This is an area where UX design is absolutely crucial.

Qt applications are almost certainly using the output scale property, I've tried those recently. I haven't tested Chromium's wayland backend recently, but Chromium is ignoring those physical values: https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/99314be8152e688baf...

Maybe your chromium is not using the Wayland backend correctly? If a Wayland application is using the physical values to determine scaling, instead of the output scale, that's a bug and you probably should consider reporting it. It's probably a mistake that the physical size information is there, it's unreliable as you have seen.

Edit: Rather than messing around with proxies, if you want to do a quick test to confirm, you could simply hack wlroots here to send a constant value: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/blob/b3e76d667855c16e97a4d...
Are you genuinely surprised that a grey haired lawyer might get caught flat footed by the shenanigans of an out-of-control Reddit channel?

Don't get me wrong, there are definitely people in the 65+ club who understand tech. But frequently older people don't, even older people who were near tech. And in particular many of them don't get communities like Reddit.

I don't think a lot of people could have predicted that tens of thousands of retail investors would flash mob an out of favor stock to bust a hedge fund's short position. The chances that a 65 year old lawyer would see that coming? Seems pretty unlikely.
If you don't live in the USA be sure to go into the settings as there are a number of defaults which may not match your life.

For me, at least, the price of petrol is about 2.5 what the default is and the default yearly distance driven is at least twice what I would do .

As far as I can tell the vehicle sticker prices in the US are about 0.6 to 0.8 what they would be here but you can't change that within the model anyway.
Granting that this privilege exists, why is that seen as something to be taken away, rather than expanded and guaranteed to everyone?

> copy it into my paste buffer

Selecting text never copies anything. Selections are just metadata that points back to the X client app that "owns" the selection and presumably also has the selected data. Selecting text simply sets the owner of the PRIMARY selection to the current X client, and "pasting" with middle click is asks the current owner of the PRIMARY selection to copy the selected data into the window targeted by the click.

From ICCCM[1]:

>> Selections communicate between an owner and a requestor. The owner has the data representing the value of its selection, and the requestor receives it. A requestor wishing to obtain the value of a selection provides the following:

The name of the selection
The name of a property
A window
The atom representing the data type required
Optionally, some parameters for the request

>> If the selection is currently owned, the owner receives an event and is expected to do the following:

Convert the contents of the selection to the requested data type
Place this data in the named property on the named window
Send the requestor an event to let it know the property is available

> If I want to keep the contents of my paste buffer, I have to force myself to remember not to highlight anything,

You're having this problem because you're using the PRIMARY selection when you should be using the CLIPBOARD selection which is more durable and intended[2] for data transfer and copy/paste-like semantics.

The Copy/Paste actions traditionally found in the "Edit" menu usually interact with the CLIPBOARD selection. This should be completely orthogonal to the middle-click feature and other interactions with the PRIMARY selection. You should be able to mix usage of both selections. Try this:

select text "foo"
use Copy from the Edit menu # CLIPBOARD now points to "foo"
select different text "bar" # PRIMARY now points to "bar"
move to an editable window
use Paste from the Edit menu # pastes "foo"
middle click the same window # pastes "bar"

Unfortunately, confusion about the X server using selections instead of a global buffer is not well explained.

(Disclaimer: not an expert) As far as I understand it, the specific thing that is problematic is that the rule discriminates by religion. The original agreement did not, and even if it did, why would you want to take a policy enacted half a century ago and implement it unchanged without revising it to be less prejudicial?

is standard graduate stochastic calculus course material. An undergrad degree in math usually specializes in a certain track: algebra or analysis. The analysis background would be a closer fit as the material is focused on the continuous applications (not HFT) and likely have covered the introductory measure and probability theory material. The finance portion focuses on the arbitrage-risk neutral model that is at least a semester worth a material.
