When it comes to bright outdoor lights, high fences make good neighbors. I have a neighbor that leaves their wide angle floodlights on all night in the backyard, some of which are directly pointed towards our shared fence. That is less of a problem now that I have a block wall that may(not) be just a bit too tall for local code but makes my backyard very dark.
I can't imagine it would be an effective placebo with any person who has ever had prior psychedelic experience, once enough time has passed. Perhaps in the pre-peak period where it's already kind of fuzzy when the effects start to kick in, but not anywhere near the peak
If you told me about a "freedom diet" where you only eat one thing, I'd laugh. The fact that I can technically choose not to follow the diet any day I want doesn't help.

Of course GNU can't force me to follow the decision they recommend every time, that doesn't change how their recommendations come across.
Equally related yet much less relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/790/
> If I understand it correctly, the claim is [...] that sharing personal experience is more likely to create a feeling of relational connection, which in turn is more likely to lead to a shift in position.

The last part is wrong. The authors are explicit on this point: they are not studying persuasion, i.e., changes in people's issue positions. (They never measure change in people's issue positions.) Instead, they are studying the effects of sharing factual claims vs. sharing personal experiences on respect: which strategy makes you more respected?

See especially page 3: "we leave aside the question of persuasion to focus on how best to foster respect in moral disagreements with political opponents."

The line isn't that hard to draw.

If you run a monolithic, centralized service specifically designed to avoid censorship, and you don't moderate what users do on your service, and some of those users hurt people with your service, then you should expect your service will be shut down as Parler was.

And if you do the same thing, but separate the front end from the back end, and have different entities run them to provide legal separation, while practically and functionally the result is identical to that of the monolithic centralized service and your system is used to hurt people, then you should also expect that whatever components can be deplatformed will be deplatformed.
I’m genuinely curious why this comment is receiving downvotes. China becoming the world’s economic power by mid-century has been my set assumption for years. Has something changed with this expectation?
The Center for Transformational Psychotherapy in SF leverages ketamine as part of their treatment, to good effect. Hopefully continued use and research will continue to mainstream its use (when appropriate).

Did not say RH should get a free pass here. Or some kind of herd immunity because it's a company. I said it was most likely a fuck-up. There can and should be repercussions when you screw up and it hurts other people.
The AI company in question was “Ever” which apparently gave the users the option to opt out of their photos used for AI training - and then used photos for training even if users opted out. The problem was deception, not AI itself.

Unfortunately the companies would probably make a wrong conclusion here: don’t offer people opportunities to opt out of specific things, instead force them to accept blanket statements like “your photos will be anonymously used for the product development and enhancement by this and affiliated companies”. It’s not like people read EULAs very carefully.

I think it's much more likely that insurance companies have the long-developed expertise to assess the risks and actual claims experience of insuring whatever it is they insure. It's the primary thing that allows them to earn a profit. And so if they all think that Teslas are higher risks, they are probably right.
It's sad that race is being blamed by those claiming to be against racism.

My benefits, as said before, are being American - and I embrace those benefits. Nothing to be ashamed of.

"life on the other side" I refuse to treat others as less because of their skin color. You might be racist but I'm not. I'm surrounded by successful people of all color (and sexs, religions, lifestyles, etc) who don't cry victimhood.

You will continue to be either a victim or treating "POC" as victims who aren't smart enough or good enough - IE treating people different based on their skin color. (IE: Liberals talk down to POC because they look down on them. You might want to check YOUR "priviledge" and how you treat others - https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/11/30/white-liber...)

I refuse to treat minorities as if they aren't good enough... society shows that is a lie and, as I was raised, treating people differently based on skin color is racism.

You may be okay being a racist... I refuse to be one.

> How do you figure? There are systems already (like Wayland) where default access to input only gives you input when the app is active, and entire different process is required for global hotkeys or key logging.

So long you be willing to live with a walled garden environment where one's text editor either can't edit the files on one's system any more, or is given sufficient permissions to circumvent all of this regardless.

> uh, what? no. giving a browser access only to "~/Downloads" will work great and will make it much more secure.

It would also mean that no modern browser works any more since they need access to far more to even start up.

You should `strace` a browser and be surprised that it constantly needs to read and write files from all over the system.

I would also be rather annoyed with a browser that can only save files in one folder rather than wherever it please me.

Finally, even if this browser only have access to `~/Downloads`, it would still be capable of modifying any file that something else put there, thus allowing it to easily install malware into anything that anything els downloads, without the user's knowledge.

> The modern Linux is much more than capabilities and user-based permissions. A mount namespace with selectively bind-mounted dirs can do wonders for security. And things like "bindfs" which can translate UIDs on the fly can give even more isolation.

There is a good reason that SELinux never truly penetrated: — it is capable of much of this, but it would also make most applications unworkable and users would complain about no longer being able to do as they will.

More or less what the situation is on Android, or Windows.

Everything I can find online about this "ladder short attack" points to the GME activity. Does anybody have any explanation for this that predates the last week? This is not the first short squeeze, nor the first outage for retail traders during a volatile period. The only explanation I see on reddit refers to hedge funds lowering their bids, which isn't sufficient to explain the market actually dropping (there were other buyers out there, and market makers). Anyone can put in a lowball bid but it doesn't matter if it's far off-book.

What does make sense to me is that cutting off a substantial amount of retail flow would reduce buying pressure, causing all market participants to regain at least a little confidence in a reversion to the mean. It just seems pretty tinfoil-hatty to me to view this as some sort of elite cabal, as if RH and Citadel were somehow the only participants who could effect price changes.
There is a middle ground, where you have a couple of tiers.
Mach-E started as a compliance EV and the realised that their compliance car might not sell at all and they would have to lose like 10-15k on each one of them, and potentially sell them in fairly large numbers compared to compliance cars of the past.

So they have a team inside Ford and they basically told them to go all out on the vehicle and they did a nice job. These guys however are still sort of separate from overall Ford and the car is basically designed to sell well and not lose them to much money. Ford has the issue that they simply don't have battery supply to scale their EV production.

They are getting batteries from LG in Europe right now but all new capacity is basically already reserved for all the Europeans. They simply can't copy the Model Y and sell 300k a year, specially because to match the Y in specs, they needed to put more battery into it.

I agree with your point on FSD. They said they would start to value it during trade in now, but even so, when you sell it privately, if the buyer doesn't want FSD its harder to sell, its limits the pool of people who want it.
So on books (copyright) then, what is the alternative?

It's more visible in the Southern Hemisphere.

I see it clearly, and I'm only 10km from Palmerston North which puts out a lot of light.

I've seen it from remote ocean, and more remote parts of NZ, and it never looks like those colorful long exposure photographs. Instead it barely has any color, but certainly has billows of tiny black clouds obscuring uncountable infinitely close stars that look like milk.
Once or twice a day most days I put on my eye mask and put on a guided yoga nidra session. I set my timer for 15 to 30 minutes depending on my energy level at the time. These really give me an extra boost in energy and help keep me relaxed and focused.

I'd be find with 4 out/1 in... or even 3 in/2 out - I'm pretty happy where I work and I enjoy like in the office... but I also enjoy it at home.

That's why I'd prefer more than 1 day in the office. Its about a year out and I already miss my podcasts, the walk from parking to the office and meetings around the table.

I think managers want people in the office (generally) because that's easier to manage (traditionally). So once vaccines become The Norm, it'll be a move back towards that. I think that companies that have done remote can't go back 100% in office though (with exceptions) and won't stay 100% remote (again, with exceptions).

I don't see my company staying 100% remote but we have done real well with remote (and a switch to agile/scrum, coincidentally, at the same time).
That is mainly a choice of the installer, you can get LED lighting in 2700K. It's a regulation update to insist outdoor night time public lighting be 2700K or lower.

The sweet spot for lumens per watt is about 5000K I think, so there is also a power efficiency angle which is probably why a lot of these new lights are way too blue.

The main selling point of Wayland is the simplification of graphics pipeline

> "The wayland tag line is "every frame is perfect", by which I mean that applications will be able to control the rendering enough that we'll never see tearing, lag, redrawing or flicker" -- Kristian Høgsberg, creator of Wayland [1]

Input handling and related issues are mere afterthought in comparison.

Besides that, this project is not really keylogging Wayland in any meaningful way. Wayland compositor sends the key events to the application and its the applications responsibility from there on to do whatever it pleases; in this case it printing them to stderr but that is incidental. Wayland can't just magically protect you from having malicious code running within your application.

edit: a strained analogy, but this thing is akin to saying that "you can eavesdrop https" and then show ld_preload hooks for intercepting openssl calls.

There is no such thing as a window manager on Wayland. Everything is baked into one centralized "compositor". AFAIK some compositors like Weston offer a non-standardized plug-in interface that allows a 3rd party to implement a window manager as a shared object. But so far I haven't seen anybody use it.
It's even worse than that, since inflation hits the poors the hardest, while the capital and professional classes have skills/assets that weather inflation quite nicely. Hard to imagine a more efficient way of neutering the poors politically and economically.

Your positive experiences with this, do not mirror mine. I have one 4K main display at 200% scaling, and an old 19" off-screen I use for IRC and music playback at 100% scale. Every time I wake my machine, the windows from the off-screen are shuffled around to the main screen, and windows on the main screen are resized and moved around. It absolutely drives me up the wall, and it's clear that this configuration has never been tested by anyone at Microsoft.

That's not a dumb question! The accuracy of one's underlying models is an outstanding problem in verification.
It would actually be great if Wayland would allow clients to handle HiDPI themselves but it doesn't which makes fractional scaling much worse than it needs to be. Wayland defines integer scaling only and then compositors scale 2x content down to 1.5x or whatever it is you want. This means that if you have an app that's capable of drawing at arbitrary scale you are still forced to draw at 2x and then be scaled down by the compositor. This is needlessly blurry and a performance penalty. Text can be drawn at arbitrary scale but is blurry because of this. Browsers can render at any resolution but have substantial performace penalties because of this (2x at common fractional scales). Anything that renders images also gets needless downscales because of this with both quality and performance penalties. It's a baffling decision to not do this client side and hopefully will be fixed with the evolution of the protocol.
Preparing for a Pandemic: Accelerating Vaccine Availability
The Imperial College London trials looked at this. In the first trial, people were given 1 dose of psilocybin, and while some people recovered fully, many went back to being depressed after some months. In the second trial, they gave people 2 doses spaced a few weeks apart, and focused more on integration after the experience. They had much more success in sustained recovery with that.

Thank you for your story.

I just wanted to offer an alternative view on regular drug use. I vape marijuana every day. After college I became an alcoholic after having stayed totally sober until age 21. Binge drinking college parties left me and my friends binge drinking well after college. It was bad, though I never lost a job.

I’d tried marijuana several times and often felt overwhelmed with it. It would take me more than ten years to realize why those incidents happened - group pressure to take huge hits of marijuana left me feeling way too high. A deeply uncomfortable feeling.

But marijuana helped me quit alcohol. I do not consider it the healthiest option nor do I recommend to anyone that they consume marijuana. But I would push back that it is always a bad idea. For my health I only vape marijuana and I keep the doses very small. I know it may still lead to health problems and I hope some day I don’t feel the need to do it. But it seems to help. I’ve stopped for weeks at a time and it’s fine. But I seem to prefer having a bit of marijuana every day. And I really don’t think that’s bad for me personally. I’m a successful robotics engineer. I worked for two years at Google X robotics while consuming marijuana daily and they filed two patents for my work during that time. Since then I’ve gone off to co-found a farming robotics organization that is about to announce our open source farming robot that I designed and built pretty much all myself.

I think we should take a more open minded approach to drug use. Some people may find that certain drugs work for them. Certainly I am achieving my life goals while vaping marijuana daily. I don’t really think it’s best for me long term, but it seems to be what’s working for me now.
Are you saying he abandoned the therapy because of the short-term relief? Most people return to their depressed state when they stop taking their anti-depressants.
"You do you" that's part of it... I live on a family farm so I can't "move to the city" and I can't bring the jobs to me - so I have a long commute for a good wage. It's a tradeoff. ("cheap housing" isn't an issue - we own the land... but at an "extreme" commuting range)

So for me, partial remote is perfect... I get "social interactions" that remote can't replace... while losing a large chunk of commute (hours a day).

If I wasn't "tied to the land", I'd move to the job in a heartbeat.
Wayland has a proper protocol for fractional per-output scaling: https://wayland-book.com/surfaces-in-depth/hidpi.html. While there are many reasons why I prefer Wayland over X, this is the biggest.

X only allows setting a DPI per "display", but not per screen (multiple monitor setups where you can drag windows between screens use one X "display"). So you have to resort to these hacks.
Ketamine is a not uncommon thing in psych today. It is routinely prescribed. The problems are that it does seem for most people the effect is short lived (weeks) and psychosis is a thing (the poster below saying it’s never an issue even in pain setting is simply mistaken). The thing is that neither of these are uncommon problems for psych meds in general so ketamine shouldn’t be singled out for this, but it’s more complicated then some of the armchair docs here make it seem.

There is continuing research into regimens that might minimize the tachyphylaxis, but it’s an ongoing problem.

This will probably flip once solar becomes our largest (or among the largest) electrical energy source.

I imagine a future where daytime power is primarily supplied by solar, and nighttime power by nuclear. And with wind, hydro, geothermal, etc. becoming ancillary energy sources.
> The argument is that we have known for literally thousands of years that charging interest on loans is a destructive practice.

We don’t know that, we only know that Abrahamic theocrats have prohibited it.

Yes, this is foolish.

Banks generate ridiculous profits in fractional reserve banking. In a system where they have to survive on the difference between interest collected and interest paid then they only profit when they make good loans and are able to collect them in a timely manner.

How does the law draw blood from a stone? You yourself said the law is wrong for continuously accumulating interest on an unpaid debt. It seems youkve forgotten the problems you already identified.

> Take that away and no business contract makes sense anymore since it can't be enforced by the law.

This only applies to the business contract that we have both identified as problematic.
