I had been on dozens if not a hundred trips, and it wasn't until my son was born that I had bad trips.
I have experienced what I perceived to be hell-like experiences three times in total now. The sense of gratitude that I feel when those trips end have more than made up for the bad experiences themselves, in my cases.

I have two friends that have experienced prolong psychiatric states, I'm talking several days to weeks of just being out of it, not making sense, not being able to really function as a normal human.. I feel lucky to have not dealt with that.

The good trips can be so amazing and even life changing that many want to discount the horror stories, but sadly many are true.

I think people should be able to make the decision for themselves legally as with any substance.
Yes. There's nothing special about a mobile phone number when it comes to SMS delivery. The underlying infrastructure company given in the article, Bandwidth, provides phone number provisioning and bulk service for Google's Voice product. On-net (one number hosted by Bandwidth to another number hosted by Bandwidth) might be slightly more of a hurdle to intercept or redirect but off-net is fairly trivial.

Heck, even with "port lock" enabled on a Google Voice number, that is the barest of security against an attacker who has any kind of access better than "retail store employee." Working for a telco with access to our back-end port system, access several other people had, I could forcibly acquire a number by simply checking a box that said I had verified a written LOA even if the losing carrier responded with code 6P ("port-out protection enabled").

So, yes, you're likely sitting in a security-by-obscurity, or at least security-by-slightly-more-difficult-than-someone-else, situation.
Glad to hear I'm not alone in this. Currently at 133%, so not quite as extreme.

Judging from the responses, this is actually a lot more popular than I assumed.

Which begs the question: Does anyone feel the default font is just perfect and wouldn't want it to be bigger even by a tiny bit?
Yes (changed the post)... my point is that the program is valid! Rusts type system can fail to stop on valid programs. I’m probably making a mess of all this though and should shut up before I confuse things more!

I have a different answer to this problem. If you get stuck, send me an email and work on something else for a while. That way I don't get interrupted and you get your answer. Asynchronous communication is great.
What I would find really interesting is if someone used this exploit to hack into the accounts of Sakari staff and sabotaged their service, deleting all their infrastructure from their cloud hosting provider etc. I'm sure Sakari would take this security hole more seriously if their own C-suite fell victim to it.
Yes, on shit tons of major services.

Yep, that’s exactly what they are saying
Let's see. I log into Facebook. I type "vaccine" into the search page. The first autocomplete entry is "vaccine injury stories" - that looks interesting, let's see what that finds. Okay, so the first entry is "Looking for vaccine info" (Boring!), the second is a "Vaccines save lives" group (not what I searched for), and the third is "see all groups for "vaccine injury stories""

That seems more like it. What does that find? Ah, here we go, "COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effects" - a group with 66k members. And lots of juicy, fascinating stories of bad things happening after someone got vaccinated.

And 10 minutes later, even I, who knows that in a country that has delivered almost 100M shots, shots that don't protect against stroke or heart attack (or eczema or whatever), there are going to be a lot of folks who get the vaccine and then have something bad happen to them can't help but feel at least a little more worried about the prospect of getting one of those shots. (I don't have to imagine the effect of these stories on folks with a weaker stats background - I just have to talk to my relatives...)

And that's something that's not necessary, but is extremely lucrative for FB. And that's a problem for anyone who likes living in a functioning democracy.
What other ansible licensing would I be talking about? AWX has no support, it is a non-starter in the enterprise.

So again: Ansible is not an answer for someone looking for a ready-made solution to managing bare metal, which was my entire premise. Telling people to just use Ansible or Puppet when they're asking for a solution to the problem is just barely more helpful then telling them you can do it with a bash script and SSH for a consulting fee. It's pedantic and misses the point entirely.

Just to mention, they aren't kidding about the "dilute" part. I'm not saying how I know, but if you won't take their word for it, you'd be well advised to take mine.
Indeed, I drive a small, old Toyota hatchback right now. Mostly I get around town by bike. My spouse and I would like our next car to be an electric if this one ever gives out, but my fear is that all cars seem to be getting bigger and bigger.
> You risk making discourse difficult when you continue punishing people who are attempting to do the right after doing wrong for a while.

On the other hand, a few days of doing the absolute bare minimum of quality control doesn't undo a decade of actively hostile practices. They're still very very deeply in the red when it comes to their relations with the playerbase and for good reason.

Paying $10k to the person who documented this bug is a good start, but you need to do a whole lot of work to make up for the impressions caused by that kind of prolonged systemic negligence.
A sorta aside. The absolute best AirBnB experience we ever had was in Vienna. Of course it's an anecdote, but we had absolutely no trouble finding convenient, cheap, and large places to stay under $70/night. This made us think that the housing market there must be quite cheap compared to where we're from. We ended up staying in an absolutely beautiful flat about 20 minutes from the city center via U-Bahn for <$60/night -- a price we've paid for old bedrooms in lesser cities. The same flat where we live would easily cost closer to $3k/mo.
We were well into implementation of a SaaS that relied on PG and used their cloud offering before we found that the latency was just abysmal.

The best we could get was ~45ms using pgbench vs ~10ms local and ~18 using AWS Aurora.

Their solution, wait for the flexible server offering which is not available in AUS but when tested in another region showed ~30ms so still not fit for purpose.

We eventually had to switch to running PG in AKS which has its pros and cons.

The funniest thing was, running Azure VM to AWS PG was faster than running Azure VM to Azure PG.
For many non-technical users, unfortunately, yes.
> While you can't port a Google voice number

You absolutely can port a Google Voice number. End-user subscriber numbers must be portable per FCC rules. Google, operating services provided by Bandwidth.com (mentioned in the article), does enable port-protection by default but this is easy to bypass by an operator who, like in the article, checks the box that says something like "I have a valid written LOA, complete the port as an exception." This has legitimate uses (some losing providers are very ruthless about not following the rules and letting customers move numbers) but unscrupulous or lazy operators will check the box and move on.
By what reasoning?
I was taught to use the clove hitch as a fast and easy to check way to secure something, typically for a backup to a primary anchor or knot. Like once you get up to the top and are anchoring in you can throw a quick clove hitch on as a backup while you get a stronger anchor setup. We also used it in crevasse rescue situations as a backup for the prusik/friction hitch.
I see I didn’t think of it like that. So getting a million dollars out of an exchange might be hard due to KYC and AML problems on the bank side. But you offer a way to go directly into an asset although I assume you have KYC and AML obligations too.
Pretty sure a hacker would be perpetrating an actual, punishable-by-trial crime in forging those legal documents. That's generally the first regulation that the US imposes.

A disinclination to regulate anything is a good idea in a society that generally punishes bad behavior after the behavior has been perpetrated. I would have doubts for instance about government regulating the process for sending and receiving SMS - would you want every new software or protocol to have to go through some kind of bureaucratic review before it can be used?
> Are you accusing his sincerity?

No, I am pointing out the shortcomings in this statement:

>> He "systematically worked to block any researchers in the U.S. working on ideas that ran counter to his own"?

> Yes, that's precisely what you do when you think the other approach is rubbish, you fight to put it out like a fire that threatens to burn down your beloved field. You only ever stop criticising others' work and promoting your own ideas when you are 100% convinced -no doubts at all- that it's your work that's flawed.

-

> The correctness of the ideas which failed to gain traction is irrelevant.

Do you perceive yourself to have knowledge of what difference an alternative outcome would have made in the world?

> The burden is on the authors of those works to explain and decent the merit of their ideas. If they failed to convince their peer reviewers then that is on them.

It is also "on" anyone else who would have been affected by good ideas not being "put out like a fire". Things that do not happen are not stored in your mind, therefore it is quite natural for them to not exert much influence on your thinking.

> Unless you are accusing the peer-reviewers of acting in bad-faith.

I have no knowledge of their actions and therefore no opinion, I am simply pointing out shortcomings in thinking.
What's preventing someone from getting mutiple regular phones and accounts for them then?
Reminder: SMS 2FA adds only a negligible amount of security, if your company does 2FA via SMS you're doing nothing more than lulling your users into a false sense of security. Don't do it. Support proper 2FA. (And while you're at it, allow your users to decide how much they care about their account. Don't make the decision for them.)

> There is nothing, technically, that he can do to prevent third party clients.

There are plenty of technical ways of detecting and blocking 3rd party clients (using both in-channel and side-channel, uh, signals); the only challenge is that it becomes a never-ending arms-race
I really really see that as a huge negative. Think woman’s suffrage, civil rights and MLK, etc.
I used the Republic Wireless wifi only service for $5/month. Still more expensive than it _needs_ to be, but well worth it.
There is a lot of variability available within the vague expression "let competing ideas actually compete".
It doesn’t, and no one claims it does. Some compilers (eg Closure) do other optimizations that might help, but the benefit is starting the execution sooner. 10% of the time on the wire for code that performs the same is still 90% time on the wire faster load time.
> The atrocities of the 20th century, which make everything earlier seem like child's play, are a result of secularization. Modern-style racism was invented by Enlightenment thinkers. Eugenics is the result of genetics and Darwin. Dialectical materialism inspired many mass murderers.

Mind pointing to some citations? Genuinely curious.

> Religion reminds people of their fallibility.

I don't need religion to remind me of my fallibility. I'm reminded of that on a daily basis when I screw simple things up.

> When you forget your own limitations, you deify yourself...

First, it's a huge stretch to claim that forgetting limitations leads to deification. But secondly, when I forget my own limitations, I'm quickly reminded again by screwing up again.

Religion is not necessary to stay grounded. And not every religion is focused on the fallibility of humans. Do some people find that religion helps them stay grounded? Sure. If that works for you, great.

You're describing something that some religions may do.
Which doesn't matter that much because there is a fairly small limit on how deep recursion can go which you can easily exceed without Turing-completeness, and the distinction between a program that will halt eventually but not within the limit you give it and one that will never halt doesn't matter for practical purposes.
Google has the following. Would you consider it to be "something better"?

I.e. use smartphone prompts as the first factor (without causing password resets), while the password is just a backup when the phone is not available.
It's interesting that "cost" is the reason given for why these vehicles aren't electric, but... how could that be? Batteries for electric carmakers are not that expensive any more, maybe $150/kWh.

LLVs are currently horrendously inefficient (fleet average of about 9mpg). They have a ~13 gallon tank for a range of about 120 miles. They drive about 18 miles a day on average (total fleet average, so some are idle and probably the typical route is 45 miles, but 18 miles is good for our purposes) and burn 2 gallons of gas. At $3/gallon, that's about $6 a day in fuel costs (and let's ignore brakes and oil changes). We could put a 75kWh battery in that thing, easily get 250 mile range (double the range of what the LLV is). For an efficiency of about 3.33 miles per kWh, and an average commercial electricity price of 11 cents per kWh, that's 59 cents per day in electricity cost. So every day, the electric one would save $5.40 in fuel costs (net).

Even with that generous 75kWh battery, you're talking just 6 years for it to pay for the electric battery to pay for itself in fuel costs vs the old vehicle. And these things are designed to last for multiple decades, plus this will drastically reduce oil changes and brake servicing costs. Are they really that cash strapped they'll ignore something that can save them that much? The US federal government definitely isn't strapped for cash. Does this really boil down to punitive fiscal requirements for the USPS put on by Congress and DeJoy? Because if so, that's inexcusable.

Or perhaps no one bid a competitively low price for an electric powertrain?
I usually try to get away with reading as little of the manual as possible until I absolutely have to. Articles like this really help cavemen like me because this is leaps and bounds better than reading the actual c++ standard!
I’ve been having an issue with E2E encryption in a Room on a self-hosted homeserver with ~10 users. It has to do with a user having multiple devices, I think. There’s an ongoing issue on GitHub [0]. It’s been the only downside to Element for us, so far. Other than that I’m happy with Matrix in general. Kind of a pain trying to troubleshoot decryption keys cross-country with my mom.

The English language has transcended the English. The global English a Chinese person speaks with a French person is delightfully unconcerned with the Oxford dictionary.

Iirc there is only one country in the EU left that speaks English.
Seems like there's room for a vendor that takes something like Firecracker or Gvisor and tailors it for embedded devices.
ISTH Statement on AstraZeneca Covid-19 Vaccine and Thrombosis
Another idea and I’m sort of serious although it might sound silly to some.

First ICO an ethereum token with the idea to collect fiat cash and as soon as you have enough to buy property you buy.

Rent money goes back into the cash pool.

Always keep enough cash for property maintenance for 1 year.

Money is reinvested in excess of this.

Get the tokens listed on uniswap.

This is a nice way for crypto people to diversify with little hassle.

This is most interesting part of interview posted at the same time.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16548/interview-with-amd-forr...

> IC: While AMD increases the performance on its processor product line, the bandwidth out to DRAM remains constant. Is there an ideal intercept point where higher bandwidth memory makes sense for a customer?

> FN: I think you’re absolutely right, and really at the top of the stack, depending on the workload, that can be the performance limiter. If you’re comparing top of the stack parts in certain workloads, you’re not going to see as much of a performance gain from generation to generation, just because you are memory bandwidth limited at the end of the day.

> That’s going to continue as we keep increasing the performance of cores, and keep increasing the number of cores. But you should expect us to continue to increase the amount of bandwidth and memory support. DDR5 is coming, which has quite a bit of headroom to DDR4. We see more and more interest in using high bandwidth memory, for an on-package solution. I think you will see SKU’s in the future from a variety of companies incorporating HBM, especially for AI. That will initially be fairly specialized to be to be candid, because HBM is extremely expensive. So for most the standard DDR memory, even DDR5 memory, means that HBM is going to be confined initially to applications that are incredibly memory latency sensitive, and then you know, it’ll be interesting to how it plays out over time.
NFTs have a signature, that's it. What happens is that the author address changes. No one wants a mona lisa that says "deft" on the bottom corner.
Oh absolutely, I have a whole host of stuff on my todo list for projects I'm developing that has been there for months and will remain there for months longer.

That said, they're all things like "refactor the frobnicator code so it's more obvious what it does" and "make templating system log changes to server". Nothing on my list says "Look in to that major performance issue that literally thousands of customers complain about every single day". That stuff gets sorted immediately.
Also same. I'd also like the ability to pay maybe a bit more and be able to gift full access to friends/family.
>Your setting is important

I would say that your setting is of paramount importance.
I am pretty new to mushrooms. What would you call a "high" dose? So far I have tried, 2, 3 and 4g dried. I definitely could feel it physically and became emotionally very sensitive but I didn't feel anything spiritual.

This is indeed a problem. Especially the last character is really hard to target because it coincides with the end of the field. Or always takes me several frustrated tries.

It’s more than just letting urchins starve. The spines from their dead bodies prevent the bull kelp from establishing their foothold. And ocean warming is also very problematic for the kelp. Much more so than urchins.

I don’t mean to be fatalistic, but I’m realistic. One of my closest friends in the world is a marine biologist studying red abalone on the CA coast. We’ve been discussing this problem for years as it has caused the closure of the fishery, thus eliminating one of our favorite shared pastimes. We WANT to dive for abs again, but all the evidence is pointing to towards an ecosystem where that won’t be possible anytime soon.
I was well aware even by March that masks were the way to go. It was a simple lie, by e.g. the Surgeon General, in order to try to save masks (while they didn't even start ramping production of them!)

But of course if a government official lies to you about your own health risks then that has very high costs, much higher than whatever masks were saved. They could have just said "masks are useful, but you need to be trained to use them correctly, they are difficult to manipulate, etc. and they are very scarce so sadly let's stay home and let doctors and nurses use them".

I might sound as if I'm upset at that, because I REALLY am. I hate when governments lie, even if they are "white lies", and I hate when they treat their constituents as kids.
Unfortunately he will flunk the interview after failing to invert a binary tree..
I think calling a position of authority a position of leadership is a mistake too. Someone assuming leadership shows the difference.

A contentious election is still an election. We have words like dictator and ruler for unelected political bosses.
Maybe you don't work fast or good enough, but the solution to that is not "work more".

There are a number of possible outcomes here:
1: (most likely) you really are good enough, but the expectation is unreasonable
2: you need some help to be good enough. Either training or better tooling.
3: you really aren't suited for the role, in which case it's in everyones interest to find someone more suited to the role.
Nah, it's cheaper and easier for them to mandate that the companies take care of it.
Shame, it looks like the Sheet Bend is advertised on the front page as one of the "Basic Knots" to start with but I think the Zeppelin Bend[0] is far superior and just as easy to grok. It is more secure than a Sheet Bend and yet paradoxically easier to untie after heavy load.
