>There are other substances that most people really don't think should be accessible to everyone

This is not how a free society operates. I choose what I put into my body and not you or anyone else. If doing so causes me to commit a crime, then punish that crime, but banning drugs because "most people" don't like them is not freedom. If you don't like them, then don't do them.

>Is it even possible to be a responsible Heroin user?

A free person should be given the opportunity to demonstrate their responsibility instead of it being assumed such responsibility is not possible simply because a majority of the populace finds a substance distasteful.

Well, sex in reggaeton is often seen as an end on itself, rather than a form of companionship, or a way to progressively cement a relationship, or create a family... It's just attraction and sex.

The genre seems very focused on those 2 things only, leaving out many other aspects of relationship building. It's as deep as Pikotaro's song "Pen Pineapple Apple Pen".

They may have the right to vote. Whether the facility lets it actually happen is another matter.

It's not impossible that one of the Democrats did it, so they could pretend to oppose it. Controlled opposition isn't a new thing.

If one of the Republicans did it, can they have the numbers to pass it, why wouldn't one of them take credit for it?
Why would Ohio Republicans include an amendment that they don't support in a bill that they already have enough votes to pass? If they were against this amendment, it wouldn't be in the bill. It is therefore safe to assume Republicans are in support of the amendment.
Leading with a description of what you'll "return" makes some sense, especially when you're chaining, nesting, or otherwise combining queries.

I agree that it's kinda weird, though. Every time I need to spend serious time in SQL I end up having to re-learn how to think "inside out", for that and other reasons.
People keep repeating this, but when citizens see behavior that has serious negative consequences, they may--in perfectly good faith--want to suppress it through law. Not everything is a devious ploy.

Also, the received wisdom that alcohol prohibition was a mistake is debatable. The many ills of alcoholism (health problems, violence, drunk driving) declined enough to possibly justify the experiment. But the experiment never changed human nature, of course. So it ended.

I do agree with you that most commentators freak out about the zero bound more than is justified. Especially given the fact that negative rates have existed in Europe and Japan for a while without any major effects.

But generally, banks are extremely discourages, both by regulation and convention, from charing negative interest rates on consumer accounts. The first bank that "burns" funds in your checking or savings account is going to get assailed by a pitchfork wielding mob. So you're forced to borrow deposits at zero, and lend negative, which is obviously unprofitable. Negative interest rates do create a game of hot potato, where banks continuously try to offload their consumer depositors on one another.
No, why? "Illness" sometimes is about the quantity, not the quality. If you enjoy the odd glass of wine once a week, you're fine, if you drink every hour of the day, not so fine.

Wise (formerly TransferWise) to go public via direct listing

As a candidate, I'm willing to put up with sometimes shoddy interview outcomes (e.g., ghosting) if my funnel is far greater and consequently leads to a more competitive offer, which is the end goal. A narrower funnel, that pre-selects for higher expectations of how companies engage in the process, may end up falling short of what I'm optimizing for.
I don't think the laws are the way they are because people don't have common sense. Think of all the lawyers, drug testing lab techs, court clerks, judges, and probation officers that would lose their jobs if the war on drugs was lifted.

If you ever watched police shows like "cops" they seem to spend 2/3 of their time arresting people for drugs. It's hard solve home burglaries, it's easy to bust people with petty amounts of drugs in their cars.
No one thinks gun control needs to apply to the government, except sovereign citizen nuts. The reason many people want gun control is to keep civilians from buying military grade weapons and mowing down other civilians. And not all who want some restrictions on firearm possession want "citizen disarmament."
At the end of the day Neo4J needs to operate a query planner on top of a relatively standard index structure to present the graph abstraction. There is limited difference between Neo4j's planner and what could be planned from SQL.

GraphDBs make more sense when there is strong evidence that either the natural description of the program is a graph or that the underlying storage engine can efficiently model the graph.

So far no GraphDB has demonstrated either statements as true for the majority of problems.
Did you consider that the OCD could get worse due to the negative effects of the OCD, e.g., bad performance in the job or problems with the patient's relationships to friends and family? If such a feedback loop exists, breaking it can be part of the cure, no?
I'd love to work with Triplebyte (as someone who's running a hiring process), but a while back they removed their option to work on contingency, and it's a difficult sell to fork over $X,000k for another source of engineers when it would just be one of 10 sources we already work with.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but it gives me the impression that Triplebyte doesn't believe in it's ability to get candidates into jobs. If companies pay (a not small sum) when candidates actually get hired, then I feel that incentives are aligned. If it's an annual fee (with no option for contingency) then I wonder what incentive the company has to make sure what I care about (making a hire) is the thing they care about.

90% of the other major players (AngelList, Hired, etc) in the market offer this... so why not Triplebyte? Perhaps I'm missing something.
Quite honestly, that's quite scary. The ability to just change an oracle sounds like a backdoor (and not De-centralized). I'm not exactly familiar with Poly - but, I thought that was the sell of Link, was the idea that you are dealing with Oracle pools rather than a specific, single, Oracle?

I can't misunderstand what doesn't make any sense.

> We have a destination in mind. We know it's down this dark and rainy road. I can't foresee every twist and turn on this road and I am able to be at peace with that.

When people say "they're at peace" with things like this in the context of religion, it usually means they've replaced the importance of the here and now with valuing the beyond and the ephemeral. Things in the here and now just aren't that important because God or Jesus will take care of things. I would argue that being at peace when you're in danger, driving down a dark and rainy road, would make you a much worse hypothetical driver. To be a bit snarky, I for one wouldn't want my driver thinking in the back of his mind that if we all die in a crash, it's no big deal because it was God's plan anyways.

You're gonna say that that's not what you do, but that peace has to come from somewhere, and from what you've been saying it sure sounds an awful lot like the peace comes from absolving yourself of responsibility for things that you can't control, even if they are still your responsibility to handle.
As somebody who's worked mostly in very high level "loosey goosey" languages (Ruby, JS) for several years, I had a lot of fun learning Rust. I've still only used it for trivial things but it's an eye opener.

When I was in college, they taught C++ as the programming language (dating myself here...). I walked away with enough negative feelings about it that I thought I just hated strongly typed programming languages that lacked garbage collection, and I thought I hated compilers that spewed errors all the time, and so I gravitated towards things like Python and Ruby.

Rust has proven that I was wrong about myself. I really enjoy working with it - rust has many of the same features but dramatically modernized, and it solves so many ergonomic nightmares that I remember from C++.

With rust I find that entire classes of mistakes I can make with Ruby are straight up impossible because the compiler won't let you get away with it.

If you were scarred by C++, give it a shot, and it may erase some of those old battle scars.
The same can be said about the culture around Opera, but because poor people don't get to go you don't hear critiques of Rigoletto.

FWIW, You mentioned in the OP that you added billing information, but unless their account is very very old: billing information is required on sign up, afaik.

From a parsing perspective, you can use the first keyword to branch to the proper parsing expression with ease...

e.g.: If the query starts with "SELECT" I can use the SELECT parser. If it starts with "UPDATE" I can use the UPDATE parser and so on.

With FROM/WHERE/SELECT you can no longer do that. So there's a cost... but to be honest, it's worth it in my opinion.

Johnson was on the Lex Fridman podcast recent and discussed the helmet there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YbcB6b4A2U

The most interesting thing is that one of their helmets, Flow, is using IR backscatter sensing rather than the electric or magnetic sensing that most other BCI devices (including their other helmet, Flux) use.

The system is still pricey at $50-100k or $3.6k/mo, but they're also planning on selling a simplified version at $5k: https://docs.kernel.com/docs/how-much-does-a-flow-system-cos...

I suffered from bad depression in my youth. Couldn't get a haircut or buy new shoes, things like that. I think the worst moment came when I was so depressed I just stood there in my room. I couldn't even lie down. No way to explain that to a normal person.

One day my mom said, "I know you're not faking this because no one would deliberately be this miserable."

It was more comforting than you might imagine.

Well, yeah - weren't we pretty upfront about the fact that we were only serving a relatively small number of people? That's not the same thing as "we were only taking good engineers and now we take a new cohort of just bad engineers", though.
Alcohol is the one that really throws me off. IT's often a malevolent substance yet has none of the stigma of "hard" drugs. Societal acceptance of alcohol, hell even encouragement, has led to countless deaths in this country. Yet it's readily accessible.
> I talk about my mental health to anyone who will listen, and also try to those who won’t. I don’t launch into the story of my life and whole disease history but I need everyone to understand that depression is something that affects every aspect of my life.

I can't relate to this at all. Maybe it's a big difference in personality, culture or place in life, but the last thing I want to do is to openly share things that are very personal with people that I barely know.
There's admittedly some ongoing work on extending the SQL standard syntax with some extra sugar for "Property Graph Query". But there's nothing wrong technically with just using basic SQL syntax, it's just a matter of getting it to work. Performance will vary depending on query optimizer, any INDEX definitions, etc. and is quite a separate concern.

Overall, graph databases are so general as a model that writing slow queries will always be a possibility, so one should be mindful of these concerns. But that's just as true in NoSQL graph db's.

Python 3 is required for the ability to install coremltools which makes it a developer tool.

Python 2.7 might be there because old software is there for compatibility reasons for software possibly for mathematical software that never really gets updated. Removing it in future versions makes sense because of the fact that if you haven't updated it won't work on ARM Macs.

The best way to make someone upgrade is to deprecate and then remove access. At minimum the worst case scenario is they roll their own and install Python 2.7.
This event doesn't make sense if you have assumed that banks take deposits and then loan that deposit money out.

In reality deposits only cover around 10% of the loan. This is called fractional reserve banking and it means that a bank loan is actually a money creation event!

Cash might seem like an asset. But in reality the loan is the asset that pays the bank money and cash is the liability because the cash can be withdrawn at any time (it is owed to someone else). Increased deposits are bad for banks if they cannot use it to generate a loan asset (which is the case today).

However, I am still trying to understand why increased deposit liabilities are such a problem that the bank regulations force this issue to be resolved overnight in a reverse repo operation.
As much as I would like to believe first contact is imminent...it's mostly like just private companies or individuals flouting FAA rules while they test/play with custom drones.

State actors wouldn't blow the surprise advantage by testing stealth UAVs in areas where they would be easy to spot (such as within radar/visual range of one of the world's busiest international airports).
The communication between the host and the GPU already works on a ring buffer on any modern GPU I believe.

It’s why graphics APIs are asynchronous until you synchronize f.e. by flipping a frame buffer or reading something back.

APIs like Vulkan are very explicit about this and have fences and semaphores. Older APIs will just block if you do something that requires blocking.

> Web surfers often get 404 errors or invalid deep links get automatically redirected to the main landing page -- and people do not lose confidence in the site owner.

I do, to a degree. When I follow some old link to a site and realize they've changed their structure and provided no capability to find the original article if it's still available but at a new URI, I lose confidence.

Not in them overall, but in their ability to run a site that's easy to find what you want and that's usefulness over time isn't constantly undermined. I lose confidence in their ability to do that, which affects how I view their site.

> ... and the link is broken now in 2021. I don't think that broken link shakes the public's confidence in the US government.

Maybe not the Govt itself, but in their ability to provide information through a website usefully and in a way that's easy to understand and retains its value? I'm not sure most people had the confidence to begin with required for them to lose it.

Yes, I agree, there are many advantages. Still I saw various high school level children who were able to get a torrent and launch GTA San Andreas in their computers, but at the same time they were unable to read in a fluent way and of comprehending texts.

I mean, autonomous children, and children with certain interests can learn a lot just by having a computers, while others won't learn much. But still, the exposure to a computer is helfpul for all of them.

I was too extreme in what I expressed. Both having computers and good education are positives.

I agree wholeheartedly while being empathetic with what she's going through.

The identification is, as you say, dangerous. Most people have depressive episodes at least once in their lifetime, and it can leave just as suddenly as it comes.

It makes me wonder if this intense identification slows her recovery or even worse blinds her from seeing its cause; if in this case it has to do with how she is living her life in terms of family, work and social life.

I hope she gets better.

There's a timelock where any such changes are delayed by 12 hours. So if they were to submit a transaction that people didn't like, they could exit - this significantly reduces the expected value of trying to steal funds since most of it will vanish. But it's useful to be able to tweak some parameters in case of bugs such as this.
