I wonder if this misconception has more to do with the fact that programming languages define left/right bitshift operators and since left shift means making a number bigger, that implies the most significant bits are on the left (eg first in a LTR language).
Isn't it also weird that crypto enthusiasts assume that you obviously can't trust a central clearing house (or similar mechanism) when they have been working well for hundreds of years? In numerous cases humans trust institutions for certain things, and those institutions are usually strongly incentivized to act honorably, and do so. And when they don't, the court system works pretty well. At least in the countries where the vast majority of economic activity occurs.

These are two premise which... don't seem to hold water?

This company Compass Pathways is one that is doing clinical trials for psilocybin treatments, hopefully they can be purchased with a prescription sometime this decade or in a few years.
More info from the company: "We received FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for our programme of psilocybin therapy in treatment-resistant depression in 2018. We are conducting a randomised controlled phase IIb study of psilocybin therapy in 216 patients with treatment-resistant depression in 22 sites across Europe and North America"

"We are working as quickly as we can to develop psilocybin therapy for people suffering with treatment-resistant depression. We expect to report data from our phase IIb by the end of the year. If the results are positive, we then plan to begin a phase III study in 2022. Details of the sites that will be involved in this phase will be provided here as soon as they have been approved."

It's possible to have a blind participant if they've not had psilocybin before and they are going to receive either psilocybin or one of a multitude of other psychoactive substances (at least that's how Johns Hopkins did it).

Yes, and it is; however, my (intended) point was that it is what almost no one is looking for when they type "Cicero", and if you simply search for Cicero by itself, you get nothing telling you that it's a typographic unit.
I don’t think that’s correct. 1-5 stars is sufficient. The problem is that you need reason to continuously update the values as your preferences update over time (what was once a 5-star is now a 4-star, because that last movie I saw was phenomenal)

What you need is sufficient reason to do so — the values need to actually be useful to you to make updating an act of sanity (unlike now, where it’s purely an act of futility). Feeding the algorithm is not itself sufficient (though necessary, and currently ineffective). The ideal recommendation system would encourage rating entry as a ritual act, and more importantly, rating updates an act that derives real value.

Only then will you have good data, and from good data, a dumb algorithm will suffice.

Offering an IMAP service runs the same security risk under Exchange as it does under G Suite, namely, it’s a username and password login flow. It’s also disabled in Office 365 if you opt for a secure configuration.

The one difference might be, if you have a Windows domain, you could integrate MFA into your domain login process and then use AD’s built in Kerberos to authenticate mail clients to the IMAP server. That’s still relatively Microsoft-proprietary stuff. Thunderbird on Linux probably won’t access that, even though “Kerberos” and “IMAP” are nominally things it supports.

I think what changed here was a less a shift towards proprietary architecture and more an increased emphasis on MFA.

Happy to see a multitude of poignant responses to comments here. It should be clear that “gun control” is very similar to the “war on drugs”. I guess a better corollary is the prohibition of cannabis. Folks (law abiding gun owners) helping their loved ones with debilitating diseases and what not are not able to do so, in the spirit of preventing bad outcomes for the general populace. We don’t need to control guns. We need to “control” the urge to commit violence. Politics obscure the target every time.

Not meant as an insult. But if your retention rate is up 50% with 18 year olds, and down 25% with 30+ers, is that good?

My hangup is that it's a bank. As another so eloquently described, I prefer an ultra professional appearance. Money is important, and banking is ultra regulated. I want to feel they are on top of everything.

Pizza places all started using emojis in communications to me. And that's ok, it's just pizza.

Cell phones emit non-ionizing radiation. How can that possibly cause brain cancer? Shouldn’t we be seeing an epidemic of brain cancer if this were true? Wouldn’t the much stronger sources of radio waves we’re exposed to produce even more cancer? What about WiFi?

While toxicity may be low, it's very unlikely we'll find few side effects. The reason we don't know many ill effects of the drugs used in small doses is that we haven't studied them properly yet (meaning at a population level over time).

It may also mutate around the vaccination and previous infection protections. We're going to be living with it possibly forever.

Governments exist to provide public goods. One such public good is protecting private citizens from having their rights violated by other parties, through a national defense system and a justice system.

A collection of people not providing you with games on your terms is not a violation of your rights. You siccing the government on them is a violation of their right to choose for themselves what to work on and on what terms to offer it for sale.

In the admittedly mainstream approach you endorse, the government is acting in contravention of its benevolent purpose, something Frédéric Bastiat wrote about at length 170 years ago:

Another potential positive benefit of fasting is it deprives the body of the energy/nutrients it needs to physiologically repress unexpressed emotions. Certainly if you have any past major traumas buried deep it may be beneficial to have someone well-fed along for the ride who can guide your thinking, but there's nothing quite like an extended fast to force you to jettison old cargo and take that ride on the emotional rollercoaster you've been avoidng for years.

Remember that vaccination status isn't uniformly distributed, so communities with 35% of people fully vaccinated, even with 20% of that having had it, will still see it spread with ease, especially as restrictions are dropped.

That said, herd immunity thresholds vary massively. They're much lower in, say, Wyoming, than NYC.

Great job patting yourselves on the back, 9 times... I love how they mention how its sophisticated, localized and quick they were to detect it. Then they drop the details, which are literally the opposite of what they say... it impacted 1500+ businesses, the attackers got in via command injection, they only caught it after customers started complaining.

> Bogus products Edit
Products have been advertised that claim to shield people from EM radiation from mobile phones; in the US the Federal Trade Commission published a warning that "Scam artists follow the headlines to promote products that play off the news – and prey on concerned people."[72]

According to the FTC, "there is no scientific proof that so-called shields significantly reduce exposure from electromagnetic emissions. Products that block only the earpiece – or another small portion of the phone – are totally ineffective because the entire phone emits electromagnetic waves." Such shields "may interfere with the phone's signal, cause it to draw even more power to communicate with the base station, and possibly emit more radiation."[72] The FTC has enforced false advertising claims against companies that sell such products.[73]

I drew a pertinent distinction, which you seem to be ignoring. Or are you confusing me for another commenter? I made no statement previous to the one you replied to.

Did Greenpeace edit this interview to do something like give a false impression of what this guy actually told them? That's what Project Veritas often does. For instance, here's a conservative news outlet dissecting the kind of deceptions they engage in: https://www.theblaze.com/news/2011/03/10/does-raw-video-of-n.... The article outlines a lot of deceptive edits in one video, but some of them are particularly egregious, e.g.:

> So after saying that the MEAC website advocates the “acceptance of Sharia,” the video cuts to the NPR exec saying, “Really? That’s what they said?” The cadence is jovial and upbeat and the narration moves on. The implication is that the NPR exec is aware and perhaps amused or approving of the MEAC mission statement. But when you look at the raw video you realize he was actually recounting an unrelated and innocuous issue about confusion over names in the restaurant reservation.

It's really irritating that they walled a lot of it off behind a high paywall (seems awfully short sighted to charge up and coming developers $200+ to learn one aspect of how to use your product; I can feel the touch of an ambitious middle manager in that move), but what's free is still a great introduction, and the competition doesn't compare.

> For more than a decade, Joel Moskowitz, a researcher in the School of Public Health at UC Berkeley and director of Berkeley’s Center for Family and Community Health, has been on a quest to prove that radiation from cellphones is unsafe.

Implicit in this is that, despite the decade-plus quest, he has done nothing like proving it.

And that seems to be the case.

The most telling refutation is despite the low-quality research Moskowitz cites showing potential harm, the explosion of cellphone use has not led to an increase of the harms that are supposedly associated with it in that research.

I like these town vibes and the US lacks these types of towns mostly because economics. Self sufficient farming is cool but there is a reason the vast majority of places don't do it. And one might say it creates that family or towny vibe but most towns in the US don't do it. Why economics. People are somewhat resistant to big town store but a few sellouts lead to more and eventually the price differential can destroy that model. Now the author point out they want to prevent this from happening but making towns no cars which is a tough sell if your not a tourist town (getting to this is the problem). I can think of many towns in Europe that have this property and maintain the local feel much better but still it feels much harder. Jobs are really important and if you town is just making farm stuff you run a risk of a huge poor spot developing leading to issues spiraling out of control because there's not jobs to fix it. Now this might be the exact reason to try it because there is risk and it has potential but it seems very difficult to pull this off
