"Set and setting was neutral. I was curious that's all."

Your curiosity was part of your set (or mindset), but it's still not clear what the setting was (ie. where you did it).

On the subject of mindset only, it definitely helps to make it as positive as possible (same with setting too, by the way). A neutral mindset could easily get to a negative mindset once you start tripping.. it's harder for that to happen if you have a very positive mindset.

It's also good to have an experienced trip sitter you trust and like, to have constructive intentions for the trip, and to prepare in other ways (such as being in a comfortable, safe, and familiar environment at a time when you don't have any responsibilities to do anything else than enjoy yourself and don't have to deal with any people you aren't extremely comfortable around).

Some other things that can help a lot are to have a good playlist of music to listen to (see the Johns Hopkins Psilocybin playlist[1] for a good example).

Other props that have been successfully used to guide trips in a constructive direction were photographs of loved ones to look at during the trip, and a rose to look at towards the end of the trip.

The time you trip can also influence how it goes. Some people like to time it so that they get to see the sunrise towards the end. Others prefer to trip during the day. Tripping in nature can be very nice..

In modern therapeutic contexts, the trip is done in a comfortable apartment with pleasing decorations, with a mask you put over your eyes to shut out the light and headphones with a carefully curated playlist (so you can go deep inside), and a therapist at your side.

This is a far cry from how most people trip recreationally, where they might be in a party, club, or festival among people they don't know with music they can't control or just out in the streets. That can be a recipe for disaster.

> using the least expensive plan with a (minimum) data allowance of 500 MB over (a minimum of) 30 days

Is just rubbish.

It's just impossible to price things like this, take EE's pricing per GB for a 1 month sim:

* 1GB - £14 - £14 per GB

* 120GB - £20 - £0.16p per GB

* 10GB - £20 - £2 per GB

* 200GB - £23 - $0.115p per GB

* Unlimited - £35

The total price of the cheapest contract is £6 cheaper than the next step up, which is 100 times cheaper per GB.
Because I don't want to waste the time of people who aren't interested in my ad in seeing my ad. It's a waste of money for me. The ad network will not be able to make money from having them click the ad. The user's time will be wasted because they are not interested in what I am selling. It's a lose lose lose situation. I want to create more win win win situations where everyone benefits. Tracking and profiling is needed to increase the rate that this happens.

Arguing that you can always just avoid Tencent in China is equivalent to standing under a tree to avoid the rain, then when it soaks through the leaves and makes you wet, saying “well I can always find another tree.”

Tencent is doing this verification because the law of the land in China says they have to. If other companies in China don’t employ the same measures, it’s only a matter of time before they will as well.
Maybe the candidate realizes they are in high demand and don't need to waste time.

I wont interview/apply at some notorious companies because I know I can get an equal offer without jumping through hoops.

So you lose out on the highest demand candidates and get the most desperate candidates.
How is the least expensive plan the best case scenario. The prices go down significantly per MB on larger plans.

I have been to towns up north with larger populations (one to two thousand people) and no cellular service. There are also towns where service means one tower to service the town itself, but no coverage outside of town.[1] I suspect the actual costs come from down south, where there is an expectation of coverage in lower density areas and along transportation corridors.

[1] It is also plausible they installed the tower to reduce the cost of phone service. There are cases where a microwave tower is necessary to deliver any communication service to the area, so the tower is already there to provide cellular service.

Defending the current state of San Francisco on the basis of not being as racially segregated on one measure as New York City sort of implies that it’s one or the other. If that’s not the implication, it’s irrelevant.
Right, but they specifically listed "automatic update phone-home" as something to be supressed too. As well as some other things that aren't ads; the proposal is about "telemetry" not just ads.

And the proponent of the standard got in an argument with homebrew about supporting the env variable. (Although not necessarily for suppressing automatic updates? Which might be a violation of the standard, to suggest you support it, but only support it incompletely?)

Perhaps the proposed standard needs some more consultation and fine-tuning (as is common with standards for a reason) before trying to strong-arm projects into adopting it.

How to Get Motivated to Lose Weight – Maiyro
You are mixing up two different definitions of "right". One is a legal term about what you are allowed to do or what can be done to you. That's what gp meant. And I agree that the only rights you have in that sense are ultimately those you are willing to fight and die for. If it can just be taken away it's not meaningfully fundamental, unalienable, or universal as a legal right.

The definition you used is about what's morally right and in that sense talking about fundamental rights that can't be taken away if you want to hold up some definition of human dignity makes sense, but even then it's subjective to some degree and depends on which school of thought you subscribe to.

Your example shows exactly this ditchomy. If freedom can be taken away and sexual consent ignored, those things can't be at fundamental or real as physical laws. But even so I have a hard time imagining most who see it this way would consider this as anything but reprehensible.
Huh, the first paragraph of that same wikipedia says the cloud extends to 2000 AU.

Either way, whenever I try to think about these things, I feel mild anxiety. Why am I here? What's the point of all this? I'M SO TINY! Aaaahhhhhhhhh! I probably need to lay off the sci-fi novels for a while.
I agree with you that inequality and “socialism for the rich” are real problems, but I don’t think they adequately explain the 5-year crime surge across the country, specifically inequality didn’t increase commensurate with this surge in the same time period.

Most likely this is the result of our flat-footed “defund the police!” rhetoric that manifest as either explicit de-policing policies or else as unofficial pressure on police to reduce preventative policing practices like routine stops. I don’t think anyone disputes this correlation even if they don’t subscribe to the causation hypothesis.

With respect to racial segregation, I know ordinary liberals and moderates are generally on board with increased integration but I’m not sure how that will hit the I-oppose-race-mixing-but-in-a-woke-way crowd, particularly in SF?
It's a bit dangerous to visualize Union like that, people might confuse it with concatenation which it's not.

You'll want to use "UNION ALL" if your intent is to concatenate the two sets of rows, and not to calculate the (deduplicated) union. If only because it's much faster if your database doesn't have to check for duplicates.
Thanks for that. Going to look into it. (In the hope it works on TV and also blocks ads)
> You can directly receive your salary from your employer... directly spend your money to a merchant... directly send to your landlord, etc etc

My point is that none of this is actually possible. My employer doesn't pay me in Bitcoin/etc, has no facility to right now, and would get into a lot of legal trouble if they didn't pay payroll taxes. I don't frequent any shops or online services that accept payment with cryptocurrencies. My landlord wants to be paid in GBP because that's what he's paying his mortgage in and he doesn't want the hassle and cost of conversion.

I get that these things are all possible when everyone has moved over to cryptocurrencies, but that's a huge chicken-and-egg problem, and I've yet to see a path from where we are now to this future world that is at all credible/accessible/legal/compliant/safe/cheap.
From reading the comments, it appears that most of the prices on this website are wrong for most people. They might be taking either the worst-case price or the least value data plan (500MB starter plans) instead of the average data plan.

These cost analyses are always popular for people to brag about how much cheaper their country's data plans or broadband speeds are, but I seriously doubt that many Canadian Redditors are paying $0.17 for every page load. Simply browsing the front page and clicking on a few comment sections could cost $10 or more. Doesn't pass the sniff test.

Because I didn't give them permission. I've no issue with anyone who willingly trades their privacy/digital footprint in return for services.

I don't want to. I will happily pay money for services I want. But, in all practical ways, the choice has been taken from me. It's impossible to have an online life without Google, Facebook, and myriad others hoovering up my every digital footstep.

And before someone says "ad-blockers" - I use them. And I decline cookie consent on every site I visit. It's tiresome, but I do it. Though even that marks me out: a signal in the noise. Even the act of trying to reject the surveillance economy helps that industry segment me.

It's obscene, and something needs done about it.

Better than welcoming them in through the front door like we have been doing until now.

It’s come to the point where we need to have a constant and sustain vocalisation against the CCP and the dystopian future they are building. They represent an existential threat to anything that isn’t the CCP and they’ve been very successful in getting their hooks into western society and the world at large. You see it on Reddit all the time. Moderators remove comments because it doesn’t follow some sort of vague guideline, about facts for example, when really it is removed because it is critical of the CCP. The cleverness of this is that it’s hard to prove. While I don’t believe there is direct censorship here on hackernews the above comment and reasoning by dang can be interpreted in the same way. None of the reasons dang gave were present in the comment that was replied to. CCP censorship is here now in western society directly and indirectly through self censorship to protect investments. Our short termism makes us very vulnerable to their bs.
> You are in the minority then. I personally have clicked on ads and have found products that I was interested in.

You don't happen to work in the industry? Because I know nobody who clicks on Ads. Maybe some of them do but they don't admit it which says a lot about doing it.

The only people I've ever met who said things like you did work for the advertisement industry since they're the only ones who believe that. They have to.

> I am not saying you should. Ads just allow people to get the word out about something.

How is this a justification for the intrusive, secretive and sometimes even abusive behaviour? There are other ways to "get the word out" out there. Healthy ways.

> This is a poor mindset. If you go to a public place are all of the people there violating your attention because you can see and hear them?

Sure they do if they jump right in front of my face and yell about some product I might be interested because I just came out of a shop and they've been watching me doing it and writing down how I look.
And it’s the same for banks in Canada..

Revolut had to quit the canadian market because of the cartel banks..
America doesn’t just have sales tax differences between counties! It can have sales tax differences between different parts of the same city, if they decide to set it up that way - usually as part of a Community Improvement District, or a Transit Development District, or what have you. The idea is that they built some infrastructure for retailers to take advantage of, and the retailers should add an extra 1% or so to pay for it.

This is one reason why applying sales tax to online purchases is such a pain, and helps favor the incumbents like Amazon.
Not quite correct. The condensed matter physicists do understand how they work. The problem is it's complicated so the "theory" they teach undergrads is dumbed down to be more palatable.

The sleight of hand comes in where, in the beginning, the "holes" are atoms in the substrate that have lost an electron which, by the time the hall effect appears, those holes are now moving but in the beginning they were stationary.

In fact, in semiconductor physics as taught, both the 'electron' and 'hole' are in fact quasi-particles and only tenuously connected to the electron of the standard model.
While certainly focused on larger vehicles, by all appearances Ford is much more exciting and innovative than its traditional domestic counterparts. The new electric F150, electric mustang, the Bronco series, etc. have all seemed to drum up quite the fanfare. I can’t say the same for GM.
"Does insurance pay out for shoplifting?" <- Yes and no. If you file a claim to the insurance company they will probably pay out. But they are trying to turn a profit too - if you are filing too many claims in a specific area they will just drop you.
Let's say you run a website with a sign on page. In order to log in a user typically you will run the password through an algorithm like argon2. Verifying a password for an account consumes CPU resources. A malicious may decide to DOS your site by just spamming this endpoint with bogus password to make you waste your time.

An easy fix with surveillance is to rate limit people based off their IP address. Without surveillance though there is not much you can do. Scale up your infrastructure to try and out scale the attack? Implement a global rate limit that locks regular users from being able to sign in?
I started writing a long comment about criteria for involuntary commitment... but then realized that it's probably not bipolar schizophrenics who do the shoplifting.
Problem is, you have no idea what people, not just kid would accidentally point their camera at. And you couple that with lay down position and a touch screen.

No need to mention capture imagery of a child (which the system would totally do, and kids will give it a try believe or not) without consent from their parent alone is problematic regardless it's accidental or not.

And above all, that system is useless to begin with. Think about following questions: 1) When do you verify? Before, during or after the game? 2) Do you have to verify at the spot at night? 3) How often do you re-verify?

BTW, there is an anti game addiction system already in place in China, which is based on photo ID (Resident ID card) verification. In my opinion, the system is doing well enough already even for today's kids.

If Tencent really care the addiction that much, maybe they should just shutdown the game server during the night.
The widespread practice of scalping has boosted sites like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. While not a “random person” per se,[a] you don’t know if that good you’re buying isn’t stolen. Some scalpers, however, will show you the store receipt to prove it’s a genuine scalp(?), and to allow you to return it if it’s defective.

[a]: They are a person you don’t know, but it’s not like a flea market where you can’t read reviews before handing over the money
Wild. Apparently there are many different efforts to use FPGAs to simulate old hardware:

Also in Italy the price is wrong, Iliad offers 120GB for 9.99€ + SIM ( 9.99€ ), considering the worst case scenario ( using the offer for 1 month only ). It become 19.98€ for 120GB:
19.98 / (120 * 1024) * 1.39 = 0,00022€, almost 2 orders of magnitude less than 0.01$ ( 0.008€ ) ( pre-paid price shown in the website ). Price can go further down if you keep the SIM for 1 year or more:
( 9.99 * 13 ) / ( 120 * 12 * 1024 ) * 1.39 = 0,00012€

The only thing required to buy a SIM is a passport so every foreigner can buy one.
So much better than the usual Venn diagram mess.

They may not be pooling risk, but they may be hiring actuaries to look at their past losses compared to similar businesses, and setting aside a reserve to cover expected future risk.

Good, clear explanation of these SQL joins. Works well as a quick way to mentally visualize what each join would do in your own implementation.

The site says they're using the least expensive plan with >500MB data for each country, presumably as a benchmark for what someone on a very limited budget would pay. Maybe that's a methodological problem though.

Unrelated, wow, thank you for reminding me how badly we're getting screwed in Canada :). Approximately $90 CDN here for a 15GB soft-cap with "unlimited" slow usage beyond that.
The site does explain its methodology.

By default, it shows the costs when using the cheapest post-paid plan with at least 500MB allowance for at least 30 days – cheapest in absolute terms, not per GB.

You can toggle the option to show prepaid plans with the same parameters (at least 500 MB for at least 30 days).

But since it takes data from the ITU and not from the real market, the numbers do indeed seem inflated. One of the cheapest (in absolute terms) prepaid plans for mobile internet in Germany is AldiTalk at 4€/1GB/4 weeks, so that the pageload should cost even less than 1ct (0.0056 EUR). Similarly, your Telekom plans are for 4 weeks. Maybe they've excluded these plan because it's not for at least 30 days.

Friendliness is another dynamic I’ve been totally surprised by. People waving and saying hi while you’re walking. The McDonalds cashier telling my wife she liked her dress. Kids on the playground seeing my son fall and coming over to help him up and see if he’s okay.
Such data can be combined with other bits of information to uniquely identify me on the web. And there may be other facts about me and my online activity that I don't want third parties to associate with my identity.

That’s basically what self-insured is. Large employers offer health insurance but they aren’t pooling risk with other companies, they just pay all expenses.

Insurance is meant to protect against catastrophic loss. If a loss isn’t catastrophic, it’s often cheaper to just pay for the loss yourself.
