If assessing the consequences of climate change from the point of view of a human (which everybody should do) seems to make you think that I am a humanist, then yes, I am. Climate change won't destroy the planet. Climate change won't destroy every single species living on it. But climate change will destroy us. We're taking actions against climate change to save humans, not to save animals or the flora. Pretending the contrary is hypocritical.
Yes. Unfortunately, I'm way too aware of this problem. As far as I'm concerned, it's the biggest problem facing government acquisitions, the fact that any provider's "customer" is always an acquisition office and not its actual users. It's even worse for IC enterprise services, because only your acquisition office has any say in what you prioritize for work and they're the only group of people in the government you're authorized to talk to, but then when you release something, any one of potentially hundreds of external stakeholders can all veto you from going into ops, but you can't solicit their feedback during development.
>And why do healthcare costs differ so wildly?

Healthcare costs vary because labor, land, utility, legal, and other costs vary by location (especially legal as that is subject to many states' laws and judicial systems).

Health insurance premiums vary because the risk pools for the insurance that individuals can buy via healthcare.gov are separated for each state. There is the federal law, ACA, but on certain states have more rules that distribute the healthcare costs even more to young/healthy people. See this page for some examples:

https://www.valuepenguin.com/how-age-affects-health-insuranc...

And in general, the administration and regulation of insurance pricing is on a state level too, so there might simply be variance due to that.
Is this a joke? Is the existing infrastructure built by countless geniuses in C not working at all? Do you think inexperienced programmers could build it given a "safer instrument"? How many junior devs understand intricacies of basic OS-level locking, not mentioning Paxos and other scary algorithms whose formal correctness can't be even proven in theory?
Honestly, even taking psilocybin is basically just another "fix you" pill for what I'm convinced is a deeply serious societal problem we keep refusing to address.
I think that's what antimonopoly laws are for. As a Russia citizen, mobile and internet prices in supposedly more technologically advanced countries just blow my mind.
Wow. That's a lot.

I'm not sure how to replicate this but I would be curious what old.reddit.com does via an equivalent methodology.
It is due to the way it is calculated.

> "Prices were collected from the operator with the largest marketshare in the country, using the least expensive plan with a (minimum) data allowance of 500 MB over (a minimum of) 30 days. Prices include taxes. Because these numbers are based on the least expensive plan, they are best case scenarios."

I disagree that it is necessarily the "best case" but it is a sensible way to count. Depending on the specific offering you may get unexpected results. For example, the 500MB plan may be barely cheaper than a 10GB plan, which can make sense if with that 500MB you are mostly paying for phone calls and SMS. Heavy internet users will most likely pick a plan with much more data that will be more expensive per month, but way cheaper per byte.

Also, it is split into two section: prepaid and postpaid, and Canada is at $0.07 postpaid. They just picked the highest number on the list.
I like that you find that weird.

Apologies, I wasn't specific enough in expressing what I meant.

You understood it to mean "they didn't know what they were doing and got lucky", which is a valid interpretation but not what I was going for. They definitely do know what they're doing.

What I meant was more along the lines of "the metric to optimize for was no longer strongly correlated to the original goal of improving the user experience. They were lucky that in this scenario optimizing for the metric aligned with an improved user experience."
I relate to this a lot. reddit.com struggles to load on my MacBook Air 2015, or a Windows with 9th gen i5 with 8GB RAM.

They made a change at some point (2017?) so as not to show movie ratings. I figured the reason was to give low rated movies a chance because I won't necessarily dislike a movie with IMDB rating 5.2/10. I've seen excellent movies with rating < 6.0 and lousy movies with rating > 7.5 It's just that my taste sometimes doesn't match with IMBD users.

Chesa and his predecessor Gascon were not just trying out the “let’s not put people in jail” to see if it works, this is a core tenant of their political beliefs and if the population at large has to pay a price, so be it. This is not a slight adjustment to the justice system, this is a “burn it down and build something else” approach - an attempt to dismantle a system, they claim, is built on systemic racism. If a couple of law-abiding citizens get run over and killed by a repeated offender in a stolen car, then that’s a sacrifice Chesa is willing to make.

So to answer your question, there is no compromise because compromise would be admitting failure - that these policies don’t work. And also admitting that putting some people in jail is a net benefit to society.

I think I have the same plan as you (Free 10G-EPON + 5G ?), I've seen lots of posts about broadband / mobile subscription and while prices do seems a bit higher than in Europe what shocks me the most is data caps on home internet.
You can replace reddit.com with teddit.net and have a much lighter UI.
It's interesting to see the rationalization.

"Just don't use it, plus good phone habits"

What about value added uses for the phone? I looked up how to harvest basil today and watched a 60 second YouTube video. Or reading an encyclopedia. Or fixing a car.

None of those are bad phone habits. And those previously mentioned don't necessarily have the luxury of wifi.
If you pick fresh this may be a good idea.

When you buy dried shrooms, it's not easy to tell what one fruit is because they shrivel up and break easily. Some sellers break them up deliberately - if some fruits are more potent than others, then by mixing them, the total psilocybin content is more likely to be similar in every package they sell.

Interestingly, some vendors sell "mushroom pills" and "mushroom chocolate bars," where they do this on a bigger scale - mill the mushrooms down into powder form and then thoroughly mix the powder to give an even distribution. The idea then is that each piece of chocolate in the bar contains the same amount of psilocybin - and with some trial and error taste testing, they can recommend how many pieces of chocolate to have for the desired effect. This also doesn't give you the same nausea you typically get by eating the dried mushrooms directly, which might give you a better trip.

At this point in history, I thought certain webites would be paying consumers to visit their site. Yes--literally paying us to view in credits, paypal, or bitcoin.

It wold be nice to see Facebook offering a few pennies for the marketing data we pay to give them. It would be nice to be paid for high ranking comments too. Say for instance, a guy writes a researched answer to a question on Reddit, and it blew up. Reddit would pay pay that individual a few dimes. The quality of comments would probally increase? Maybe less bathroom humor, and real thoughtful answers?

Could anyone imagine if we got a bill at the end of the month detailing what we pay per website/download incident?

You went to facebook 40 times, at a bandwidth, or percentage you pay us, at a cost of $6.00

You went to Reddit 30 times, at a cost of $3.00

LGBTQ folks probably have fewer children than the average. The demographic challenges we face are in scaling services to support the global population. So wouldn't freedom of gender expression, if anything, make things easier?

Assuming that queer people will somehow take over the world and cause an unsustainable birth rate sounds a bit like the right-wing "gay agenda" conspiracy theory. Not to mention that people born with a vagina can have a male gender identity and still get pregnant, and some trans women can get others pregnant. Sex != gender. Also because gender identity isn't just a lifestyle choice, it's not like all the straight people will somehow get converted.

Use of frameworks is often blamed for bloat, but the two are completely independent.

React is about 110kB. Vue is 33kB. It's perfectly possible (and really not that hard) to write fast, small web apps with the big popular JS frameworks. It's the thoughtless stuff people do—pulling in huge libraries for tiny features, mandating the use of huge analytics packages, etc—that cause the bloat.

Whether it should all just be server-rendered is a whole other argument, but if you're going to build something the size and scale of reddit as a client-rendered app, you'd be crazy to not use one of the existing frameworks IMO. If for no other reason than you're likely to end up just re-creating a worse version of them.
> It wasn't just another document; it was linked with the planning and execution of violence (...)

No, not really. That's a very convenient story but an outright fabrication. Greta Thunber's document clearly did not laid out any plot. Greta's doc provide suggestions on how to protest the upcoming agriculture reform law, and the persecuted activist was jailed for editing two lines.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-56068522

Moreover, the activist was arrested and accused of "wage economic, social, cultural and regional war against India", which quite clearly screams of the doingd of a fascist regime dedicated to oppress their citizens if they propose any form of criticism of the ruling regime.

> btw, while working on the document her WhatsApp messages with Gretta also showed that she knew that she could get into trouble.

The lack of self-awareness and desperation in your comment is very telling. I mean, of course she was concerned she could be persecuted: India's ruling regime is so oppressive that goes to the extent of charging people who edit two lines of a doc with sedition and waging war on India.

The problem is that if a person wants to learn how to deal with it legally, they have no other possibility than to come to a place like Amsterdam.

Wouldn't the solution rather be for Amsterdam to create a "newbie coffee shops" or something similar?

1. Create safe newbie-friendly places that provide an opportunity to safely experience a legal drug X.

2. Mandate that for a foreigner to buy a legal drug X, they must have an ID-like document that says they are experienced with X.

3. Once a tourist experiences X in a newbie-friendly place, they award him/her with an ID-like document that enables the tourist to buy X on their own.

Surely that create more jobs and opportunities in Amsterdam than the "bug off!" rhetoric I've seen from the local Amsterdam government.
Who Is the Nesher Ramla Homo?
I assume its something like numbeo. Thing is with this kind of data there is always a local and a tourist price. In many countries (especially Europe) you can not always buy a prepaid SIM card with a foreign passport (without extra hoops at least) or you need a real residence address.

So these prices often reflect the few options that are (visibly) available for tourists.
Aside from the fact you generally need licenses to practice these professions, an additional challenge is you need lab equipment that may be expensive, regulated, or dangerous to acquire, to actually practice doing anything. I can't see any practical way to self-practice civil engineering in particular. Nobody is going to let you build a test bridge. Universities provide lab facilities for you to do this kind of thing.

CS is the outlier because the only lab equipment you need is a used laptop or a Raspberry Pi and Internet access.

Granted, computational engineering where you can just simulate the lab has come a long way, but even there, you generally need a lot of compute power if you don't want your simulation of a bridge to take 3 months to run.

There is low limit plans, just only on the sub-brands of the big 3. They all operate multiple MVNOs with a low-end tier like Lucky Mobile and Public Mobile, a mid-tier brand like Virgin (in Canada completely run by Bell Canada, only license name and logo), Fido and Koodo. These cheaper brands have cheaper plans like 5GB for $50 or 1GB for $25. But they are also artificially locked out on features. You can't have an Apple Watch on the low end brands, there's no visual voice-mail support, no RCS, etc. Phone choice is limited although that's less of an issue than it was.

Yeah, that was my point. And the word 'pain' actually reminded me of cluster headaches, which are treated with psilocybin exceptionally well.

It's just that under the topic of this thread, well assume posts are about diagnosed depression.
How much signal is there in that 1.3MB though? We don't think about the weight of websites much nowadays because we have insane bandwidth, but how much of that is actual content?

You mean item 17.

I would argue that the restoration is way more valuable than the original in this case. The original is a decently executed yet run-of-the-mill iconography with nothing remarkable about it. The restoration is a unique world-famous piece of art that draws thousands of visitors each year (before the pandemic) to see it.
Privileges accorded by whom?

If Hitler came to power, let's say in an election but it doesn't matter since the right to vote is also a privilege according to your view, and said "alright, henceforth, all blacks lose the privilege of living", would you find that irrefutable and in conformity with your own logic? If Jeffrey Epstein took power and said "children may now be raped at will", is that a matter of a privilege being cancelled? Does "might make right" however you define "might"?

I certainly hope not.
These prices are batshit insane.

Here you get 20GB for 20 euro on prepaid with unlimited calling (which I never use at all - all my calls are on Whatsapp etc :') ). Or 5GB for 10 euro. I use the 20 euro plan as my 4G backup for when my fibre goes down and I worked a whole week off the 20GB during the first lockdown when there was such an issue (I do shut down some stuff like steam downloads and netflix with a script on my router when it's on failover). It really saved my bacon. The good thing about it is that it's even prepaid so I can just load money up on it when I need it.

Strange thing is, we have 3 mobile operators here too (not counting the many MVNOs). Shouldn't be a barrier to decent competition. If you have more than 3 the available radio spectrum starts getting diluted anyway.

In India, it costs me 7.43 USD for 84 days of 1.5GiB high-speed 4g data per day (plus unlimited calling). After that it drops of to a lower speed, but you can top off cheaply.

That's $0.058 per GiB or $0.00005 per MiB

You're understating the complexity a bit here, I think. For instance, what's VAT on a loaf of bread, vs a bagel, vs a croissant? (I don't actually know for Germany, but in Ireland a loaf of bread is zero-rated, as is a bagel, but a croissant is reduced-rate, but for a period of around a year a few years back a bagel was also reduced-rate...)

The US gets its tax complexity from regionalism, and Europe gets it from baroque VAT rules. It's debatable which is worse :)

Why psychedelics help some people and not others is one of the most interesting open research questions.

Still, there are ways that you can maximize your chances of getting therapeutic benefit out of psychedelics.

Doing psychedelics with a trained psychedelic therapist that you like, respect, and trust is probably the most effective way.

Something else you can do is read some good guides like James Fadiman's The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide[1] and the MAPS Treatment Guide for MDMA Assisted Psychotherapy[2]
