I think if it's genuinely helping people, that's all that matters to me. Everything can't be a big deal to everyone.

LSD works just fine as a party drug. Also works great if you want to use to write 600 lines of harsh self reflection and make a change in your life.

I trust people to tell me how they're feeling about it, for the most parts. It definitely doesn't feel like homeopathics or a placebo, but we'll see what the studies come out saying...
That is somewhat true of exotic panels that nobody uses for utility-scale power, but it's not a necessary outcome of disconnecting a source from the grid. It doesn't have to be disconnected from everything. When removed from the grid, they can just be shorted.
Great list. Lots of stuff that is repeated a lot on HN. Another one is: "biometrics are usernames, not passwords". The reality is they are neither usernames nor passwords. They are something else.

> I don't think scihub is the future. OpenAccess is the future.

It seems you are claiming that the future isn't making all scientific content available, period - but rather only that content whose copyright holders have decided to make available.

I whole-heartedly disagree. We must not submit to arbitrary restrictions on the copying of information; and we certainly cannot and should not wait for Elsevier, Springer, IEEE et alia to grace us with access to articles.

Also - if "Open Access" means authors have to pay a large wad of money to have their papers published - that's not tolerable either.

Also, at least in my country (Australia), Rick and Morty was censored (bleeps every 15 seconds) on Netflix, so I pirated it for a better experience.
Perhaps too off topic, but given how easy it is get get opiates from poppy 'milk' - as shown from the original unpublished article - I've wondered why we don't see more of it from fairly tame occasional use like Pollan to addicts going around scoring and milking poppy bulbs in the neighborhood.

Poppies seem to grow really easily in a lot of places. You don't have to be a fancy chemist to just smoke or shoot the gunk.

Is there any reason to think the money he made and is now giving away came mainly from the US? AFAICT there are a lot more users of Microsoft software outside the USA than within them. With that in mind: Yes, it seems rather ludicrous to demand that he use it for charity exclusively there.

Another reason being that the US is one of the richest countries in the world -- and therefore, logically, among the least in need of charity. (BTW, this shows the objection is ridiculous even if his fortune came mainly from the USA: If he had made his money from selling some luxury article, say Rolls-Royce cars or something, and then decided to spend the money so earned on charity -- should he have been expected to spend it only on helping the kind of people who buy Rolls-Royces?)

Both screamingly obvious reasons IMO, so I find it somewhat surprising that anyone needed to be curious about this.
And what was the legislation? How was it monopolistic in favor of physicians?

The AMA does not really represent physicians. Less than 1/4 of doctors belong to the AMA. Many of them do not feel the AMA represents them. The AMA also accepts substantial donations from other sources, including corporate donors and foundations.

I looked over both of those linked posts as well as the the links provided by a Google search and still couldn't find a single statute that Uber was unambiguously violating.
I love how conservatives still make this argument. You're arguing for the free market in a system that literally isn't, and doing it in such a way that it tries to be a thought-terminating cliche.

If you get into a car accident tomorrow driving to work, the ambulance/paramedics aren't going to ask you to do your research prior to shuttling you to a hospital to get life saving treatment. Even if you could how would you be able to tell which hospital has what price structure, what services you'll actually need given your medical condition, and what arrangements they have with various drug manufacturers and how that relates to what you require to help your condition. Save it.. "no one to blame but yourself" is so incredibly idiotic is comical.

Take something even more benign, like someone falling and breaking/straining something. Wanna still do your research first? Is it a sprain, fracture, break? How do you know? Is it clear cut? What pain medication will you need? Will you require surgery? What lab work will you need? How many tests will you need? X-rays? CAT scan? MRI? What kind of surgeon? How many nurses? Will you require blood? Whats the recovery like? What about follow up visits? Do you expect us all to practice free market principles and know all that crap in advance for price discovery before deciding to seek treatment?

True free market principles require an asymmetry of information for the system to work, and even "fathers" of the theory understood that and acknowledge the need for regulation when its absent.
That makes sense if he was a convert to Buddhism, because Buddhism in the West is marketed as a treatment for anxious people.
I'm really sorry you went through that, for what it's worth <3

Stay safe.
The main risks of doing 5-MeO-DMT alone are:

1 - you can vomit and choke on your own vomit while being completely out of your body and without any consciousness of the outside world or bodily control

2 - some people move around a lot on it, while being effectively unconscious of the world around them... this can cause them to hit their head or otherwise injure themselves

So it's much safer to have someone watching over you.. someone who is trained to put you in to the recovery position if you start vomiting, and to otherwise keep you physically safe.
I never make a secret of my age, but I am also not looking for a job.

Corporations are obviously terrified of us oldsters. Not 100% sure I know all the reasons.

I was just reading another HN front page story, about this poor woman that was fired for not writing an app that really required an experienced engineer.

Lot of that, going around. Wonder why?
You're right, jQuery alone, even when it was all the rage, wasn't enough for a frontend application.

Backbone, Marionette, eventually Angular and all the rest were huge improvements. You needed a message passing / routing framework, and the new frameworks have consolidated that and improved on it.

Older developers are sometimes more conservative. Sorry. And age leads to cognitive decline. Reality is reality. I'm an older engineer, and even if things are stacked against me, I'm ok with that. It's a consequence of the brutal shift in cultural education around the craft. I hope more creative individuals flourish.
If you are a software company, then paying market rate for quality developers is table stakes. It is an expensive market to operate in and you care competing with very well funded global competition.

Most small business are not that. If you are running a tailoring business, or an ice cream shop, or a landscaping, you probably don't need a senior developer. Heck, you might not need to hire any developers at all. As long as you have someone technically inclined, you can probably manage your digital presence well enough without it being anyone's full time job.

IMO so much of age bias is because so many people are in terrible physical shape as they age.

If you are visibly in really good shape, I think you get a bias in your favor as an older person.

Not really an age bias but a perfectly rational probability of a lack of energy bias.
Asking for a citation is asking for bad manners? Normally, if you posit something, it's on you to back it up, or admit it's pure anecdote or impression. I don't see how asking for a piece of information that's claimed to exist somewhere in the world is disrespectful.

Also, I did look it up. None of the articles I saw specifically called out laws Uber was guilty of breaking as a corporate entity, instead they all reference grey area behavior and use words like 'skirting' or 'undermining.'

Now that you mention the sound, I always had this question: was the GBA sound system any good? My understanding is that the GBA only has the original GB sound chip plus two PCM channels, without any dedicated hardware synthesis or mixing, so all sound effects need to run on software. Now the CPU was so much faster than the SNES or Megadrive, but was it fast enough to make up for it?
Hm looks like an interesting approach, to let the user configure what symbols to use for what kind of markup. However, using a bunch of regexes reminds me of painful regex writing for Atom, Sublime and GEdit (or was it Geany?) syntax highlighting. It was never really easy to make it work correctly, without disregarding some edge cases. For most users it will probably mean to use a popular config and that's it.

EDIT: From the readme:

> Let's be real here, org and markdown have several flaws - ambiguity (tons of it), ugly syntax and the requirement for complex parsers.

Aside from the fact, that I do not think org has ugly syntax, I think an actual parser is way better than having to rely on putting everything into regexes. It makes the code easier to maintain.

Same here, and I've found it's a good way to tell apart decent security researchers/consultants from those that just blindly run their tools and send the results. If I get a report that my app is vulnerable because it uses sha1, and it's obvious that collision resistance doesn't matter at all in the context where sha1 is used, then I know the reporter can be ignored.
The problem with programming is almost never the lack of smartness. It's almost always the opposite: People being too clever.

The sane thing in a realistic scenario is to ban all usage of memset and add a diagnostic to use memset_s, like any responsible programmer should do with strcpy. Then however, was it really wise to make this machinery, that the people who need it the most are most likely to not have, necessary? I really, really don't think so.

\Edit: Here is some code written by a very smart person, Niels Fugerson. I think (not sure) it tries to wipe sensive material from memory and gets it wrong. Really not sure, tho.

> The food analogy is shitty because you know what I do when McDonalds takes burgers off of their menu? I go to the grill next door to get my burger.

You don't pull a tantrum on an Internet forum about how you are now forced to hire an anon crew to get into a McDonald's warehouse to get your Mac Something ? Indeed you just go to another service provider to see if they have the Mac Something or something else to satisfy your palates. (sorry I kept the food analogy going).

> and if I've purchaced a streaming service explicitly because of Startrek then I'm going to feel like I was cheated.

Read the lines on the contract. No one is cheated. Especially for the price you are paying by the way. Netflix is still a rental service. (fun fact: Netflix doesn't even have full international rights on its own productions, see: orange is the new black, arrested development).

> You can argue until heat death of the universe whose fault it is, but in the mean time if there is no way of legaly watching the content piracy is the only way.

I will argue until heat death that SG1 content owners are not forcing people to pirate their content. It's just hard cold facts. You may not like it because you feel like you are entitled to it or that it doesn't matter much that no one gets hurt or it's stupid or whatever, that's not really the point. The point is that they are not forcing you. It's on you when you decide to go torrent hunting, launch a DCC+, get popcorn, whatever.

> if there is no way of legaly watching the content piracy is the only way

Doesn't mean you are entitled to it or that you are forced to do it. No one is forcing you to pirate SG1 or Star Trek Voyager. It's entirely on you, own up your actions.

I am not saying you should or shouldn't, I am not questioning the morality of it. All I am saying is "nobody forced you".

> (and importing expensive DVDs in an erra where literally none of my devices have optical bays is not actual option)

Again, that's on you. Not content owner's fault that you don't have a DVD player.

Now let's take a step forward. Imagine you pirated off those SG1 episodes. But then you get a letter from copyright holders and a fine from whatever judicial instances in your country manages these kind of things.

You don't want to pay the fine, you go to courts.

Do you believe for an instant arguments like "I pirated those episodes because they were not available anymore on Netflix, they basically forced my hand ; promised, once they are back up I'll subscribe again to Netflix" will fly ?

These are not basic problems. We're talking about scientific papers, not deeds to a piece of land or something.

How do you know the paper photo-copy you have of an article is what was published? You don't 100% know, you make a reasonable assumption.

The exceptional case of needing integrity verification can have a niche solution.
On the whole we are less likely to advantage taken of from a less need to prove yourself.

It might be 0.000000000001% but it need not be, right? That's kind of the point. I'm pretty sure I could write you a program where the probability of observing that would be (say) 50% without the optimization, and with the optimization that would go to 0%, defeating the program. Should that be allowed?

This is basically a statistical/probabilistic version of another problem: should a compiler be allowed to change the time complexity of an algorithm? If I write linear search, and the compiler proves the list is sorted, should it be allowed to switch to binary search—or vice-versa? Traditionally the answer might be 'yes', but it's not exactly hard to argue an answer of 'no' might also be desirable in a number of situations. Now in this case, it's not the time complexity that's changing, but the statistical properties of the program... and while in some cases it might be negligible (1E-10 or what have you), that's not necessarily the case, at which point a difference in degree really can become a difference in kind.
So can you provide that counter example? It is hard if not impossible to agree with you if you don't say what it is you disagree with exactly.

I agree that surely there can be many people who disagree with my statements. But that is trivial and not very interesting. The question is why or how they disagree with it.
To remove 5 lines in VSCode I would just type cmd-backspace 5 times. Don’t even have to count the number of lines beforehand. Just delete lines until it looks as you wanted. Much simpler than the complex process you describe, that involves counting lines and moving the cursor to the exact correct position.

As always, I am unimpressed by “vim tricks” that vim people always boast about. And I am yet to see a single real use case where vim is faster than good old basic keyboard shortcuts (that includes cmd-d)
The problem of evil arises when all three of the following are true: 1) the deity is omniscient; 2) the deity is omnipotent; 3) the deity is omnibenevolent. If God knows all, can do all, and is all good, why does evil exist?

If any of those conditions is not true, the existence of evil is a lot easier to explain:
- omniscient and omnipotent, but not 100% morally good
- omniscient and omnibenevolent, but has limited power to change the bad things
- omipotent and omnibenevolent, but isn't aware that evil exists

It's only when someone's making the claim that all three are true at the same time that it starts to get interesting, because some of the arguments get really hokey.

So to address your observation that there's an implicit assumption that one god exists, I would wager a guess that it's because polytheistic religions don't wade into the waters of theodicy much (if at all), as they don't deal in "omni-'s" to the same extent as monotheistic religions tend to.
I like to use make as it's available everywhere. I use Makefiles with podman to create images, containers, pods, start, stop them and display logs.
