I've done a little research (only a little) into cannabis and health, and not surprisingly (due to legal complications), it's difficult to get very specific answers when you drill down into specific use patterns.

For instance, I read a study that people who use cannabis 4 or more days a week experience certain harmful psychological and physical effects. I get it, and I haven't read the full study, only the mainstream press overview... but right off the bat, think about a study that describes people who "use" alcohol 4 days a week. This includes people who drink one beck's "ultra premium light" 2.3%ABV every day and people who drink a fifth of bourbon a day or worse. It wouldn't make any sense for the beck's drinker to infer much from this study.

The state of cannabis research seems very limited - again, there's a good reason for this. But what does it mean to "use" cannabis. There are CBD heavy strains that have ~3%THC, and strains that exceed 30%TCH. How much do you smoke?

Someone who takes, say, 3 drags of low THC weed twice a week is smoking the equivalent of less than cigarette every two weeks. And the psychoactive effect is likely very, very mild.

I'm also learning (post-legalization markets) that the scenario I described above is becoming quite common, so I don't think it's an edge case anymore, even if it isn't the norm.

Ultimately, unless someone describes the kind of cannabis and the frequency and dose, I can't get much out of these stories or even the more formal research.

I don't feel this is the right answer. Patents are very time-consuming. Lawsuits (esp against big players) are something most startups can't afford.
A lot of major tech/game companies have been kowtowing to Chinese policies.
There is no difference. You use Tesla's patents and Tesla can use yours. Nobody will take it to court to test this out. Tesla will always come out ahead anyways as Tesla's revenue and production numbers are just too small compared to other automakers. Tesla's patents also don't seem very relevant as there are plenty of other EV models on the market now, so why risk it?
You can also request that you obtain total control over the project (not hosted by google, not copyrighted by google) but those requests are hard to get approved.

This is about _distribution_.
Tabacco is particularly problematic though, esp the radioactivity.
This would normalize extraterritorial direct action on both sides. Yes, Russia assassinates people in the UK with nerve agents. But if the USA follows the suggestion you proposed above, Russia will respond with regular direct action on American soil to target people they're interested in.

Plus the USA has enough control over global financial systems and extraditions from third party countries that the US government can make life difficult for individuals if they ever want to travel outside of Russia, spend/store money outside of Russia, or buy things directly from companies that are outside of Russia.

USA can do these things without inviting potential assassinations within its borders.

IIRC a significant drop did occur over the past year or so due to covid.
Because it would be a major inconvenience for me, that's why.

Update:

I'm getting a lot of criticism here.

If your aim is to try to get me to actually make the switch, then the approach you are taking is counter-productive. Instead, I guess you are doing what most people do when faced with something they disapprove of: they do the thing that is easiest and most satisfying, which is to criticize or punish the other person, and to pat themselves on the back for being better.

But criticizing people just isn't an effective way to change people's minds or behavior.

What would work in this case? Showing them a path forward.

In this case, I presented a real problem, that it would be a major inconvenience to switch. That is the truth. I don't live in some idealized fantasy world, where I can take actions for free.
No, this is just an extension of their policy on covid misinformation.
You’re correct, you cannot enforce a non-compete on your average engineer, it has to be some specialist function.
As I mentioned elsewhere one of the big parts of this is a ban on encryption and heavy regulations on spread spectrum. Obviously a sufficiently capable person could implement these trivially but it hampers mass adoption. If nobody has encryption and jam resistance before a revolution, for sure nobody is going to after one starts as the types of portable radios we're talking about are not particularly modifiable.

Saying "all the experts" think it may actually be true is a big stretch. It's far more accurate to say that the experts haven't ruled it out. But they still think natural origin is far more likely[1].

Youtube is still populated by actual conspiracy Qnuts. Much of the YouTube active discussion is right leaning, look to the comment sections.

Google isn't trying to arbiter truth, it's a combination of doing what China tells them to do and not being the arbiter of truth by removing almost anything related to covid. Simply discussing it can get you demonitized or your video removed.
The road to hell is paved with "good intentions". We desperately need to find a globally adoptable alternative to google and the services that it provides. Docs, Sheets, Drive, etc. are fantastic services in that they work really well on a massive scale. However, Google's increasing role as an arbiter of right vs wrong and a steward of information puts too much power into the hands of one corporation, whose best interests are provably not aligned with that of the general population.

I've been working as a SWE at google (in ads...) for over two years and I've really started to loathe it over the past year. The pay is fantastic and it's really hard to walk away from that, but the idea that they are not (or at least no longer) contributing to the better world that I think we need, has started to weigh heavier and heavier on me...

We should be able to implement services like these, that are free of ads, on globally distributed infrastructure, with no central authority, to have truly free-flowing information.

How the hell is it "revolutionary" to offer a life-saving product for $70. It's free here in Canada. This is nothing more than a PR play -- if they weren't also able to turn a profit on it, they wouldn't have done it.
> Who gets to define 'misleading and/or confusing'? Google? A court case?

They claim that anything "misleading" is "includes information [...] that contradicts official government records."

This is a wildly Orwellian way to dictate "truth" : it's whatever the government body says is true. (1984 _literally_ has a "Ministry of Truth")

Authorities can be wrong, and can _themselves_ be incentivized to mislead. Why place the center on them vs. individual responsibility?

Helping people understand, weigh, and index information and sources is an important problem - but solving it in this way is _absolutely not_ the right way to do it.

EDIT: spelling & grammar
Oh no no, i was just worried that JWT would actually not be able to do a deep field 2.0. im very curious on potentially higher details on this and mentioning that JWT and Hubble use different wavelength (or JWT might be able to do more?) would have meant that JWT wouldn't be able to do the same as Hubble in regards of a deep field.

At the heart of his argument:

In practice, the forced revelation of information makes individual privilege and power more important. When everyone has to play with their cards on the table, so to speak, then people who feel like they can be themselves without consequence do so freely -- these generally being people with support groups of like-minded people, and who are neither economically nor physically vulnerable. People who are more vulnerable to consequences use concealment as a method of protection: it makes it possible to speak freely about controversial subjects, or even about any subjects, without fear of harassment.

(A classic experiment which you can easily replicate is to change your profile photo to that of a young woman for a few weeks. Change nothing else, even your name, and see what happens to your interaction pattern. I've seen quite a few people run this test and the results are, shall we say, quite visible)

GamerGate is one example after another of why transparency has asymmetric effects. The worst-case consequence for members of the mobs is fairly minimal: they won't face social ostracism by their friends (who after all, support them), they are highly unlikely to be placed in any physical danger (the police will protect them), and their jobs are not likely to be affected either -- and if they are, they can find others. Conversely, the threats against women in the field were physical and real, and (as you'll see if you ever experience the real ability of local and federal law enforcement to deal with harassment and threat cases, for manifold reasons) there is reason to believe that they do not have access to adequate police protection.

Of course it's not purely benevolent. Walmart is a business and this is a business move.

> A vial of analog insulin costs something like $6-7 to produce, probably less at Walmart scale. The distribution costs probably make the net cost somewhere still in the $7-10 range.

Don't forget the R&D costs of getting a generic drug approved and setting up the manufacturing. It may cost <$10 to produce at scale, but getting there isn't free.

Hopefully Walmart's pricing trends downward toward the $25/vial price of regular insulin.

Actually, I hope this move spurs more chain pharmacies to start developing their own analogs, furthering competition in the space. Race to the bottom would be great.
I said that almost "all the experts" agree that it may be true, not that they necessarily believe it to be so.
If civilization as we know it ends but humanity survives it would be very difficult for future generations to reestablish because we've used up all the easy to access hydrocarbons.

> tacking on steep consideration for exercising the NCC (as well as hard limit on it)

Now I'm mid-career, employers want to hire me for my experience.

If presented with a non-complete clause, I first strike it out, saying it isn't fair that you stop me working in my core area of expertise, when you're hiring me for exactly that reason.

If that gets refused, I instead add a clause that says any period where the non-compete is enforced will be paid at my full salary.

In practice, there ends up being a short discussion with HR, some thinking behind the scenes, and that clause is allowed. And when I eventually leave, the non-compete period ends up being waived.

39-year-old admitted to the hospital with unexpected heart failure? Is there more to this story? Is this possibly related to the myocarditis being reported with some mRNA reactions?
you comment would be more acceptable without the use of "kowtowing".
The full paragraph for reference:

> Misleading content related to civic and democratic processes: Content that is demonstrably false and could significantly undermine participation or trust in civic or democratic processes. This includes information about public voting procedures, political candidate eligibility based on age / birthplace, election results, or census participation that contradicts official government records. It also includes incorrect claims that a political figure or government official has died, been involved in an accident, or is suffering from a sudden serious illness.
Impartiality is just one in a long line of canceled google products.

I report a lot of phishing sites but it gets very annoying very quickly.
As well as reporting to SafeBrowsing, etc. for each site you also need to look up the domain registrar and hosting provider (via WHOIS) and email them.

Rather than do this manually every time, I wrote a small CLI to automate the lookups and even open pre-templated emails: https://github.com/bradleyjkemp/abwhose

I'm now redoing this as a web app so that I can do the entire reporting process without leaving the browser: https://phish.report

Kinda fun trying to "speedrun" the process down to as few clicks as possible. And I'm pretty pleased with how fast I've gotten the process.

Now I'm looking to add some more account/user features e.g. a history of sites you've submitted.
Perhaps some stats on how many times you've been the first to report a given site.
Not to give too much credit - but, as a fact, the US has been getting better at targeted sanctions. It's the preferred model these days - from Russia to Iran to Honk Kong - specific officials are embargoed and their assets blocked or seized.

FYI rclone is a great cli tool that can let you easily pull all content out of a Google drive and push it to several different easily configured backends, or store locally.

It can also be used to encrypt all content on your drive, presumably hiding content from big brother, but also making it useless for sharing.
I imagined this at first too and was confused because a wider piano makes no sense. The 88s keys already cover almost the entire range of human hearing. Adding just one more octave (a few keys below and above the range) would basically cover it all.

Of course, you could argue that there is merit to having low keys whose fundamental is below human hearing because the overtones would still be audible. But that seems to be of pretty limited use to me.
> Valve are a lot more serious about Linux support though, going as far as employing graphics driver developers.

> GOG (and CDPR) on the other hand can't even be bothered to port their own client and games.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure GOG has a hell of a lot less money than Valve. They don't benefit from any of the gambling-mechanics or multiplayer game "bling" sales that bring in so much of Valve's money, aside from having a much smaller share of PC game sales than Valve does. Valve's got to be way more profitable plus have much higher income, so have the margin to play with stuff like this—which is in their interest, because the weaker alternative operating systems are, the more Valve operates only at the pleasure of Microsoft.

Ok, so zram is the magic "memory grower". That's orthogonal to the kernel patch and not really swapless like in the patch description. One of my low end Linux phones uses zram. The phone is slow under load, but I have not done any analysis what is the bottleneck.

I have smaller eMMC-based laptops with not much RAM (Don't remember whether 1 or 2 GB) Not in heavy use, but I'll bookmark your reply for testing on one of those.

But that "solution" fails to understand the crux of the disagreement, so it doesn't solve it at all. It's like trying to solve a disagreement over tax rates by abolishing private property.

I think that is worthy of discussion and perhaps you are right; however, in the end, peons are usually interchangeable for "soldiers" in some of these kinds of places, and, yes, they may be conscripted, but that's the case for the worst offenders (like Japan and Germany during WWII)

Since this is blatantly false, I would ban this as misinformation if it happened in a place I moderated. I'm don't care if it's about China, I care about not enabling misinformation. If people want conspiracy theories, there are friendly forums they could visit, but they want them in serious forums too.
Those NCC/NCAs are unenforceable in California (outside some very specific exclusions, like C-level/founders), and California thrives, arguably because of it! I don't want my employer to be able to bully me into a contract where I can't switch to whatever job I want (even for "max 2 years" and half my previous pay...). A blanket ban clearly works and removes some of the employee/employer power imbalance. Should be the end of discussion.
I didn't say that what the police are doing is good or effective. In fact I called it perverse.
I know the former are illegal in California, but are the latter illegal as well?
