correlation != causation

OP was commenting on why there may not necessarily be a causation, and you commented on how the doctors tend to think there's a correlation. It just as well could be that schizophrenia tends to lead to increased marijuana consumption as people are self medicating. I'm no expert, so I don't have any strong beliefs around causation, but I do think both lines of thought (marijuana causing schizophrenia, or vice versa) seem pretty logical to me.

It's pretty widely believed that there is a correlation between the two, but the reason behind the link is where there's a lot of debate.

I am pro legalization because I think people should get to make their own decisions about what they put in their own bodies, but I definitely agree that this aspect of marijuana use is somewhat downplayed by many of its advocates.

Anecdotally, I have seen several marijuana-using friends go down the tubes. One became extremely paranoid to the point he was unable to maintain relationships with the people around him (because he was worried everyone might be a spy), and several others became extremely unpleasant and irritable when they weren't high on the drug. This is perhaps the minority case and most people can partake relatively safely, but I definitely don't see it as a completely harmless substance.

> There's nothing stopping them from improving their own services.

Well, they can’t improve the latency of their service due to light delay. If they want to compete on that front, they need to move to a LEO constellation.

Neither HughesNet nor ViaSat has started working on LEO constellations (publicly anyway), and these things take years. If they want to get into LEO constellations, they’ve ceded a 5 year head start to SpaceX.

I’m not optimistic that either of them will be able to remain competitive with Starlink over the next decade.
> You say that right now, the numbers are overwhelmingly in favor of vaccines. I disagree, but even if you're right,

How can you possibly disagree with that? There is a several orders of magnitude difference. Data for the USA: there are 6,207 reports of people dying after getting the vaccine (of which only a few have a plausible causal relationship between getting the vaccine and death) [1], while there are 607,289 registered COVID-19 deaths [2] (and yes, the excess deaths do agree with that number [3]). There are exactly three confirmed vaccine deaths in the USA, from TTS due to the J&J vaccine.

> Until we know more about their long-term effects, we don't know

I agree, so we should act on basis of the data we have right now. And that data says overwhelmingly says getting a vaccine is much safer than getting COVID-19 on the short and mid long-term. There is nothing that points to that on the long term suddenly the vaccines will be worse than the virus.

> I'm in the age group that has higher risk of blood clots from the vaccines.

There is no evidence that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines increase the risk of blood cloths. On the other hand, there is plenty of evidence that COVID-19 does.

You actually answered the question in your statement above.

It has to be an unmet need. The key word being "un-met"

You said:

> "hardly anyone really needs another social network"

You're absolutely correct.

The first phase of social networks had a lot of early adoption for many different social networks circa 2003, because at that time the need was unmet.

Then the world settled on a winner, Facebook.

Now that's no longer an unmet need.

But in reality, there are limits to being able to predict a winner.

If that existed, starting a winning business would be easy.

We only have heuristics, no crystal ball.

Also, spotting a need is not the same as satisfying it.

It's why Steve Jobs could arrive late to the party and build a winner that leapfrogged the competition over and over again.
I would agree. There is no silver bullet, but various levers that can be actuated in a manner that arrives at the desired socioeconomic equilibrium.

I don't know when people quit vocalizing as they read to themselves, but I suspect it may have had a lot to do with the Carolingian renaissance that gave us spaces between words.

I recall an experience trying to read through a Latin text without spaces and punctuation. It was very slow going. But I decided to try just reading aloud, and OMG, how much easier it became to understand!

It was a little disorienting because even though I was reading and speaking the sounds I saw on the page, I had no interpretation of it until I heard my own voice speaking the text.

I hadn't considered that there is probably also a conditioning component to silent/aloud reading until you described what your wife went through.

It would be interesting to know more about the hypoglycemia link.

On topic: Does anyone know if there is some precedent for lawsuits like this? From years of experience in the art of existing as a human, I would guess A-B can't possibly be the only organization with these problems, but if a lawsuit like this has happened before, it must have been targeting a much lower profile company that flew under my cultural radar.

> If you gave someone who understood electricity but not computation a CPU they wouldn't be able to explain how it works. That wouldn't provide a good reason to say that computation must be the result of something other than electricity.

It would be a good reason to suppose that computation was something added culturally to understanding the CPU (as part of constructing a CPU), since physics alone doesn't explain it. The computation is something in addition to the physics. It's cultural (the meaning of the computation in terms of bit patterns, manipulations and input/outputs) as well as electrical. Otherwise, it's just moving electricity around and producing heat.

>Years after the online harassment campaign known as Gamergate targeted women in the video game world

Ironically, GamerGate started as an expose on how dishonest and corrupt video game journalism had become and now journalists dishonestly hijack GG to push whichever agenda suits them.

Edit: It seems that there is confusion about what caused GG and what specific event brought the most followers to GG. I won't discredit anyone's opinion and I'll point out that GG is mostly in the past now. However, it would have been wise to academically split up GG into discrete fragments such that we could more accurately talk about its stages. I foresee a time when we look back on the riots of 2020 and some will claim that it was mainly looting, others will claim it was about anti-police demonstrations, others will claim it was about defending a fentanyl wife-beater, and others still will claim it was to destabilize the US. Everyone will simultaneously be right because all of those things did happen...but everyone will simultaneously be wrong because it was never about just one of those things.

[shrug emoji] I have indeed needed to insert literal tab characters in documents, for a variety of reasons, from editing tab-separated value documents and other data files to programming where -- as shocking as it may seem -- we indented with tab characters rather than spaces. Also, of course, if "expand tabs" is on, the tab key inserts the appropriate number of spaces.

At any rate, I don't know when BBEdit may have added that preference. It's always, AFAIK, had "shift right" and "shift left" commands bound to Cmd-] and Cmd-[ respectively, which follows a pretty long, albeit informal, tradition of Macs apps using those for changing the indentation of existing text. (I get that it may seem awfully pedantic to separate "change indentation of existing text" from "change indent of text as you're typing," but if you've been using computers for 30 years, it's surprising you've never seen that before. The first time I selected text and typed tab and the indent changed, it actually wasn't what I wanted and I was pretty confused as to what the hell was going on, although of course I've gotten used to it since.)

Normally full disk encryption and booting security is the province of your OS. To my recollection both Bitlocker and LUKS can optionally use the TPM which means it can be used for 100% of the use cases which would improve computer security.

What are we missing out on exactly?
As a historical note, this is a primary reason why digital computers replaced analog computers. If you want another digit of accuracy out of an analog computer, you need components that are 10 times as accurate, requiring expensive precision resistors and capacitors. But if you want another digit of accuracy out of a digital computer, you just process four more bits and you can still use cheap, inaccurate components.

While analog computers are almost entirely forgotten now, they were widely used even into the 1970s. They could solve differential equations almost instantaneously, while digital computers needed to chug through calculations before producing the answer. But digital computers steadily became faster until they could generate answers in real-time, but more accurate and easier to program.
The accusations I've been reading are simply awful and outright depressing. A woman may have committed suicide over the harassment.
This was discussed a lot in the cannabis community a few years ago though the topic seems to have died down. The consensus among people heavily involved in cannabis is that it is related to overuse of neem oil, an organic pesticide. Some growers had been using neem very liberally without keeping in mind that the active ingredients are toxic to humans. The toxicity of neem seems to be in line with the effects of cyclical vomiting/hypermesis. So, it has been a thing to shun and shame people using that pesticide for a few years.

I smoked weed the first time when I was 15 or so. A buddy of mine bought some from a friend of a friend. And we continued to smoke mostly on weekends for years. I stopped right around college in 2007 or so.

Then a year or so ago I smoked some legal weed from a dispensary. And that shit almost killed me.

I was nauseated and sweating and I vomited repeatedly for like two hours. And I couldn’t control my thoughts. They got dark very quickly. Like voices in my head telling me to kill myself…it was fucking insane…

So naturally a few months later I tried it again, assuming it was just something with that strain or whatever. And it happened again. And I’m not even talking like I smoked a whole joint. I smoked maybe four puffs from a bong.

I know that’s not evidence of any kind. It’s just my reaction. And my wife smokes daily to help with the symptoms of medication she takes. She smokes fairly heavily and the worst thing that happens to her is she gets hungry.

I don’t know what the difference is between “modern” weed and the grown-in-the-ditch North Carolina weed I smoked in my youth. But it is not the same thing.
The self proclaimed guys that are at the same time 10X devs and 10x negociaters think that all the simpletons will be envious and hate on them. It could be that some of the double 10x guys are not paid 10x times as "simpletons" (most of the time this ones are stuck to cleanup the 10x devs garbage output)
To be honest, after I saw the fallout from GG, the online harassment seems like a much bigger problem than a bunch of corrupt game journalists.
TPM isn't active on many private devices, so the ability to abuse its capability was more or less impossible. That would come after it is firmly established.

What we do know thought is the software landscape of devices that are indeed locked down mostly to the benefit of the manufacturers. Turns out the uniformity of that software landscape didn't stop NSO from silently taking over phones. Different threat scenario, but I think the pattern is clear.

I think we need a closer examination on how often private devices are affected by firmware attacks or messing with boot. As far as I know they have become quite rare. Perhaps I need to shift my paranoia there, but I am not convinced.

But these questions are irrelevant if TPM stays optional. A lot of IT security comes down to trust problems, so I fail to see why possible disadvantages shouldn't be examined.

As far as I know I could activate TPM right now, so I also fail to see how "folks" hold practical security back. Weighting security mechanisms is also an essential step. I am just not convinced it does improve my practical security, while maybe it proves detrimental to general computing.

Well...I love MySQL but there was a time when it was anything but rock solid. It was pretty painful until InnoDB replaced MyISAM in 2010 as the default storage engine. After that it became rare to lose data.
I'm really surprised that Blizzard thinks a state suit against them for sexual discrimination, harassment, and a litany of odious behaviors by managers is best answered by calling them "unaccountable State bureaucrats," as they did in their PR damage control release. It's like they think it's 1995 and MeToo never happened.

In the suit, the state even attempted a mediated resolution to prevent it from going to court. But Blizzard refused to cooperate, essentially taunting the state to bring a case, which they now have.
