What I have really mentally struggled with during the pandemic is this existential questioning of "What will I think, looking back at my life if it turns out I have a shortened life and what I have to show for it is that I've just sat at a computer 10+ hours a day my entire adult life?" This questioning has made me fully doubt everything. I certainly am not living life to the fullest as I'd always dreamed that I would. There's always the promise of retirement, savings, and traveling blah blah after your 50s/60s, but you can't do anything fun at that age(arguably, where I'm coming from here) and there is no promise we'll even be alive next year. Feel like I'm tricked into working my life away on stuff I do not care about any longer and spent so long to get here. Now I'm trying to switch to things I actually enjoy doing and figure it out. But, what if?
The percentage of vaccinated people who are white is not the same thing as the percentage of white people who are vaccinated.

Here, imagine you can divide a box into four quadrants:

A | B

One is measuring A/(A+B), the other is measuring A/(A+C).

Anecdotal however cannabis has many compounds, The two main ones are: THC and CBD.

If your using a strain that has high THC and not much in CBD. CBD being the compound to safe-guard, governor the effects of THC you end up in a trip that can spiral out of control causing negative effects.

If you add a CBD strain to the mix. Which are high in CBD and contain trace amounts of THC to your normal method usage, these tend to level out the percentages.

My take is this: If your not mentally fit, high THC can cause you to go off the edge compared to strains with lower amounts. The same can be said for Wine and the alcohol volume.

And I talk from personal experience from being in a psychosis episode caused by cannabis.

(Full transparency: current Airtable employee) One of the first things I stumbled on when looking at Airtable (prior to joining) was their gallery of publicly available examples called Universe: https://www.airtable.com/universe

These aren't templates in the strict sense. Rather hundreds of real examples of things other people have built with Airtable and are now not only viewable, but free for anyone to copy and use. Scrolling through these really gave me an idea of just how versatile Airtable itself could be and also helped me get a better sense of where I might start with the product for the business use case I was looking to solve.

Yes...tagging for grouping, notes for annotating, etc. There's also massive opportunity for crowd sourcing of topic based discovery.

The YouTube platform is amazingly horrible (from an end user perspective) considering how valuable its content is, if you could implement something that can't be blocked somehow I think it could be a financially rewarding little business, there are lots of heavy users of YouTube.
It's interesting when people say "wait and see" about a tested (in tens of thousands of people), reviewed pharmaceutical product and prefer to take their chances with a random quantity of inhaled bat-poop virus.

Good luck then I guess.

I seem to recall this is how Paperspace[0] started (though they now seem to focus more on ML workloads from the look of their front page).

If you only occasionally need an app or are travelling and don't want to carry even an ultraportable then I suppose its great. I can't see any scenario where this can see mass adoption (at these prices anyway!)

The new class of vaccine was developed years and years ago for SARS 1 fwiw, was tested and even approved. But by the time it was ready there was no demand. It's not actually new.
Maybe the people I've discussed this with are not representative, but it seems to me it's widely known that weed can lead to an anxiety event, and psychedelics are sometimes a frightening experience.

Usually you'll be back to normal the next day, but will have had a memorable experience, and sometimes mushrooms produce long-term relief from depression.

I'm definitely not an expert with this, but it seems to me it is often a good idea to take a chance with some carefully chosen drugs.
I’m a multiplayer developer and I’m waiting to get a Starlink to test on (I have tested a few times on my moms). I want to makes games tolerate of the latency and instability of Starlink. Mobile networks deal with similar issues so I think it’s possible to make games with Starlink in mind.

Plus, if you're going to self-medicate by building a psychological addiction, there are worse substances to do it with than nicotine. I know many alcoholics, for example, who picked up tobacco in rehab. It might not be healthy, but it can be a bit less self-destructive to your personal life.

There is the persistent question: does this attract people who are a certain way or does it transform some people into being that way. But let's be clear, schizophrenia is not a personality trait.
The etymologies for am and is are wrong. The Sanskrit equivalents, अस्मि and अत्सि, mean, well, “am” and “is”, and all the words descend from PIE roots that don’t mean “breathe”
Nice writeup! I see that the app is available only in English. In my experience with indie apps (admittedly not recent), localisation in at least Spanish and Portuguese can help drive a lot of sales. It can also be easier to rank higher with localised keywords, and it's easier to get featured in country-specific App Stores in non-English languages as well.
It's only a narrative if you choose to believe what you want to while only scraping the surface. Masks were rationed at the beginning until there was supply. There were legitimate concerns about rushing the vaccine under Trump before testing was complete. Then many countries completed testing and approved the vaccine. This was/is basic stuff to anyone who makes an effort to inform themselves.
I think they need quite a lot of satellites in polar orbits to get coverage at the poles, and they have barely launched any yet. They are close to 100% coverage of the rest of the world already though.
The monsters who make LaTeX don't have Comic Sans. I guess I need to stick with XeLaTeX :)
The animations about 1/3 way down exactly illustrate what can go wrong when technology is unleashed. These look like the red/yellow/green traffic signals but are trying to convey lots of other information. Test all designs with the most jr and sr licensed driving population.
I think people underestimate how UI aesthetics actually improve user experience.

I remember when I was younger it was a lot easier to be more productive and creative with Pages, Numbers, Keynote than their competitors (this was when they were still skeuomorphic). The pretty UI genuinely motivated and inspired me, to an extent that I actually noticed. I really believe it helped start projects easier and work on them longer.

Still, you should never have flashiness sacrifice usability. Pages was a good example because Apple understood usability. I’m not arguing for excess animations, ugly contrasts, etc.

In fact, plenty of minimalist design is pretty while also being usable. Google Docs/Slides/Sheets in the browser, for example, are actually well designed. Material design without the shadows would still have all the usability with less flare, but nobody would build their website off of that. I think a lot of graphic designers who make minimalist designs, strive to make them pretty without even realizing

> It's sort of mentioned, but not emphasized in this review that connection dropouts happen every few minutes for a few seconds. That makes starlink fine for any kind of asynchronous content like web browsing, torrenting or video streaming, but unusable for video calls, stream hosting, voip, or online gaming

Yep, been our experience as well. We've got a few of us who wanted to trade from our cottages and its just unusable if you need a continuous signal for more than 10 minutes at a time.

That doesn't mean its useless, just that its not usable if you want to do voip, trading, video calls etc.

Hopefully they'll figure out what causes drop ever few minutes at some point. But currently given how expensive it and the hardware are its a very disappointing product.

I guess we're just spoiled now a days with the 1Gbps wired internet that most city homes have access to.

I don't think anyone who's serious doesn't think the act of burning organic matter and inhaling it is bad.

> a virus that has a 99% survival rate.

It doesn't. The case-fatality ratio is 2.15%. And this is with preventative actions being taken which allow higher percentages of people to obtain healthcare. If treatment was even more scarce than it has been, the death rate would climb even more.
Having spoken with older generations, I can tell you their concrete concerns of seeing others die or become disabled from polio is 1 or 2 magnitudes more relevant than vague concerns of government or pharmaceutical industry.

Problem is, people today haven't seen the tough stuff. If every third person had Ebola you wouldn't have the luxury of opining on government unease, because your lived reality would look far different. We've had it good. Maybe people complaining about these things is a concrete sign of how much progress we've made.
> your server or if it's my neighbor doing that if we both share the same IP address?

It depends on how sloppy you are running your attack. Most of the time the attacker will be sloppy and hit the system using the same useragent with the same cookies. Or maybe they'll go the other way and every single request will have some random BS for a useragent and random cookies. Plus they will only hit that exact single URL and won't bother loading the rest of the page.

So if you look at your logs, you'll see a million requests for "large_ugly_cow.bmp" coming from the same IP with a useragent that doesn't bother loading anything else.

In short, to a human such an attack usually stands out like a sore thumb. Writing the filter rules to block them... that is a different beast. With the right tools and a smart tech, it is totally possible though.

> pushing the same narrative

Oh boy, what do you dispute? That covid is real? Do you dispute that over 600,000 Americans have died from covid? Those are only the ones we know about. And that's with our incredible luck to have lived in a time where we can develop a vaccine with incredible speed and effectiveness. And that's with all the measures we've taken to hold back the virus, with people like you kicking and screaming the entire way. Maybe you're hearing the same "narrative" because it's reality.

We know what would happen if we did nothing - see New York, Iran, Italy last year. I don't know what people like you want. Apparently you want to sit back and pout with your conspiracy theories while the rest of us do our part.
If you live your life as an American citizen or resident, you have the federal government to blame for the exceptionally high quality of life you lead. Perhaps it's because I'm informed and educated, but besides the DoD, I have nothing but good things to say about the current state of the executive and judicial branches, as well as federal agencies.

Since ads with tracking sell better than ads without - never minding whether it's worth it or not - businesses who do more tracking will fare better. Since the market won't, regulation could help at this point, but I don't think that will happen, because businesses and goverments have similar interests here. From a government standpoint, let the businesses track the users, and when the time comes, they'll just get the results with a subpoena.

In conclusion, the general public's privacy is only important to the general public. The other entities are struggling for the opposite of privacy, and this is why I think we're seeing such an invasion on privacy.

I think it's a thing with liberalism as well though which has a huge overlap with marijuana use. Some people tend to think they know what's better for others without really considering the impacts it may have. Then you add in the existential paranoia brought on by being high all the time and you start espousing unconditional support for ideas that soothe your fears.
People are downvoting you because you’re saying something in bad faith, knowing full well you can just punch into Google and go down this specific thread of argument all you want.

Yes, I've noticed something simila, although way I phrase it is I noticed among high marijauna users from teens to twenties was what is a sense of delayed maturity.

I accept this is just one lived experience and there are other possible confounding factors, but I've definiutely noticed it.

To some degree, revolutions feel like the primary / general election distinction.

It's so bizarre. Very few people would argue that they have the freedom to pump chemicals into the air that kill 1% of the population.

You have the freedom to do what you want with your body but when it impacts me then that freedom stops being absolute and becomes more nuanced. If you don't want to be vaccinated then that's fine, but you're not allowed to put me at risk with your choice.

I almost compare it to drunk driving laws. You can get as drunk as you want at home. But when you get into a car, your choices start to impact everyone else, and your right to get as drunk as you want and die in a single-car accident is trumped by my right to not be subject to undue risk when I'm in public. Even if the risk is low, maybe you've driven drunk 1000 times and never killed anyone, my right to be safe trumps your right to drive drunk.
