I did qualify that I'm talking about heavy users but I don't think I'm over-generalizing. Any heavy drug use, or addictive or dependent behavior in general crowds out other things. That's just a fact of substance use.

Occasional recreational use is one thing but people who are high every day, they aren't able to be as present as they would be if they were sober, and in changes them in I think usually negative ways. Not even because of the particular drug they're using, but because of the patterns of behavior that come with those levels of consumption.

There have been other studies. Here's a summary.[1]

From the current data, we can conclude that the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) component of cannabis can be the main culprit causing psychosis and schizophrenia in the at-risk population. THC can also be the one exacerbating symptoms and causing an adverse prognosis in already diagnosed patients. Even though CBD shows therapeutic effects and THC opposing effects, the data is minimal and low safety and efficacy warrants more research. The relation between cannabis and schizophrenia needs further investigation. We need more case-control studies and clinical trials with a larger population to get conclusive data.

So, something seems to be going on, but there's not enough data yet.

Years from now, the cannabis industry may face the product liability problems the tobacco industry did in the past, and the vaping industry is facing now.[2]

Product Hunt's customer base is largely product people, designers, and a handful of developers and investors.

If your product's target demographic overlaps with that of Product Hunt (design tools, project management tools) then it can be useful to get ranked well on Product Hunt. If your product targets the average consumer, Product Hunt is basically useless for anything other than maybe networking.

I tried using Autonomy's NLP product at work in (about) 2001. It had good functionality but when I later heard what HP was paying for Autonomy, I was flabbergasted at what I thought was a very high price for their IP and software. I had no inside information of Autonomy except for trying their product, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

No. It's another name for tu quoque, a logical fallacy by attempting to deflect criticism through pointing out hypocrisy. The Soviets used it as their go-to defense for their hideous system by pointing to racism, prisons, lynching, etc in the US. As if that made their shortcomings acceptable.

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Whataboutism

You can criticize some party or entity all you want, just make a logical argument free of fallacies. I don't abide using whataboutism to make false equivalencies. The US is nothing like North Korea. To compare the two, unless done extremely carefully, is insulting to people in the US, and demeaning the experience of people in North Korea.

To think of it another way, if you compare working in McDonald's to slavery, you're insulting the people that work for McDonald's and demeaning the experience of survivors of actual slavery.

> I don't believe that is what she said. You are making the point that I say should be avoided: you believe she said one thing, so that must make her an X, and Xs are dangerous...you have no idea.

No, please read my comment more carefully, because I said none of that.

I don't believe that she did or didn't say anything. I said "alleged" and meant it -- I've read exactly one article about this person and never heard of her before.

I said that having a post like that under one's name could be used as evidence against their employer in the case of a Title VII claim. Not that it would definitely indicate that the poster is racist; not that the poster is "dangerous" -- I'm said that the poster could reasonably be viewed as a legal liability to their employer.

> you aren't judging a person on their actions but how you believe they would act in a hypothetical you invent...would you like to be judged this way?

Another example of non-free speech: if you admit to having done a crime, that will be used against you in court (note, the admission itself is not a crime -- but it is evidence). If you express intent to do a crime, and somebody alleges that the same crime happened, and you're placed at the scene of the alleged crime, then your expression of intent will be used against you in court. Whether or not I want that to happen to me is irrelevant. That's how the legal system works.

What about medicated people diagnosed with Schizophrenia that then start smoking?
One of my main goals is for real research to occur.

People have been saying or alluding to any psychedelics triggering schizophrenia for a long time.

Like, its almost dismissive and toxic, people want their psychedelics to be safe so bad that they'll tell people "you should have known that your were predisposed to schizophrenia before you took this, therefore your experience is invalid, its safe ya'll!"

Instead of these binary approaches to advocate for legality or illegality, I would just like normal clinical trials done and side effects listed in tiny print at the bottom of the bottle. This shouldn't be that hard of an ask, many approved drugs have "you may get suicidal thoughts and also might randomly die without doing the suicide" as a side effect, which seems worse than schizophrenia and these aren't scheduled drugs at all! Just do the studies and let us know!
Yeah and it's a bit tricky. Best to leave it to someone who knows what they're doing. I vote for me.
I'm not sure that's true. We invest a lot of money in making people productive at their jobs, basically 0-25, and then they only work another 40 years after that. If they could work another 60-80 years instead, the return on investment is much better.
This is also possible with the 1Password X extension, however there's a lot of feature segmentation and unclear messaging between the Desktop app-based version and 1Password X so I don't blame you for using the old one.

~18-25 IIRC is the normal age for prodromal schizophrenia to occur(the early phase where symptoms begin to manifest) so that makes sense. If you don't get it by that age it's extremely unlikely to start experiencing symptoms at an older age, there are younger children with schizophrenia but it's still much less common than people first noticing it around their early 20s.

And in your first sentence, do you mean you get psychosis or hallucinations from smoking pot? Or literal schizophrenia? Interestingly, around 19-22 years old when I smoked a lot, I had some psychosis-like symptoms, mostly auditory hallucinations. They weren't very disruptive or paranoid-feeling though, it was always the sound of a group of people at a party or backyard barbecue or something standing around laughing & talking, and I could only actually make out like 1/5 words. It felt very real though, I looked out my window countless times to see if my neighbors were having a 2am party in their back yard.
Well, I think we know that we are mostly unconscious of the vast number of biological processes keeping us alive, even though we can choose to shine the light mentally on various ones and get in tune with them.
This is exactly the same 'cancel culture' behavior that many US Republicans like to decry. In the same way that, in many recent high profile cases, right-leaning knowledge workers like professors have been forced from positions for sinning against the dogma of their professions in semi-private settings, this priest has been forced from his profession for his sinning against his employer's dogma.

I guess the difference here is that the priest thought he was not doing so publicly, though on the other hand he was going against clearly stated requirements, which is not reliably true in the other case. But hopefully everyone on this site is well enough aware that anonymity is a myth in far more anonymous settings than ones where you provide demographics, photos, self description, and your location (I presume, if grindr is anything like other dating platforms I've seen.)

Please don't shallowly ban people for no good reason. If you read that thread you posted my reaction to him was pretty reasonable. He told me to go study physics. A small violation of the rules? Yeah sure but did I incite anger? No. I was responding to his insult... hardly worth a ban.

Additionally who's to judge that is a shallow dismissal. YOU simply JUST don't agree with it. That's the main problem here. I WROTE reams of text to justify that dismissal. It is literally the OPPOSITE of shallow.

Is it a dismissal? Yes. It is an unpopular opinion? Yes. Is it a shallow dismissal? No. Are you incurring your own bias to ban me here? Absolutely Yes. The evidence is UTTERLY clear from my description above. If anything the one person who responded to my post had the most shallow reply. He literally dismissed most of the design content out on the internet as "garbage" with not even a sentence to support that assertion. That is the definition of Shallow.

And that is why I will always be creating accounts that will NEVER break HN's rules. These accounts will however ALWAYS break your own biased interpretation of your own rules. You are absolutely not a neutral arbiter here. You take sides and your bias here is on the side of considering UI to be artistry and you ban anyone who doesn't share your opinion by calling anyone who doesn't share it "shallow."

Take a look at the thread again. It wasn't insulting and it was FAR from shallow. You really piss me off Dang.
Ask HN: Homeless, seeking a low paying programming gig
Hi HN:

Just seeking a low pay, low stress programming gig (e.g. $25/hr as a 1099) to get me back on the saddle. I need a few bucks for a laptop (a $400 laptop from walmart will do), and some food money. Full time is preferred so I can target $4k monthly before tax.

A used laptop shipped to my buddy's PO Box here will also work. I only have my phone currently. He will let me use his WiFi.

After the first remittance, I will be able to afford rent and to begin fixing my vehicle. Currently homeless.

I am heavily experienced with backend development, specifically web backends on Linux. Capable with SQL and scripting languages such as Python, PHP, JS, as well as various MVC and API frameworks. Have a bit of a formal EE and CS bkgd, and a lifetime of prog exp. Can work full stack in a pinch. Exp'd API dev incl design/doc/stub/implementation/automated test suites/coord with FE.

Highly experienced with code bases of various quality. Can typically jump into an existing code base quickly and be productive. Highly organized.

I lost everything, incl my CV.

Plz shoot me an email: smith john dough (nospcs) at pm.

I am US based.

Thanks for your help!
I'm reminded of Nick Bostrom's story called "The Dragon Tyrant"[0][1] and David Foster Wallace's "This is Water"[2]. The dragon became so normal in our lives that we do not even question it, like a fish does not question what water is. That we've created a society around this how to deal with this inevitability. But at the end of the day if we could, killing the dragon would be more beneficial and reduce harm by a significant amount.

I see several people in this thread complaining about the economic analysis here or how old people are messing up our world and thus we should fix those things first. For the former question, I see this analysis as adding ammunition to the debate, because many people that determine where we should fund base their decisions on economics. This paper isn't aimed at you, it is aimed at them (speak to your audience). For the latter, I question the premise. Culture has moved too fast that it cannot be purely explained by younger generations dictating the change. This also falls counter to old people controlling everything. So I don't buy the premise. The truth is that if people were living to a thousand years old that society would fundamentally change. Who we consider children and adults would fundamentally change. The truth is that we don't know what this society will look like until we open the box, and until the dust settles. We should be questioning if this is good or bad (we should challenge all ideas) but we need to recognize that this would be such a fundamental change in society that we have no real baseline for determining how we would change. My personal belief is that we do not go quiet into that dark night. There is a lot to fear, but often our fears are irrational. This would save billions of lives, and so I believe it is worth the risk and worth the hardship we will face as society transitions into this new paradigm.

The first PC we had in our home was an Olivetti M24, an 8086 running at 8Mhz. This was around 1987 (I think). Then I got my own 286 (also Olivetti) so naturally I have an affinity with early PC's.

In the past two years I rebuild, from parts I sourced in various places, a fully working; 286/16, 386SX/20, 386DX/40, 486DX/100. I also have the parts for a Pentium 100 except for the CPU.

It was fun collecting and sourcing the parts and building the machines up. In my opinion the PC industry in the 90's was most interesting, not because it was "my" time but because technology was advancing leaps and bounds during that period.

I used to do some RNA molecular dynamics simulations in college which were both computationally expensive and difficult to replicate. Having the ability to reasonably predict protein structure is an incredible scientific achievement - however I am curious if anyone here who is better informed has takes on the following.

1. How likely is it that alphafold learned to accurately predict protein structure in the narrow domain of proteins that have been experimentally synthesized and whose structure has been measured? in other words will AlphaFold's results generalize to proteins which cannot yet be synthesized in the laboratory.

2. If Alphafold's accuracy holds, what type of commercial applications does this open up?
This seems like a loaded question. How would the people in power allow someone else to make that decision? If the issue still exists and there are no alternatives (implied by it still existing), then what would the eventual answer be? It seems that the power dynamics would not allow for artificial control and thus, some natural control for which the people in power have little influence over would be necessary.

I kind of like somthing along the same lines as the idea intended in Altered Carbon - everyone gets 100 years of generally healthy life, but then everyone dies at 100. Not realistic at all, but seems highly equitable. Any artificial constraints will be evaded or manipulated at some point, even in the name of what's best for humanity (ie what if Davinci or Einstien were still alive; eventually the people in power would say I'm president, so presidents should live forever too, etc).

Regardless, the bigger issue would be overpopulation.
Yeah, but a highly-customized version of 5.6 with its own storage engine. It’s not like it was off the shelf MySQL 5.6.
I think the increase in cases is more likely to be explained by a number of factors:

1. THC concentrations have increased which usually means there is less CBD.
2. Legalization probably increased casual use.
3. People who suffer from schizophrenia are simply more likely to be diagnosed for whatever reason.

The sum of these three things could easily account for a significant increase in diagnosis.

Sometimes increases in diagnosis correlate with better detection. Sometimes they correlate with incentives to diagnose people. I’m not even suggesting a nefarious connection. Sometimes incentives with the best intentions can have a big impact.
I think he means under the current life expectancy and quality of life in the final decades.

He probably means those final decades are completely unproductive and taxing on the whole economy, so a productive person dying just before becoming unproductive would be optimal.

Naturally, if you give people more productive years then it changes.

That was the expectation but the Oracle camp surprised everyone by actually giving it some attention, and meanwhile MariaDB's promise of being a "100% compatible drop-in replacement" came with more and more caveats with each release (as is to be entirely expected with any fork).

When you consider the network effect of all the stacks already heavily invested in MySQL, all Oracle really needed to do was put in a modicum of effort to MySQL to stave off the MariaDB migrations (and from my understanding they've put in quite a bit more than a modicum).

Lastly, Postgres is an interesting player. Migrating from MySQL to Postgres might be a scarier prospect than to MariaDB, but since the Oracle acquisition a lot of MySQL-veterans were looking for something non-MySQL for new projects and in that I get the sense Postgres beat out MariaDB.
The best venues I found are coffeshop/bars where primarily local people gather, with a smattering of interesting people from out of town, with an atmosphere that encourages free speech and inquiry. Enough of a public house to be inclusive but the trolls are well-moderated. There is a level of decorum, granted, a low bar in places I frequent, that people must maintain or you get kicked out.

Unfortunately there seem to be less places like this now.

Don't go to too far with this sort of atomistic analysis. Large firms are better at enforcing coordination than "society at-large" or other groupings. The fact that at different scales the coordination is markedly different has a huge affect.

It makes me wonder if the US system will break down the same way the USSR broke down. As the politicians from the "early days" age out, it's difficult to replace them with people who are similarly bought into the system. And you end up with a Gorbachev or equivalent. I'm not sure if our Gorbachev is an AOC-like or a Trump-like or something else, but it's possible we'll have difficulty filling in the ranks of the Pelosis, Schumers, McConnells, etc.

I have a friend like this with marijuana. She finds indicas make her euphoric and energized and creative, when she should be couch-locked with a body high. Until she swapped types she kept getting super anxious and it led her to bad trips. But the benefits outweighed the downsides for her (she was able to eat and sleep normally).

Also- coughing (which you almost certainly will), will raise your heart rate.

So how do we know what is a bad effect of the plant in general? This is worrying to me, and as a marijuana smoker I would really love more studies to be done on it.
Law of Cost Centers: The output of complex organisation will, given time, become delineated arbitrarily between cost centers. Attempts to meet in the middle will have to deal with asymptotic costs, inevitably overshooting diminishing gains from combining efforts.

In other words, with cost centers present, the whole becomes less valuable than its parts. Or stated another way: Some parts will, in presence of cost centers, inevitably take precedence from the whole, as well as other parts.
