Of course most of driving is so easy that I’m sure a huge percent of the time drunk driving has no consequences, but haven’t we all been in an occasional situation that requires fast reaction to narrowly avoid a crash?
1mg in a pill that dissolves under the tongue works great for me. Very fast.

Doesn’t knock me out. But, if I’m already on the way to sleep, it gets me there faster. And, the sleep is a lot deeper. Wackier dreams right into the morning. More rested when I wake up.

If I know I’m going to have a hard time falling asleep, I’ll wait a bit after getting in bed and only pop the pill under the tongue when I’m relaxed enough. Otherwise, it not effective.

according to some theories, there is enforcement of Chekov's gun. Reality is combinitorial explosive, ie. there are vastly too many inputs for us to synthesize. So our perception and memory both function to "chunk" events and objects. These "chunks" are what you perceive and remember. So you don't just bump into random objects, but in fact you only see and remember things that are in some way relevant. In other words, everything is a Chekhov gun in some ways.

I fail to see how:

I can't say that I think of ten year old stuff as being particularly old. I've got the normal pile of early Thinkpads and a couple of cheap desktops but don't lust after them, it's just that new is too expensive (plus, stuff like OpenBSD will definitely run on a T420).

This was an extremely confusing and muddled set of arguments. On the one hand it decries elitist environmentalism and celebrates the Sierra Club stopping nuclear power.

Oh, no doubt. It's a difficult place to be, with no real margin for serious actual testing of what the price should be. It's too risky.

But I do think that they're subject to the pressure to under-price what they produce because to them it's easier. It's easy to discount your own labor when you think the job is easy.

Usually that perception of whether the job is easy is wrong.

In any case, I can't imagine a small restaurant having any way to seriously or accurately measure what their prices should be better than maybe a dollar. There's just not enough business to tell, and if you hit a bad region the place shuts down.

You can try setting it based off nearby businesses, but even then it's probably not better than a dollar of correct.
So, it's not exactly news that public schools cater to and teach to the lowest common denominator. It was true in the 80s too. So either don't send your kids to public schools, or teach them to pursue their own interests and to work on their own education. Should they gear up solely to improve outcomes of the bottom 5%? Does it work to benefit society? I don't know, that's a political issue. Is it fair? Fuck no, but the counterargument is that other things that aren't fair need to be made more fair through the educational system. Either way, Quillette and its hysterical fear mongering and sponsorship of fascists can bite my ass. We all came up under the same system. We're okay. The people who respond angrily to articles like these are the ones who have a chip on their shoulder and blame other people for not getting a fair shake. Oh, the system was stacked against you because it spent too much time pandering to the LCD? Where was your ambition, pal?
My example was with simple numbers to illustrate a point that employee pay isn't directly tied to price of an item or the profit made. Also not every employee is paid the same. Maybe line cooks are getting a raise. Maybe the hostess doesn't expect one. Managers and what ever are already paid more.

> Food has always been scarce for some and plentiful for others. Same as land. Same as capital. And there have always been some people who have enough or more than they need who have a drive to amass even more, but that does not mean they have a shortage of it. And inversely if they don't try to horde more of a particular resource or asset that doesn't mean that asset is post-scarce for society as a whole.

Sure, so you can say that everything is scarce - because for any given thing there will surely be one person for whom that thing is scarce. But that has no explanatory power. If we want to talk about what's scarce for society as a whole, looking at what most elites and most everyday people focus most of their attention on takes sense.

> Less than 20 years ago we had the credit markets almost cease functioning, major banks collapsed almost taking the banking sector with them, hundreds of thousands of home owners being unable to service their loans and were foreclosed. In my layman's understanding a major cause of this was undervaluing the cost of loans. Things have changed since then of course, but these industries and environments are very cyclical.

I completely agree with this, but it's worse (or better) than cyclical - the 2008 financial crisis was a small bump in the road that we've kept travelling down. Mortgages, subprime mortgages, subprime debt, indebtedness... take any measure you like, there's now more of it than in 2008. There's just so much capital sloshing around the system looking for anywhere to go.

You generally don't have to ask a person if they're deaf. Unless you mean it was part of the application/submission process? It sounds like a greatly exaggerated version of the truth, which is this:

The actual requirement for government contractors is that they cannot require someone to disclose disability information, but they must give the applicant the opportunity to do so.

Because roughly 10% of the workforce has a disability, and it was found that government contractors appeared to discriminate against people with disabilities that were otherwise qualified for the work. So, large contractors became obligated to have a less-than-representative 7% of their workforce pulled from a pool of candidates with disabilities.

I'm not sure quota systems like this are the best way to handle the problem. However, this approach is hardly the death knell for merit-based hiring.
This was totally predictable. The interesting question is really whether America even has the mental bandwidth to care for its own citizens in a hostage crisis.
And on the computer side of the fence, although modern machines are outrageously powerful, responsiveness is becoming something of an endangered species, but on early to mid 90s Macs it's the rule for all but the most demanding applications.

Especially if retrofitted with flash storage of some kind, those old Macs often wait for you more frequently than you wait for them. And while the OS isn't great at multitasking, that could be seen as a feature — instead of tens of tabs and a dock full of programs open, you're forced to focus only on the 1-3 apps that can be open before classic Mac OS multitasking breaks down.

I'm seriously considering setting up an old pre-OS X Mac of some flavor as a zen mode writing machine for this reason.

Endemic's basic and technical meaning is just that it's persistently present in the community, with no connotation on severity, and ancestor comment was using it in that force.

Vaccinated people overwhelmingly don't experience severe symptoms when they get COVID. I expect that new vaccines will soon be developed as well that can better target these variants. The biggest losers are those who cannot get vaccinated for legit medical reasons.
> assuming that all governments are equally legitimate

Not really directed at you but I wanted to explore this more in general:

When a corporation chooses to submit articles of incorporation to any given jurisdiction, notions of "equally legitimate" wrt any particular jurisdiction's leverage over them seems meaningless to me if such corporate operating in any given jurisdiction is not willing to risk being able to operate effectively in such jurisdiction (sure, any given corporation may have different levels of exposure to different jurisdictions, but that to me seems more a risk/reward thing and not really jurisdictional legitimacy thing, even though people may take it as a signal that holding more assets/operational capacity in a particular jurisdiction automatically gives that jurisdiction more legitimacy over another where they hold less or none at all, but that brings up another question: is a jurisdiction any less legitimate if one holds no exposure to it but others orgs do?).

If an organization is able to continue to operate within any given (claimed) jurisdiction without putting its assets/operational capacity at significant risk in such jurisdictions from any punitive actions from non compliance, then the legitimacy of any given jurisdiction is zero if we are tying exposure to such jurisdiction to its legitimacy (thus all jurisdictions would be equally legitimate with a weight of zero, which perhaps would be a better assumption than all with a weight of 1 as far as such orgs are concerned [not that all orgs can operate as such]).
Melatonin is a hormone, and is contraindicated for those with existing or predisposition to mental health conditions. In fact, that used to be a warning on the label in NY state.

End-to-end encrypted emails, not massive collection of metadata to build advertising profiles, and, maybe this will sound strange, but I wanted to pay for these services because I want to show everyone that there is a paying market and you don't have to rely on advertising to be profitable in this space.

No service is capable of completely hiding IPs and still getting you the data. If you "threat model" includes hiding from Western governments, I'd recommend not using the internet.
> Like real distribution, when you add more servers writes distribute as well?

There's a really interesting suggestion in The Mythical Man Month. He suggests that instead of hiring more programmers to work in parallel, maybe we should scale teams by keeping one person writing all the code but have a whole team supporting them.

I don't know how well that works for programming, but with databases I think its a great idea. CPUs are obnoxiously fast. Its IO and memory which are slow. I could imagine making a single CPU core's job to be simply ordering all incoming writes relative to each other using strict serialization counters (in registers / L1 cache). If the stream of writes coming in (and going out) happened over DPDK or something, you could probably get performance on the order of 10m-100m counter updates per second.

Then a whole cluster of computers sit around that core. On one side you have computers feeding it with writes. (And handling the retry logic if the write was speculatively misordered.) And on the other side you have computers taking the firehose of writes, doing fan-out (kafka style), updating indexes, saving everything durably to disk, and so on.

If that would work, you would get full serializable database ordering with crazy fast speeds.

You would hit a hard limit based on the speed of the fastest CPU you can buy, but I can't think of much software on the planet which needs to handle writes at a rate faster than 100m per second. And doesn't have some natural sharding keys anyway. Facebook's analytics engine and CERN are the only two which come to mind.
Melatonin helped me with my sleep a bit, but never a lot. What did help is much brighter light during the day (on a timer, so the lighting would become dark in the evening) and adding to the basically-useless blue-light filters on my devices some automatic timed screen brightness changes.

I used to have circadian rhythm disorders. The most common pattern for me was the pattern of delayed sleep-wake disorder i.e. night owl disorder. I also experienced non-24 hour sleep-wake disorder, where you go to bed at a different time every "night", offset by an hour or two. At my worst, I experienced irregular sleep-wake disorder, which consists of many short naps throughout the day, with no pattern from day to day. Comorbid with depression, of course. Even the most mild (delayed sleep-wake disorder) is like 50% comorbid with depression.

Fortunately I'm now mentally healthy and free from sleep issues, and I attribute that mostly to the lighting changes I've made to my apartment. I've also heard these kinds of changes can help with SAD if the lights are bright enough. Look up how bright the sun is, and try to get your apartment to at least 10% of that. (100% is still too expensive, and 10% seems to work fine.) Note that most indoor lighting is usually closer to 1%.

P.S. this is essentially "light therapy" which they prescribe with those pathetic little light boxes, but if you look up the amount of light they give off, it's not nearly enough (and not for a long enough period). Hence why the stupid light boxes had no effect, but my own lighting setup changed my sleep dramatically. Here is a setup similar to my own: https://arbital.com/p/lumenators/

P.P.S Another thing you can try if you have circadian rhythm issues is to exercise hard in the morning right at your desired wake-up time. I never had to try it, but I did see a promising study in mice that showed it could reset their circadian rhythm more dramatically than anything else.

P.P.P.S If your sleep issues are not circadian in nature, don't bother with melatonin. You develop a tolerance to the sedative effects of melatonin pretty quickly, in my experience.
Your code is important to us. Please stay on the line, and the next available reviewer will answer your code. Due to unusually high code volumes, this response may take longer than usual.

My wife suffered from sleeping issues for a very long time. She tried everything under the sun including nytol, sublingual melatonin , slow release melatonin, passiflora and other teas. Nothing really helped her until eventually someone suggested ZMA (a zinc magnesium complex used by bodybuilders ) . That was a saving pill for her and fixed her sleep.
Heh, thanks for tracking that down, and it's as marvelous as one would expect from 6 years of exposure to the Internet :-)

If you cannot imagine this identical failure occurring at a different airport, in different ground conditions, I don't know what to say. You might as well say Sully splashing down in the Hudson without loss of life was unsurprising because he was trained for emergencies. (And, incidentally, airlines do not, in fact, train pilots for "all engines failed"; it is considered too unlikely and too unsurvivable.)

Lockheed did make many, many passenger aircraft, and the failure I cited was, in fact, in a passenger aircraft. If you cannot understand changes in the aircraft business landscape, I don't know what to say.
