The "correct" dose happens to be 0.3 to 0.4mg for me. How did I determine that? I started with 3mg, got knocked out way too fast. Then went to 1.5mg, got knocked out way too fast. Rinse and repeat with 0.8mg. On 0.4mg I felt it was just about enough, and then I noticed 0.3mg sometimes helped and sometimes didn't.

YMMV

Do you have examples to share of companies who were as devoted to talking to their customers and making something people want as Airbnb, but who failed to build a successful company?

That YC W09 batch had about 16 companies. They were all far less successful than Airbnb (though some of them did well and got solid exits, and others live on and are going OK, like mine). But none of the companies who did less well than Airbnb were remotely as engaged with their users as Airbnb was. It was blindingly clear, even in the first month of the batch.
The description for the photo on the organization's web site (linked in the Petapixel article) reads,

> The image tells an important story of habitat fragmentation, and how structures such as the border wall can prevent wildlife from migrating and moving into other areas. The wall dominates the image, with the roadrunner seemingly powerless and small in the frame.

So they're not really being coy about this being a statement. The Petapixel article also has longer quotes from the artist about how disruptive he feels the border wall is for wildlife. I don't think it's a statement about immigration politics, per se, as much as a statement about unintended consequences of the way our actions affect the environment.
It is a master of plain old rbdms, but able to accomplish more with specific extensions. Sure, it probably makes more sense to use Elastic than Postgres for full-text search, but there is a solid extension for it. In a lot of operational contexts it’s easier to host another Postgres instance with a specialized extension than to try deploy an entirely new DB.
Corporate news aren't partisan.

Unless you count chasing the bottom line as an ideology, that is.

Fox, to take an extreme examples, isn't really partisan. They have just found a juicy business model where they've learnt to titillate the sensitivities of a certain segment of the population to maximize revenue.

I don't have problem with a biased news source, as long as I have enough news sources to dig from and can average out the bias from multiple sources.

>“Conspiracism is a sort of creed,” author Jonathan Kay told Rolling Stone. “It’s the idea that there is a secret power in the world that can’t be changed by elections, that it has evil motivations and that it’s trying to destroy our way of life.”

I mean, this seems accurate to me. Clearly there's a loosely-affiliated group of hyper-rich, hyper-influential elites that push and shove around US and global politics to suit their needs, and their desires end up mattering a lot more than anyone's vote does.

Good article though. Author is brave to actually accurately describe the sickness devouring modern journalism, where everything is about catering to ideology. And there's some interesting stuff here overall.

>The conspiracy-minded, Kay says, “come to see the world as presented by the mainstream media and other institutions as sort of a counterfeit hoax.”

It IS. It literally is. That's the most accurate description of modern "journalism" I've ever seen. For the millionth time, we stopped trusting "the system" because it was addicted to lying for profit (and influence). Sooner or later people catch on.

A well balanced diet.

A knowledge of history, unedited video footage of actual events, common sense, scepticism (of everyone, not just the 'enemy').

I've talked to reasonably intelligent programmers who got upset at a politicians speech they'd never heard. All they did was read a paraphrase of it from their favourite media outlet (who happened to be ill-disposed towards said politician).

A lot of the `events` of 2020-2021 were captured on unedited video. Few people I've talked to bothered to watch it. They relied on journalists. Didn't stop them forming a strong opinion though.

And without a knowledge of history (and mine is admittedly basic), you have zero context.

Never had a problem with any of this. Yes, it is time-consuming, but so is everything in business. Maybe if I have someone to open a business in my name, do all the work, and I just sit and drink margaritas at the beach all day, none of work would be time-consuming for me.

But back to reality, everything in life is time-consuming. But, that is why it is so important to have a healthy profit margin and enough revenue in to hire a bookkeeper - so it takes you zero time.

But, even still, the real issue is that most business people don't know sh-t about accounting, don't know about accounting controls, don't know about so much, that they can't really evaluate anything anyways. How many companies have I been with or known someone that works at them that have been ripped off by embezzlement, because the company didn't know about controls. Too many. Rita Crundwell who was the Comptroller and Treasurer of the town of Dixon, Illinois is an especially juicy case of embezzlement. Crundwell stole nearly $2.5 million per year from the city. Crundwell with embezzling $53 million over the prior 22 years. And I think it was more, because she worked for a longer period than that, but no records were available. There was a great analysis of it, and wow, was it great. Just so fascinating.

I have a lot of experience in accounting and bookkeeping, so I really enjoy it. I don't know, it doesn't really take me a long time, I do it every day, so it takes me less than 4 or 5 minutes per day. Sometimes a little longer, sometimes less.

10 years ago I'd agree with your sentiment. But now? I really think peak oil is overblown. A realistic scenario is linear or polynomial increases in oil prices over the next couple decades. The long tail of oil may end up at $10-20 a gallon before electric vehicles replace it completely.

Electric vehicle technology is ready to replace oil for all commuter and in-city use cases. Is it cheaper maybe not, but its not 10x more expensive. Maybe people will have to have an electric sedan instead of a $50k SUV. But people will make do.

According to https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-produc... 66% of US oil usage goes to transportation. If we shift all short in-cities transportation to electric we can save oil for long haul trucks, trains, ships, planes, and industrial/agricultural uses.

As oil supplies dwindle the price will increase until most of the demand (transportation) is shifted to electric vehicles. Food and plastics might increase in price. But the average American will be able to continue their car heavy lifestyle by switching to electric.

I'm very optimistic on the future of solar and wind power. We may see average energy prices decrease significantly despite phasing out oil, coal and natural gas. But even if there are no further improvements in renewables I think electric vehicles will be good enough to avoid a peak oil crisis.

Lovely sentiment but it doesn’t translate to actual immigration policy.

And, chances are, these two presidents were probably talking about white immigrants, given the racism and slavery of the time. Are you familiar with James Madison’s policies with Native Americans? He privately thought they couldn’t be civilized and wanted white immigrants to eventually mix with and displace them into irrelevance.

absurd-sql[1] is the coolest thing I've seen in this space so far. sqlite.js brings sqlite to the browser via wasm, and then absurd-sql implements the storage layer in IndexedDb. So now we have an sqlite compatible db in the browser to play with.

There is also alasql[3] which is implemented in js, and lovefield[2] from Google which seems like an experiment that is now abandoned.

First, you could implement a REST/GraphQL cache in SQL. This would require maintaining mappings of your API response fields to SQL tables.

Going further, you could implement your backend API on the client, and have requests to it go directly to your browser SQL db. The benefit of this is you write your API once, and you get full offline support. If you don't need "local-first" then it's just a matter of figuring out when a query becomes invalid on the server. I could show instant results from local db, and then send a query to the server to ask if the data I already have in my cache can fulfill this request. Could optimize this on the server by listening to DML queries via WAL/LISTEN. WebSockets would be used to maintain real-time updates to only the data you are viewing.

You could also just use SQL directly as your UI API and then trigger these queries on the backend (respecting security of course).

What's doesn't feel optimal though is subscribing to sqlite.js updates in the browser. This makes me feel like we need an SQL db written in JS.

Also, if our DB is running in the same execution environment as our frontend and has one consumer, we could store each row as a JS object, and then reference this directly in our views, and subscribe to updates on a row-by-row basis. So if you are rendering a large table, if a column in a single row changes, when this row is updated in the database, instead of re-rendering the entire table manually, (or smartly detecting if the query was invalidated), you just bind to updates on the row instance, which is what the db is actually storing. I think this would reduce huge amounts of code.

Local-first is a little more difficult. There is some good exploration here[4].

I think writing a db in JS on the backend is not such a bad idea either. The hot paths would be written as Rust addons, but the majority of stuff people want today is just implementing the right logic to automatically handle denormalizations and subscriptions which we already hack together in our application layer using JS et al.

> What’s needed is for news organizations to not only report facts, but stop telling stories in ways that only benefit their own ideological systems.

This is not a new phenomenon; it’s been happening for a looooong time. Look at the difference in how white and Black newspapers reported on the Tulsa race massacre [1]:

”More Than Two Hundred White and Colored Men, Women and Children Were Killed in the Bloody or Horrible Race Riots at Tulsa, Okla.”

vs.

“Two Whites Dead in Race Riot” and “Many More Whites Are Shot”

All factual headlines! But some of them pretty egregiously support one particular ideological position. This was a full century ago.

I tested this, and you're right: Their Tor service runs the (in my opinion nearly as usable) older version.

It's plausible that Proton does not care about their Tor service, but there may be another reason: The new version relies more on Javascript code than their old version, and a Tor user is more likely to browse with scripts disabled than a regular user. Proton may be holding back the rollout of the newer version until they have tested it more without Javascript. This is only a hypothesis, and I came up with it just now; take it for what it is.
Journalism is pay to play anyway.

If you aren't a mainstream politician, you literally have to buy ads to get coverage. Outside of politics it works this way as well. Heck, just look at games journalism.

News channels also hate absolutely anything that takes attention away from their content and their advertisers. Thus video games, dungeons & dragons, religion or anything else that holds the attention of masses of people are to be branded as societal evils.

The best thing that literally everyone can do is stop watching and focus on what's important in your life. Build the community around you.

> Yes some empires went away, but we still read writings from Ancient Greece, so is it correct to say even that civilization ended?

I get your point, but I think it misses the mark. By this measure, no civilization has ever ended. If you go that far, you have to argue that the end of a civilization is the same as the end of the human species.

I think it's helpful to think of it more like the end of the French revolution. No one can agree on a point in time when the revolution ended, but we all agree that it happened.

Intellectuals already see how news corporations are too busy serving their echo-chambers. Thus, the trust got eroded over the years and it has just gotten worse.

In order to be effective news source, you need to separate truth and opinion. Reporting stories even if they're uncomfortable for their own customer base goes directly against their business interest (revenue, clickrate, etc.). So echo chambers get louder. Trust is earned by consistently confronting difficult facts.

I suspect they are just referring to the basic social fabric, so to speak. If everybody has a variety of mostly trustworthy sources that act as implicit or explicit verifiers of each other, then everybody has a fairly robust ability to gather information about the world - including the trustworthiness of the various parts of their 'net'.

This sort of thing seems to have, however, somewhat broken down in recently years. At a minimum I think most people would say these networks are at least smaller and more insular than they were in the past.

If it's all in good faith, this might not be so terrible. If the aforementioned trusted CEOs faithfully and accurately are able to point out media they believe is trustworthy and keep an eye on those outlets, it could potentially work as a way to kick start the rejuvenation of these networks.

Now, this relies on these CEOs being both trusted and trustworthy. That is a fairly substantial assumption in my opinion.

But if it's all in good faith it's possible to read this as not Orwellian at all, but rather more informing a section of the community that there is something they can do for the community, and then asking them to do it.
In my view, the primary reason we are edging toward a new civil war is that politicians have decided to wield the law as a weapon in the growing urban/rural cultural divide.

Classical liberalism is a necessity for pluralism, and pluralism is necessary for a country as diverse as the United States to survive. As soon as you drop "live and let live" as a fundamental principle and start trying to micromanage personal choice, you're on the road to division.

The Right should stop trying to ban gay marriage or abortion or TG folks from public schools. The Left should stop trying to ban guns or family gatherings or large sugary drinks or the rebel flag or traditional pronouns.

Until American can break the habit of trying to control one another and make other Americans live a certain way, we will never live up to E Pluribus Unum.

From googling the popup earlier it looked to me like one of those 'i will dismiss this annoying popup straight away' type things.

When i spend bank money i have to enter my pin and authenticate. For my phone carrier money/credit i get no formal bank transaction screen like i do with Apple pay or similar. It's just a popup similar to those never-ending iOS update popups.

Why? Both are money. Why is spending bank money much more respected than spending phone carrier money?

Exploitation by telecoms has been normalized, so we still accept things like this happening (like OP having to buy €5 extra credit for being 5 cents 'short').
