Oh come on. It's amazing how a pro-communist editorial has to so thoroughly twist itself up in knots to support the CCP narrative (which it simply regurgitates whole), that it ends up painting a lefty liberal group like the ICG as a sinister imperialist front. It even manages to paint these guy's pro-North Korean activities and promotion of a positive image of NK as somehow evidence of their Imperialist agenda. One of them posting photos of North Korean propaganda parades is painted as "photographing military personnel". If it wasn't deeply sad, it would be hilarious.
Trading in Monopoly money would also solve some problems. I'm still not going to use it.
The translation from the GP comment is: No.

You are better off using a different cryptocurrency that can scale and handle payments with extremely low fees better than Ethereum or failing that use something like Apple Pay.

Even if you did all of those suggestions, you still need to pay the gas fees to put it on a layer 2 solution, or that rollup solution / zkSync contraption the web3 guys speak of in order to have 'less' transaction fees in the first place.

After all of those steps, the gas fee will still cost more than paying for your groceries in the supermarket. Making it totally useless for paying for your food.

One more thing:

You better have enough to cover the gas fees for approving and transferring otherwise the transaction can 'fail' and is non refundable.

No wonder the banks are still laughing at this 'payments' contraption.
This might be true but in no way refutes grandparent's point.

As the owner of two Teslas, I don't recommend them to anyone who needs a reliable form of transport to make it to their unforgiving 9-to-5 job. They are far too expensive and unreliable for that.

That said, until any other carmaker can get to the point where their EV has the tech and range, I won't buy anything else. They're just too much fun.
To me, this study has a few "smells" that makes it dubious:

> We collected cross-sectional data between November 2019 and July 2020 from
self-selected respondents recruited via media related to psychedelic use such as podcasts and online psychedelic
research conference presentations.

This is already a significant bias in participants.

> Mental health was assessed with the questions “Do you currently have any psychological, mental health or
addiction concerns?” Participants who endorsed concerns identified specific mental health and substance use
categories from a drop down menu, and were allowed to select more than one category

So mental health is not actually accessed medically and simply self-reported.

To be clear I lack an informed opinion on microdosing psychedelics, but any study that picks its participant from a community engaging in X to study X but then uses the same community to sample their control group (for lack of a better expression) is questionable.

EDIT: Page 6 has a table that compare microdosers/non-microdosers and the latter was actually less likely to self-report *any* mental health or substance use problem by 5%. It's only when using the DASS-21 subscales that they can draw the conclusion that non-microdosers are more anxious, depressed or stressed. Their microdosers/non-microdosers ratio is also almost 1:1.
It's better to read this as just a form of "genuine politics" in the sense that it's one group saying they want more resources than they have.

Here, the message is basically: our people want more of what your people have. ("Proper ratios" arent the point). This is what most of these movements are about, a certain type of economic-political warefare most accute when high-status positions are rare and there's a lot of competition for them.

I think this perspective also, in some sense, "humanises, justifies and rationalises" this type of agit-prop. Ie., I actually have a lot of sympathy for "genuine politics" -- ie., competition over finite resources and their allocation.

It's just some people saying, "we think we're owed more than we have" -- and that's a real political claim everyone, at somepoint, makes justifiably. Here, I say: let them make their demands. It's part of politics. It is likely this author (or their group) wants a resource: a job in journalism. There arent many. If they have some grounds to demand it, let them demand it. (It is however dressed up and disguised in this weird theology of race, gender, etc.).

This is necessary, but how do you expect people to do this when a lot of climate solutions puts them out of work? We need a coordinated effort that addresses the immediate economic problems of the working class created by taking serious climate action, because that’s where a lot of the resistance comes from, among voters. Somebody who has worked their whole life mining coal can’t suddenly pivot to working in a battery or solar panel factory without very specific conditions being met by the economy and regulators. To say otherwise is handwaving.
I think the premise of the article is that this is _more_ of a problem when you're wealthy and you want to be "as healthy as possible". If you're poor you're only going to pay the bare minimum to stay alive so capitalism takes over.
> If you don't care about an audience, why spend the effort to maintain an online presence that requires time and money?

1. The cost is minimal ($5/mo)

2. The time is roughly the same as not putting it online, as the time consuming activity is the writing itself.

3. Putting it online makes it easier for me to access my own writings from anywhere when I need to jog my memory.

I've literally pulled out my phone and went to one of my blog posts to share an embedded photo of something with someone in person while telling the story I shared on the post in a social gathering, much the same way others will use google on their phone to do similar.

4. Putting it online makes it possible for others to access it. I don't /need/ an audience, but I also think that "sharing is caring" and that sharing my thoughts, experiences, and knowledge online allows for the Internet to grow as a repository of human knowledge in some small way further enhancing the world.

"Anti" racists are racists, leading to the last few years seeing an enormous increase in the number of explicit racists in the public discourse. Their methods are very similar to those of the groups they claim to shun while their numbers are far higher. They have also managed to achieve positions of power from where to express their explicit racism and have been doing so at an increasing pace because they don't get any real blowback. I can only assume this to be caused by the fact that this is such a recent and brazen phenomenon that people are just stunned into silence, not willing to believe that the public discourse has suddenly been set back a century.
From what little i've seen of this guy; he appears to have no actual technical understand or depth to anything he reports on and basically just echos pop science and press releases.

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

> However, no mention of monetization strategy.

Thanks for bringing this up. I was hoping to give a brief introduction and then to field questions.

I will definitely not be selling personal data, or data otherwise. I do have some monetization ideas, and I'm really excited to try them out. They're all going to fit nicely with the core concept of the platform: periodicity. One of them is advertising, and there are others. If I can find good features to sell with subscriptions, I will. The important thing at this point for me is to demonstrate value, and then to monetize without disappointing or alienating users.

> Also, no E2E

Pony is currently a one-person startup and the focus has been on fleshing out the concept, building solid apps for desktop and mobile, and getting those apps into the hands of users. Privacy is something I take incredibly seriously on a deeply personal, ideological level. While I consider myself a really solid full stack developer and believe that Pony's infrastructure is secure, I do not have the requisite experience with cryptography to honestly represent to people that this is a private platform. I hope that with enough traction and some investment, I'll be able to hire an expert to help add privacy features that I can advertise in good faith.
I don't think the point you made in the generational section of your comment is entirely valid. I do get digital goods, I myself have owned furni on Habbo. However, in that case you buy a digital good and can display it in your room (Habbo) or on your character (TF2), and Sulake and Valve make sure only people who paid for the item can show off with it.

In the case of NFTs I can just download any NFT myself and show off with it. It's like everyone being able to show off a hat in TF2, but the people having paid only have the advantage they can boast in chat about the fact they paid for something available to everyone.
Space elevators don't work on the moon. While gravity is weaker, the moon's rotation period is also much lower. To build a space elevator, its center of mass must be in a stationary orbit over the body. A geostationary orbit around the moon (selenostationary) would be about 88,000 km. The moon's Hill sphere, the region where its gravity dominates and thus things can stay in stable orbit around it, is only about 58,000 km. Basically a lunar space elevator would be so tall that Earth's gravity would yoink it off the moon.

You could potentially build a skyhook on the moon, which a space elevator is merely a special case of, but you lose a lot of the advantages of a space elevator - namely you still need something to blast off the surface to reach the skyhook, and you have to carefully time it because everything's moving at extremely high speed. Saves a lot of fuel though.
It was, and that helped make it so great.
An author here. elfshaker uses per-file deduplication. When building manyclangs packs, we observed that the deduplicated content is about 10 GiB in size. After compression with `elfshaker pack`, that comes down to ~100 MiB.

There is also a usability difference: elfshaker stores data in pack files, which are more easily shareable. Each of the pack files released as part of manyclangs ~100 MiB and contains enough data to materialize ~2,000 builds of clang and LLVM.
More accurately: People who claim to be microdosing also claim to have lower levels of depression and anxiety, compared to people who claim they are not microdosing.

None of this tells me whether or not people who have the time and money to microdose are simply in a situation more conducive to mental wellbeing.

People hate on tech interviews, but it's honestly a lot more fair than traditional interviewing if done properly. You only gauge the candidate on their ability to solve and think through a problem. I also follow a trainer's pattern who doesn't read the candidate's resume before a technical screen to further reduce bias.
> Nobody with as close of ties to white supremacy has ever gotten as near to the presidency in the US as Marine Lepen.

But there is only so much a person can control. And it mostly lines with how much money they have. If I'm poor I can't afford to buy a more expensive but less carbon polluting product than one that was built overseas and shipped here. You could try boycotting a certain company till they change their mind but you have to convince an lot of people to do the same. Not to mention companies whose clients are other businesses. The ones heading the companies that use of fossil fuel can make decisions that have a much greater impact. This is whybi believe a top down regulatory approach can get you much quicker results
By talking about policies that uplift the poor generally. And worker friendly policies all around.

If more black people are poor, then more black people will be helped by such policies. If we want to help the poor, let's help the poor.

If we only help the "black poor" we have to precisely codify what being black is, and I'm sick of such race science. The argument that being black implies the need of additional help is even _further_ condescending.

second thought - here in the USA in the mid-2000s there were waves of identity theft and also mortgage fraud.. massive waves, very large numbers of accounts and even larger dollar amounts. I believe it was BANK-related employess and USA-based people who knew the credit system, performing quite a bit of all of that, with eyes open! the reputed phrase was "you wont be here, I wont be here" about the consequences down the road.

Sure, name-your-enemy Eastern Europeans are caught doing these things, outside of the reach of the casual US law.. but is it ONLY outsiders? or, you just dont know how badly your own money system employees are stealing from you now.
For years the fossil fuel industry has been promoting "individual solutions" like recycling and carbon footprint to make us feel like we are doing something, and to direct anger away from these oil companies

> and my guess is part of the problem is fat people who think diet soda is an alternative to actually dieting

Reality TV is essentially fake. Even the real parts, since by its nature it focuses on the strange, absurd, bizarre and unusual. It's not that these things don't exist, but if they were common, normal, or usual, they wouldn't be featured on reality TV.

The reasoning should be like this: "I found support for the idea that fat people think diet soda is a good alternative to dieting on reality TV, so this idea is probably uncommon, unusual and strange."

Right. I’m saying expert human players of deep and complex games still have a heuristic tied to human concepts: piece count, piece value, safety, mobility, etc. So a professional considering a line of play might be turned off that line if one of those measures would suffer.

There are some amazing games of Alpha Zero playing Stockfish (the other best chess program) where it seems Alpha Zero just doesn’t give a fuck. It’s just sacrificing it’s own pieces and not clear (to a human… or Stockfish) what the plan is. Later it achieves a zugzwang against Stockfish, which is the most humiliating thing it could do (if either program had emotions).
Thanks for working on this. It reminds me of a social app called Slowly (https://slowly.app/en/) where you write "letters" to people and they are delivered based on the approximate physical distance between them.

It's common for letters across countries to take >12 or sometimes even >24 hours. It's led people to a lot of meaningful relationships/friendships, they publish some as stories: https://slowly.app/en/story/featured/

I don't think any of us can say whether any technology or product is inherently good, but if millions of people are using it, are happy doing so, and they say it's good for them, then that sounds pretty nice to me.

I've heard similar arguments about movies and video games in the past, and it's never that clear cut.
New home routers (the kind that ISPs give out to clients) with IPv6 support include default deny firewall on externally-initiated connections, precisely for that reason.

So I would say this echoes my experience with it so far -- it is definitely a work in progress! However, I tend to approach Koka as if it were Standard ML with an effect system (up to a point), so the lack of a full imperative API hasn't been felt too much. I am more missing ad-hoc polymorphism than imperative tooling.

I am not sure I understand your comment about mut variables; my understanding is there are two types of mutable variables in Koka -- 'local' and 'ref'. 'local' is a locally mutable variable, and 'refs' are globally shareable. A 'ref' can be shared between functions, 'local' is just to give an imperative API using mutable variables. How 'local' works kind of confuses me so I tend to avoid it altogether in favour of local names (i.e. 'val' rather than 'var') and tail recursion (instead of loops with mutation). 'ref' seems quite usable to me and seems to reflect the SML usage of it.

I have felt the pain of a lack of an array, but I ported over an Okasaki data structure which has served well for a random-update, sequential data structure. Their data structures in the stdlib just have comments that say 'TODO': https://github.com/koka-lang/koka/blob/master/lib/std/data/m... that I am hoping are open to pull requests.

Maybe people like LePen are growing in popularity because people like you absolutely refuse to acknowledge the social, cultural, and financial costs of importing millions of, as you put it, "brown people"? Maybe these people are tired of being dehumanized as nazis for attempting to voice legitimate grievances?
It's important to have studies. How else can we justify our microdosing trends? Obviously we'd love an RCT, randomization to those who are willing, and placebo controls to help fool those who are motivated by the thought of taking a treatment.

Folks, if you are thinking about writing a book and have done anything else difficult (marathon, big peak, startup, having kids, thesis, etc), you can do it! It's a matter of discipline and time.

Now, whether the book will be a big seller or not... The answer is probably not. But, as I mention above, you'll learn a lot and as @ghaff mentions, it will be professionally impressive.
Right? I can't get over the "meta" point here of what we're here doing: This is not a conceptually difficult problem to fix and a whole lot of countries besides the one I live in have solved it quite easily, but here we are having to contend with it. It's just quite frustrating.
Claiming that feminism does not talk about these issues is at best a sign of naivety about feminism and at worst being disingenuous.

One may disagree with their conclusion that the origin of these problem also has to do with patriarchy, but to claim that these forms of suffering that disproportionately affect men are ignored by feminists is false.
That's a good point(s). I don't need lots of obvious messages about what my system is doing if I already understand it. However, I'd like to see a "verbose" or "-vvvv" or "DEBUG=9" for any service.

I think I might be speaking from bias because I only use about 8~10 AWS services, but perhaps if I jumped into their ML stuff I wouldn't know wtf is going on. So maybe a beginner-billing mode switch would be helpful.

While most new programmers don't like to RTFM (at all!) and expect a quick search of stackoverflow to solve everything, I think the number of complaints of stealth billing are SO high on HN that it appears systemic. That's not good.
