> The idea that personality is a stable feature after adulthood is simply a cultural phenomena

No it's not. Twin studies show that personality is largely genetically determined, ie. twins that were separated at birth and raised separately largely have the same personalities, levels of happiness and life satisfaction, and even similar jobs and spouses. People tend to overestimate environmental influences.
i don't know much about neurology, but isn't it a bit of a problem to define such a diverse set of symptoms under the same label? Are we even sure, that this variety of symptoms can be explained by a single root cause, or if they are even related at all?
> It's pretty rich seeing the North call out the US and South foe those tactics - truly the pot calling the kettle black.

Let me correct you: it's not "the North". It's called Vietnam and the US waged a war against it (mostly against South Vietnam).

Also, it's the world -- we -- who is appalled at the way the US behaved in Vietnam, including its assassination campaigns, Agent Orange, Napalm, mass murder, etc.

As for what may have happened, unlike you I'm not a mind reader to know what was false or faked. I do know if the US hadn't waged war on Vietnam, things would have been way better, if only because many thousands more Vietnamese would have lived, the country wouldn't have been destroyed and who knows, an unscathed Vietnam might have turned way more sympathetic to the West.
it really doesn't matter whether the public hates KYC or not, because Law Enforcement will alwaya have the regulators ears, and eventually the KYC and AML can get pushed hard enough to increase traceability enough to start potentially prosecuting white collar crimes.

And if you don't think there's a war on cash with the push for CBDC's you're high. Or have you not noticed the going on 2 year coin shortage entirely because someone just isn't interested in keeping up the coinage supply? Or how there are currency transaction reports to law enforcement on any sizable cash withdrawal, or how banks train employees to red flag any type of regular transacting just below the SAR monitoring point?

It is too profitable and powerful a diplomatic tool to be a realistic outcome in my cynical view for government to do anything but double down on financial surveillance.
My goal is to become a lean, fit, machine. First I have to drop a lot of weight. I started 4 weeks ago and I'm down 17 pounds so far. Basically I'm just limiting myself to about 500-700 calories of protein-rich foods a day, plus a multivitamin, a calcium/magnesium/zinc supplement, and more recently, a fiber supplement.

It's very dangerous, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't put their body through extreme circumstances in the past and knows their actual (not percieved) limits. I haven't pooped in a week, and my last bowel movement was gnarly.

A safer rate of weight-loss should not be more than 2 pounds a week, or approximately a 1,000 calorie defecit per day. An online search for a basal metabolic rate calculator should be a starting point.

Advice to others, no matter what process you take: I recommend not weighing yourself more than once a week - it's a mental thing.

Very few things are harder to configure or maintain than they are on a cloud service, because if they were, someone (e.g. you) would get frustrated and make them easier, and then they wouldn't be for anyone else.

Ah yes, S3 can handle serving that many requests and keep everything online. But then don't you get a bill for $72 billion dollars?
> Responses to your comment are contrary

Saying anything that isn't 100% positive about psychedelics on the internet tends to bring out a lot of psychedelic fans who vehemently disagree. Any time I comment about psychedelics online without a unilaterally glowing endorsement, my comments' score bounces up and down as much as any other controversial topic.

It's fascinating to see even the counter arguments here tap into exactly the sort of mystical beliefs I was talking about: Questioning reality, suggesting that maybe psychedelic induced experiences are revealing an alternate reality and so on. A common theme is a belief that psychedelic users are seeing the real reality through their drug use, which is supposedly unavailable to those of us who aren't inducing these artificial altered states with drugs.

> But I’m real damn certain that the ‘enlightenment’ is basically being high. Drunk on a false sense of peace with the universe which exists only as a malfunction in your brain’s wiring. Beware people who tout those effects. They are out of touch with reality.

Well said. I haven't known anyone to go as deep as your friends, but I have known a few people who started to believe that their drug-induced states were something more than just a drug-induced feeling. It's scary to watch someone lose grip with the difference.

It's also scary to read all of the deadly serious comments here on HN suggesting such clearly false beliefs might be true.

> I have read there is clinical potential to help PTSD sufferers. I’m not denying this. But 99% of usage is not happening is carefully, scientifically studied and controlled situations. Keeping a trip journal is not scientific, even if you have a chem phd.

I've read just about every study on psychedelics and therapy recently. In every* single trial, the psychedelics are part of an extended therapy program involving as many as 20 therapy sessions for every 1 psychedelic session. Anyone taking psychedelics ad-hoc at home and expecting to replicate the study results is not coming close at all.
> imperialism typically has to do with having a ruler

No, it doesn't, unless by “ruler” you mean the metropolitan state.
Mostly just describing my experiences with normal psilocybin mushrooms.

The visuals were very noticeable for me, but they would mostly enhance whatever it was that I was looking at. Peoples heads would morph and bend (the best way I can describe that is the music video “Drugs” by Ratatat), trees would breath and the branches would look like giant mushrooms, I’d see slight colors and geometry on flat surfaces, my phone would feel like liquid. The body high was also amazing. All of this for me was on a 7.5g dosage.

In contrast with LSD, it would completely change everything that I could see. I woke up once after going to sleep on alcohol/LSD, and it looked like I was in a cartoon, and I continued to trip for another 8 hours.
More noteable to me, it appears to top out writing at 6MBps!! I can't find any information on ram buffers- perhaps there are some deep ones about but I've searched & don't think so- & my first feeling is that this seems like an obvious & severe limitation on high-speed data-capture. Most astronomy seems like it happens at long time-scales but it still strikes me as shocking that such an incredible instrument is only able to use a very very small amount of it's aggregate sensing throughput at any given time. I'm not sure the use case & I admit it'd be minor compared to primary missions, but being able to take high-bandwidth clips- a multi-spectral version of a phone doing a slow-mo clip- seems like a nice to have.

And for comparison, JWST uses Ka-band (~26GHz) to upload at over 3x the drive-write rate, 18.75MBps. Maybe we can just live-stream instead? :)

I would also love to know more about this storage in general. What is the storage medium? Are there regular flash chips here, or something more exotic? What kind of expected life is there? What kind of unusual failure protections are built in? Really interesting set of questions raised here.

I read American Kingpin and liked it a lot. There’s also Silk Road by Eileen Ormsby. Less entertaining but I remember learning something new that I hadn’t picked up about the case elsewhere.
Definitely Python. You can be writing simple programs with a very small subset of the language and a couple of concepts.

Easy to code many day-to-day algorithms.
It's hard to imagine that anyone believes that America's primary goal for 75 years has been to see Russia destroyed.

> Psychedelics obviously cause you to hallucinate. So why don't I hear about more accidents? Does they seem to leave your common sense, judgement, etc, in place?

I have a group of friends in the medical field in emergency rooms.

They actually see a lot of people coming through the doors with psychedelic-induced issues, either directly or by injuring themselves.

Higher psychedelic doses tend to be relatively debilitating, though, so it somewhat limits what people can do on them. Sadly this means many of the accidents are more likely to progress to death because the person isn't thinking clearly enough to extract themself from the situation (drowning, house on fire, weather exposure, lost in the woods, etc.)
If you're going to do solar on an RV, you really should read Handy Bob Solar too [0]. The site formatting sucks, it's very much wall-o-text, and he's absolutely right in everything he says and rants about regarding RV solar.

Far too many solar installers just treat a system as the entry to people coming back for more, when the problem is that they don't know enough to adjust it properly for the stuff that was installed in the first place.

[0]: https://handybobsolar.wordpress.com/

//EDIT: So, apparently, a site that's been static since 2011 and I've linked quite a lot over the years was updated again in 2020 with some ranting about Covid. You can safely ignore that, and read his older writings on solar installs, because just about everything he says about that is correct, at a "Spend five years hands on with solar and you'll eventually come to agree with him, no matter how loony he sounds about some of it when you start in."
again, that's cool. However, you elect people who then go to Washington, turn around, give their blessing to tge Fed/DHS etc... to do it, or delegate doing their jobs to tge Executive with a minimum of oversight.

if it truly were so unpopular, it'd be on legislators hit lists and talking points. That's the opposite of what I see.
Gas furnaces can heat water or oil for radiators too, which requires no fan.

Interesting. I've heard there's a few side effects when clearing parasites, more nausea for instance.

Brain fog, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, extreme high blood pressure, clotting issues, extreme fatigue, chest congestion, sore throat, sense of smell was haywire. All this got better than I had felt in the three months of suffering within a few hours of the first dose. Then better after each additional daily dose. After five days I felt well again. Only had chest/lung inflammation left to deal with. Prednisone fixed that. I don't live in an area where parasites and worms are at all common.

> No Section Numbering

Actually, you can just write "numbersections: true" in your front matter. You can also add "toc: true" to get a Table of Contents.

For better control over styles, you can also tell Pandoc to use a DOCX or ODT document (the latter doesn't seem to work as well as the former) as a reference to how to style specific styles when generating a word processor document.

pandoc --reference-doc custom-reference.docx -o resume.docx resume.md

Then use LibreOffice or whatever to convert the DOCX to PDF.
On the flip side, I work at a 100+ person studio and have enjoyed great work life balance the entire 4 years I've been working there, including a major release. It hasn't killed my passion or made me like video games any less.

I also work on a game I like and have played it a fair bit without being paid to do so.

It is hard to break into games, and harder still to find work on game projects you want to work on, but it is possible. Lots of people do.
No it is not feasible. You are not digging up ground under then tens of thousands of houses that already exist in the city in any economically feasibly way.

I have found this to be more true than makes sense.

Even going with bare TeX is surprisingly nicer for plaintext files than I would have imagined. Yes, figures can be hard. But not really much harder than they are in any other tool. With the bonus that I have never really seen a document regress with the addition of new sections.

Really the hardest part of figures and such is coming up with the actual figure in the first place. Most layout issues are ultimately solved by editing the figure.

It doesn't remove the need, it just handwaves it away.

You can't just ignore theft, and it's definitely not a positive aspect of a system like that.
Except that the kind of long distance drivers you suggest in the first paragraph would get minimal benefit from a PHEV, since it only covers the first 40km or thereabouts.

My wife and I only put like 10000km per year on our car, so I generally run down the battery fully on my PHEV and just touch a bit of the gas. That would barely make a dent in a multi-hour commuter's usage.

The hard part is the short-term solutions are unpalatable: pushing back hard on oversized vehicles that are wasteful of fuel and hazardous to people who choose small, efficient, green options.

A Hummer EV uses so much battery to build you could make three Nissan Leafs... but if you didn't make the Hummer EV, the driver would stick to a monstrous huge gas-burner.

So fundamentally, fighting climate change in a world without plentiful batteries demands strong disincentive to driving oversized vehicles.

Which is, of course, politically unpalatable because destroying the earth, obstructing visibility, and threatening your fellow drivers in a hypermassive oaf of a truck is freedom.

Does petrol just appear at the station ready for use? Less than half of crude oil makes it into your car.

It travels thousands of miles from the well to refinery, where a chunk of it is burnt to power fractional distillation and separate out Sulphur, impurities, bitumen, kerosene and other stuff that would ruin your car. It's burnt to power catalytic cracking, to convert heavier compounds into something combustion engines can burn. Obviously t is consumed in engines of trucks and ships to deliver it to a petrol station.

Your theory of Soviet collapse runs very much against recorded facts that you can easily look up, though. The Soviet union wasn't made up of 'other countries' and Soviet satellite states were not dependent on the Soviet Union for food and no Warsaw Pact country or Soviet republic had starving people in 1989.

They were not utterly oblivious to the outside world and accepting of the government and party line from 1917 to 1990. The last one already sounds completely implausible it should give you pause - that would make generations of Soviet people utter naifs. They weren't.
Along with bureaucracy and corruption , India also has a week central government. One of the reasons I find it amusing when some compare China's rise with India. It's completely apples to oranges comparison. Because of this, India will forever be about 20 years behind China in terms of growth.

He may mean JavaScript not Java. I get a lot of we newbies asking referring to Java when they mean JavaScript. Especially when in the context of web development.

For the parent: Java is completely different to JavaScript - the similarity is an accident of marketing and an original vision of the Web (in which most code was written in Java not JavaScript.)

Suburbs don't have to be structured around cars! You can have lots of trees, lots of grass, be removed from bustle, and still be able to get around by car. The problem is that zoning rules have essentially regulated these sorts of suburbs out of existence. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWsGBRdK2N0

Windows uses a dynamic page file for swapping so it will just keep increasing the page file size until it hits the limits of the OS or config settings. You can do the same thing in OSs like Linux and BSD but most distros still default to fixed swap partitions. For example macOS uses page/swap files instead of a swap partition by default. It's just a design choice. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Linux and BSD distros usually are more aggressive about kicking out applications in favor of keeping the system stable but the trade off with OSs like Windows is misbehaving applications can more easily take down the OS.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that there are people whose full-time job is dealing with the fallout of cancellations and over-booking. From my conversations with one of them I'd hazard a guess that it's more or less ad hoc and there isn't any kind of cleverly computed priority algorithm.

In another response you're saying you are 32. you are little more than one(!) decade into your adult and professional life. Christoph Waltz barely was making a living acting until he was 50 years old. With the exception of maybe being a soccer world class athlete you can pretty much still do anything you want.

An older guy I used to work with in China who was sent to some labor farm for half a decade and who only went on to study in his thirties told me when this discussion came up one time "don't worry, if you're younger than 45 you can just start over, everyone here has done it five times"

> That sounds great to me, but I don’t see apartment buildings here in NYC being built with induction cook tops.

Why not? Most new construction is "luxury" priced, as since the land/structure is expensive anyway, and it's only marginally more expensive to put in "premium" appliances that allow you to charge a significant rent premium, everyone does that.

Of course new apartments are going to be built with induction cooktops when gas isn't an option. Induction isn't even that much more expensive.

This is untrue. I explicitly acknowledged that the context is mostly in household use (did you miss that?), but this statement goes too far.

I don't think this follows. There's not THAT much that goes into making a furnace, but it emits a hell of a lot of emissions every year that it's running. I suspect they paid back the CO2 cost of the new equipment relatively quickly.
Dear Men - a relationships podcast by Melanie Curtin. It covers lots of relationship topics: communication, intimacy, sex, emotions, therapy, trauma, etc. The host/author runs a counseling group for men and does surveys on related topics to her “Big Sexy Dataset” (a few thousand opt-in volunteers to her surveys). She frequently does one episode with an interview guest on a given topic, then follows it up with a group of girls on the same topic then follows that with a group of guys on the same topic.

A close second is How to Save The World by Katie Patrick. It is primarily about how to find and utilize cross-functional skills to influence/persuade others into improving the world in lots of ways (sustainability, energy use, ethical eating, etc). She takes a really practical approach as opposed to heavy-handed and/or smug tactics frequently associated with these campaigns. A great resource for NGOs, software devs, academics, policy makers, and others.
It's not a CPU, so no... But if it were a microcontroller then it could've worked. The thing is you still need to look at slightly less ridiculously mass produced stuff for that, since the absolute cheapest stuff is still optimized to hell and back and won't include a CPU if it doesn't need one.
My 4 ton heat pump draws 11.5 amps. Not sure where you get 50. And a heat pump is just a regular a/c unit, only it has a reversing valve. At the bottom end, you are looking at an extra $500-$1000 for a heat pump vs regular a/c. Adding a gas furnace adds at least $2000.
