YMMV. I’ve found that it helps to turn off distractions and let my brain get in the right state to play with the problem, to look at it from different angles… basically brainstorming.

It’s pretty well known that marijuana helps to boost creativity; just look at all the music (and media in general) that’s been created by musicians high on pot.

Arguably, it’s effects have not been studied as well as regular drugs so perhaps that’s needed to make more objective statements about its effects.
If you want the service this is the only way forward I think.
For me I find that pot reduces background noise in my mind that would otherwise prevent me from becoming extremely focused.

When I'm high I can follow the instructions so hard that I won't notice a person standing next to me addressing me by name.
The article isn't super-clear but it at least casts this as being about things like NetJets as opposed to people taking up flying as a hobby. But it's probably a bit of both.
I don't know how long the records persist, but presumably for things like video surveillance footage the decay period would be quite fast. For full-text contents, less speedy but still fast. I can only truly envision long-term collection and storage of metadata - and even then, it's a big question how much is feasible and reasonable to store indefinitely.

It's likely that for your security camera footage to be accessed you would have to be targeted. It's likely that such targeting would only affect footage in the future or very recent past. But I'd grant that pervasive attackers can probably capture exponentially-decaying single video frames from millions of cameras if they were appropriately motivated, and those single frames could go back quite far.

The real problem here is the existence of such a system creates a kind of panopticon [0], with chilling effects not only on activity and discussion contrarian to the current administration, but also any future administration that may have access to electronic surveillance records. Without knowing how long records are kept, it is quite plausible that a future authoritarian state will misuse past records to target civilians.

I heavily dislike comments that try to insinuate that China, the one party state, the state where those who speak out against their government are often disappeared or 'change their mind' soon after (Alibaba CEO being a good example), and honestly could go on and on here, is the same 'evil' as the U.S.

I see that the parent was flagged and removed and that's fine, when I posted this the comment was still fresh. But I do feel that with how often this nonsense gets posted here, one should be allowed to refute it. I'm sorry if you saw this as 'feeding a troll' but I truly do see comments like those of OP on this site often, and it should be okay to refute them, less people start to believe its true simply because they see it on a daily basis.

Alternatively, from a couple of lines below:

To build and run Nitter in Docker:

$ docker build -t nitter:latest .
$ docker run -v $(pwd)/nitter.conf:/src/nitter.conf -d -p 8080:8080 nitter:latest

A prebuilt Docker image is provided as well:

$ docker run -v $(pwd)/nitter.conf:/src/nitter.conf -d -p 8080:8080 zedeus/nitter:latest

So one or two lines depending on if you're OK with pulling a provided image or not.

I use Plausible on https://allaboutberlin.com, mainly for privacy and UX reasons (no cookie notice).

It's good, but it doesn't replace Google Analytics at all. It tracks visits and events, but not navigation and user flow. It's severely lacking in detail compared to Analytics. It's a compromise, not a drop-in replacement.

However, it's excellent as a simple tracker for average website admins. I'm very happy with it. The maintainers have been nothing short of stellar with their support and transparency.
It's just that the AI crowd has made their bed so now they must lie in it.

It's true that openCL is more clunky to use then CUDA but the difference is not world shattering. So the AI people thought it was a good choice to gain a little bit in language ease of use and locking the entire industry to Nvidia because of it.

I can do that without "buying" a star. It is actually possible to just give money to people, NFTs didn't invent it.
The only time that canabis helps me personally at work is when I am almost at a burn out. Smoking on the weekend (not while working) it gives me a fresh start the next week, well rested. Never helped me to be a better developer while high, actually for me it is the oposit.
> It is definitely my preferred meeting app though. You just give someone a link; no install, no fuss, no muss.

I like Jitsi for that same reason: any meet.jit.si link is a meeting, just make one up or let the site do it for you. Nothing needed but a browser.

I would urge you to reconsider the car thing. There's a difference between being able to fix your own car/house (which I also derive a great sense of satisfaction from) and routinely taking the risk of debilitating lifelong health problems because of an accident that a newer car with better tires could have easily prevented. (I once spun out in the rain and totaled my car because my rear tires were bald, narrowly avoiding serious injury. Never again.)

I know that Mixpanel is very event focused, and it seems like the question is more on page tracking, but surprised that no one has mentioned it. Has mixpanel fallen out of favor or is the lack of mention because it's a bit out of scope for the OP?
I think your experience probably mimics most experience but years of hanging around people who smoked a lot showed me that it really does affect everyone differently.

I hear people talk about it like it's a miracle drug for pain management, but for me it makes pain worse. I spend the entire time focused on every pain in my body.

I knew a guy who concentrated on problems and coded better when he was stoned. Another who was an amazing chess player and had to smoke before he could play. Others who mixed records and played music while high and it enhanced their abilities. I tried to DJ techno once while high and it was a horrible trainwreck, and I can't focus more than 30 seconds at a time. I wrote a paper in university while high and it was the worst crap I ever wrote. Others swear by it.

Many of my friends were super social and enjoyed going out and doing things. It always made me paranoid, overly self-critical, and I spent the whole time taking myself apart and feeling sad.

So I didn't smoke it for almost 20 years. I tried it again recently now that it's legal here. Basically the same experience, even with "low THC, high CBD" strains.

It really comes down to YMMV. And yes, I saw many people with the same experience as you, including a close relative. Unproductive, unmotivated, and low concentration, and chronic.
I guess I could have phrased that a little differently so you couldn't pull a quote out of context and miss my point regarding scarcity in a gaming context. In the context of games I was referring to decentralized scarcity. I can recognize the example of a game being better if not everyone has the same cards (but this is still financially motivated since Pokemon is a profit making endeavor). But in that context, what value does decentralization have? Why is decentralized Pokemon better than centralized Pokemon in a way that doesn't boil down to at least one of the parties having a financial interest in decentralization? The whole idea of "forking games" seems pointless to me. If there is demand for a fork, why wouldn't a different centralized version satisfy it? The only added value is the preservation of financial stake in the game. One again the idea of scarcity leads back to financial gain.
I’m sorry but I don’t understand this, crypto assets are incredibly correlated. Web3 and all the eth type tokens/coins actually increase the value of BTC as they gain adoption. Sure BTC might theoretically get replaced by some of these alts one day, but Dorsey can easily move his investments if he sees that coming. Right now though I just don’t see how you can claim these web3 projects are damaging BTC, they’re helping it and they’re making Dorset’s investments go up, not down.
This thread is the perfect example of a lack of grounded thinking in the Bitcoin/crypto community - a disconnect from practical reality.

I first noticed this incongruence with time tested business models when all Bitcoin related business plans/pitch decks, they'd never even list price comparisons as a competitive factor - arguably the #1 most important metric to address when wanting to disrupt an industry or model.

I go one further. If I do use a piece of code from Stack overflow (usually a workaround for some API pain point or specific technical gimmick), I linked to the answer from a comment. I then built a tool to notify me if that answer gets new comments or new answers are added.

Yup, as a developer, being able to build a UI once and have it work pretty much identically on Linux, Windows, and MacOS is a huge time saver.

But whenever I actually use an electron app; the startup times and half-baked keyboard support (I know this is the dev's fault, not electron's, but it is much more common on electron apps) always remind me that this isn't the best way to make desktop apps.
It's a different token, but I think the only difference is token id and creation time. In all other respects it's identical. It's like having two brand new dollar bills, but they have different serial numbers.
Try to sit in the middle of the carriage. I don't get motion sickness on trains, but I find doing that makes a meaningful difference to how comfortable it is to type on a laptop on a commuter train.
That’s a pretty old sample. The war on drugs was full throttle 30 years ago. Boomers were the millennials and the greatest generation had all the real power. Their straight laced policies were on everything.

These days it’s 50/50 for me. Depending on how conservative the corp culture is. But I work in finance and could literally embezzle their money. I’m actually surprised when i don’t get drug tested.
I'm of the school that people can make mistakes and learn from them. In fact, there's a saying out there that if you're not making mistakes then you're not trying hard enough.

Ironically, Jack created a platform full of people who constantly pull up your mistakes to remind you of them and call you a hypocrite.

I'm also of the school that people can change. I know some say people don't change. Jack stepping away from Twitter is bound to change him because he is a thoughtful and curious person.

He sold his first Tweet as an NFT for millions. Does he regard that as a mistake now? Can he never question NFT's now that he has done so?

One thing he can be sure of: Twitter will never let him forget it.

Apart from what others mentioned, other benefits include significantly reduced resource usage on the client due to only including the CSS and JS necessary to give a good user experience, without needing to configure adblockers etc on every client.

You can also do funky stuff like tunnel different sites through different tunnels and share instances with other people.

Those loans wouldn't really exist because of the free market.

The people who are going to take those loans because they can't get one at 150|100|50|whatever% are going to have a huge challenge, if they are even (blood from a stone) able to.

And while you as the lender may "enforce" repayment with guns and violence, you can only hurt someone so much, and the dead don't repay loans. You can't visit that violence on family and friends, because that is a crime, even if in the most wild west environment you're being allowed to enforce repayment from the lendee with violence. And in the end, while beating the shit out of someone delinquent may be psychologically satisfying to your psycopathic or sadistic ways, you're still out your principal.

The wise lenders will rapidly find the sweet spot between repayment and default.
Sounds like my experience but I was using it at the time to cope with depression and anxiety about graduating from college amid the late 2000's financial crisis and other stresses you deal with as a lonely young adult.

But I also never really stopped smoking and learned to use it to cope with a multitude of things like migraines and sleeplessness.

In the end it often comes down to the person and their reactions to a substance more than the substance itself. I can smoke and melt on the couch or I can smoke and go for a long walk and decompress.
I'm not sure if that's true, if you have to travel for some reason and you take the test and are found to not have covid, you obviously don't have any reason to fake it.

However if you're going to a wedding/see family member/some other trip you value, and you do test positive, you now have quite a good reason to fake it, and if at any point in the past you have a valid test with no QR code on it, could easily modify the date.
What did you switch to?

In my experience, the older PortableApp versions of FreeFileSync continue to work just fine.
The outrage is hypocrisy. Oh, it's fine for all of our consumer goods to be built by de facto slaves, toiling under much worse conditions than these construction workers, because to protest that we would actually have to change our lifestyle, lest we look like abject hypocrites. Just install some more suicide nets at the Apple plant and don't worry about it.
I'm still very interested in the service, though, and I'll probably continue to check in on it.

Drugs significantly alter cognitive processes and perceptions. I know that reads like a duh comment because that's literally why people take them, but it's amazing how frequently drugs users forget that the drugs alter their perceptions of how the drug is impacting their lives.

I've fortunately only had a few of my friends succumb to addictions, but it was surreal to watch them remain convinced that the drugs (including alcohol) were actually helping their performance, relationships, and productivity while everyone around them could clearly see that the opposite was happening.

One of the most striking examples is benzodiazepine abuse. Benzos famously mislead users into a false sense of sobriety even when they may be so inebriated that they struggle to accomplish basic tasks.

Within the tech scene, I've also noticed this with LSD microdosing. The few people I know who (openly) tried it were convinced they were smarter and more productive while microdosing, but it was objectively clear to everyone else that they were thinking more slowly, generally more confused, making more mistakes, and so on. The difference is that the drug convinced them that everything they accomplished was a wonderful achievement that made them happy, which led them to perceptions that they were accomplishing more on those days.

I see similar trends in acquaintances with excessive marijuana habits: A general belief that the drug is helping them do more of the things they want to do, but they're clearly doing very little on the days they smoke. Obvious from the outside, hard to see from the inside when your perceptions are being bent to extremes.

This has basically been my experience with it... the actual act of typing out code goes slower, but my ideas are more fluid and I'm able to "see" the whole picture more clearly. I think the slowness is more to do with having more ideas and noticing more details and possibilities than otherwise, so I have to spend more time sorting through all that.

Used to smoke daily for 20+ years. Nobody should kid themselves that pot makes you "stupid", for lack of a better term.

Also puts me in a really bad mood the next day - short tempered, even aggressive.

On rare occasions it does help with brainstorming, looking at things differently. But mostly it's good for forgetting about your day and just going to bed.
>- The scams are online, so I cannot knock on the scammer's door with an angry mob and ask for our money back.

>- Pseudonymous identities means scammers have strong protections against being sued or prosecuted.

>- Complete lack of trusted third parties means there's no one to appeal to, or to raise alarms in suspicious cases.

I think that all these things are not fundamental aspects of crypto, but rather how the user chooses to use crypto. If I wanted to I could use crypto only for buying eggs from the local market, or paying a plumber to do some work for me, etc. Scams have existed for decades that involve essentially mailing cash to people that fit the criteria you listed - it's not an issue with cash, but an issue with how people are transacting (with remote unidentified people).

>- Digital wallets, as opposed to cash in bank vaults, means that you can lose all your savings in one mistake.

This is no longer strictly true, at least for loss of wallet keys. There are all sorts of solutions out there (Argent, for example) that allow you to have 'fallback' key methods for if your main key is lost. Yes, if you mistakenly send all your money to the wrong address in crypto you lose it, but that was true of cash as well. Once you spend it it's gone.

Ottawa treaty only bans anti-personnel mines, not anti-vehicle or command activated. The US bands persistent anti-personnel mines, but not mines that only last a day or so. This argument gets more convoluted once you read up on it. As I mentioned in spaetzleleeser’s comment below, the US is one of a few countries that has a policy banning persistent anti-vehicle mines (they ban all persistent mines in general), so in some ways is more strict than others.

Exactly this, and nothing more.
I always find it odd to hear comments to the tune of "Well, if it doesn't bring about world peace, why bother?" As if organizations like UNESCO, UNHCR, WHO, etc didn't exist. The UN makes the world a better place, even if it doesn't make it a perfect place.

Its inability to prevent saber-rattling by the permanent Security Council members is unfortunate. But they haven't had direct wars since the UN was founded, and the UN is partly the reason. It's in the votes; it's in the behind-the-scenes talks that keep small crises from turning into world crises.

It's never going to be a world government that can be the sole legitimate user of force. That was never its goal, even if it were feasible (which it isn't). But it's just ignorant to say that it doesn't have more plausible goals at which it has some success.
Exactly. I just don't think its necessary to protect them from themselfs. Vaccine mandate is necessary to protect the healthcare system from collapsing. Otherwise i wouldn't care about those antivaxxers.
