Keep in mind that “harm reduction” material shouldn’t be interpreted as a guide to avoiding all potential negative consequences.

When it comes to psychedelics, the pendulum of popular opinion has swung from an extreme of “extremely bad for you” to “actually good for you” but neither extreme is good, IMO.

It’s worth reading some of the material about how psychedelic users are weirdly prone to picking up strange beliefs. Not everyone of course, but even a large number of psychedelic researchers who were supposedly doing it the “right way” were still walking away with bizarre and irrational beliefs: https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/04/28/why-were-early-psyched...

These belief-shifting outcomes aren’t mentioned in harm reduction guides. In many cases, they’re actually celebrated by users with an implicit assumption that all belief changes from psychedelics must be inherently good. I think it’s important to understand that thoughts and feelings imparted by psychedelics aren’t real and may likely be entirely meaningless.

It’s also important to know that the thoughts and feelings and experiences induced by psychedelics aren’t necessarily entirely positive. The negative anecdotes tend to get lost among the hyperbole about psychedelics producing magical experiences, but it’s not hard to find stories about difficult trips or trips that induced long-lasting negative mental states on Internet forums. They tend to be downvote, ignored, or explained away by blaming the victim for doing it wrong. However, it is a very real and not uncommon possibility, which is why harm reduction guides emphasize the need for sitters to monitor the user and why every psychedelic research study had included 10X as much therapy sessions as psychedelic sessions.
That can get you into seriously hot water, I would suggest you stop doing that until you've had some interaction with an IP lawyer.
It's nice enough but the Tainan TSMC site (Tainan Science Park) is pretty far from Tainan itself. Not as convenient as Hsinchu IMO. But that's were the latest nodes are.
Quite the opposite - in the west you won’t realistically get really rich unless your family is already rich (see Musk). In communist countries you can just become a party member and then go up the ladder; see most polish leaders from those times.
Ok, but this is still illegal, right?
>>Do you give them ideas, pretend to give them the means, and encourage (or even nag/pressure) them? I mean, we do, but is that a good thing?

All of that should be considered entrapment, and law enforcement should not be doing it

for FBI, and other law enforcement I have a pretty simple standard, that many people do not agree with. law enforcement should not be allowed to break the law to enforce the law. We however allow them to do so all time.

In relation to this story, it is simple. If you just put up a site like this, people then contact you, and as law enforcement you setup a meeting let them incriminate themselves no problems, you did not break the law, it was unsolicited by you, etc.

Flip this though and say you embed an agent at a support group of some kind, this agent then prompts a person with "I know someone that could take care of that for you" after establishing a relationship with the person, then over the course of months they entice the person into committing a crime. That is where the line is cross IMO. That is where law enforcement is today
Not true,

is not copyrightable.
The government has the power to imprison people and can even give themselves the right to put people to death, regardless of the legality of the death penalty in any particular jurisdiction. So yes, I want them held to much higher and stricter standards than the folks at Dunkin' Donuts trying to find a better way to get me to buy coffee from them.
Which is fine, and surely an honest mistake. Automation is great, but the way I see it is, how many other projects have been forked and automatically re-licensed, and then profited from without proper attribution? An accident still needs to be flagged, and still needs to be corrected. They also need to be learned from and avoided in the future.
How often did the bot make the same mistake? In how many of those cases does Microsoft now assume they have copyright and make their army of lawyers enforce it? Are you willing to go up against Microsoft in a court, rolling the dice?
This whole "people on the internet aren't real people" thing is SO 20th century.
This sorta jives with my observations, but from my experience it seems like its the general population journalists that mess things up. There's such little understanding of these complex topics and then journalists try to cram as much info into a small place and pick the things that sound most important to them. Detail gets lost and importance of some aspects overblown. This happens through multiple stages as in a game of telephone from original research all the way to average people reading or watching the news
You need to go revert all of those commits ASAP.

EDIT: also if there are any forks of your project, you should ask people who forked it to restore the original copyright notice as well. If the original copyright holder sees your name instead of theirs, they'll know who to sue.
I think visiting and seeing the country for yourself is a good idea. I have a lot of experience with the country (lived there, keep in contact with many friends from there, consume a lot of TV and podcasts from there), and the picture of it usually painted by Hacker News comments is completely different from what I've experienced. I usually avoid the topic here, though, because heterodox opinions often are met with hostility or accusations of being propaganda.

In general, when it comes to other countries, I think visiting them when possible and talking with the people there when you can is often eye-opening and can reveal personal biases you didn't realize you had. To give another example, speaking with people from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc made me realize that many of the assumptions I had (adopted from the traditional "common sense" American narrative) were overly simplistic or just plain wrong.
> it almost certainly some kind of scam

They tried to privately place $10mm in November [1], though that was terminated a week later [2]. They announced a new auditor a few days later [3][4] who doesn’t appear to have been auditing any U.S. public companies prior to this July [5].

They’re also selling $20mm of shares as of September [6] via an Atlanta-based broker-dealer who appears to do these for Chinese penny stocks for 7 to 8% fees [7]. (Searching the firm on LinkedIn brings up D.C.-based general counsel [8], a guy in Miami Beach and a dude in Ghana.) All this suggests a pump and dump with possible laundering connections.

Just to be clear - it's akin to asking "How can you live in California with all the earthquakes? Aren't you afraid of California slipping into the Pacific?"

Seriously. The martial harangues and belligerence form China has been going on since the 1950s. It's like the rain.
That just meant Microsoft have done many more of this? Wouldn't it make it worse?

Intentional, manual or not, projects are now attributed to Microsoft when they should not.
It's the same in China for most hotels that know what they're doing. " In every other country you show them your passport, you write your signature and you pay a deposit - done.".

If you go off the beaten path or less than 4 stars hotels, then that.

And not unique just in China, Japan will do it too with some places - granted mostly it's love hotels which is ironic cause they're not supposed to know whose checking in, no passport is required, but many a foreigner can't read Kanji or talk.
>Well, LastPass is zero-knowledge

How about 1Password?
But this list stand as a terrific portfolio tho.

Original post reads as you have grudge because they were lazy.

Sorry to say but this explanation got me thinking.

Maybe those people actually had real insight that these ventures were not good investments. So I would not be so demeaning because they stopped being interested when it turned out there is a lot of work to be done and a lot of money to be spent. That it was good business idea for you - as you mention your time seemed to be worth less - it was not a good idea for them.

From reading both comments it seemed that you could benefit greatly from those deals and for them putting focus/money elsewhere was more beneficial.

As you wrote that comment and seem to have grudge against them, they took easy way out by not confronting you directly on that.

I still might be wrong but maybe they were gracious enough to leave you alone and not shatter your dreams.

I have seen in developed countries if you are sales person with a shiny car like BMW they will not deal with you and better strategy is to get high end VW to have nice stuff inside but from outside to seem like a decent person not a flashy sales scammer.
Problem is in a world of moderation actions being taken by bots and not humans often the only way to get a human to review its decision is to raise awareness on social media like HN.

How often have we seen closed accounts getting resolved after complaining about it on HN/Twitter/Etc.

I’m not saying tha to how it should be, just what it’s become.
I assume ‘empathize’ is meant there?
Not all financial contributions are shown there. There's a Patreon and also private contributions that exceed the Open Collective tiers, they appear in the Premier section on the OBS homepage.
Jr at 300k? Someone's lying to yah. Maybe total comp including RSU and 401k matching and you based in HCOL like San Fran.
The real q should be what is not banned …
How about stop blaming the bots and take responsibility? The bots have none, the humans behind the bots have full responsibility.
Maybe read the license before agreeing to its terms.
Since they also removed a full stop at the end...

What is the point of using all caps? For me it makes legal texts like these really annoying to read. I'm not a native English speaker, is that really correct English writing? Aren't there clear rules when to use capitalization? Like, at the beginning of sentences. Feels like they are abusing the language.

Can they just lower case the paragraphs, to make things more convenient to read? Or does that change the legal meaning? For me it would feel like they would stop screaming :-)
Someone has pushed a button and it's run the equivalent of cookiecutter on the repo.

Original author could send a DMCA, or they could simply enjoy Christmas and assume a ticket will undo this sometime in January.
> In every other country you show them your passport, you write your signature and you pay a deposit - done.

There are nearly 200 countries on this planet, in that context your claim sounds more like quite the generalization, on your part, rather than an actual fact.

edit; Wow, never would have thought that stating a simple fact could be controversial on HN.

What is going on in these comments? People acting like everybody is American/Canadian, and as if the whole world is all the same, but only China is some weird outlier, smh
Yeah, basically my entire career path and aspirations for quantum computing / computational physics would be dead.

I could pivot towards theoretical physics but not using a computer would be incredibly difficult, though who knows, maybe it'd be a super power.

But realistically, I'd paint, it'd build contraptions, I'd garden, I'd play guitar and write songs (though never recording again would be painful, recording and layering has become the most important part of my workflow, it literally is the process), oh! I'd READ! im always sitting around thinking I have no time to read. I'd have a lot of time if I gave up computers/ the phone.
I really missed a boat on torrent, too young :p

Autism is still wildly misunderstood. It’s a big label on a very very big bag of diverse symptoms.

I don’t know how any reasonable scientist could gatekeep something so amorphous and loosely defined.

You can take a child to 4 different doctors and they will all diagnose “autism” differently.

It stands to reason no one knows the truth. We are all just making this up as we go along.
I lived in Taiwan for a few years. My company was bought by a Taiwanese company so I was still going there regularly until COVID.

Of all the overseas places I'd be willing to relocate to, Taiwan is near the top of the list. I'd prefer Taipei over Tainan but the two are less than 2 hours apart by HSR.

If you want job security in the USA, the TSMC plant is going to be better than MOST well-known brand named companies in the USA. I'd trust TSMC over Dell or HP for job security, for instance.
Seems like smart design, though two stairwells still seems useful too? But if the strategy is huddle in place and smoke-sealed doors, maybe not.

But I have A question from your PoV as a resident if London w/ more "on the ground knowledge" outside of normal media reports: What happened with Grenfell tower to go so wrong?
This should be on the front page, not the other one.
Same here but it's a 5 year relationship. Similar feelings... With a persistent, almost frustrating sense of hope for the future that seems more deeply rooted inside of me than any actual plan to build from zero again.

You're not alone in that experience. Which isn't information that has helped me at all. Except that I at least believe that others have been here and scrambled blindly and made it somehow too, so why not us?
Ask HN: How could browsers be made better?
Congratulations to STSI and all the dedicated men and women who've worked so hard and long to make this happen! Through all the setbacks and difficulties, they've overcome them all. Now, let's get some great science!
Curious to know how revenue comes in torrent? ads?
I think you have already answered in this subthread:

Excellent summary of the year 2021
Well I am never convinced by an argument of "well others do it", that is never a valid justification IMO. The US has always done things different than the EU, and IMO that is a good thing.

As to fire, that is but one of many other safety concerns, I personally will never live in a place that only has 1 escape vector, even if fire concerns were mitigated
Bots don't steal licenses; people who program bots steal licenses.

It's the latter action that's being addressed here.
I think it’s down to around 50%, according to the latest surveys.
That's not an ad hominem. Calling someone an idiot because of what they say and do is not an ad hominem, it's literally the only reason to call someone an idiot. Calling what somebody said wrong because they are an idiot is an ad hominem.
Did I ever say you shouldn't contribute to open source?
Nobody should feel alone at Christmas. If anyone needs someone to talk to, about anything at all, feel free to contact me. Details in my profile.
I am not exactly sure if parent's code execute the way you think it does. path is provided as an argument to mkdir -p, even if you set path to be a string with 20 arguments copied from your shell, it'll get passed as one.

I assume you meant something like subprocess.run(['mkdir', '-p', '--', *path.split()]), which in that case using shlex.split will fix your problems with quoted strings.
Awesome fund.
Sad that it is limited to German residents and not to all Europeans!
It's objectively worse than a switch or a remote control. Home automation is only nice when it is passive. The moment you need to interact with it, it stops being automation and becomes multiple layers of abstraction to deal with to do an otherwise simple task.

I have several blind friends, they use voice assistants, but don't particularly like them. In all honesty, a lot of voice-based stuff isn't that advanced versus what were using 15-20 years ago with Wildfire. For productivity for disabled users, they're quite mediocre in many ways. Not saying they're terrible, but I am saying there's a very long road ahead, and being a minority means it is low priority and low understanding for most corps. Their focus is on gimmicks over substance.
My thoughts are with you and everyone else.
I love you all.
The H in hackernews can sometimes also mean, Human , Human News.
I suspect that autism is a special shape of attention (and by attention I mean what you direct when you pay attention, that which gets jerked around when you are distracted and what you concentrate when you concentrate).

Call it "habitually concentrated".

We study that kind of stuff in the meditation scene.
Mid-life here - I can appreciate you're probably feeling frustrated and a bit lost. I think this is normal at times, especially early on in our careers.

Working in tech / IT can be grueling, particularly entry-level roles. Operations is often 24x7. People only call when they have problems. Incidents are rarely convenient. The work can be repetitive. It's a good job, but a bit like being a plumber, and you have to accept a certain amount of that.

You list a lot of different domains; specializing in an area will help you get past the entry-level physical work. Pay attention to the subjects that don't burn you out. Is there one specific type of "IT work" you really enjoy?

If so, focus there. Figure out the certifications which matter in that space (e.g. the CCNA/CCNP/CCIE track in networking) and pursue them.

I went to college for one thing (bioinformatics), burned out, took a year to recover and pivoted into network engineering, which ended up being a great decision that ultimately led me to a FAANG. Don't lose hope.

Long-term, I also suggest some inner work on your burnout, ideally with a therapist or other professional. Burnout rarely happens only once, and often it has more to do with our mindset and worldview than it does with the specific work. Took me a very long time (and some months with a great therapist) to recognize that about myself.

Be well!
On the contrary. I am very much in favor of people that put in the effort to support the organization around open source.

But it should be done by persons that also have insight in the technical work. Otherwise problems of judgment cannot be avoided.

That’s the same in every profession by the way. You want to be head of the carpenters guild? Work as a carpenter for some time.
Even if it is just carpentry as a hobby. You don’t like it as a hobby? Well, that says a lot already.

There is ample organization and leadership skill among the geeks. Look at the site you are on and its background. Many millionaire geeks...
That's fucking terrifying.
Someone wearing red is absolutely "a little" on the rainbow spectrum compared to wearing brown, white, silver, or black...
Eh, considering Microsoft made similar "harmless" mistakes in the past, I don't give them "harmless mistake" credits.

Software-defined radios - you can do absolutely insane things with these. Listen to multiple radio stations as once, listen to ham radio, capture live images of the earth from geostationary satellites, watch live airplane traffic, listen to maritime radio, ...try to listen to signals using the moon as a reflector.., detect GPS jammers..., sync 5 of them to the same clock source and use them as a passive radar array to track objects' movements through walls..... use them for backyard radio astronomy to detect the ion trails due to the hydrogen emission line of blazing meteorites.... this shit is cheap too the most common basic model is like only 20 bucks.

Even though this posts thesis is “trade offs”, it doesn’t really talk about any technical advantages that the Python’s AD ecosystem (Tensorflow, PyTorch, JAX) has over Julia’s (Zygote.jl, Diffractor.jl).

Tracking my distraction was a big gamechanger for me. On my desk there is a little block with lines marking everytime i got distracted. After a while all those marks annoyed me very much because for every hour of task there were 20 or so lignes. Its visualizing my inatentiony. After a while it was like a game and those ligns negative points…. Now i have only 5 lignes per hour or so.

What's obvious for us who have been oppressed by the empire, for those who live there it might be impossible to see. They're the ones under propaganda 24/7, after all. Occam's razor works really well for many users of this site, but as soon as the subject is a rival superpower, everything is thrown out the window and it's the usual McCarthyism.
It's interesting to consider how an 'asteroid mining' company could be profitable without ever building a rocket: Suppose SpaceX announced they had (a) identified an asteroid with high percentage of gold; and (b) bought a large amount of gold put options with 10-year expiry. If SpaceX could convince the market that it had the technical capability of mining the asteroid, the price of gold would plummet and SpaceX would make a tidy profit. It would also cancel the mining operation because the low price of gold had made the operation uneconomical.

You would probably know if they were rotten—smell and/or looks would be really off. As for whether they're dry, they're dry enough if they break apart easily—they should crack, not bend.

There's also no such thing as a minimum dose. People have found benefits with very small amounts (1/20g) if you're just curious—it literally cannot hurt.
> It's about reading instructions all the way through if you're going to follow them.

Sometimes understanding the entire process is important. When this is important, it behooves the designer of the form to draw attention to the fact, to make it easy to do the right thing, and hard to do the wrong thing.

This, however, is the precise opposite of what the Following Instructions Quiz genre seeks to accomplish.

It would be one thing if teachers consistently used it to apologize for the inane bureaucracy that students will experience later in life. Perhaps this is a lesson students need -- but it's seldom so affirming; the message, rather, is that interacting with this quiz in a natural way is a flaw, you are flawed for doing so, and you would be better if you were a paperwork robot. Conform. Obey. Follow instructions.

Many schools systems have this as an explicit goal, and others do it somewhat implicitly. Songs like We don't need no education didn't spring up out of nowhere.
Even assuming you map a river catchment completely, how is the source defined anyway? Furthest water drop from the sea (as measured along the river)? Except in odd cases where that's an underground resurgence, it's going to be pretty unspectacular, so what's the attraction?

Mapping the watershed on the other hand, that's a nice thing to know.
