I rolled my own emacs config when I started out, for the first 3 years or so. When I saw spacemacs I liked the entire kitchen sink approach, it opened my brain up to a lot of the functionality of emacs/packages that I wasn't touching.

When I saw Doom Emacs though I was kind of skeptical at first (this was about 5 years ago), it seemed to have a lot less batteries included, but I gave it chance anyway, longing after the understanding I got when I wrote my own config. I've been entirely happy daily driving it since. Doom Emacs just seems to have a different philosophy than Spacemacs, it's more like a really well designed configuration framework for emacs on which there are nice layers on top instead of the more monolithic Spacemacs approach. I can easily configure it to my needs, write my own custom modules, and hack on it. It really does a sane job updating and managing the packages, something I would waste too much time on with Spacemacs. So to me is that it seems lower level and better software, yet I still get the preconfigured functionality that allows me to quickly go take an emacs install from zero to hero in a matter of minutes. And did I mention? It's fast.
Considering the comment you are replying to, that amounts to just "shopping" for a psychiatrist that will prescribe you the treatment you want and not the one you need.

I can 100% get behind the idea that you want to find a psychiatrist that understands you or that you "connect" with, but if your gripe with your current one is that he won't prescribe ketamine even though you read online that it might help, I'd say reassess.
Perhaps of interest, I wrote something similar a few years ago for my university in German: https://wwwcip.cs.fau.de/~oj14ozun/src+etc/init.el (here a HTML version https://wwwcip.cs.fau.de/~oj14ozun/src+etc/init.el.html). My intention was to demonstrate different configuration patterns. It even tries to configure Gnus to work OOTB for our university mail accounts. I should probably update it for Emacs 27.1 and change a few things where my tastes have changed.

Be careful: that salt will give you high blood pressure! Or not, depending on which medical "expert" turns out to be correct.
You may be right, but it does play into accepting some of Taleb's arguments when one lacks his intellectual caliber. I certainly feel that "intellectual honesty" plays a little bit into how harmoniously a great thinker "sells" his or her frameworks. This is one reason why I hardly question the good-will behind a reasoning Chomsky or Pinker or Dawkins, or any other great thinker who consistently shows a more reflexive humanity. Tabeb may be a genius, but his a-holeness indeed makes it hard for me to comprehend him better. Admittedly, the same was probably said of Newton and many others :-(
There was an interesting debate on this topic, with one of the speakers being Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN4klUUx8fM

P.S. I find the name of the book 'The Bitcoin Standard' fairly misleading, given that the first 2/3 it is about Gold Standard and barely mentions Bitcoin. I have not found the latter 1/3 of the book interesting to read, so I dropped it there.
Yes, considering how fast they move I’m wondering if it’s closer to self regulated/peer quality control. Some QA/QC can make work come to a screeching halt in biopharma space (makes sense when a “batch” in the cell and gene therapy space is a single person and their wellbeing).

It’s not like regulation and quality have not fallen by the wayside or been too relaxed for other aerospace companies, especially in recent history. Quality should be meaningful and not just a rubber stamp.

It’s a fine line

There are many crypto-enthusiasts for whom no level of rigor will ever satisfy them despite being obsessed with various "whitepapers" which are mostly marketing fluff. They endlessly defer to various whataboutism's until you find out they are taking an inherently political position (usually some sort of neo-libertarian) and hence the "merits" of the proposed currency _really_ only apply to people who are disenfranchised by existing economic systems. Usually, little is said of how to improve existing systems as that challenges the notion that the status quo is so flawed that it needs to be replaced wholesale.

Any idea how to refute crypto to these folks?

I'll miss the good old days where our lab environment was never looked at by security or IT.

I was a firewall admin at a F100 bank and we had some linux servers we used to do automation against our production firewall systems. We did some of the best, most secure work we ever did because we had access to scripting systems and Python. We built a host of auditing, ops, and secure automation and cleanup tools. It took months if not literally a year or more to convince all the right "stakeholders" that we need a prod server for such a purpose. Same reason we used Bottle.py for our web GUI: We didn't have to install it; it ran on system Python install.

I also remember standing up Dokuwiki because our company was two years away from deploying Confluence (puke), and remember setting up Gitlab in a lab environment two years before we got Gitlab, because we only had... some IBM version control, all the tooling and regs around it were built around enterprise product development, not backend.

In other words, shadow IT led us to be a more secure organization. It seems IT in the 2020s is getting a clue when it comes to deployment, and now that they have automated everything from deploy to scan, it isn't such a huge ask to get a linux server with which to program. Maybe shadow IT won't be needed anymore.

Then again, perfect enforcement of laws is a dangerous thing in society. Maybe too in cyber?

Though with `use-package`, it has become incredibly easy to make even complex setups self-booting (assuming you have an internet connection available anyway). It adds all of 5 lines (or 8 if you need melpa) which is rather incredible for the value it provides.

There are co-workers that everyone (including the person themself) know are better or worse than others on the team. The sticky points arise when two people who view reasonably themselves as peers get ranked differently during performance reviews. Then it's right back to arbitrary and (possibly) unjust decisions by the boss.

Perhaps the more productive worker is more productive because their work is not high-visibility. Maybe it's the arbitrary luck of having been assigned a more successful project.

One of the side effects of Taleb being a truly independent thinker is that pretty much everyone will find they agree with some of his takes and violently disagree with others.
The problems with Facebook can't be solved by censorship, either of Facebook users or of Facebook itself.

To be blunt, your comment is presumptive, confrontational, and unpleasant for no reason. My point of view on this is obviously more nuanced than your lazy straw-man.

In fact, I address this whole set of issues very explicitly in a sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29726829

> to protect corporate rights and personhood

In the comment I posted, had you bothered to read the whole thread instead of jumping down my throat, I say:

>> Should a company the size of Facebook get Section 230 protection? Probably not. Should government officials be allowed to use social media sites for official business? I don't think so. Should campaign finance laws be strengthened and ad spends on social media sites subject to much more sunshine? Sure. And should meta be broken up? Yeah.

>> I'm not here to defend Facebook, and I think the interventions I would propose to deal with the Facebook Problem are probably far more damaging to Facebook the company than "no more moderation".

Far from advocating protecting corporate rights, I'm arguing for the dissolution of legal protections which are much more valuable to Facebook than its free speech protections.

Moving on to the rest of your comment, you say:

> this is the same argument as "Telling a shop owner which $PROTECTED_CLASS they must serve is restricting freedom of association

Yawn. Who cares? This is not an instructive or insightful comment. It's a meme that has been repeated on every thread on this topic for close to a decade at this point. It doesn't really tell us anything about the nature of the problem.

There are many ways to check corporate power. Compelling or restricting speech is not the right tool in the case of Facebook. Censoring Facebook as an intervention is too weak, too susceptible to abuse, and doesn't address the underlying problem.

Go look at actual attempts to implement something like what you suggest. E.g., Hawley's legislation which would allow Facebook moderation powers (which is, frankly, necessary for any community with higher utility than 4chan). But which would also have a panel of political appointees decide, based on Facebook's moderation behavior, whether it should keep Section 230. Surely you see how that is ripe for abuse, right?

Again. The problems with Facebook can't be solved by censorship, either of Facebook users or of Facebook itself. That is not a defense of Facebook. Quite the opposite.

Speaking of irony... I'm literally the only person in this thread advocating for a solution to the Facebook problem that doesn't involve censoring someone/something.
This paper has been out for quite a while now. The argument that any digital assets whose value can drop to zero at any point in the future has a current value of zero is flawed. People can maintain the ledger even when they are losing money doing so (which is little in the case of bitcoin because running a ledger is quite cheap). So even at a price of zero there would be people running nodes. The more pertinent question would be: What is the probability that at any point in the future nobody will run a node? I'd argue that probability is pretty low, therefore there will always be some value > 0 for the asset.

In the real world work is not immediately abandoned when the payoff is temporarily negative. If for example a company misses a payment workers usually continue working for it. They know that if they stopped right away then bankruptcy of the company would be a near certainty, so continuing despite the missed payment makes sense.
even better than psilocybin for me has been MDMA - there was a study recently about how it can help with social anxiety in autistic people. It's also helped me a lot in dealing with trauma, opening up to people and deepening my existing friendships and relationships.
After a quick search it seems like the idea of 'matching types' was removed from the most popular MBTI testing site (I swear it used to say in the romantic relationships section), and different sources seem to have different opinions on which types match.

My own experience is that there is definitely some value to the idea, so my question to you is, is it a legit part of the MBTI 'theory', and is there a canonical listing of compatible types? Browsing random blogs/reddit sets my pseudoscience sensors off.

From what I have read so far the studies on clinical ketamine usage have focused on its (seemingly miraculous) properties as a short term antidepressant.

Long term ketamine usage is not so well studied. Recreationally, using much larger doses, some people have issues with UTIs, bladder/kidney failure and addiction.

> which is something we know is highly effective (purely from a physics point of view)

This in itself is a tricky claim to make with confidence. I agree we know certain types of masks (N95) are highly effective at preventing spread of airborne illness if worn properly.

But... in the context of the article you referenced, are you prepared to defend the claim that cloth masks which haven't been washed for months and are frequently touched, adjusted, and worn incorrectly by kids and teens are "highly effective at preventing spread of airborne illness"?
Well you describe them as "crypto enthusiasts" so maybe the part of the crypto community you are interacting with is self-selecting?

I'd be fine with him being an asshole if the quality of his thought were higher. His perspectives are rarely original and often poorly explained, especially if the topic is technical. Unfortunately people get the impression that he's some kind of genius because he's an intellectual celebrity who's bad at explaining his technical ideas (so they must be super deep).

He's at his best with "black swan" and "skin in the game" type stuff - aphoristic, lyrical, qualitative philosophical musing that evokes the best of traditional schools of thought.
I guess I'm not really "in that space" even though I work with various companies who call their projects "cryptocurrencies", as I'm neither of those two groups.

Maybe there is a third group: Believes that are some uses with cryptocurrencies, but most of the space is over-hyped, but that doesn't mean everything is vaporware, and someone who doesn't care about the money earned by working in it but rather that it replaces money as we know it today.

Just want to mention that I appreciate that quite a few folks here commented about gifting to others instead of just yourself.
Especially as an engineering manager, I think your team would appreciate you sharing your 'gift' and you could learn a lot from their own learnings; rather than rush spending your budget yourself on something you won't end up using.
> a bit of my late adolescence consuming

I liken doing psychedelics in late adolescence to reading philosophy in late adolescence. Unfortunately late adolescence is the period where the majority of both psychedelic and philosophical experimentation happen, when both of these are much more useful after gaining some life experience.

If you haven't even spent time working on or struggling with your own depression and isolation, and are in fact still quite tangled up in the formation of these issues, psychedelics don't have much to offer you other than "fun". Likewise reading Nietzsche as an adolescent, you miss many of the subtleties that make his work truly revolutionary, for example misreading "god is dead" a proclamation of some sort of victory against religion, when Nietzsche is much more concerned about our loss of meaning. You can't really get at what Nietzsche is worried about until you've had your own, serious struggle with meaning as you get older and the reality of death hits you much harder than any adolescent can imagine.

As an adolescence you're still rapidly formulating your world view, there's not a whole lot to shake up that isn't all ready rapidly changing. An adolescent will learn far more by interacting closely with a group of people they normally wouldn't, or wandering around parts of a city they normally never go to, than doing any psychedelics. It's not to say they shouldn't experiment with psychedelics and read lots of philosophy, but these won't be really impactful until later.

I highly recommend everyone in their thirties and later revisit both psychedelics and philosophy. There's a lot more there than when you where younger.

Those assumptions are technically not even in scope of our “hard science”, but if one of those assumptions got “proven true” through whatever means (possible oxymoron) it would have major implications as much of pre-existing hard science would suddenly become either markedly less or markedly more consequential and/or new fields may be created.

Those assumptions describe fundamental traits of a system which humans are ill-equipped to live not having a model of; some (many?) people believe advances in science support one of them (e.g., material monism).
Damn Straight. It amazes me how little interviewers seem to care about how_much_code_you_have_delivered... honestly, what else is there?
Ketamine is really interesting drug but let's be honest, the reason you're depressed is probably not because you haven't done enough ketamine. Yes it's fun to do drugs... Going to Six Flags with good friends would also probably make you less depressed for a couple of weeks. Why are we excited that now there's a way for rich people to do a fun drug in the most boring context possible? This feels like part 2 of microdosing LSD or psilocybin at your boring office job.

Is ketamine going to make it less depressing that you work in ad-tech? Why not also microdose magic mushrooms as you work in ad-tech? Why not buy from your local farmer's market as you work in ad-tech? Why not volunteer for a local organization in your free time while you work in ad-tech? The problem is that you work in ad-tech. No amount of microdosing or macrodosing LSD or mushrooms or ketamine is going to change the fact that you probably have no social skills and your life work in ad-tech is meaningless, and having slightly more money than the average prole and being able to afford drugs they can't isn't going to make you happy.
The fact that I think that all cryptocurrencies are worthless in their current form does not mean that I need to convince people at large of this. (I may want to convince my friends, but my friends are generally already convinced.)

The religious argument (I must convert everyone!) resonates most strongly with current true believers. It is the same projection that many Prosperity Gospel Christians feel about atheists wanting to convert them.

I convinced an employer that I needed to buy weights for a home gym, to help reverse the effects of sitting at a chair all day. Technically speaking a kind of career-related training. I no longer work there, but I still use the weights all the time. I can recommend kettlebells.
See, that's believable. I came close to that as a kid by discharging the capacitors in an old-school shoe-mount camera flash. But you don't fly back from 120VAC or even 220VAC socket. My first time as a child was accidentally electrocuting myself trying to replace the flood light on the porch and it either had an obscenely oversized bulb-screw or I was trying to remove a broken bulb screw from the socket (details are hazy). I just felt my heart suddenly racing and my body throbbing/pulsing until I managed to yank my hands away.
Why Web3?
> Not sure why this is getting downvoted

I'm not entirely sure either (and I didn't, for the record) but I could imagine why people would. Grouping a huge industry into just two groups generally is seen as over-simplification, and I would agree with that. There are clearly people working in the space that don't fit in in either groups.
> Nobody did this.

I am stating my belief that the article headline did exactly that:

"The Study That Convinced the CDC To Support Mask Mandates in Schools Is Junk Science."

That reads to me as click bait, which gives the impression, "Mask Mandates in Schools Is Junk Science."

I can state that because the headline has the phrase, "Mask Mandates in Schools Is Junk Science" at the end of it, and people are lazy readers.

I'm also stating my belief that the author has NO WAY of knowing how many studies the CDC used to convince them to support Mask Mandates in Schools, so it's wildly inappropriate for the author to use the word "THE." They should have instead said "A."
