Correct. Ketamine is making strides due to the fact that it is already a legal drug and pharma can charge big bucks for it. It is very helpful in the acute sense, but long-term results are bleak. Psilocbin on the other hand has decades of research behind it showing how well it can be used for therapeutic purposes, but there is no money in it right now. I hate to sound like a tin hat conspiracy theorist - but I guarantee that once a pharmaceutical company can legally sell psilocybin therapy you'll never hear about ketamine again.
I wish comments like yours were what we were discussing. This gets to the heart of the matter:

* It is expensive for credible experts, or anyone, really, to meticulously go through and provide the best information available about a subject.

* It is incredibly cheap, easy and fast to spread outright lies.

This imbalance creates a real problem. Social media has made the problem much worse, because it is so quick and easy to spread lies.

This is a tricky problem and simplistic solutions like "there should be no fact checking and no limits" can lead to grave real world consequences.
Which in turn means it doesn't run on a lot of hardware-- not everything is aarch64.
No, buy everyone in your dept the book in your list that'll impact them the most, and then encourage everyone to read it and discuss how it impacts the business. This seems trite but if done right, it's a very positive impact. Your company culture will dictate whether this is even possible though. If you don't already have great communication and collaboration with your team, then a "book club" might not be a good first step, and your training should be focused on team building instead.
I have no way of knowing for sure, but I was keeping a close eye on how we did in terms of web traffic at the time, especially when Flickr showed up on the scene, deviantART was in it's peak in 2005, we'd just released dAmn and started putting ajax on the website in a serious way, and release prints in 2006, I can't believe in 2007 Flickr was doing more volume than DeviantART, but it could be true, and I don't really have a way to know for sure, so for sure an anecdote. I know Chris the CTO at the time kicks around HN, maybe he'll chime in.

I shouldn't have used never, I don't really know what happened after 2011+, but at least I'd be willing to challenge 2007, but only based on my memory.

Edit: Probably another strike against my claim is they said dedicated photo share sites, and dA was an art community, I still suspect the photo gallery at the time was doing more than flickr combined, also, Flickr had it's fair share of Yiffy and Furries during that period.
The abstract reads more like some emotional comment on social media rather than part of a scientific paper.
That's actually anti-ZT practice, which clearly requires that you put maximum security controls you can to protect every resource. especially do not assume trust based on network location/perimeter, is very first tenet. But yeah, security in many orgs (regardless of the size), is another item to be ticked, and thus a false sense of security prevails until an incident happens.

Eventually, only such orgs will survive and thrive which will be able to defend their resources, in the increasingly hostile online environment with state-backed attackers.

Whether this defense comes from individual organizations or their state, or a combination of both, that's something to be seen in the next 5 to 10 years.

There was a Stanford professor that argued that "We don't have high quality evidence for masks"[0]. Just asking for more studies to be done. Note the emphasis on "high quality". He was cancelled, fired and smeared by the university and the media.

Here are some studies that probably need to be done more carefully because they conclude "Although the difference observed was not statistically significant, the 95% CIs are compatible with a 46% reduction to a 23% increase in infection."[1]. So what's wrong with questioning and asking for more to be done?

flickr has a great API.
I am using the flickr API to manage my photography portfolio website. I can organize everything (uploading, naming, ordering, etc.) using the flickr album tools and then just pull it into my site.
I can't login to Flickr anymore. I tried my Yahoo account (just used for Flickr) but I'm I a loop. Flickr was, perhaps, where it all started with "social photo sharing" and I liked it. Last time I remember, my photos had over 10Million views.

I did do a Takeout but I like to still own my account there.

I used to give out a lot of Pro memberships to people, mostly students and early aspiring photographers, during the early days.
Yahoo, that's what happened. Yahoo and their stupid Yahoo login.
I agree with most of your points. If something as real-life meaningful as the stopping of a predatory crime does not satisfy you as a legitimate usage example against people claiming there is essentially none, I'm at a loss and am unsure of what we're actually discussing.

As you may imagine, it's impossible for me to provide the 1,000 page+ documentation trail of an in-progress federal investigation here in order to refute a comment. I understand that my sincerity may be questioned and there's nothing I can do about that.

Today I learned that Snopes isn't archived by the Wayback Machine. In August of this year Snopes admitted that founder David Mikkelson plagiarized portions of his articles, and as a result are now allowing Wayback Machine to store archives (reversing Mikkelson's policy).
The ruling that you mention was also used to sterilize disabled people. It is funny that you mention Nazi Germany...they did that there too. But, of course, everyone else is just overreacting, the ends justify the means, only people of true vision can break free of the rules that limit others, the ubermensch has appeared, hail.

And yes, there are medical exemptions, there are religious exemptions, there are lots of exemptions because, again, it is fairly obvious that the state forcing people to have medical procedures is not a good idea. Trying to say that you have suffered so much already (please, pathetic) so the vaccine is fine is one of the weakest arguments. That can be used to justify anything if you just tell people how hard your life is. You have no moral compass. Something is a good idea or not.

I remember some colleagues at work labeling me as a blue person a few years ago. I didn't pay much attention to it, as it came from the types of people you'd expect taking this kind of bait.

I think the interesting thing here is how stuff like this spread through society. Or, parts of middle class society that is. We appear to have a large number of HR people, middle management and ambitious LinkedIn men who spend their time with things like this rather than doing actually useful work. Kind of like the class of useless people sent off on that space ship in HGTTG.
Great summary and a wonderful starting point!
I think you should be able to replace the "disown" with "nohup", thus making the startup script POSIX compliant.

A general question would be what version of Emacs you are targeting. As even Debian stable distributes 27.1, you could make use of newer features such as fido-mode (instead of ido and ido-everywhere). Then the package configuration doesn't need the package-initalize either (On that topic adding NonGNU ELPA would also be nice). Also, what it the point of just displaying the current time for two seconds?
For me Doom Emacs was much faster and just seemed to have saner default configurations. The developer is also incredibly responsive and helpful.

I'm coming from Vim, so having evil-mode as a first-class integration is nice too.
The "complaint" is on point. Most of the major US mainstream media outlets are indeed biased in a particular direction. See for yourself: find a list of major news outlets [2] and check their political leanings [3][4]. Fox is mostly an outlier.

You could perhaps argue that they are more "woke" than "progressive".

> It seems unlikely that their new argument about AI-induced mass unemployment will turn out to be the silver bullet they are hoping for.

Disappointed that this is only talking about fear of losing jobs to AI. Nothing to see here, move along.
> If you do have to care, then you no longer "know exactly what you get".

You do know you get exactly what you put in, whether that is é (U+00E9) or é (U+0065 U+0301). When you reference files created by yourself, this is not a problem as realistically speaking, your input method will only have a convenient way of forming one of these, and it will consistently generate the same one every time. When you reference files created by someone else, this may be a problem but no more than e.g. the distinction between file.txt (lowercase L) and fiIe.txt (uppercase i): from the user's perspective, the problem is pretty much avoided by selecting the file using tab completion, TUIs, GUIs, whatever you use.

This was a huge help for me. It's amazing how my attitude to going to a trainer changed when I paid up front. I was actually getting upset one day when I thought I had gotten less than the hour I paid for. With video workouts and monthly gym memberships, I had never thought of ending a workout early as losing value.
They both say the same thing. She laughed at some points during the interview, but not about the outcome of the case.

I am not familiar with the station keeping needed for maintaining an L2 orbit; would it be possible to use an Earth orbiting laser to apply photonic force against JWST's solar shield (turning it into a laser sail) to balance it "falling back" towards Earth without onboard propellant? My understanding is that it has a gravitational weighting towards Earth to prevent slipping away.
> The truth, real truth, is EXTREMELY hard to ascertain

It’s really challenging for me to speak in a way that’s unarguable. For example, instead of saying “COVID is now…”, saying “I read an article that says COVID is now…”.

The first sentence is arguable, the second is unarguable because it’s my personal experience. How often do you read articles or reporting that state unarguable truths?

Even a slight tweak from “COVID cases are spiking…” to “The NY Department of Health released data showing an X% increase in reported COVID cases statewide” makes a lot of difference in how I perceive the potential bias or truthiness of the content I’m reading.
I've been through my fair deal of psychiatrists, and the best tip I can give you: if you're not happy with what your psychiatrist is doing with you, or with what help they are giving you, find another one. Repeat until you find someone who actually can help you improve. It might take many weeks to find someone you finally click with, but once you do, you'll improve a lot quicker than you thought was even possible.
> And how do I send money to pay a bill with pre-existing systems?
>
> Pay a third party like Venmo, Square, etc a fee, or use my banks (also horribly designed and bad UX system) to send the money slower than watching paint dry. I'd rather pay the Bitcoin Miners that fee than a third party or even by bank.

Don't forget giving them cash or a check, or a credit card, as billions of people do every day. Fees are a fair point but that's purely a cost and timeliness question: Bitcoin historically has been slower and more expensive but it certainly could be useful as a competitor to horrible companies like Paypal if it can keep the costs down and transaction times low, not to mention scaling the system by 7+ orders of magnitude.

The catch, of course, is that this is not the path to world domination which features prominently in the sales pitch. That caps the maximum value at the percentage Visa, Paypal, etc. charge and if Bitcoin ever matured into serious competition, the credit card companies have plenty of margin to cut.
The absolute truth in your statement is the threat of getting burned alive. You make the decision to escape based on that absolute truth and then you choose the route based on relative probabilities to survive. But you wouldn't even be trying to escape at all if not for the absolute truth that a fire will kill or severely harm you if you stay.

Mirroring what tasogare said: There are a lot of research professors who will not give you the flexibility of finding the question. They often are paying you to be an RA, and will want you to work on their topics, not yours.

This may vary per discipline. In the circles I was in, this was the norm, though. Some professors were open to you choosing your own topic, but the "contract" was similar: If they are funding your research, then you should work on your own topic "on your own time".
Ramsomware has found a business model greatly thanks to cryptocurrency which has removed a lot of friction in the payment process.

You do not have to leave anymore a paper bag full of cash in the park to get your files unencrypted.

A healthy business model helps to attract talent into the ramsomware business, which improves the time-to-market of exploits.

All this helps to increase the need for security and business continuity investments so for 2022 I anticipate healthy growth of that industry.

IMHO, Bitcoin role is not really a mere store of value with built-in inflation protection. Bitcoin is also an enabler for strong growth in the information security industry.
You are obviously conflating the use of surgical masks in operating rooms that are for stopping droplets with using masks to stop a respiratory airborne virus. How can this possibly be the basis of your argument? It's utter nonsense.
"Unfortunately" because I suspect my supply of the drug will run out before I'd like it to. I don't care about the high, just the therapeutic effects.

Edit: Also, unfortunately, the site has just dictated that I've used up all my comments for a while and need a timeout. Had I been warned that this would happen in advance, I'd have done something to prevent it. Unfortunately, they just stick me with this uninformative error message saying I'm "posting too fast," and disallow me from posting anymore for some period of time I'm also not privy to.
Unfortunately, Taleb being an enormous asshole does not actually negate this paper or any of his other formal arguments.

We're doing Software Engineering, think SAAS, building Customer service tools with technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, NodeJS, Python, React...

O'Reilly looks pretty good! Thanks for the suggestion!
I agree! In fact, they just did it with their 5-day quarantine recommendation. Which is why I think it's important that the facts they use to publicly justify their decision are under constant scrutiny. If they are not, the CDC's credibility disintegrates.

I'm glad we're both on the same page.
This looks good! Thanks

There is no such thing as relative truth.

You mean belief, which causes major problems when conflated with truth.

Belief is useful for planning, but needs a separate static truth to have predictive value.
Yes income is income, regardless of how obtained. This mainly gives Federal prosecutors an additional tool to nail criminals. Even if prosecutors can't meet the legal burden of proof for theft they can still get the thief for tax fraud.
Refuting crypto is an exercise in futility, because there are only two types of people in that space: True believers who act like literal cultists and who are beyond the reach of rational arguments and hustlers who understand that it is nonsense, but will never admit that, because they are just there to make money from the first group.
Obviously you’re not under a moral obligation to make an argument, but what I think the OP means is if you want to actually convince people, and thus actually reduce the usage of cryptocurrency, then this is how you would do it.

I'm glad I had this idea when I was into model railways as a kid

Shorting the rails did spark a bit (cool, obviously) but no muscle clamping or throwing of children!

I didn't learn from it though I guess, many years later I lightly burned a toe touching it to my PC's motherboard.. really weird feeling when your muscle does something faster and more violently than you could ever make it do on purpose! Don't work on a computer on the floor with the case off without footwear! Impressively the computer didn't suffer any ill effect, once I'd got the power back on it booted up fine

I've also given myself a dead arm trying to unscrew a fridge lightbulb.. that someone had already removed allowing my finger to pop in and complete the circuit for a moment. Whoops

Earlier in life (after model railway, before kicking motherboards) I got a school detention for joining (starting?) a wave of kids charging capacitors and throwing them to each other with a "think fast!". All fun and games till someone throws one to the teacher

I have, actually, and it wasn't hard. It did require a out-of-band confirmation which I considered a good thing since I rarely make transactions that large and never in a case which can't wait until the next business day.

That is, of course, the flip side of that convenience: if you ever make a mistake with your Bitcoin wallet, it's gone with no recourse. Good luck!

Outsource it if you can.

Otherwise I keep my brain entertained by multitasking while doing the boring thing : I’ll play a turn based RPG, or have German lessons or a Knuth lecture playing. Or music.

Theres a fine balance between distracting enough to keep your mind stimulated and engaged, and too distracting so you’re getting nothing done, so keep varying the task until you find one that clicks.

Also time your work, for me these boring tasks are better to do slowly in the evening when I’m tired, so it becomes almost a meditative / wind-down work
