> A stranded ICE vehicle will exhaust its gas tank in 8 hours, max. You can turn it on an off to stretch it out but I wonder if you'll just burn more gas that way.

Idling consumes little gas compared with actually moving the vehicle:
https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/fact-861-february-23-20...

A 4.2L engine burns 0.39gal/hr under no-load conditions according to the study there for a large sedan. Let's assume that the load of putting the blower and heater on equate to even 1 gal/hr (an absurdly high value, the rule of thumb I can find quoted in a few places tends to be add 10-20% depending on interior size and conditions outside).
Let's also assume a fuel tank size on the lower end (~15gal) for this sedan.

This means in the absolute worst case conditions (you're blasting maximum heat the entire time) around 15 hours of operation for a full tank, 7.5 if you had half a tank.

Comparatively, the Tesla, depending on Model, could use as much as 4.8kWh[0][1] under similar worst-case conditions. Modern versions of Tesla and other electrics have or are moving to heat pump heaters, which is encouraging as it will likely be better generally (though this comes with the caveat that they don't work as well in lower temperatures and I believe are supplemented by coil heaters under those conditions).

At any rate, the worst-case electric scenario gives a full-charge length of 18.75 (90kWh useable out of a 95kWh pack in the largest long-range models) or 9.38 at half. Note, this is giving the Tesla an enormous advantage here as I'm going with the largest battery pack possible. With the long range pack available in the Model 3 those numbers drop to basically the same as the smaller-tanked gasoline sedans.

If you have better sources for those numbers on the Tesla idling with the heaters on, these were all I could find quickly.

Why Your Side Project Never Became a Product
Probably not, but I assume a recreational dose is greater than a therapeutic another friend took the same amount and he was perfectly fine, but my friend became really paranoid (government hiding people to torture, signals sent through TV, people trying to kill him). he was a heavy cannabis and alcohol user in high school which could have been a sign of self-medication, but that was the first time he really had a negative experience.

At the time, we thought he was schizophrenic, but he got a bipolar diagnoses later from doctors.

It's been a struggle with sobriety and mental health for over a decade. Mushroom didn't cause it, but it was definitely a notable moment in his life
Sure, it's going to take a while the first time, because your gradle cache hasn't be populated yet. You should find subsequent builds to be much, much faster. If not, something is wrong with your setup.

Startup time? I personally don't care about startup time for a long-running server process; at least not if we're just talking a few seconds. The JVM is better at optimizing long-running processes than things that are starting and stopping frequently (although to be fair, JVM cold startup time has improved dramatically in later JVM releases).

Anyway... if you'd rather write Go, then write Go. Presumably nobody has a gun to your head making you work with Spring / Java. shrug
>That said it's almost impossible to abuse mushrooms

nonsense

>there just isn't a desire to redo them often and it doesn't work well anyway.

please don't talk about your anecdotes as if they were facts. go to any psytrance festival in europe and marvel at people tripping for a week straight

>I've never heard of someone being addicted to psilocybin.

and I've met bucket loads of people "addicted" to living in the unreality of psychedelics. I guess that's not being "addicted to psilocybin" but if the end result is eating mushrooms x times per week then the effect is the same
Height isn't a good example, because improved nutrition does lead to increased height in populations:

My question with any blockchain application is always what does it solve that a centralized trusted database doesn't solve faster and with less waste? You can implement social recovery in a centralized database with less waste.
> That was one of the key reasons that the IBM PC succeeded: it was easy to clone. Without that it's likely it would have been just another interesting footnote in history. But because IBM didn't take the time to do everything custom and locked in others were able to enter the market and make things happen.

I’m reasonable sure IBM PCs were totally custom and locked down, and they got reverse engineered enabling “IBM Compatible” clones to spring up.
Agreed. This comes down to lack of power to push a system onto it's potential users, mozilla didn't have a userbase large enough nor could incentivize 3rd parties to force onto their users. You could argue if the ux was good it would have just succeeded, but I think that's bs. Funds are the number one predictor of success of anything.

My worry with the blockchain is that now it has VCs that are going to pump so much funds in it to keep it spinning and force everybody to use it because you need that service, and now (in the future) it's only provided through the blockchain (because the alternative off-chain company cannot raise funds so it doesn't exist, it fails, or it's a worse experience).
This realization hit me after spending a few weeks in Italy seeing the remains of the Roman Empire. I had a building sense that they were awfully close to the industrial revolution, that there was no particular reason it couldn’t have happened thousands of years ago in the face of a highly organized, long lived, innovative empire with enormous resources. I think it’s an accident of history that it happened in England instead.
I don't think it is taking it too far honestly. Even if it can be a bit jarring to see it written out like that. Part of trying food from other cultures/countries/families is getting to see how their history is reflected in the food they prepare. I read cookbooks to get a feel for a place, even if I don't plan to cook everything in the book. Or more correctly couldn't.

For example I enjoy pad Thai, but I didn't know it was created by the Thai government in the 1930s until I saw a small comment and did some reading.
https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/04/no...

Or the history of Lebanese immigration into Mexico that led to Al Pastor.
https://theeyehuatulco.com/2020/07/29/al-pastor-and-the-leba...
In my experience, ratings are an inaccurate measurement. If you want to learn how to cook Pad Thai, are your going to trust the 5-star recipe with 30 responses, or the 3.9-star recipe with 3,100 responses??

An active comment section tends to be a step above reviews, because at least you can see if other people find the recipe too spicy, or boring, or an exciting base for other ingredients. And no, 2 comments that say "I loved this recipe!" and "Thanks!" isn't sufficient. This is usually how you can tell a recipe on an aggregate of authors like FoodNetwork, AllRecipes, or NYTimes is legit.

In my opinion, one step above an active comments section is following individual recipe writers that you jive with. An individual writer will usually have a measurement of success that you can agree with (health-conscious, budget-friendly, unique flavors, wide appeal), so you can understand their motivation better. Also, they have some credibility on the line. When you find writers that you agree with, you may even find their "filler" text to have some substance (another reason a "poseur" would feel obliged to include vapid copy before their recipe).
It seems like there is some new undetected "lead in the pipes" thing going on these days where everyone is going crazy. Sociopathy is running amok. Our institutions used to be able to control these people. We need new ways of identifying bad actors and marking them to the rest of society. Maybe with Elizabeth Holmes getting found guilty the trend can start reversing. Hey you know what? Maybe we could create a trust-less distributed database to keep track of conmen, like a Equifax for bad actors on the blockchain ;).
It obviously needs more formal research, but anecdotal reports of tryptamine-based psychedelics indicate strong potential for stress management and/or general mental health recovery.

However you turn it around, you are the Universe experiencing itself subjectively. That's easy to understand without any drugs.

Having felt that during your trip might have led you to the wrong conclusion that your social life will somehow magically be improved by this knowledge alone.
It could be, but not without a lot of good old work and effort.
Even after all of that, there's no guarantee that you'll get what you want and won't get what you don't want.

A lot of people waste their lives with or without the drugs, so maybe it wasn't just this substance that led to those setbacks.
Somebody is going to name their software product "Jerrycan" in 2022.
Anecdotally, I spent ~10 years as a daily pot smoker. I then moved to another country where it's illegal, so I stopped cold turkey in one day. I didn't experience any physical side effects or cravings. YMMV, but at least for me, it was a psychological condition. Once I told myself that I wanted to live in a place where it was illegal, and I wasn't willing to break the law of my new country of residence, that was it.
Before COVID, BART in the Bay Area was completely full during peak hours. You had to wait for multiple trains to finally pack into the car. That, or take the train the opposite direction for a few stops from downtown and then get back on in the other direction. They are starting to remove more and more seats to pack in more people, but eventually if use keeps increasing you will have to build a new subway and who knows how much that will cost or how long it will take. It is probably not really possible right now. See the failure of California's bullet train.
It's varies in strength but that corresponds to about 1-2.5g of dried mushrooms. So a normal amount.
I have a hunch that many services they will probably want to collect the emails anyway. It provides websites a convenient excuse to ask people to join their marketing spam list. In most cases privacy isn't a profitable business proposition.
Say I mint an NFT and then purchase it myself for a high price. The next transaction will be Likely ahead of that price correct? Besides gas fees, what’s stopping by people from pumping their own NFTs?
I don't think what I am talking about is quite the same thing. Perhaps it would be more diplomatic to call my stance here to be in favor of applied genetics. DNA the molecule of genetics was not yet discovered. I do think there is a lot of potential in the idea of, say, cloning someone like Einstein from samples that have been preserved. It would be very interesting to me if a nation state cloned such people and set them to work on modern problems of quantum physics. What could such people accomplish in their lifetime starting in the present with our current knowledge and proofs and technologies.

well Einstein was against this idea of, you know, German pseudoscience, where they had these men going through mountains in the Middle East and measuring skulls and what have you, I do think applied genetics is a very different science.
For what it's worth, spiritual teachers believe psychedelics open people up to spiritual realities. That's pretty much the life story Ram Das (ex psych professor). Orthodox Christian priests tend to say it's spiritually dangerous akin to using a Ouija board or something - they would prefer people use safe methods like prayer to explore the spiritual world.

Scientists could probably measure negative psychological effects, anyways, as you say.
OpenSea is creepy. I think there have been numerous cases where they have frozen accounts/addresses with substantial value inside of them.

Sure, someone got hacked and they want to protect their assets, but I always thought that if you lost crypto, it was gone for good.
I can't get it done without numerous trips to Home Depot. At least one of those trips will be immediately after another, to buy what I was supposed to buy on the first trip, but where the first trip ended with me picking up a lot of other things.
The world is going to be locked into legacy CFB+MDC PGP pretty much indefinitely (because of the need to be compatible with an installed base which, owing to asynchronous messaging, can't be queried or negotiated with). As a result, to defend PGP as an ongoing practice, you're rhetorically required to argue that authenticated encryption --- not just modern AEAD, but the whole concept of authenticating ciphertext --- is overrated; 20 years of cryptographic research be damned.

That final, 1 word sentence is one of the major problems of PRs. An engineer might spend several hours really thinking through a problem, talking with colleagues, whiteboarding options and coming up with a workable solution that addresses all the obvious issues and a bunch of non-obvious ones.

Only for a drive-by take-down by someone with none of the context. It's a totally asymmetric investment of time. Even helpful review comments might only take a minute to write but a day to incorporate.
I was actually about to comment that I had forgotten about the light (or 'lite' as they like to commercially re-spell it since the 1950's) version and was pleasantly surprised that it works as expected.
The difference between a zero chance of infection and a 1 in 20 chance is obvious to me, and I would hope, to most people. I'd be happy to offer you a 0% chance at winning $1000 from me in exchange for a 5% chance of winning $1000 from you. I'll even pay you $5. ;-)
Scrum stifles innovation. Whenever someone tries to introduce scrum to my team I just link them to DHH's thoughts on the matter, he sums it up far better than I could hope to: https://nitter.net/dhh/status/1196856292683350016.

"Carving up the work to fit into these little, disjointed stories that can fit within a oppressively short two-week sprint is just soul crushing. Agile was supposed to be liberating us from process, but its current incarnation doubled down on its alienation. Software developers and designers aren't happy doing assembly line work. Calling that work "stories" is the great con of much modern agile process. A story without a beginning, a middle, or an end is a shitty one. It's more like just a scene, shot out of sequence."
The effects to those around you are that they have to hear the same story that everyone else has told them about your profound ego-destroying trip and how everyone should try psychedelics for x reason.

/s (truth though amiright)
Yes and that choice is ideally made freely and without coercion. Not following the diktat of some geek bearing equations. It’s very arrogant to assume that some central planning can replace the distributed computation of millions of people making free choices. Free markets everywhere except here ?
Apple is about the minimum amount of features. It's approach is minimalistic to the extreme and that's also good.

It's more or less the same reason why I like Gnome's minimalistic approach.

I have ADHD and everything I DON'T need is an OS that distracts me. FFS, I'd work from a VT-100 (even though I'd prefer a 3278-2 or 3279) if that was possible.
Are there security/UX risks with users getting used to using their wallet for auth ? It's difficult to know a safe vs. potentially unsafe site when it comes to crypto. Reading the docs, it appears to be relatively limited permissions, but either by giving more permissions than desired or phishing? Or can they combine the authentication with additional information to become a more effective spearphishing target?

If my email account is phished or hacked, it's bad, but there's a level between my cash and my email account. If I make a mistake here, potential losses are higher. In which case I'd probably have a 2nd wallet for auth and another I actually use, which then becomes more of a pain. I don't trust my parents or less technical relatives to use this flow safely.
Isn't that just a criticism of proof-of-work cryptocurrencies?

If you fold a piece of paper like an accordion, you'll find it's much harder to bend the paper along one axis but the parallel axis is easy.

Having lived through it all and seeing the outcome, the Big Dig was a pain while it was happening, but a smashing success now that it’s done. A later removal of some of the toll booths in favor of automated tolling has made the road network even more effective.

Is there still some traffic? Yes. Is it better than it was 30 years ago, even as the roads handle way more traffic? Absolutely.

> I hate to break this to you, but mysticism and spirituality isn't grounded in reality no matter what.

Some spiritual practices aim at direct experience of the true nature of reality. They're about sharpening your mind such that it is capable of intuiting such insights.
I have autistic traits so facial expressions and feelings are very hard for me to detect. An app or web service that helps me learn facial expressions (pictures next to expressions done by people) and gives tips about learning emotions woud really helpful. I haven't found one yet so if anyone knows of one that would be great

It'd be extra awesome if there were tests, like a mutlipe choice test on detecting the facial expression.
Nothing. It is all a pyramid scheme so literally do whatever you want. I'm surprised someone hasn't written a script to copy existing ones and re-upload with a lower price.
> That said it's almost impossible to abuse mushrooms

Untrue. People can and do get hooked on the deliriant and escapist effects. Some people get addicted to the idea that the trip is revealing important information that they need to continue receiving.

It may not be common, but it's very much possible.
“Physical addiction” isn’t really an academic term - but you are misinformed: physical dependence on cannabis is a very well-established phenomenon.

Reading good food writers is the whole point of having good food writers. They can build an evocative sense of the time and place, the sense of why a recipie is the way it is. Its sometimes a personal journey, its sometimes escapism. And yes it changes - Elizabeth David sounds outrageously prissy to modern ears - but food has always been part of human culture, and as we evolve so will our food.
Its fine to read the wikipedia "plot" section if you want a shortcut. But its nice to know you can just read the whole book. Slowly.
Suppose that in olden-times, only a handful of socially dominant kin networks were wealthy enough for education. And then social and education reform changed things so that a) everyone finished high-school, regardless of birth, and b) higher education resource allocation shifted to merit and motivation from social breeding. Suppose further, that the breakdown of the class system meant that idiosyncratic genetic markers of aristocratic inbreeding declined along with elite endogamy.

Would the results of this study be any different?
Having played a lot of rugby in my youth, I remember that scrums basically involved having one's head and ears rubbed very harshly by someone else's sweaty scalp while severe pressure was exerted on your neck and back. During all this, the steaming mass of teenage boys never really moved anywhere and very often ended in a collapse in the mud. I have never really understood why the name Scrum was chosen or whether the people who named it have ever been in one!
> what’s stopping by people from pumping their own NFTs?

Nothing. My outsider understanding is ... this is exactly what's happening.
Isn't the idea of distinguishing between physical and psychological addiction outdated?
This is the correct answer; psychedelics enhance aspects of your personality that were already quite present
Sounds peaceful. If it were of military importance, that would not be the case.
That’s a lot of words to say “this will have better marketing thanks to crypto hype.”

Seems to be the selling point of most web3 and blockchain solutions once you brush the buzzwords off the copy.
> Agile != Scrum

Not in my experience. If the job req calls for experience working in an agile environment, or the HM tells you they're an agile shop or undergoing an agile transformation... they do Scrum, and they probably use JIRA; if not JIRA then something even more unfathomably horrible like VersionOne.

Nobody gives a shit about what's in the Agile Manifesto. Agile is Mornington Crescent, and the Manifesto is the game they want you to think they're playing. The game they're actually playing is a quasi-Taylorist affair about generating constant, real-time, fine-grained metrics and accountability. Agile gets adopted in corporations because, and inasmuch as, it promises those to corporate management.
Sort of related, if you do "man read" you the the huge "bash" man page. It would be nice if man could be improved to take you to the "read" command within that page. Or a new command "manbash read"
I was not referring to this keyboard api but to another one that is coming very soon. It will allow to detect the event of a virtual keyboard being triggered, which allow the app to take into account the resize of its vh units.
Maybe it also allow to make the virtual keyboard be above the viewport and therefore not affect it, I don't remember.
Vh has other issues on mobile though.
If it only were Persona the thing that failed... But I've seen quite a lot of attempts at federated identity and turns out people don't care too much about that. People just want to login to whatever site to do things. Login with Twitter/FB/whatever is offered to reduce login friction, not because people think of them as identity providers. Offering "another identity provider" is solving the part of the problem most users really don't care for.
I ride a OneWheel and it can test your nerves sometimes. However, just looking at the speed and stance of a EUC makes me more nervous. You could just open your arms at 45mph and embrace the car in front of you.

Yes, Exactly what you describe we are working on bring about a release for. The examples on the homepage are the from the first tools we are releasing.

There are more tools to come related to:

- What the code is doing
- What the input/output of code is
- What this line does

And More, as we develop more and more tools based on user feedback.

I would love to have you as part of the early access group and gain more insightful feedback like this that will ensure these tools are useful to you and the developer community.

Cheers.

Your personal anecdotes, no matter how significant or varied, don't meaningfully contradict this research. This research happened in a controlled environment.
