I've always been a little fuzzy on this and would love for someone else to chime in.

It's my understanding that raw marijuana contains both psychoactive cannabinoids as well as precursors which require decarboxylation.

If that's the case, I am not sure that decarboxylation is _required_ - however it is recommended as it increases the _amount_ of bioavailable cannabinoids (i.e. best bang for your buck.)
> Because schools can't bullshit maintenance certification curricula and aren't willing to pay qualified faculty.

Yeah, the crucial thing that most people miss in these discussion is that most schools don’t actually effectively teach what they claim to be teaching. Teachers and students go through the motions, but the students don’t actually end up learning much of anything, and the teachers who nevertheless give them passing grade face no consequence. If a typical high school started offering aircraft maintenance certification, instead of increasing the graduates value on job market, it would simply make the certification to be held as worthless.
Any thoughts on supporting Avro? I notice there's no issue for it in the Github repo, curious if there is a reason for that. We're pretty much replacing all CSV interchange with Avro (at least where the other side can handle it).
I'm dubious that this lacks societal benefit overall. Even if we buy that breaking up the sexually abusive family is't the best thing (already dubious), there's strong second order effects of this disincentiving abuse.

Automatic genetic testing also has other advantages of preventing future paternity disputes.

Honestly, this would be an interesting thing for a single state to run an experiment with and see how behaviors change.
Well, there must be an indoctrination process happened sometimes in the history. After all, facial masks are not invented in ancient time people are not used to wear them.

So when the obedient Puritan people coming to this land. They are very cooperative in helping maintaining the community.

Through some indoctrination, they learned to stand up with their own wills. Turns out coins indeed always have 2 sides, right? When the individuals learn to stand up coercion with their own wills, they would stand-up against facial masks, vaccines, quanrintaines, etc.
I miss when games were for fun.

Now, games are filled with pay-items which I guess some people enjoy, but it leads to not a lot of fun in some cases. For example, some games sell tokens that you can convert to in-game money. That essentially translates into a boring grind for 100 hours or pay X amount to skip that by getting enough money to buy the items you need to skip that content.

I haven't bought a new game since 2016, and I'll never support the *AAA gaming industry ever again :)
Not all cannabinoids in the smoke are carboxylated, or at least lets agree that the efficiency of your average conversion is not 100%. Some degree of non-carboxylated cannabinoids can ride those particles too .. for example at the beginning of a joint, the smoke is being drawn through THC fields which have not yet been burned, but may be dislodged and part of the draw as the heated substrate is pulled into the lungs ..
One particular thing I learned from playing chess, which turned out to be applicable in business/office-environment, is the idea of creating "space" for yourself. It's a little hard to convey without making it seem trivial, but let's say someone is acting aggressively, you can sort of box them away from you a bit (in chess you would use pawns for this, in business any proxy will do) and give yourself space to operate (move your pieces around, get you project done), and once you've got them boxed away you can relax and do what you need to do, you don't have to worry about them for a comfortable amount of time.

It's this particular sense of space which I found was improved by playing a fair amount of chess, and there were moments when I had to deal with more aggressive people and I found that I wasn't so flustered because I knew I could create space when I needed it.
Dear members of Congress: in support of alternatives to big tech
Exactly correct. Black Lotus is expensive because MTG is fun and the card is rare. Same for AWPs.

It really doesn’t matter what the technology is that’s used to store the transaction of these items, the most important thing continues to be that the game is actually _fun_!!!
re: index, it has definitely gotten a lot better vs. the OG vive but ex. 12px font is still fuzzy IMO. Overall it does not yet improve on what i can do on a regular laptop screen.
This is an extremely naive view of the situation. I'm really glad that you were able to help yourself but the material likely wasn't by Google.

In the meantime Google is using this information to manipulate your desires and actions and you can be sure as hell that it is using data about your behavior and interests to improve it's position in the market. Google buys companies and stocks and they have an advantage few of us can ever hope to have.

I promise you, Google knows you better than you know yourself and it's using that knowledge to further it's own interests without caring much about the people, countries or economies it's hurting.

Right, I figured. This is entirely orthogonal to the discussion about the problems with higher ed in the us...
You've touched on something else that I found extraordinarily impressive there: how amazingly thorough their risk analysis process is and how well thought out their mitigation plans are. When they had the problem I came to help work through (not immediately safety critical, but a big deal, intentionally being vague here), step one was to reach up to the shelf and grab the binder labelled "Business Continuity Plan: Problem $X" and start executing the plan from page 1. It wasn't a plan to fix the problem so much as a plan for how to continue operations until the issue was fixed. Very very impressive.

I learned a lot on that gig, and it's really helped influence the way I think about business "disaster planning", whether caused by floods, or data centres burning down, or a rogue sysadmin deleting backups, or whatever. That industry is 100% the opposite of "cowboy".
I have a lot of friends who play almost exclusively shooters and this kind of stuff is what's put me off of the genre. I really miss back when you could get a copy of unreal tournament or half life deathmatch and just drop in w/ all the guns unlocked and available and just rampage.

I know it's a different genre completely from the more realistic shooters like Battlefield and Call of Duty, but even still I miss the unfettered drop-in fun in those older games and there seem to be hardly any left.

Hi HN,

This idea has been a dream of mine for years [0]. As a web developer, I never learned After Effects or any other complex animation software.

But I've always dreamed of creating interactive demos and animations just by using my natural mouse movements. It just feels right.

So last week I took a few days off from my main project to create Animatize [1], a proof-of-concept showing off the idea of using natural movement to create an animation.

I'd love to know what you think.

Good lord, I hope you don’t manage people.
> Like a government-level "Why are you hitting yourself?"

Putin has been a steady hand over Russia, but it's been at the cost of standards of living [1]. That's threatening neighboring regimes, which are only standing thanks to Moscow's support.

Putin isn't dumb. He sees the writing on the wall. The bet is likely that the wave of nationalism that would accompany a war will outweigh its massive costs, directly and indirectly, for long enough for Putin and his cronies to ride out the decade.

You already have. I want to see the graduation stats.

> It didn't matter what education level they attained, across the population the outcome was consistent. Having a job while young made a huge difference - almost as much as having a degree.

Sorry but your point is way too centered on your anecdotes. Fact remains that college graduates make more money.

Corporations are completely tone deaf. The way you say things and the details of your situations will not be perceived by the relevant decision managers.

In a small company, it can make a difference. In a large one, it won't.
They "lose" money because they offer more than men's basketball and football. Those two sports finance everything else, it's easy to document millions in losses for swimming, soccer, track, field, baseball, softball, tennis, golf, and everything else.

Also a Universities goal of learning is research, not teaching, especially not undergrad teaching.
Nice work! Looks like I have some code updates to do.
A little over a week later and it seems something has been released that nearly meets these two requirements: https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/01/13/raspberry-pi-cm4-nan...
Latency, bandwidth (and with that, packet loss).

Right now the closest tech to do this would be something like WiFi - but the latency is high, and the typical home's WiFi network bandwidth (practically due to the vagaries of radio) is not sufficient.

A few reasons this is important:

- latency in VR induces motion sickness and operates on a different scale than we're used to for regular network communications. A 50ms lag in a 2D video game is acceptable, a 50ms lag in VR will cause nausea and vomiting. This is a domain where single-digit milliseconds matter a great deal for user comfort.

- resolution and refresh rate is everything - VR's viability in large part hinges on the resolution of the screens, which right now are somewhere between "poor" and "mediocre" - nothing so far has come close to replicating 20/20 vision. Moreover you need those screens to refresh far more quickly than a regular monitor - 60Hz doesn't cut it, 90Hz is basically the minimum. Streaming an uncompressed 8K stream at 90Hz over wireless requires more bandwidth than any existing standard can deliver. It's at the edges of our wired capabilities.

Of course you can compress the streams, but that not only degrades image quality (which matters a great deal when the screens are replacing your eyesight) but also injects additional latency into the whole affair.

It's theoretically possible - but would require developing a lot of custom tech that doesn't exist yet. It would also likely be highly sensitive to the exact particulars of the physical environment - one user may have a perfect experience while the other experiences so much packet loss/reduction in bandwidth that the whole experience is unusable.

It's close if you count it in francs, and include all services. This article [0] says that France Telecome gave 700 M FRF to the operators, which means that 1,050 M FRF were collected in 1986 alone.

Planning to! Feel free to open an issue so you can follow along.
The Eternals is also fantastic for not using slow motion at all for the speedster. Although she doesn't have a lot of screen time, the little action that is there feels great.
It doesn't matter why a new version would be very backwards-incompatible. Whether that is language semantics (2->3) or deprecation and replacement of stdlib (3->4 ?)
That's pretty cool. I always thought animation making should look like this, not million of layers and dots. GJ!
Yes, it is not the traditional use of the term. But for me, lending an 18 to 21 year old $200k +/- $50k to get a degree in literature from a non top school would qualify as predatory lending.

The probability of that person digging themself out of that hole and being able to achieve the common expectations of a family, house, vacations, retirement, weekends, etc is pretty low.
> why not offer NATO membership to both Ukraine and Russia?

NATO is a mutual defence pact. Russia is the most militarily aggressive country in Europe. Agreeing to defend the bully when their chickens come home to roost is a tough sell.
We have built our own firebase alternative in our company with Golang, we are using the same and probably open source it very soon.
regarding ATM and DSL - A lot of setups in Europe apparently used PPPoA, not PPPoE, meaning your DSL line integrated easily with the ATM network on the backbone from my understanding.
Oh my god. If anything I applaud his willingness to stay on the hunt :)
Presumably this was in a larger city, as most of the places I have been have had ad hoc, safe and established distribution networks that weren't too difficult to break into after some time. This is in the US though and I can't quite tell what country you're referring to (though I could see someone referring to the US tongue-in-cheek that way)

I'd go even further to make a case that the market and its reputation system works similarly well for the aforementioned ground level networks, if you can find them. Read the room, be a desirable client and behave with everyone's interests in mind and you will likely never have an issue. Good business is good business regardless of whether it happens online or in person I suppose.

As an aside I often wonder to what degree the prevalence of onion markets over the past decade have impacted the availability of weed within these offline distribution networks. My anecdotal experience from my legal-weed-desert neck of the US has been a slow growth of offerings and inventory stability and a 20-40% reduction in prices. No idea how much of that is due to the online markets.
Exactly, people get loans for houses and cars, and the banks make damn sure you're a good credit risk. For college loans, it's literally the opposite. Since the loans are so hard to get rid of, the only incentive is to increase the number and size of the loans.

The issue is that if lenders looked at creditworthiness for college loans the way they do for mortgages, either the price of college would have to decline precipitously, or they would trust far fewer people with that amount of money.
They probably mean the voluntary survey that most quick online applications have nowadays.
I love how Microsoft is a footnote but they put Amazon in the headline.. for software security.
That works well for things you can limit to alphanumeric, which is pretty much only usernames. For everything else there will be an exploit in some context without proper escaping. You can decrease the attack surface, but you have to weigh that against the false sense of security it might give developers.
It's just speculation as to how this went down, but having been in this position before it's usually not an easy thing to handle. If there's a dispute about impact a responsible researcher will usually say "I still plan on publishing this information on X date". This gives the company time to both convince the researcher the impact isn't as severe as they think and also to prepare a public response for that date.

An irresponsible researcher will either say "I'm gonna publish because I think it's high impact" and not give a date (and then often publishing with no notice on a Friday afternoon) or won't even provide notice.

It's often impossible to know which type of actor you're dealing with until it's too late. I've even had people claim they won't publish until X date and then publish early. You can't just provide public notice or you'll both piss off the researcher and run the risk of accidentally giving the impression a low impact bug is actually high impact.
The test isn't so much about the ability to invert a binary tree (for example), but the ability to problem solve complicated problems where the obvious solution is probably not the best one.

In interviewing, it is hard to produce real world problems that don't require a huge amount of context and details of some obscure software stack, so we go with abstract problems which are kind of irrelevant to real work, but the problem solving approaches you need to take are very relevant. Thinking about the requirements, thinking at the right level of abstraction, defensive coding, to name just a few.

Communication and whatnot are all on top of that, and yes, absolutely do need to be evaluated.

I'll also note that MAANG companies have extremely sophisticated software stacks (and multiple ones for each company!) that were built by people who were hired using that method.

If it is wrong, it's working pretty darn well.

There are many things I would change if I could, but we do have an existence proof that, in the aggregate at least, the people this interviewing method selects for can build amazing software stacks.

Indeed. And this is one of those "lessons learned".
At all the startups I’ve worked at over 10 years, this just hasn’t been the case. I’m in the minority apparently. We’ve explicitly looked for a mix of experience to fill missing roles on the team. Frequently the newer devs have direct experience with a hot new framework and are clearly very hungry. This is great for hiring. However any company of marginal success will find itself at a strong disadvantage scaling the systems or team size without experienced engineers. You can only punt on this so long before the weight of bad architecture, testing and code quality from inexperienced devs results in stagnation and liability.
The bigger question is "why now". Ukraine is not joining NATO or the EU any time soon. Russia has de facto annexed Crimea and its ongoing support for separatists in Donbas keeps the region unstable to its advantage.

I suspect two reasons: Putin's flagging domestic support and Russia's (and to be honest, the world's) perception that America is currently so divided and weak it will be unable to offer much resistance than token sanctions (nor will the EU, given Germany's self-flaggelating energy policy). The danger is that this might snowball into a larger conflict - if Russia thinks the US is no longer a threat, what's stopping the Chinese from going into Taiwan, or the North Koreans causing mischief?
XP gates weapons and equipment in the base game. You are literally not getting to do all the fun stuff if you don't grind some.
why is NATO a threat? Has NATO ever started a conflict, seized territory, or imposed sanctions? Genuinely asking, I pretty ignorant here.
With regards to 1

A lot of the trades are hard on your body. By the time you are 45-50 your knees could be wrecked and that makes it hard to do service work like electric/HVAC.

There are an argument that desk work isnt healthy either but that is a different discussion.
What a cool project. You can really fit a lot of concepts into such a refined approach to animation. Thank you for sharing your result with us, I hope you are having fun with it too.
I dropped Netflix because everything on there it suggests seems to be ‘dystopian dark sci fi/fantasy’ to the point where I wonder if they even understand that not everyone wants to see this as ‘entertainment’.

I didn’t watch a bunch of dystopian stuff so why is it pushing on me? Because that’s the movies they made/bought.

There doesn’t seem to be any interesting non grim dark stuff left I haven’t seen already.
I think that's why we've been seeing the most churn in retail and enterprise software. In my view, those two areas accentuate that feeling of meaningless event ands realizing that you want to do something more fulfilling. I know that's why I left my job and moved to a startup whose work is more fulfilling to me.
Unreal's mutators were great! It was like the fun you could get from Quake console without having to read and type a lot. Also very discoverable.
My car was stolen and I was told by the police they couldn’t do anything at all (even while I had real-time tracking). Only after my father in law, a retired LAPD homicide detective gave his friend at the station a call did they give us a ride to where my car had been abandoned.

The ride was in the back of a police SUV. I’m 6ft and it was in humane - extremely uncomfortable, extremely unsafe, I felt like an animal. If I had been 6ft5 it would have been genuinely hard to breath. I had to ask twice for them to wear a mask.

After dropping me off at my stolen and partially destroyed car, they talked briefly about lunch and then left, never to be heard from again. There was a large knife left in my car from the thief. No fingerprints taken or asked for.

And this is my experience as a home-owner with a powerful family friend on the inside. I have plenty of other stories from when I was single and poor.

Only wealthy white folks who haven’t dealt with the police would question the legitimacy of the OPs question.
Word gets out, though. Once people figure out that lack of language skills is the blocker, well, we already know that they're reasonably smart people, they'll learn English.

Remember how grindy world of Warcraft used to be?

I mean it’s still grindy but remember how much worse it was?

Well let me tell you a secret: when it came out in 2004 people were talking about how it was turning MMOs into very casual play because of how little grind there is compared to EQ and others.

Games were always work. Not all of them, of course, but this isn’t a new thing. It’s just that there are genres of games that are better suited to the grind; they come and go.
USA annexes Hawaii, no one bats an eye. Russia annexes Crimea, everyone loses their minds.

Rather than loans, we should reinvest in state universities, which in general have been massively defunded over the past decades, and also tie that additionally funding to reduced student costs so that the money goes where it should. The decision to attend university should be made more on the basis of student capabilities and available slots than on having big loans or ROTC access (and ROTC experience is a great thing, that has its own wonderful merits)
