Just anecdota of course, but waxes and tinctures are routinely promoted and offered in discount deals at virtually any legal weed dispensary in the USA. They are IMO increasingly mainstream, as they often work nicely with tools like vaporizers which more and more young people use to consume.

Technology has massively changed how people consume cannabis - many people today may have never rolled or smoked a traditional joint ever. You can buy it in ready to load resin cartridges powered by a LiIon battery. Many of these things produce cold vapor that makes it staggeringly easy to smoke an enormous quantity. At least with a joint, there normally comes a point one's throat will probably not thank you for continuing... The cold vapor from many vaporizers is almost odor free too, meaning people can consume in places they couldn't previously.
Facts aren't subjective, there are things where the facts to provide a definitive "truth" are not sufficient.

However this is not one of those cases.

The facts are that Russia invaded Ukraine (realistically this started in 2014), Russia is targeting civilian centers, and so on.
“[The fourth edition] is essentially identical in content with the previous editions, but has been extensively re-formatted to improve appearance, accessibility, ease of navigation, and standards compliance.”
I see your point, but just want to draw a line between something you ingest willingly that affects only you, and something foisted semi-secretly on the entire public by a special interest (basically to make cars and/or fuel more marketable) despite their knowing, almost from the beginning, how toxic it was. (One of many great examples of humans using technology because they can, without giving due consideration to whether they should.) I would rather the law protected me from the actions of others, and let me be the one to worry about what I do to myself.

[Edit: Which isn't to say there couldn't be a very persuasive weed marketing campaign or something, that influences people to use it and hides the negative effects. Just as there was a campaign to squelch public debate about the negative effects of tetraethyl lead. Nonetheless, being able to individually decide to reject inhaling lead, like you can with pot, would've been a welcome privilege.]

Not sure what "current" generation means, by the way. I'm currently alive, and currently, I'm in the same generation I've always been in. (I'm not mad, just teasing you a bit.)
> However, if your workload consists of one or more zfs datasets that store, and subsequently access, many small files, you can actually store the files themselves on the device - not just the metadata.

This sounds like the files themselves must be of size 8K or less in order to be allocated on the metadata vdev. But doesn't that include all individual file blocks of size 8K or less, not just entire files?
To enumerate your viewpoint: if there are five checkout lines at the grocery store, your odds of picking the fastest line are 1/5 (20%). The more grocery store lines there are, the lower the odds are of you picking the fastest line.

They added "express lanes" back in the 80s to somewhat address this, but then you have the person who ignores the sign and gets in the line with a full cart.
I always heard this joke with the punchline "beat me half to death."
It's got to be sarcasm. I'm pretty sure three weeks without food is about the time it takes to straight up die from starvation, and if it doesn't kill you I'd guess you'd need a long time to recover from the experience before you could survive going that long without food again.
Yeah, ban on running a business abroad is definitely going to hit the public supporting Putin, right.

Also, he doesn't have sky high approval any longer. At the last elections, he could muster his percentage in the first tour with huge falsifications and disallowing any other credible candidate.
This take is everywhere online but I don't see a lot of evidence for why this historical moment is different from past moments.

Fear sells news and ads. You're the sucker buying it.
That's a long list. I didn't think much at the time when TSMC decided to stop shipments but BlackRock and Bank of China "curtailing Russian access to capital markets"? Even TikTok is suspending operations..
I don’t think it should come as a massive surprise to anyone that alcohol isn’t exactly good for you.
> Recently, ActiviyStreams, ActivityPub, & other social web protocols have been doing ok. But we're still seeing only a very limited, unexpanding set of adopters. There hasn't been the kind of ultra-wide-scale adoption that tech like RSS/Atom had going, had pushing it forward. It's out there, but it's niche. And 100%, it's in many ways because content providers & platform providers both are trying to trump the social-benefit of open protocols, are desperate to capture the value themselves, while giving nothing away to a broader ecosystem.

I think this is where FF could have done something big, and maybe even saved themselves from irrelevance. Unfortunately, the time to start that was probably ten years ago, and if anything they've moved away from that sort of thing. Not sure it'd help, now, even if they changed course.
Work for what? People vent for pleasure, not as part of a plan. Clearly a more rational response to anger is to let it dissipate without losing your cool, then let your best self decide what to do.

But sometimes sharing a beer with a friend and going over the sins of those rat bastards that are fucking everything up is by God really fun. Like many pleasures, it is best in moderation. And should probably be done once you aren't so mad that you disturb your equanimity.
Because women can't tell confidence on a dating app they have a height filter and then it is 99% based on how photogenic the person is.

I have been on internet dates for almost 25 years now and I could even tell how interest in me would go down when I gained weight and then interest would come back massively after a diet.

Age though has caught up with me that I don't bother with apps much anymore. Just talking to people randomly in person is just so much better. It has really never been easier to show confidence. Just talking does the job now.
>Find another strategy

We’re at 39% meeting online up from 2% in 1995. We’re also at 27% meeting through bars/restaurants, similarly superficial. Online is increasingly where the women are.

https://www.statista.com/chart/amp/20822/way-of-meeting-part...

Half of singles aren’t seeking a relationship and singles have gone up over time, especially among men (Half 18-29 are single)
https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/08/20/a-profi...

People have this deep discomfort with the fact that more men are single now. About a quarter of the male population has just given up or just does not care. I’m well into the “don’t care” camp and I’m on meds that reduce libido and a bit of chemical castration is a blessing for me.

I don’t believe people care about dating as much or CAN date as much due to economic concerns. I believe that highly desirable men are now more marketable to women through dating apps, who are now serving the women who only ever wanted a fuckboy and then to get on with their lives. Men have less opportunity to market themselves to this smaller fraction of women in ways that don’t involve looks and men have become more superficially obsessed and this is a totally rational reaction.

Just offering some generic tip like “be confident” is just out of touch. Men know women like confident men, they aren’t stupid.
What Makes the Human Foot Unique? (2018)
Dude, literally millions of people are dabbing wax and vaping 95% purity THC all day every day in just the US. Millions. Not just in legal states, and not just delta-9-THC. There's all 50 states legal hexahydrocannabinol carts from hemp, delta-8,10 THC and THC-O acetate widely available. Not sure though why an article about lead exposure turned into a Reefer Madness spook campaign. If one were looking for parallels I think one would lean towards something like widespread use of PFAAS chems or something. Smoking plants is up to an individual.
To exaggerate massively - if you were running an authentication server for your software and found actual Nazis were using it, I think you'd be justified to boot them from it, even if they paid you.
The variety of alcohol on offer does seem a tad perverse, in a way that status quo bias renders difficult to perceive. How many brands of bottled water do you usually see? Half a dozen, tops? And much of the volume in that aisle is occupied by huge 16-packs and giant carriers. Meanwhile the average wine aisle has hundreds of different brands, nearly all no more than 75cl, and might even stretch to two aisles in a large supermarket. It dwarfs the available selection of any other category of product. And that's before we get into the bafflingly endless rows of spirits.

Is this a healthy relationship with what is, in the final analysis, an intoxicating drug? If there were an aisle in every supermarket with 10 times as much cannabis as you'd currently find in the average dispensary, would we regard that as equally normal?
This is an interesting one particularly when it comes to listening well in intimate relationships— the wisdom is that men are generally worse listeners and have a tendency to want fix things rather than just being present with their partner to understand how they are feeling and where they are at. And that learning to do this and learning to ask for it, are important pieces of long term relationship success.

All of which makes sense, but I do think some of the times when I've struggled with this was maybe tied into what your describing: a concern that while my partner's feelings of hurt or whatever were total valid, I found it hard to separate validating just the feelings while not also validating what I felt were unfair judgments/characterizations about the people or situations involved, and was nervous that letting those judgments go by unaddressed was indeed going to cement them as a future factual reference point.
One major aspect that makes sugar a category of its own is that there is a safe dose, and the safe dose isn't small. It's very easy to count how much you consume and not all cultures suffer from overconsumption.
This is all anecdotal but I have multiple friends who smoke regularly for years. I would consider them heavy smokers, think 5+ joints a day. Once their states had recreational or easily obtainable medicinal marijuana and the retail shops that come with it they quickly started moving into the concentrates and waxes. Now they regularly are going through grams of concentrates and going back to their previously "heavy-use" of 5 joints a day would barely scratch their itch.

The availability of vape pens also makes it REALLY easy to end up smoking way more than you would otherwise and as an easy way to start smoking in general. I smoke and enjoy the convenience of pens but they are perfect tools for increasing cannabis consumption in a population.

It is almost as if flower based cannabis is a gateway drug to these concentrated forms and I think it is really easy to go down that path as an already regular user. It's more economical, potentially better for you (less smoking) and now very easy to obtain.

I think the "overton window" of cannabis use is being shifted to the heavier end. Casual users will probably stay about the same but regular and heavier users will all shift to more or higher potency consumption.
Is that your strongest argument? A smell?

If anything broke down the social norm against drug use it was the heroin and opioid epidemics.. Which started shortly after Afghanistan.

Probably the trillions of dollars pumped into feeding terrorism instead of going on free school lunches and the like pushed people into drug use as well.

Seriously, I don't know how people can miss the mark this far. Yet apparently many in DC do, and it's getting REAL OLD.
'We are refugees': Russians flee rising authoritarianism
> In a tech world with dozens of "amazing leaders", is it possible that some of them just got lucky? They took some shots in the dark, some got lucky, some got unlucky: can it be that simple?

The path to success is deceptive, if you directly follow your objective you don't get there except for easy problems. Exploration and seemingly useless ideas are stepping stones to success, but you can only tell in hindsight. For example, neural nets go directly to the target, they follow the gradient to the desired outcome - that's their main limitation. Evolution on the other hand can sidestep these hard problems, but the price is much trial and error.

I think Steve was one of these explorers who in hindsight were right.
AAC-LC is also patent-free now. Same support as MP3 across devices while providing much better quality.
Excuse me I was outside with a sign protesting even before the invasion when the votes were being counted in FL then I volunteered for the campaign for a primary challenger after and I certainly had numerous calls from my relatives in Germany where we talked about Iraq.
Sounds good. When Russians suffer as much as people in Ukraine...
I've read so many people in this forum of all places that seem very content screwing over regular Russians.
> Great for reading news

I've found machine translation often does a poor job even with news, in European languages. There's just too much implicit shared context we don't even think about.

The mistranslated example I remember best is the word "Bund" in a German headline, which can mean a lot of things, but in context clearly meant the federal government.

I think lots of smart people with lots of energy have spent lots of time trying to solve this problem with respect to getting customers and keeping them. It's a hard hard problem. Subscription supporting the free-with-ads IMHO seems to be the sweet spot.
Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

We saw it with tobacco/lead/etc, so it's only natural/right to apply that experience to other things. Theorizing that sugar/THC could also fall into the same model is not wasting of anyone's time. If evidence is found that it is bad, then good can come from that knowledge. If evidence is found that it is not bad, then party on Wayne. But the studies should be conducted. Let's look forward to having actual knowledge rather than just blindly carrying on in the dark with no flashlight to guide.
Aren't they famous for going to hacker conventions and looking like another fellow hacker instead of a suit? the NSA even has given talks at DEFCON.

What is clear is that Putin is highly paranoid and has been since taking power and he's willing to commit crimes against humanity to stay in power.

He's already announced he is willing to use nukes if threatened and NATO will not respond unless multiple re-entry vehicles carrying nukes rain on their cities. He could do a lot here by using small scale nukes that don't create huge fallouts even.

If you were Putin, does it not make sense that his least trusted, potentially disloyal officers, generals would be on the frontlines and hope they don't come back?
> Also Libya was 10-0-5 in the UNSC

Resolution was about no fly zone, and stopping attacks on civilians. It is a subject of discussion if NATO expanded operation to extra actions.
The entire Russian economy needs to be punished as much as possible in as short a time as possible. This unavoidably hurts everyone.
Would love to see some RFP of web3. Do you have links to the protocol spec?
My wife always wonders why I don't care about certain things around the house. I always tell her I know for an absolute fact that when I'm on my deathbed I will never wish I spent more time worrying about how green my grass is.
Probably just ignorance. ncurses should work for all POSIXes I think.
So matches is what you are optimizing for?
I think Zelenskyy should take: No eu/Nato membership (face it, he's months or years from qualifying anyways), and he leaves Donbask, and Crimea (for now), but does NOT agree to disband any military, and is allowed to secure his own borders.

In otherwords he can still ramp up, then the west simply continues squeezing Putin and Russia for a year, or 3... then he can either go take back Crimea/Donbask regions, or perhaps wage a coup inside Russia -- get the oligarchs to agree to a Democratic Merging of Ukraine, Belarus, Russia with Zelenskyy as President for the first two terms, and with a path towards NATO and EU membership - which would be a HUGE finger to China and a big win for Democracy.

This essentially gives both sides a ceasefire but western pressure on Russia slowly strangles them to the point of collapse, and Zelenskyy can then basically take over, as he's basically a Hero for many in Ukraine and Russia and even Europe and USA. I mean a comedian turned President against Putin and he's holding his own pretty well - it's David vs Goliath.

IMHO that's the best option. As for this war, whether Zelenskyy does this or not. Putin has lost Russia. It's a matter of time before he's deposed after this blunder. Russia will never win in Ukraine.

Option B: Hold out a month, and basically Russia might be at the point they'd give him Crimea, Belarus, and Donbas if the west just eases up a tiny fraction on sanctions.
I've had the impression that "Web3" is essentially a marketing buzzword without much real weight behind it.

From a technological standpoint, how is it significantly different from "Web2"? Seems to me like it's essentially the same tech we've used for decades with some usage of the metamask API thrown in.
Ok then it's probably an error... Dunno, just guessing. This whole thread is based on a tweet...
Yes. Probably the single most effective use of the GPU for audio is convolutional reverb, for which a number of plugins exist. However, the problem is that GPUs are optimized for throughput rather than latency, and it gets worse when multiple applications (including the display compositor) are contending for the same GPU resource - it's not uncommon for dispatches to have to wait multiple milliseconds just to be scheduled.

I think there's potential for interesting things in the future. There's nothing inherently preventing a more latency-optimized GPU implementation, and I personally would love to see that for a number of reasons. That would unlock vastly more computational power for audio applications.

There's also machine learning, of course. You'll definitely be seeing (and hearing) more of that in the future.
You may be right. Unless it's true that `<!-f` is always equivalent to `<!f`.

Then again, I'd be even more horrified if the above statement is not true anyways.
CockroachDB targets a different workload, namely, lots of reads and writes of individual records, versus returning large chunks of even larger tables.

So it might help with inserts but would struggle with larger queries.
We could mail photos to Russians and air drop them in Ukraine where Russian forces are.
maybe delay it by 2-5 years. but it will result in a longer famine. the nuclear winter would last longer. millions of deaths would occur due to famine rather than the nuclear fallout.
The accounts I follow (like @OSINTtechnical) are careful to point out that Russia is doing relatively well in the south of Ukraine but I’ve never seen a believable analysis that they actually are doing well, and I’ve looked. The ones out there are base contrarianism, usually disproven in the next day or two. In particular they assume Russia somehow controls land by driving straight past it so it gets marked red on the map.

Still, it doesn’t change their ability to flatten any city they want. And the lack of any good successor government in Russia to allow the current one to collapse, so they have nothing to lose.

In the end it’s all Larry Summers’ fault, like everything else in the world.
If you are willing to look at the actual evidence, I am willing to discuss this with you. One specific case, GOFAST.wmv [1], because it has relatively good quality and seems easy to analyze. For this case I am only aware of the video, but if there is additional evidence, we can also look at that, but I want to start with the video first.

My first point would be, that the size of the object, more specifically the area facing the camera, is no more than about 1.5 meters wide and 1.0 meters high. Would you agree?

I think at the time, fantasy fiction was really popular. Stuff like King Arthur, Merlin, etc... 1963 was the release date for Disney's Sword in the Stone 4-5 years before Mr. Roger's Neighborhood in 1968. I imagine kings, queens, knights, and dragons were a common trope that children would be familiar with. Using a Mayor or Governor would require a lot more explaining for children to understand his role and have more political undertones. It also kind of made the land of make believe a little more fantastical.
The rise of GitHub seems to me one of the strangest things in the world. I've heard it called "the front page of the FOSS movement"! But the code for GitHub is not available on GitHub! It was weird enough when a closed-source proprietary company put themselves in front of an open-source distributed VCS and got traction, but then they were acquired by Microsoft!? That's like Sauron buying the Shire and charging the hobbits rent on their own land or something. I feel a rant coming on, so I'm going to check myself here.

I think if the world ends, it won't be due to Fire or Ice. I think the name of doom is "Convenience".
Yeah, fair enough. Are there organizations who foreigners can legally donate to who work on get-out-the-vote or other voter base initiatives that would benefit him?
Seems like a pretty good resource. It doesn’t seem to follow the more recent consensus on intermittent fasting or keto/etc, but it’s an older page, so that makes sense.
From a military-strategic point of view? Absolutely.

But this is a political decision that should not be taken in haste, every choice here has significant ramifications and allowing for a less hasty debate is a good thing in my opinion.
And lots of Russians actually believe that the strikes are "precision" and only aimed at the military targets. There's a video recorded by a woman in Mykolaiv walking among the rubble and cursing at her Russian relatives for not believing her while her city is literally under shelling.
LMAO, this will never happen. Especially after Russians gunned down civilian refugees during a 'ceasefire'. Russians are defecting from the military left and right if anything the Russians are likely to beg Ukraine to be their new overlords or at least claim asylum.
>I have a strong worries that our current generation will have a similar huge reckoning with...

I thought that sentence was going to end with "Covid".[1] Research was just published yesterday which indicates that even mild cases have resulted in damage to the brain. Meanwhile, over the last few months we have just accepted that everyone is going to get it eventually. Who knows what the long term impact will be of us all giving ourselves a little brain damage?

EDIT: It is funny that the HN community's commitment to moving on from the pandemic has gotten to the point in which linking to research that suggests maybe getting Covid is bad is downvoted.
