Not sure, who would pay the bill for the food poisoning?

If you are reselling my food am I still responsible for it?

Say you heat the container on your bike to a danger zone temperature. Say the order sits at the bottom but you have the same order on top. The food at the bottom could sit there all day.

Say I've also undercooked the chicken.

Who is to blame?
> I’m sorry but you are strongly over exaggerating the (side) effects of i.v. ketamine. It’s not a dose that sends you in a K hole. It’s way less than that.

0.5 mg/kg intravenous. For frame of reference, a small recreational dose is between 5-25 mg (insufflated[0]), and a larger recreational dose (for people targeting a "k-hole") is more like 50-100mg. For clinical depression (ie, not this study, but for a similar purpose), the fixed dose is 84mg (not weight-based).

So assuming a 75kg individual, that would be a 37.5mg intravenous dose, which is definitely going to provide a noticeable effect for any ketamine-naive user (ie, someone who does not already have a tolerance for the drug from recent prior use).

> The problem with ketamine and suicidality studies is that suicides - thankfully don’t happen very often - so we have no direct evidence that ketamine prevents suicides.

That's not really a problem - suicidal ideation is a strong enough predictor for suicidality and mental health that it's common to use as a biomarker. In other words, nearly anything that reduces suicidal ideation is presumed to reduce suicidality (on a large scale) - it's not necessary to wait months or years to see what happens (and in fact, depending on the specifics of the study, it can be considered unethical to do so).

Wow - this post is getting a lot of great discussion. We are working on responding to the comments directly. A few key points to add that help frame how we think about the role biotechnology plays in carbon capture and removal.

Similar to how advanced biotechnology was able to help develop covid vaccines in record time, biotechnology can and should be used a tool in our fight against climate change. Living Carbon works on a broad array of biotech projects to help improve the carbon capture and sequestration of carbon underground.

We chose to share our work on photosynthesis-enhancement as an example of one of the biotechnology tools that can be utilized because 1) there is precedent in literature for similar pathways working in other crops and RuBisCO engineering has been worked on for decades 2) many of the solutions to storing carbon underground for longer are metabolically taxing to plants and can benefit from biotechnology.

In response to vague fears around genetic engineering, if Living Carbon’s work resulted in ecosystem destruction we would not have achieved any of the goals we set out to achieve as a company. We have warmed the world so quickly plants do not have the time to evolve to survive in the harsher world we have created.

It would be silly to think that our trees alone could or should stop climate change. We view each pilot project as an opportunity to study trees in different ecosystem and understand any impacts they have on underlying ecosystems.

We’re intentionally planting trees on land that human previously degraded - such as abandoned mine lands. We’re working to restore ecosystems that have already faced the consequences of human intervention, rather than integrating our trees into already-thriving wild forests.

Many of our test pilot projects include the testing of different microbial treatments to help quantify the impact on photosynthesis and the growth rate of trees.

75% of the earth’s land has already been degraded by humans. 60% of plants are struggling to survive because there are fewer animals and arable land to spread their seeds and maintain a meaningful population. Whether it’s through paving over our rivers or our urban sprawl, we’ve been modifying our world for centuries. Evolution, which is essentially sums of averages over, cannot move at the speed that humans have moved to degrade our plant and warm it.

There is not silver bullet to climate change. Many solutions like mineralization, biochar, and DAC can increase their rate of carbon removal using biotechnology and more efficiently remove carbon from the atmosphere. We need to use human technology to help reintegrate ourselves into our ecosystem and understand how carbon farming using many different carbon removal technologies can help remove carbon from our ecosystem.

Hey, thanks for your question. A couple of points -

1) You don't need to make an account & download an extension for Smort

2) Ads don't show up in Smort

3) You can actually edit the article content in Smort using Markdown. Please see https://www.smort.io/demo-walkthrough for all that is possible

4) You can customize your font size, style and theme with Smort
Oh, I see. You were just making a completely unrelated comment about what you personally would do if you were in Andre's situation. You never meant that to be read as a justification for Andre's actions - of course.

If you didn't mean to defend or justify Andre's behavior, or minimize his guilt and responsibility for his crimes, then you and I are on the same page. He is a criminal who should be held responsible for his crimes. If you disagree with that then I suggest that's a more meaningful disagreement between us than whether or not you meant to say that Andre had to steal to survive.

> Having actually spent a lot of time wandering around outside in the international district in early 2020, I can say that the current trajectory absolutely didn't start around/after the summer unrest.

I will absolutely back that up 100%.

The 2020 summer unrest imo is first-order irrelevant to the homelessness/crime question, although policing practices/headcount might influence certain things somewhat.

Yeah, personally that's the option I would choose too. It should fall on Sass to change whatever they may need to.

It's not completely "kind-of simple" though, as there is, potentially, a fair amount of code written with Sass in currently running projects. It is a cost to consider.

Also, there have been some precedents in the JavaScript community, mainly with Mootools -an old library, mostly irrelevant today but with some existing code still running in the wild- and the name of a couple of methods such as includes and flatten. The thing is that TC39 really pushes for "not breaking anything at all", and by proximity the CSS community seems to have some people with a similar opinion.

Python the language itself, perhaps not. The standard library, on the other hand, is a random hodgepodge of imperative, OOP, and functional styles, and the greater library ecosystem is no different.
Yep, an open book exam is basically the perfect weapon against cheating. Plus for almost all subjects, including a lot of medicine actually, memorising stuff is not helpful in the field. If it's that important, you should double check anyway.

The downside to open book exams is they can take a lot more effort to mark. And actually paying attention to filthy undergraduates is a bit infra dig, dontcha know?
Congrats! I was recently considering again hosting a chat server, tried out dendrite and conduit (efficient matrix homeservers), but the admin api are still not there yet (they don't seem production ready yet). So i'm gonna stick with prosody! Perhaps we will soon see which one of xmpp or matrix gets an SFU component first to do voice channels efficiently!
You really don’t need high tech to cheat in exams. I was studying a few years ago (I was a mature student) and there were a few kids who took 3-4 toilet visits in a 2 hour exam to review notes on their phones after seeing the questions. The school can’t search you before the exam (i.e they can’t stop you carrying a phone) and they can’t watch you in a toilet cubicle. All these kids did well in their degree despite being idiots in classes and lectures.

> The absolutely staggering level of income and wealth inequality we have experienced in the last decade has taken all of those problems and multiplied them tenfold

I apologize for my curtness, but I don't buy this.

Seattle's lack of homes has to do with NIMBYs blocking upzoning efforts. The city is mostly R1 zoned, and most homeowners have been here for more than a decade. The new 'rich' transplants are mostly renting in what is a massive wealth transfer to historic homeowners in the Seattle area.

The worst of Seattle's problems also coincide strongly with the leadership being elected into office. HN-users frequently complain about terrible policies in middle-American cities and states. Some times, a complaint is a complaint. A pseudo anonymous forum should not require its participants to sugarcoat their feelings about living in a city.

> incredibly complex problems

I agree there. But, there is low hanging fruit that the city can start with.

> Seattle is a beautiful city with a lot to offer

This is part of why my criticism is so sharp. The squandered potential is what hurts. I will be honest, I do not complain about problems in desert cities like Phoenix or rust belt cities in economic ruin. They find themselves in irreversible long-term quagmires.

But, cities like SF and Seattle that are flourishing, have all the potential in the world to have liveable city-cores like some east-coast cities or other global cities. Seattle is gorgeous, with amazing food and potential for liveliness. But, the complete reluctance to acknowledge the problem and the possibility of some obvious solutions is agonizing.

I will lay them out in as clear words as possible.

1. Being weak-on-crime & homeless-friendly encourages more crime & homeless migrants.

2. A rapidly growing city needs rapidly growing housing.

Some supporting proof of seattle's homelessness problems in comparison to peer cities:

[1] High base and increase in Seattle homelessness - http://www.citymayors.com/society/usa-cities-homelessness.ht...

[2] High rate of mentally ill homeless in Seattle - https://dynomight.net/homeless-crisis/ (specifically: https://dynomight.net/img/homeless-crisis/coc/WA-Seattle%20K...)

In the Vista days they at least tried to do the right thing; it was still an era where computers were tools to serve the user, not to exploit/abuse them, most business models were still "sell a thing people need/want at a profit", and the current state of telemetry & ad-related tracking would've still been considered "spyware" and would've led to massive outrage and maybe even legal consequences.

Nowadays, they don't even try to do "the right thing", or at the very least, the meaning of "the right thing" has been corrupted in many parts of the tech industry. "Growth and engagement" is seen as a completely normal and valid business model and pervasive stalking (that would make spyware from a decade ago super jealous) became socially-accepted.
No, `elif`, `elsif`, and `elseif` exist to solve a real grammatical problem. They occur in languages that don't have an explicit block statement with its own delimiters and instead allow a sequence of statements directly inside the then and else branches of an if statement, with some terminator like `end` at the end (or dedent in Python).

In those languages, without something like `elif`, you get an endless march to the right when you chain a series of ifs:

if c1 then
s1
else
if c2 then
s2
else
if c3 then
s3
else
if c4 then
s4
else
s5
end
end
end
end

C doesn't need this because it only allows a single statement for the then and else branches, and `{ ... }` is a statement. Therefore, you can chain its directly by having the else statement be an if statement.
When I was in university we had that peculiar professor for Quantum Mech. He would let you choose any question sheet and use books to consult. And after you say you are ready he would briefly look at your answers and will fry your brain with the questions till you are dead. Usually all my university exams were 4s and 5s out of 5. I got 3 on quantum mech and considered myself extremely happy. Drank myself to death after that. Many of the people would be just told go home, study and return some other time. Phew.

COVID is doing great damages to the young generations. We'll see the consequences of right wing politicans' disastrous public health policy in decades to come.
I don't think I am exaggerating the noticeable effects of i.v. ketamine. Patients given i.v. ketamine are advised not to operating an automobile hours after administration. This level of impairment would be noticeable to the patient and the staff administering the treatment.
uTorrent jumped the shark many many years ago. qBitTorrent is what you want probably since it's an open source uTorrent clone without the ads (alternatively Transmission if you want something really basic that just works).
Comparing a fixed property purchase price to a yearly estimated recurring cost isn't a direct comparison

Assuming a $700k unit has an estimated lifespan of 50 years. That's $14k/year, we could say $20k/year with a generous maintenance allowance over the life of the home.

So in this example that's $80k/yr remaining for food, utilities, care, etc.

I remember those and they were such a breath of fresh air. Just like coding interviews where you’re allowed to lookup docs, which is the case on the job
Some sort of combined hardware and software consortium that specializes in devices that are repairable, DRM-free, etc. is the only solution I can think of, and even then they'd have to fend off entryism from established players (like when Microsoft subverted standards bodies to get their very proprietary document standard declared as open and not proprietary).
I grew up near San Francisco and saw a lot of homelessness as well. You're right. Some degree of exposure helps kids build a realistic world view and how expansive the variety of human experience can be.
Oh yeah I didn't miss it, but I guess "technically" it is 2.50 euros, but yeah practically I would even argue it's 10euros :D

I'd advise you to move. You will have greater economic opportunities if you are collocated to the HQs of the highest paying tech companies. NYC was a disaster in the 80s but a change in government greatly enhanced the security and livability of the city for someone in your cohort. SF and the bay area in will most likely transition over time in these dimensions. I have a sense that the companies and funding opportunities will remain.

Why do you think they don't know this will be annoying but intend to do it anyway to shift revenue sources?

My personal opinion is:

Microsoft told us they see Windows 11 as the "last" version. From now on Windows is a service that pushes continuous updates. The OEM deals are still generating revenue but the strategy shift means no more selling retail upgrades.

It makes total sense that Microsoft would now prioritize adding new revenue sources. I would expect more "parterships", ads, telemetry/tracking, and so forth. The money is just too juicy and Windows is slowly transitioning to be a cost center instead of revenue center which makes the pressure to find revenue even higher. Plus with PC upgrade cycles getting longer and the overall PC market somewhat leveling off (days of 50% yoy growth are long gone) revenue was going to stagnate no matter what.

Microsoft employs a lot of smart people. They know users don't want any of this. The desire to find new revenue is a higher priority. Anyone not on-board with the "Windows client versions are now a 'marketing channel' and 'partnership opportunity'" will leave or find themselves reorg'd to "align business priorities".

Is writing some new feature going to move the needle after the OEMs fill the system up with spyware/adware? It isn't going to increase PC sales by 20% this year so it isn't going to generate more OEM license sales and zzzzzzz (look the VPs already fell asleep during your presentation).

Is fixing bugs going to get kudos, or just create more support tickets as your bug fix accidentally breaks some old garbage "business critical" software relying on the broken behavior? It sure isn't going to sell more copies of Windows since that isn't something MS does anymore.

But putting ads in Explorer and generating $50m in new revenue? Now that will get you a promotion and bonus!
Mine looks like a chest or robot cyclops, I like it.

> As we push toward computer science for all, the design of our languages should be based increasingly on evidence.

This is too broad a goal. Novices shouldn’t be required to learn expert languages, and experts shouldn’t be limited to using only novice-friendly languages. Because we who specialize will spend most of our careers as experts, it’s crucial that we still have clear, concise, powerful languages available even though they require more investment that wouldn’t pay off for everyone else.
If the student had performed the surgery, that would have at least counted for something.

OK, good. But yeah the high likelihood of returning to the stone age repeatedly makes it even more important for the magnetic field to sustain for as long as possible.
In the future carbon capture will be cheaper. By delaying the release of carbon after the maximum CO2 concentration it doesn't increase top temperature but instead just slows the recovery to the CO2 concentration our childrens children will decide they want.

Also temperature increase is roughly proportional to the integral of excess CO2 emission (actually more like a convolution with the life time curve of CO2 in the atmosphere) meaning delaying CO2 release means total peak excess energy will be lowered resulting in less worse ecosystem damage and maybe less feedback loops triggered.
For context, is Crystal City much more than an enormous mall/office building and a Metro stop? It's not great to have an accessibility failure, but that doesn't strike me as a place where it would make that much difference.

A world of centralized control and surveillance. A great world if you own it.
I appreciate CISO's that keep up with the technical side of things. They're hard to get b.s. past them.

The measured risk part is important. A place can look like a shitshow and still have all the right security controls. There are places that fire people for clicking on phishing links or say stuff like "we don't collect logs because it is a liability" (as in, get pwned is cheaper lol). Or an imbalanced/outdated/perimeter-centric mindset. I mention these because it comes from the top, doesn't matter if you hire the best hackers in the world, you're just burning money that way.
> Games give you a completely immersed experience

I haven't tried the Quest 2 yet, so I don't know how good it is, but to me, it's not "completely immersed" until you can interface directly with my brain to feed it false visual, auditory, smell, touch, etc. signals, as well as interpret signals I make to move around, which causes me to interact with the virtual world instead of the real world.

Anything else to me just feels kinda clunky. Certainly the stuff available now is way better than stuff from 20, 10, or even 5 years ago, but it's a far cry from complete immersion.
Yep, I can take the sha256sum over my all my project's (vendored) dependencies in 10ms using the command:

It's an interesting thing to read people complaining about their shitty Windows experience and yet continuing to use Windows in of changing their computer's OS.

Another thing is that people forget about software ownership.

You don't own your computer's OS, Microsoft does,and according its abusive terms of service that no one cares about, they can do whatever they want with their products, including show you ads or anything that disrupt your experience, because the OS is made to serve them, not you.
Come to think of it, no different than some gas stations already.
Reminds me of my attempts to make cheat sheets that I would use during exams. I would write out a small cheat sheet the night before I never needed to use those cheat sheets as I would always remember whatever I had written on them. After a few cases when I remembered the whole contents of those sheets, I would just use them as last minute revision aid and discard them before getting into the examination hall.
The usefulness in growing trees is not in their ability to put oil back in the ground. They're useful by themselves. Nobody is under the impression that planting trees, or any other single initiative, will fix our climate issues in isolation.
fine print was local* maximum, I guess.
That's far too easy to imagine.
That's a good point. It may simultaneously be true that globalism doesn't prevent irrational war to the degree that we had hoped, but it does still prevent it more than some other economic alternative.

(Personally, I think the best way to prevent war is non-corrupt democracies with little autocratic power concentration and a strong fair press. Most people don't want to go to war and kill others, so when you give the entire populace agency over what the military does, you get a lot less irrational wars.)
I pretty much grew up on Windows. I don't hate it or MS, but over time it was clear, their interests and mine were diverging.
