This as well -- fairly damning evidence of failures in design and/or manufacturing. Fortunate that the extemporaneous round of belated testing happened over friendly territory!
I read somewhere that back in the 1970s divorce was common on upper class women, but rare among lower class women.

Now it’s the reverse.
Why psilocybin and not LSD?
What I don't think is helpful about this framing is the absolute black and white dichotomy between social control and libertarian individualism, with the latter implied to be praiseworthy. It is a normal part of civilized life to persuade, nudge, encourage, and even shame your fellows away from evil and toward good. In fact, it's arguably the atomization and uprooting of individuals in modernity that leaves them susceptible to perverted versions of communnal life, whether literal cults or social media mobs.
This bill has nothing to do with free speech.

Disney--a massive two-faced out-of-state for-profit corporation that is silent on China's abuse of Uygur populations in Xinjiang--had special privileges that only local governments are usually afforded. This bill eliminates the special privileges of this and other similar districts.

This has been a long standing issue that many have wanted resolved. Disney has been known to abuse their privileges and avoid a massive amount of taxes they otherwise would have owed.

If it weren't for Disney advocating against the bill that bans sex-related teaching for K-3rd grade, there might not have been the political will to make this happen. But Disney exercised their free speech rights. And Floridians, through their elected politicians, eliminated an unfair business advantage of a massive out-of-state for-profit corporation. Democracy at work!
Having grown up in a rural area, I assure you that any unions or health coverage is a strictly urban phenomenon. And $80k isn't all that great of a top-end, for people living in major cities with their cost of living.
I lived in Korea with my wife and while we were looking for work, she was told in several interviews that they didn’t want to hire her because she was married and they assumed she would have a child and stop working.

I don’t know where you are getting the idea that that isn’t the norm in those countries.
And what would you suggest we do? Murder every Russian man and rape every Russian woman as collective retribution? Besides, how many Ukrainians were in the Red Army that invaded Finland in 1939? And what was the nationality of the man who ordered that invasion? By your logic, Russians, Ukrainians, and Georgians are all your enemies, so why take a side when they are fighting between themselves?

My moral stance here is to remember the distinction between a people and a regime. It’s the opposite of what the “woke” do; in fact, many of the “woke” wholeheartedly agree with you.
The US isn't different for 'regular' poor people. Two years of community college to be a nurse and you're good to go with a job in any city.

Except in the US there are enclaves of destitute poverty, generational poverty, extreme levels of incarceration, job prohibitions for low-level convicts (which can be 1/2 the men in some areas), high crime, schools with low graduation rates, weak access to things like dental care, poor transit options for medical care, pollution, insufficient care for the elderly, lack of mental health care, opioid addiction, children with high rates of lead poisoning, etc. Those people have the deck stacked against them.

The great thing about science is that it can criticize itself, and later even completely change it's position.

It's why science is never permanently 'settled', but only settled for the point in time, given the information available.

It's probably best to always leave some room for discussion.
People are realizing that social media is draining, predatory, and entirely superfluous.

Of course there are employees here of social media corporations who would want to stem the tide of this mass exodus, but it's useless. Social media corporations have overstepped their boundaries and become a net negative on human society.

Deleting your social media accounts results in an immediate improvement of quality of life and mental wellbeing. These sites are intentionally designed with predatory psychological mechanisms, they are designed by hackers like ourselves, but the hackers who see "social engineering" as a perfectly ethical practice and not simply psychological manipulation.

These services are designed to be addictive, full stop. Addiction is not healthy, and neither is social media. Maybe this will bring SV back to its roots, real technological progress for the nation and not desperate bids for data mining based on cheap psychological tricks.

People are growing sickened of the endless scrolls of psychological disturbing viral content combined with the false positivity of human interest stories. It is deepening social divisions, racial conflicts, political partisanship, and general misery. We don't need social media, what we need is real social connections in an increasingly isolated society, and social media stands in the way of this.

Originally a short story by Stephen King: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quitters,_Inc.
Okay, I think I sorta understand it, but I still wonder about how they will going to pay their bills. i.e, if they have their criteria on what is acceptable pay, won't the natural course of things is to quit on the unacceptable job and just find a better paying jobs, which means business as usual and wonder why there needs to be an article written on the first place. I was under the impression that the article seem to imply that Gen Z don't have the capability of choosing good jobs because of lack of good job market or marketable skills etc, and those Gen Z decided to just quit it altogether, which made me to ask the question on how they are going to pay the bills.

I am a middle millennial, but I think because of my upbringing (not in the USA), I am still fine with the bootstraps narrative, but at the same time also acknowledge that I cannot get a house with an entry level job (I have some other comments in this same thread that reflect this thinking), therefore I do need to study and get a better paying job. I am actually confused on how people were able to get a house with an entry level job at all.

My story is I came from outside of USA, got a green card, worked low paying jobs such as deli, laundry, dry clean, sushi, coffee, and then save money and got into a programming bootcamp, and then worked part time as SWE, then went to get a CS degree at a local public college. Currently I don't have any debt and earn L4 FAANG level salary. I always wondered that my fellow friends graduated from expensive Ivy Leagues, still have student debt and still not making more than me. I don't question the necessity of education but I do question the worth of expensive educations that my friends went through. I didn't go to montessori schools like them or was raised with privileges, but in the end (as of today) I still stand to them as equal (if not more) socio-economically, and I came from a 3rd world country.

So, my natural response to the Gen Zs would be like, "Yes I agree, don't work for $7.25. But why go to expensive college and get 6 figure debts, why not go to a trade school? Doing what you love is nice, but market forces still exist, and no amount of regulations can change that. People buy what they need first. We can't force people to spend money on art yet, when they need engineering first"

What do you think?
The shadowy cabal of liberal professors (all lefties are liberals now, progressive stack can not be violated) was quite open about their plans for the future. Interestingly they work hand in hand with billionaires. Look how academics fawn over Bill Gates.
> Also for chromebooks and crapbook worth $200-$300, how is that rare person going to charge for his time?

I think you stumbled across the problem: troubleshooting and repairing the device will probably cost $200. If the device is under warranty, it's easier to send it back. If it's not, it's more cost effective to replace it.

The Old School Renaissance, Old School Revival,[1] or OSR, is a trend in tabletop role-playing games which draws inspiration from the earliest days of tabletop RPGs in the 1970s, especially Dungeons & Dragons.[2]

I’m glad it’s not just me — I also have issues with iCloud Private Relay and DDG. I’m using AdGuard, so this DDG problem is not specific to 1Blocker (nor to AdGuard, which I was wondering about). I’ve had the exact same problem across 3 different ISPs, as well; and I’ve recently switched from running my own local DNS cache to using NextDNS, yet the issue persists.

The problem only occurs on macOS. My iOS devices use the same AdGuard settings, and the same DNS, but iCloud Private Relay is completely reliable on that platform.

(The macOS Safari hanging issue has recently begun to affect GitHub in addition to DDG, which is unfortunate.)
Lots of things might be thought of as "distasteful", but that doesn't mean one can't be motivated to do it. You might not like exercising, but there are still ways to be motivated to do so.

Saying that it's not a matter of motivation means what? We don't have devs treat documentation as important and give up? No, like other tasks that devs do, we set up a culture of positive feedback (it's not always money) for caring about docs.
> If the employer is a good one, they want the contract to be fair, and if the contract is unfair it's probably by accident.

This definitely sounds about right -- I'm pretty sure most places I worked and most other Y Combinator companies in my batch just took the standard forms from somewhere (e.g., the Orrick forms library) and used them, without thinking too much about the terms. [1]

If there's something in the terms that actually seem objectionable, it's likely the hiring manager, recruiter, and other people in your recruiting process have never thought about it either. By pointing it out, you're often educating them too on what the offer letter says, and providing valuable feedback for the recruiting process.

Ask HN: Pax 3 fails every 2 years
Six years ago I bought two Pax 3s, a month apart. Fairly expensive but 10-year warranty so ok. Every two years, they fail, like clockwork - suddenly start flashing blue diagonal lights and power off. Anyone else have this experience? Am I doing something to cause this?

Thanks in advance!
I tend to think any imperfections are a result of negative socio-cultural (parenting) impacts, although that can of course be driven by one whack-a-doodle relative (biology as the pebble and socio-cultural as the ripples.)

In my experience families that are dirt-poor but land-rich tend to have successful offspring. Maybe that sense of place contributes to the needed stability for children to do well as adults.
I mean it sucks that this happened, but kudos to the writer, because this article is hilarious.

Perhaps I’m mistaken, but I can see from the paper that it was funded by Cancer Research UK.

A large charity that is funded by lots of people. Cancer Research UK has a policy of “expecting” and “encouraging” such papers are published openly:

https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/funding-for-researchers/app...

Given that it is a charity I’m quite aghast that open publishing wasn’t mandated.
The research looks interesting, but given it’s funded by a charity with people opting in to share their DNA data for the greater good it just seems wrong.
>Let's look at a typical scenario. You graduate from university with 100k in student loans.

If cooking onions is not downtime, then it absolutely is an effective rebuttal to the general point of "I chop things [only] during downtime, for example when cooking onions".

"I only tell the truth, for example when lying" is irrecoverably self-invalidating. There is no second example that could nullify its effects. The argument is made invalid by that example specifically. (Not to mention, it calls into question the claimant's understanding of what it means to tell the truth.)

You have misidentified the fallacy here.

We would do better to grow Acacia acuminata, Raspberry Jam Tree, in SoCal. It grows fast, and smells like raspberry jam when sawed. Australia has millions of century-old A. acu. fenceposts, 'cause they last forever. Carbon capture! The wood (like most acacia) is excellent for furniture.

What?! The labor market has been so strong over the past decade that economists started to wonder if previous paradigms no longer apply (i.e. Phillips curve).
I discovered a few years ago that thanks to this kind of "experience", forced hypothermia is now used to prevent brain damage to new borns who suffered from loss of oxygen during delivery.

Our second son was (initially, thankfully) stillborn after a complicated delivery, yet the medical team managed to revive him and immediately put him in hypothermia (to 34° C), surrounding his head with some apparel containing essentially ice. Fast forward the 5 most painful days of my life, doctors warmed him back very slowly. He is now 4, and showing completely "normal" (in the statistical sense of the term) development.

Indeed, brain damage is not immediate in case of oxygen loss. It happens in phases. I am no expert, but I understood that most damage happen not immediately, and happen even if oxygen has been restored. Slowing down the body through hypothermia, seems to avoid the brain to "collapse".

Discussing with the head of the department (for a mandatory "retrospective"), he explained me that this technique had been devised after seeing that people who drowned in very cold water could be revived with less "impact" on their capacities than others. He also explained me that the technique was not always successful, but was the only "treatment" that had shown actual improvement of recovery chances in this kind of cases.

PWB Electronics shows that even if you believe some audiophile gear might actually "work" the enthusiasts can't tell the difference and will buy nonsense that doesn't do anything.

That's important here, whether you think clicky keyboards are good is a matter of personal preference. Maybe you like how vinyl sounds. Maybe you prefer the wow and flutter of a cheap mono tape player from 2015 over the notionally far better 1982 Sony WM-D6. But whether there is even a perceptible difference is something we can actually measure and of course treatments like the "Quantum Clip" do not make a difference.

Maybe Peter Belt was delusional, and maybe he was a scammer, and maybe somewhere in between, but his products can't work yet audiophiles bought them anyway.

> This is almost superhuman

And yet as I wrote this, I had several specific people in mind, who do literally all the things I listed: they design, they code, they help organize the project, they reach out to other teams, etc. I didn't say they do all those things every day! :-) Their productivity stands out clearly above that of most of their peers. It's not just me that notices -- I've get slacks from other people on how these folks kick ass. And I've seen this at every company I've worked at. There are the top engineers who deliver the most features and functionality, at the highest quality standards, and done quickly... and then the rest of the team.

> Expecting people to read your mind and wondering why are 'bewildered' is total failure of management.

Of course. Goes without saying. Helping people increase their productivity --through clear communication-- is one of the main jobs of an eng manager.

> Your explanation for why people arent performing to your expectations seems to be that they are lazy or stupid or both. I really pray i don't work for someone like this.

I know my statement may offend egos, but again: any manager will tell you that the productivity of engineers --by any metric-- is very unevenly distributed. It's not because of laziness or stupidity. Talent and skills are simply not evenly distributed. Sucks, but that's just how it is.

And then during performance-review season, promotions will go to those engineers who are performing clearly better than their job-level peers.
I very strongly disagree with your second paragraph. All the laws I know of in Germany that had trouble with the constitutional court were highly dubious. I think a law overturned by the constitutional court should be the end of a ploticians career or at least be the first strike. It's a complete failure to uphold the very thing they are sworn into an it's a complete failure in their own profession.

I can see that there might be complicated legal issues were my opinion would be wrong, but the stuff I know about (data retention laws and fission fuel tax) were absolutely abhorrent displays of incompetence and disrespect of the constitution.
So, it's a bug and counter-party are testers?

How is this not the a different flavor of the same "fantasy land"? Even if the majority were non-fiction, there's a difference between acquiring skills and acquiring trivia [1]; pop non-fiction is not all that deep.

Japan might let the 2.5% of its workforce that is foreign stay indefinitely? That doesn't sound very dire to me.

Of course it's very popular to conflate "economy will collapse without immigration" with "GDP growth will be 0-2% instead of 2-4%". Then say the economy is "stagnating" instead of "stable", and you're done.
The Nix language's main concern is handling large scale configuration. General purpose programming and scripting is completely out of scope.

The Nixpkgs repository has over 80,000 packages [1] contained in a single key-value store. The design of the Nix language not only makes this sustainable, but even compelling. For one thing, Nix package descriptions are composable and easy to manipulate programmatically. It's common practice to create new packages on the fly out of existing package definitions, and it's what the Nix language is particularly good at. Things like this add a lot of complex inter-dependencies within the Nixpkgs code base, and it still manages to be comprehensible.

The same approach isn't practical with general purpose imperative programming languages. A quick glance at Nixpkgs repository reveals that it contains over 2.4 million lines of Nix code. Imagine that much Java/Python code manipulating a single global mutable data structure. It can only result in a nightmare.

Additionally, the notion that the Nix is Haskell and is therefore incomprehensible is an often repeated meme without any backing details and needs to stop. If any language is similar to Nix, it's Jsonnet. But I haven't seen a single person criticizing Jsonnet [2] for being Haskell. If you can understand JSON and have no problem writing functions for any common language, then there really should be no problem learning the Nix language.

Back in the 1950s and 60s my dad was a parachute training instructor for the RAF. As well as teach others how to safely jump out of planes, he also basically did QA for ejector seats.

His service ended when one such seat really wasn’t ready for humans. It totally fucked his back up — he didn’t become wheelchair bound, but was told to never lift anything heavier than a cup of tea for the rest of his life. Registered disabled from his mid-30s. Ejector seats were, and I assume still are, no joke.
The focus of recent research in to psychedelics has been on psilocybin rather than LSD because, as one researcher joked, politicians don't know how to spell psilocybin.

LSD still has some scary connotations towards some of the older generation based on the sensationalism and scare-mongering of the 60's and 70's, while most people didn't know about psilocybin until researchers started reporting positive things about it in the last decade or so.

There have been some studies that showed that even experienced psychedelic users can't tell the difference between the major classic psychedelics, so there might be much actual difference between LSD and psilocybin in the last analysis... though more research is definitely needed.

Still, if any classic psychedelic is legalized in the US, the first one will probably be psilocybin.. and research will continue to focus mostly on it, for the above mentioned reasons.
