Ever since quitting stimulants I've been searching for something to make life as exciting as it previously was when I was on caffeine.

I have tried several nootropics, Tongkat Ali being the latest. These things definitely have effects, but the side effects were too great for me. I was able to get through the intense nausea, felt good for a few weeks and then was getting CRIPPLING anxiety whenever I'd take them.

I've just come to the conclusion that day to day life isn't really meant to be "exciting" and I've learned to live with it.

The last thing I want to do is become dependent on yet another thing to elevate my mood, and feel good. Would much rather focus on the external inputs and filter those to provide myself with the best mental state.

It is if you assume the car is a vintage box car from before the 80's where you might or might not have airbags at all. New cars are designed to crumble and deploy airbags to absorb that impact so that the squishy humans inside the car don't experience anything nearly that high. Nowadays the biggest risk is speeding, as it negates the advances in car safety.

Stability. The kernels contain tons of backported goodies and bug fixes. RHEL users dislike change. We use Debian where I work, and it's stable, but not as stable as RHEL. When it absolutely needs to be rock solid, RHEL. I've used Red Hat since 1998. Fedora for personal use. You'll find some people using Debian Stable for some important things, but with Red Hat paid support, you can get help with seriously intractable problems. With Debian, there is no paid support except for third parties. Loads of corporations like having a throat to choke when the SHTF.
Forgot to mention that tons of hosting companies using Red Hat/CentOS/variations of RHEL use cPanel. It doesn't run on anything else.

> Anything can lead to dependency. ANYTHING.

So, who cares, right? Withdrawal symptoms of sugar are nothing compared to opiates, yet it's a bigger epidemic than opiate addiction. But since it doesn't make your skin crawl and hallucinate, it doesn't matter?

Cannabis is quite benign in the grand scheme of things, but let's stop saying it's the cure to all problems and that it has no downsides. Like GP I have been through the marijuana addiction phase and it wasn't fun. I'm prone to get addicted to stuff, so that's on me, my quitting my 5 joints a day was almost as hard as quitting my pack a day smoking habit. The difference is that smoking didn't turn me into an idiot pot-head that burned away a big part of his teenage years, of which I can't remember much. Certainly nicotine didn't trigger my anxiety which almost turned into psychosis like THC did. Talking just about dependency and the physical withdrawal means ignoring a big part of what marijuana smoking actually does, something stoners really do not want to talk about.

There are, in fact laws against extramarital (and, for that matter, premarital) sex, though in the US those that remain in the books are unenforceable (though the line of Constitutional law making it so is under massive assault at the moment, so maybe not for long.)
They had no problem finding debaters for "Stay", but you'd argue that something external is needed to argue for "Leave"? That is essentially supporting the authors thesis, that political ideology motivates academic output and at this time the academy is overwhelmingly liberal.

The more sinister read on topic could be that there are professors who would argue "Leave" but recognize it would be career suicide to do so. For examples, see attacks on professors who are not adequately anti-racist[1]

I also want to cite Brian Leiter[2] who while I find his tone childish at times (calling Republicans repugnicans, imagine the blowback if a conservative professor used libtards[3]) but nevertheless he tends to be a staunch supporter of academic freedom

Yes, there's no way to tell that there was a clear quid pro quo. I would say that these employees could be fired for intervening on behalf of someone who says she had sex with them to get her account back, though. You can be "friends" with your boss at work but hr will want to know about it if a physical relationship starts because of conflicts of interest and an appearance of impropriety.

Friendship won't be treated like a bribe but sex definitely could be, especially if one party says it is.
and you could always get a second or third opinion just to make sure.
Many companies are conservative and want a "vendor" for support. Last time I saw RedHat being widely used was at a defense contractor and a state government agency. This was before Ubuntu was popular, in the late 2000's.

I never saw this "support" actually used. The benefits are more a CYA thing.

In crypto, where a bug can potentially be the downfall of your whole business, the balance between shipping quickly and shipping bug-free code is different than normal software development. Fields that have strict requirements for security would probably be good candidates for Rust jobs, but I don't know if Rust is stable enough to be attractive yet, and potential for supply-chain attacks might be a drawback. Low-level system code and embedded might be good targets, but these are probably even more conservative with their toolchain.

I'm not surprised Adderall took the top spot; as far as "wonder drugs" go, it basically checks all the boxes. Energy, weight loss, motivation, the whole thing all in one nice little package. I think the trap is that over time it doesn't work exactly like it did before, and if you take it every single day you can get burned out. I like to skip a day or two over the weekend, to help start the week out a bit more fresh, but to each their own.

It's not comforting to know that my prefered answer to this (adult diagnosed) ADHD problem puts me right next to the meth addicts without teeth, but it's a risk that has paid off massively for me.
To add, this must _just_ be adaptive cruise and not autosteer since autosteer (referred to as 'autopilot') explicitly won't drive more than 5 mph over the limit except on highways.

As someone who does both sysadmin work, and programming/modeling&simulation work, at a significant research nonprofit in the US...

RedHat is stable: Which has the benefit that it's stable, and the cost that it's always behind the times.

Security is deadly serious, and RedHat make it easy. STIGs are available for RHEL; they're also available for SuSE [very recently] and Ubuntu LTS releases, but we're heavily invested in RHEL infrastructure, training, etc, so switching to Canonical would be expensive and hard. A few years ago I earnestly looked at us coming up to speed on Ubuntu, but with Canonical's recent behaviour around packaging I'm kind of glad we didn't.

We rolled with CentOS in a few places for a while [all the benefits of the training and experience], but the recent changes in that make it useless for our needs.

I've been around for long enough that I remember when Linux sucked; I started using it around 1997. Nowadays, I find that all modern distros are in the same ballpark of "pretty much work pretty much all the time"; so while I don't love RHEL, it's been a safe stable choice and doesn't bite me in the ass.

I think this was linked on HN the other day, and it basically covers anyone using RHEL: https://boringtechnology.club/
I think the reason is that actually it wasn't meant to be germany-wide. The initial idea was 9€ per public transport network, but they quickly figured out that this will lead to many problems, as some areas have huge networks, others have many small networks and this would be one really complicated. But by then the 9€ message was out of the box and making it Germany-wide on a single ticket was the only way forward.

Consequence of late night negotiations on top level of the federal government, without involving respective experts from states, who are running public transport. ("Wait, we're subsidizing fuel, so we should subsidize public transport as well! Any quick idea?")
> She didn't want her Instagram back because she's addicted to insta as a user. She wanted it back because her social media presence is part of the business she runs.

Are you sure there is a clear-cut line between the two? Which was she first, a sex worker or a habitual social media user? If she was first a social media addict, then it seems conceivable that she found this line of work because it was adjacent to social media, a straight forward way to turn her social media addiction into a job.

This was 2 years ago, with no indication of what software version the car was running. The fact that current versions of autopilot would now slow down when exiting a freeway to help prevent accidents caused by careless drivers is a testament to Tesla's approach to development and how it will save lives
I think there is a relatively easy solution, but it's hard to roll out today. Just as cell phones interruptively broadcast Amber Alerts, car radios should interruptively broadcast emergency vehicle sirens. There should still be an audible siren for pedestrians, but it could be much quieter.

The trick is keeping the broadcast tight, without giving governments the ability to passively track the movements of all vehicles.

If you increase the burden of getting a license you don't simultaneously invalidate all existing licenses at once obviously you focus on new licenses and renewals over many years.

It is impossible to get insurance, plates, tabs, park your car in your apartments lot without proper licensing.

Everyone eventually messes up and gets pulled over or gets in an accident and then you are basically going to jail.

In theory your cousin can buy and register your car but if you kill someone he will be legally and monetarily responsible.

Logically it would have to be fantastically burdensome to convince many people to drive without licenses.

It is silly to both pretend we absolutely must impliment a law either without the slightest bit of sense or not at all and presuppose that everyone is going to ignore the law when clearly this is actually fairly hard to do.

It's remarkable that a stablecoin which was able to mostly maintain the peg for years at a time now needs to redefine what being pegged means, and that this state of affairs has continued for more than a week. That's why I mentioned it.
There are different kinds of "work" and generalizing to one set schedule isn't going to work for everyone.

A retail clerk can likely do a 10 hour shift with little to no loss of productivity in the later hours - and some jobs basically just need a human there to monitor the process - those likely would do well on 4/10 shifts.

But other kinds of work can't get much beyond six hours a day anyway, in which case spreading it out may make sense.

But there's also a weird "fairness" aspect - even if everyone would be better off with varying schedules, people would think it "unfair" - and it's visible. If Sally gets paid half what you do, you never know. But if she leaves after 4 hours each day, you start to feel annoyed.
As someone who lives in the south but has done a lot of traveling both inside and outside of the US, rednecks (or redneck-equivalents) are absolutely everywhere.

Eh, that just comes down to the arbitrary definition of how much of a discount you consider "losing the peg".

Sidestepping the definitional issue, I certainly worry when a pegged asset trades at a persistent discount, even a small one, when it didn't before. A stablecoin should generally trade at a premium just as often as it trades at a discount. When one goes long periods without ever being above, that is a strong signal. And when everyone panics, that's exactly when it's too late to get out. You have to beat the rush.

Remember, even up until the morning of May 9th, the day of the real TerraUSD depeg, people made that exact objection. "Oh come, on being 0.1% off is normal for stablecoin." Indeed it is -- but not in a persistent fashion!

Disclaimer: I closed out my Tether longs last week.
I think you can hire people who know the market in their bones from hard-fought experience, but you could also contract out some user experience researchers to shadow these people and tell you everything you need to fix. I have to imagine a healthcare worker turned PM has to be rare and expensive that they cost more than contracting out research. The reason both don’t happen is probably that they are expensive to do (and expensive to execute on the information you find).

I don’t have any knowledge of the healthcare software market, but my guess is that being easier to use for the rank and file probably isn’t as big a differentiator to the administrators purchasing the software as costs are. This is pretty common when you have software that is purchased by administrators for others, especially highly regulated software.
