Second hand smoke is not how most smokers are made for _any_ drug. Generally that's peer pressure, but I see how those could be mixed up (being around smokers).
How can the 99% confidence interval for time in the first example be 7.391 +- 0.26? Most of the values listed lie outside of that.

I got a mean of 7.395 and a sigma of 0.533 (this is without hte DoF adjustment because these are guessed from the histogram). 2.576 * sigma is the 99% confidence interval if we assume a normal distribution. I.e. 1.373.

In any case we'd also have to consider that we estimated the sigma from the distribution, so we'd have to do an upward correction here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(statistics....
One overgeneralization I've become allergic towards is the Girardian theory of mimetic desire applied to everything.

To me, there are internally and externally generated desires, and most of the external ones really are mimetic. But internal desires really exist almost anyone, yet for most people they can only bubble up when all is quiet and we're alone with out thoughts. We're so hyperstimulated that there is no space for those original desires to germinate, and that same phenomenon can happen not only for people scrolling Instagram, but also for those creating content.

It's probably the same mental process through which a group becomes often the opposite of their enemy, even though both extremes are absurd.
You didn't mention where. I am curious about that as well as it sounds unlikely in any major city. In a small town perhaps.
Being too high can be really uncomfortable for a lot of people. Some strains produce more unpleasant side effects than others, as well (although people will often react very differently to the same thing, of course). I didn't believe there was any such thing as weed I wouldn't like before I gained legal access. Now I know better.

Perhaps there's been resistance to talking about this much because it's a new freedom and consumers are afraid too much criticism could lead to that freedom being yanked back away. However, I have noticed more conversation about finding the right level of CBD... so I think your instinct may not be far off.

>then it would be no great loss for me

So far all the responses to me have revolved around "well I don't care about it, so ban it"

Not a great argument. There is plenty of stuff you no doubt enjoy (like your hobby forums) that I don't care about. Should I advocate for banning them?
When I was young and stupid, I did this. Suddenly felt some tingling sensation in my fingers, threw the leads away and jumped back. Most certainly saved my life and drilled in my head how dangerous it is.
Still get a sinking feeling in my stomach whenever I am at some switching station below the 380KV leads, remembering that day. Especially after knowing people who got into 120KV, and what happened to them...

Electricity is dangerous. In every form. Period. Keep your fingers away from it when you don't know what you do. Household appliances can not only kill you on the mains side. Microwave transformers, flyback circuits, burner igniters, HV Car Ignition Systems...
My teenage son knocked on our bedroom door last night after we'd all gone to bed. He was crying and told us his cousin had just texted him the news, and then he watched the video. We watched it again together. I cried and hugged him and we talked about it a little bit.

My kids were so isolated during covid lockdown, we were getting really worried for their mental state. They weren't seeing other kids their age, they felt like they had no friends, and there was one point when it seemed like they even stopped missing other people altogether.

But my son, especially, was deep into Minecraft Youtube at the time, and I could tell that this cast of creators was really important to him. It often felt like he was on a call with his fun and hilarious buddies, just on mute.

I think Technoblade, and other creators like him, helped get my son through the past couple years. I'm so grateful to him for that.
Don't you have empathy for poor creators like the executive branch of the US federal government though? The dislike button was making things rough for them.
That could be the an explanation for only having high potency weed in areas where it's prohibited, but it's equally available here in Canada where it's legal. I think people just like it.
I'm not trying to be snarky, and while I largely agree with you, I feel like I'm missing something. Are you saying that the only time that it is 'fit to print' something about this topic is when we have arrived at the conclusion, and are ready to present objective facts?

Or, perhaps we shouldn't print speculation about interesting topics unless we have the answers to the questions being discussed?

Or, print should be reserved objective facts?

I agree that hyperbole like "scary" are confusing to many people. But in this case, I think the scientist is appealing to slang in an effort to communicate with non-scientists.
Most pedestrian areas I know (and I've lived in some) are also accessible to at least light cargo trucks. I've also seen semi trucks in larger streets, and (large) cargo bikes in narrow ones.

In my experience, shops and businesses tend to get deliveries early in the morning, when the streets are nearly empty. On the contrary, delivery vehicles tend to get exempted from "anti-car" rules, or regulated to some designated time slots.
> Most alcoholic beverages are made through some sort of distillation process, so I'm not sure what difference you're alluding to here.

Most alcoholic beverages (beers, wines) are not distilled - distillation is typically only used to take a drink above the 20-30% ABV mark (spirit / liquor).

It’s not unrestricted. For example, drinking age is not federally set for the states.

But states that don’t set their drinking age to 21 lose 8% of their highway funding.

By now, every state is in compliance, but some held out for years, and they could decide to change it in the future and forfeit the money.
The "autofree" memory management [1] seems quite interesting, and a very cool mixture between garbage collection with static memory management. Has been there been any seminar / conference talk held on this topic related to the pros / cons of this approach vs a pure GC memory management strategy, since it seems like it could be used in _almost_ all modern GC languages.

You are absolutely right that this all is a huge pain in the ass. GitHub, and later Microsoft, played their cards well. The product both works well, and also creates such a moat of vendor lock-in that it won't make sense to leave.

There was a thread on HN some time ago discussing how different growth stages needed different people in the hot seat, and the fate of a company was often decided by the founder's willingness to cede control to someone with the right skills and experience. I think it came up in the context of VCs wanting to bring in CEOs for this purpose and the pushback they encountered.
What do you think of this article? https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/The-Su...

"""The Supreme Court decision ignored and damaged long-standing Constitutional principles designed to limit the power of the judiciary. Courts are not allowed to just issue pronouncements of what they think the law should be. They can only act to resolve a real controversy between adverse parties and enforce the will of Congress. Instead, the court changed a lawfully enacted statute without having any final or even proposed regulation before it. There is no “case or controversy” here, which for 200 years has been a rock-solid prerequisite for judicial action. Hence, the opinion violates the long-standing separation of powers principle, which until now, has restrained the judiciary from ideological adventuring."""

It appears the court has done exactly what you said they cannot. If you disagree then I would ask: What case was brought before the court before they made this ruling?
>"This is true" and "Let us imagine that this is true" are radically, radically different positions.

I suspect it's a reference to the shift in preference for hard liquor over beer that happened in the US as a result of prohibition, liquor being easier to smuggle due to lower volumes. That preference persisted for some decades after prohibition ended, but arguably has turned around by now.
Maybe it is the confidence interval on the estimate of the mean, not the 99% interval of the whole distribution

Update: yeah, the next paragraph describes the uncertainty of the estimate of the mean, which is not the same as the spread of the distribution discussed in the initial motivation
There is a massive YouTube and Instagram industry of outright faking craft and cooking tips. They're not just bad or a stretch, they're intentionally fabricated, made at scale by TheSoul Publishing with 550 employees. That's because making cool things looking surprisingly easy goes viral way better than actual reality-grounded instructions, and for the adtech giants nothing matters except the number of clicks.

Before people realize that they can't really make a 3-layer cake in a toaster, the fakers already cash in on the views. Usually the risk of these faked craft hacks is just cut fingers and kitchen fires, but the "just grab 2000V, it's so easy!" videos take it to another level of lethality.

> Most alcoholic beverages are made through some sort of distillation process

How do you define “most”? - but I’m pretty sure non-distilled/non-fortified alcoholic beverages (wine/beer/etc) make up more of the alcoholic beverage market (whether in litres or dollars) than distilled/fortified beverages. I think they also are a lot more if you were to count SKUs (number of varieties of non-fortified wines/beers/etc > spirits/liqueurs/fortified wines/etc)

Countries with loads of tourists have loads of trouble with them. Those problems are amplified when you’re flooded with college kids who are away from home for the first time and getting high for only the first or second time of their life.

Are there plans for docs to be updated? The 0.3 release notes claim:

> Option and Result are now separate types: ?Foo and !Foo respectively. Old code will continue working for 1 year and will result in a warning/hint.

Yet, doc/docs.md still states:

> V combines Option and Result into one type, so you don't need to decide which one to use.

Is there an up-to-date doc, or how does one find out more about these types? I found parts of the RFC overhauling the error handling [0] pretty bizarre, so I'm interested to see how the implementation turned out.

Yeah I never cared much for weed when it was whatever my college friends were buying in the early 2000s, it made me feel edgy and uncomfortable. I was curious when it started to become legal in the US and realized it was actually just too strong for me back then.

A small amount of some low THC, high CBD product is pleasant without being intoxicating, and so much easier to come by with everything being tested and labelled.

To me it’s comparable to the single after-work beer I have long enjoyed, vs the high grade stuff being more like… an after-work 5 shots of vodka.
Food and your personal desire to cook and eat it is so so subjective that the idea that anyone can try and say you are doing something wrong that you have done before and enjoy...well it's silly.

The entire industry around cooking and especially the glorification of shows like hells kitchen is to the detriment of food everywhere. You might as well try to critique how someone hugs their wife.

This is a horrible "article". For starters, it reads like an advertisement in many places and like a drunk person at a bar in other places:

"You don't really care about your employees if you aren't giving them new laptops every two years. You know - their productivity will suck. And who doesn't want new laptops? Think of their morale!"

What are the technical reasons?

Security: bullshit. If a vendor stops supporting drivers for the hardware, particularly within the first three or four years, STOP USING THAT VENDOR. If security is improved because the new laptop has a new version of whatever OS is on that, that's a you problem, not a laptop problem.

Are there ANY other technical reasons? I can't find any.

"Research" from Intel? Of course Intel is going to tell you to send two year old laptops to landfills because they want more money.

This article is a waste of time.
If it doesn't identify suspects then how do they know this information?

First of all... Hhhhh I like that!

Yes I agree that the socialists lift themself way higher that they should. I think the age of their politics and voters
is an effect of inheritance over decades. But it's still not a thing only the socialists have. The right wing sort of has
the same. Specially the christians. I wouldn't even say it's a very evil thing. There are young people that are interested
in politics, that's good and important. But it's by far not the most of them. I agree that it's not very smart to pretend
to be a youngster or doing politics for the future generations while not even asking them what they want and need or stepping
aside to let them fix their problems on their own.

And honestly Scholz is very suspect and unsympathetic to me. He seemed wrong when he was major of hamburg and still I don't
trust him a dime. He literally is the result of being the least garbage. At least in what the public can see.
But still I don't see how the others are much different from fooling the people. The christians are corrupt, afd is a nazi
party based on denial. The "democrats" only care about their own wealth. Green has internal issues with their concurring members
and the deep red just burried themselves over the last years and is in huge inner conflicts as well.

None of them has the motivation or will to change. It's just about getting the votes to talk bad about others and don't change
a shit. Would be good to do a 80% flush. Get new and young politicians in the parliament and keep a fifth of the old ones to
show the new ones around and explain how some stuff works.

The trouble is that skunk is now prevalent and much, much more powerful than standard weed or hash - and the stronger it is, the more likely that it will trigger serious mental health problems like schizophrenia in a percentage of users. Also, setting aside the acute and dramatic consequences, take a walk around pretty much any reasonably sized town in the UK and before long you'll smell the characteristic smell of skunk-type weed. No matter how lenient one is the question has to be asked: is it really healthy for a society to have a good proportion of its citizens in a permanent semi-baked state? I certainly would prefer the doctor, driver, pilot or teacher for my children that does not smoke skunk, given the choice, and all else being equal.
Just the other day youtube suggested me this cutsie "what to do with old microwaves" video that just had the corporate jingle music over a video of a guy building various things out of microwave transformers without any kind of narration or warning of the danger.

Considering people are actually dying trying these microwave tricks, this is no longer a theoretical concern.

While the C standard does say that integer promotion happens, if the result is being cast back to char again, a C compiler will see that it doesn't need to operate on 16 bits and is allowed to optimize the result back to 8 bit operations. See for example: https://godbolt.org/z/zM8reeqrc

That is a very creative excuse but it cannot explain why this video which described the dangers of the practice and did not explain in detail how to go about doing. It would be removed when none of the videos that demonstrate how to do this were taken down.

I think a much more plausible explanation is that YouTube simply does not have an effective mechanism for deciding what videos to take down and which ones to leave up.
where your face recently was.
Not just fabricated for the views, but reactions too. For each debunking video, some will follow the actual videos to see how bad they are. But the viewer intention doesn't matter - clicks are clicks.
Thats an extremely negative view of people's ability. There's a point where you have to realize you can't protect people from themselves. A video that simply provides knowledge in an accessible way without preaching and condescension does far more than an outright ban that gives the viewer no information.
> "European countries that have a much bigger problem with illegal cannabis use, like France, are watching very closely what Germany is doing at the moment."

The criminal activities and gang wars linked to cannabis trafficking in France are huge. It's a shame that France never took action either on legalisation or on crime...

I am not sure that whatever Germany does will have much impact in France, though.

I suppose as long as we are comparing areas, my local grocery (Lucerne is a Safeway store brand). If you get the same size of each, do the prices come more inline? I'm used to paying fairly close to the same price regardless of packaging if it's the same size from the same brand. But of course regional and national influences, along with consumer expectations, surely play a part in the pricing.
