email, at least, you can fully implement your own antispam solution in whatever way you want

at one extreme, you can just point the mx records for your domain at office365 or gsuite or similar and let them handle it

at the other extreme, you can point the mx records at your own mailserver you admin yourself and do absolutely anything you want with the incoming smtp mail flow for antispam measures, sorting, filtering, categorization, risk analysis.

the ordinary person even if they work for a telecom cannot implement their own phone number at one of the most fundamental levels of the pstn, because they don't run their own ss7 switch.

if you control your own DID and interface with it from a sip trunk to a trusted provider, running your own voip system, you can do a lot with custom routing/antispam measures on incoming call flow, but nowhere near to the extent that you can with email.
Interesting, I'm curious since you're in the industry, why do you think medical tourism has never taken off in a big way in the U.S.? I feel like I saw more people willing to go to Poland or Ukraine for things like dental work when I lived in Europe than people in the U.S. willing to go to Mexico or some other destination.
I love trolling these scammers by being the right number they never expected. One time I had one looking for a price list on precious materials. I sent them prices for Adamantium, Tiberium, and Xen crystal. The confusion was fantastic.

I used to think classical musical instruments were the epitome of design because they evolved to their function over hundreds of years.

But then I started trying to learn to play one and began reading about the problems with physical injury that professional musicians persistently face. I realized musical instruments were full of design compromises like everything else.
I live in Canada where there is legal weed, and even some of the legal cannabis makes you sick because it’s grown with chemicals and not flushed or it’s contaminated with powdered mildew or other shit. And it’s able to pass what little QC there is, and it makes me sick.

So I buy from people that have been doing it for decades and smoke their own stuff as QC.

If it’s too strong smoke less, but clean cannabis is the solution for that.
Spammers contribute to user/engagement numbers and are unlikely to drive away real users because they already have a monopoly, therefore Facebook benefits from them.

I'm one of those series veterans who was really put off by Civ VI's design choices. I tried to get into it, and just couldn't. I've heard criticism that the aesthetics should not matter and that getting hung up on such a thing was immature. However, I just could not get past the dissonance of the cartoony style and how busy the UI was. Put simply, I found the game to be ugly.
I was privy to a conversation a couple years ago that got out of control, shortly after our peacekeeper left the team, and I was feeling a little too much in agreement with one of the participants A to step in and shut it down even though he was winding B up something fierce.

The apex of the argument came down to documentation quality, and at first I thought this conversation was over and A won a bunch of points. I forgot about it for almost a year and then it came back into my brain, moved into the upstairs room, and has been trying not to pay rent ever since. And this is what is playing in a loop in my head:

What if your documentation isn't shit because you are bad at explaining things.
What if your documentation is shit because you're bad at writing code that can be explained?

I was really excited about this thread until I read your reply. And now all I can think is 'why is their documentation bad?' prejudging it before even looking at it.
The thing is, We don’t have fewer options. We’re just exploding over with talking heads telling us we can or can’t do something.
I don’t think the phrase “real vegan cheese” is linguistically clear in any way. Is the “real” about the “vegan” part, the “cheese” part, or the “vegan cheese” part? I.e. “real dog food” has nothing to do with the realness of the dogs, it’s about the “food”. But then in the sentence “real prada bag” the “real” is about the “prada” portion not about the “bag” portion. “Real” can modify either the modifier or the noun.

“Really” makes the sentence more clear, because it adds emphasis to the “vegan” modifier on “cheese” - it wouldn’t apply to the “cheese” part directly. I.e. in the sentence “really big cheese” the “really” is clearly adding emphasis to the “big”.

Libertarians ret-conned Adam Smith's definition of "free market" to mean "complete absence of regulation". And they use this appeal to authority (as well as the naturalistic inevitabilism that originates in evo-psych) as a cudgel to push for the permission of exploitative practices. We are becoming more and more aware as a society of the effects of this campaign, which is heartening, but reactionaries stand at arms to defend their ideological convictions to the death.

For the record, what Adam Smith actually meant by "free" was "everyone is free to participate -- barriers to participation are controlled for and mitigated to the best ability". This requires regulation to discourage and ideally eliminate monopolistic behavior.
Could it be that they aren't afraid _because_ they have superior weapons, and want to keep that edge? The world still appears to be a scary place when others may assume that you can't defend yourself.

I met Masa personally a couple times, and used to know several people in his inner circle.

The reason why Softbank buys at the top is because they do not have good internal filters to judge technology. "Masa invests in cr*p," one of them said.

They want the prestige of investing in the best tech companies, and to them, that often translates as "the most overvalued startups with the most media attention."

Their LPs know even less about tech than they do, so who's going to stop them?

For these reasons, Softbank is incapable of making contrarian bets on undervalued companies, and always puts money behind the startups that have already raised too much, too soon.
It's also a side-effect of being involved in the community as a creator; if you were pissed at the 3D Zelda what were you going to do, fly to Japan and track down Shigeru Miyamoto? Send him a nasty letter?

I never wrote they should. I am disputing the notion that they earn huge profits (“enormous scoop”). Which is trivially disproven by looking at their financials.
Even if you can do this accurately the second order effects in terms of stress on the team, friends and colleagues getting kicked out and self doubt do make the job more miserable. The people that are nominally “safe” aren’t some island of calm unaffected by their coworkers and culture shift that isn’t. And I’d expect that the actual approach will end up being a far blunter instrument and make the situation adversarial.

Probably not .. that is a diminishing returns kind of thing. If I'm the only user and there are not a lot of programs that need it, it's not worth the effort.

What I have now can best be described as cooperative multitasking with custom contexts. Example: the FTP server and HTTP server keep track of each user connection, provide them a buffer, and know the state of the session and how far into the file they are that is being transferred. (True multithreading would generalize that kind of context as a set of registers and a stack for each thread.)
I feel like if someone has the resources to kidnap a bunch of people and hold them captive in a large, heavily-guarded office building, while forcing them to scam people over the internet, they probably have the resources to do something not-scammy.

Stuff like this just erodes my faith in humanity. Humans are not fundamentally good. So many people want to prey on the weak or gullible, not only because it can be easy and lucrative, but because they get off on that kind of power dynamic.

> Has there ever been a successful civilization that had incorporated use of cannabis in general society?

California?
I've become reluctant to do it since many people can't properly administer them and/or fall into addiction. Then again, it happens with cannabis, too.

But eh, whatever, you're responsible for yourself.

For me, gabapentinoids and gabaergics work great. Pregabalin, Gabapentin, Sodium Oxybate are what I have experimented with and found to be good.

Currently on Pregabalin 2x150mg morning+evening. Each dose lasts 6-7 hours (and lingers for much longer, 24-48 hours). I'd recommend starting with 75mg, only on empty stomach. Effects start after 1-2 hours, if you don't feel anything, up the dose. Don't take too much, I tried 300-450mg in one dose, was too stupefying. Quitting is easy by tapering down over a week. May have 1-2 days of bad sleep or insomnia. Minimized anxiety, suicidal thoughts gone, and it even mixes well with most stimulants (for ADHD).

Pretty much the same for Gabapentin, which was great, better than pregabalin (more energy and creativity), until I quit it for ~6 months and now I have some sort of permanent tolerance. It's strange.

Sodium Oxybate (aka GHB!) is also great, easier to get but dosing is difficult, it's short lasting and has a big impact on sleep (forced me into biphasic sleep, which is actually how narcoleptics take it), can't fall asleep without it, but it's great quality sleep after ~3 weeks). Big danger of addiction, even though quitting is easy by tapering down over a week. Basically you need more than 12 hours between after the last dose. Or if you fall into a 24/7 trap (taking it every 1-3 hours), lower the dosage every day. Much harder than it sounds so just never take it more than 3-4 times a day and never more than 3-4 grams at a time.

Would not recommend it unless you're really good at self-restraint and/or quitting drugs. Quitting an a-pvp binge was easier than sodium oxybate.

There's also benzodiazepines and phenibut that I stay clear of (they act partially or fully on GABA-A, way more dangerous/addictive than those that act on GABA-B), and baclofen that I haven't tried due to unavailability.

They all have quite different effects and you need to find a right dosage/schedule. Gotta see what works best for you.

To put it in simple terms, they're mostly like alcohol without the negative effects. I have to say I've been a long time functional alcoholic (over a decade of near daily use), so either my brain craves something for GABA receptors or I've screwed it up and now this stuff works.

Still, any of them are less stupefying than cannabis (and at higher dosages close to it in relaxation effects) and have none of the occasional negative effects like paranoia.

Also, I use tizanidine to knock myself to sleep when quitting various stuff.

But holy shit, please for the love of everything learn to use medication responsibly, learn to quit them and not fall into abuse, because withdrawal can be ugly.

The main thing stopping us is that we both enjoy our careers and neither of us wants to teach. I think if there was strong evidence that homeschooling conferred significant benefits we would probably make the sacrifice to do it, but based on my research it seems like a wash.

The added factor is that my wife was home schooled, and my view of homeschooling is somewhat tainted by that. The homeschooling community she came from isn't exactly a strong advertisement for homeschooling, but I recognize there are also bad schools out there.

The strongest part of her education seems to have been the co-op classes, but those classes are really just like sending your kids to a private school. At that point I'm not sure why you wouldn't just send your kids to school outside of an ideological commitment to homeschooling.
> It is a huge expense, so why would we not shop around?

Because switching to a different provider can be a huge pain in the ass to your employees, whose multi-year treatments/doctors/etc may suddenly become out of network?

And it's probably not worth doing unless the cost delta is truly staggering?
I think this is a good overview, I especially like "descriptive, contextual, reactive." I like to ask "who is going to see this message and why? What action should they take?"

I've also come to find a few "wide" log entries significantly better than having many smaller log messages (especially as the system grows).

Ideally, one operation == one log message, and contains all context: userid, sessionid, url path, domain, error codes/messages, timing, etc. log error/warning if it fails, info if success. It's much easier to follow than one operation spread across a half dozen log messages. In dev, with one thing happening at a time, it's no big deal, but in production there's way more stuff happening and it is interspersed with hundreds of lines of logs of other operations as well as other threads running the same operation concurrently.

> If it's realism you're after, how about listening to a professional talking about their profession?

I actually do that too, why the false dichotomy?

> Why bring Hollywood into it?

Because I've already watched the movie and now I want to know what to make of it. Claiming that it's all completely unrealistic 'because Hollywood' is a far more uninformed position than listening to an expert give a balanced account. Watching a documentary and then assuming that that gives me the required knowledge to make a realistic assessment sounds completely delusional.

And why do you care so much that the title is designed to induce clicks? Every outlet from solo influencers to NYT/WSJ-style media giants creates their online content with this mindest nowadays. It's only clickbait if the content doesn't live up to what's promised in the title.
You're right, that's what the article is about, because that's easier. Finding paying customers and product market fit for an existing product is harder, and that's what I teach at growthlab.so.
for people who want to try this with real hardware I would recommend the 3com 3c503 as the best choice of 16-bit ISA bus interface card. Or a real NE2000. There were some weird NE2000 clones back in the day that were not so great.
I think we all already know it's all of them.
