Yeah, you might update your view of other countries eventually. What you are describing are North-Korean-style mass "protests", often at gunpoint, in which it appears that a large mass of people cheer for the fall of the 'great imperialist demon'. Go talk to Chinese or Iranians or [insert future mortal enemy of the US], and you'll see: a population most often could not care less what the US does (or what is done against the US), unless the US is currently in the process of murdering said population.

Hell, even the Vietnamese don't hate on the US as much these days - even though they'd have every reason to.
That you are telling them about their life which you apparently know a lot about.
The world has a lot of poor countries, so settling for “better than the median” is a very low bar. On the list of GDP per capita, the median countries are South Africa and Peru.

If the US ever gets near the median on these global lists, it would be the result of a collapse worse than the Soviet Union’s.
In addition to the other explanations it might be interesting to know that high net worth individuals tend to make heavy use of these. They have extensive collateral that is often less than fully liquid. They can borrow a relatively small amount compared to their holdings and fund most of their day to day costs from their line of credit. Paying down the line can be done in a tax advantaged way. The math works out that they may pay low or even no taxes as a result.

Usually, when infrastructure is built without extremes in mind, it won't withstand them. Where I live, it's an annual joke that during the heavy rain of the year, a lot of things break, flooding occurs, etc. That's because heavy rain is relatively rare, so most infrastructure isn't really built to handle the peaks very well.

I assume it's the same story.
Honestly, the ribbon wasn't too bad. Was was missing was letting the user know that alt was available and usable. If the guidelines were followed as they are in office and explorer, pressing alt puts the quick access letter next to all the available items.

What has really killed discoverability, are "over to show" buttons, and the hamburger. Both attempts to save screen space and present a "clean" albeit abridged view of what a user could do from an interface at a glance.
Ok, so you have some control over quality. I'll also be generous and assume you have good estimate of dosages and/or some way to maintain consistency of dosages (anyone else reading this, the standard advice is to take less than you think you want and wait 45 min or so, then take more if needed to reach planned cruising altitude. This works if you have enough prior experience to calibrate by, otherwise is very difficult).

How do you know which dosage is best for treating depression?

Assuming the best treatment is a series of sessions, how do you know the optimal spacing of sessions, and the optimal dosing per session?

You are correct that the trips should be intentional. Who sets these intentions, which intentions are the most helpful, how do you guide the session along the lines of the intentions (recalling that the session might include full ego death and conviction that both your mind and reality are distinct and permanently broken) and most importantly how do you structure the post-session therapy to integrate the learnings and actually get some personal growth out of this?

Are there age-related differences in this? What is the protocol for a early 20s vs a mid-50s vs 70s/80?

Also, to look at your own advice ("if you have anything else than extreme depression and no other mental health conditions") how do you actively screen for this?

These are concerns which are well addressed within shamanic circles-- so I'm not speaking with the voice of pharma here.

Psychedelics are powerful tools. Like any other power tool, they can be a great help and also fairly risky if not used carefully. Insert your own woodshop analogies here.

1) start with small doses

2) do some reading BEFORE. Minimal list:

Yes, this is roughly in the right area.
I guess being better than a random third-world country (yes, that’s what median means here) is seen as a great accomplishment? Not sure why you would choose to comment this, it’s like a grown adult bragging about being able to beat up a toddler.
For school shootings, it’s rationally absurd to worry about those rare events. It’s like worrying about dying from a terrorist attack or a plane crash in France. The probability is mathematically non zero, and the country makes a big deal when that happens, but it is statistically a non problem.

Being confronted with an armed robber in a home invasion is more of a problem in the US (but France has its own fair share of violent crime). Outside of that I think the bulk of gun violence is suicides and gang on gang violence.

You can increase the land value tax all the way to 100%. In the limit the UBI can be paid for entirely by land value taxes, which leave no surplus for land owners. It’s very easy for a UBI to end up benefiting only the non-working and land owning classes but it’s avoidable.
This is only a problem on iOS devices of course.
I used to try to do everything myself, being a jack of all trades and I was proud of it.

Then the life stopped rewarding my jack of all tradeness and I felt the pressure to focus on one thing and one thing only.

That one thing allowed me to hire people who are good at what they do instead of half assing those things myself.

This is my story, your story, and probably the story of the humanity itself.
> The root cause I have found is getting designs done in isolation and then treating the Figma/Sketch/whatever file as a hard business requirement, instead of treating the user experience as a collaborative exercise that is a tradeoff between usability and feasibility.

I've actually seen this happen when the development stages of either part are wildly out of sync. The design folk finish a mockup of the UI and figure out how the components should look... while the developers are struggling to get the back end up and working properly, talking with the front end etc. And so the developers can't feasibly put the design demands in place, without ignoring other important needs.

So while one part of the team is talking about how the dropdown components and multi-select components should look, the other is struggling to get all of the API endpoints up, the DB migrations done, the server/container configuration working properly, put package updates in place and fix various bugs and issues, as well as write tests.

Some companies do distribute those responsibilities amongst multiple teams, but I've definitely seen cases where there are designers whose responsibilities are way unbalanced with those of developers, who are putting out fires a lot of the time and doing other stuff, creating friction and complicating communication and collaboration between them.

In those cases, making the dev team 2-3x larger may help (or may make everything worse, it depends), yet it doesn't seem to occur to anyone working on the project.

> Healthcare for all that has 0 to do with employers and is near "free".. guaranteed time off, sick leave, maternity leave, and real assistance on early childcare (as in nearly free nurserys etc) would fix like 90% of the US's problems when we talk about things like "people don't want to work".

Let's be real here. Plenty of people have all those things and are still lazy as shit, especially in tech. I work hard enough so that I'm at least somewhat of an asset to my company, but I doubt I'm anywhere near as dedicated to my work as the average Chinese factory worker. If you watch American Factory, you'd notice that the Chinese workers just seem to care more about their work than the American ones. I do think that Americans deserve things like free healthcare, but I also think it's important to maintain a realistic perspective.
While it’s good advice to use a venv for development work, there are a couple of Python packages that you want to have installed globally, such as pip, pipenv or poetry. So I don’t see a contradiction here after all.
It wasn’t $600 though:

$1,200 per adult in April 2020, $500 per child.

$600 per adult in December 2020/January 2021, same per child

$1,400 per adult in March 2021, same per child.

A fully qualified two adult, two child household received $11,400. For a median income of 2x $31k, that’s 9% of the household’s per annum income. If you both had a job during covid, as most people did, it’s pure inflation.
“electricity imbalance” may be a myth, but a short electricity “fast” (HYTTIOAOA) is still a useful fix for many problems.

I don't know - it's your argument.

If it helps, unhappiness/despair seem like different degrees of the same feeling. Depression is a different feeling.

The closest analogy I can think of is that "amused" and "satisfied" are both positive feelings, but they are different and you can't treat the cause the same even if some of the symptoms are similar.
That's beautiful. Thank you.

Your comment is super unclear as to who and what you're talking about. Delusional? Enabled?

You've said, "the main problem". Are you talking about something that affects most of the working population?
UK infra - physical and electronic - is typically rated to around 30C. So higher temps are going to cause failures in multiple locations.

> 60k gives you ~3200€/month, which allows you to rent kinda easily a 30m² apartment in Paris or banlieue prochaine (suburbs)

Easily does a lot of heavy lifting. I'd doubt you'd find a 30m2 in a nice neighborhood. Source: I looked last year. I was also specifically talking about buying.

> Of course if you live somewhere else than Paris it's even better

You'll probably be making less than 60k in that case, if you can even find a job…

> and in every case you also count in universal healthcare.

It depends. If you break your leg or something else critical, sure. If you need any other kind of care (hospital stay, glasses, or even some dental work) you better have a "mutuelle", which seems similar to the US model of employer provided health insurance, in that not everyone has it. Also, this comes out of your 60K, and part of it is included in the tax base, so it isn't completely "free".
Is that different from the US? Employers pay half of social security and Medicare, as well as payroll taxes.

Yes they would.. except that most places where there is a walmart, there is no costco. They do not have other higher playing places that can accommodate the workforce. I currently live in Seattle and when I drive down to Portland, there is maybe 3 costcos along I-5. There are a tons of more walmarts, targets and other big box stores. Walmart is the largest non-federal employer in US.

Do you really think people work at Walmart because they love the job? Check out /r/target for some insane stories. If forced to choose between insane working conditions or take their chances, some are willing to take their chances.

Exactly right. For a Tier IV data centre that margin is ASHRAE N=20. For London City until recently that was only 34.5C (dry bulb).

> You literally said that soft deletes are illegal, which heavily implies what you now deny to have said.

Who is "you" here? Perhaps if you were less defensive you'd notice that I'm not the person you originally replied to, which, by the way, makes your response nonsensical.

Edit: I'll add, that the only person who is likely to get anywhere near to "complete bullshit" is going to be the one who writes "but I'm not a lawyer nor certain about it" and doesn't provide a shred of evidence to back up their, frankly completely ignorant, notions.

90 days grace? Risible.
It sounds the same. We call the 84k figure “fully loaded,” 60k is salary, and 40k is “take-home.”

I think a good explanation of the phenomenon is detailed here: https://youtu.be/ZuXzvjBYW8A (it's a 50 min talk and targets the UK, but it's applicable to the Western world IMHO).

The summary is:

- People are working more and reaping less and less from their labor

- Social security is getting both worse and less accessible for people in the working age

- Working people in general have a much harder time entering the house market and when they do the bang for the buck is way worse than in the past

- Retirement plans are getting worse and worse

- Millennials and younger people will likely have to drastically reduce their carbon footprint by as much as a factor of 8 compared to the previous generations if we want to hit climate goals for the century

Apart for the carbon one, the others are things I am also witnessing both in Switzerland and Italy. And with these premises I don't find surprising that people consider "working hard" or even working not worth it.

Think I'm going to go carve some more bits for the computer. Kids these day, get off my lawn.

When I was a boy our Nintendo
Was carved from an old Apple tree
And we used garden hose to connect it
To our steam-powered color tv.
But it still beat that ancient Atari
'Cuz I almost went blind, don'tcha know,
Playing Breakout and Pong on a video game
Hooked up to our radio.

And we walked twenty miles to the schoolhouse
Barefoot, uphill both ways,
Through blizzards in summer and winter
Back in the good old days.
Back when Fortran was not even Three-tran
And the PC was only a toy
And we did our computing by gaslight
When I was a boy.

When I was a boy all our networks
Were for hauling in fish from the sea--
Our bawd rate was eight bits an hour (and she was worth it!),
And our IP address was just 3.
And you kids who complain that the World Wide Web
Is too slow oughtta cut out your bitchin',
'Cuz when I was a boy every packet
Was delivered by carrier pigeon

And we walked twenty miles to the schoolhouse
Barefoot, uphill both ways,
Through blizzards in summer and winter
Back in the good old days.
Back when Fortran was not even Two-tran
And the mainframe was only a toy
And we did our computing by torchlight
When I was a boy.

When I was a boy our IS shop
Built relational tables from wood,
And we wrappered our data in oilcloth
To preserve it the best that we could.
And we carried our bits in a bucket,
And our mainframe weighed 900 tons,
And we programmed in ones and in zeros
And sometimes we ran out of ones.

And we walked twenty miles to the schoolhouse
Barefoot, uphill both ways,
Through blizzards in summer and winter
Back in the good old days.
Back when Fortran was not even One-tran
And the abacus? Only a toy!
And we did our computing in primordial darkness
When I was a boy.

I agree with you, but let’s not rule out the wage issue, like it’s crazy that people need to work multiple jobs to make ends meet, but also finding dependable workers that take pride, that’s I think about respect, I am sorry but how I’m supposed to take pride if I do a job well done, then at the first issue the company is just going to lay me off to maximise bonus or dividends?
How could an author who knows nothing about you possibly be better than yourself at construing an example applicable to you?

It then seems to me these kinds of books must be made for people who want others to think for them.

So maybe all these books should say is: "Think. Your problem is a lack of aforementioned activity. If you need some food for thought here's a list of ten pithy principles. Flip to page two for an afterword by my publisher."

Of course that wouldn't be good business sense. Why show someone the spring when you can sell them water?
Yes, I've been running a simple site where people grab stock price data. Folks often donate to me. That was the group that I started speaking to. I now have ca. 250 email addresses on the waitlist. I've done a few surveys and had 1:1s with many people.
> It's.... interesting. If you start out knowing you will do HTMX, then I found everything is much easier. Splitting off small small views to return just the right html after a hx-post is more labor intenstive than i would like, bit overall it's nice.

This was almost exactly my first impression of HTMX as well. It's a huge step forward! However, for my tastes it demands too many tiny views and micromanaging, which somewhat felt like a drag on my productivity. For an alternative, take a look at Unpoly [1] which has more batteries included (i.e. create layers of interactivity that update lower layers automatically) and is centered around full page requests/diffs and less focused on injecting small page fragments everywhere. For my small apps, I could do everything in one view that took three or more views with HTMX. I can only imagine the views exploding for a modestly complex site. The biggest penalty for Unpoly is that it is quite a bit (~2X) slower than HTMX, which needs to be kept in mind and managed for larger pages with a lot of interactivity. I suspect this is because Unpoly loads the entire page and does a DOM diff to see what it needs to update, as opposed to injecting just a page fragment. In my tests, I was able to manage around this issue using layers. The big upside to Unpoly is that the full page refresh architecture aligns very neatly with Django's request/response cycle, which gives you pretty seamless interactivity and form validation. It also has a lot of batteries included that HTMX lacks. I think HTMX is terrific and revolutionary, but Unpoly fits my brain better while doing Django development.

That might or not be the case. That doesn't matter in my argument.

Not working costs you money indirectly and keeps you were you are.
It amazes me how utterly ignorant the most privileged people in the world are about the stupendous luxury in which they live.

60,000 USD is 58,000 Euros at current exchange rates, which equates to a post-tax annual income of 37500 Euros in France.

If you were only supporting yourself, that would place you in the top 1.6% of earners in the world. It would be an effective income 17x the global median.[1]

Now, these are estimates, and some of the underlying data is outdated, but the basic point is clear. It would provide you with, relatively speaking, a historically and globally unprecedented level of affluence. After that point more money is going to do almost nothing to improve your well-being - doing creative and meaningful work, having good relationships, having a well balanced mind, etc., is going to be far more important.

Bluetooth is governed way better than any other comm standard. For example, WiFi implementation incompatibilities are legendary, and solving them is left to device makers instead of a specialist body. Certification is also non-existant.

For Bluetooth, at least for a major vendor, it's unthinkable that they wouldn't be able to come to Bluetooth SIG, and call out the issue, and have it worked on until it's solved. But more usual, issue will be highlighted at the certification, and test stage.
They built a marketing strategy for me. It breaks the effort into pre-launch/awareness, launch, and post-launch/systematize. They gave me insight into what to do when. They'll do the work or I can outsource. I've done a mix of both.
>The author uses the "no one ever undeleted anything" as the primary justification. I think this is the part they miss.

But did they though?

"Although I’ve never seen an undelete work in practice, soft deletion wasn’t completely useless because we would occasionally use it to refer to deleted data – usually a manual process where someone wanted to see to a deleted object for purposes of assisting with a support ticket or trying to squash a bug."
That's interesting to hear. I thought the reason LNG futures for this winter in the UK are so high is because other European countries are expected to have completed lng terminals by then. They only started a couple of months ago.
Reminded me of this slightly different take on culture/race specific marketing, and yes cigarettes are currently seen as 'worse' than alcohol now but in the 1920s the view would have been reversed.

Nah. It's because people look at the conclusions he draws, that foss will benefit users, devs and the world with no downsides, and then look at the reality of the shit show of a world built on foss that we actually live in, and conclude that the organisations who benefit the most are Microsoft, google, Amazon etc. and the people who benefit the most are billionaire rent seekers and the people who work, or who want to work for them. Based on this they conclude that he's deluded. The answer to this is not more foss, license tweaks or moving off GitHub but less giving away your time and money.
