Well, considering that magic mushrooms are native to Europe (and Africa and Asia) and there is ZERO Greek, Latin, Sanskrit or modern language textual evidence, I think it is fair to say he discovered magic mushrooms in the same sense as Columbus discovered America.

So, basically, I 100% agree with you. But pretty nuts that no one knew about them in Asian, Africa, Europe and most of the Americas until Wasson!!

What is there to discuss without details? Should we accept the partisan framing presented by the article that there that the current administration across all levels of government are “secretly” instructing social networks to censor content, and go from there without any evidence or nuance? I think we can have a better discussion than that.

Now, someone pointed out that I overlooked a link to the court filing. That’s my mistake. That would maybe spur a better discussion.

20 states (out of 50) either do not have minimum wage laws, or have set their minimum wage to the same as the federal minimum wage: $7.25/hour[0]. Since those states include Texas, which alone has 9% of the national population, I continue to feel like "almost nobody" is a better descriptor than "nobody.".

One of my daughters was recently looking for unskilled work, and interviewed for several positions paying less than $15/hr, even worked one for two days before quitting, so I could ask her why she is such an irrational actor, but you've already stated that you know my own history better than I do, so maybe you can tell me why she bothered. Why anyone bothers.

You seem incredibly sure that the market is more rational than I think evidence suggests. I almost begin to think it's an article of faith, and I'm already over-quota on faith-based arguments for the month.

I surrender! Nobody in this country is working for less than $15/hr, so it's completely incomprehensible why so many people are still fighting for a $15/hr minimum wage. Those people must not know what you know.

More like ignoring reality is a choice. You can live in miserable conditions and trick your mind to be happy and refuse to be affected by circumstances and be happy. Thay works out fine if happiness is your goal. But that also means you ignore reality and operate based on lies and self-deception. Why work to improve your situation or fix problems if you are happy as you are? I actually think too many people are happy when they shouldn't. I prefer to be angry, sad frustrated, anything so long it matches reality.

What is the big deal about happiness anyways? I have been happy, I have been miserable. The taste of truth and justice is sweeter. Not seeing your loved ones suffer and your precious time on earth wasted away are better goals than being happy for the sake of feeling good.

On those systems requirements that you can use ANY of the USB4 ports to connect your monitor don't seem as insane. With how fragmented USB already is, having to know that THIS USB4 port will support your external monitor, and none of the rest can, would be really pushing user's patience.

If you are an essential part of your startup as, for example CTOs are in very early stage startups, you may find it difficult to completely detach for more than a few weeks especially if the business is negotiating a complicated part of its development.

There is much good advice here but I would add a few things that I have not seen in other comments. My advice is not for people who are employees as I believe they should take at a minimum their entire statutory allowance, but for founders with a greater stake in the success of the business:

- although the first few weeks are certainly the most challenging especially if you end up staying on in hospital for a few days, there will be many challenges over the entire first year unless you have excellent family (ie grandmother) help - so pace yourself and your team's expectation of your involvement.

- Plan to be completely absent for the first few weeks and adjust your team's expectations accordingly, but then optimise asynchronous communication of all but the most pressing issues from that point on. This helps if your business is remote because it's likely you will already be successfully using asynchronous communication through tickets / slack / email.

- While it would have been great to spend my downtime watching series, early infancy tends to give you a lot of time at unexpected hours and it can actually end up being quite painless to put in 2-3 hours of problem solving or pull request reviews. These can make the difference between a team heading radically off path and staying on track.

- If you can (ie if you're not the one breastfeeding -- that's totally consuming and you won't be able to do anything) try and distribute some of your leave later because babies get more engaging every extra day they are out of the womb!

Good luck!

In the next 100yrs the north polar ice will melt enough that China can go around the top to it's trading partners. The strait of Malacca next to Malaysia will stop being as critically important as it is now to China's oil imports.

It's likely the SEA region will cool off, the action will move up north and all those subs we bought will go from AUKUS to AWKWARD.

Aus just needs to cut costs and forward into quality (koalaity?) manufacturing and science. Or we could just keep ripping up the ground like a bulldozer on a bender and hope China doesn't tank the iron ore price.

> The new version of OxyContin includes an ingredient, a polymer, that makes it harder to crush and snort or inject to get a quick, heroin-like high. When the new version was introduced, Purdue pulled the original OxyContin off the market. The patent on the new version runs until 2025.

> On Tuesday, the FDA said that it won't approve generic versions of the original formulation of OxyContin, a long-acting narcotic pain medication, which went off patent that day.
Then what would you glamorize? I'd think that in a free-market economy revenue is a pretty good proxy for usefulness too in most cases.

Re passenger jets - I imagine you are thinking of the Comet 1? That was a more complex failure than is generally known. In brief, they did know about fatigue life at the time, and had ways of retiring aircraft before it was an issue (safe-life design, apparently introduced in the 19C for steam engines despite their being iron and steel). Ok, now you will be thinking "square windows, stress concentrators". Almost all pressurised aircraft use windows with angled corners in the cockpit. There isn't an intrinsic bar to square windows, and in fact the original design would probably have been ok. That used glued installation, avoiding stress concentrators. However a production engineer changed the design to use riveted installation, which caused the well-known problem with hull failure. Still, that would have been discovered if DH had not managed to resist government pressure to do fatigue testing on the pressure hull (because they were racing Boeing to be first to market, and fatigue testing takes time). They actually had the apparatus for repeatedly pressurising the hull in a bath, but only used it for testing static pressure.
Bandwidth is a massive limitation. Even high end users use hilariously low PPI external displays with their laptops. Like they’ll have an internal 4K panel and an external 27” 4K panel.
Yeah the NUC 11 and 12 come with 2.5gbe. 10gbe is still an expensive option for most. Thunderbolt fills the niche for some, since it can form point-to-point networks at respectable speeds, > 10gbps without much hassle.

Until a transit strike paralyzes it. Or until a storm shuts it down. Or until government decides to shut it down Covid-style. Or until the trains turn into homeless shelters with meth-overdosing zombies. Last thing in the world I want to do is spend time with “the public.” Or have to haul kids and groceries via train. Or have to get to a doctors appointment on one side of town and then another event on the other side of town and minimal time to connect those dots. I also don’t want to walk multiple blocks during heat waves, storms, or snow.
". It is usually tacked on later in an update because it isn't a core feature and it affects only a small subset of users"

But thats not optimal, right? But most do not care, as long as they are not part if that subset.

I mean, I find it hard to care too much either, when my main concern are all the missing and buggy features, that needs fixing first..
If the feature is simple enough, it is possible to illustrate it in a few sentences. I am just speculating at this point, but if the discussion went like "hey, I think in Markdown, if the users enters a code-block, we should treat everything literally and not escape anything. This way users can just copy-paste code and expect it to render exactly like the raw text".

This is clearly spec'd and has clear expectations on how it should behave. No implementation details of course which you wouldn't expect from a product manager in most cases as well.
Certain kind of income is taxed even without tax residency (so-called beschränkte Steuerpflicht). This is independent of citizenship though.

I'll admit there is an argument about risk aversion of civil servants, but I don't think that's necessarily the issue at hand here.

NASA's implementation of different Center's actually addresses a risk that SpaceX doesn't have to necessarily consider (or at least to the same magnitude). Namely, it's meant to address political risk. NASA's missions almost always span multiple administrations, meaning they risk being defunded each election cycle. This is mitigated by spreading the political reward across multiple districts, who then have politicians with a vested interest in keeping those programs going. The downside of this is a lack of efficiency. Unlike SpaceX, NASA can't build up a single location to build and test rockets. If they did, there would be two Senators who want to keep it and likely 48 others who want it defunded in order to fund their own pet programs. So we have programs managed out of Ohio, tested in New Mexico, Mississippi, and California, funded out of Texas, and launched out of Florida.

I'd argue they aren't "risk adverse", but they mitigate a different set of risks. In any event, SpaceX can't be "disruptive" without the complicit help of the organization they are disrupting. It isn't really disruption, but a symbiotic relationship as intended. SpaceX actually gets to outsource a lot of their risk to the American taxpayer because their early (and major) customer (NASA) is self-insured. It's much easier to take on a lot of risk if somebody else is footing the bill.

I think a major risk to SpaceX that people don't really talk about is the bureaucratic quality risk. Right now, SpaceX doesn't have to meet the same requirements as an in-house NASA build. That allows them to streamline their efforts, but also implies an increase in risk. (Most requirements are a response to some risk). However, if any bad event happens like god-forbid they lose astronauts, you can bet additional requirements will be levied. This may really impact their "disruptive" advantage. Look at the example of their F9 strut failing in 2015. For some reason, SpaceX didn't levy supplier quality checks prior to the accident even though it's common practice in industry. Now, they do. The real question is if they were making risk informed decisions previously or just naïve.
Yes but "the reason why is not clear" and "a direct causal link cannot be established"
The goals don’t need to be minute and fine grained.

They could be as simple as “onboard 20 new customers by December 15”.

From there, you build whatever is necessary to capture 20 new customers.

'Historian Joachim Remak says:

The nation that...can still be held least responsible for the outbreak of the war is France. This is so even if we bear in mind all the revisions of historical judgments, and all the revisions of these revisions, to which we have now been treated....The French, in 1914, entered the war because they had no alternative. The Germans had attacked them. History can be very simple at times.'

That iPad has enough content, gamification, and social aspects that it keeps you motivated to work out on a consistent basis. For many people that effect (especially if it leads to health benefits) is worth paying a lot of money for, and it's easier to just spend the money than to try (and likely fail) to be self-motivated enough to do the same thing on a conventional stationary bike without the tricks.

In other words, better to pay ~$1500 + ~$44/mo on something that gets you working out hard every day, than to pay $150 for a big ugly clothes hanger.
>As an outsider, it seems pretty clear that the rejection to the industry is more about the cultural mismatch than it is to the actual work needing to be executed.

Look at Intel. It's a western company, but it famously fell behind its competitors due to offering comparatively shit pay and conditions to its staff, so the best people left. The problem is hardware company culture, not Asian company culture.

Apple's M1 is an example of what a company that compensates its staff fairly can achieve in hardware. Hardware companies need to get the idea out of their head that they can pay people shit (even when they've got huge monopoly profits like Intel had) and still expect to remain competitive.
They didn't come up with this now. The report has been in the works for years.

I can put white light through a prism and get multiple colours out. I made the assumption that actually white light contains all the colours, otherwise it would be off white. It's fair to assume that the whitish shade that eminates from a b&w TV is what is colloquially known as white. So I stand by my statement that a b&w TV contains all the colours.

I didn't think about colours being dimensions. They really are underselling TVs aren't they.

It's funny.

I have a hobby of printing images onto cards and making "constellations" of the cards.

A bit more than six months my ago son introduced me to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_3D

and between time spent doing other things and figuring things out and eventually getting a good stereo camera it took about six months before I started routinely making good stereograms. Or I made a few before I ran into a really baffling problem: I made a tkinter application that let me process a stereo image and I found the 3d effect would often look great in tkinter but not look quite right in Photoshop or when I printed it.

Turned out there was a problem with color management which I was able to prove by making an image that looks like a TV test pattern and taking a screenshot of the image in tkinter and in photoshop where the colors aren't the same.

In some sense I felt this was a setback and a real pain in the ass but in the long term I'm going to perfect the art of stereograms and this is what it takes.

> However, when more power is necessary, it is required; it is not possible, by the definition of Turing-completeness and declarative, to do the same thing with a declarative language that can be done with a Turing-complete language. So when that power is missing, the only option is to work around it.

I fall heavily into the use less powerful languages and "liberties constrain, constraints liberate" camps.

I'd be very interested in a real world example of this, though I know that class of examples is hard to come by.
Easier said than done, most who don't have kids do so out of lack of resources, not a lack of desire.

When you have the required resources you would see a large boost.

This isn't just cash, its also based on stability of assets and how easy it is to get permanent residence.

For example:

A poor person in somalia can still afford a home and food and other necessities and so they have many children. People there can just build a home and not have to pay taxes on that property, and food itsself is cheap.

A well off person in california might not be able to afford a nice enough house for kids and might feel unstable in their income and transportation, so they might avoid having kids until its no longer even an option anymore.
Google were around in the Great Recession of 2009 so you can look there to see how they may react to a slowdown/recession. I recall at the time there were reports of something like 200 job cuts at each, <1% of their workforces at the time.

I think both will have hiring slowdowns/freezes and of course Google will continue to shutter loved projects, but I'll be surprised if we see any significant (>1%) job cuts from either.

I'll also add a [2]:

[2] There's no way to do it in the page tables. But, if you have Protection Keys for Userspace (PKU), you can get it ... kinda. You can have a PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC mapping, assign it a pkey, then set PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS in the PKRU register for that key. In fact, if you have a PKU CPU and you do an unadorned mmap(PROT_EXEC), the kernel will allocate you a pkey and do this under the covers FOR you. Anyone who can execute WRPKRU can easily undo this protection, but it's better than nothing.
