Yes. In fact, it seems that when legalization happens - opioid use/overdoses in neighboring states goes down too.[0]

Capitalists will always hop on the bandwagon during the last mile, when the risk has been largely eliminated and the rewards are huge. This is their usual playbook; externalize costs and risk while reaping the rewards.

But what made weed legalization happen is decades of activism, not business interests.
I grew up around heavy users. When those guys hit their late 60s it wasn't pretty. It's not scientific but the number of horrible health conditions I've seen have put me off. Of course that was mixed with loads of smoking and drinking.

It's left an emotional reaction to that lifestyle that I can't shake. It could be that my families friends all had very bad genetics. It could be that they were exposed to something else that got them all sick but what stands out in my memory is their party culture.
Knowledge work output would probably increase significantly for most knowledge workers. Time is the resource but really it's just energy management
Like they forgot noscript/basic (x)html interop for the web in their last "digital related" directive (which is a step in the right direction, but a very shy step).

That said, open source drivers are not enough, need proper hardware programing manuals with erratas.

The first thing I would do is trash android for a homebrew elf/linux derivative.
Heavily editorialized headline, like most news coverage of scientific studies. They found that cannabis users answer survey questions about apathy similarly to non-users. And that cannabis users will push buttons for candy similarly to non-cannabis users, even if they have to do it a lot to get the candy.

You can decide how that maps to real life.

Of course the same argument applies to return statements. And breaks.

Some of us use a convention of a blank line after a block that ends with return, throw, break, or continue, to save on indentation.

Of course that can help only if you are not splattering blank lines everywhere, communicating only that you think the reader doesn't deserve to see much of your code at once.
Immigration policy is national, so states can't do much about policy that affects us immigrants.

> (3) Within each job category, for each combination of race, ethnicity, and sex, the median and mean hourly rate.

If we want to resolve pay disparities we also need to stop pretending that Salary means 40 hours and instead require accurate hours worked reporting regardless of "exempt" salary or not.

Why? Because hours worked is not equal across the variables

Can you post a link to it? Sounds interesting.
This kind of work is also fantastic for those who have limited mobility or use of hands. On top of that, it's also a comforting peace of mind for the rest of us that should we ever e.g. lose our hands in a car collision, we might still have a successful path forward in our programming careers and passions.

Reminds me of a talk I once saw where a developer developed arthritis and couldn't program effectively anymore, so he developed an almost "verbal vim" plugin for vim (or was it emacs?) that allowed him to write/edit code quickly using verbal utterances. I forget what that project was, but I wonder how these two compare.
Is it possible to avoid thus issue by using the C(root) .UTF8 locale? I am hoping it sorts according to unicode codepoint number, and hence is stable if you unicode-normalize your data.
Sure, and for those positions the market will decide that a wider pay range for job listings is justified. That is the purpose of not forcing a certain pay range.

Personally, I do not see a reason to legislate a specific bottom or top range. Let the pay range be $min wage to $1B. Eventually, employers who try to do that will be forced to change by lack of quality workers applying to them.
I agree that a mega-backdoor Roth is a potential approach, but to be clear, there are a LOT of hurdles that your 401k administrator has to jump through to allow this, so it's an example of an "if you're lucky enough to have an amenable 401k provider" suggestion, not an "everyone should do this" suggestion.

Angel investing from a Roth account is a more universal possibility; not all Roth administrators allow arbitrary investments, but you can roll over Roth balances to an IRA that does all this.
Unlocked bootloaders and open source drivers are the only viable way to get 5+ years of OS support on Android phones. Even with a regulatory mandate, most Android phone manufacturers would be unable to provide satisfactory software maintenance on that kind of time scale. But community projects would be able to do so, and are already doing so in niches where bootloaders and drivers are not a barrier.
As a practical matter, most of us would immediately ignore these joke postings. Hell, most job sites do (or would) allow filtering by compensation, which would hide these entirely. E.g. if you know you need to make $500k minimum, then a job that could "pay" $1 is gonna be right out.
I think actual romantic couples therapy when one person is a founder and the other isn’t is the bigger need :)
Autoencode it into the latent space of the collective conceptual understanding. (See OpenAI’s latest paper on concepts arising due to “multimodal neurons” [1]). Then use all of hacker news to “fine tune” GPT-x. That will preserve the knowledge in a highly flexible manner that can be queried at will to generate any representation you like.

No, you don't. Get an adapter with a voltage converter, just like you would if you need to plug a 120V-only device in a 240V outlet.

120VAC outlets have not changed in 60 years and that's owing to the fact that they output just straight-up power, no negotiation BS.

Those are usually pretty trivial as they are judiciously handed out based on hot code paths by the JVM.

There are certainly pathological cases where it could cause major issues.

AOT suffers from not having runtime information, so anything involving dynamic dispatch (which is REALLY heavily used in java) will be a lot harder to optimize. JITs get to cheat because they know that the `void foo(Collection bar)` method is always or usually called with an `ArrayList`. PGO is the AOT world's answer to this problem, but it generally explodes build times and requires real world usage.

In java land, there's also the option of "AppCDS" which can cut down a large portion of that compilation time between processes.
I disagree - in economic terms the information asymmetry is hardest where there is less competition. You have companies paying 100k and 600k for same-roles in the industry.

But alas making it mandatory is not the way to go.
>fully agree with you on Cannabis, but I don't think that's an argument for restricting opioid pills. I think we can and should make Cannabis widely available, and should absolutely encourage people to give it a try first, but if it doesn't work for them I think they should have the option of trying the pills.

I'd go further and say that all "drugs" should be easily available and the tiny percentage of folks who develop dependency issues should be provided treatment and support.

Not only would this reduce suffering and provide a wider range of pain management strategies, it would also significantly reduce the societal costs of substance prohibitions in terms of reduced economic impact in the following (not a complete list) ways:

1. Interdiction/enforcement is hugely expensive, and providing treatment to those who require it would cost a fraction of that;

2. Criminalization of substance use stigmatizes those who are caught in that particular net and, at least in the US, limits their ability (because many folks won't hire you if you have a criminal conviction) to increase economic activity/output;

3. Because of (2), many communities as well as the economy as a whole are negatively impacted both economically and socially;

For some reason, when it comes to "substance" use issues, we tend to examine the possible alternatives to address them, then choose the least effective, most harmful one.

I hope that changes, but I doubt I'll live to see it.

Edit: Clarified that the impacts I mention are not all of the impacts that drug prohibition has on society.
My favorite suggestion for a nationwide privacy law is simple:

Clarify that all EULAs are null and void unless they have been reviewed with counsel, signed, and notarized to ensure the user understands what they are agreeing to.

If the companies want to treat them like contracts, so should the other party. Otherwise, it all stinks of duress.

Constructions like 'PIN number' and 'ATM machine' are just fine from a linguistic standpoint. Using them has class connotations, but that doesn't make them wrong.
Couldn’t agree more. The CCP mismanaged the economy and its growth over the last decade, and now they’ve failed to achieve economic escape velocity before their population’s aggregate productivity wanes due to a rapidly aging population.

I think the anti-gambling proponents who said gambling legalization would degrade society have to some extent been proven correct.

This is like saying don’t go into medicine because you have to be a resident nurse along the way.

Semiconductor fabrication is the most advanced engineering humanity has ever attempted, so you will reach your threshold eventually solving problems that might not have answers (depending on your role). Not everyone wants to do that though, and the world needs implementers and those focused on details.

Pay? Could be higher for sure.
Wing Commander series, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, Falcon 3.0, X-Wing series, Descent 1 & 2. Thrustmaster flight stick and throttle. Good times, good times.

I never really mastered flying the F-16 in Falcon 3.0, but I at least got to the point where I could take off and land OK. The mission planner for custom missions was very sophisticated too.

For Descent, I had also tried out the Logitech Cyberman 2 controller:

https://www.neogaf.com/threads/the-weird-and-wonderful-world...

In theory, it is ideal for flying your spacecraft in Descent, allowing you to move or turn in any direction in a a sort of intuitive fashion. However, it wasn't that satisfying in practice.

They spent a lot of taxed money on the stunt. To have it solved the same day means almost everybody they might have engaged with it has already lost interest.
A newcomer is going to treat anything documented as experimental as that, regardless of what the community thinks; if it's no longer experimental, it needs to be presented as such at all the normal entry points. (None of this is unique to Nix; imagine you needed to start packaging for Windows for some reason.)

> Everyone and their mother offers them.

I'm pretty sure the US government offers them for free, and anyone else doing it "for free" is only using at a means to collect and sell your personal information. Using some random site like getmemyfreecreditcheck.com or whatever is pretty much asking for your privacy to be violated.
The entire employer-employee relationship is predicated on power imbalances specific to our economic and legal system, so how tragic is mouse jiggling, really?
One of the things that really stands out is just how much wood goes into every gram of iron he extracted. That charcoal pile was huge and it was only enough for a dozen or so BB sized chunks of iron. The limitation on the availability of iron in primitive times seems mostly limited by the size of the nearby forest and how good you are at converting them into charcoal.
Tax avoidance is perfectly legal. There's nothing wrong with getting tips on what to research on a public forum.

I don't think the US offers any trusts that are tax-efficient in the way the questioner would like, but I'd be interested to know if I'm misinformed!

I don't find the surface explanation hard to accept. Amazon expanded aggressively during the pandemic to meet huge demand. Post-pandemic demand has contracted significantly and they are responding to that. It would require an explanation to their shareholders if they were not responding to events.

That was my point. Roe didn't establish a right to privacy but it was justified with a right to privacy. Roe was overturned because the SCOTUS now argues that there is no constitutionally guaranteed right to privacy so Roe was invalid.

The metrocard machines are interesting not just because they are easier to use then any other subway kiosk I’ve encountered but that they are unhackable. People have been trying to beat them since they were first installed and the closest anyone ever got, that I am aware of, is if you crease the card in just the right way so that the turnstile can detect the magnetic signal but bit read it entirely, it will let you through after swiping four times. Though supposedly the MTA cops know this trick and look for people with creased cards - in minority neighborhoods anyway. The cards themselves seem to have no stored value but instead point to a record in a central database.
They argue in bad faith and there is no consensus to be had. Drives me crazy and I still try despite knowing this.

Why DeepMind’s breakthrough ML algorithm was so tricky to train
TDD is bad because it introduces distracting busywork. The actual typing isn't the actual problem.

In terms of just typing, I could probably produce something like 50,000 lines of code in a 40 hour work week in a moderately verbose programming language. In practice I'll probably crank out somewhere between 1000-5000.

It's the thinking that is slow. It's made even slower by adding additional tasks and context switching.
The sound output through the 3.5mm jack is notoriously low quality.

Elements promoted to the top layer stack according to the order they are promoted. Inside a promoted element, child elements are stacked according to the regular layout rules, i.e. same as if the element wasn't promoted.

Think of the "top layer" as similar to inserting an element as the last child of the document body. This is how modals and overlays are usually implemented - by inserting the element last (and position it absolutely) it will automatically stack higher than anything else in the document. At least until something else is inserted last.

Z-index is actually not that useful for stacking elements (whether in top layer or not) since it only works inside the scope of a stacking context. Element order is a better way to control stacking.
It's not just accessabilty, nothing but English works. Even the keyboard doesn't work as it's hardcoded to keycodes so click the top of the track and click "Name..." and try to enter é and nope let alone 音

I'm not trying to knock the app or the work put into wxWidgets. But, we need to not regress in supporting the entire world and not just the English speaking subset. I don't really want to go back to the 80s/90s. I like that in general, with HTML, international text input/editing just works.

Not a single country in the EU uses socialism, so you'd be mistaken. They are all capitalist countries.
Interesting. I suppose GPUs could calculate things differently. I just checked, I can rerun both 40/80 step runs and the final images are bit-identical to the first runs. So at least in my scenario the same parameters are deterministic, but changing the number of ddim sampling steps changes the result.

Maybe it's doing something fancy with the total number of steps, beyond just stopping after the count is reached.
I agree, it wasn't a great comparison. I didn't want to get too into the weeds on specifics since I figured the average person would lump them all under "psychedelics" or "hallucinogens". I just wanted to point out that the activation of opioid systems may be a contributor in its more addictive nature, but it's certainly not the only factor in its addictive potential. Especially so since those dissociatives that activate dopamine or opioid systems tends to be more addictive than their more selective counterparts.
Oh you are right. Do you know why there is the 10% threshold?
It is getting headlines exactly today, and never again. The goal was not to get it solved; they already knew the solution. The goal was to get a lot of people working on it. Now we know a motivated 14-y.o. can solve it in a few minutes, so it does not merit attention. "Plonk", as we used to say before endless September.
Sorry, the EU is currently busy, they’re mandating the cables you oppose.

It is not on the phone, no. I'm sure eventually you could run it on the phone like Elixir Desktop[1], but that isn't what it is at the moment. The phone connects to the server via a websocket and the SwiftUI "DOM" is pushed to the client just like HTML would be.

You left out hypothesis C: if you send too many firefighters they get in eachothers way and become difficult to coordinate, making them worse at putting out the blaze.

And hypothesis D: fires with the same number of firefighters cause different levels of destruction because some departments are organized to let their 10X firefighters work more efficiently.

And hypothesis E: Many arsonists become firefighters thus more firefighters increases the risk that an arsonist will be on the team

And hypothesis F: The same as hypothesis A but since some tools require more than one person there's actually a minimum threshold below which destruction skyrockets

And hypothesis G: Wealthy areas that can hire more firefighters also suffer more expensive destruction for a given blaze.

And hypothesis H: If we invest the resources we're spending on firefighters into fire prevention we can reduce total fire damage

And infinitely more hypotheses.

There will always be another argument that makes some logical sense. And unfortunately reality is under no obligation to make sense, so it's entirely possible something that sounds stupid and counterintuitive could just happen to be correct anyways.

But with data, we can test hypotheses. Vary the number of firefighters and see what happens.

If that's the case, then what they're trying to do simply will not work.
