I was about 21, they prescribed 24 pills I think?

I used one, and really just a preemptive use before I went to work (I only took a half day off).

The weird thing is, though, I felt very normal at work. I had never tried a drug, so I wasn't sure what to look for, but I just felt normal. No pain, no other effects.

I have some from a dentist thing last year, too, and I would say similar now, but with a mild high.

I was never tempted to take extra. I threw them away before I moved countries.
So... should we let Apple white-label preexisting services until everything is sold with Apple as a services layer? I'm not trying to be reductive here, but that does seem to be what you're describing.
Housing is treated as an investment these days, instead of as housing. That's the fundamental cause of unaffordability, and it exacerbates the problem. It's easily fixed with the right policies, but at this point it can never be fixed (with a huge political left turn, maybe).

Making it easier to obtain leverage doesn't make housing cheaper, it just makes the prices go even higher faster.
There’s no marketplace there, so you still need to find your clients. It’s the most misleading part of their website.
Exactly, a different one. This article is more about stock prices, linked to a study that concludes cannabis is as a new competitor in drug markets.

We were applying a variety of other scaling phenomena which have been long observed, and then applied it in terms of networks. Most of the actual analysis of data, such as mail delivery was done by Andrew Odlyzko. There is also another form of the paper out there with Bob Briscoe added, and he had quantitative data not previously published from British Telecom. (See https://spectrum.ieee.org/metcalfes-law-is-wrong for a link, but you'll need a subscription.)

That said, the argument and result is intentionally informal, and intended to be a better rule of thumb than Metcalfe's law. Which was itself even more informally reasoned. However its key flaw we explained with:

Metcalfe’s Law is intuitively appealing, since our personal estimate of the size of a network is based on the uptake of that network among friends and family. Our derived value also varies directly with that metric. We therefore see a linear relationship between the perceived size and value of that network.

That said, different social networks may well have different scaling laws. In fact I pointed out privately that eBay likely was a counter-example which is closer to Metcalfe's law for the simple reason that you derive value there from connections to random strangers. And indeed eBay successfully maintained a market leading position for a long time despite charging significantly higher fees than competitors like Amazon Marketplace.

What? When?

The vi vs emacs flamewars were intense. I've seen literal death threats thrown out online over which assembly language to use, or PS2 vs XBox flamewars. Trolls, even back in the day, would try to trick people into clicking pornography on children video game forums.

People have always been assholes online.

Offline, casual racism and stereotypes rule. Which is why people focus so much on dress and mannerisms, so that your first impression is "correct", and you have a reasonable social interaction. How you talk, or stutter, or accents, or skin color, etc. etc. It matters more often than not.

It "shouldn't", but it does. These things seep into the online discussion space.

Gazprom Won’t Reopen Gas Pipeline in 11th Hour Blow to Europe
The Polish government is being pulled in a few interesting directions. For instance, as of 20 Sep, 2021:

Poland must pay a daily penalty of €500,000 ($585,550) for ignoring a previous order from the European Union’s top court to cease operations at the Turow lignite mine, with its CEO slamming the fine as “bizarre”.

On Monday, the EU’s Court of Justice (CJEU) confirmed it was enforcing the financial penalty against Warsaw, stating that Poland must pay the European Commission the daily half-million euro fine until it sees compliance with the earlier order.

Judges from the Luxembourg-based court said that the fine is “necessary… to deter that member state from delaying bringing its conduct into line with that order.”

https://twitter.com/EUCourtPress/status/1439940814046744581?...

The Czech Republic took legal action against Poland in February over activities at the mine, which also sits close to the German border, claiming that it spoiled its citizens’ drinking water. After Warsaw failed to obey the court orders in May to “immediately cease lignite extraction activities at the mine”, Prague asked the court to fine Poland €5 million per day.

Poland is widely hated by its neighbors for the existence of this mine. The mine is also in a hilarious geographic location if you look it up on the map. It's BARELY within the country.
Look up Ethereum Classic. It is still running. Why is this any different?
But different families have different levels of income, and there is a very long tail. If nannying paid better, it would just be a smaller fraction of families that could afford it. The fact is because it's a low skill/high supply labor pool, the equilibrium point is reasonably low, such that even many middle class households can afford nannies. For software yeah your cost could be borne by a billion people, but those billion people could instead bear the cost of a cheaper developer if they were available.
Cool. Let's make a new definition, love your idea, thank you!

Also, I think that this type of argument, which I've seen before, is an attempt to split hairs and and engage in obfuscation. FUD. I'm not falling for it.
Not sure that is entirely true. A hell of a lot of cities on the west coast have absolutely massive opioid addiction problems. Street Fentanyl is doing a number on people.

I really don’t understand fentanyl addiction either. Ain’t that the shit they give you when you have surgery and stuff? All I know is that stuff knocks me the hell out when I had it for some wisdom tooth operation.

Plus the difference between an appropriate dose and an serious overdose is razor thin (from my understanding).
Errr what?

"Good product," at least in English, generally means "a product that people successfully and happily use for its intended purpose." It doesn't usually mean "a product that does good in the world." There are plenty of very good products that don't do good things in the world. If you're operating in real life as if these are inseparable features of an object, please stop.

Well, I suppose you can carry on. Again, if it's useful for you to believe everyone else is an idiot and that, now, good product == product that does good, go ahead. I think this is a very low-resolution picture of reality though, and is probably the source of some of your confusion.
Thank you! This was useful.
I have both experiences. Sometimes it dulls the pain, sometimes I think it focuses my mind on it.

Particularly intense pain seems to be amplified.

Postponing real action? We've crossed that line a quite some time ago. To now say planting tree is going to contribute to the hold up gives too many other true contributors a free pass. Yes, we've got a load of issues, with more and more piling up by the day. Let's not get distracted. Distraction has contributed more to postponing than planting trees ever will.

p.s. This problem is massive. It's global. There is no (single) silver bullet. It's going to take whatever we can do. It that's trees, so be it. I don't know anyone who believes trees are The Answer. Nor have I noticed anyone pushing such an idea. Planting trees doesn't crack the Top 100 of Greenwashing.

How is that similar? I'm not talking about anything with PD. Simply incentivizing troubled areas with wealth for simply not doing the things that makes their assets worth so much less. There is absolutely a non-zero amount of people, who if given steady income, would not be committing crimes of poverty. That income can come from the housing wealth generation. It's just a matter of where on the range of 1 - 100% can those issues be stopped with adequate wealth.
I did this but then moved the directory. When re-linking and checking with ls for the path I thought "oh, alright, it's already there". Oh well, better check with ls -l earlier next time.
This particular one? I doubt, but there are theories in major newspapers (Polityka, Gazeta Wyborcza, Newsweek) that Antoni Macierewicz (former defence minister, a major PiS politician) is a Russian agent or otherwise connected with Russia, as such connections pop up all around his circle of friends.
The real issue is enforcement turning a blind eye to the bad apples. It's literally their job to root out and bring them to the justice system ...

And part of their job is to reasonably accurately not affect innocent people in the process.
I'd take it a step farther and say that it's not going to be one single key component that will fail, but rather that much like any empire, our modern technological infrastructure is a complex system. Like all complex systems, it will have many small failures that gradually erode the redundancies built into the system. Finally something will break for which no backups exist any longer and the whole system will go down, only to come back up after a while. Gradually it will go down more and more frequently until we cannot keep up with maintenance to any useful degree, then we'll see smaller regional internets for a long while before it eventually becomes a myth of the past glory days.

These internet fiefdoms will be owned most likely by giant monopolistic corporations, much like the old AOL network before it connected to the broader world wide web. Content ownership laws will go even further towards squashing the creativity and organic growth of our culture as these corps gain even greater control than they currently have.

The actual world-wide internet will become a niche relegated to the people willing to hack their way out of the walled gardens and a necessity for tech workers who live outside of the areas serviced by the limited networks.

Dang, now I really want to write a cyberpunk story.
It's because Nix wants to install into /nix. Once upon a time doing "sudo mkdir /nix" wasn't a problem, but recent macOS releases have made that very hard.

Nix could switch to an alternate location on macOS (e.g. /opt/nix) but that has a lot of downsides for interoperability with other systems.

I live near Boston which is known for its medical centers, so this might skew things somewhat, but it seems like every graduate I know is going into medicine of some form (surgery, anesthesia, nursing, surgical tech, hospice, etc. etc.)

I heard consistently that residency slots are extremely competitive and a lot of qualified candidates get passed over. The more I learn about the process the more insane it seems.

From the student perspective you go from paying to work one day and spending most your time working cases with zero relevance to your actual specialty, to raking in several hundred thousand a year.

It also seems like hospital systems seem to spend more than half their capacity either dealing with patients that don’t need to be there but there’s literally no place to send them, or patients that are too far gone and untreatable but there’s literally no place to send them.

Healthcare is like a Gordian knot of terrible policies cemented into place by trillions of dollars of government spending.
The reparations for Poland has been ongoing since the end of WW2, however since Poland went into the Iron Curtain, the reparations they did receive were given to the soviet union, who didn't provide them to Poland. And by now the memory of the 6 million dead Polish is distant or non-existent.

So don't work at companies that offer these benefits.

Because you do benefit from those benefits even if you choose not to have a child. The people working there would most likely not work there if these benefits didn't exist.

> it's impacting everyone else at the business negatively

Clearly it's not. The companies offering this clearly prefer the type of people that benefit from this. And you do as well, as the people taking advantage of this are clearly important to your job satisfaction.
APFS volume is required to have a read-only nix-store at /nix. The daemon is only required in multi-user installation, and you can opt out of it (by using a single-user install). New groups are for letting people submit jobs to builders in multi-user mode.

American Union corruption is an ugly story, quite a lot of it in New York, NY .. later Detroit. The battle against communism fits well here, as the far-right criminals who did run NY Unions were the choice of the insider capitalists, versus the serious-Left that thought of the idea.

Not only that, but it is _actively_ participating in the cyberpunk dystopia that they are saying is inevitable. If evil only needs good men to do nothing to grow, problems only need us to give up to become worse. (I'm clearly no poet)
There is something interesting going on here from a geopolitical angle. EU is being sued for providing recovery fund because some senior German EU officials don’t like their right wing government.[1]

Nix wants to use /nix, but Apple wants macOS to be locked down and secure.

Just as a quick counter-argument. Amazon did not become today's behemoth overnight. It started as a source for books and then slowly expanded into other sectors as it perfected its execution.

I might agree that the characterization is a little bombastic, but:

1) It is oddly good marketing if mildly misleading ( as discussed in other posts it is not exactly a 'replacement for Amazon store for seller' as I would have initially thought from the initial presentation )

2) Here we are discussing its merits or lack thereof

In short, I agree with your general point, when compared to today's Amazon, but I think it was more of a rhetorical device rather than a 'factual statement'.

"Racist" seems to fit the bill here.

Some people view racism as "prejudice + power". This comes from academia and is an example of an improper noun from the article, but has found its way outside of it through, I'll paraphrase - Twitter SJWs.

Then, you have the traditional colloquial definition of racism, which is just "disliking someone because of their skin color".

Then, you have an expansion on the colloquial definition, which brings all sorts of other traits under the umbrella of racism, where basically any kind of xenophobia may be referred to as racism.

I think we have 3 very common beliefs about the definition of racism floating around in America, which is a shame since it is such a focal point of half the conversations in America, and the people talking to each other probably have different internal definitions of this word.
Private practice is quickly going extinct in the US. It's generally not an option for US residency and fellowship graduates these days unless they are in one of the specialties that has cash payors (plastics, dermatology, orthopedics, a small number of "concierge" primary care docs and psychiatrists that cater to rich patients, and a small number of ophthalmology practices that carved out a good Lasik business).

The vast majority of pacemakers are placed by cardiologists with an additional two years of training in electrophysiology (not by cardiothoracic surgeons, who prefer to do complicated open heart surgeries and generally find things like pacemakers boring).

Contrary to the conspiratorial thinking all over this thread, medical society guidelines have scaled back the indications for putting in pacemakers time and time again, so the market has shrunk. Electrophysiologists have to make up for the lost pacemaker volume by doing newer procedures (ablations) that reimburse less per hour of work. Even then, the volume at a lot of shops isn't enough to merit full time work. A lot of graduating electrophysiologists have to take mixed electrophysiology/general cardiology jobs where less than 50% of the work is electrophysiology.

All that is to say, no, pacemakers are not a money making scheme. While there is decent money to be made, it's a shrinking market and those who got obscenely rich putting in pacemakers in the 80s and 90s have mostly already retired.

Different. These are enhanced mitigations to detect when a program is calling into the kernel from a weird state that should never happen in a well-formed program. It basically prevents certain types of exploits from successfully calling into the kernel.

Or code more readable, and more obviously right or wrong.

A few I use :

- always suffix with the unit, for quantities for which we are likely to not always use SI units (ex.: time ("double timeS" for physics, "long timeNs" for low level scheduling, etc.), angles (latRad, latDeg, etc.))

- lists/sets of Foo named fooList/fooSet by default (or xxxFooList, etc)

- Map<Foo,Bar> : barByFoo

- Foo[] : fooArr

- return value : ret (some use "result", but it's longer to type/read, "ret" is more obviously related to "return", and a result can just be intermediate and not something to return)
