Allowing the government to tax addictive substances after banning them under the auspices of paternalism is morally repugnant.

I don't want to live in a country where we allow the people in charge to create black markets only to prosper from them during and after "legalization".

If we continue to allow the "tax it to have it" narrative we will suffer the consequences of it. No amount of "school funding" or "road construction" justifies it.

> I did a double-blind test a couple of years back with a few friends who shoot film only and no one could reliably tell the difference.

Wait: how could you possibly do a double-blind test? They'd surely notice the difference between a slide projector and a computer monitor. A digital scan of a Kodachrome slide is not the same as a Kodachrome slide projected with a good projector. The dynamic range from a projector is far greater than any standard monitor is capable of.

The digital projectors used in theatres are getting pretty close. A standard desktop monitor? No way.
While this may be true, it's also the problem with large software companies. This is why often they create products that don't meet user expectations despite a large effort.

This is prioritizing appearance over substance, something that is common for business minded people like sales or managers, and is no surprise large companies are taken over by this mentality. In my opinion roles have to reflect their area of expertise when it comes to career success. Engineers should be rewarded for the solutioning and technical knowledge (for the most part). That list should look very different for each role.

It may not change things for you or me, but there are many, many people it will change things for and the grand majority of those changes are positive.

It's a big ask but people should stop from time to time to remember that the world doesn't begin and end at the tip of their own noses. Let good things happen to people even when that good has no impact on you.
How do you think you are adding to the discussion with this comment?

If you want to interject into a discussion with some new, interesting argument, that's one thing.

Interjecting into a discussion which you weren't involved in in the first place, just to say that you don't want to respond to it, is frankly bizarre.
> Overall, 102,473 (16%) of the 638,125 people invited consented and completed at least one questionnaire: 33,281 (20%) of the 162,957 people who had a positive test, and 69,192 (15%) of the 475,168 invited following only negative tests.

That still looks like a pretty poor response rate.
Focus less on now, and more on 5+ years from now.

If you leave and it does sell, would that be a regret? If you stay and it fails to sell and you are unemployed for a couple months... is that going to feel like it was harmful to you when you picture yourself in 2027 with this being 5 years ago?

The short-term advice is always going to be to jump from the sinking ship, but if there is one thing I've learned in this industry it is that no matter how much your current work and decisions feel important today... there will be a day in the future when it is just a memory of some gig you once had. Make your decisions based on how you want to feel on that day when looking back.
I love Obsidian because it puts everything in just a file that I can see live on my filesystem. Craft, Bear, Notion are all good tools, but I get uneasy knowing that so much of my knowledge base and documentation lives on their backend somewhere.

I happily pay for Obsidian Sync even though I could use iCloud or OneDrive to sync my vaults because I want to support them

Oh my god, this took me on a nostalgia trip. I am near tears seeing this site again. I was a terrible CS student in university. I had failed all my classes(Math, Physics, CS) my first semester at engineering school, got placed on probation and ended up dropping out into community college. There I continued to struggle but when I discovered Paul's online notes I started to turn things around eventually getting back into that Engineering school and graduating with a respectable 3.3 GPA(don't look at my disaster of a transcript though). I still wasn't great academically and not putting in 100% effort stand among one of my greatest regrets in life but the feeling of sitting down and studying with friends using Paul's online notes was a memorable moment during my university days. It was a care free world (other than anxiety over test grades) just me, my friends, and Paul's online notes and then going to the local Chinese buffet after all of us passed our midterms with at least a C.

I never really felt like I internalized the concepts rather just constantly barely being above water prepping for tests and a school like NJIT is not as kind towards plug and chug learning as community colleges are but still these guides will help you study better and it lead me to better appreciating all of these concepts years down the line even though I didn't fully internalize all of them.

Is this sarcasm?

Is the CIA & DEA even cash-flow positive?

I would imagine by not needing to enforce cocaine being illegal, we would have a lower tax burden. Then, you also get to do an excise tax - like with weed, alcohol, & cigarettes - and bring in a ton of revenue.

I can't imagine a world in which shitty, dangerous drugs that empower cartels has less negative externalities on the world than legal alternatives.

It was sold and par and redeemed at par.

Actually it's a bit more complicated, because the preferred stock was also issued with 10 year warrants to buy common stock with an exercise price based on the company stock at the time of issuance. The warrants could be repurchased at fair market value, or they would end up being auctioned by the Treasury.

So the Treasury did also have upside participation. e.g. Morgan Stanley repurchased its warrants for $950M vs. its $10B preferred stock sale.

The preferred stock also came with all kinds of covenants that related to government policy objectives (capping of common stock dividends, initial limitations on redemption absent a successful raising of equity, executive compensation restrictions) which really frustrate the notion of "pricing" this.

The point still remains; the premise of TARP was "the only way the government loses the entire pot is if the program fails disastrously and the entire financial sector fails" whereas the premise of PPP was "the desired outcome is that all the loans are forgiven and the government loses the whole pot".

I think it's the personalized nature that drives the demand. People do it for the feeling that it's something they uniquely did, that the result of that analog process is theirs alone and couldn't be exactly duplicated. They're not going for quality, they're going for the "I did this" feeling.

It seems they have sufficient data points that the difference in the means is significant even with high variance. For example, take "number of creative ideas" because it has the largest Cohen's d besides the gaze measurements. Doing Welch's t-test to compare and assuming the virtual/physical were evenly split (not reported), the statistic is (14.74-16.77) / sqrt(6.23^2/150 + 7.27^2/150)=2.6 and at 75 degrees of freedom that's something like p=0.03, still pretty significant. In the paper they use a negative binomial distribution because the distributions are significantly non-normal and get a lower p=0.002. Then in the field studies with 745 more pairs they get pretty much the same results. So overall the statistics seem fine and they probably found a replicable effect.

The more likely issue is garbage in, garbage out - their study design is really not that great, e.g. the time taken to switch between the screen and the tablet could be the cause of the difference.
> I am interested in, for example, particle physics. There we need need simple ways to communicate point estimates and the associated uncertainties for various parameters of nature.

Okay, but what do you _do_ with a confidence interval once you have it? It's just an abstract object that can't be used to take your knowledge and make better predictions about the future. If I tell you "This new particle decays with a half life of 28 years with a 95% confidence interval of +/- 5 years", can you take that information and use it to estimate the age of an object that started with 236 particles and now has 182 particles?

> this is not a question about estimating an unknown parameter of a distribution, so it's not statistical in the sense Wasserman is talking about

And a frequentist confidence interval doesn't answer a question about how you should update your knowledge so you can make better predictions in the future, so it's not statistical in the sense bayesians talk about.

This is an active research topic in our group. Within unsafe Rust code you lose the guarantees of the Rust ownership type system, which are important for framing (figuring out which parts of the memory _could_ be affected by the given operations). As a result, for e.g. pointer-manipulating unsafe code, the code will probably need to be annotated more heavily, to track which values are "owned" by whom etc.

Or, here me out, we stop giving rich people money regardless.

I don't understand why we didn't just let companies in 2008 go bankrupt. Can someone explain it to me?

Without having any idea of this, right now I'm facing the problem of making a PDDL compiler (which is basically Lisp) in C++ , and this was the way I took. Lists are just std::vectors<std::variant>> and the variant can be a function, number (literal) or a variable.

Yea, I think this is confirmation that your AC was broken. Your AC should have been able to dramatically lower the humidity level inside the car, even if the greenhouse effect and radiant heat from solar loading kept the temperature super high.
...And it's more than a drug if you're interested in chemistry. Why bromine and other stuff such as color 'couplers' are added to B&W silver halide emulsions to make them panchromatic as well as faster and more sensitive is complicated enough, but the chemistry that goes into making either a color (masked) negative (Kodacolor, Eastmancolor etc.) or a reversal colour emulsion such as Ektachrome, is a whole new ballgame.

Processing the film may be comparatively easy but deep down color emulsions are a true wonder of chemical engineering. Not only do chemists have to be familiar with color theory but also they have to find stable color coupling dyes that bond with the silver halides (a difficult task with many compromises) as well as work through a reversal process and still remain stable not to mentioned the fact that this has to be compatible with the separate process of 'doping' emulsions to both increase and balance the speeds of the layers (each of which is different). Optimizing each of these competing demands is almost a complete branch of chemical engineering itself. If that's not enough, couple it all with the the need to stop color cross-coupling between layers (which is akin to cross-modulation in signal processing and muddies colors and which cannot be removed by simple color balancing)—and the incorporation of stabilizers whilst simultaneously keeping the silver halide crystals very small throughout the process (to reduce grain)—and also the incorporation of chemicals to prevent and mold etc.

Even then that's not the end of the story. It's a great shame that most photographers haven a clue what a gem of technology that's in their possession when clasping a roll of 36 exposure color film.

Now don't think that that the chemical technology of color film is now obsolete as it isn't. Even if color films were now a complete dead end each of its chemical processes live on in other areas of chemistry.
Note that vendors know this and some release few patch versions quickly with only few patches to make people move to newest version (and get the community test it by using it). No idea if Postgres is one of these.
