Agreed, partially. I wish the focus was more on getting more comfortable about the presence or lack of specific negative effects instead of trying to figure out how to market + advertise it as a cure-all. For a huge amount of people its used exactly like alcohol, so I really want to know the most I can about its effects in that scenario (edibles VS dabs of pure distillate VS smoking flower, etc...). We have reasonable generic answers to some of that like "smoking literally anything is bad for you", but not enough data on consumption methods that don't involve heat/smoke.

On the other hand, we've got a pretty solid understanding about this for alcohol.

> highly addictive mind altering substance

mind altering for sure, but you should clarify that it isn't highly addictive in the way most people think about that statement. Its not a heroin or opioid situation where there is a high propensity to physical dependence even after limited used. THC use is more like alcohol in that around ~9% of users will develop some sort of physical dependence after frequent heavy use, granted there is a noticeable lack of known immediately damaging physical symptoms (like liver damage with alcohol). THC withdrawl symptoms, when they exist, are generally irritability, insomnia, and decreased appetite.

Honestly I think all the side-effect technologies are just marketing. The true goal of space exploration is and should be to turn us into an interplanetary and eventually interstellar species. Yes we don't have the tech to do all of that just yet, and maybe some new physics is required, but just as Cathedrals were intentionally built over centuries we should intentionally build out the capability to the best of our abilities. Not only is it essential to our long-term survival as a species, it would provide a cultural release valve just like the old frontier, only this time no natives to worry about.

Considering that most rich first-world countries aren't having enough kids to keep up the rate of replacement, I don't think this is going to be reality. There's a strong correlation between quality of life going up and birthrates going down already, no need to sterilize people.

Also—we're already living in a world where a lot of menial labor is automated. I'm not sure I'd call it "utterly delusional" to see that there's a long history of humans automating tasks and to think that eventually we'll automate everything we need to survive. We've been moving towards that goal for the past 200 years!
> highly addictive mind altering substance, that can mess up your life and possibly end it as well.

I think you've watched a bit too much reefer madness. There is little to no evidence backing any of these claims (and btw you supplied none) with legal access to cannabis.
> That would be magic

Yes, which is why attempting to dismiss the notion that gravity is mathematical by stating that math on a page doesn't exert a force on you is not a valid argument.

> And it assumes reality is mathematical or logical as opposed to those being descriptive human languages

Let's run an experiment: propose a universe in which conjunction, disjunction, negation or implication are violated. Do the properties of such a universe have anything in common with our own? If our reality necessarily preserves these properties, how could you sensibly argue that reality is not logical?

Yes. The idea behind most of the stuff seen in C23 is to rid itself of UB that ultimately lead to easier to maintain better compilers and libraries.

Or just don’t smoke anything and have zero problems. Works for me!
To keep warm, I'm estimating 2,628 kwh for a month for a home for a family of 3. In our magical Minnesota where everyone lives in houses with 3 people and only electric heat pumps, we'd have 1,900,000. This means, we'd need 4,993,200,000 kwh in the coldest month (4.993 Twh).

500,000 kilowatt of panels would produce ~33 gwh in the worst month (January). So, we'd need 151 times that many to have a good chance of doing this with purely solar. That'd mean 75,500,000 kw of solar panels. Assuming that we could install these for $1.50/w, that'd cost 113,250,000,000 and there's still a chance that we'd freeze people to death.

To mitigate that risk, we'd want to add ~500 gwh of batteries (just guessing as to needed capacity here). At a price of ~150/kwh, we'd be looking at ~75,000,000,000 in energy storage prices.

Feel free to check my math, as I did that pretty quickly. The figures are absurdly high due to scaling for the worst case type scenarios. Summer months would correlate with lower demand and more than double the supply.

Sensibly speaking, noone would try to do this. Its like building an offgrid home. You can get 90% of the way there and add a generator, or you can spend 10x more be truly offgrid. Almost everyone chooses the former. Maybe even 80%. Solar is great and very cost effective, but the returns diminish the deeper one goes.

Every time I use Spotify and - as the author laments - get podcasts and audiobooks thrown at me, I want to ditch streaming audio entirely.

What will I lose? A frictionless way to get individual songs into a playlist and some recommendations.

What will I gain? The ability to keep playing those songs after they're dropped by $streaming_platform. Fewer ads in a product I'm already paying for. Supporting artists in a way that gives them more money.

Edit: Thought of another positive - songs will stop getting replaced with new mixes of them (this doesn't count the cover art changes). It's happened a dozen times on various Evanescence songs, and a Peter Hollins accapella song was replaced with a violin duet version.
Honest question: what is "headless" in this context? Aren't all web back-ends headless?
> Ideally, the activeness of the community would determine what games can support professional play; bottom up, not top down.

Yep and this is how it's happened for the most successful esports. Brood War was turned into a competitive game by KeSPA with minimal support from Blizzard (and active interference later on). EVO was self-organized and had minimal outside support for a long while. Even League, which was supported by Riot from the start, had a very bootstrapped, labor-of-love feel to it, probably reflecting the actual small indie company Riot was at the start; the season 1 championships are lovingly referenced as having taken place in Phreak's basement, and the season 2 championships were an absolute logistical mess. The huge cash investment and sponsorships didn't come until way later.

> Most MOBAs are way too visually complex for non-players to understand what's going on.

Definitely, especially if you haven't played the games and know what items or abilities do. But at least as a spectator you have a full visual of the playing field and largely see the same thing the players see.
Does it hurt you in any way? If not - I would just leave it alone. Google can tell a copy from original. I tried to search some arbitrary text from your website - there is no trace of copycat in Google SERP.

What striked me, though, is that a copycat website is waaaay faster than your original. If I were in your shoes, I would invest my time and effort into speeding up the site. Unlike hunting some script kiddies, that will bring palpable benefits.
> The ideal of the small, self-sufficient, productive and profitable family farm is just that, an ideal and to a large extent a myth.

Depends on your debt load. My small farm is now sufficiently profitable with most of its debts paid off. If you are carrying massive debt like many farmers you need to grow bigger and bigger just to eke out a small margin as most of the potential profits are handed away to creditors.

It also depends on what you want. Often farmers purposefully drown themselves in debt in order to have amassed extensive wealth later in life. They could keep a tidy "mom and pop" business but want more. It's a question not unlike that faced in tech: Do you aim for nice little business that keeps you comfortable or try to blow up to be the next FAANG?

The profitable small farm is common enough, particular among the older generations who have their debts paid off, but, of course, those who remain small are much less visible. The casual onlooker only notices the big farmers with the big equipment, big buildings, and big acres. That no doubt skews perceptions.

So uh, when did Neil Young actually leave Spotify?
At least within Canada, Neil Young's music has always been available on Spotify even during the period when he was feuding with the service about Joe Rogan.

Or was just within the US? Or did he ever leave Spotify?
Nope! Which is why I think it would be great—I'd work on things that aren't motivated by needing to pay rent, buy food, provide basic necessities for me and anyone who's dependent on me, etc. I agree that humans are pretty industrious by nature, which is why I think a world where we can be industrious without being forced to be industrious would be pretty cool.

It seems you've already made up your mind (and in a way that doesn't really agree with mainstream science about cannabinoids), but I will point out that the endocannabinoid system already exists in your body, your body uses these chemicals for interesting purposes (related to health).

Also: alcohol is a poison that is far more dangerous than cannabinoids to health. it is not correct that smoking them is more harmful than cigarettes.
If it was the 1950s, the answer would be to dump the batteries off-shore. It does surprise me that battery manufacturers have zero interest in reclaiming batteries to source highly prized lithium we're mining the world for.

My point was simply that this is an adaptation of an existing therapeutic tool (CAR-T) to a particular cancer, not something completely novel. It's a leaf on a tree of therapies, not a new tree per se.
> The last study I read found that it’s more harmful than cigarette smoke and that’s a serious bill.

This was an intentional distortion of the study (if we're talking about the same one) created by the press releases of antidrug organizations. The headlines all screamed that pot smoke was more dangerous than cigarette smoke, and you had to dig to the third paragraph of the articles (where facts go to die) to find out that what the study actually suggested was that (cigarette smoking + pot smoking) was worse than cigarette smoking alone.

IIRC, it also focused on people who were smoking their pot mixed with tobacco, and suggested the reason for the damage was that people hold in pot smoke far longer than they normally hold in cigarette smoke, so more of the cigarette smoke settled rather than being exhaled.
Genuinely curious (I don't know all that much about these things): To what extent does the SQLite model incentivize poor documentation since that would drive use of paid support services?
I have two big complaints about Spotify and they are both about the client. Like Om, I too have no interest in books or podcasts and wish I could permanently remove them from the UI or at least push them to the very bottom of the screen.

My other UI complaint is that you can't completely silence their in-app notifications. I've turned off all (20+) notification categories and I still get notifications including some notifications about the notifications.

My non-UI complaint is that they still don't work with Siri. I know it's because of some stupid spat they have with Apple but I don't think their strategy is very smart. If I leave Spotify it will be because of this. If I didn't have the family plan I would have already (my kids like Spotify).

I am actually following a course right now. Self paid. It costs roughly USD 1000 to follow and is done by a renowned University.

The lecturer just released an exam which is utterly unreadable. He is not a native english speaker. But there are several grammatical errors. The progression is bad, etc. He introduces non-existing terms (Like innovation application) and is incoherent.

Obviously the teacher did his best. But i really think it begs a question to whether that is good enough.

As much as I enjoy cannabis (in moderation of course) I just don't trust any of the medical research surrounding it. The motivation to find medical benefits, to redress the social injustice of people being imprisoned for cannabis, is too strong to ignore. It makes all such research suspect by default as far as I'm concerned.

Anecdotally, I have never found cannabis to be effective at pain relief. I tried it, but it only enhanced my perception of the pain (just as it enhances my perception of taste, music, etc...) When I broke my foot I refused any prescriptions and tried a high-CBD strain of cannabis instead, but it made the pain worse. OTC paracetamol/acetaminophen proved far more effective.
When dealing with news, skepticism and cynicism are practically identical. They're not the same, but cynicism is less effort and achieves similar results.

"but that is not enough for me to put up with a decidedly dowdy app that exists not to delight its customers but instead meet the growth objectives of its stock market masters."

I have the same problem with every modern day app. They are earning 100s of millions, but instead of making the apps better/faster for the main feature which sells them, everyone is just in the hot pursuit of cramming more and more features in so that they can get more users somehow (which is what the board/stock market cares about). No one gives a second thought about the existing user who uses 1-2 features of the app, and wants them to be simple, better, faster and easier.

I also think a lot of it also has to be blamed for iterative "Agile" development model where every 2 weeks, every team has to showcase something "new", this takes a toll right from product management to development. Cargo culting product development / growth hacking etc.
