Why do "we" (you) even think you have the right to meddle with other countries on the other side of the planet, despite an overwhelming evidence of so many instances of it going clusterfuck wrong?

What kind of chauvinism is that?
You are correct. Iran’s first attempt at a democracy was in 1905. But that was also overthrown by British influence and Islamic cleric support.

It was later in 1953 that they had pseudo democracy.
A good article covering kibbutzim as an example of bottom-up, community socialism https://www.cato.org/policy-report/march/april-2021/how-i-be...

And the immortal quote from Milton Friedman: "There are four ways in which you can spend money. You can spend your own money on yourself. When you do that, why then you really watch out what you’re doing, and you try to get the most for your money. Then you can spend your own money on somebody else. For example, I buy a birthday present for someone. Well, then I’m not so careful about the content of the present, but I’m very careful about the cost. Then, I can spend somebody else’s money on myself. And if I spend somebody else’s money on myself, then I’m sure going to have a good lunch! Finally, I can spend somebody else’s money on somebody else. And if I spend somebody else’s money on somebody else, I’m not concerned about how much it is, and I’m not concerned about what I get. And that’s government."

In this framework mutual aid, if it doesn't get captured by centralized "soviets"/etc., as it always is, /might/ be one step better than current public spending. But why not use the actual best option? Outlier personal events are a solved problem, via insurance (the way it's commonly understood, not the semi-public routine maintenance subscription plan that is health "insurance").
Yes it is, but in a comparison of Bootstrap and Tailwind it's important not to conflate Tailwind and Tailwind UI, it confuses new users into thinking that can achieve the same as quickly with "pure" Tailwind.
> But we are in this weird state where people go to a doctor and its like "oh you sneezed? here take these 15 drugs"

Many people say this, but where's the evidence? Probably the best quality article to date in support of overdiagnosis and overtreatment is [1], and that paper is incredibly weak. It does not give any concrete numbers as to the rate of overdiagnosis, only really claims that there are populations of less severe ADHD that have inferior reward/risk outcomes of pharmacotreatment, while also admitting ADHD is underdiagnosed and undertreated in subpopulations, especially girls and minorities.

In other words, it's likely all just misdiagnosis, due to limited sensitivity and specificity.

My hypothesis is that ADHD detection, like any medical test, has limits to its accuracy, and considering even quantitative tests with 90% accuracy have quite large false positive populations, we are seeing a similar situation with the far more qualitative ADHD test system.

Thanks for the analogy. It seems OpenAI is getting ahead in building mass-market products (ChatGPT, Microsoft Partnership) by using 'lesser' LLMs (vs Google's published results).

From what I've been reading/tinkering, this expertise is essential bc these models are very useful only if the UX paradigms accommodate for them. Getting their hands dirty with consumer-facing applications may keep them a step ahead of Google despite the research 'disadvantage'.

Mindset and Setting are so important to have right. If you are not in the right mindset, go do something else. It reads like the dosage was also a bit too high for the first time, and while I appreciate medical purity levels in things the doc can give you, injecting everything is just ew. You can get plenty of that active ingredient ingesting it like a normal savage through your face like God intended. Anyway, ketamine is not a psychedelic, is it? And if you're 65, find some younger friends and go to a rave. I think the clinical setting is maybe the least helpful for overcoming the emotions you don't want. Too bad the damage is already done with articles like this one, that don't need further inspection by most of the population. Why, one anecdotal uncomfortable experience by someone shafted by the medical sector cashing in on research results without mastery of the medium, just one is enough to derail helpful research and exploration for decades. Is it grossly irresponsible to post what should be in the Erowid experience vault to the Washington Post? Uh. yeah. Yeah it is.
Same thing with anxiety/panic disorders
>It’s always seemed very weird to me that the vast majority of people DO align with gender roles and DO enjoy the sexually dimorphic body they have, even though that body had a 50-50 chance of being the other sex

Prior to conception there is a 50/50 chance of being a man or a woman, but once a child enters development, being non-gender-conforming is very rare. I think people confuse the little arbitrary cultural details here (eg: girls like pink) for deeply-seated traits which are innate to gender. (eg: women have periods, and can carry children)
Jesus Christ. Only on Hacker News can one find a criticism of corporate personhood in which the complaint is that it doesn't grant corporations enough rights.

Corporations don't have rights. I understand that the law says they do: I'm saying the law is wrong. Rights are an inalienable thing granted to entities that have feelings, needs, the ability to experience joy and suffering, etc. You know what a person is: don't embarrass yourself by pretending you don't.

The entire purpose of capitalism is that it's supposed to result in the best results for people. Supposedly, competition will bring us the best products possible at the lowest price possible, while fairly rewarding people for their contributions. The entire point of this is to serve people: real, human people. Corporations exist to serve people, and if they fail to serve that purpose, they don't deserve to exist.

Some might argue that corporations are made up of people, and therefore corporate personhood is an approximation of representing those humans' rights, but that's a horribly inaccurate approximation of the truth. The majority of the people--real humans with rights--who make up most corporations, are workers, who are granted no power to speak on behalf of the corporation or choose what the corporation does. This means that when you treat the corporation as an entity with rights and responsibilities, you disproportionately concentrate the benefits of being a human in the people who are in charge of the corporation, who are then able to selfishly concentrate all the responsibilities--and punishments for not fulfilling those responsibilities--in the workers. This is why corporate personhood exists: because it allows a small segment of society to use the rights of humans to take actions while receiving none of the consequences if those actions are harmful, instead hiding behind limited liability and offloading the consequences onto workers and diverse pools of shareholders, some of whom had no visibility into the actions taken and too few shares to meaningfully make decisions.

And in fact, because certain aspects of corporate personhood don't make any sense, corporations have more rights than people. Slavery isn't illegal in the US: if you commit a crime, you can be forced to work in prison for no pay. But when corporations commit crimes, they usually get fines. If an individual knowingly sold an exploding car to someone and that person died, the seller would trivially go to jail. But when Ford did this, they paid damages. And incidentally, the decision to do this was made by people--people with human responsibility to not commit murder/manslaughter--and none of these people ever went to jail, either.

I'm going to say it again: corporations don't have rights. And corporations are harming people, who do have rights, on a massive scale. Whatever the law says, we have no ethical obligation to treat corporations with anything other than outright malice. As long as you don't harm any person, harming a corporation is a victimless act. And often, harming corporations helps more humans than it harms.

It was not merely Linux, but it was also PC commodity hardware that rapidly caught up to workstation-quality. Toward the end, you had Suns with PCI buses and stuff. The UEFI frameworks, and high-quality peripherals that could make it to the mass market, were poised to beat the pants off all the bespoke stuff coming out of workstation manufacturers like Sun, HP, Digital, SGI, and IBM.

Sun was very much a hardware VAR, and they made great software because people would purchase premium hardware to run that great software on. The dual prongs of Linux plus commodity PC hardware damaged both of those selling points simultaneously, as it were, and no Unix workstation vendor could survive. The more adaptable ones embraced Linux and they embraced that commodity hardware (IBM, RHEL...) but even with their Java initiative, Sun could not survive the onslaught.
The real problem is people. What strategy do we have to reduce the world population? Is that topic too taboo? Because it's the core issue.
Yes it works, but the part they don’t mention is that the treatment is black as black gets. You have to be very careful about where it goes, or it can affect the self-confidence or the kids, and possibly exacerbate bullying.

The possibility of something being done poorly doesn’t mean that it can’t be done more thoughtfully. For example, most banks will refuse to let you do online banking using IE6 or SSLv3 and pretty much everyone is okay with that because the risks are obvious.

That’s always the tradeoff you have to make since you’re balancing the benefits to the user and cost of development - customers do benefit if you can ship better things faster because you’re not held back by discontinued browsers. <dialog> might not be there quite yet but it’s close and if you already don’t support IE11 there’s an obvious appeal.

The Shah needed the military to help him remove the head of government in 1953. He was technically at the top, but really the prime minister held more power until the coup

King Charles has little actual power, but a ton of theoretical power. If he somehow convinced the military to back him (and he would probably need all of NATO's support) he could do whatever he wanted in the UK too.
This is a non-story. You have a smaller team with a legacy code base. No one writes documentation or there are limited tests and most knowledge is tribal. So you have blind spots in the system.

Someone fixed it in time and nothing was lost except some reputation points for Musk and Twitter.

A system similar to this was already in place for warrantless surveillance, the FISA courts, which have become a rubber stamp.

These systems that are supposed to be a check on state power eventually become far too comfortable with the agencies they are supposed to have an adversarial relationship with.

Or just, y'know, write a brief comment. Testing is one of those places where the function name occurs exactly once, perhaps twice if the language doesn't have a nice testing framework. It doesn't need to be self-documenting.
If it’s not seamless then people won’t see the value to generate content in it. So you will get more garbage content.

If much of the content is garbage but some is good then presumably people will still come for the good stuff and just spend more time filtering out garbage. Most people don’t navigate inside the medium ecosystem anyway. So inner system garbage is less of a problem then landing experience
I recently started using Tailwind and really enjoy how fast it makes building new UIs. However, I wonder how we'll view this in the future, when people have to actually go back into older projects using Tailwind and look at the jungle of classnames.

At some point there can be so many classnames on different elements that you basically arrive back at the original problem of complex stylesheets where you don't know what is affecting what.

Combine that with the fact that you need to have good knowledge to which CSS styles each classname refers, and I can see a lot of headaches down the line when someone has to fix the styles on a complex component.

The effect you describe is called a "moral hazard".
I have taken LSD but not ketamine. It seems crazy to me to take a psychedelic while in any remotely depressed mental state. Even though the author knew it helps to have a positive mindset, I imagine her mindset was not really that positive at all, having been depressed for many years. I don't think we should treat these drugs as panacea, and I don't think our understanding of depression is strong enough to definitely prescribe these in one case versus another.

Collecting the data is the unconstitutional bit.
I find the MBP 14" and 16" speakers pretty serviceable for lightweight TV watching.

I have a 7.1.4 system at home and obviously there's no comparison but they sound good enough for most series I watch when I'm on the go - mostly on travels.

They're also very good for meetings. I find them much better than any enterprise equipment (Jabra etc) I've ever used.

Sure, good headphones will usually sound better, but I'd rather not have my ears covered all the time. To each their own, I guess.

A hack is in the eye of the beholder, and many hacks are load-bearing and totally fine for the entire timespan for which the thing they're stashed within is expected to be useful. I agree with you that all mathematical models have their limitations--but the choice to use a good-enough one is, over sufficient time and distance, a tradeoff that can be described as such.

There was massive grassroots opposition to Saddam too.

And there is also precedent of a "grassroots" revolution back in 1953 in this very same country. Sorry that I'm taking this claim with a pinch of salt.
The Shaw had tried to take back power that had passed to the democratically elected portion of government earlier in 1953. This was unpopular, and he was forced to flee. After the US and UK led coup removed Mosadedeq, they brought the Shaw back to Iran, and installed him as ruler. In return, the Shaw repealed the legislation that Mosaddeq had spearheaded to nationalize Iran's oil fields.

The Shaw was in exile at the time of the US and UK led coup.
What you said above could be applied to both sides of this debate, even in this thread. I hope that was your point, and not just an irony.
Legal person means fictional person, as in a synthetic object the law applies to. It never meant "the corporation has civil rights" independent of its members' rights".

Bootstrap is for everyone from people who want something quick and easy and don't want to think about design, all the way to people implementing a highly customised design system.

I think due to how prevalent vanilla Bootstrap sites are there is the impression that they all look the same. But it's actually a really good starting point for completely bespoke design systems too.

It makes sense both logically and intuitively, and there's research to back up his claim. The question is what conclusion to draw from it. It's pretty easy to dismiss children who's parents didn't give a shit about enforcing proper screen times at that then subsequently developed an attention deficit by rigorous conditioning as lazy. And it's a convenient avenue for gatekeeping in education.

It just makes sense: if you condition a developing brain to never expect anything other than instant gratification, you obviously have no neural pathways that can deal with a regular workload. There's a reason the chinese government is so harsh in terms of policing kids screentime nationally. Kids show similar symptoms to ADHD after consuming TikTok for a while.

To be clear, I'm not advocating for any archaic educational policies, like not giving your kids a smartphone until they get bullied by their peers for not having one. I'm just pissed that boomers completely missed teaching this generation some media literacy (because they don't know it either) and now act suprised when their kids grow up with this kind of deficit.
Today at the zoo I saw chimpanzees and right next to their area there was a fun fact tablet. It said that before around 1960 it was thought that humans were the only species to use tools. After discovering the same for chimps, Louis Leaky said “Now we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as human.”
> It reads like the dosage was also a bit too high for the first time, and while I appreciate medical purity levels in things the doc can give you, injecting everything is just ew.

I agree this would provide for increased coherency, but the additional indirection is hardly ideal. And really it's just kicking the caching problem up to a super-object that will probably be thrashed much harder than any individual file, and may be larger than each individual file.

Cause Zapier is a business that doesn't have a moat.

As a coder, I think the "API integration" is one of the easiest things to code up and if one is disciplined about things like "where do I keep the configuration files?" and "how do I write a command line program in Java?" so you waste very little time with accidental complexity, it is easy to maintain.

Zapier did appeal to business people for reasons that baffle me (e.g. I think how every "enterprise search" product boasts that it has 300 integrations to other products but not about relevance which might not be too good -- the integrations are easy but the search quality is very hard)

Insofar as people have any friction around Zapier they are going to find other ways to scratch that itch.
Speaking only for us (trigger.dev founder here): In our last X products we've used two different solutions for accomplishing two tasks together: event-driven architecture and integrating 3rd party APIs. We noticed that these two concerns were intertwined, and weren't happy with how the existing solutions only solved for just 1 (leaving us to build the other). We also noticed how well tools like n8n and Zapier solved these problems, but at the UI layer, and we wanted something like those tools but in code. Hence the creation of trigger.dev.
Right. It would seem that without a heuristic model, mixing nonfiction with our fiction is a recipe for disaster.
For the record, the 12 steps were established by a group of long-term, hard-core alcoholics who were literally dying from their decades of excessive consumption and still could not stop. "Giving it up to God" helped that specific group.

And now we call every guy who goes on a bender an alcoholic and send them to AA though most people drink less as they get older without any intervention of any kind.
Did you seriously just suggest that people should ignore treatment suggestions by real doctors and go to a rave? And then have the gall to call the author irresponsible?

This is one of the many reasons why normal people are disgusted by rave culture.
I am not so sure - if you owned a million shares of IBM plc and suddenly the CEO moved all the assets into JBM plc and you owned a million shares of f'all it looks a lot like fraud.

If you get handed a million shares of JBM you will want to be really sure they are equivalent or it's fraud. Does JBM have the same reputation? The same goodwill? Not if IBM is getting shutdown ... fraud again I suspect.

I take your point that there are ways around it. But imagine a slightly different scenario - every twenty years each marriage was dissolved and you had to sign a new contract to remain married - else divorce. Most people will just have an excuse to throw a party but ...

What do you think will happen to the divorce rate? And will those people find better partners afterwards? Will the mean happiness increase ?
