> But it’s not clear under what circumstances the companies will be able to sell the drugs

Only because your article wouldn’t have any bite if you told the truth.

It is clear. Health Canada clarified already: it’s for research and prescribed use in rather limited cases.

The hack author wants you to feel a narrative that they’re going to just start selling cocaine to the public.

> In a statement to VICE News, Health Canada said Adastra is licensed to produce the drugs for scientific and medical purposes but cannot sell products to the general public.

Oh, so you do know. Rendering your earlier sentence wrong. In the same article.
Conversely when i was in a similar situation, my marriage was the thing that helped carry me through. She was a rock and gave me the kind of support i wasnt really getting anywhere else. But we also shared the journey (hers and mine) and that experience in itself is more valuable than my degree (which i neither use nor rarely reference).

IMHO the reality is a marriage os neither something required nor something to avoid, it lies along side professional life and again IMHO, recommending one to get married or not doesnt deserve a place alongside how one should pursue their career goals. They should be equally pursued in a balanced fashion suited to the individual.
In both cases the psychoactive is the same but the concentration is different. It is a fair nuance you bring up that an unregulated refining and cutting process has a lot of variability in its amount which can mean taking a rather large amount.
While drinking a beer can have more total alcohol than a shot of whiskey, the social stigma is there for reasons. Concentrated consumption is on a different level in terms of behavior and results. I frequently see people have a single beer over a meal, but I don't usually see people have just one shot of whisky...
Mate, I'm very confused.

The first result in Google [1] which I often use, lets me paste a unix timestamp in seconds, milliseconds or nano seconds, and it accordingly converts it to a Human readable string.

Is that not the feature you built this for?

This is also what enables nearly latency-free keyboard response at 60Hz polling, something most modern implementations can only dream of. (The latency of modern keyboard communications is also an issue with emulation.)

BTW, this architecture really goes back to the PET 2001 (1977), which even comes with a detailed keyboard matrix diagram in the manual.

Commodore does a good job there (just before and after the diagram) of selling the advantages and disadvantages:

> Until that key is released, no other keyboard scans are acknowledged unless a later scanned key is struck. The later scanned key is then considered to be the next key closure. The algorithm does not give classical N key roll over but does allow for legitimate rejection of noise and trapping of the keys in the order that they are struck.

> The keyboard is left scanning the last row, which contains the stop key. This allows the routine in BASIC, that checks for the stop key to sample the input I/O device, without having to perform any of the normal functions of scanning. The user can take advantage of this by reading the input character for that row.
Yeah, this is the specific reason for me. As far as my trains of thought go, every alt-tab or cmd-tab is something close to a guaranteed derailment.

It sucks, because it sure looks fun to do some work in a coffee shop or whatever from time to time!

Intelligence and ability already have a much weaker correlation with wealth and success than familial wealth and sheer luck do. Also, why would one genetic modification be any more expensive than another? This is going to happen anyway, sooner or later. The "oh no it will make rich people richer" argument could be applied to a good chunk of all the technologies ever invented, from automobiles to the internet.

> Maybe really low/no interest loans for first time home buyers so they can at least get into the market.

One big reason homes are priced so high in places like the USA is because home loans are already government subsidized. When people think of what they can afford, they look at their net monthly mortgage payment less the income tax break. And prices seem to rise to meet whatever monthly payment buyers can afford.
I think this is only half of the story. There are still lots of affordable houses - in parts of the country that no one wants to live anymore. The value of my sibling's property in Illinois has barely kept up with inflation.

So I think some of the national statistics about house prices vs number of units are a bit misleading. We're increasingly paying a premium because we are increasingly concentrating where we want to/need to live.

I did say the tea did not get you high. Felt akin to a strong coffee or Red Bull if that. Really did help with the high altitude.

It is also considered sacred and traditional by the indigenous. Probably for that very reason. Yet even at these low concentrations, US officials frequently demand it be outlawed.

Before somebody comes in here railing about government overreach, she was ordered to get treated or stay in isolation in January 2022 and hasn't complied, instead going out in the community and putting others at risk. Moreover, this was her 17th court hearing, so it's not like this was their immediate reaction.

From the article:

> But, the department seemed to reach a breaking point this January. In addition to the woman's defiance hitting the one-year mark, on January 11 she was involved in a car accident as a passenger. The incident clearly showed the woman was violating her self-isolation order, which put the driver at risk of infection. Additionally, the woman went to the emergency department a day later complaining of chest pain and did not tell doctors about her active tuberculosis case, putting them and other hospital staff at risk. When they did lung X-rays, they initially suspected she had cancer. But in fact, the images showed that her tuberculosis case was worsening.
Except Microsoft has kept github basically the same as it was when they bought it, added features regularly and removed the need to pay for certain features that were once premium.

I'd accept your argument if it was say Oracle, but MSFT hasn't done anything "bad" that affects your use of Github.
I'd say it's likely much more banal than that. There are armies of bureaucrats and agents whose livelihood and source of influence is rooted in the war on drugs. It is against their interests to go easy.

Does staying single make it any better? If you check the stats on that, I think you'll find married people tend to be happier, both financially and socially. The fact many marriages don't survive should not necessarily dissuade you from rolling the dice. Just be pickier about who you marry. Pre-marriage counselling can help weed out the improabable marriages.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelyabinsk_meteor

> The Chelyabinsk meteor was a superbolide that entered Earth's atmosphere over the southern Ural region in Russia on 15 February 2013 at about 09:20 YEKT (03:20 UTC). It was caused by an approximately 18 m (59 ft) diameter, 9,100-tonne (10,000-short-ton) near-Earth asteroid that entered the atmosphere at a shallow 18.3 ± 0.4 degree angle with a speed relative to Earth of 19.16 ± 0.15 kilometres per second (69,000 km/h; 42,690 mph).

> [...] The asteroid had a total kinetic energy before atmospheric impact equivalent to the blast yield of 400–500 kilotons of TNT (about 1.4–1.8 PJ), estimated from infrasound and seismic measurements. This was 26 to 33 times as much energy as that released from the atomic bomb detonated at Hiroshima.

If it had been at a slightly sharper angle, or slightly larger, or moving slightly faster, and if it had hit the right location, it could have destroyed a city. Fortunately it disintegrated in the upper atmosphere, so it only blew out windows across a large area as it burned brighter than the sun across the sky.

There was no warning. The Tunguska rock, if it was a rock, was only a few times wider. I don't think we can reliably detect those, either.

> Man, I remember the time when we had to pass a constitutional amendment to make a substance illegal.

You mean the one adopted for alcohol after prohibition started, and which made it so that we had to pass a Constitutional. Amendment to allow the substance?

We always had the choice to do that for other drugs to make it harder to legalize, but its probably a good idea we haven’t.
Having one's morality based on the metaphysics of illiterate desert peasants living two thousand years ago will generally have bad consequences for one's perspective on life, now and here.

I can only imagine the weight on your shoulders right now, and I'm so sorry you're going through this.

You might have felt like giving up on your career goals/social life/life in general at some point. People tell you it gets better, and when you've hit rock bottom it's impossible to believe it, but it does get better when you start taking better care of yourself. As with most skills in life, it is not immediate, however, and requires hard work and commitment. The good news is that it feels great once you decide to commit to yourself, which is the person you forgot about at some point, which allowed you to hit rock bottom.

What worked for me: understand and accept that it is *ok for you to be selfish and focus on yourself*, whatever that means to you. To me, it meant going to the gym every morning and having somebody else take care of the many responsibilities I took upon myself during lockdown, and which allowed me to slip up in my PhD during the last couple of years. It also meant accepting that I won't finish my PhD on my original timeline, and that's ok. The job market is not that great right now anyway, so it is ok if you need take more time. Be gentle with yourself :) The career path that is supposed to be for you will find you, but you need to give it a proper chance by spending some time working on yourself and getting to know your strengths a little better. You might have forgotten them: you wouldn't be a PhD student at a prestigious research group right now if you didn't have them.

Some specific tips that worked for me when I hit rock bottom (though mine was different, we share the PhD aspect of it):

- gym every day, once a day (morning for me, but some friends prefer evenings)

- show up to your lab every day (the energy in your lab is better than at home right now, and if it's not, make your lab better; avoid being by yourself at home)

- decluttering (home, lab, research, commitments, etc: delegate as much as possible, so that you can focus on you what is truly important to you)

- meditation + prayer (specifically, asking for guidance and help to take better care of yourself, and to find the path that is meant for you)

- helping others: there are other folks that are struggling too, they're just not telling you about it. if you noticed someone could use some quick 5min help (listening, coffee, decluttering), help out.

- once you're a little stronger: make an effort to connect more with others everywhere you go (commute, coffee shop, library, gym, lab, uni outside your lab, etc); people usually respond well to communication that is honest, non-judgmental, and that comes from a good place. listen more than you speak. you'll make a lot more friends locally in no time.

Wishing you all the best in your recovery.

I have tried on multiple occasions to migrate to tmux (because gestures vaguely "it's the future", screen's codebase is ancient and can still connect directly to a serial port etc), but I just don't like the primitives that tmux gives you ((servers,) sessions, windows, panes).

I use a nested setup with screen where each level of nesting has a different escape key, this works really well when I want an inner screen to be on a different machine.

screen '-e^Zz' -S meta

and then inside that one

screen '-e^Oo' -S project1

and for a session on a remote machine

mosh some_server -- screen '-e^Oo' -S remote_session_name

I haven't figured out a way to get this to work well with tmux, because the local tmux server doesn't know about the remote tmux sessions. Whereas with screen, screen doesn't need to know or care about that.

(edit: I use shell aliases, I don't type out the '-e^Oo' etc every time)

If we don't expand the housing supply dramatically, additional subsidies to home buyers will lead to even more inflated housing prices, and transferring even more money from the working class (who pay taxes and want to buy houses) to old rich people (who own most of the desirable property).

If we were to expand the housing supply by 20% over the next 5 years I would expect to see house prices and rent crash to a more sustainable level.

Why should this site be treated special? There are many sites that need cleanup due to corporate indifference/skirting the law/rules/regulation. Conservatives have moved regulations from a government oversight/enforcement model to a corporate enforcement/oversight model so what you are asking for isn't really doable/authorized with the current regulations.
> Maybe really low/no interest loans for first time home buyers so they can at least get into the market.

These already exist. There are downpayment assistance programs that go as low as 0% down. We ourselves took advantage of FHA loans twice to buy homes.

If anything, they exacerbate the problem by throwing cheap money at a supply problem.
It was just getting way too long lol. I rarely see comments that length on this site. I could get some of my old university readings for you if you're interested? They come from a science and ethics course, there were some really good discussions on what makes animal research ethical, varying from it never being ethical, to it being ethical only if certain precautions are taken (minimizing pain, treating animals with dignity, not using them on frivolous things like cosmetics, etc.).

edit: there are also just SO many ways moral philosophies start to diverge at that point. Like we're talking about what is "necessary" animal experimentation. It's an important question, and one that really does boil down to a personal exercise.

Like... Personally I have no idea how to answer it. If you remove animal experimentation, well there goes a bunch of carcinogen studies which could result in a lot of human suffering. I also would need to do a ton of research to figure out if BCI research is at a level where primate brains are necessary instead of simpler organisms.

I also need to examine my own lifestyle, since hypocrisy severely undermines moral positions and having integrity/cogent beliefs and actions is essential if we are to engage with these subjects honestly.

For example, personally I have sometimes consumed meat in the last year (although I generally avoid it). Supporting factory farming absolutely violates my deontological moral imperative that "it is wrong to cause unnecessary suffering to others", in a ton of different ways. So who am I to espouse views on how people should behave with regards to animal research, when my own behaviour is in such a state of disarray?

Anyways... Getting pretty long again lol. Hope that response is helpful I know it's a bit rambling.
Take the timestamp "1677951565000123456" for example - If I put it into the link you posted, it just gives me "Saturday, March 4, 2023 11:39:25 AM". While it's a minor drawback, it requires another step to figure out the microsecond and nansecond part of the timestamp since it's not in the output. My website would display "Saturday March 3 2023 11:39:25.000,123,456 AM -06:00 (nanos)", which gives you "000,123,456" telling you the milli,micro,nano breakdown of the timestamp

I think we're just so used to higher-quality audio/video from the last decade in particular; I recently pulled some videos off of my old LG Env2 from high school [to archive the Fall Out Boy/All Time Low concert at The Rave (2010-ish)] that are hilariously poor quality - but it was the best we had at the time haha.
Thanks for the reply. Which practices did you try and/or which one helped you the most? In what ways are you doing better compared to before? What makes you confident that you can attribute the improvements to meditation?
We understand biology extremely poorly. It’s only been twenty years since we got a decent look at the genome, and like 5 since we could start changing it at all reliably. What we’ve found is that human gene regulation is almost immeasurably complex. There are a few cases where we know exactly what changes to make to fix diseases, but they’re rare. Mostly we just have no idea what would happen if we started messing around with human genes. So, I think a measure of humility and caution is warranted before we start editing human embryos.
That’s a core plot element of the new Bladerunner movie. Seems less like science fiction with every passing day.

I have done many things, but I went from IT into being a Technical Director for animation. In my case my income went up, cause reasons, but I think for many folks in pure tech it would be a significant cut. But my coworkers are awesome, my work is fun, I'm pure remote from the shore of Lake Winnipeg. Life is great.

I can't generalize my experience onto the entire labour market, but from what I can see, the whole "gaps in your record" matters a lot less now than it did. My record is abysmal from that perspective, again because reasons, but in animation at least that really doesn't matter. I'm one of many autodidacts here.
