The findings of this one study should be rigorously evaluated and replicated first, not that much of our public policy is based on any kind of evidence but that would be the right way to go about it.

> The overlap between anxiety symptoms and LC symptoms can be pretty high, to the point where the venn diagram becomes just a circle. It's definitely not anxiety, but at least one hypothesis is that your body kind of gets stuck in anxiety mode, even though mentally you aren't anxious.

Whoa, I have joked about LC myself a few times, because I am exhausted all the time but cannot sleep because I'm constantly thinking and "buzzing". I just the other day was thinking, "boy, this sure feels like I've been having a low-grade anxiety attack for like months or years now..." but I passed it off as a stupid thought. Now I am not so sure that I'm not having a low-grade, constant anxiety attack. I have had to medicate (doctor supervised) almost continuously to reduce the effects of the anxiety I feel, and I feel like it's not going away. I have gone through quite a bit of mental health stuff over the past 2 decades, so even being semi-knowledgeable about myself and what anxiety is, I guess I just overlooked these effects for a while. I was doing so great on the mental health front until this pandemic hit! Do you have any groups you follow that I could go read through that might give me some ideas on how to better combat these effects, assuming they're somehow anxiety related?
Even in ‘07, Apple had a track record for doing things right, not doing things first.

Current-day Google churns out sterile, uninspiring products, and kills them.

If your argument is “this company is going to act out of character and do something innovative!” then…yeah, sure. That’s a good way to be right, sometimes. Just don’t let everyone see the majority of the time where you’ve been wrong.
> It's rather difficult to feel strong negative emotion while on MDMA.

This is patently incorrect.

My experience is that MDMA makes one feel emotions much more intensely, with a bias towards positive emotions.

I've personally felt a number of negative emotions on MDMA as well, primarily loneliness when I've taken it alone, or ended up alone after taking it. This makes sense because it makes one strongly desire physical intimacy and physical touch of various kinds (hugs, shoulder rubs, compliments, deep expressions of love, etc)

Even the negative emotions I've experienced on it have however generally occurred at the same time of very positive physical sensations, and a strong sense of connection with myself.
If it breaks your brain less, you can think of it as the tour guide comes off bus 1 comes in and ask if there is enough room. The clerk says yes and the people start filing off the bus. Eventually they all will get a room. Then an hour later a second bus shows up and asks the same. Now the clerk isn’t sure.

Of course you can’t have an infinite hotel. The construction time would be murder and you can only manage so many people so you have an infinite number of cleaning staff reporting to an infinite number of middle managers. And it takes you forever to do pay stubs. But that’s why it’s a thought experiment.

Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014 and took a big chunk. There was lots of talking encouraging of deescalation and what happened?

Putin went for the head shot, attempting to take over the whole country.

As far as he's concerned, the only deescalation is when he controls all of Ukraine, and also any other countries or parts of countries where he's issued people Russian passports.

Just to be clear, I absolutely agree with you. But what's best for the nation is severely circumscribed by what's politically possible. As Lord Acton put it, "Everybody likes to get as much power as circumstances allow, and nobody will vote for a self-denying ordinance."
I think you're thinking of the null hypothesis. Occam's razor would prescribe determining the number of assumptions made by each explanation and preferring the one with fewer. You're introducing a new assumption here, and I don't see how it helps us better understand the evidence. "COVID is more severe than typical viral infections, and so leads to unusual outcomes" is a pretty simple explanation, well supported by the observations you yourself made that it is more contagious and has more severe symptoms than many others.
Did you have it tested? If you look at Erowid’s test reports, so many things that are labeled “Ecstasy” are not wholly or even partly MDMA. Lots of samples are mostly either MDA, meth, other stimulants, a combination of those or other non related chemicals.

Actual, pure MDMA can only ever make you feel good.
I agree with everything you've said there.

Yep, tailscale definitely will do direct routing between nodes if available and only uses the DERP relays if it can't establish a direct connection. It also uses the DERP nodes to help with NAT-busting, and from what I've heard the tailscale NAT busting is "best in class". I can say that in my situation TS is able to establish direct connections between all my nodes, with maybe a couple exceptions.
One of my 'setup steps' when I got my first android phone some years back was to disable as many of the "emergency alerts" as it would allow me to disable.

Cool site! Thanks for sharing. Some notes...

1) There is an existing company with a (possibly too) similar name, BancList [0], which lets people invest in institutions. Notice their use of the word "banc", and the lack of the word "bank" on their website, which is to ensure they don't run afoul of

2) legal misuse of the term "bank" according to some local laws [1], which you should review as well to make sure you aren't breaking any rules in any relevant jurisdiction.

I think you're being somewhat overly negative, but I definitely have some sympathy towards what you're saying.

I like mushrooms. I enjoy them recreationally a few times a year. I think there are benefits to be derived from their use. I think I've derived some of those benefits. But I also think, sometimes, it's just fucking fun to be high at a concert, and I don't think there's anything wrong with doing that in a responsible and safe manner.

I want to see us move in a less prohibition direction, and I think that legalizing psychedelics for therapy could be a boon for many people. But I would also like to live in a world where I can be trusted to consume an occasional dose of a non-addictive, naturally occurring substance without the whole thing being medicalized, regulated, and only allowed to happen with the guidance of a psychiatrist.

I sort of like the approach Ann Arbor took, where they're not illegal for personal possession and cultivation, but also not legal for sale. Seems like a decent balance for personal responsibility to me.

I truly understand the fear and caution around these substances. They require serious forethought and care to be used safely. But at the end of the day, I know I'm more than capable of that forethought and care and resent being told that I'm not allowed to grow a mushroom because psychedelics are scary.

Do you have a stake in the company – options, RSUs, golden handcuffs that you'd be walking away from, or whose value these decisions may be jeopardizing? If not, what are you getting out of staying?

It sounds like you're not aligned with leadership or the business on technical direction/prioritization, and the process of coming to the current technical direction has left you feeling underappreciated and judged for prior choices. It sounds like you're also an IC not in leadership and not embedded with the in group, so not likely to change much (especially if the business views this work as successful). I can't tell whether I'd agree with you on which direction would have made sense here, but it seems like you're just setting yourself up for frustration or worse by staying.

I don't think the OP was counting on prices to drop; rather, they were waiting for others to be priced out (hence higher supply for them). It's still debatable whether folks will sell in this kind of market, but at least for this buyer higher rates mean less competition on the buyer side.
I'm american and my parents were converts so I don't think of myself as being particularly affiliated with any of the ethnic jurisdictions. I usually just find a parish where I like the people and the services are in english.

Often that's OCA (russian-tinged american) but in the past it has been serbian or greek. As you're probably aware it's all technically the same church so there's no barrier or ritual to changing. The differences are mostly just musical style and other aesthetic traditions.

We need to stop operating in black and white (polarized). Some Lindell fans will indeed stop being fans, some will be less of his fans, etc, etc. It's a continuum.

I'm sure you are see as well as I the current problems of today arising from treating everything as Black or White with no shades in between.

This back-and-forth makes me wonder, is it possible to write proofs about proofs? e.g., you cannot prove this result without logarithms or there must exist a proof that involves prime factors?

I suppose at least some proofs vaguely like that are possible because Gödel's incompleteness theorem is one, although I suspect that that same theorem puts some constraints on these "metaproofs."
The government is far and away the largest player in residential housing. From zoning rules; through Freddie and Frannie; to extensive state regulations of foreclosures; to the mortgage interest deduction; and in hundreds of other ways governments at the federal, state, and local level have heavily shaped how Americans buy and sell houses.

If you are unhappy with how it’s working, the answer is not disinterested and hands-off government.

> Unfortunately, high mortgage rates also work to reduce supply. A lot of homeowners who locked in 3-ish% mortgage rates in the last couple years don't want to move unless absolutely necessary, because that would mean refinancing at a higher rate.

That factoid gets parroted in every article about the housing market, but the fact is that for the vast majority of homeowners, when they sell their house, they are also simultaneously buying a house. So if more of them choose to sit on the sidelines, that reduces both the supply and the demand equally.

Interest rates might have an impact on investor-types, in a way that could move the market (for example if more investors postpone selling in favor of renting to keep their low rates). But investors tend to have shorter duration and/or ARM mortgages (because the 30 year is for the most part only available for primary homes), which means that the higher rates will catch up to them eventually. The CRE market is a good example of how that is playing out.

I like that it allows me to pick my country from the list but I'm confused by the results, they seem to completely ignore the country filter? I'd prefer an empty result set (instead of a list of banks that don't match my search query).

Doesn't seem any worse for screen readers than for the rest of us.
I'm not sure they reached the Max Q they were after. Sure the announcer said those words, but given how many engines were out very early, they were not likely at the intended altitude or speed. You can see when the call out Max Q, the vehicle is already travelling at an angle, not in line with the trajectory. You can also hear a time gap between when the announcer says "max q" at the intended time and when control says it later, when even more engines are out.

The launch pad is not in great shape either https://twitter.com/LabPadre/status/1649062784167030785
None? There is nothing actionable here.

We already know PFAS are dangerous for other reasons and the war against them is warming up.

And policy is not/should not be made based on just one study. Sadly, there are too many contradicting studies. Things like this need to be re-checked so that policymakers and societies don't waste time chasing things that don't bring any results.

Even then, we need to understand what is magnitude of this effect, what level of PFAS translate to what increase in obesity risk, etc. Then put it in context of already planned PFAS reductions.

Then if I was policymaker I would also look at what are potential projects we are not working on and where are highest return on investments. Just because there is something you can fix doesn't mean you should fix it. There might be another thing with more ROI where you should be spending your efforts.

That is assuming the conclusions of this study are correct, which I don't believe they are.
Their business model isn't based on website CPM, but on producing "impact" that gets them recognition and appreciation. Their recent stories on Clarence Thomas [0] dominated the news cycle last week. Even if the website story page got just 1M hits, far more people saw the story via other media outlets and government officials citing it. When PP puts out fundraising pitches, the Thomas story will be a highlight for this year.

It's worth noting that investigative work has always been like this. Even before news orgs had web analytics, they knew that a multi-month investigation into government spending/corruption might be a few thousand or just hundred readers, but as long as those readers included people in positions of power and influence -- e.g. a member of congress who can call for a congressional hearing -- then that boosts the newspaper brand and influence as much as any popular story.

PP focuses on investigative work rather than general news. It doesn't publish frequently enough, or about any specific topic, to drive regular annual readership (i.e. subscribers) -- I doubt there are many people who'd check PP's homepage on a daily or even weekly basis. So, better to attract charitable foundation grants and small donor contributions than to do a subscriber paywall.

Now you're talking about something else. Whether the entity calling you and claiming to be your bank is, in fact, your bank is a separate issue from whether it's an AI or a human. It could be a robocall from your bank trying to upsell you on some financial product and it would still be from your bank. It could be a live human being claiming to be your bank when they're not.

And we know how to solve that one. If you get an email from bank.com, your email server knows how to verify that it was actually from the servers of bank.com, using certificates and DNS records etc. This is technology we could also apply to phone calls, notwithstanding that we haven't, and do so without any government action. Google and Apple could implement this right now if they cared to.

But that doesn't prevent spam. Because the spammer doesn't have to claim to be bank.com in particular. They can go register somethingthatsoundslikeabank.com and send their spam from there. Then you receive their spam/calls because you want to be able to receive legitimate ones from people without whitelisting them individually and the spam domain hasn't been spamming long enough to get blacklisted yet.

Real solutions look something like this: To send mail from a.example.com to user@b.example.com, a.example.com has to generate a computationally expensive hash containing their domain name and the target email address. Or transfer a few cents worth of cryptocurrency to the target in exchange for a signature of that pairing. New mail servers then have to do a lot of initial computation but once they've computed/bought hashes of 99% of the people their users communicate with they can cache the results and they're done. Spammers have to keep redoing the expensive computation every time one of their domains gets blacklisted.

Then you can AI generate all the spam you like, but if the recipients don't want it, your domains are going to get blocked, which would be expensive.
