> the brown powder which is typically considered less likely to be adulterated

This is a very common misconception. Just because MDMA is sold in powder form does not make it less likely to be adulterated, and color is a misleading (and easily manipulated) heuristic.

You can test for the presence of hypothesized adulterants, though most people unfortunately don't, and tests will fail to detect heterogeneous adulterants or adulterants in small quantities. Furthermore, reagants test for the presence of specific hypothesized adulterants; they cannot test for the absence.

The only way to be 100% sure is to use a mass spectrometer, and very few people will have access to use a mass spectrometer for testing street drugs outside of law enforcement (who emphatically cannot be trusted for these purposes[0]). That leaves clinicians, researchers, and a small number of groups who perform drug testing services for recreational users. From those, we have a pretty good sense that unadulterated MDMA is quite rare[1], which means that comparing subjective experiences of recreational (street) drug use to subjective experiences of pharmaceutical drug use is methodologically fraught.

> You can’t just look at the structures or names and assume that fully explains the effects.

I did not say that it fully explains the effects. However, it does provide some information. And in this particular case, the differences are dramatically overstated, due to the massive difference in set, setting, dosage, and chemical composition (possible adulterants).

My point is that you can't compare your subjective experience of these two drugs to draw the conclusion you're drawing, because there are many different confounding variables that would each explain the difference in effect you're describing, let alone in combination.

Again, I do agree that MDMA should not be used as a treatment for ADHD. I'm just pointing out the problem in drawing this conclusion based on subjective personal (and presumably recreational) experiences with the drug.

[0] Law enforcement routinely lies about and misrepresents facts around drugs, for various purposes. It's most commonly seen with regards to fentanyl, but by and large you can't trust LEO claims about tests performed on any drugs seized without independent means of corroboration.

[1] That doesn't mean that the adulterated versions are necessarily harmful, but it does provide an additional wrinkle when using it to draw inferences about hypothetical clinical use (which would not have any adulterants).

Yes, we saw your other comment stating the same thing.

The whole world can thank the Trump administration and Operation Warp Speed [0].

It provided billions of dollars and firm orders for any manufacturer who could get it's vaccine candidate on the market. All paid for by the American tax payer, of course. To fight a disease that most likely originated in a Chinese lab.

Without it it would have been months of additional delay for R&D and production (see the vaccines not selected for Warp Speed or the CanSino program in Canada[1])

Hey, one of the Suno founders/creators of Bark here. Thanks for all the comments, we love seeing how we can improve things in the future. At Suno we work on audio foundation models, creating speech, music, sounds effects etc….

Text to speech was a natural playground for us to share with the community and get some feedback. Given that this model is a full GPT model, the text input is merely a guidance and the model can technically create any audio from scratch even without input text, aka hallucinations or audio continuation.

When used as a TTS model, it’s very different from the awesome high quality TTS models already available. It produces a wider range of audio – that could be a high quality studio recording of an actor or the same text leading to two people shouting in an argument at a noisy bar. Excited to see what the community can build and what we can learn for future products.

Please let us know with any feedback, or if you’re interested in working on this: bark@suno.ai

The lockdowns weren't there to stop you spending a day in bed. They were broadly to protect those who had the highest risk of getting seriously ill from covid.

And actually, they didn't really care about those people, it was just that if those people were blocking up hospital beds, 'the rest of us' were going to start dying from the normal totally treatable things that happen to us. It was really about limiting the wider impacts, not helping someone in their 80s live a other 5 years (though I totally believe someone in their 80s or at any increased risk deserves that respect and support from the rest of society, and deserves people making small adjustments to protect them)

The installability of said Web apps was a thing prior to Chrome's announcement of the introduction of the "screenshots" property to the installation manifest. You are not answering the question that the person you responded to actually asked.

You're on a Web site. It has an "Install" button that you can click. Following the change announced in this post, the popup that overlays the page content can now contain a screenshot of the site operator's choosing when Chrome prompts you to confirm installation—a screenshot that could just as easily appear on the page—i.e. the one that you are already on and that contains the install button you just clicked. The question, then, is: ignoring all the puffery and filler the blog post, what _actual_ problem does this (the "screenshots" property—and not a PWA in general) actually solve?

(Alternatively, you can say something like how you were so excited when it seemed like there was an opportunity to post a vaguely cynical and nearly zero-effort quip related to installable Web apps vs Electron that you came in firing from the hip which resulted in what, as it turns out, was a response to a different question that nobody here was actually asking. It's as simple as saying, "Oops. I was mixed up, and I don't have such a big ego that I can't admit this nor one that requires me to pretend that this is what I meant by my original comment in this thread all along.")
If MDMA is approved as a treatment drug it will undoubtedly by a schedule 2 drug only administered at a doctor’s office. The key idea is MDMA assisted therapy.

MDMA is used as therapeutic grease. People with PTSD frequently can’t talk about or otherwise process what happened to them without reliving the event(s) and re-traumatizing them. MDMA tamps down the fear response and makes them more open to communication. It frequently makes people want to connect to someone else which also helps with therapy. MDMA isn’t what relives the PTSD, it is the therapy.

If I recall the MAPS study, patients were given 2-3 doses of MDMA over 8 months of therapy.

The interesting thing about DS9 was that it was the foil to TOS/TNG/V's idealism. It was set in orbit of a hyper-religious planet, where the Federation's liberal, enlightened mores and rules and regulations failed to mesh with radical zealotry, racism, and institutional corruption. The Captain was jaded from the loss of his wife, and got dropped in an environment where everything the Federation stood for was oil trying to mix with water and where he had to bend the rules to get anything done. (This was all pre-Iraq War!)

Besides the fact that it wouldn't sell as much as ADHD schlock today (nothing good ever sells the most), I don't even know if, as a culture, our philosophical development has advanced enough to have anything more to say. What did we learn from the Iraq War, after all? Isolationism is good, actually? We should have tried harder?
I think the thing that a lot of people are still stuck at is the NASA attitude of "we've spent a lot of money on this already, we Need to make sure it works first try".

Whereas SpaceX is more like Kerbal Space Program in that if it blows up, at least you're having fun.

And while they had some failures early on with their early rockets, the Falcon 9 is now a very reliable craft that's done dozens of successful missions, successful recoveries (which I think they still consider a bonus rather than a goal) and re-uses, and a streamlined launch process, which has become more economic - and possibly profitable - over time.

I will add "possibly" profitable though, given that it feels like the majority of their launches is for their own Starlink project, which is costing them billions - but it's a project to ensure use and reuse of their rockets, instead of the company going stale waiting for customers.

I'm really not sure where people are getting this entire idea that one is civil and the other is criminal. I'm guessing they're just making it up or making an assumption that is completely wrong. The fine that is being levied against Seagate is not a criminal fine it is a civil fine. Criminal proceedings would have been launched and adjudicated in court likely resulting in a jail time for people. This is very uncommon and instead the civil penalties for the infraction are what is pursued which is exactly what was done in this case.

Except for one being a defamation case and the other being an export violation case these are apples to apples comparisons. These are both civil violations and these are both negotiated deals between the parties.

Fox News managed to settle for about half of what the case was asking for which is likely very decent to deal for them as I think they would have lost big time and you never know what a jury will award in a case like this. They got a pretty safe deal although quite costly.

Seagate on the other hand was given the deal of a lifetime for their violation. If you look up the maximum penalties allowed to be sought it is twice the amount of the transaction which is the basis for the violation. Reading the article the violation is 1.1 billion dollars. So the maximum penalty should have been 2.2 billion. They were let off with a measly 300 million.

This is not about a lobbying the government for stiffer penalties, because those penalties are on the books already, this is about the government giving Seagate a sweetheart deal because people in the department of commerce are setting up future positions to work in companies like this. I would suggest you take a long hard look and you see where a bureaucrats that work for these government organizations go to once they leave these organizations.

It was a colossal blunder to keep the Buzzfeed branding. Every time I saw one of Buzzfeed News' excellent investigative journalism projects published or talked about online, the conversation about them vs. Buzzfeed was the dominant one.

This thread is no different.
I don't think it's that great of news. If you're waiting for something like a 10% or 20% drop in prices (remember that this varies and is market dependent) you're probably going to keep waiting.

The problem here is that when interest rates go up, those who locked in historically low interest rates are going to be less likely to sell their homes. Those who have to sell their homes aren't going to reduce the price by 20% just to sell, more like they'll sell at current market prices (which are still way up) or just sit on the house instead of taking a loss or too large of a discount.

On top of that, higher interest rates mean it's more expensive to build new homes. So you get less supply.

My mental model for home prices is that there are some general fluctuations and such but the overall market trend will continue to be neutral to positive and rates will grow as well. The "rates are high so prices must come down" mechanic is far too simplistic and unrealistic.

Actually the British took away consent for royals to rule vis the Magna Carta and so on. So maybe not a great example.

Today the king has only the right to be told, and the right to be heard. Parliament does the rest (i.e. laws and rules).

Further, it's fair to say that legitimacy has a lot of interpretations. If it's 'they are legitimate because they have power' then the definition is circular.

I mean, we're in a thread discussing a bunch of money allocated to look deeper into one aspect, and there have been continual studies throughout the pandemic, so I'm not sure who opposes the point of looking deeper.

But I think that you're actually claiming you know the answer: "How much did we spend on covid with a 30 month achievement to show for it?"

You seem pretty certain with that phrasing that the actions taken were either ineffective at best or counterproductive at worst. Without any broader discussion other than "here is a stat on past pandemics" and "here is a stat on current spending." That's not looking deeper.

You complain about a different commenter pointing that there have been much worse ones as well. But you aren't actually doing much different other than saying "sometimes they don't last as long, what did we do wrong???" There's been a lot of discussion and study of transmission rate vs fatality rate vs incubation period etc that covers how this particular disease is different than many of the ones in that "average", and how that should change your expectations, go look it up. This is directly relevant to your "we actually were told that what was recommended was expected to shorten this black swan pandemic" thing - the data that early recommendations on was preliminary, and as more results came in, policies changed. March 2020 was different than September 2020 was different than March 2021 was different than October 2021 was different than post-spring-2022...

Cause otherwise your "it could've been better" is backed up with not much more than anyone else's "it could've been worse."

> IMO, we (as a whole) should spend less time spreading ANY information online, use more time to think before speak

When it comes to insensitive tweets vomited out over the internet I totally agree. Though even those of us more considerate can contribute to this by simply not following people who do that. I'm personally not even using Twitter at all and I never did even before Musk took it over. I find the signal/noise ratio way too low there and anything really interesting there makes Hacker News anyway. But anyway that's a tangent.

So, if you read something that really makes you think: "Wow that's really an insensitive hot take", just block the person from your feeds, no matter who they are. Especially if it's not the first time. Makes your life a lot more relaxing. And it's more effective than wishing that haters are gonna stop hating.

However this particular article was thoughtful and came with a lot of explanations, diagrams and source links. It was pretty hard criticism of SpaceX and the FAA but it was not agressive or flaming. To me it seems pretty well thought out and it gives balance to a complex story by showing a side to it I wasn't aware of yet. Not saying the story itself is balanced, but it gives balance to the other media which are overwhelmingly positive and don't cover the ecological side at all.

In other words, this is not the thing that should be cut from being spread online, in my opinion.

The author has clearly written about this before but that doesn't necessarily invalidate them or make them biased. They can also simply be right and been ignored so they keep writing about it. When you 'go fast and break things' it's important to consider the things you are breaking, even if they are not very obvious. One of the questions that comes to my mind is: "Why is this thing even in the middle of protected habitats?"

From the launch commentary, the rocket is designed to do a 180 at that altitude for the separation event. So a couple extra rotations isn’t going to hurt anything. Additionally, air density at 100k ft is ~1/80th of sea level, which helps.
