> This nonsense can be said of vitamins/supplements.

That is a silly comparison. Vitamins are essential to life and prevent disease. They are not psychoactive substances.

People microdose hallucinogens to "improve productivity, creativity and mood". That is an obvious detectable effect. These are potent psychoactive substances. Microdosing is comparable to caffeine and nicotine, not vitamins.

> My own limited experience microdosing psilocybin

Not a typical experience. Sounds like you nano-dosed on weak shrooms.

Looks great. What type of feedback are you looking for? [1]

Also curious what got you interested in building this specific product?

Either way seems like a great start

He's missing the point.

This isn't really about how productive you are after N hours. It's about how many hours are expected of you.

It's a little disgusting that the only way workers can make a case that reduced demands be placed on them, is by arguing that this would support their employers' interests. The 40 hour workweek was not instituted solely for shareholders' benefit. It was instituted because that's what workers wanted, and they fought for what they wanted, the end. Their interests.

There is work and there is play. If I am "accountable" -- if somebody can smack me for failing, if I need to do it to pay the rent or to fund a retirement -- then it's work. Work demands are pure liabilities. Every rational person seeks to reduce their liabilities.

Once you've met those obligations, that doesn't mean you stop learning or stop accomplishing things. But now you can focus on the things that really seem to matter, that you are really interested in.

This is why people want to reduce their work obligations. Sure, part of it is laziness. Part of the time will be frittered away on YouTube. But some of it will be spent on other, valuable, pursuits.

When I was a kid, I taught myself to program, during summer vacation. Why? Because I didn't have homework.

This is about reducing the amount of time during which you have to do what you're told. This is about human freedom.

Whether productivity, narrowly conceived, goes up or down, does not matter, so long as enough still gets done. Without "enough", the demand will always be for "more, more, more".
That's like saying people who sign NDAs lose their human rights.
> After becoming an informant, Chappel became the group's "XO", or executive officer, the second-highest rank in the group,[99] and then its highest-ranked officer after Morrison departed the group due to marital problems.[99] Chappel taught the group tactical skills he had learned in the U.S. Army,[99] offered the group use of a credit card (paid for by the FBI) to buy ammunition and supplies,[100] and in summer 2020 spent hours on the phone with Fox planning the kidnapping.[99]

So the leader of the group who was supplying the group was also being supplied by the FBI and was an informant for the FBI and acting under the FBI's direction. I don't know how you can get much more convincing then the lead dude who is spending hours planning it and who will got all the supplies was 100% of the FBI's pocket and then come to the belief that the FBI didn't directly instigate it.
It's unfortunately very necessary to know the exact sentence to be able to understand what your friend was experiencing there. I very much doubt that it's an unfixably ingrained part of the German language based on sentence structure and rather a specific message he heard.

Unlike the numbers below 100, e.g. 24 = "Vierundzwanzig" and not "Zwanzigvier" like in English.
> looking for precursor patterns in an ad hoc way, with no physical theory in mind

A bit of skepticism is healthy but some of these threads are approaching downright dismissive.

There's a long history of research in this area to be aware of, though I know the paper in question doesn't elaborate on it.

Here's one physical theory for you, straight from NASA [1].

> In the ionosphere, the solar winds generate electrical currents. On the Earth surface, these currents cause magnetic field fluctuations. These fluctuations, penetrating the Earth interior, induce the electrical currents J, and, in the presence of the Earth magnetic field B, generate electromagnetic force, known as Lorentz force F = J × B. To study the relation of earthquakes and the Lorentz force, acting at the near onset times of strong earthquakes, we examine the Kp index, a logarithmic measure of the magnetic field deviation. The time varying Kp index gives us J, which in turn determines F.

> The Lorentz force tilts the subtle force balance in the earth crust towards triggering the release of stress strain energy, initiating an earthquake in a similar way as a mountain climber’s step can trigger the avalanches. The internal dynamics, however, are highly statistical.

> We find that the distinctive patterns of the Kp surges often strongly correlate to the onset of earthquake. This correlation depends on the seismic regions and the magnitudes of earthquakes. The stronger the earthquake is, more closely the Kp surge is associated. The statistical significance of nearly 100% is obtained for the Kp variations, synchronizing with more earthquakes in the Pacific Rim region.

With the classic early 2000s model of PHPBB at least you only trust each “sub” individually and they don’t have enough power or resources to fuck you up. That is why say, random example: https://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/index.php has not introduced all the reddit shit despite being just as old. If it were a sub or on your alternative it would be subject to all that.

What would be good is a modern enough Reddit clone, open source, that you can selfhost once per subreddit and one or more places that will host that (like you can get wordpress hosting from 1000 places). Maybe have some free ones that run ads but still run the same basic software and do it free.

What you will have is some localised issues but no one has the power to change everything and pull the rug on millions.
I'm sure many people want a repairable smartphone and a replaceable battery. Of course, there are many that don't. I don't understand how it make sense to force those people, that don't want a repairable phone and a replaceable battery, to get such a smartphone.
I don't know who "we" is either. Which means I'm just extra confused by the large number of ad-blocker-blockers that exist on the internet. I mean, what disobedience surface are they even targeting? Literally nobody blocks ads, it's an urban legend! xD

Wow, i'd heard general political complaints about Huawei but never stuff like this:

"The day the TDC team set up in Plesner’s offices, the law firm’s IT systems came under a denial-of-service hacking attack."

"At 12:20 a.m. on March 20, a security guard patrolling the Plesner offices noticed lights floating outside the 15th-floor room where TDC’s team had been working. Peering into the glare, he saw a large drone. For 10 minutes it remained there, flying up, down and sideways. Then it descended out of sight. Upon learning of the incident the following morning, the TDC investigators realized they’d failed to close the shades in the office. There was a wall-size whiteboard facing the windows on which they’d been tracing all of their leads, and it would have been in full view."

Makes it much more clear why there was so much saber-rattling about them.

I hate to respond to your questions with more questions but the novelty of your's compels me to do so. Please do not take offense.

How do you reconcile the differences between the private nature of communications like text/emails vis-à-vis comments on a public forum?

> If they don't respect your consent, why should anyone respect theirs?

I'm interpreting "they" as Reddit (or any large media corp.), would I be wrong to interpret "anyone" in this context as a state actor?
Two scenarios I have used them for:

1. Short running batch jobs activated by events i.e. new S3 file, entry in a dynamic db database. The start up time is not a problem for these.

2. Serverless api sitting behind an api gateway. Again the startup latency is no problem.

I used .NET core for these and the startup latency was never a problem. Haven't tried node, I imagine it might be an issue there since the runtime might have to hoist all your javascript.

Après moi, le déluge.
I think shorter work weeks are in demand because no one gets to unplug. Work comes at many knowledge workers near 24/7. Night? Weekend? Vacation? Doesn’t matter. Someone higher up the org chart can reach out to you and will expect you to respond. Under that constant bombardment the number of hours actually worked is always going to be greater than regular office hours indicate. To combat this reducing “working days” from 5 to 4 helps keep hours reasonable.

My concern is lack of content / discussion - you have to hope that there are users in that small community that are willing to generate good content, and there are users to contribute to the discussion around it.
You shouldn’t burn out, and we should design a system that doesn’t make you burn out, and then you won’t have to arrange your workflow around compensating for your burning out.

In all seriousness this topic falls squarely into the square of "strong opinion, weakly held" as far as I'm concerned - nobody except people like us actually cares. That being said I've yet to hear a cogent argument for the contrary position... I make music for the audience, not for musicians.
Well 6 hours of focused work is really good. 2-3 hours of sleep windows isn't enough for REM/deep I'd imagine which is the crazy thing.
I found it interesting to see how (mis)translation and biased researchers were able to put forth a false narrative, and for decades thereafter many took it at face value and continued to share the faulty information.

At the risk of sabotaging stuff I've worked on, it's _astoundingly easy_ to glue together Y.js, prosemirror, and a little bit of express.js to get a distributed Notion clone with conflict free resolution.

Like I have something that I got working in 3 days with multiple pages, so links between things, and cursor syncing (most of this work is provided by wonderful people with full-featured libraries!). There's some trickiness with how Y.js actually works (in particular map ID conflict resolution meaning you don't want a dictionary of page names to pages but UUIDs and then some sort of manual revision checking....). But you can get that and probably with a bit more work get ~instant search and the like. All with free offline capabilities.

Of course then I stared at this and was like "I like notion because it looks nice" (I personally don't care about the AI stuff or the database stuff), so just went and paid for notion for my family usage.

Power of attorney- no real help, you are dead.
Depending on your country....
When you die your estate "owns" everything and only your estate can operate it.

But any property in joint names AUTOMATICALLY becomes the property of the joint owner and IS NOT subject to any restrictions

What????

In most jurisdictions, the law says the executor of your will can operate on the will, its contents etc, but there are strict legal requirements and it is NOT automatic. A court usually has to OK it.

In Australia it is a probate court. It takes several weeks to make sure the will in question is the real and most recent.

As a general case, the courts allow the estate to pay for things like funerals etc.

If there is no will then someone has to apply to the courts for administration.

Your "next of kin" is a Hollywood dramatization and in Australia has absolutely no actual power to do anything.

Usually the "next of kin" will actually do the organizing to inform the executor (if the executor doesn't know)

So the important things to put in your "In case of Death file"
Location of will
Name of Executor
Burial insurance details (if you have any)

Location of a secondary file for the executor with email account and website account passwords, Bank Account details, Insurance policy details
Location of a secondary file for the executor with email account and website account passwords, in short everything the executor needs.

I also have a document containing the "order of my life"

This is how I have organized my life.
Whose name the cars/boat/golf buggy is in, what insurance companies, Utility companies for power water and services, clubs I am members of, things like roadside assistance etc.
How I buy and sell my equities and shares, who I am paying hush money to and who is blackmailing me from porn hub.
Basically all the minor things I do in everyday life.

If you are uncomfortable with this topic, if nothing else investigate an "Enduring Power of Attorney" (it may be called something else in your jurisdiction).

This expires with your death but it allows the holder to make medical and other decisions should you become unable to make decisions for yourself (dementia, coma, stroke accidents that leave you in a vegetative stake)
(In Australia a spouse has that right automatically but if your spouse is unable to make that decision (died in the same accident, has dementia etc) then you NEED an Enduring Power of Attorney).
Your children do not have the right and your executor in the future can take legal action against them)

This is way more important than a "in case of death file"
More like 5-HTP IMO.

Thanks for mentioning kbin - I tried that and it's better than everything else UI-wise. Not quite as good as old Reddit but good enough! Now just to solve the problem that it's a ghost town for the communities I'm interested in.
content-editable is a crap shoot without some JS layer on top of it normalized the output. Otherwise you end up with the same visual output being able to defined as 50 different inputs.

The other thing is content editable allows all kinds of garbage to be pasted into it included any kind of inline style.

Now I maintain a fork of Htmlawed which can do a pretty decent job of filtering down arbitrary HTML into a safe and restricted subset but with no JS there can be a huge disconnect between what the user sees in their editor and what appears as the sanitized output.

As a result I’m currently using SlateJS as a rich text editor foundation. I’ve used others in the past but this is the nicest so far.
Rich text editing is probably not possible or not worth it.

However, most people who disable JS are probably fine with not using rich text and definitely shouldn’t expect it. Just add a CSS stylesheet which turns <textarea> into something half-decent, put a note that markdown is supported, and make a plain text editor.
I just posted a comment elsewhere to this effect, but as a extremely light Twitter user (have an account, don’t post, click on a handful of links to Twitter posts a week), really basic functionality has become mostly unusable for me since the buyout. Like, a good portion of the time, the site doesn’t even load for me. Video rarely works. The one time since then I tried to log into my account, it took probably 20 minutes between demented captchas and getting kicked back to the start of the process. And I’m not even talking about any higher level functionality or whatever the subjective experience as a poster is like, just simple passive viewing.

Obviously a lot of people were unduly pessimistic about Twitter’s technical resilience, but from what I can see, it does not seem to be a well oiled machine.
I haven't asked my employer, but I suspect they would not be willing to allow me to work a 4-day work week, even if I accepted a commensurately lower salary.
Yes, but channels are updated less often and it's very unusual to put an application git repository into one.

In Denmark this is a standard feature of fixed-rate mortgages.

The rate for fixed rate mortgages is now around 4-5% p.a. If you had taken out a 30-year fixed rate mortgage for $100k when rates were around 1%, you can now prepay it for just $70k, i.e., at around a 30% discount.

Another interesting feature is that the mortgage can stay with the property when it is sold (subject to the lender approving the new owner). This means that the current economic value of the mortgage can be factored into the purchase price.
Pretty awesome.

Wish, it doesn't rely on any framework and can be plug & play with other frameworks.

The HAARP conspiracy theories are fun and date back to the old days of conspiracy theories when people wore tin foil hats and worried about government mind rays. Not at all based in reality or sensible but at least those conspiracies were harmless and non-political.

There isnt much about genes. John Carmack is fortunate enough to do what he likes and what he likes seems to generate revenue. When you do something you enjoy and are in control of your own fate believe me you can work longer hours without noticing.

Even the slightest adjustment to your liking can increase your productivity. Thats why people working from home, in a nice environment are more productive than those in a forced environment. Even cattle produce more milk when they are in an environment they like.

Yes and now you've identified yet another way to make them pay.
What, really, is the impact of a compromised nuclear casket in a remote, unpopulated area above ground? What is the impact buried just 100 feet deep in an unpopulated area? Someone would have to excavate the uranium and either spend loads of time around it or move it to a populated area.

Water contamination from naturally occurring uranium is a bigger risk than nuclear waste (uranium, like lead, can cause heavy metal poisoning independent of radioactivity). Chemical waste from non-nuclear industries are far more hazardous than nuclear waste, yet the latter is for some reason an enormously larger concern. If you're worried about generational risk, there are plenty of things an order of magnitude more concerning than nuclear waste.
