This is the Mediterranean. I am sure most countries know the location of most vessels. If a rich guy would try to cross in wooden plank we would call him adventurer, and I'm sure the effort to rescue him would be far greater.

By not saving people in the Mediterranean, it acts as a deterrent to future attempts.

I've noticed the skeptics here like to raise this argument on every article related to psychedelic research. As if they've found a gaping hole that somehow casts "doubts" on the methodology of decades worth of clinical trials.

Unfortunately this line of thinking doesn't hold up to scrutiny, and completely misses the forest for the trees. Mainly because the only implied alternative is to not blind subjects at all! How exactly would that reduce bias or otherwise improve the clinical trial design...?

> I imagine people guess correctly >90% of the time.

Yes in some cases you're right. Here's a paper from last year that does exactly what you asked [0]. They note that "Placebo could be distinguished well from active substance and correctly identified in 96% of the sessions." The placebos were ethanol and mannitol, for LSD and Psilocybin respectively.

The important takeaway is that subjects still had to guess. They didn't know their group assignment with certainty. And that is key to reducing bias.

I'd really like to see someone articulate a coherent alternative to subject blinding in psychedelic research.

NANOGrav Major Announcement June 29th
I live in a state where the federal government owns a lot of that land that nobody could figure out.

The feds still try to sell it. Nobody buys it, because it's _still_ useless. It's a bad investment to buy shriveled land, build a residence on it that's incredibly far from basic necessities like gasoline and food, and then pay money to have water trucked out to your remote ass.

True, but open source doesn't guarantee that the community will keep maintaining the project, even if there's interest from users. See Atom, etc.

If the main maintainer is a large company, they can decide to shift focus at any point and abandon the project, which puts its existence in jeopardy. (GNU) Emacs and Vim have been around for decades, and they're pretty much guaranteed to be around for many decades to come. As far as long-term investments go, learning and using these is the safest choice you can make.
Lol if you think people sell anything to the US government without price gouging then.
Your average modern commercial skyscraper is less amenable to this kind of conversion than those older, shorter, smaller floor plate industrial/commercial buildings, though. And there's still a lot of opportunity cost in renovating a modern class A commercial building that isn't there for renovating a long-abandoned older industrial/commercial space; those have basically no opportunity cost because the existing uses are worthless.
The reasoning in this article seems specious. Malls and offices are not the locus of the same activities. fwiw I've RTOed for three to four days a week and I love it.

Don't have any good resources unfortunately but I've seen my share of UI/UX people who are plenty good at creating "beautiful" UIs which end up being giant unusable pieces of crap. So I would place a whole lot of emphasis on understanding the user first. What kind of device will the user be interacting with your UI on? Where will they be? What does their existing workflow look like? Some of this overlaps with the field of human factors and ergonomics, which very few in the industry have even heard of.

I would also include a chapter on accessibility. I've been unfortunate enough to have worked with UI people who genuinely didn't give a crap about it. And they'd even get defensive about stuff around colour blindness, attempting to justify their bad choices through poorly made assumptions about the end user (see paragraph one). That's just one small part. I could rant and rave for hours about screen readers, the size of text and fonts.

You find what's valid underneath the idea, and then you build on that together with the person. You listen empathetically to the idea, using "yes and", and probe with compassion to find the problem, never invalidating the idea itself.

If someone has a "bad idea" it's often not the idea that's important, its the underlying problem or motivation. The idea can be one way of having a conversation about the problem, and explore, with curiosity about lots of ideas. Then you can share the pros/cons together, and co-create a good solution.

This doesn't always work, but it helps build a relationship, instead of coming across as a jerk to the person.
I think we are in a loop. All the cars are big, so the only way to feel safe when driving is to have a big car.

> the countries which have had the least economic growth, and try to say with a straight face that economic growth doesn't make a difference.

There is a difference between economic growth and strangling a county into poverty with sanctions (North Korea) or economic imperialism (Africa and the IMF). That is not economic stabilization.

> Obviously in the second one your standard of living is going to be worse, and as a society that's what it likes when the ratio of working to non-working people decreases.

You are confusing economic growth with economic stabilization. I am for the latter. The need for economic growth is based ion the need for a profit.
Many times, to me it just works to say "yes" and just not do it. Managers ask for so many things, and change priorities so often (cancelling the previous things they asked), that they don't really make a difference.

So if I agree, I say "yes" and I do it. If I disagree, I say "yes" and I don't do it. Usually, when I disagree, that's because it is not as important as they think, and therefore they don't have to come ask a second time: they just forget about it.
"Self-identified gamers" and those extremely profitable mobile games have virtually nothing to do with each other, the commonality of 'games' is superficial. There's basically no overlap between the consumers of these markets.

If I decide I don’t want my life in Texas and, for whatever reason, there are better opportunities in Mexico (much better beaches, for example), I should be able to just trek down from Texas and the Mexican people should have to fund my trek and receive me with open arms? Whatever needs to be the case to where my life is better in Mexico, let’s just grant it, like maybe I’m in incel in Texas but not in Mexico where I can start a family with a BBL latina. Bonus if I have to trek through the deserts of Chihuahua because it’s risky?

You’re acting like this is obvious to everyone rather than the center of massive controversy.

Ordering often is temporal. "Two comes after one" implies that "one" is somehow before "two" but the word you probably mean is "greater than." In the case of cars, saying "the blue car merges first, and the green car second" implies a temporal ordering of events. That again is time. We implicitly know that the velocity of the car and anticipated changes in acceleration impact when the events will occur, but they are implicit. We inherently know that it's ridiculous for the green car to merge a nanosecond after the blue car, but we're assuming a velocity. Time is present everywhere that there is change. Synchronization tends to involve changes.

I don't understand this common argument. Of course a PC can technically be connected to a TV. The problem is that most people don't have their PC in a living room, much less within the HDMI-range from a TV.

So, unless you want to permanently move your PC (and lose your desk setup with a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse) OR to have another PC dedicated for your TV setup in a living room, then no, you can't play on PC while sitting a couch.
I suppose different people appreciate different things about them, but for me, it's just the experience (for lack of a better word). It's the musical equivalent of being in the flow state, and tickles my brain the same way. The crescendo of Echoes or Brain Damage/Eclipse makes me feel the same way as when I find the perfect solution to a problem I've been working on. You can't link to part of a song and say "this is the epitome of Pink Floyd." There are certainly certain segments that are better than others, but to fully appreciate it, you have to have listened to the previous parts of the album. The songs build on themselves.

Some people like the lyrics, I think Roger Waters bloviates too much. Weed certainly makes it more enjoyable, but it isn't necessary.

What parts of the cli doesn't Vaultwarden support? The cli client works fine for me when it comes to basic password operations.

I'm aware that the backend doesn't implement every API Bitwarden has but I've also never noticed any missing features. It did take some time before Bitwarden Send was implemented, but I can't fault the devs for that. I also expect the upcoming BW passkey support to take a while to make it to Vaultwarden.

Personally, the whole organisations thing is only a nice to have when it comes to hosting Bitwarden. The standard Bitwarden installation eats up gigabytes of memory for (I assume) optimizations for large installations that most self hosters probably don't really need.
There are only a handful of cities in the United States where federal trust land is meaningfully important - and they're all in the American West - Phoenix and Albuquerque are the two that come to mind - both of those are limited by water, before land.

I will note however, I'm somewhat sympathetic to states like Nevada, Arizona and Utah who would like some of the BLM land given over to state stewardship - but its a very regional issue, and fractious enough that its hard to get enough people nationally behind (people outside of these regions hear 'federal land' and think 'Yellowstone' when the reality is closer to a 640 acre square of semi-arid grassland, in a checkerboard pattern).

Federal land holdings are statistically non-existent east of the Mississippi - and even east of the rockies, less relevant.

I don't disagree that private equity gobbling up some sizable percentage of single family homes is a very bad thing - but it'll take some will by congress and the state legislatures to unwind. The one thing that should give people hope here, is while its not yet widely reflected in the political class, there is broad grassroots support for limiting concentration of land holding and other physical assets (think anti-trust). It's just gonna take some time for that consensus to filter up. The current intensity of energy being expended on the so-called 'culture wars' isn't helping speed this process along.

(The 'culture wars' is probably the largest impediment to us working together to solve the fundamental economic issues present in the nation - the consensus of what to do is largely present - but until you can get people in the room to hash out the details, we're basically blocked from making progress.)

The parent was wondering why we don't have smaller cars, not why we have cars at all. Especially for older people whose kids are out of the house, a car for 1-2 people would make a lot more sense.

My answer would be that if you only have one car, you buy what accommodates the likely maximum use case. So you buy a car that is sufficient when you have out-of-town visitors to chauffeur or buy something bulky. If car rental was more seamless and common outside of travel elsewhere we might be able to shrink cars.

Another factor is feeling safe. I'd love to commute in a single-seater like the Toyota iRoad, but would be terrified between massive pickup trucks.

It does not seems to appear in comments yet and maybe it is a bit out of context but android devices nowdays streams almost perfectly services like geforce (video hardware acceleration is a basic feature on phones) now and it is relativiely easy to setup a proper moonlight / sunshine as android client / remote home gaming pc to get "on premise cloud gaming" .

As some other comments says pc games have way better quality and infinitely less ad / bloat / pay to win shit that is the norm on android (and maybe a large part of ios games). There is also a huge game choice for these platforms that supports very well gamepad controls.

These systems are not perfect as they require a "descent internet connection " and a physical gamepad (imo) to have a decent mobile gaming experience. So it.may not fit the case "I want to play games lost in alaska".

Note however that the required connection has argably quite low expectations like ~3 mbps bandwidth and average and less than 150 ms latency to run smoothly with basic resolution (480p). This can be enough on a phone device standard size.

All of this let you play any pc game / retro gaming with possibly high end game renderings for decent hardware / saas prices. (You run games with with small resolution because it targets a phone screen so hardware can compute extra visual effect for a cool rendering on phone)
More women have caregiving responsibilities, meaning that they are more affected. You might say they are especially effected.

MiniReview is a pretty good source of info. The YouTube channel post reviews of a handful of new games pretty frequently, and occasionally publishes "best of" sort of videos with some of his favorites.

And then the app is basically the same content, just easier to sort and whatnot.

https://www.youtube.com/@NimbleThor & https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=minireview.bes...

Beyond that, as a general rule of thumb, games that are ports from other platforms have a much better chance of being high quality. Dead Cells, Horizon Chase, Streets of Rage 4, and Chrono Trigger all fit the bill. Also, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge and Into the Breach, although you need a Netflix subscription to play them.

I mostly play on android, so I'm not sure how many of these are available on iOS. I know FTL: Faster than Light has a great port that's iPad-only.
Obsidian has an optional paid sync plugin that works out of the box. You could use Syncthing but I don't think it does text file diffing? Obsidian Sync keeps a version history of each file

I have tried to use a plugin called Obsidian Git that automatically runs git commits and pushes on an interval, but I have found it frequently had conflicts and the visual for resolving those conflicts wasn't super helfpul. I ended up just paying for Obsidian Sync. I wish I had a solution that kept my data just to myself, but I don't care that much of Obsidian has my notes

The only reason we don’t take race as a factor in credit scores is because it is illegal, not because it wouldn’t lead to more optimized outcomes.

If members of a certain race consistently don’t pay debts in a way that is statistically significant, then it would be prudent to lend to them at higher interest rates due to perceived risk. Sounds racist, but reality has no obligation to conform to our ideas of racial equality. Races can develop habits and cultures amongst themselves that produce certain emergent behaviors. I think arguing against this just makes you seem naive.

In the above example, you are more than welcome to ignore race and lend money to everyone at the same interest rate regardless of race, but I predict you will see worse returns. Reality is what still exists even if you close your eyes and ignore the data.
> I think the correct term here is “speculative bubble”, but there are deep similarities between a speculative bubble and a Ponzi scheme.

There are deep differences, too, most obviously the one highlighted by the “scheme” in ponzi scheme.

> In both a speculative bubble and a Ponzi scheme, early investors are paid out with funds taken from later investors, for an asset which does not have enough utility to justify those payouts.

In a ponzi scheme, money is deliberately directed to early entrants to cover the conscious absence of any mechanism to produce actual value.

That's not true of speculative bubble; yes, the usual market mechanisms involve movers out of market get money from those moving in, but outside of fraud (which can make usual market action ponzi-like) its not conscious cover for an absence of a return-generating mechanism. Yes, a ponzi-operator produces deliberately a conditions similar to that which is retrospectively observed when the market misperceives value for a time, but that's the same as saying fatal accidents produce the same results as murder plots. We call them different things for good reason, and it is worth distinguishing them.

> And I don’t think the bad faith component of Ponzi schemes should be considered a necessary component.

Someone having advance and certain knowledge of the absence of return mechanism is quite relevant and distinct from a market misperception, especially when looking at a prospective bubble that hasn’t popped (so its the differences between “there is specific concrete evidence someone engineered this fraudulently” and “my perception of the future differs from the consensus”.)

Redefining terms so you can use terms that communicate greater certainty and have higher emotional valence than is warranted by what you are actually describing is bad, in much the same way as an (actual, proper definition) ponzi is bad. Its an attempt to mislead and motivate action based on misleading people.
