I think it's also a pretty big thing to unwind, right?

Do they keep all the people who are in the system because of something related to weed in, or do you let them go? Do they assume culpability for fines, imprisonment, damages, defamation...

I'd say it seems to be in the best interest of the ruling class to orchestrate a slow deflation. States legalize it against the will of the federal government, this gets people out of the system for related charges. After some critical mass they homologate it with alcohol/tobacco and there's no catastrophic secondary motion. In the linked maps, many of the areas with the highest drug use, which I assume predicts potsmoking rates, also so happen to be the ones which have elected to legalize in some capacity. Whether that stands up to statistical tests of significance is another matter...

Anyways, these policies were put into action by the federal government, repealing them may appear to be an admission of fault - and fault that appearing increasingly to have retarded important research on a number of candidates for a variety of therapies while also crushing countless thousands of lives for behaviors that are, I (and I think many others) would argue, fundamental to humans.

There's no taste or smell.

Brew identical looking bottles of cold brew. Label the bottoms 1 through whatever. Mix them up. Label the lids A through whatever. Probably need to add some creamer to mask any possible sediment. Drink from them throughout the week. Note the lid label and your reaction. At the end of the test period look at the bottoms of the bottles to correlate the controls and placebos with your experiences.

I personally don't feel the need with this particular thing though. It's a fairly pronounced difference.

It's also not really susceptible to the placebo effect IMO. Could I imagine some vague promised positive effect? Absolutely yes. Could I imagine the erasure of jitters? I don't think I could placebo that away.

Anyway as linked in another post this is well-studied.

I dislike SaaS very strongly. I will not repeat the "why"s mentioned in this thread, just add one that I haven't seen yet: SaaS incentivize doing busywork that is visible but not necessarily useful.

For example JetBrain's products: Oh look, we have changed our icons/ updated UI/ improved UX/ etc! We know that nobody asked for this, but it will be shoved into your mouth anyway!

Pretty much sure you can find that everywhere.
i would amend that with "average Joe should have all kinds of software basically free under a FOSS license"

and how about "corporation should not be allowed to use any software without paying for it"? it should essentially be treated like a tax. if the software has no price, then the price will be evaluated by some metric. (could be lines of code, but also revenue of the company could be considered)
So in Thailand, inter-city buses and even shuttles are a hugely popular mode of transport. They are cheap, clean, reasonably fast and comfortable. This is a third world country, how do they do it? How do they have vastly better inter-city bus transport than the richest country in the world?

I'm pretty sure it boils down to one word, which astoundingly is never mentioned in this article. Monopoly. The American government has seen fit to grant Greyhound a monopoly over most inter-city bus routes, like it has done for so many other lucky companies in so many other sectors. The result of monopoly is almost universally a worse consumer experience. I don't see why it would be any different here.

In Thailand there is no monopoly over bus travel, if you want to take a bus there are state-run options, private options, you name it.

So this is how a random middle-income country on the other side of the world, with a name that one former US President couldn't even pronounce correctly, has beaten the pants off of America. It hasn't (yet) succumbed to monopoly (in this area).
I used to use YT for background while I worked. I stopped when they started butting in every 5-10 minutes with an ad, at upped volume, which sorta defeated the point.
One interesting thing I saw pointed out on twitter: both of the published papers have "Lee" and "JH Kim" as the first two authors (LK-99 material namesake).

The first paper was published by YW Kwon with himself as the third author. The second paper was published a few hours later by Hyun-Tak Kim with himself as the third author. As others have pointed out there can only be 3 names on the ticket for a nobel prize.

To me this might indicate that they all think the result is potentially nobel-worthy, and also that the papers may not be as complete / rigorous as they should have been due to this drama / race to publish (YW Kwon published without permission to get his name out there, forcing Hyun-Tak to push his out a few hours later)
> Who says we need bosses and overseers to get stuff done?

I prefer being told what to do so that I can use my mental capacity on things I care about.

I do not care about making a dishwasher or a 3d printer. I would rather pay someone else to do it, and I would rather that person has a team of people under them who can help me with trivial issues if I come across it.

I desperately do not want to waste my time with a dishwasher or anything else in the kitchen.

1. It’s a distraction from developing a solid IDE. I’m already displeased with their obvious VSCode envy and the new UI, so focusing on shiny features makes me unhappy as a customer.

I agree with you! I have had reasonable success in the past reporting bugs and getting them progressed via youtrack.jetbrains.com, but I have this lingering fear that less attention is being paid to that vs the exciting new features... I held my nose and paid for another year of subscription, but I'm not sure what I'll do next year. BTW, I love the phrase "obvious VSCode envy" :-) but I don't like what it portends :-(
Literally just deployed a pair of new OmniOS NFS servers last night, for high-availability hosting. We also serve VM storage from a pair of Illumos ZFS boxes over iSCSI.

We switched most of our primary NFS storage pairs from Linux to Illumos a good five years ago due to a bunch of locking issues and race conditions with high-volume NFS traffic. Solid as a rock as long as you have the right HBA heh
On the Amazon thing, get the tracking number and track it with the carrier. I’ve found Amazon will say something has shipped when only the label has been created. You can see the truth if you track it through the actual carrier.

There seem to be some sellers on Amazon that just don’t ship things until the customer complains.
If you have Node.js installed, you can run it yourself. I did run the experiment, that's how I came up with the 16x number. I just had the two kinds of loops iterating about 10 million times and just assigned a variable inside them (in the same way). I recorded the start and end times before and after the 10 million iterations (in each case) and found that Array.forEach took 16x longer to execute. The difference could be even higher if the operation inside the loop was cheaper since much of the cost of the loop depends on what logic is executed inside it. I kept it light (variable assignment is a cheap operation) but it's still an overly generous comparison. The real difference in performance of just the two kinds of loops are almost certainly greater than 16x.

Ideally you should compare running the loops without any logic inside them but I was worried that optimizations in the JavaScript engine would cause it to just skip over the loops if they performed no computations and without any memory side effects. Anyway this was beside the point I was trying to make. My point is already proven; it makes no sense to optimize cheap operations.

You're right. My gut reaction was that it should be illegal because it's the government's job to legislate, not the private sector's. But having the private sector write legislation doesn't violate the government's duty. The government fulfills their role by passing it.

While it still seems ripe for conflict of interest, I suppose it's not much worse than could happen if everything was kept internal to the government.
Nice! I didn't know about this! Thanks.

Things like this are the reason the EU mandate for USB C bothers me. No, it doesn’t allow universal charging if the company is still going to be USB C-C charging compatible.
The North certainly did trade with the South, and thereby make money. But when the Southern economy was cut off from them, they continued to prosper, which the Southern economy ground to a halt.

The Southerners had expected that they had a trump card with cotton exports to the North, but oops.
Can you help me understand what you mean by spiritual?

I confess I have no direct experience with anything I've ever had the impulse to call "spiritual". This makes me wonder if I think the word means something different than most, or am I missing some kind of subjective experience others have?

I assume spiritual doesn't literally mean spirit, like the whispy ghost that floats up when you die in the cartoons. I assume it means something like a negative definition. Take everything we know and can understand about empirical reality, then whatever remains is "spiritual".

There are a number of incorrect statements in this post.

1) One should neither be using the "latest" nor just the "version" tag as the version can still vary depending on when it is pulled.

Instead, one should use a combination of version + hash, say alpine:3.18.2@sha256:82d1e9d7ed48a7523bdebc18cf6290bdb97b82302a8a9c27d4fe885949ea94d1 for reproducibility reasons. This provides for human readable versions as well as the specific hash.

2) Next, afaik, Compose has removed the need for version tags. All of the compose.yml files that I now use do not specify versions.

Got it. Reading the thread it's more about the idea of "buying magic", which is nonsense.

"Buying magic from Maria Duval" changes it to fraud assuming that Maria Duval was not involved. Where things become slightly more tricky is that Maria Duval sold the rights to her name to the scam operators before they did the scam.

So now the analogy is maybe "you paid for an autograph from Mickey Mouse, but Joe Schmo signed it instead (you didn't find out until later). Disney sold the rights for Joe Schmo to use the name Mickey Mouse in autographs."

Mickey Mouse as a character does exist btw, as a point that doesn't matter much.

That is not the case.

Consider the following flake:

# flake.nix
{
outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: {
packages.x86_64-linux.default = with nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux; dockerTools.buildImage {
name = "nonreproducible-image";
copyToRoot = (runCommand "not-reproducible" {} ''
mkdir -p $out
head -c 100 /dev/urandom > $out/random
'');
};
};
}

That is "pure" in the sense that "nix build" will let you build that in pure mode (i.e. in a flake).

It will produce a store path with the same hash on any machine you 'nix build' it on, but the contents of 'random' will be different each time.

Flakes do not make nix reproducible since flakes do not prevent derivations from running arbitrary commands and producing their own impurities.

> UBI plus a free market

If there's a ubi, then there's price floor that is higher than a non ubi price floor, meaning that the median prices of goods go up, less taxes to find the ubi, and the ubi must then increase to meet the increased costs for a basic standard of living.

Well done you invented inflation.

There's a famous family story where my grandmother kicked my 14 year old uncle out of the car for being an asshole (I'd imagine that he was) on a family road trip. This would probably have been the mid 70's. She got him a bus ticket and then forced my mother (recently gotten her learner's permit) to drive off without him. When he came back he said he had a good trip with the "winos" on the bus, so I always thought it had a reputation even back then as being a bit rough, but I suppose good enough to send a teenager on.

C'mon, dude, we're talking about SMT resistors, which I'm sure are already used elsewhere in their design. If any electronics company in the world can't "secure" a supply of SMT resistors, we have much bigger problems.

I agree that doing even a small redesign of something existing isn't free, but every company comes out with new designs for new products or to make an existing product more cheaply. At the very least they could acknowledge the issue and put the fix on the queue for the next rev of the board.

My guess is that the support person didn't actually forward anything on to any engineering team. At most they sent it to their supervisor, who told them to just make OP go away.

> To get rich you need capital. But that is hard to get in a deflationary economy

Believe me, it's nearly impossible to get capital in an inflationary economy so I don't understand this point. At least in a deflationary economy, it's equally difficult for everyone. In an inflationary economy, proximity to the source of inflation confers an advantage for some (Cantillon effect) so it's unequal and unfair.
Big minus: Max length is 5ft. That doesn't work for me.

Exactly opposite, they needed to drop this on arXiv first to stake their claim before anyone else. It's open for everyone to test out now, so if it's legit, we'll know soon. Also, it's a smart move if they're worried about leaks, now they're in control of the news.
Yes, thats it's role, but it does it "intelligently" where the resistor pullups do it the "dumb" way. His complaint is they cheaped out on even the resistor path.

I just wondered if some hypothesized USB-C consortium decided to "patent" how the signals work, and charge $ for compliance/conformance to the chipset for a logo badging and green tick.

It's more usual higher up the complexity food chain like MP4 decoding. Frauenhoffer wants its IPR respected. Philips made coin on conformance to the audio cassette form factor. Somebody made book with CD-ROM size, encoding. It's normal.

It’s so weird. I have what I would categorize as “cheap crap” that works great. Like an IR thermometer for surfaces or an electric ‘compressed air’ duster (powerful fan with a small nozzle and a battery).

Both work perfectly on proper USB-C and charge. They were both $15 or less. The kind of device where every cent on the BoM may matter.

The devices in my original comment? Hundreds of dollars each. They have to go through certifications to prove they do what they say. The price of two resistors (they don’t need more power) is nothing compared to the MSRP which I already suspect has a lot of profit baked in.

There is no way to guess if a device charges right or not without finding the logo (which I guess could be a lie from an unscrupulous vendor) or finding reviews.
I really think this could be in-fighting for the third Nobel prize spot (if it turns out to be legitimate). I pointed this out in another comment, but the first two authors are the the LK-99 material namesake and will likely always be the first two authors.

"YW Kwon" published the first paper with himself as the 3rd author, and "HT Kim" published the second paper a few hours later with himself as the 3rd author.

Pretty interesting drama if that's the case. May indicate neither paper was ready, but that they all think the result is legitimate.

> This immersive daydreaming often pulls me out of reality's context.

Rankly speculating-- there's some extremely painful emotion the author is avoiding by opting for daydream over engaging with whatever is going on in reality.

Edit: perhaps not 100% of the daydreams. I mean, sometimes humans really are bored. But it's very likely in some of these contexts, the author has a decent idea of what they want to do in reality and are specifically avoiding it to avoid some painful emotion that goes with whatever potential negative consequence could come from their action.

With this many daydreams that are this disruptive, seems very likely they're protecting the author from something. (Or they protected the child version of the author and continue their "job" of protecting into adulthood where they've become a hindrance.)
