> You could already get a clearance with past marijuana use (and other drugs) but I guess this would just make it so someone couldn't be denied a clearance solely for that reason.

It depends. At least, it did when I went for clearance a decade ago.

a) I think recency as well as frequency mattered.

b) You had to be willing to stop.

I don't know how much (a) is still a thing but it was definitely back then. The other thing is it depends on your sponsor and who you get stuck with during the process - some people are going to care way more than others.
The numbers can't possible capture the circumstances. People can look both privileged and destitute at the same time depending on the metrics used. This can be made even more murky with financial market swings and carried interest.

Unfortunately debt for the individual is not as fungible as wealth.
An idea tried multiple times, that always fails short of using a proper Lisp Machine.
I know some DFT (*), but very little superconductivity, but I read through Sinéad Griffin's preprint and there was nothing in there which looked weird from a methodological perspective – and the methods (and software) she is using are extremely well-established and well-categorized.

(*) it was, like, two decades ago, but I've got a first-author PRB paper so I wouldn't trust me compared to an active researcher but I'm not _entirely_ clueless
The problem as I see it is that any "treatment" requires the addict wanting to be treated

You could argue that the Taliban are the government that cares the most about addicts, because they are actually making addicts change the way a parent corrects a child

But addicts are grown ups with free will
If you buy direct from Pine64, you can get a stand for an extra two bucks. A brass sponge is what, another two dollars? And many hackers likely already have a GaN charger or Apple charger.
That just means China has it harder and is more likely to fail. Access to global markets is a critical factor in growth of Japan, South Korea and China. USA controls that.
Yeah, great point. Updated the post to reflect that it is within the US only.
Its a mistake to view the Israeli supreme court in the same way as one might the US Supreme Court. The Israeli high court has more power and less accountability, making its role in shaping public policy far greater than other democracies. In the same way its not clear all Americans understand the nuance of US Supreme Court influence (not as great as many think), its similarly unclear the Israeli electorate appreciates how unique its Court's authority is. Setting the polarization and crusading aside, some reform makes sense - but certainly not as much as the right initially demanded. As with most things the truth lies in the middle and not at the edges.
1.2 billion _old_ people. While quantity has a quality all its own, in this case the demographics are not what you want to see if you are predicting long-term Chinese growth just based on population.
> Feel free to disagree. This is my personal political view.

How do you address the argument that drug users go on to be a burden to society?

> But I don't want a government having any opinion on what people put into their own bodies.

It seems like it should if the result is a burden on society, though there are many potential solution to ameliorate the problem other than outlawing or restricting substances.

Where is the VW Golf 15k EUR?

I bought an 8 year old Golf with over 100k km over 2 years ago and paid around 12k EUR for it, new it was around 32k.

For context this is in the Netherlands, I do believe cars are a bit more expensive here but I can't believe a new Golf would cost 15k anywhere.

To be clear I'm not calling you a liar or anything, I'm genuinely curious if there are such major discrepancies between countries.
I just checked prices near me and a Big Mac meal is $13.59 before taxes and fees, $19.19 after taxes and fees, before tip.

Looking at the McDonald's app it's $10.69 after taxes. Which is frankly still too expensive for a fast food meal, but Uber nearly doubles the price. The meal itself is even 30% more expensive on UberEats before all their other fees.
... and maybe even your hard drive
> I want to believe.

Yeah, it's always possible this may not pan out but I'm really enjoying the visceral reminder that new fundamental science always has the potential to be suddenly transformative across a spectrum fields.
Missionary work is great training for intelligence operations.

Has been throughout history!
I know multiple people that drive uber and go to late night drunk spots then drive crazy with the explicit goal of getting the passenger to puke for the fee uber gives. You'd be surprised by what people will put up with for some quick cash I guess.
Supposedly iMessage search is getting way better in iOS 17. Fingers crossed.

Do you have any pointers on how that is done? I assume/hope it is just a sqlite database so the only trick is yanking the file from the phone?
Delusional arguments.

Out of the richest 1000 Americans how many are blacks? 1? 2?

And what's the % like in prisons?

Wasn't Oprah the only black billionaire in US like for a decade?

US attracts talents because there's much more money in US than elsewhere and the political and bureaucratic environment favors entrepreneurship.

Please quit lecturing people around the world bantering a moral ground you don't have.
It looks like ESM is getting good traction this year. Just moved a big project (Next.js and Express backend) over to ESM and this went pretty smooth.
Tesla maintains a 30% profit margin vs the 5% profit margin of other automakers.

The car dealership model of course inserts another middleman markup and other bullshit, but direct to consumer doesn't prevent profitinflation, and we saw just that in other sectors with the mass profitinlation the last 2 years.
California is a beautiful state. It has a ton of natural beauty, recreation, entertainment options, food, anything you could want. It's no wonder people want to live there. The ultra rich are able to keep housing costs high and paint false narratives about crime in the media to keep the normies away, while enjoying it themselves. It's a great con.
Example 20 year old experimenting with drugs:

Going to jail for a year breaks any career chances or most of the job opportunities plus messes up his mind by staying with other convicts.

Letting him experiment with drugs, he might mess up his health but also he has still a chance to continue rather normal life.

Keep in mind, the Chinese were using bombs, granades, and rockets in warfare. Cannons were slowly being incorporated during the Ming.

It’s just that, the Chinese also had standardized crossbows capable of punching through armor, and allowed for long range sniping, centuries before gunpowder. The Manchus who founded the Qing dynasty valued archery, and were slower to adopt firearms. The mid and late Qing period saw firearm military units, with bows and arrows evolved for powerful short range attacks, ceding long range to firearms.

Even so, it looks like Chinese generals were interested in fielding firearms, and found them effective.

Wikipedia has a list of theories on why gun development stagnated, and the leading theory is that Chinese fortification were more resistant to cannon fire. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_weapons_in_the_Min...

As far as Mesoamericans and wheels, I’m not sure the hilly terrain and dense jungle would make wheeled transports that easy. They seemed to be able to create step pyramids with stone just fine.
I should clarify, I'm making much more that my listed minimum currently. The $65k is what I'd need roughly to meet all my current expenses comfortably.
Hey! Great question.

The installation code has two parts:

<script> that registers the element
<hyvor-talk-comments> element in the place user needs to load comments

The script is hosted in our servers so we can push updates anytime we want.

I hope that makes sense? (Our installation guide: https://talk.hyvor.com/docs/install)
You have to wonder if women drinking more has reduced birthrate due to health negatives on fertility / how much more havoc alcohol wreaks on the female body or if unintended births statistically offset the decline in birthrate?
Yes, the first two were caused by Cheney ignoring CIA advice and the third was caused by Putin doing the equivalent.

Are you claiming the US shouldn't help Ukraine know where the missiles being shot at their civilians are coming from?
Tell HN: When I need a co-working space I donate blood
I've had we-works, I've had spaces but there is nothing like getting a few hours of perfect air-conditioning, human interaction, and doing a good deed. When I just can't take another day of work-from-home, and going to starbucks (again) just isn't the vibe I want I think: ah ha, I need a good old fashion bloodletting.

(Side note, did you know why the barbershop spinning white and red thing has the red? Because barbers used to cut more than just hair!)

You walk into the Red Cross donation center and that blast of cold air hits you and welcomes you in. Suddenly I'm out of the house, doing something with a purpose that cannot be done remotely. I'm interacting with people, my co-workers for the next few hours. And there is a ton of sitting around and waiting. Both before the donation and after. Enter free wifi and laptop but it's so much different than a coffee shop. At a coffee shop I'm just a "customer." Here I'm a VIP.

When it's all over they encourage me to take my time, get a drink of water and stay awhile. Thanks RC, I hope you like my blood, win win.
Ah yes, ancient materials, like graphene.
There are also many shades of "ultra-rich". The article claims that millionaires are ultra-rich, but there is a big lifestyle divide between 7, 8 and 9 figures and beyond. Those people aren't living similar lives, it's silly to cluster them together as one unified block.
Door game?
Now you just need a good text editor...
Some apps collect full memory dumps - on Windows at least there is nothing stopping them. That will indeed contain your bank details.

Counterpoint:

No system built by committee will ever be trivially reckonable/navigable by a single person. Therefore the only people who will derive benefit from it will mostly be committees/orgs.

When one builds for oneself, or a single person, one builds under a set of constraints that truly allow for peak accessibility.

You've only got 1 person to do the whole shebang. And if one person can do it, you're on a much better footing from which to then allow anyone to do it.

As someone in the midst of building out a lab, it's been humbling, and in a way invigorating to return to grappling with building cohesive, single operator systems.
Personally I can't wait to be able to go to the Royal Institution in London to see someone demonstrate this thing.

Just like they demonstrated all the stuff you know from school over a hundred years ago, before you needed fancy equipment to do anything.
I plan to expand on this in a reply to ur other comment once I get my thoughts more distilled but I first wanted to mention how strange it is to basically read a description of myself lol.

And do u have any sort of logging structure for organizing your thoughts? Because for me I think of a million things a day and piece different things together and stumble upon realizations all the time, but I have a terrible system for keeping track of the myriad fleeting thoughts I might want to return to.
This pitched scenario has played out in exactly zero markets around the world, including all of the legal-marijuana states right here in the US.
I wish I had the enthusiasm, grit and dare I say "sisu" that lisp developers possess. I worked with a guy - very skilled Clojure developer - who was an absolute wizard in Emacs. If a car company sold a vehicle that was powered by emacs, he would have bought it. He will probably construct his own casket out of elisp to be buried in.
This is related to my reply above, but clouds in general move heat upwards in the atmosphere through latent heating.

When you evaporate water from the surface, you cool it (like sweating keeps you cool). This water vapour is then lifted by convection until it cools enough to condense and form a cloud. As the water vapour condenses, the opposite happens and it heats the atmosphere locally (this further invigorates the convection)

Once you have condensed enough water (and the water droplets/crystals are large enough), you form precipitation. This falls back to the surface (some evaporates along the way), where the process starts again.

This transporting of energy through the water cycle is an important component of how energy moves in the Earth system - you can see it on this figure as 'latent heating', moving energy away from the surface at something like 80Wm^-2

The interesting metric would be the percentage of addicts that were treated and went on to be “productive” or at least not using for at least x, y, and z years, and probabilities of relapse.
>The problem is, by removing humane parts of interpersonal communication (remember, even thanking or greeting was forbidden on SO), you essentially encourage inhumane communication.

I think I more or less agree, but once again, this is lateral to the point above about causes for loss in traffic.

As for the substance of what you are saying, I think I partly agree and disagree. I think it is very true that the SO culture has broadly been felt to be pretty poisonous and bad in non-trivial proportion of interactions there experienced by many. My personal anecdote is about tetration, a kind of mathematical exercise that you could consider to be next in the progression from addition, to multiplation to exponentiation. Tetration is "next" after those.

In response to a question about tetration, someone responded with the most spellbindingly obtuse answer, not validating the intellectual curiosity of the asker, not answering any questions about the nature of a "tetration" operation, not identifying any of its peculiar, curiosity inspiring features, not discussing any circumstances where it has been researched, used, discussed previously, not surveying where it lies in the educational landscape relative to other fields of math. Instead, the answer was to opine about how one does not "need" tetration, which, again, I find so offensively against the spirit of asking questions that I genuinely become upset when thinking about it.

I make that point just to emphasize that I do agree, to some extent, as to the pervasive negative atmosphere on SO. Everyone has their anecdote, and there's mine. However, I think I partly disagree, because your criticism appears to be about the normal goings on, of SO even as it would function in its ideal state. I am not so sure I believe that people should need that kind of vague, generalized recognition of humaneness, as something understood to be at cross purposes with building a reference guide on subjects. It is fair, in service of that mission, to expect and request activity that serves that purpose, and not concede everything, and allow an inundation of low effort memes, lists, jokes, and off topic responses.

Those are the default state of internet comments, and one degree removed from those are the demands to amend standards to welcome such behavior, from people who would engage in such behavior if they could, who in fact probably were trying to engage in such behavior, but, upon realizing it was not allowed, switched to advocating for it. Every such internet-based project centered on accumulating information will experience pressure to lower standards, accept memes, anecdotes, trolling, which are either just produced, or advocated for, with both stemming from the same impulse, and rejecting those demands in favor of a real mission or purpose you can articulate is a legitimate response to those demands.
Yes and west has their replication crisis which is massive fraud in all but name. PRC biases towards applied science so will get more applied science fraud. Ultimately countries with large R&D base strategy comes down to generating as much talent as possible and then spamming science at scale then seperating wheat from chaff via commercialization. First scientific community filters out what's valid - see PRC science+innovation climbing western rankings controlled for quality. Then market commercializes what works.
I found it helpful to prepare myself for answering questions about how I solve a problem, situations where x y and z happened, etc, particularly just being on the spot for a question I never heard before and practicing fluency in my response.

I often help my girlfriend get into dresses that she buys, and I just cannot fathom how zippers are used in womens clothing. They routinely design dresses such that zipping them up in the back or side is the sole clamping force holding the dress together, which means the zipper has to withstand whatever force is required to squeeze you into a dress, which they all seem to require as designed. Then they buy the cheapest, plasticy shit zipper that you are terrified to break, and just kinda let you deal with that stupid problem.

I just cannot fathom that. It's a dress that sells for $80 and definitely cost $8 to produce.
Europe is a huge place.

Anyway comparing it to a country that's been built on immigrants killing and banishing natives is plain lunacy.

Those countries are allies.

China doesn’t believe in western democracy and has as a stated goal ending American hegemony.

It’s not even slightly confusing or subtle, not sure why American elitist types like to just handwave it away.

Actually I am sure. Everyone is making too much money. Until they aren’t.
I'm obsessed with Ghibli and Miyazaki's work, I discover them in earlies 2010s because of my nieces (then my daughters were born). I love to watch Totoro and discover old (new) Ghibli films and watch with my daugthers. Those weren't available in my country when I was a kid in the 80s. Inn a way these movies transport me to that time, it's a warm a nostalgic feeling. I'm looking forward to watch Miyazaki's new film, soon to be released.
What makes you believe I haven't done this before?

If you want to know, maybe, you know, ask ("Have you ever tried to do this before in a lab?" - this is also not hard, and even the people not contending for the Nobel prize can do it), rather than just assert that this is just something i only want to see others do in my imagination, which is not just rude, but actually, it turns out, wrong.

But hey, don't let that stop you. Please, continue to assert things about me rather than actually ask or otherwise use means that might gain knowledge of me and what i have or haven't done.

To answer the rest, so, actually, no, that's not my aspiration. My aspiration was "producing and testing", specifically targeted at "early stage believability". Which is what I said.
You seem to have decided that means "be able to show all pieces in a convincing way" or "make a how to video". That would be silly, which is why i didn't say that.

This is is mostly about showing a video of the end result in a meaningful way, as the literal top thread on this on HN now does, posting multiple reproduction and testing videos. If you can show production in some way at all, awesome.
I'm not interested in the residents cynics shitting on every single way that it could be faked, nor are most other people.

To most people, those videos are much more convincing than all the papers and anything else you produce.

As for who monitors, as I mentioned elsewhere, lots of labs already have cameras, because universities now put them in almost every room. As I mentioned, I was even in multiple material science labs in the past week, and all had cameras.
But please, feel free to continue to pretend that this is some super complicated thing to do when it's already being done and being used to good effect, convincingly, on HN, right now.

I guess they all just contending for a nobel prize, because otherwise, this is clearly impossible, despite it literally having been done.
I ended up buying "Little Nemo in Slumberland: So Many Splendid Sundays" which is a large-format bound book with a ton of the original strips. I really like his creativity in breaking out of the frames, and in showing a sequence of events across frames.
crime in Mill valley, just on the other side of the golden gate bridge, is infinitesimal
That doesn't follow at all. People who eat poorly and/or don't exercise are not a drain on society like drug addicts sleeping on the street, stealing to fund their addiction, and contributing nothing. There's big differences and it's not even really nuanced. It's obvious these are different things.

Saying that we should encourage healthy lifestyles.
If you want to prove provenance without centralization of power like certificate authorities, you could do it with a blockchain. I'm sure someone has implemented this.

Alice wants to prove to everyone that she took a photo. Or, at least, she wants to attest that it is hers from a given time on.

1) Alice takes photo at t=0

2) Hash is calculated of photo

3) Hash is signed with Alice's private key

4) Signed hash is uploaded to Ethereum blockchain (probably bundled with thousands of others to save money, or on some other cheaper/faster blockchain)

5) Bob can verify that Alice had this photo starting at t=0

Combined with other information (like "This is a photo of events that happened on Tuesday starting around 11AM"), this could be useful in the context of journalism or whatever's replacing it on the web.
