Seems like every week, the health aspects around marijuana become more bleak. In the past few weeks alone:

(1) Cannabis is a scavenger of metals and users had higher levels of lead and cadmium

(2) "there's a lot of overlap in terms of the toxins and carcinogens that are in [both] cannabis and tobacco smoke"

The only way I can deal with my sociopathic coworkers is through cannabis use, so I’ll roll the dice.

Edit: downvote me daddy
Now hold on one second - "Fallout without the depression".

Here I thought I was one of the only people who felt increasingly depressed playing Fallout 4. It eventually led to me not playing it anymore. I couldn't shake the feeling that every decision, every choice, every path was bad, some more than others... and it just was, depressing.

Perhaps brilliant story telling to instill that feeling - no other game has had that affect on me.

I've mentioned this to friends who have also played Fallout 4 and none really could relate to that feeling.
I can't wait for AMD chips on 3nm so we can see if it really is "just the advantage of the process" like a lot of folk say.
> If training focuses on just not sounding like you do illegal things instead of just not doing illegal things, that’s the problem.

No, that isn't the problem.

The problem is that the difference between violating the law and not violating the law is whether you used what the court/jury felt to be inappropriate language. "Not sounding like you do illegal things" is how you avoid violating the law. Your actions are less relevant than your commentary on those actions directed to your friends.

That's why the training focuses on using the right magic words and tabooing the wrong ones. The training is there to help you follow the law, no matter how stupid the law might be.
There's lots of people who take this sort of thing as reason to criminalize cannabis.

Regardless of the problems, it is still a personal health issue. Criminalizing causes more harm than good.
Have you ever met someone with schizophrenia?

I would never engage in any activity that increases the likelihood of a permanent life ruining mental illness!
I mean, I used to work at a digital agency that pulled in way, way more than $50k MRR. It did high quality work across a range of services (copywriting, web development, graphic design, social media engagements, online advertising). Mostly it worked by having long term retainers with large clients (I remember being amazed that we wouldn't even really look at jobs under 50k). It had a lot of younger staff but the leadership was experienced and serious.

It was a business that was really doing well, with a huge network of contacts in the region. I'm not saying it was representative of all agencies - probably it was an exception to the rule. But I definitely got the sense that there were ways of making the agency model scale well beyond 50k/month.
The title is incorrect. It implies a causal effect, where the article suggests correlation. Also, it refers to a cannabis use disorder, not cannabis use (as mentioned by others).

I propose: "Cannabis use disorder correlated to increased risk of both psychotic and non-psychotic unipolar depression and bipolar disorder."

Or even: "People with major depression, bipolar disorder and psychosis are more likely to be addicted to cannabis."
Realistically, they are constrained by how many birds they can put in the sky. More people would sign up if the performance was better.

They've been overly optimistic about launch capacity. Typical Musk company optimism. Still, it's a success at building out a new market.
True. But it takes a lot of effort to make a competitive EV.

The competition has optimized air and rolling resistance, battery chemistry, and battery cooling/management software.
Where would one learn this knowledge without joining the trade?
> In this cohort study of 6 651 765 individuals in Demark, cannabis use disorder was associated with an increased risk of both psychotic and nonpsychotic unipolar depression and bipolar disorder.

I'm guessing they don't mean over 6 million Danes have cannabis use disorder, but are talking about the minority that do. In that case I'd wonder which came first, the mental disorder or the cannabis use disorder (I haven't read the full text)
Nuvia was a company founded by Gerard Williams in 2020 to build an ARM data center chip with a very high performance/watt profile. He was previously at Apple running the chip unit in some of the crucial years for Apple Silicon. Qualcomm bought Nuvia in 2021, and Williams is VP Engineering now. They are going to present the first Snapdragons with the Nuvia cores in October, probably in the wild at CES. Smartphone, watch, PC, IOT, etc. Data center after that. I expect it will bring Qualcomm much closer to Apple on the CPU part of the SoC. So yes, Windows PCs that can get closer to MacBooks in battery life and CPU performance. Linux at your own risk probably, because they have had a deal with Microsoft on this for a while.
> It’s not fine to set out with the explicit goal of killing your competitors.

What? That's also fine.
prohibition of cannabis has perpetuated greater harms than those it would attempt to mitigate.
I run on an ultra-wide with an 7900 XTX. And there was a specific bug (that was acknowledged in the AMD driver release notes) that causes crashes if dynamic resolution is turned on (dynamic resolution is turned on by default) so I had several crashes on the first night of early release prior to discovering the "fix" (turn off dynamic resolution). I've had one hard crash to the desktop since then and a couple of hangs where I basically had to force quit. I only have about 15 hours logged.

I've encountered a ton of bugs though. Nothing game breaking so far.
I just feel like they are going for something slightly different with Starfield. While they all share a certain DNA, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Starfield all have different areas of emphasis.

I would suspect the next Elder Scrolls would lean heavier into the RPG elements and I hope the next Fallout puts more of an emphasis on VATs. The poor shooting in Fallout 3 actually made VATS a requirement that was really rewarding when you got it right.
I had to go fact check this because I understood the opposite. And you’re right! What confused me is that Whitney Wolfe Herd founded Bumble and was also a Tinder co-founder. Bumble is owned by Blackstone Group now so they presumably have all the same incentives as Match properties under different owners.
I don't think people should be put in jail for cannabis. However, we shouldn't be devoting our tier 1 retail space or having startups with massive advertising budgets pushing it.

It should be sold as a generic drug by pharmacies that make most of their business from other drugs not dispensary entrepreneurs creating massive retail brands like alcohol.
And also, I should mention, ARM is suing over this, and wants Qualcomm to destroy all that IP or negotiate a new licensing agreement.
> Anyways, it is 100% usable. To say otherwise suggests you haven’t actually tried using it within the past 2 years (at least)

IDK why, but the way you say it really annoys me. Like disregarding people's experiences because you have not faced the same issues.

Anyway, I try to shift to plasma wayland atleast every month. But there's always these weird graphical issues on nvidia (desktop) that ruin my experience, so i switch back to my x11 session. Even KDE has a page detailing the various problems in wayland https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Showstoppers
Most agency owners I speak to (in VC marketing circles) charge minimum $8k a month, not $2k. $2k a month is like an overseas sweatshop.
> imagine the bluetooth chip vendor not being cooperative

no, then you tell them that if they dont play ball, they will NEVER sell a single chip to anything google ever again, and then you hire some people to reverse engineer the shit, and make it work anyway. And then you publish all about how company X is being stupid and trying to work against efforts to save the environment, how they are trying very hard to make money on peoples hardware being obsoleted before time etc.

But then we realize that google themselves have bummed out to large extents with what they have permitted on android and chromebooks, so anything like this would not happen
I've been playing around with something similar. It's buggy and in beta but you can use it now with no waitlist: https://gitwit.dev/
If that were the goal, wouldn't a diversity of obviously nigh-saintly people in the mix... be better than focusing on a historically maligned group?
JSTOR did not press charges against Aaron Swartz. They settled out of court a year and a half before his suicide and before he was even indicted. JSTOR's subsequent involvement in the case was under subpoena.

Academic publishing is corrupt and broken, but the facts can speak for themselves without needing to be exaggerated.
I randomly picked a few and they're not blogs or digital gardens?
Perhaps we should then view NSO Group as liberators, freeing software from the tyranny of evil corporations. /s
This reminds me of a game me and a buddy started playing called 'homeless or math professor?'. Fun times.
Well here is a whole thread of people who feel similar:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/16ap6ol/starfiel...
"Cannabis use" (HN title) and "Cannabis use disorder" (actual title) have very different meanings. The HN title should be corrected.
A lot of its design decisions are based around the data storage model, and tooling built to operate on those data structures. I recall a good write-up from a decade gone now, but no dice googling for it. The short version is probably:

- Everything is a blob, a text file named after the SHA1 of its content.

- Files are just themselves.

- Directories list <entry sha1> <name> for their entries (file or subdirectory).

- Commits list a Directory (the project root), and some metadata about the commit like the author, commit message, and the parent(s) of the commit.

- A branch then is just an end-user-named reference to a commit's hash.

Everything flows from that - SHAs are reused, if you're doing a diff and two directory entries have the same sha referencing a file, there's no change. Switching a branch is modifying the special HEAD branch content, and recursively walking it to rehydrate the filesystem (and comparing to the previous checkout to optimize, skipping whole directories that don't change).
Sounds like a real-life Pokémon Snap. You should add a digital professor who gives you points based on how good your recent photos are. (Size of subject in photo, focus, in-frame, and if the animal is doing something interesting.)
Then write your own wrapper on top of Git.
Yeah not sure about that, plus most sources have Denmark as having less than 6 million in total population.
ChromeOS updates are all full system updates, not just security updates. So they include any features that the hardware can reasonably support.
But don't people at your place just put numbers in front of things anyway? I've seen this literally everywhere I've worked. Not universally, but common enough that it no longer strikes me as unusual.

They start at `01` and increment. I still remember back in 2007 at the National Australia Bank, the WinXP deployment project stored its DNS designs in folder `53`.

My theory is that people do this because the alphabet is unreliable. What was the name of that DNS designs folder? I don't remember. But it could have been any one of a bunch of things: DNS, Designs (DNS), Dynamic Name System, so on. That choice is essentially arbitrary because we have this language full of synonyms. And so how do you remember it and the dozens of other folders that you use regularly? You don't!

Numbers lock things in place. `53` will always be there. The person who created that doesn't give a hoot about `52` or `54`. They just know that their stuff is at `53`.

Adding a whole bunch of new folders that start with 'B' would have messed up the spatial placement of our `53` folder, but now that's not an issue. `53` is always exactly where it was, and muscle memory can develop.

I dunno. I haven't done the studies. I'd love to! But this is a pattern that I see over and over. To dismiss it as 'wrong' ignores the fact that people are doing this for a reason. There's something natural about it.

Apple , Amazon, Meta, and Google stock keep going up and up (disclose: shareholder in all companies) , so even if he is right that big tech companies are becoming shittier, I don't see the final stage in which people leave the platform ever happening either. Google is stronger than ever 25 years later.
If you haven't watched the brilliant Git For Ages 4 and Up I can't recommend it more highly. I make everyone watch it on my teams and my students. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3m7BgIvC-uQ Git is quite simple under the hood, it's the convoluted user interface that makes it seem so difficult. Once you understand technically what the commands are doing, it's a lot easier to know which one to reach for.
In your last suggestion you can just leave off the last 2 words.
Best one-lesson favor I ever got was dimensional analysis in high school.

Obviously people with mental discomfort are more likely to seek comfort in mind altering substances.

That said, as someone who is bipolar, has bipolar friends and has used cannabis for a significant portion of my half-century on Earth, cannabis usage is proportional to mood instability in myself and my friends. I have taken extensive breaks and noticed I am much more mentally resilient and less emotionally labile when taking breaks.
Unfortunately the article doesn't get into too much detail about the particular legal argument being made.

Given the state government has taken actions intended to address the water level in the lake it would appear that the fact of the water level being a problem isn't the main point of dispute. I'm not entirely familiar with US law but I guess the legal question might be whether the state's actions are sufficient to protect the lake and also whether the sufficiency or insufficiency is a justiciable matter (rather than a political/legislative one).

This seems to be a copy of the original written arguments from the plaintiffs. [1]

Besides nickel and dimeing you, casinos raise prices in order to make their comps seem more generous. Basically, they want to target problem gamblers and encourage them to get addictions, so they give them gifts in order to keep them in the casino and create a sense of comradery. The most basic comp is alcohol, which is given for free on the floor in order to make gamblers drink. After that, you get free food, which seems more generous than it is because of how expensive Vegas food is. If you're really throwing down money, the casino will give you a free room so you never leave more than necessary. If you're a straight up whale, you'll get a VIP treatment with special rooms, butlers, and transportation. I don't know if comps are a thing in Europe, but the alcohol comps are restricted up here in Canada.
The article's implicit assumption is that there's only one grown-up/owner to manage client relationships. If your company has N of those, I guess you can reach $50Nk MRR.
I mean, the M1 chip in my Macbook Pro runs absolute circles around the Intel one that I had in the previous generation, and they were released within a year of each other, so... I honestly do not know what you're talking about.

That statement is obviously not true in an absolute sense, for example, do you avoid driving cars due to the chance of acquiring PTSD after a severe accident?
It would be great to have tags on each. Displaying a person's name isn't much help, unless I already know them. For example, if it had tags like "Software Developer", "Photography" to denote that blog might pertain to those topics of interest, it might draw me to check them out.
This post reads like Eternal September[1], and I write that without any cynicism or snark. It makes good sense that text-heavy web apps would fall prey to image-heavy mobile apps. I still think there is potential for dating apps that target higher intellect users. Most of the dominant apps today are mobile-first, largely visual, and disappointing for both sides. One idea: Could speech-to-text technology help to allow users to create OkCupid-style essays from a mobile phone? Maybe. Although, a few discussions here on HN said that speech-to-text is still a super hard problem in 2023.

I had a 6750xt before this. I’ve had nothing but stable experiences on both cards.
We're just finally catching up from the decades of stagnation around the research of cannabis and getting out of the honeymoon phase of legalization.

Anecdotally, my cannabis use fell into the "use disorder" category and it wrecked me mentally. Thinking back on all of the people I knew growing up who said that cannabis wasn't addictive really shows how ignorant we all were.

That said, I still think it should be legalized. We clearly got the war on drugs really, really wrong.
I can't see the full study methodology without an account. That said…

The challenge with running studies ethically is that you can't split your test groups into two groups and somehow induce cannabis use disorder and see if major depression, bipolar, etc results from it. Rather, you can see if the people who naturally develop the disorder also have those problems.

The flaw in this reasoning is that people who develop depression and similar issues are likely to self-medicate with cannabis. In related news, umbrellas do not cause rain.
Sure. It can even be the case that unions were a net positive before 1960, too. It can even be the case that the gains achieved by the unions are what made conditions less terrible from ~1960 to ~2000, and that the absence of the unions is what allowed conditions to get worse after 2000. (I don't think that's the whole story, but it's a defensible reading of events...)
From https://uwaterloo.ca/news/alumni/waterloo-alumni-named-among...
Does it really surprises anyone that a psychoactive drug have psychoactive effects on it's users? This whole "cannabis is an inofensive natural plant" is so dumb, of course a drug that alters your mind and is used regularly will produce side effects on it's users. The other thing that I always try to warn my pot head friends is about the pulmonary risks involved in cannabis use. I know guys that smoke all day pretty much non stop. Imagine if instead of weed, it was tobacco cigarretes, UNFILTERED, being burned up and breathed in. Smoke is smoke, and your lungs will get covered in ashes and debris over time. Pot heads are just alcoholics who destroy their lungs instead of their livers, the mental impairment part is the same. I'm not talking about drinking a beer or two on the weekend, or smoking a joint once a week. I'm talking about the wake and bake type of guys.
“But as a result, an increasingly large swath of the public is exposed to the critical responsibility and trauma of attempting, and at times failing, to save someone’s [an overdosing opioid addict’s] life.”

This is an abusive and enabling take. If you are not a trained first responder, it is not your “critical responsibility” to do anything in such a situation other than perhaps call 911 if you have a cellphone. It is not in any sense your responsibility, moral, psychological or otherwise, to respond to the situation with direct intervention.

You can personally choose to prepare to act, and actually intervene, as your personal choice. Some people choose to ski, some choose chocolate ice cream. To place a psychological/societal expectation, and personal guilt if it fails, on passersby (or librarians, store staff, etc.) to directly intervene is a form of abuse that society should not be promoting.

If we only cared about lives saved, perhaps a law should be enacted so that the non-first-responder intervenor should be required to become the legal guardian of any addict they save (with concomitant loss of personal liberties and rights from the addict). Guardianship delegated to whomever the savior chooses. Might incentivize the proselytizing members of various sects to get more proactively and aggressively involved with outreach to addict communities, and thus more addict lives saved. Win-win.

Some journalists should try attending a few Al-Anon/Nar-Anon meetings.

> I'm curious what extinction events you're so sure humans are capable of preventing that haven't been directly caused by humans

It's hard to say, but we may be able to pull off redirecting an asteroid and geoengineering might help offset the worst of some future crisis. Being able to do something from a technical standpoint and being able to actually do it when necessary are very different things though. We're already in the middle of a mass extinction event of our own making and I doubt we'll be able to repair all the harm we've done. Expecting humanity to solve the next one might be asking too much.
Every single chemical I put into my body has risk. Too much salt, caffeine / coffee, cheese, pasta / carbohydrates. When I drive a car I’m rolling the dice. When I let my 10 year old walk by himself to the subway, ride it to his friend’s house, and then ride it back, my mind can wander to all sorts of dangers.

Marijuana is absolutely a drug with downsides. There are also upsides - for example I enjoy my life more. I also enjoy alcohol, sometimes to excess. I acknowledge I have taken likely years of my life away through my actions. I have also dabbled in cocaine and ecstasy. I don’t think those drugs should be totally illegal either.

My point is we all make our own decisions and are forced to accept risk. Sometimes you just have to live. Otherwise why bother living?
More like society has trouble facing the truth about one of it’s popular vices.

The empirical evidence is overwhelming that there are very serious public health issues, yet so many people have an extremely biased vested interest in either continuing their vice, profiting from others, or simply getting votes.

It will probably go down in 20 years as a disgraceful period of denialism, the promotion and legalization and misinformation to several generations of youth.
