Used it for a while, recently tried to restore some things and it failed, taking a really long time to restore some snapshots compared to other things I've tried. Switched to restic instead. Really like what kopia is but I'll wait a few more years before considering it for something, but right now I'm happy with restic.

Too bad no one besides kopia does ecc, which is the reason I switched, but when I checked out why restic didn't do it, it was because they saw what other people did and apparently it's way too easy to make a bad implementation.
Or even better, use ProxyJump and don’t forward your agent at all :)
No they do have a use or benefits, not for the employees though but for the corps, it is all supply and demand, once those employees who are mostly living paycheck to paycheck are let go, on a scale, you will have a lot of supply to further reduce the compensations or at least have the leverage when it comes to negotiations, so no WFH and the likes. Corps are never your friends or in your interests, unions are.

I'm dealing with a bureaucracy which is literally asking me to essentially document every place I've lived and every place I've worked for the last 30+ years. Not only that, but they require paper documents with paper Apostilles affixed and everything notarized. Even if it were possible, it would cost many thousands of dollars in documents and travel fees. In practice, it's essentially impossible because some employers no longer exist, others don't provide paper documents, etc.

If you're talking about pairing an SSRI with MDMA, then perhaps you would perhaps be well-served by adding some reticence to the confident assertions made.

That pairing would be like a Clorox + Bleach pairing of the psychotropic world.

There is significant interest in the drug, and the culture largely is focused on appropriate administration measures. This is not a half-baked solution, MAPS has worked on this for decades.
Big facts
There are many such signals and they are already being exploited by pathogens. Such things are also exploited by tumors. That's why figuring out hard basic immunology problems like transplantation (while managing associated infections) will probably generate knowledge that is likely to help cure cancer, and vice versa. A lot of the time glycans (sugars) are a key part of what makes something look like self vs non-self.

Completely false. Most people sign job contracts without thinking too hard. And side projects just aren’t important for the majority of programmers, so why would they care?

Relatedly I have always pondered the value of most consultancy work from the big firms. Maybe this is an unfair attack but it always felt like lots of PowerPoints and not much substance. I can see bringing a consultant in that specializes in maybe a specific manufacturing process or some other type of physical process but have always had trouble seeing the value in the other type of process change consultancy.

Yeah. Android has become as hostile as Apple devices due to hardware remote attestation. Might as well buy an iPhone at this point. Only reason I didn't is I discovered the existence of Termux which turned into something of an Android killer app for me. Who knows what Google's gonna kill next though? Termux is already incompatible with the official store due to system call restrictions. Maybe it'll be straight up impossible to run it in a future version of Android.
MDMA isn't physically addictive. Could be psychologically addictive the way the lottery or Netflix is, but I doubt it's going to be giving oxycodone much competition.
How does the effectiveness compare of a twice yearly dosing at the dentist vs constant low-level exposure via municipal water?

> Branches and tags are just pointers to a commit

Technically that's correct, but it is not how branches are thought of and used.
Conceptually a branch is, well, a line of development, a sequence of commits with a name. (Actually it is not necessary just a sequence, but this is not important here)

I think the implementation of branches in Git as just a kind of fancy tags is one of the sources of confusion about/around Git.

And I love Git, don't get me wrong! But some things in it make things harder than necessary.
I see little difference between LibGen and a public library.

And as we all know, and have known for millennia, the public library benefits us hugely.
• MDMA is almost anti-addictive — the more often you take it, the less fun it is. MDMA acts on the brain almost as if it by "using up" some scarce resource inside the brain, that only gradually builds back up when not taking MDMA. If you try to take MDMA again the very next day after taking it, you just get a headache. There's a reason you don't hear about "MDMA junkies" the way you hear about heroin junkies.

• SSRIs and MDMA are counteractive; being on SSRIs suppresses the effect of MDMA. (And also, due to this, you can end up with serotonin syndrome on the come-down from MDMA.)
I assume you mean that many Americans would consider this overreach by the government.
There are several differences from batteries. Generally the benefits are faster charge and discharge rates, unlimited cycles without degradation, no lithium or rare earths needed, and wider operating temperatures.

They are not good at long term storage though, as the self discharge rate is high. And historically they have been expensive.
Cost-saving change. They will say everything else, but it all boils down to cost-saving.

If that switch costs just one dollar, and then they remove it from billions of iPhones, they have saved billions of dollars.

Mind you, they won't reduce the price of the iPhone by charging you a dollar less.
POSIWID: "The purpose of a system is what it does"--Stafford Beer.

I would be surprised if that wasn't a glaring point for them, but you do control as best as you are able to.

This should be the second of two Phase III studies, which are pretty rigorous. Some drugs are just very hard to make a valid control for.

Some studies also use a drug placebo and a control group with a combination of interventions, or little to none at all, as best as I understand.

One can use statistics afterwards to help bolster claims of efficacy if a sham/placebo group is difficult to source.

This is my best understanding of the matter.

One other question: Is there legal basis in Denmark for asking for proof that they control the copyright for the listed works? DMCAs operate on "good-faith belief, under penalty of perjury" but in international situations it becomes trickier.

If anyone knows of a Danish lawyer I could consult with, or someone versed in international affairs, please let me know. (Or if you care to contribute funding. Hosting costs around $140/mo right now, which isn't free, but paying for consultation is costlier.)

I had/have filing cabinets. The problem is that over the years they grew into collections of multiple paper boxes with poor indexing and scattered contents (i.e., some docs in a series in one box, other docs in a series in another box). And then I moved again and again for various reasons. And then I ended up living abroad in places where it wasn't easy to bring all the boxes along. It's been a tricky balance :)

Great set of simulations!

Can someone explain why in Simulation 16, 4 producing workers can support 3 non-producing workers consuming just as much as them with just 10% taxation and yet they have similar QOL? It doesn't make sense to me intuitively.

If we ignore money and just look at goods this implies 3 people can do "nothing" (the government workers don't buy from anyone in this simulation) and yet consume as much as 4 people who do produce, and the 4 taxed people only have to pay 10% taxes while everyone enjoys similar quality of life as 60% taxation.

It would be like imagine you have four cartons of ten eggs and you tax 10% of each one. How can you end up with 3 whole cartons just from that taxes, it would only be four eggs, less than half of one carton rather than three extra cartons of the same size as the new reduced carton size of 9.

Based on my personal experience, the answer is yes. Hired a lot of Europeans in London, Dublin, Munich, Zurich, Budapest and Lisbon over the last decade. Only Zurich came close to SV compensation levels.

The government isn’t pursuing this because of the language. It’s because they think Google legitimately did anti-competitive things.

That already exists. It's called "tap to pass." Tap down the left stalk but don't let it indent, and then it'll flash three to five times (depending on manufacturer) before resetting. Even then most modern steering wheels have speed sensitive systems that let you just bip the wheel right or left to turn off the turn signal at highway speeds without a full quarter rotation of the wheel.

That may not necessarily be the reason. It could simply be until recently nobody believed there could be positive medical uses for MDMA specifically. Not all recreational drugs have legitimate medical uses, or are better than existing medically prescribed drugs.

After our current opioid crisis, it's not unreasonable to assume research on opioid medical usage will decline or stop - outside what has already been studied, for example.
Probably more money in price gouging during power shortages than building power plants that usually sit idle.
There are many social aspects to the "male" and "female" experience in society, it helps to separate those out from congenital physiology. For example, living as a woman often entails responsibilities of caregiving, housekeeping, and/or "social reproduction." Certain "emotional labors" are also relegated to women's roles, such as calendaring and keeping in touch, but none of these are safely assumed to have derived from congenital sex.

Expectations of eg emotional stoicism in men preclude eg certain platonic intimacies that are common among women. Gendered relationship norms significantly influence our mental and physical health. It would be unscientific to presume they were physiologically congenital. For that reason, it makes sense to refer to study participants by their "sex assigned at birth," rather than presuming any overlap between socialized gender and congenital sex. Remember, in scientific inquiry, precision is key.

I've spent many an hour watching my favourite brainiac birds, kea [0] interact, their vocalizations aren't as complex as, say, a tūī or a minah, but they also use facial expressions (for want of a better phrase) intensively when communicating.
And their capacity for knowledge transfer is top tier. Once one kea figures out a new way to get food, then soon all their buddies will know the technique too.

Which is cool, but sucks if their new technique is used to get _your_ food.

One year there was a group of kea who would effectively mug solo hikers who'd set up camp. They'd break into your tent and/or backpack by undoing the zips, and would use decoy kea to distract you while doing so (a group of parrots pulling out your tent pegs or removing your bootlaces is very distracting indeed.)

And at a popular photo stop [1], they have their routine for fleecing tourists down pat - a couple of kea will cavort charmingly to get your attention, and when you start taking photos, their accomplices will then try to access your bag, or even your car if you left the door open...

Ah, I see. I don't know about your resume or whether it really needs changing, but it's quite common for 3rd party recruiters to want all of their recruits to use a "house style" resume format. Usually, in my experience, they'll take your resume and reformat it themselves rather than have you do it.

I wouldn't take their formatting preferences as an indication that their format is better. They just want it to be standardized with their others.
> In scientific writing, such as studies like this - just the facts please.

But those are just very precise facts? Clarifying that they refer to "female sex assigned at birth" is strictly less ambiguous than "female".

Other than freemium/marketing tiers, are there examples of payment being decoupled from distribution?

One HN example was the Rails Tutorial. A successful programming book only earns low five figures. The early versions of Rails Tutorial, where most of the content was free to read online without registration, earned mid six figures in revenue from paid ebooks (same content as the public material) and bonus videos. Looks like the most recent version is subscription-only.

A quick look at the number of shootings over the past six years shows that the number of fatalities in shootings reached a new record in 2022.

Not really a "simulator" since it's driven by real humans interacting. I'd say it's just a virtual world with its own real economy.

An interesting thing you can do with a simulator is pause, rewind, make arbitrary experiments, run counterfactuals, etc -- all of which are prohibited in Eve since it needs to respect the users who are there to have fun, not be test subjects.

The point is design vs execution. Tesla's goal isn't to put critical controls and displays in an inconvenient or unsafe location; it's to make fewer controls and displays critical, so that drivers can focus on driving.

It's a valid criticism that their execution hasn't completely achieved the goal. But if you think the goal is wrong, then yeah, that's a great reason to avoid Teslas, because they're going to keep removing more and more controls and readouts as they automate them or make them irrelevant.
Irrigation is PVC in parts of the US, but black poly in others. I’m in New England where black poly is much more common (as it’s somewhat more freeze breakage resistant, even though we still blow them out). PVC is more common in areas with mild winters.
