And when they are charged under federal law, it is often a negotiated downgrade from distribution, i.e. people rarely get sentenced for mere possession.

This is incredibly incorrect. If you are going to bore Hacker News with pedantry-- at least bother to look up that the "modern" era ended somewhere around 1945.

So yes, it refers to a specific era in the past.

Probably not; federally, simple possession of marijuana carries a maximum 1 year sentence and had 145 convictions in 2021, with zero prisoners as of January 2022 in federal custody solely on simple possession of marijuana charges.

The impact of this is almost entirely on clearing past records, not releasing current offenders.

I bought a Biostar J4125NHU motherboard and put it in a small case with two 2.5 HDDs and two SSDs and am using it to download shows and movies from a Usenet provider and stream them with Jellyfin.

The motherboard was a huge pain to work with, and I had to return two (!) units; I made the third one work. The first two would not boot in the same configuration.

When I was 16 I was coasting to the State Science Fair on a fishing game I'd written two years earlier. Taught myself programming with the GW Basic language book. Totally worth it because I got to miss most of a day of class each for the county and regional fairs, and two for state.

These days i use wemod or cheatengine to bypass the challenge in games. I buy games to support the arts, and play games to see the story or experience the art. But the second a game has a time sink element, i break out the cheats to bypass it. I don't mind challenging content, but i give each game maybe 5-10 "reload from checkpoint" before i bypass the content with a cheat.

back when i used to "compete" in starcraft, i don't know what my action rate was or anything. I didn't micro that much, either. I never played terran, only protoss and occasionally zerg if my opponent was a well known zerg-er. at one point i was top 10 in the world, and i forget if that excluded or included cheaters. That was something we used to joke about, me and my competitive gaming friends, especially the RTS leaderboards - "ranked 23rd, but everyone above me is an obvious cheater!" After starcraft and Total Annhilation, went on to getting ranked top 10 in a few FPS (never counterstrike, barely played, oddly), and leaderboards on indie games. Having a newborn took the steam out, no pun intended.
It’s rare to see that but almost every time I have looked it’s been because the developer did something which used a Chrome API instead of a web standard. I’ve found it best to develop in Firefox and Safari, because Chrome almost always works the first time you test it and you don’t accidentally introduce a dependency on something which is still being standardized.

Ah, well, they actually are though.
What is top of mind for me currently, based on observations from my experience: Doubt can be strongly embodied. Meaning, it's not as simple as thinking your way out of it.

As much as I've achieved personally and professionally, when I put myself outside of my comfort zone and into the public arena of judging eyes, I still face doubt.

As much as I can steel myself mentally, remind myself of my accomplishments, analyze my situation, etc. there is a part of me, perhaps as a self-protection mechanism, that creates doubt. That doubt colors my entire experience, influencing my thoughts and actions. Overall it acts as a limiter. I can feel the difference in my body.

I can be aware of all of this, and counteract it to some extent, but it has its own gravity. It's all very impressive in the most literal sense of the word.

So I am learning more about how doubt shows up, and how to work with it beyond simple motivational tricks. For example: Letting go of the need to control it, getting very familiar with the nature of it, and reorienting myself even as I fail to accomplish my goals again and again.

Happy New Year HN. May you find the resilience to overcome whatever doubts are holding you back from living the life you want.

"One thing the President might be able to do is to remove legally-sourced marijuana use as a disqualification for holding a US security clearance."

Just to clarify, current use of marijuana is a disqualification for a security clearance. Past use of marijuana is not a disqualifier. When I was a younger man I used marijuana, mushrooms, LSD, cocaine and MDMA. Several of them very frequently. I disclosed all of this prior use and was able to get multiple security clearances through the years.

I no longer have nor will in the future have a security clearance so I now enjoy my legal weed.
As an immigrant, this stood out to me:

> ... I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., do hereby grant a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to all current United States citizens and lawful permanent residents who ...

> ... This pardon does not apply to individuals who were non-citizens not lawfully present in the United States at the time of their offense.

In the first of the above, it specifically states that it applies to citizens and lawful permanent residents. In the second, it says it does not apply to people who didn't have valid immigration status.

So, what happens to someone who had a valid immigration status, but was not a lawful permanent resident? For example, someone on a student or a tourist visa?

Can anyone with legal expertise shed some light on how such things are usually resolved? My naive expectation would be that it still would only apply to citizens and lawful permanent residents. But then, why specifically call out that it doesn't apply to this specific group out of many other groups that aren't covered under "citizens or lawful permanent residents"?

I'd like to know if there's any way whole foods can get enshittified.

Some people say there's a real difference in health between non-organic and organic foods, others say it's BS. Anecdotally, some people say the meat and produce from places like and Walmart are worse than those from places like Whole foods, and generics are worse than brand names, even ignoring organic vs. non-organic; but I wonder how much is placebo, and how much is a real difference in nutrition. I assume that some products are literally the same thing repackaged, but others are different in ways that matter.

There's also things which are supposed to be monitored by the FDA, like using pesticides and injecting meat with saline. My understanding is that the FDA is pretty strict in the US but who knows?

Foods like:

- Fresh fruit and vegetables

- Frozen fruit and vegetables

- Canned fruit and vegetables

- Eggs

- Dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt)

- Grains (oats, rice)

- Fresh meat and fish

- Frozen meat and fish

- Canned meat and fish (e.g. canned chicken, tuna)

- Ground meat

- Seasoning

- Olive oil, butter
Exactly this. In London they have even reduced the number of car parks new apartment buildings are allocated. One place I looked at only had ~20 parks for ~80 flats. They can only do this because there’s a great public transport system in place.
The top guys are operating from Myanmar, they have a deal with the military junta there.
Jimmy Carter did the same almost half a century ago by granting a blanket pardon to Vietnam war draft dodgers, and all of them have lived to a ripe old age without being taken to court to test the pardon.

> As the proclamation says, the District of Columbia's local laws are technically federal laws. So it wipes out the convictions of a good number of people in one of our major cities.

According to the report that preceded this action, more than 75% of all federal possession convictions were prosecuted in Arizona. Apparently it was just a rogue jurisdiction.

It's not logical to solve any drug problem by making it illegal.

Illegal means that we don't want people to help, it means we don't want them to do something between don't like it.

Otherwise it doesn't make sense that the result is jail as jail is for punishment (it shouldn't) and not for rehabilitation.

> Also, software developers are naturally biased against Microsoft Office. For no good reason.

I don't know any individual's reason for being biased for or against anything, but I think that, if the claim is that there is no good reason to be biased against Microsoft Office, then that's false. My personal gripe is that Office's approach is just fundamentally antithetical to the idea that I know what I want to do with my document better than Office itself does; it's always trying to guess and, for a recent infuriating example, getting a bulleted list to indent the way that I want it can be an epic battle.

btw the sn7400 is already a fairly advanced ic; something like an uln2003 is closer to 'the simplest real world integrated circuit'

probably the best place to start for this, in a top-down sequence, is the art of electronics by horowitz and hill. it explains how transistors and diodes act in §1.6, §2, and §3, initially explaining transistors with the simplified 'current amplifier' model (which already goes beyond the 'transistor switch' model you're thinking of), then quantitatively with the ebers–moll model; they're focused on how to use this information to design working circuits from discrete components you can put together on a circuit board. camenzind's designing analog chips (available free online) goes into how to use this information to design actual chips (not only does nand2tetris get into things like metastability and noise margin, the authors seem to be confused about what a chip even is, thinking you can make a chip by assembling other chips)

but the ebers–moll model is still not solid-state physics knowledge. so far the best overview i've found of that is madou's 'fundamentals of microfabrication and nanotechnology' which has a couple of chapters about solid-state physics, going into the historical development of quantum mechanics. but it's not really a quantum mechanics textbook; it's just an overview that shows where quantum-mechanical knowledge fits into understanding solid-state physics

'the feynman lectures on physics' is the best quantum mechanics textbook i've found so far, but because my knowledge of quantum mechanics is even more minimal, please don't trust my recommendation on this

hope this helps. good luck in your learning voyage!

When it comes to influencing, that stuff really does get passed from parent to child in the form of family blogging. Especially because there’s no legality around it yet, you’re free to teach your child from infancy to attract attention in front of the camera from anonymous strangers.
Your argument about marijuana being easier to prove is a very bad scenario, regardless of how common it is/used to be. By the same logic why not make it illegal to wear socks, it would provide reason for the system to punish anybody they are 'fairly sure' is up to some other crime.

On the chance this may be helpful, I recently used Radiology Assist [0] to self-pay for two 3-Tesla MRIs. Each MRI cost $375 - total - and included a radiology report and a copy of the MRI images. I have health insurance. It was cheaper to just pay for it myself. Also, Radiology Assist was able to get me in on the exact day and time I wanted, on short notice.

I have no connection to the company other than as a satisfied customer.

Apple tends to put effort behind web APIs long after others do. WebGL, progressive web apps, etc etc… they put the effort in when it’s starting to become a competitive disadvantage not to.

WebGPU feels like an outlier in that respect but then it is intended as a “better” WebGL so it makes sense that if you already have WebGL you might as well have WebGPU. It’s a lot closer to Apple’s Metal API than WebGL is so they have an interest in people switching.

What about sugar? Processed meat and fat? Carcinogenics in general? What is the extent of the control we are willing to relinquish to the government in order to control substance abuse?

And how about shifting the discussion from prohibition and control of use to the democatization of healthcare access for people to heal from addiction, if we are so interested in the welfare of addicts at this point?

Seriously. I can't believe that all of these auto makers got bailed out just so that they can screw around with stuff that will never be their area of expertise. Where is the innovation on gas mileage, impact safety beyond making the vehicles larger, getting decent diesels that can meet EPA regulations for passenger vehicles, etc?

Instead automakers keep on reusing platforms that are hardly different from their previous generation and tack on software-based 'innovations' like they're a tech company. Usually for the worse like in this instance, replacing the (hardly) tried and true interfaces of CarPlay and Android Auto with their own software. Before this it was switching out climate control knobs for on-screen which don't work with gloves, throttle profiles which will never be used, etc...
Your first and your third point are not responding to what I actually said.

Your second point is replying to a general quantitative statement with anecdotes. Of course there will be unusual situations. This does not support your original wrong claim that Cruise was being disingenuous.
I support full legalization of cannabis and I agree that those are valid concerns.

Yes, the harm done to addicts will probably increase. There's always trade offs. I think people on the pro-legalization side are not doing enough to address this.

One of the problems with public discourse is that each side doesn't want to give an inch to the other side. I think a lot of people who support legalization of cannabis kinda know that harms to addicts might increase, but they're afraid that if they mention that then that will just give a talking point to the prohibitionists.

Both sides are guilty of misusing or ignoring facts and concerns that don't benefit their preferred take on the issue. However, it seems to me the prohibitionists are far more egregious when it comes making bad arguments.
Serializble is easy to reason about and it also moves the problems with distributed systems to the database where it can more appropriately be handled imo.

Reminds me of a paper by by Hardy[1] where he introduces five reasonable axioms (his words). Classical and quantum probability theory obeys the first four. However the fifth, which states that there exists continuous transformations between pure states, is only obeyed by the quantum theory.

In that sense he argues that quantum theory is in a sense more reasonable than classical theory.

There's also an interesting link between this and entanglement[2] which seems to rule out other probability theories, leaving only quantum theory able to exhibit entanglement.

Not my field at all though, just find these foundational things interesting to ponder.

Beeper can sue. Anyone can sue. But it’s whether the case has merit. Beeper’s would have none. Apple would counter sue, claim CFAA, and probably win without much effort at all. Their network, their rules, period. I am truly baffled how many people on HN think it’s cool for some third party to circumvent protections and use a network they don’t own or control. Remember peaking? Yeah.

If this was YOUR network, would you be fine letting some third party, who’s not paying you, to use it as they wish and profit from that use? I really doubt it. If you say sure, that’s totally fine, I will challenge anyone here to prove it. Accordingly, please post your WiFi network credentials and GPS location here. We can use your network just like Beeper used Apple’s. Then sell access to others through our connection.
