[0]> According to FDA manufacturer surveys, by 1962, US production reached an estimated 80000 kg of amphetamine salts, corresponding to consumption of 43 standard 10-mg doses per person per year on a total-population basis. Thus, in amphetamine alone, the United States in the early 1960s was using nearly as much psychotropic medication as the 65 doses per person per year in the present decade that social critics today find so extraordinary. And the 1960s are rightly remembered for excessive minor tranquilizer consumption, around 14 standard doses per person per year on the basis of retail prescription sales. It is rarely appreciated that in the early 1960s, amphetamines were actually consumed at a higher rate than tranquilizers.

Total amphetamine production 2024[1]:

Lisdexamfetamine 26,500kg

d-amphetamine (for sale) 21,200kg

d,l-amphetamine 21,200kg

d-amphetamine (for conversion) 20,000kg

Population of USA in 1962: 184.9 million

Population of USA Today: 331.9 million

This covers the 41.4 million prescriptions for amphetamine in 2021 which would be enough for 3.45 million people, but not illicit amphetamine/methamphetamine. 1.2 million Americans reported using methamphetamine in the past year. Also other similar stimulants like methylphenidate, modafinil would also have to be calculated into any analysis, these weren't nearly as popular in the 1960's. 63,000kg of methylphenidate are produced in USA for 2024.

MPL 2.0 has been the preferred license for CTO Bryan Cantrill and crew for more than a decade:

“And because any conversation about open source has to address licensing at some point or another, let’s get that out of the way: we opted for the Mozilla Public License 2.0. While relatively new, there is a lot to like about this license: its file-based copyleft allows it to be proprietary-friendly while also forcing certain kinds of derived work to be contributed back; its explicit patent license discourages litigation, offering some measure of troll protection; its explicit warranting of original work obviates the need for a contributor license agreement (we’re not so into CLAs); and (best of all, in my opinion), it has been explicitly designed to co-exist with other open source licenses in larger derived works. Mozilla did terrific work on MPL 2.0, and we hope to see it adopted by other companies that share our thinking around open source!”

Also discussed around 38 minute of https://youtu.be/Zpnncakrelk?si=DkSW6CM_MS-q1Gyd

Although not explicitly stated there are like deeper roots here “The one important exception to these generalizations is Sun Microsystems' CDDL, which was a true improvement on MPL 1.1, and which continues to cover a substantial amount of important open source software. … I encourage Oracle, the current CDDL steward, to consider relicensing its CDDL code under MPL 2.0, which is as worthy a successor to CDDL 1.0 as it is to MPL 1.1.” from Richard Fontana’s article at the time of the MPL 2.0 release, https://opensource.com/law/12/1/the-new-mpl

With its compatibility with strong, older copyright licenses I’m surprised the license has not had more widespread adoption. It is a not too hot, not too cold porridge of a file level copyleft and CYA OSS license with the strong backing of Mozilla.
The good news is that addressing this kind of thing is the hot topic in gifted education, and has been for some time. The “I suddenly got very dumb” story’s nigh-universality has been noticed, and they’re working on fixing it.

The bad news is that you may have been too early for that. Well, and also that I’m not sure how effective efforts to address it have actually been.

The two cannot be unlinked so easily when I have never met someone so doesn't have the same story of hospital IT. Even the IT workers hate hospital IT. The deployment of an EMR has to take into account the regulatory and security requirements imposed on all digital systems.

> I get emails notifying me I have a "message", instead of even offering me the option of receiving an email with the actual message.

You need to bash the right heads together and get your email provider and sender in DirectTrust https://directtrust.org/what-we-do/direct-secure-messaging

Not gonna say it's not a bitch and a half to implement but you can send sensitive data directly via email. And if you're the SaaS provider you're part of DT that's a huge value add for your offerings.
"Unconstitutional" arguments only go so far. I am not America (I'm a proud Australian) so I can easily see the incredibly obvious and ridiculous destruction "freedom" in your country entails.

Anonymity services can still exist without fostering an environment to addict children and young adults to social media or a device... and without your precious "rights" being taken away.
I don't think this:

> the benefit vs downside of most new technology is assymetricaly in favor of the upsides

Follows from this:

> primarily due to human nature being assymetrically good natured.

Even though I agree with the second one.

How many people are involved in adtech, finding new and ever more cynical ways to collect, mine, and exploit your data to manipulate consumer behavior to their benefit? A tiny minority. And yet their work influences nearly everyone in the developed world every day.

How many people are willing to use nuclear weapons against their fellow humans? Again, a tiny minority, but it only takes a few. If the majority of people being good natured was a safeguard, the existence of nuclear weapons would be of no concern to anyone.

There's an asymmetry you're not accounting for: the asymmetry of power wielded by those who are willing to use a technology for nefarious purposes. It only takes a handful of people (relatively speaking) to buy and sell the personal information of billions, to deploy a weapon, or to exploit for personal gain what is essentially a mind control device as you've described it.

Also, while people may be "asymmetrically good natured", I would argue that they're also asymmetrically naive and ineffectual. Just look at domestic spying in the Five Eyes nations. That was considered a wild conspiracy theory for years until Snowden proved it was happening. Then after he proved it, tons of people just shrugged and said "well they're doing it to protect us, and I have nothing to hide anyway". A lot of that "good nature" people have isn't goodness, it's harmlessness. They're not good like Batman, they're good like a bunny rabbit. That's part of the reason it's so easy for the evil minority to wield such power over them.
> “He was followed into the bathroom by three violent criminals. He was beaten, forced on the ground, and brutally gang raped. After this violent attack, one of the criminals held a shank against his neck and told him that if he reported the rape to anyone, he would be murdered,” the lawsuit said.

Every square inch of the prison should be covered by cameras. Of all the new powers and fancy equipment law enforcement seeks, this should come first.

Yes, put cameras in the bathroom. It's stupid that we wring our hands over bathroom privacy in jails while rapes are so common. "You'll get raped, but at least you'll have privacy". Stupid.
Oh it could be much worse. You should see how bad government run HIE’s are.
The email thing is probably a privacy requirement. Email isn't encrypted meaning your email provider (and the EMR's) can fully read the contents of said email.

It makes sense that some neurodegenerative diseases with unknown etiologies are caused by prions or prion-like proteins.

It could be fruitful to study the rate of Alzheimer's among nursing assistants who work in elder care. I found a few resourcas stating a higher rate for caregiver's in general along with nurses.

I have thought decreased immune function from aging leads to the increased permeability of the blood brain barrier: which leads to the infiltration of pathogens and now possibly prions.

I would assume this could be, or possibly has been, studied in animal models.

But I think the only thing it has to do to be useful if you have enough disposable income is to be an immersive movie or private computing experience on a plane or road trip or something.

That is not how I read it at all. To me, it reads as "there are likely many reasons these markets aren't operating efficiently".

The time value of money and fees certainly are part of it, but they don't explain things like, for example, the weight of money in the Trump-by-280+-EV contract.
Yeah, because an electrical appliance catching on fire is never deadly?

What a bunch of hysterical hand-wringing.

They just needed to a program a timer on the heater circuit and/or add sensors; the engines are already incredibly instrumented so this wouldn't be hard to do.

"Cannot fail in ways that render the plane inoperable" is precisely why there should not be a system that if forgotten about by the pilots past ~10 minutes causes the destruction of the engine nacelle and thus both probable destruction of the engines and penetration of the body of the aircraft by parts of said engine when it ingests parts of the nacelle.

You don't understand how serious that is. The nacelle of a jet engine is designed to contain a blade-off event where one or more blades - each of which has a massive amount of kinetic energy - completely break off from the turbine rotor at takeoff power levels.

The level of corporate apologism in your comment is breathtaking.
These kinds of statements are why it's going to succeed. Apple hasn't failed in the last 20 years, so that of course means this attempt won't fail either. You get enough devs hyped up because it's an infallible Apple product, they rush to build a bunch of apps for it to get their name out there, people buy it because it says Apple on it, it's claimed as the winner because it's got the most apps and has made the most money. Technical considerations are only secondary at best

...mm... but they didnt say "we have updated our plan and will now focus on an engineered solution".

That's not even a paraphrase of what they said.

They said:

> we are confident that the proposed time-limited exemption for that system follows established FAA processes

When we know that:

1) The established FAA processes resulted in a variation of this aircraft that crashed.

2) The established FAA processes resulted in a variation of this aircraft that had part of the hull pop out mid-flight.

3) The established FAA processes resulted in Boeing doing their own certification of their own aircraft.

We know also know:

4) They asked for a safety exemption for the new variation of this aircraft under the 'The established FAA processes'.

slow clap...

If we're talking about investor and consumer confidence and bland corporate HR talk, they could have phrased this in any number of other ways (like saying literally what you said) that didn't draw attention to the fact that they continue to de-prioritize safety.

What they actually said does the opposite of the intended effect of 'we're focusing on safety' and instead says (to me at least) 'we continue to think we can ignore the FAA safety rules for our aircraft until a senate committee makes a fuss about it'.
In what sense did the rating agencies do a terrible job here? First B is a junk rating, not investment grade. Secondly if you get paid 7.9% for six years plus a market price of 30 cents on the dollar you get back more than 75 cents on the dollar, which would have been comparable to the performance of US 30 year Treasury issued around the same time. People do realize that if the principal is not paid back then whether there is one year or 90 years left on the bond term is irrelevant, right? In other words if you suspect the default risk is high you might as well buy the 100 year instead of the 10 year to get compensated by the higher premium.
What could we learn from taking it out of the water vs leaving it in its grave?

There will be no FAA safety notices (or whatever they are called) based on the findings.

Some of the stores will sell models to individuals, despite being directed at the food industry.

Many of the cookware, metalware and china stores around here are display sites for volume sales and are less interested in selling one-off china to westerners. "it depends" -The knives they sell are fantastic but not having an entire side of bluefin tuna to de-bone, I couldn't justify one.

The tiny bespoke "your bidet or toilet will look like this" models in the plumbing supplies stores which are made of porcelain and fired with the exact revolting avocado-green or puke-pink hue you want are also very sweet. I can't quite decide what you'd do with them, maybe plant a tiny cactus or something.
So Chinese factories are capable of high quality manufacturing. And Chinese brands are capable of high quality design and manufacturing.

That’s what I was trying to get across. As I said earlier you get what you pay for. I can buy great products made in China by Chinese companies and terrible products made in Switzerland by Swiss companies.

albeit a stupid one; whereas Racket actively targets beginners in particular.

Also, this is ISO we're talking about here; we probably shouldn't expect anything technically competent from them that isn't just a rubber-stamped version of someone else's specification, and they didn't call it "ISO Standard Common Lisp" or "ISO Standard Scheme", presumably for good reason.

Ah, I see what you mean. I guess it's a matter of framing - to me, choosing to install and run Typescript is the equivalent of choosing to install and run mypy - in both cases, you've added an additional tool above and beyond the default (Javascript and Python, respectively). I guess I don't really see Typescript as a separate language from Javascript in the sense, it's just Javascript with knobs on.

So there isn't really a "minimum" Typescript workflow because by using Typescript, you're already choosing to install additional tools and set up a more complicated workflow (compile then run, as opposed to just running Javascript). And if you'd do that with Javascript, you'd do that with Typescript as well.

(I think it's no coincidence that the long-term plan from the Typescript team is to have type annotations become part of regular Javascript syntax, in the same way that Python includes type annotations out of the box. In both cases, they'd be ignored by the parser and only used as metadata for the purposes of a separate type checking tool. The Typescript team do not see themselves as developing a separate language to Javascript, but rather just a dialect that includes types.)
