You don't need to inject it. I use ketamine for management of depression, though I've thankfully been doing well and haven't needed it for the past 6-8 months. The fast relief getting you back to being able to function and care for yourself day to day is soooo helpful.

Did you need to go into the k-hole to achieve results?

Definitely not, but you are going to get weird for 45 minutes.

The study in that forbes article used 50mg intranasally (basically snorted). The earlier study backing ketamine's efficacy[1] used "0.5 mg/kg diluted in saline, administered over 40 minutes by IV pump". Works out to 35mg for a 70kg guy with a drug delivery rate in the ballpark of snorting it.

Redosing protocol is up to you, I'd read both papers, track your mood, and decide something reasonable. [1] dumps a fair amount of K into their volunteers in one part. Basically the 35mg every two to three days. When depression hits hard I do 35mg every one or two weeks, and go up to 3 weeks as I'm feeling better.

I like dissociatives but maaan 35-50mg is pretty much the least pleasant dose. You're not near k-holing but reality is still pretty bent for about 45 minutes. Normal social interaction is totally out of the question for me and my thinking is warped. What works best for me to handle it is putting on an album I can play all the way through, lying down and meditating on the music until I sober up.

Cheers!

Free (as in freedom) software developers often write software that serves some purpose for themselves. That is, there are any number of people writing GPL software for...software development and similar things.

Consider the grandparent post again:

> If the last several decades have shown us anything, it's that the free software movement is excellent at creating some kinds of software (operating systems, development tolls, severs) and generally pretty bad at many other kinds of software (games, content creation software, etc).

This seems to suggest that, if the last several decades have shown us anything, free (as in freedom) software developers are more likely to be willing to write software used for software development, and not very likely to write high quality games or content creation software like Photoshop.

It's well known that those in the free software community are often not paid very well, if at all. Consider the problems OpenSSL has had getting funding, despite millions of people all over the world using it every day.

The people who _are_ writing Photoshop are very much in it for the money, and are taking every step they can to ensure a steady income stream. Look at how Adobe is now trying to rent people Photoshop instead of giving them their own copy.
There are 41 million acre feet of reservoir in California. The 10 largest reservoirs account for over half that, and the top 50 account for 90%. The unlisted reservoirs beyond the 250 in the table don;t account for much storage. The big 10 million plus acre feet reservoirs average 60 years old.
The beauty resides in the privacy.

A little disappointed that neither the article nor comments have made much of the argument that any species which has made it through billions of years of evolution is intrinsically a thing of value. As for planned extinction, I feel the bar should be set high: we needn't know, right now, what their long-term value must be.

Nevertheless, if I try to find some specific value to mosquitoes, it is likely related to the thing that also makes them pernicious. They are evasive, clever, micro-scale hunters some of which have co-evolved with humans for millions of years. Their feeding indicates they might be used for drug delivery, weapons, communications, logistics.

Just from one person's point of view, it would be a shame if, ten years after total eradication, Moore's Law delivered a boat-load of potential applications for mosquitoes. And of course if these insects have a say in the matter, we know how they'd likely vote.
There was an article[1] from a few years ago about Cloudflare's infrastructure and from the sounds of it they can't link customers to data. Data does exists because that's the nature of a cache, but its defined with an undefined timestamp and is purged regularly in order to have enough disk space.

>Unlike most database applications, the cache stored at each CloudFlare facility has an undefined expiration date—and because of the nature of those facilities, it isn't a simple matter to add more storage. To keep the utilization level of installed storage high, the cache system simply purges older cache data when it needs to store new content.

>The downside of the hash-based cache's simplicity is that it has no built-in logging system to track content. CloudFlare can't tell customers which data centers have copies of which content they've posted. "A customer will ask me, 'Tell me all of the files you have in cache,'" Prince said. "For us, all we know is there are a whole bunch of hashes sitting on a disk somewhere—we don't keep track of which object belongs to what site."

Used firechat in the area yesterday, I think there are two issues:

1. information overload, hard to catch up the messages from all the people

2. some people are spreading rumors and fake information.

It would be great if we still can use the underlying network but have a way to filter out information (e.g. mgs from friends or friends or friends only)

I do not think self-employment damages your employability so long as you have something to talk about at interviews. Self-employment is still employment. Any employer that is going to be successful in talent acquisition among the younger generations will know this.

The tech industry illustrates this regularly with company cultures that embrace diverse career backgrounds.

Of course i think your field will probably determine how much my statement applies. For my field in software, independent contracting is a common feature in ones work history especially for the younger generations. I would look at your peers in your industry and domain for clues.

Funny. When I lived in the U.S. I was called by a Google recruiter.

I don't see Google besting me here where it comes to the tailored needs.
its not really the same in this case it updates in the background and stuff runs locally using NaCl
Another thing history might teach is that when critical resources like food and water are so poorly and corruptly managed that the result is famine and drought, millions of people can die. I suppose we're going to call that disruptive innovation?
Maybe "free" has become too expensive. As the technology needed to provide a service gets cheaper, the revenue needed to support it drops. The ad density ought to drop too, but it doesn't. That
creates a vulnerability for "free" social services. They can be undercut on user attention cost.

What does it really cost to run a social network? $5/user/month? $1/user/month? If you could put it on your phone bill, would you notice?

As for "The fact is nobody has ever made a significant move away from any internet provider because of advertising or data", remember Myspace. They were #1 once. Their ad density got too high and people got fed up and left.
It's true that it seems to be a lot of work in implementation. NN have a complexity/performance ratio much higher than other algorithms. But hey ! la fin justifie les moyens, I'm quite impressed with the result and had a lot of fun with the demo and the article. Keep it up guys !

Can someone explain why a statically typed Hindley-Milner language like OCaml needs to box everything in the first place?
I interviewed there for a devops/sys admin role and ran far away after that process when I learned about what is going on and problems the ops group has to solve.

Then reading this fluff piece made me glad I never even thought about working there after that phone interview. Whoever claims a DNS round robin is a good way to handle fail over doesn't really know what they are talking about. I have dug into the how something like rsyslog handles a dns request. My guess is it just passes it off to the OS.

But what I got from this is loggly is ok with losing customer data
Yeah I saw that. I don't think that's going to work. People are really used to not paying for things, unfortunately. Also - your target demographic as a social network is usually young people from 13-21, and we don't have a payment solution for most of those users. I'm gonna have a hard time justifying the credit card purchase to my parents if I'm 14 years old. "What's it for?" "So I can reblog on my Ello" "Sorry, what? No."
> Have you held one?

I have. I admit it actually felt sturdy and rigid, but I don't think we should put so much weight on it merely feeling sturdy and rigid. How it feels is just how it feels, feels can be very deceiving, they don't conclusively say whether something will last.

> But doesn't that just prove it's stupid to put a phablet in your back pocket? There's no hope of making a phone stronger than a thick metal key.

Putting it in one's back pocket is stupid, I don't know anyone who does that though (I don't know anyone who did that with their Galaxy Notes for years it's been out). An individual I know reports he had his iPhone bent while it was in his front pant pocket. He says he doesn't vividly remember when or how it was bent, but strongly suspects it's when he was squatting American style (like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Michael_V... ). It appears that Galaxy Note is able to withstand this kind of stress, it's just the iPhone 6 that cannot.

At present, I'm not sure what to make of this. I know one person already who had his iPhone bent, and plenty of folks online. But it's difficult to put a number on how many people at this time have had their iPhones bent (selection bias and all on online forums). I think we should give it about 6 months and see if more people are having this problem, as reliable and clear data on this issue is not out there for us to see at this time.

What is it with Cloudflare marketing posts making page 1 on a daily basis? Is there some business relationship between HN and CF?

The title of this one started off as "free" SSL. Now it is "universal SSL". C'mon. As vader1 points out, the level of potential deception here is getting a wee bit high.

CF is just a MITM. A website owner lets CF control her DNS and this allows CF to route all requests for her website through CF servers; CF stands between the website and the user.

Unless the website owner configures SSL then the user only gets an encrypted connection to CF. That's hardly "universal" SSL.

Looks tumblr-ish with a splash of Facebook thrown in. Or maybe tumblr/twitter hybrid?
It looks like Ello's claim is that the problems with social networks revolve around privacy and data mining. Personally, those things aren't nearly my primary issue - my main frustration with social media is the type of content it encourages people to share, resulting in (in my experience) a platform built primarily for expressions of vanity.

For me, until that changes, social media primarily exists as a personal communication mechanism via messages. In that case the network effect dominates all other features.
Privacy and social networking are irreconcilable.

If you want to keep something private, don't post it on a social networking site.
No, you require that /everyone/ be short sighted and at the same time, not actually looking after their own interests.

While I do agree that people are generally selfish, my experience with various executives across industries is that they're hardly stupid, and that there are many smart people working on the world's problems, even if only to make a buck off it.

More to the point, I only need to think that a one-in-a-million person cares to do anything about the "peak oil problem", is intelligent, and is in a position to do so in order to believe that there are 7,000 people working actively on it.

There are only a few hundred major oil companies globally, meaning that each one will like have a dozen (or more, for larger ones) people who are intelligent, highly motivated one-in-a-million people working on it.

I think you greatly underestimate the number of people and the scale at which humans currently operate.

It would be borderline impossible for them to all be short-sighted in the same way, at the same time, given the sheer number of people who are working on the problem, particularly given that there's a strong economic incentive to not make that mistake.

tl;dr: No, your belief requires that literally everyone in the oil industry thought process (tens or hundreds of thousands of people) not be looking after their own self-interests if they're driving the bus off a cliff, and that they will all do so in the same manner and at the same time.

傅振中並向警方舉報，本月5日，署名「民主真兄弟」的市民在互聯網揭露反對派公然勾結外國勢力，其中指稱有美國駐港領事館人員向香港中學生及大專生領袖稱，即使他們有非法行為也「不用擔心」，因為「美國會給予他們去外國留學及定居的機會」，令人懷疑美國直接用利益去引誘香港青少年去做違法行為。

Basically saying that the American consulate told secondary school students that they don't need to worry about illegal behaviour because they can study and settle in the US.

The outside foreign forces line is very common though - the above is one example from a quick search.

Also I don't see the assumption in the parent that majority of Chinese want a democratic government.
Well, one datapoint means nothing. Also, if this is aimed at advertisers, it's more useful to identify people whose interests skew (stereotypically) male or female.

In addition to what the sibling commenter said:

* Top industry leaders like the Foxconn boss are deep blue, the blue side has VERY deep pockets
* The Taiwanese media is heading towards a pro-China monopoly, see these protests in 2012: http://www.thechinastory.org/2012/12/the-anti-media-monopoly...
* Write something critical about China and you might realise that gangsters are also pro-unification: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/hongkong/1066...
(during recent student protests in Taiwan, a high-profile pro-China gangster also tried to intimidate participants)
* and last but not least, I got the impression that the Taiwanese public is completely tired of the whole pro/contra China conflict and would much rather look at cat pictures or try to fix their income gap.

I was shocked when I was changing planes in the PRC with Taiwanese friends and they did not know that the internet there is censored. Can you imagine that, in a country that is semi-doomed to be annexed by neighbouring China?

OK those are all valid downsides, but here's a potential upside:

A software company will make more profit selling its software as a service than a single-fee product. Therefore consumers will find software developed for them in markets which were previously not viable.

To take a personal example: I develop traditional desktop accounting software for the UK market. There is absolutely no way that I could produce a version for India due to piracy. I also cannot produce a version for Ireland because I simply would not get a good return on my investment. But if I provide my accounting software as a service I can capture more of the value my software generates for my users. This would mean people in India and Ireland getting more accounting software choices.

I've been living abroad in a dozen different countries for years, and I use credit card for most daily transactions, since I'm not charged a fee, and the exchange rates are competitive.

When it comes to cash, I just pay the $5 ATM fee. When I visit an ATM, I pull out at least a few hundred dollars in cash, leave the majority at home, and carry what I need.

Groceries are by credit card, rent is online, so my only cash expenses are street food, going out to pubs, and other minor things. Therefore, let's say I take out a few hundred dollars a month. That's a $5 fee per month, or $60 per year. In my opinion, that's incredibly cheap, and I get the freedom to use any ATM for my cash withdrawals on my travels.

I don't get your point. If you post online do you really expect much privacy? Make your profile private and then the software won't be able to guess your gender. I tried three accounts, one was of a famous female model and apparently she's 0.516 probably male and 0.006 female, so I wouldn't be too worried just yet. Just don't post online if you want privacy, otherwise, learn from this.
