Hm? In Lisp or Python, you don't have overflow issues because ints can't overflow. It's only a problem at the assembly/low level.

EDIT: The point of the parent comment is that integer overflow "isn't a problem at the assembly level, only in high level languages." But high level languages actually prevent the problem. You don't even have to worry about ints overflowing when you use Python or Lisp. You do have to worry if you're assembly or are using a lower level language like C. So the situation is actually opposite from what the parent comment describes.
> Regressing to lossy media in order to extort (as opposed to solicit) money from fans seems regressive to me.

Small record labels in Zimbabwe are not extorting anything from their fans. This is a preposterous statement.

I've known literally thousands of musicians and labels and none of them have ever done DRM on any medium whatsoever. I'm not even sure why you are bringing up DRM. It is completely irrelevant to the discussion.
I’m really impressed by the Dell UP2414Q. I’d highly recommend it over just about any other external monitor. Color is consistent across the front, and quite accurate. It’s pretty bright with good contrast. And the high resolution is just stunning.

The only computer display I’m more impressed with at the moment is the 5k “retina” iMac display.
That's not how H-1B works in practice. You find a candidate, make a fake job offering that matches only that candidate, wait for that to go unfilled for a certain period of time (oh noes!!), and then proceed.

That said, parent poster is plenty sketchy :)
The Windows version of ATI's Catalyst driver has an option that permits you to use the GPU to scale less-than-native-resolution output to an attached LCD's native resolution. It makes video games a little bit fuzzy, but works better than the built-in LCD rescalers that I've seen.
While I do agree with you that there are differences unique to psychedelic experiences versions "real" experiences, your enumeration isn't quite accurate - Most psychedelics last 1-12 hours, intensity is almost entirely dependent on dosage, and most meditation exercises are also about ego loss. And that's before you get into things like sensory deprivation or binaural beats, although for this discussion I'd put them on the psychedelic side of the line because they do similar things in the brain.

It's actually a pretty common comment from experienced "psychonauts": that you can have the same experience without the substances, it just takes years or decades of training and quite a bit of per-experience preparation. This is also because, on a chemical level, a number of psychedelics actually just get your brain to do something it'll normally (but rarely) do - the substance you take doesn't actually create the experience, the substance your brain releases/creates/doesn't absorb due to what you've taken does the work.

That all said? In a normal life, by a normal person? Yeah, those three you mention are what I'd expect to seriously differentiate the psychedelic and non-psychedelic experiences.
My more important point is that you don't need to do anything right now. Just do some stuff that you find fun.

They are still pretty disappointed with my current job, but I'm doing very well and they're happy that I'm successful, even if they don't understand how or why. I left college to work, so there's always that spiel of "You really should quit your job and go back to college" at family gatherings. But recently they've been saying that less and less.
At my previous job we had Turkey Vultures that sat on the ledge outside our office, usually 100 or so. They were pretty interesting to watch. Sometimes they watched us work, no doubt wondering if we would make a tasty meal some day.

Racism may be an outdated 'idea', but in practice and many people's daily lives, it is reality. The American society is built on systemized racism (colonialism and slavery), and the existence and lack thereof of privilege within different groups of people is a direct result of this, and it needs to be changed, because the playing field is not level.

> They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.

In mathematical modeling, they say that every model is wrong, but some are useful.

Insofar as psychedelics are dissociatives, they can cause harm by convincing us to discard our wrong but useful models of the world. And I have experienced that when no associations seem significant, all associations gain significance, independent of usefulness.

Our brain works pretty well with our incomplete-but-useful heuristics, and the ability to discover these heuristics and transmit them culturally is one of our central powers as a species. I don't have the perspective of a state to say why exactly they have been banned, and I don't have the perspective of a god to say whether the lubrication of psychedelics might slip us into a greater local optimum. But I do have enough personal experience to say that bad things can happen to an unmoored mind.
I think a pretty good anecdotal data point relating "issues due to alcohol" to "issues due to drugs" is the relative lack of injuries and crimes at Burning Man versus, say, Mardi Gras, Coachella, etc. It'll have to stay anecdotal due to such things as self-selection, local support networks, and the environmental hazards in the different situations, but BM still has way less per capita than any similar-or-larger sized festival.

Is it possible to buy a tablet display without the actual tablet computer? I want something inexpensive and lightweight and efficient to pair with this for display and a regular lcd monitor isn't that.
In the article, and many of the comments here, the thrust is that illegality is primarily a political matter. I certainly can't argue that isn't a factor, but I can say it's not the only salient issue.

All drugs have multiple effects, most of which receive little or no study. Particular effects may be useful, and the others we call "side-effects". The problem with drugs is determining these characteristics, a notably difficult task since individual responses vary widely. BTW, the US FDA considers AE occurrence of >=1% to be "frequent", that is, a major/signficant side-effect of the drug.

Systematic study is extremely laborious. That's the reason therapeutic drugs require such expensive and time-consuming development. Potential severe but rare effects may not come to the fore until millions of people are exposed to the drug. If it comes to light that >=1/10^6 recipients have a fatal response, that may represent too big a risk to leave the drug on the market.

Hallucinogenic drugs are not risk free. Spend a few days in the ED where such drugs are being widely used and there will be multiple instances of panic, dissociative responses and psychosis. This is something I've personally observed. Yes, it's anecdotal, but large, well-structured, placebo-controlled trials have not yet been done.

In the absence of such studies, is it ethical to assert the use of any drug is "safe"? Even if serious adverse effects are "infrequent" (<1%), encouraging people to use a drug (particularly for non-essential purposes) could conceivably result in thousands of people trying it, and consequently a substantial number suffering harm. Such advocacy would almost certainly not meet standards of responsible behavior.
Yes, that's the difference with rp-pppoe.so (using kernel module to handle encapsulation, userspace code only sets up the sockets) and pppd's pty option (got it a bit wrong in my other comment in this thread, believed it's a pipe, thanks for correcting) with separate process to do so. It doesn't really matter.

More than this, Linux kernel has kernel-mode PPP. But still a few parts of PPP, and all accompanying control protocols (especially authentication-related ones like EAP - you don't want that beast in the kernel!) are done in userspace.
Relax - no need to be rediculous or a pendant. It's obvious what is meant by "legos," particularly in context.

$666,000 is far too low. If the members of Skinny Puppy knew how Government defence contracting works, they would realise that this kind of value is a write-off, go for $666,000,000 - now that is more of a defence figure.

In all seriousness though, this shows extreme irony. The Government is content with passing draconian bills penalising users for downloading Game of Thrones and cutting off their Internet connections, sending Swat teams to their homes and allowing corporations to financially haemorrhage them in the "court of law". Yet, when the Government wants to use someone else's music without paying for a licence, they think they are above the law they want to so desperately put in place?

They definitely have a case. Copyright law forbids audio and video being broadcasted to many persons without a licence in a public place (with exception of your family and a few other exceptions). This isn't music being played in a family home, it is music being broadcasted in a US owned detention camp prison.

If I were in a band and found out my music was being used to torture people, I would be pretty pissed about it too. I couldn't imagine how that would make you feel knowing something you created is being used to interrogate and break a potentially innocent person locked up inhumanely.

I am going to be keeping an eye on this case. If the US fails to pay up, it could set a precedent for future court cases brought against small businesses and individuals being fined for playing music. And yes, there have been cases of small businesses, restaurants, cafes, etc being bullied by ASCAP into paying for licences to have play CD's or even in some cases, have a radio playing.
It isn't better, it isn't cheaper (once subsidies expire), and it doesn't have the diversity of dozens of different SoCs to choose from.

Are you actually basing this assessment on actual facts? Further, as to diversity, Qualcomm 80x absolutely dominates the Android sphere. Vendors aren't making designs with some abstract SoC that they plug in on delivery day -- they are specifically designing devices around a given SoC. Meaning they choose a 805, or K1, or Atom Z3560, and design the product and release it.
Qualcomm has seen exploding revenues, now pushing $30 billion per annum and great profit margins. It is anything but a "commodity" market, and a few makers are making gangbusters.

That is almost entirely from sales for Android smartphones. Qualcomm's leading-edge baseband tech (and monopoly on 3GPP2/EvDO networks) has made them the clear market leader for phones. This is why both Intel and NVIDIA purchased cellular baseband technology (Infineon/Icera), tried to compete in phones for a year, and then pulled back to focus on tablets while they continue to develop basebands.

Without a requirement for cellular, the tablet market is wide open. Like you said, these chips all run the exact same software and users can't tell the difference. It's a commodity market, and is Intel going to compete on price with NVIDIA, Samsung, Qualcomm, Marvell, MediaTek, Allwinner, etc? Not while making 65% gross margins.
I agree with your first two paragraphs. But, be careful about the last. The pilot wave in Bohmian mechanics is not a wave in space time, but rather a separate physical entity. Basically the dynamics of both the particle and its pilot wave are described by different portions of the wavefunction. (The wavefunction is complex, and so has enough variables to describe two physical quantities).
Checks and balances. Wyoming has 1 representative in the house, California has 53. When you combine the house and the senate, it should (in theory) be much harder for a bill to pass without approval of both the majority of the states and the majority of the population.
I've never found any interest in taking anything stronger than an occasional beer but as a former chemist I find the research into these types of drugs fascinating. We really do need to look into areas that might be highly illegal if for no reason other than to learn how the brain works.
And to extend that remark with fiatmoney's comment, it may turn out that selling one proc to a cloud provider at $1000 and 65% margin is somewhat more profitable OVERALL than selling a hundred $5 procs to a tablet mfgr at a -1000% margin due to their famous subsidy, or maybe just zilch margin due to competitiveness.

Also its not merely a matter of marketing focus. Imagine the next iphone, now with intel processor, having a Pentium 4 sized heatsink and fan hanging off the back. Extreme low power is a checkbox in hardware, much like security is merely a checkbox in software.

Its a crisis that Ford isn't expanding into the wheelbarrow market, etc.
The lack of inherent existence of the cloud seems to be the most logical solution to this problem. Although the cloud has no inherent existence, if we look at the same spot in the sky, I have a perception of a cloud, and you have a perception of a cloud. Our perceptions are not the same, and when we get to the edges of the cloud the boundaries we perceive are highly likely to differ. Nevertheless, because our perceptions have so much in common, I can say "that cloud" to you will know what I am talking about. Your perception will still differ from mine, especially along the borders of the cloud, but the differences in perception are not likely to be important for the sake of our discussion. The author's rebuttal in paragraph 3 of the Nihilism section looks weak to me.

Why not just spawn pppd from networkd?

They can write a full-fledged pppd replacement, but can't just have pppd as a child process and happily control it? (May possibly need a tiny patch or two, but that's barely an issue)

I'd get it if one needs some very tight integration, but pppd is self-sufficient, fairly controllable and well-tested.

Looks like NIH syndrome to me. But maybe I'm missing something from the picture and pppd isn't a good fit. Then, okay.

The moment I use more than 1 screen, I find alt-tab to be cumbersome. I find that in a GUI environment, having your mouse autofocus on the window it's hovering over is far easier than using alt-tab. Especially when you have multiple windows open, cylcing to the correct window using alt-tab is usually slower than moving the mouse over the window.
I tend to look at drug prohibitions by governments as akin to kosher restrictions. I once heard a rabbi explain why kosher exists. (These are his words, recalled from my memory so certainly not exactly correct.) There is no inherent meaning to the prohibition. Not eating pork doesn't make you a better person, nor does eating it make you a bad person. But by not eating pork you are demonstrating your obedience to God. The law says "do not kill" and for most men it is easy to obey that law. If that was all one needed to do to be a servant of God there would be little point to religion. Your personal faith would rarely be tested. So God tests us in a small way, with kosher laws. These are easy to obey, but also more difficult because the temptation is more common. When you abstain from eating pork you are strengthening your faith and preparing for when you may be faced with a more serious temptation. It is a daily affirmation of your obedience to God.
(end quotation)

So I also think that government prohibitions exist largely to allow governments to assert their authority. If you can't be trusted to follow a simple law like "don't use this recreational drug" then you can't be trusted to follow more serious laws like "don't stab someone in the face".

(Not saying I agree with it. I'm just making an observation.)

Of course, if the hypothesis is correct, you are painting a bit of a false dichotomy. That is, if these diets are causing issues, you are paying those in longer term rising costs and loss of productivity anyway. Moving it to a monetary tax now could be far cheaper.
You're being downvoted, but it is true that drugs have been and are used to control populations, whether through prohibition or supply. There are strong links between the intelligence community and the drug "counterculture", including evidence that the government has actively promoted psychedelic drugs as a means of controlling the population. This should raise concerns. Some salient points:

The CIA was testing LSD as a mind control drug under the MKULTRA program in the sixties and seventies. [1]

Gordon Wasson, who was VP of Public Relations at JP Morgan and had close ties to Allen Dulles (head of CIA), introduced Americans to magic mushrooms in 1957 on the cover of Life magazine, a JP Morgan company. This effectively kicked off the psychedelic movement in the US. [2]

Terrance McKenna, an evangelist for psychedelics and the "archaic revival", admitted to being a "bard" and working for the FBI as a background agent. [3]

These points barely scratch the surface, but there does appear to be a concerted effort to promote psychedelics as a spiritual rite of passage or initiation, into a New Age religion of sorts. Similar to how the Eleusinian Mysteries in Greece ushered in the Greek Dark Age, it is likely that the Psychedelic Revolution will be used to usher in another dark age, as a way to get people to accept a new form of feudalism and totalitarian state control.

Just something to think about the next time you drop some acid. Are you really having a "god manifesting" spiritual experience, or being taken on a carnival ride of socially engineered mythology?

>Recently Riane Eisler in her important revisioning of history, The Chalice and the Blade, has advanced the important notion of “partnership” models of society being in competition and oppressed by “dominator” forms of social organization. These latter are hierarchical, paternalistic, materialistic, and male dominated.

if you compare two identical women differing only in their percentage of muscle mass, yes, one is healthier than the other.

Depends what you mean by "healthy." Plenty of overweight people live long lives.

I don't think anyone would disagree that muscles are desirable and that exercise helps, or that being overweight is a bad thing. But there's quite a lot of disagreement about the severity of the problem. If you look around, there are many old and overweight people. They got to that point without having the kind of muscle mass you're talking about.

A more persuasive approach is probably to focus on the benefits, rather than the implied downside of not having "health." For example, I had no idea that exercise would have such a profound effect on my brain. My mind is sharper when I exercise compared to when I don't. At least, it was true for me. Could be placebo effect, but, then again, the placebo effect is measurable, so sometimes it helps.
