> I think if you're asking a question like "do you like it", you're not yet in that state. Haha very true. Most meditates are trying to achieve a particular state, not happy with the state they are currently in

Thank you.

> One can definitely describe a rainbow to a blind person. Your explanation is perfectly valid. My explanation is just an approximation though isn't it? It doesn't help the blind person to actually see the rainbow, just to get

I don't think Eckhart Tolle is mentally ill at all. There's nothing wrong with being like Echkart. But I just admitted to taking psychedelics, so maybe people think I'm mentally ill now :-) To clarify, I'm not much like

> three thousand times the human recreational dose Dang. Perhaps it is possible to die from an overdose of psychedelics, I stand corrected. However, it seems like you can technically overdose from anything after a certain amount. You ca

Do you like being in that state?

It was enlightening, but what I mean is that I simply lack the language skills to adaquately describe it. Can you describe a rainbow to a blind person? Sort of: you might try to explain it in terms of sounds being next to each other, but we

> I'm a little skeptical of the claim that you can't overdose on them (overdose in the sense of using them too much, not lethal overdose I meant lethal overdose, like heroin. I certainly I know some people who take too many dru

I’ve taken psychedelics a few times. Sometimes, it’s just been mild and giggling at colors and nature. Pleasant, but just kind of a fun drug. Sometimes it’s been just extremely confusing and not at all fun, to the extent that I’d forget my

Well no, they’d have to publish all reports which most companies don’t like doing because it makes them look very bad.

It should also be a thing that actually exists and makes sense first.

And how, exactly does a blockchain help with voting? Be specific: what is being hashed, what signatures, where? What kind of cryptography and exactly how is it used? It’s so frustrating when these MBA types just wave their hands and say “

The really baffling thing is how this made it to the front page of HN.

This reminds me of a previous job. The management—none of which were technical people—just loved the idea of investigating “the blockchain” and “IoT” and “machine learning” and “AI”, but had no clue what it meant. I left after a couple of m

How would that work? Surely the company could make a fake duplicate and show it to you in a Merkle tree as "proof"? They literally make up every node in the Merkle tree after all.

Hopefully, probably sarcastic, but just in case you're not: who puts the data on the blockchain?

Correct. You're right, the article is mistaken.

I'm going by studies such as these: https://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/ComputingNow/pdfs/... I suppose it depends on how we measure effectiveness. What was the false positive rate you observe

by Moodles 8y ago
I'm not sure there's much evidence that it works though. Probably more effective is having employees use yubikeys or something.

by Moodles 8y ago
I agree absolutely. It's similar to previous companies I've worked at that do phishing test emails for all their employees (usually at 9am on a Monday). There's little evidence it works, it is security theater and generally h

Explain to me why you need a blockchain for anything to do with weed (and not bananas)?
