People automatically fear things that in some way may exceed some of their own limitations, in however minor way. A defense mechanism of our cavemen brains.

I thought that on all Underground lines the driver has to operate a deadmans switch at all times - if released the train stops. Is that not true?

Yeah I agree with what you're saying, and I never meant that what you say in altered state is stripped of meaning completely, just that the further you go and the more barriers you loose the more meaning is lost, because you are being

I'm sorry to hear that, as someone who has had a very close family member succumb and pass away due to alcoholism, the worst feeling for me was that there is nothing you can do unless the person wants to change. However, all substances

Right, maybe I worded that too strongly, it doesn't make the experience useless. I wanted to emphasise that even if you experience something that feels profound in an altered state, you should still reflect on it and examine it when so

Dont equate reason with capitalism, thats just silly. MDMA may cause you to experience a something and it might feel profound, but only through sober reflection on that experience are you able to learn anything. Don't get me wrong, I t

It's true that drugs like MDMA or Mephedrone can cause an outpuring of feelings very much similar to what you feel when really loving someone (in my time in university, Mephedrone used to be called "The Big Love" by partaking

At a certain threshold yes I would, if it served millions of people. A small ISP can get away with terrible security but once they start having millions of customers someone is going to sound an alarm. A forum, written in any language, shou

I remember during my time with a large mobile carrier in UK I was told of a person in the company who could in theory read any SMS on the network. Mind you this was literally one person for over 30 million customers. He had a high security

I think you're missing the point. That game doesn't teach you anything about survival nor does it aim to, I think. It's more like a book about the people who go through some hardship, you read about how they cope and maybe le

There could be a bunch of airliners for sale due to coronavirus. I suspect the ongoing costs could maybe be similar to renting a large expensive apartment in a centre of a popular US city? Would be super interesting to see someone calculate

Well there is no silver bullet right, and there are many factors in a situation like yours. Lets say you're hiring for a Java position to make web apps. Is a better candidate someone with lots of desktop Java experience, or someone wit

Isn't the whole X years of experience with kind of silly anyways? You grow as a programmer by exposing yourself to new ideas and ways of doing things, but this pretty much gives you a low number of years in a bunch of stuff, not impres

I work for a large media comp and this is exactly the reason we don't give editors access to GTM (or even all developers), nor do we allow tools such as Optimizely intended for A/B testing, and we went away from letting them paste

They are absolutely aggressors, and the defensive posturing is something they (Russian leaders) have used for centuries to excuse aggression. Their armies never conquer, they "liberate". This is not a tactic unique to them, but on

Those lakes seem to have no flow of water in or out, so I guess they just rely on groundwater flow to refill it, but how come it didnt overgrow and fill up with mud centuries ago?
