Strong agree. Like you said, the parenting aspect is crucial- that’s been well established in mainstream psychology for a long time now. The opposite of insecurity is trust (either in oneself or others), and this is difficult to develop lat

Huberman skips over a LOT of info in that podcast. First off, MDMA isn’t unique, there are a lot of other empathogens. MDA, 5-MAPB, 6-APB, etc. It’s just the most studied because it’s the most popular/oldest one.

The alternative would be a burst fuel tank. I think I prefer the “dump fuel” failure mode.

Random thought: If you want code that you know can be run in 100 years, you should target WINE. This is assuming that the code you’re writing is a medium sized project- a small project would be too trivial, a large one (think MySQL or Java)

I rarely see this mentioned, but why don’t people just support laws that expire? You can’t stifle innovation in the long run if the law doesn’t exist in the long run. I’ve often espoused a law that requires USB-C to charge phones- that expi

OP might be my little brother. Years back, I destroyed him in 2048, and then he called me a virgin. Then he wrecked me at a round of chess. (I was engaged then, currently married now) Ahh, good times.

Because the 1970s had bad science that was poorly replicated, especially in psychology. Just because a theory sounds nice and seems to make sense doesn’t mean it’s scientific

Sounds like talking to a kid (or any human being, really) about a complicated math homework problem. Making a kid say their reasoning step by step would increase accuracy.

There’s massive tax fraud at the high end too, does that mean you agree we should be cruel to anyone earning over 6 digits just in case they are committing fraud?

No, it's not. The author even mentions private memes that are in-jokes. He built a service that can be used to explore memes, but people generally don't search for new memes in a search engine. They tend to use the search engine t

A kid doesn’t care about that. They just save the memes they like, including the custom ones that their friend made which doesn’t make any sense to anyone else. You don’t need a comprehensive global search engine, if you have a tool that wi

In the USA, unlimited talk/text with 2GB data is $14/month with Tello. $8/month without data. $29/month with unlimited data.

Yes, the solution is to label everything. You should label your comment as known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

I don't think you can solve this problem, without destroying the system by releasing too much data. If I find a torrent of a file, and can look up all the seeders across all torrents for this file... then so can the FBI.

Ah. That explains a lot of comments in this thread. Cosmos is used because some tables we use are larger than 64TB. It’s decently useful for large chunks of data.
