That makes sense, but were you already aware of the "DMT elf" mythology before taking the drug? If so, that could've influenced a lot of your experience. Otherwise, I think that could be a plausible explanation. Though I&#x27

I'm sure that contributes to a lot of it, as well as experiences others have with harder drugs. But from my research, many people reported this experience without ever being aware that others have experienced it. I think there must be

Perhaps. But no-knock search warrants are also legal. The police can break into your house and put cameras or microphones in it with a warrant. Even though the process of breaking-in does affect the evidence a little, or even opens the poss

This is good, but I wish Google offered the same policy for most of their other general cloud services.

Am I the only one who has no issue with these kinds of things? As long as they're treated like a regular wiretap, and only used on a crime suspect with a lawful warrant, what's the actual problem with this?

This can also be caused by (minor) eye issues. I had that effect for a while after PRK surgery.

It's so odd how there's a near-universal reporting of small elf- or dwarf-like creatures from that drug. Is there any proposed mechanism of action for how it works?

Kind of like toggling "motion blur" on and off in a first-person shooter, I suppose? Or maybe more accurately "motion of other 3D objects" blur.

It's a sub-category of "Silicon Valley programmer/entrepreneur/founder". Awkward geek is one sub-category, "brogrammer" or "tech bro" is another sub-category. They're separate stereotypes fo

It's both. Many likely have some pre-existing mental condition, maybe completely latent or or maybe just early in onset. Awful life conditions combined with substance abuse then lead to a feedback loop exacerbating the mental illness,

Better than what Shark Tank asks for, at least. :)

Or how about reasons why not to apply, if there are any? I imagine it's stressful and time-consuming for many people, for example. (Though of course that comes with starting any company.)

You would expect the higher level officers and directors to be in plain clothes, normally.

Yeah, I would expect only FBI to be involved with this. Especially when meeting in-person.

Nothing. Bringing a bunch of special agents along with you to a meeting is intimidating, though. I suppose in their defense, they may be the particular agents working on the San Bernadino case, who arrived to explain exactly why they need t

No, not necessarily, but in many cases it has a significant genetic factor. Sometimes that genetic factor doesn't result in truly sociopathic behavior (perhaps just courageousness or diminished emotionality and affect) until it's

Maybe. Considering the rest of his family sounds somewhat normal, it's possible a big reason for his behavior is a result of environmental rather than genetic causes. Perhaps with a different upbringing, he would have a different perso

Pretty interesting article. The guy's clearly quite intelligent. He could have been a successful (albeit likely sociopathic) entrepreneur or scientist if his life circumstances were a little different.

I agree with you. There needs to be something like insulin autoinjector pens, but for ketamine. This increases the chances of abuse, but ensuring a prescription only lasts 6 doses or whatever would reduce that. Hopefully once drug laws beco

I completely agree with you. I feel like Snowden should have held back more documents, or instructed reporters to hold back documents that didn't concern mass/public surveillance. Some secrets aren't always bad. I respect and

As others say, there's no use for this. It would be really cool to have some kind of a bidirectional WYSIWYG for web design. Edit a text field in a Chromium window managed by Atom, and it makes the same change in your template file (or

It seems pretty clear it's the NTP servers themselves. All the servers are in the same small subnet, and 2 of them even have rDNS hostnames indicating they're owned by shodan.io.

Unfortunately, tianeptine is not quite the wonder drug people hoped it would be. It does increase serotonin reuptake (thus resulting in lower serotonin concentrations), but this is believed to be unrelated to its anti-depressant and relaxan

5-HTP and omega 3 fatty acids (fish oil pills) are not "alternative medicine" supplements. They're regular medicine supplements. It's believed most people are probably deficient in omega 3, unless they eat a lot of fish.

It may not be a drug with risk of addiction, but MDMA is absolutely neurotoxic, even from a single dose. The neurotoxicity from a single standard dose is pretty negligible, and can be remediated with supplements, but frequent use (like once

Also keep in mind that depression isn't always caused by serotonin issues or remediated by increasing serotonin (which is somewhat redundant with this article, though I think the article paints serotonin too negatively). For example, i

I agree; this article is a little misleading. Any substance that rapidly releases serotonin will definitely make you feel happy, if you're not already tolerant. It's obviously more complex than just being "the happy neurotran
