The Wikipedia article has a tonne of links to studies that link amphetamines to addiction, which is also a primary trait of opiates. Opiates also have negative side-effects with abuse, just like amphetamines. They have many similarities. &g

I see quite a number of comments making some very wildly inaccurate statements about the pharmacological safety of MDMA. There have been a number of studies conducted about the health impact of MDMA. In monkeys, it has been shown to leave b

Looks interesting. Coincidentally, I've just completed the bulk of work on a distributed Websocket network system to synchronize certain bits of state between multiple clients for my own kind of Storybook tool [0]. How interesting! T

I'm a bit confused about your last point. Could you elaborate? Telcos are (in theory, at least) private utility companies, so why does it make sense for them to create the application/use case? Do you mean that Telcos like Verizon

Some of my two cents: * I don't really see the value-add of a curated list of what is already a curated list. Down the rabbit hole... * The site's definition of what is included and what is excluded is extremely vague. "gen

There is a rather toxic political tone running through the article which really puts me off. Just one of the examples is they refer to Elon Musk as wanting to populate Mars with "subsistence farming incels", which is just a down-r

The number of comments in this thread that so casually defend what I think is honestly somewhat comparable to an Edward Snowden-level infringement on freedom is honestly depressing. It deeply confuses me how some people, some who are obviou
