Even bigger, most of the buildings are highly leveraged. There literally is no incentive unless the mortgages can be restructured, as the ultimate prices will be forwarded to the renter.

Everyone’s underwater a there isn’t a good solution without massive price decrease (crash) or commercial space demand re-invigorates.

My belief is that the “trip” is us being able to observe more about our brains than we typically access. My personal experience indicates to me that the “trip” is removing filtering processes the brain uses to remove noise and irrelevant information to the task at hand. When in a “trip” then, it’s more like we are seeing what our brain sees—the things that appear auditorilly and visually are due to neural circuits overfitting and subsequently not being able to filter the misreads and “extra data”.

I’ve always thought of it like a self-diagnostic mode/tool where we get exposed to debug data that our brain normally would filter out.

I’ve had several bad trips in my life. I think they are the most impactful and clarifying. Uncomfortable for sure. Good trips let me know I’m comfortable with myself. Bad trips usually lead to uncovering or bringing to the front things that need to be addressed in my life.

Yeah. I got lost at JS. Buffers and buffer manipulation are everything in audio processing, I don’t see anything stealing C/C++’s thunder here except Rust.

Right. More than that, you get NDAs signed before the meeting. I’ve never known this to not be standard practice. At least when the person you’re talking to doesn’t have a greater leverage in the meeting—but then you naturally restrict what you say under such a circumstance. This sounds like childish behavior on the part of Apple, but honestly when I’ve never been able to change the snooze time on the alarm app, that is what I expect. If I were CD Baby, I would have never gone back to that, as long term you’ve got greater leverage when all the competitors are getting access. In fact, I would have doubled down and paid developers to start working on iPod compatibility for the competitors.

No, not really. If your calls time out, ping the status server. Done.

It sounds more like laziness than complication to me. But that typifies Slack dev culture—“just use duct tape”

Fair enough. I made an assumption, most stuff gets funded by grants directly or indirectly.

On the paper note. Thanks for the link, couldn’t seem to find it... I was genuinely curious about how network theory changed the results, more than “made them better”

This required grant money to study? I’m not sure what the payoff is here. Or maybe it was simply that... a payoff.

If the article is going to claim that social networks have a huge influence on the mechanics of the game of naming, they should at least seek to explain how. All I got from the text was “We tried it and it just worked”.

Actually... it probably does. Look at the respective increase in NatGas consumption as California closes things down. Renewables can only do so much.

I deal with this every day. Personal fully controlled server. I don’t conduct business over this server, have only one email, a personal email, associated with it.

Having run my own email for the last two years, this is the number one problem I encounter. Somehow every official step published in terms of standards for securing email servers is not enough to appease large provider such that they’ll deliver your mail and not relegate it to spam.

Understood. I was going to delete it... then it got flagged. No excuse.

Fact checking has only become a PR management tactic that arrived in the 2000's, only as the cost of sharing your mind rapidly became zero. Before the widespread adoption of the internet, you were limited to broadcast and print. You could pay for a license from the FCC, or license a station with cable or go and print and distribute your text. Very little incentive for non-commercial work and certainly no avenue for simply anybody to say anything in a way that can spread easily.

Thanks, I guess I missed it. Too many things going on in this modern world to have a complete picture.
