6x sounds too clickbaity.

but sure, still lets make to account by other "legal" substances (alco, tobacco, cocaine, pharmaceutics and other "lifestyle choices" infecting cardiovascular system) and way they are consumed(smoked, ingested, pure or with say tobacco)

would love see data for a group who consumes cannabis by ingestion and especially not via smoking!

also- do they differ different thc/cbd grades used (high/low thc, "medical")?

im regards "research demonstrates something does this.." for many years alcohol was considered "healthier" over non consumption, just becauses non-drinkers were together with those of abstinent ex-alcholics.. thus average score was lower than for those who drunk minimal amounts and were considered "healthier".

Only meaningful info in whole this is that it was a production of 30'000 units.

Any guesses on DEFCON's budgets "targets" and EE billed extra hours (including rates) anyone? :?

what about "self freeing" pointers?

you allocate and must / are extending its lifetime all the time or else it frees itself! very predictable behaviour of memory collection.

you get pointer and keep it allocated by "extending" its lifecycle.

trust me- there are lot of things that are barely mentioned in high school, also curriculum is not updated as often as the science uncovers something new and biology is moving forward with a break neck speed at the moment, imo.

Like, you couldn't learn about CRISPR editing before 2000.. because it was not there then. Now it's common knowledge.

Have you considered that you just became "old" or it's some other genetic predisposition you're not simply aware of?

Having that happen abruptly, imo its sign of something else.

Also, You're implying you were doing these tests through all the years.. why? No "normal" person does that, are you having other "preexisting conditions" as well?

Imo Pharmas are interested to keep it illegal as long as possible, same as alco producers. Pharmas like something they can patent and charge money for. Alco producers like to keep their "monopoly" on "recreational high", without any bad feelings that they kill their customers. Marijuana is none of that.

I strongly believe THC/CBD are more like medicine, that allows you to boost / condition your nervous system, that has been "legal" for many thousands years and now thanks to idiots in US government and theyr racist outlook we all have to suffer.

Don't believe it's for everyone, but for some of us, it works and makes us more conscious, relaxed and allows us to enjoy life more. Most of the bad effects to me are because of the "illegal" status of it, not the herb itself.

"maybe dosage matters" .... rofl... YES, IT DOES!

Same as with other medicine, alchocol including. Water can kill you too, btw.

Next time try one small puff & dont keep it in you too much and see where it takes you, if nothing for 30min, try one more.

Another thing- it might be possible you already have preconditioned yourself mentally in a way that might be hard to get outside of, that'll cause anxiety even when thinking about smoking marijuana. I'd recommend trying "medicinal" first (ie. mostly CBD (ie. 20%), THC <0.5%) and then only progress to strains with higher THC content.

Also, you probably should see therapist anyways. Having psychosis is not a good sign. Most likely you have some other issues you need to work on.

I've always wanted this for payment cards- alternate PIN number that instantly blocks cards and notifies banks security (ie. in case when someone extorts your PIN or wants you to use ATM forcibly) and returns something like "Not enough funds" or similar.

amazing / sad / deeply touching story. Thanks to author for sharing!

maybe, unrelated, but I have this burning question- what was the reason for Kadin's (untimely) death and how that happened?

yes and no.

yes, authority is usually with CFO or line managers, how/when and for how much things are APPROVED depending on the company and its policies and NO as it's developers that come and (authoritatively) say "We need you purchase this and that, because ..." and are the ones that evaluate tools and make such requests. Also there's big difference whether we're talking some sw for $100 one time payment or SaaS service for 100K/month, imo.

And then there's of course freelancers and well-off devs that buy things for themselves that make their decisions on their own.

tl;dr; if you think that devs dont have authority, maybe its you or your sales skills/strategy/methods that fail you more? ;)

I sync my photos from iphone using dropbox. very simple and effective, no neeed for icloud / iphotos.

I'm not sure you get the reference here.. it's not about what you want or not, but how US government feels about certain (chinese) company.

imo only way forward (in broad terms) is taking ones cells, fixing dna/genes, growing cells as neccesary and transplanting them back and having valid cells of your own making.

everything else is just suffering and living with "incompatible" parts.

I'm sure (99.9%) its patented, so you can find and read those patents. i expect there should also be a list of publications in it what it was based on. its probably heavy biology / chemistry though (i know, as I've been researching other gene modification patent stuff before)

so.. based of these claims by US government, would it be good and required for Apple to give full access to users data, financials, health and everything-else-data to say Huaweii smartwatch?

Whats interesting that most of iphone users i know (eastern europe), doesnt use iMessage at all or only for sms type of messaging only and for rich messaging we use whatsapp, messenger, telegram, signal, slack, discord, viber (?) and my almost first / only question question over sms (imessage) always is- do you have whatsapp?

apparently its different in states.

apple should simply allow to replace ios with Android or Linux on iphone (without any support obviously) for those who "feel restricted" and let them have it.. for all the remaining let us keep using Apples walled garden on apples terms (i like having good night sleep knowing that my family members wont fck up their phones, get hacked or their data be used for profit by google, fb and any other "competitor").

I'm 1000% sure, in 20, 50, 100, 500 years humans will look back on "science of 20/21th century" as we look now on say 16/17th century- there were some things that were "mostly" right, but most of it was incorrect / inprecise / incomplete and was a fantasy of earlier thought up models.

It's been like that always. Don't think it'll be different this time. Though people of every time thought they had (almost) complete understanding of the universe. I remember reading that at the beginning of 20th century science was largerly considered complete... we know how it turned out! (think relativity, quantum physics, etc.)

Think about that!

(ps. me personally I just cannot stomach that universe is only <15B "years" old. Not saying there was no BANG! (ie. large cosmic event) back then and we're products of it :), but don't think it was "the beginning of everything". Seems very much like "god created universe!" type of thinking)

does this mean I'll be able to create my own App Store app as I like it or there will be 5000 pages agreement how to do this "properly" and such apps simply will not be allowed on Apple store for "not compliance" or it'll be "open season" for all now?

Knowing Apple there might be former, not the latter... until 3 years later there will be another verdict.. :D

if thats all he tried, i'm not surprised. never had anyone say "meh" after 3D xxx content! (pornhub has vr category too! :D )

minecraft or roblox for 3d. Maybe gamemaker or smth similar for 2D.

Anything else & you'll fail, because you're only one on the "team" understanding how things work! :D (not that it's generally a bad thing to fail.. there's always takeaway from that as well)

You can then build a minecraft plugin for some gameplay specifics.

everyhing else (unity, unreal, coding from scratch) will fail you way sooner than you think. imo.

nope, chemistry/physics involved & dna processint doesn't work that way. (Msc Comp.sci&Bioinformatics / sw engineer here)

it's very much about physical environment and chemical reactions happening (all in parallel) and molecules with different sizes/shapes interacting in specific conditions not instructions for specific computer architecture being executed.

ps. i'm not saying its not possible, it's that it doesnt happen that way in living cells.

if you're in trouble already, no book will help you... :D

wireshark, ifconfig, route, ping, netstat, etc are your REAL friends on Linux! :)

If there's one thing we should be afraid of, is us, ourselfs & our limitless stupidity, not imaginary / non-existent algorithms, software, computers, viruses, whatever else no matter the name we use for it.

There's questions that begs to be asked- if we don't trust such "ai" (ie. software), why give it such level of control at all? (like ability to shoot nukes without human intervention?)

also... naming every little ML algorithm as AI highly degrades the word. Might as well be saying "computer software" what it actually still is.. though no one screams "computer software will bring us all down!!!".. probably because that would sound stupid as we have gotten used to it already. =:O

is this the reason plants are mostly green? :?

sure... and what about time spent debugging yet another unallocated/untimely freed/off by 1 pointer mistake?

ps. you know you can write C++ code that is functional and use free functions primarily instead of putting everything in classes?

sure... "AI's are hallucinating!"

Maybe stop calling probalistic text generators "intelligence" and then you wont see "hallucinations", but simply "garbage" output?

.. and faster customer processing too!

as someone who owns se 2020- 13 mini was my next planned upgrade (because of camera & like the colors).. when my current se dies or at least battery life decreases substantially that is.. which it doesn't! :D

I'm 99% sure, the author has never done any completed / published non trivial game...

.. because doing lock-free programming is least of problems when creating games.
