Atkins died of a head injury when he slipped on some ice, FYI

We used a real estate lawyer instead of an agent and the seller worked it out with their agent to keep the 3%. The seller's agent told us that's what ended up making our bid the most attractive.

The domains from Google Cloud Domains are also going to squarespace

Agenda uses this, and we found the hard way on mongo 4 that it can lead to mongo spinning the CPU at 100% if it gets too many at once. No idea if they've fixed it in later versions.

Indeed, if you talk with people in recovery about what they felt during their worst moments, they overwhelmingly mention shame.

Unfortunately our instincts about addiction lead us pretty far from the realities of addiction, as OP demonstrates.

Gergely reports that Cloud Domains is to be shut down as part of this: https://twitter.com/GergelyOrosz/status/1669726481130434563

I was, in 2015. And now I'm at a startup with some people I worked with there.

I've been hacking on something like that to learn Phoenix, will post it to HN when it's usable

Oregon has similar laws - all beaches are public.

That's a very good point, although we've recently discovered that narcan can help here: https://www.boulder.care/quickstart

> Buprenorphine just makes opiate dependence more manageable.

"More manageable" is a very creative way of saying less deadly, I congratulate you on your turn of phrase.

In all seriousness though, buprenorphene has a number of benefits aside from being difficult to overdose on. It lasts much longer and lacks the euphoric effects of other opioids. People on buprenorphene tend to get their life back together, and if you're truly concerned about getting someone off opioids that's a much better starting point.

The change to allow anyone to prescribe it is very recent, prior to that it was extremely limited, and most providers will still not prescribe it for a variety of reasons, ranging from not understanding it to addiction stigma to fear of the DEA.

The sad fact is that most people who would benefit from it simply do not have access to it.

On the contrary, we have medication (buprenorphene) that is remarkably effective for opioid addiction. France liberalized access to it and overdose deaths fell 80% between 1994 and 2002.

I agree on the point of not wanting to end up with a brick due to obsolete software. Note though that heat pumps typically last 10-20 years.

I didn't want to delete my Instagram account but they went ahead and algo'd it into the trash can anyway, after first making me upload a selfie with a piece of paper with a random code written on it.

Truly a bizarre experience.

After I tweeted about it I discovered there's an underground economy of people claiming to be able to restore your account.

Sceptre is a brand that makes dumb TVs.

There's a use case to replace CLUSTER, which requires downtime and needs to be rerun for new/updated data.

Sounds like there are some very nice observability features built into BEAM. I wish NodeJS had something similar!

It exists: https://flycoin.org/

Sceptre already has plenty of dumb TVs. They carry them at Walmart.

The US and many European countries are already openly supplying arms to Ukraine, so I guess it depends on your definition of interfere. If you mean attacking the Russians directly, it probably depends on how long the Ukrainians can hold out. The longer they endure the weaker Putin becomes.

Not for the mortgage itself, but real estate investors typically pay very little tax on their rental income. You can take depreciation, and deduct maintenance/repairs, property management fees, property taxes, insurance, etc. in addition to mortgage interest.

Really cool!

20 years ago my first job out of college was with a small company doing combinatorial auctions for the institutional bond market (among other industries). In the end the chicken/egg problem of having enough liquidity was too much to overcome.

At one point we pitched the NYSE on doing the opening call as a combinatorial auction but they were not interested.

We did have some success in pollution credit and trucking logistics markets though.

Of all the jobs I've had, that was easily the most fun/interesting algorithmically. I got to learn all about LP/MIP solvers, graph decomposition, distributed computation, etc.

Best of luck to you!

I used a letter by letter Markov chain for this: http://password.supply/

The output is definitely not convincing as actual words (but reasonable for somewhat more memorable passwords).

I haven't personally dealt with addiction, but I work in this space and the most effective treatment we have is Buprenorphine. Try to find a provider who will work with them and not kick them out of their program if they return to use. There are even telehealth options now, which is what my company does.

> There are people and places who specialize in these things. You find them through Google and you use them.

> Maybe a Slate Star Codex/Less Wrong reader would start diving into the efficacy rates of different treatment options and crawl through peer-review studies...

The best evidence based treatment for opioid addiction is Buprenorphine. Sadly you will not hear that from all treatment/rehab providers.

I second that book. My father in law used it to teach my wife and her sister to read, and my eldest daughter. My youngest is not yet willing to follow the lessons though. We'll try again when she's 4.

I think this may be exactly what I was hoping for :)

Nice! Hadn't heard of it, will check it out.
