What’s the whispered about baggage? The CIA connections?


Carlos Slim is the reason the NYT made it through the media’s trough of sorrow when they went from trying to be a somewhat objective paper of record to being all partisan all the time. He’s a Mexican billionaire who made his money off of having the political connections to get the mobile phone monopoly. There’s shag all negative coverage of one of the world’s richest men whose wealth was based on clientilism.


Yes, please expand here, I didn't even know about the aforementioned CIA connections


I feel like “will” in that statement should be “has”


Wow, can you elaborate?


Not much to tell, my partner took esketamine for a few months for treatment-resistant depression. I woke up one day to someone holding a knife and sobbing uncontrollably, calmed them down and took the knife away.

The treatment stopped after that, of course, and sharp things got put away quickly. Thankfully there are no guns in the house. There may have been latent psychosis prior.


Cannabis seeds and hemp seeds don’t contain thc


It was most likely the flowers of a female plant (that contain the seed) that were thrown on the rocks.

Also, hemp == cannabis.


> Also, hemp == cannabis.

Sure, but plants grown primarily for it's fibers wouldn't have anyting near the THC levels of the skunk mutants grown for narcotic use today


I know people in the industry, and hemp with significant amounts of THC commonly occurs. Unless people in the past were selecting for low THC on purpose, it's likely that THC content in hemp fluctuated and was significant enough to smoke.

I've also purchased hemp for the purposes of consuming CBD, and it got me high.


Cannabis extracts like charas - hash that is made from the resin have been around for thousands of years, and are way more potent than "narcotic skunk mutants".


Herodotus wasn't known for his slavish accuracy, if you know what I mean.


Well, this is at least pretty clear evidence that he didn't inhale.

And besides, it also suggests why any interested readers in the past 2400 years would have been disappointed by the technique and not passed on the know how.


How reliable do you think a translation from over 2 millennia ago is?


So? Clearly they venerated the plant no matter what.


So basically Dapper TS? I’m very interested!


Apple has 10% of the market, depending on where you look. The high penetration in NYC and SF is an aberration.


They have 45% in the US. The fact that only approved apps can be installed should be taken to court.


Why? It’s not in the spec, how am I, the developer, supposed to know that the browser is being non-compliant?


It's in the spec that the browser is allowed to pick a duration if you don't tell it one, so you know that you don't know how long it is cached if you do not set a header.

Both browsers are compliant. However there is generally no reason to cache a resource with content disposition so it seems sensible for Firefox to adopt this behavior.

The US is the worlds largest oil producer


Sure but that statistic is always measured as oil + natural gas + additives + other hydrocarbons. If you can find a source for crude oil extraction, not production, the US would almost certainly not be #1.


Recently the US has been far in the lead for even crude production. Here is a source where you can see the break downs by type for every country from from 1973 to 2018[1]. Data from the US Energy Information Administration. Download the .csv file for easier browsing.

The totals for just crude, not including petroleum liquids, for 2018 are:

US : 16.8 Mb/d

Saudi Arabia: 12.4 Mb/d

Russia: 11.4 Mb/d

I think you missed a decade or so of development in the US energy industry.


What's the difference between extraction and production and why does it matter here?

Are the commenters who replied wrong? If so, can you explain why?


Go always feels like an amateur language to me, I’ve given up on it. This feels right in line - similar to the hardcode GitHub magic.


I could be wrong, but I don't believe there is "hardcoded[d] GitHub magic".

IIRC I have used GitLab and Bitbucket and self-hosted Gitea instances the same exact way, and I'm fairly sure there was an hg repo in one of those. Don't recall doing anything out of the ordinary compared to how I would use a github URL.


There are a couple of hosting services hardcoded in Go. I believe it was about splitting the URL into the actual URL and the branch name.

Ouch, Go never ceases to amaze. The Bitbucket case[0] is even more crazy, calling out to the Bitbucket API to figure out which VCS to use. It has a special case for private repositories, but seems to hard-code cloning over HTTPS.

If only we had some kind of universal way to identify resources, that told you how to access it...

Thanks for the reference to prove me wrong.

Wow, that's sad. I'm glad it works seamlessly, don't get me wrong, but I was assuming I could chalk it up to defacto standards between the various vendors here.
