I have smoked Tweed (DMT + weed) a number of times in a number of places in a number of mindsets. One of the first times I tried it we dissolved DMT in rubbing alcohol (higher percentage better) and soaked a bud in it, then let it dry and smoked it. This method works better for me because DMT burns more easily than marijuana. When I add DMT crystals to a bowl the DMT ends up burning off first, which can lead to a straight DMT experience rather than a mixture of the two.
I sat on the ever-so-comfortable couch with three of my best friends. We were hanging on to Burning Man, having just returned the day before. We were sad that it was over, but happy for each other's company, happy that on this couch we could keep the warmth alive.
We prepared a bowl and three of us smoked two or three hits each, the fourth person stayed sober and watched us melt into the couch with smiles on our faces.
The smell and taste of the smoke was non-chemical, weed with a sweetened edge. I felt the same tingling, rushing flood of warmth I have felt from smoking DMT neat. Then came the visuals, the pristine, inhuman, impossible to describe colors that make up the DMT world. However, the weed kept me grounded and in this world. I could open my eyes and still see the room, still see my friends on the couch, even though they were veiled in color and light and meaning. Knowing that I was not going to be snatched away to other worlds made the tension flow out of my body. The DMT came to visit me instead of me being kidnapped into its world. A lot easier to handle!
Tweed can still be overwhelming. There was a point (I'm afraid I don't remember exactly when) when the experience became threateningly strong and had an edge to it. At this point I grabbed the arm of our sober friend who was sitting next to me. The energy coming off of him grounded me and disappeared the menacing feeling.
I saw a giant neon spider-like being from the inside out. I was in its multi-bladdered heart, moving outwards through its body. It communed with me, and taught me to surrender. It showed me the part of my brain I needed to exercise to let the DMT come over me. I was surprised at how much control I had over the experience (unlike my one plain DMT experience, which was all about me not really knowing how to surrender, despite my experiences with other psychedelics).
I let the DMT spider 'fuck' me. It felt amazing. I was sad when it left, I did not want to come down. When we did come down, we all had forgotten that we smoked weed along with the DMT. Something in the mixture of the two made us higher by far than we would have been just smoking the weed.
The physical and emotional sensation of tweed is orgasmic for me, every time. The pleasure extends beyond the body into my soul, heart, and mind. The experience is often sexual, perhaps because in my mind surrendering and letting something enter me conjures thoughts of sex. I have described plain DMT as 'psychic or cosmic rape', and I would describe tweed as 'psychic or cosmic lovemaking'. The marijuana both gives me more control and makes me more receptive to the experience.
Tweed puts me into a phenomenal mood for about an hour afterwards, I am filled with energy and want to sing and dance. I feel as though I have made a connection with a being or energy, the DMT is alive and hanging out with it is refreshing and energizing.
The most important thing I have learned from tweed is surrender. Not just because I have no choice, but to actually dive willingly into the situation. Before tweed the act of surrendering in itself would keep me from surrendering. The concentration on surrendering myself to the experience seemed to be, in DMT's eyes, an act of holding on to something.
Though I would say that marijuana renders DMT user-friendly, I would caution people who have not smoked DMT straight against trying it with cannabis. The mixture is different every time, and it is possibly to accidently have a pure DMT trip, which, if you are purposefully mixing marijuana in to avoid, can be a little surprising.

But isn’t it still waaay better than the USD in many ways?
So are cowry shells, but I don't see folks clamoring about them
meatspoon20-Jul-19 01:40 PM
Well, the main problem with the USD is that it is printed limitlessly.
Btc is limited. So it is waaay better in that regard
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴20-Jul-19 01:41 PM
the main problem with the USD is that it is printed limitlessly.
True, but when you compare that to the buy value of BTC rising and falling on the whims of s shitting s, it's kind of a semi-moot point(edited)
meatspoon20-Jul-19 01:42 PM
Emmanuel, you are saying you anticipate miners forking btc and raising the supply?

Think about how well your public sector company would do if you told people that you couldn't reproduce something that you did 70 years ago "because we no longer have the technology to do it"
so, you see, the problem is not unlimitted creation/burning of currency, but who creates and burns that currency
yes, that
The USD holds exactly as much value as the Fed determines it "should"
meatspoon20-Jul-19 01:50 PM
right, and the FED continues, year after year, to determine it should hold less. that is the only direction fiat currencies go in the long run
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴20-Jul-19 01:50 PM

and now we're back to the beginning of the fact that reality doesn't change how people perceive the "need" for BTC to be "king"
reality now doesn't change their minds, what makes you think that would?
meatspoon20-Jul-19 01:55 PM
when people criticize what BTC miiiight become, they are sort of ignoring that right now, in this moment, it is superior to USD in many ways

top 10 wallets of komodo own 51% of all coins currently
designer20-Jul-19 02:03 PM
the lack of market atmosphere despite the fact that bitcoin prices currently remain above $10,000 is a great performance on a price basis, shows how many people had a high proportion of alts. this is because the winter is still in full swing for some, depending on the alts ratio.
but like when, certain alts will be pump again and will earn a lot of money. because of its short history, crypto has few cycles to refer to the past and now faces a number of big issues, the assurance of what it was like last time, especially with regard to alt, can be dangerous this time.
I think most of the alts are going to be ruined in this cycle.
meatspoon20-Jul-19 02:03 PM
thanks for the pro-tip, genie.
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴20-Jul-19 02:04 PM
it's not "subjective", it's an objective fact that economics is what killed any chance of Core not equaling "Bitcoin" forever

time and opportunity are not many. now, in order to survive, the ideology of decentralization must be abandoned. we have to face reality.
If someone starts to preempt the blockchain, the game will be over soon. opportunities won't come back.
humanity has no case of decentralization.
the history of mankind is monopolized and concentrated in one place.

decentralization can be realized without calling for decentralization. we should be a little more strategic. just like Satoshi Nakamoto used drug dealers and arms dealers in the early days of Bitcoin.
the moment Bitcoin exceeded $1, Satoshi Nakamoto's mission was over. and vanished without a word.
actually, bitcoin had a hard time getting over 1 dollar.
$100. $1,000 $10000 was not difficult.
by the time bitcoin exceeded $1, Bitcoin had already succeeded.(edited)

yes

decentralization can be realized without calling for decentralization.
Utopia can be realized without calling for peace and civility among all peoples.

The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see.

And then, one day, I got in.
I'm looking to get more into a Development role. For some years I've worked around the fringes, doing various data and support roles and even some minor programming (mostly in VBA and SQL/SSRS). I continue looking into pursuing personal and side projects to progress my programming skills, but it would be ideal to find a position where I could also learn from experienced Developers while doing so. Over the years I've gained general knowledge on many languages, BASIC, bash, C/C++, C#, Java, ASM, COBOL, SQL, Python, VBA, HTML/CSS and now venturing into more Javascript and PHP and dabbling with Docker and MongoDB. I don't claim to a master of any of them, but we learn by doing, and my goal is to keep doing.
As an artist, you can look forward to agonizing frustration. But you can also look forward to moments of sheer delight. And that is what it’s all about. Creative work is the most frustrating of all human vocations, and it is the only one.

Although I'm not necessarily looking for a graphics position per se, such skills can be handy when you least expect it. Odds and ends of work I've done can be found at my DeviantArt page and my old Flash portfolio site that I'm unable to maintain or update as there are no open-source tools available to edit Flash. But the site remains a mildly intriguing relic of times gone by. It should go without saying that a Flash-enabled browser is required for viewing.

Rumor Nethack
This is the part where I'm supposed to say something about myself and my interests and such, whilst simultaneously keeping it brief to accomodate the modern-day short attention span. But that's alright because I like the simple things in life. In fact, let's see if I can collate a short list of things I like and/or that amuse me.
Nethack,
Comics,
Firefly,
Doctor Who,
Linux and
Ubuntu,
The Internet Oracle,
The Thunderbolts Project and various
Nerdist things. Thinking of The Internet Oracle, I have been "digested" many times, but in a coding vein, this oracularity was fun. The Oracle can answer your questions also, for a price.
I will have to work more on this section, but for now, well, I recommend you go play some Nethack or have a chat with the Oracle.
If you would like to offer me praise or employment, or if you would like to throw rotting vegetables at me but are too far away and your vegetables won't last long enough to throw... use the latest high-tech tools of the digital age to reach me instead. You probably won't regret it, but there are few guarantees in life.


Open up this directory in your code editor and then open the "code.js" file in the "js" directory. There are specific tasks in that file that you must complete. Once you have written your code, return to this page, refresh the page, then view any errors or other messages in the "console" in Chrome's developer tools (you can open that with "option+command+i"). Do not edit anything at the bottom of that file, that is code to ensure the code you wrote works (the tests)!

_Felicia's_Journey_ (PG-13) *** 1/2 (out of ****)
Every year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences always seems to go out of its way to ignore some of the most extraordinary acting performances of the year. Likely to earn the dubious distinction of a snub is Bob Hoskins, who pulls off one of the year's most remarkable acting feats in writer-director Atom Egoyan's adaptation of William Trevor's novel. Like all of Egoyan's work, the unfolds like a mystery, so I'll keep plot details to their barest minimum. The Felicia of the title (Elaine Cassidy) is a naive Irish teen who travels to England to find the lost lover who left her pregnant. Whom she ends up finding instead--or vice versa-- Joseph Hilditch (Hoskins), a gentle catering manager who offers his help in her search.
As Egoyan employs his usual technique of travelling back and forth through time, some secrets about Hilditch's past and present surface, and the relationship between Felicia and Hilditch is in a constant state of flux--but no moreso than than their individual sense of identity. Cassidy is a natural and likable actress, and she makes for an easily sympathetic audience surrogate. Although her character figures into the title, the key journey of the film is that of the tormented Hilditch, and Hoskins does an astonishing job in bringing this very complex character to life. It's impossible to adequately describe the difficulty of his acting task without divulging critical plot information, but suffice it to say that Hoskins pulls it off without a hitch. The film doesn't pack the forceful emotional wallop of Egoyan's last effort, the Oscar-nominated _The_Sweet_Hereafter_, but _Felicia's_Journey_ is a deeply haunting film that only grows moreso upon reflection.

In this page, I am going to discover my story and what motivated me to travel around the world.
Indeed, my life is made of upheavals, adventures and wonderful encounters.
My name is Abdu, I'm 41 years old and I was born in Tizi Ouzou! After studying tourism, I spent a year in Madrid, where I discovered the "joys of living in the city". On my return, impossible to stay in the country, I decided to settle in Paris, which seems to me at the time, the best option from a professional point of view. The charm of the city of Paris did not have much trouble to work on me, pollution, subway odorous and stressed people, have been my daily life and I really enjoyed!
I like ... good products, the hot baguette that comes out of the oven, organic vegetables that taste like vegetables, beautiful pastries that look like works of art, craftsmen passionate about their craft, eat a loaf of bread. chocolate Sunday morning, put curry in all my dishes, make bricks for my family, put at least three different colors on my plate, discover a flavor never tasted before ... But above all, what I like the most c is CHICKEN !!! Ohhh lalala how I love CHICKEN! But beware, I'm not talking about the damn chicken of KFC and all the other chains of restoration, I speak about the AUTHENTIC, the TRUE DELICE, that of the Vitry's Foyer
That's why I made chicken, my ultimate quest! So, I decided to travel the world, different points of the planet to discover how it was a true work of art was cooked in the world and also other culinary dishes.So I went to various countries, like Japan, India, the United States, Italy to expose my discoveries wriggle and your taste buds!
Making the decision to go around the world implies that you also need to be aware of what this will mean in terms of change. In my case, I had a CDI, an apartment, furniture, children, a woman but I decided to tackle everything! So I took my Canon EOS 5DS (only professionals know), my big travel bag, my few cents left me and I went on an adventure.In each country I visited, I had to know the best recipes to accompany the chicken and dishes that represented the country's culture.

Multi-class Document Classification Using Improved Word Embeddings
Abstract
Term discrimination value is among the three basic heuristics exploited, directly or indirectly, in almost all ranking models for ad-hoc Information Retrieval (IR). Query term discrimination in monolingual IR is usually estimated based on document or collection frequency of terms. In the query translation approach for CLIR, the discrimination value of a query term needs to be estimated based on document or collection frequencies of its translations, which is more challenging. We show that the existing estimation models do not correctly estimate and adequately reflect the difference between the discrimination power of query terms, which hurts retrieval performance. We then propose a new model to estimate discrimination values of query terms for CLIR and empirically demonstrate its impact in improving the CLIR performance.

I still love my little LX5. I know I have been a little down on digital lately. I don't mean to be, I still love film, and especially love the simple, effective, and often beautiful equipment used with film. I really do hope that some manufacturer (in additional to Leica) will eventially produce a simple, small, high quality digital camera with a big giant sensor. I hope even more that the trend toward really complicated, big, heavy, feature laden zooms gives way to lenses that actually look better. Right now only Leica seems to make such things at idiotically high prices. Not so long ago everyone did.
Back to the subject at hand, I have had the LX5 for more than a year and still that little device amazes me. Exposure system is fantastic, customization is fantastic, handling is pretty good for an itty bitty camera. More importantly the response is actually pretty snappy - my biggest complaint with digicams up until about 2010. Quality is leaps and bounds better than point and shoot digicams of a few years ago and the lens is absolutely amazing for such an inexpensive consumer device.
The LX5 lens has a bit more than a bit of barrel distortion at the very widest setting, at least it's simple barrel distortion from what I can see. Easily corrected in post if nessesary (rarely) as you get to the mid and tele end of the zoom it is actually very well controlled as evidenced in the attached photos. I have no idea if CA is somehow auto-magically corrected in both JPEG's and RAW files but there isn't a hint of it relative to most lenses - even good ones. The optical image stabilization is so effective I swear it's better than any of the Nikon VR lenses I have ever used. At the end of the day - what's to complain about for a carry around camera?
I know there are a few worth competitors out there now. I actually have a Canon S95 now through a quirk of fate. No I didn't buy it for the reasons I listed a while ago. If I have a few minutes this month I'll try do do a shoot-out for anyone that's interested at this point given that both of them are like really old now. For some reason the little LX5 still seems like one of the best choices out there - even a year on. Even better at 100 bucks less than it's introduction.
Here are two snaps I made right before dinner of a female red throated humming bird out on the porch.

java.lang.Object | +--org.apache.velocity.anakia.XPathTool
This class adds an entrypoint into XPath functionality, for Anakia.
All methods take a string XPath specification, along with a context, and produces a resulting java.util.List.
The W3C XPath Specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath) refers to NodeSets repeatedly, but this implementation simply uses java.util.List to hold all Nodes. A 'Node' is any object in a JDOM object tree, such as an org.jdom.Element, org.jdom.Document, or org.jdom.Attribute.
To use it in Velocity, do this:
#set $authors = $xpath.applyTo("document/author", $root) #foreach ($author in $authors) $author.getValue() #end #set $chapterTitles = $xpath.applyTo("document/chapter/@title", $root) #foreach ($title in $chapterTitles) $title.getValue() #end
In newer Anakia builds, this class is obsoleted in favor of calling
selectNodes()
on the element directly:
#set $authors = $root.selectNodes("document/author") #foreach ($author in $authors) $author.getValue() #end #set $chapterTitles = $root.selectNodes("document/chapter/@title") #foreach ($title in $chapterTitles) $title.getValue() #end

ECharts (a contraction of Enterprise Charts) is a commercial charting solution originally intended to address the report need of the Company's various business systems, such as Baidu Promotion (凤巢), Advertising Manager (广告管家). Previously we used Flash to fulfill those needs, but the problem is, due to Baidu's highly clear-cut division of labor, there is a special team in charge of Flash. As a result, everything – from the design of data interface to personalized needs - has to be negotiated and agreed upon, leaving little room for front-end engineers to control completely. Moreover, there is no Flash common to all the scenes in a system. Worse still, Steve Jobs, the co-founder and then CEO of Apple Inc., insisted that Apple wouldn't allow Flash on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. For all these reasons, and given the soaring popularity of html5, we decided to try something else. Therefore in early 2012 Lin Feng (Kener), the then front-end technical director of Baidu Promotion, tried to make charts via Canvas in the Data Platform Project of Baidu Promotion. He wrote a whole new lightweight Canvas library ZRender, which is actually the prototype of ECharts, albeit miles from the one in front of you now.
Erik, Baidu's senior front-end developer, built the team of Baidu business front-end general technology right after his return. Against the above backdrop, and with the firm support of the front-end team manager Zu Ming, data visualization became an important field of general technology studies. So it's only natural that Lin Feng switched his role and began to head the Baidu business front-end data visualization team, which comprises the foremost front-line software engineers including Shen Yi (tech genius obsessed with web3d), Yang Ji (graphic maniac), Su Shuang (who has hands-on experience of SVG / GUI) and Chen Huaimu (who knows color inside out).
As mentioned above, ECharts is based on ZRender. Back then ZRender had charting features, and we already managed to add the Drag-Recalculate option. Nevertheless, the coupling of various graphic data logic and image rendering, non-modularity, and the arbitrary customized demos made us realize that it was by no means a decent design. Therefore, for the first time we made a large-scale ZRender reconstruction, cutting out all its charting features and making it a pure Canvas library under the hood.
The chart logic from ZRender was then made into the fundamental framework for ECharts Version 0.1, which, to be honest, was still a demo, for the interface was not standardized, and both customization and universality were terrible. Erik, Lin Feng, and three senior engineers from the Flash team (FYI, it was they or their team who made almost all the Flash charts in the Baidu business system over the years) opened six meetings in nearly two months before the final approval and release of ECharts Standard Version 1.0. The standard was defined in pursuit of rational design and high customizability, regardless of implementation costs. So it was like the team was digging itself a bottomless pit. For the ensuing ten months, the team found itself climbing out of the pit step by step.
Lucky for us, we finally made it. On June 30, 2013, ECharts Version 1.0 was launched. And the standard became the API reference of ECharts 1.0 when richer interactivity were added. Its importance is unquestionable despite the fact that it is now only a part of the ECharts documentation. Today when we look back, we sincerely thank the five extraordinary engineers - Lin Feng, Zhao Shu, Erik, Liu Yang, Yang Dong - for setting the spectacular standard. They convinced us that compared with implementation costs, a reasonable interface design is far more important.
It all started as a response to Baidu's own business needs, yet the real opportunity for the way ahead lies in open source. Though there has been innumerable JS charting libraries in China, ECharts, with its revolutionary new functionality and technology, has taken the industry by storm right after its release. Commonly lauded as a "rising star" of China's data visualization, it was featured by mainstream technical media such as CSDN, ITEye, InfoQ, iTongji as well as COS. In particular, OSChina did a week-long ECharts promotion on its home page, with the post being bookmarked for over 1,000 times. What's more, just 18 months after its release on GitHub, ECharts was starred for more than 5,000 times, which means that it has become the most-watched Chinese open source project around the globe. ECharts is also the first Chinese project which selected into Github Explorer Data Visualization. Today, hundreds of companies - ranging over a variety of fields including media, finance, e-commerce, tourism, hotels, weather, geography, video games, and electric power - trust ECharts Solution when it comes to enterprise-grade charting.
We are so very flattered that, just 6 months after its release, ECharts made it to "The Ten Hottest Domestic Open Source Projects of the Year" and took the lead in "The Twenty Hottest New Open Source Software of the Year". In addition, we never dreamed that ECharts would get so many attentions from other domains or countries: expansions of multiple domestic and international versions appeared on RtypeL; it's said that there are two financial consulting firms in the Asia-Pacific region developing ECharts-based BI products, and that someone even pushed ECharts further into the Mayor's Office of Data Analytics, City of New York. We are now full of unexpected delight and we'd like to thank every single ECharts enthusiast for his/her continuing support.
The ECharts team is a bunch of distinct, diligent, dynamic people - who have different skills and hail from all corners of companies - on an extraordinary mission to make your data sing. Come check out the faces that make up Team ECharts.
