I can't really say, since I'm not really "into" fitness at all, and everybody is different. Just let a good personal trainer look into it; the whole added value of a personal trainer is that they know what they're doing, so you don't have to know.

Mine let me do a number of test exercises and then created a program to work on the weak points she noticed (while explaining everything clearly), and it worked really effectively.

For example, in my case I needed to work a bit extra on shoulder support muscles because I'm somewhat hypermobile. This helped with all kinds of other exercises, because the shoulder muscles were the weakest link "holding back" the other muscles.

For the multicore-cpus-with-SIMD instruction world, Horner's isn't the best choice. Horners minimizes floating point ops at the expense of parallelism. If you think of the instructions as a parse tree you would want one with a higher branching factor at the top, those you can arrange to have executed in parallel.

Look how Novartis and other drug companies are pricing their cancer drugs:

https://www.change.org/p/secretary-of-health-and-human-servi...

Prices have increased more than tenfold between 2000 (average price $5,000-$10,000 per year) and today (average price of new cancer drugs exceeds $120,000 per year).

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/15/opinion/why-drugs-cost-so-...

Novartis, the company that makes the leukemia drug Gleevec, keeps raising the drug’s price, even though the drug has already delivered billions in profit to the company. In 2001 Novartis charged $4,540, in 2014 dollars, for a month of treatment; now it charges $8,488. In its pricing, Novartis is just keeping up with other companies as they charge more and more for their drugs. They know we can’t say no.

http://www.nbcnews.com/health/cancer/utterly-broken-drug-mar...

Lauren Baumann is one of the lucky ones. Though she has cancer, chronic myeloid leukemia, it is manageable, as long as she takes a daily pill called Gleevec. Gleevec is considered a wonder drug, turning Lauren's leukemia from a death sentence to a disease she and thousands of others can live with. The problem is, even with health insurance and a full-time job, Lauren can't afford the monthly co-pay for Gleevec. It can be as high as $2,000 a month — twice the average mortgage payment in the U.S.

"I feel like you get punished," says Baumann. "I didn't ask to get cancer; I didn't ask to get sick. I was 26 and I was perfectly healthy."

This is essentially extortion due to price inelasticity of demand. $9,000-$12,500/month to survive, for the rest of your natural life! Patients+insurers have to pay whatever price the companies ask. For something as crucial as a life-saving drug, maybe the prices shouldn't be set only by market forces? Maybe generics should be allowed for import after patents expire the first time around?

(There are analyses of drug discovery costs around, and even after all those costs and reliance on basic research funded by taxpayer money, pharma companies make a very healthy profit. Much of the money goes into marketing, which we wouldn't need so much of in a system similar to the NHS which approves drugs for dispensing countrywide.)

Please sign the above Change.org petition (first link) and spread it! I normally don't make appeals, but this is one truly egregious case of unethical profiting.

An international panel of 115 doctors co-authored a paper decrying these ridiculous prices and offering 7 solutions, including allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices once again (which they now aren't allowed to!):

I can name lots of things about Tcl that are actually very pleasant, including the robust libraries, the homoiconic syntax, the ease of extending the language, the quickness that newbies can pick it up, and the performance (which is roughly on par with CPython, Perl and the like). What things have you hit that resulted in such an amazingly strong negative response?
He isn't putting his camera up there 24/7, that's how it is conceptually different.

I'm not entirely sure about that.

It's personal data in the sense that you're likely not allowed to process them (as a business or corporation -- whether for commercial use or not). But most of these laws are written for companies and for individuals granted access to personal information by those companies.

As a person you're certainly not allowed to distribute the information (or at least not any personally identifiable parts of it) but mere "looking at them" doesn't seem like it would be a breach in and of itself.

The article you linked would indicate this: looking at the data isn't a breach of the data protection act, it merely means whatever you do with the data falls under the provisions of that act, limiting what you can do with it.

> Mozilla CEO Chris Beard is saying that hyper-sensitive permanently offended types are welcome within Mozilla.

No, he's saying that employees using public forums to call other employees (including former employees) "batshit insane" are not welcome within Mozilla.

That's kind of distant from whether the target of that attack is welcome (whether or not they are actually "permanently offended"); its not inconsistent that Mozilla would both come down hard on this type of hateful speech (even where it might be accurate) and not be welcoming to the people for whom the description, or even just the "permanently offended" part, was accurate.

> If I were a current employee at Mozilla, it would be time to shop my resume around to saner workplaces.

Good luck finding a place that tolerates this kind of public attack by employees against other employees (even the kinds of places where the leadership might publicly make such attacks on a disliked outgoing employee are unlikely to tolerate underlings doing so independently -- the privilege of painting a giant PR and legal target on the company like that is generally reserved fairly narrowly, where its tolerated at all.)

If that's really something you need in a workplace, I'm not sure any place that would lose you for that reason would do anything but breathe a sigh of relief for the bullet they dodged down the line by your departure.

I am still finding it hard to understand this argument. Why do you think pharma companies like Novartis will continue to be profitable if all of their patents and future patents are ignored? Why would any pharma company invest billions into new research when their IP could just be stolen by an Indian generic and sold for pennies on the dollar?

> maybe the prices shouldn't be set only by market forces??

It's (arguably) not the market here that's the problem, but the patent. The patent means that generic manufacturers can't get in on the market and create a commodity out of it with a race to the bottom on price. The problem isn't the market, but the absolute lack of a market created by the exclusivity of a patent.

We need to find a way as a society that these companies can profit off the research and development of these drugs while still allowing generic manufacturers to do what they do best: create a real, competitive market to produce the drug in bulk.

Unfortunately I don't think there's any clear answers here.

>There is a "fervent" belief in the free market and the idea that capitalism isn't ideal and that we should tweak that split and reduce government involvement. That we should move toward a free market. That gets people excited.

Serious question. How is this any different than unbridled capitalism? No government involvement and a laissez-faire approach to the market is exactly what unbridled capitalism looks like in my understanding.

Just because Socialism is in the name USSR doesn't necessarily mean anything. If we are to look at the name Nazi which was the National Socialists Party and their Italian counterpart was a major proponent (even father of) of Corporatism, a rather extreme form of capitalism (though in the case of USSR it might be true, as I said earlier Communism is a form of Socialism).

The Welfare State has it's roots in Socialism. Socialism is an umbrella term. Anarchism is a main branch of Socialism (the other two being reformism and Marxism) and to be fair extreme Anarchists don't want a State at all so Socialism cannot and does not mean State ownership. This is one of the major confusions into what Socialism means and kills any possible meaningful discussion around the topic, especially in the USA where Communism and Socialism are used interchangeably. The spectrum of allowable political ideology in the USA is so narrow that only center-right and far-right exist. This is a very unhealthy situation as there are great ideas to be found from across the political spectrum. Just to be clear I'm not saying this to say Europe is better or anything but I do find it an unfortunate state of affairs.

Also Lenin didn't kill 50m+ people just because he was paranoid. You can't lump them together. Stalin was arguably worse than Hitler. While Lenin was certainly not a saint, he was an intellectual with brilliant ideas, operating in an extremely difficult environment.

But what if you've a complex app which interacts with GPIOs? You don't want to write the whole app a LMK and run in in kernel space, do you?

I've written a JSON-RPC API which can be used to interact with GPIOs. Currently I set/get a GPIO using sysfs. During handling of a request the operations on sysfs take most of the response time, far more time than parsing the request and writing the result to the client. How could I speed up the GPIO interaction with a LKM?
If you’re evaluating the same polynomial for a million different points (or heck, 20 points), then there should be plenty of parallelism up for grabs regardless of the algorithm used for each evaluation, so minimizing float ops is probably still reasonable.

Such a workload is much more common than a case where you need to evaluate a polynomial of degree one million at one single point.

Note that you can use SIMD, multi-core, GPUs, etc. for your multiple point evaluations, and these algorithms can be turned into mostly FMA instructions.

EDIT, moving this comment inline: To see several suggested improvements to Horner’s rule, take a look at Knuth’s TAOCP volume 2, §4.6.4, which is (I assume) a decent summary of the state of the art in the late 90s, though there’s surely more literature since.

Anyway though, we’re mostly talking about evaluating Chebyshev polynomials here. If you know some papers about speeding up Clenshaw’s algorithm, I’d love to look them up. (I’m currently trying to figure out how fast I can make such code run on a GPU/CPU, for my own use projecting high-resolution raster satellite images onto different map projections, so speedups would be welcome.)
Not being able to fetch one is just as bad as not being able to fetch all.
He's implying that they already make their money back, and that billions in investment does pay off, even with the existence of Indian generics - and that will continue to hold true in the future.

Ofcourse from the big pharmacy side, the generics represents lost opportunities, they want to make more money.

I would suggest a change to your first sentence: "some stressors methylate genes, and those same genes may be methylated in descendants."

It is not a "mutation", at least not in the sense of a stable and heritable gene change. DNA methylation can be reversed, hence it is considered an epigenetic change, rather than a genetic change. The controversy over epigenetics seems to be about how long an epigenetic change can remain in a series of offspring, and how much of an impact an epigenetic change can have on the genetic material, the only long-term mechanism of heredity that we know of.

Whilst I agree with you. I would like to point out that babies being born with no legs (generally with appendages missing) is in fact known to be one of the great screwups of pharmacology (though anyone reporting it today would undoubtedly hold the pharma industry responsible. In my opinion that is not a reasonable position to take. It was almost unheard of to do separate pregnancy testing (it's still not common at all), therefore blaming someone for not doing them is not fair).

It is even a truism to say that medicine for pregnant women (when not relating to the pregnancy itself) is far behind "normal" medicine, as for most treatments it is not known what effect they'll have on the embryo, or if there will be interactions between the pregnancy and the treatment. Of course there is also a number of treatments that can't be used because they're known to be harmful, but not nearly as many. This crisis is one of the main reasons for this.

But what caused babies with no legs: The softenon/thalomide disaster.

Here's the full story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide#Birth_defects_cris... More photos illustrating exactly what went wrong can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phocomelia

The scary part is that it was a problem relating to the chirality of the molecule used. Very few chemical tests of the molecule would have even revealed that there were two kinds of the molecule, and there was no good reason to assume one would cause deformed babies. In other words: this was extremely likely (and sadly) an honest mistake. 20000 deformed babies were born, about half survived (I went to school with a very cute and smart one). One enantiomer causes babies with missing appendages, one does not. Both help against a number of cancers, various serious diseases and there is some use as a sedative and it helps against morning sickness during pregnancy.

Getting the chirality right is bloody hard, even for people with advanced chemistry degrees (especially getting to the required purity).

This disaster is also well known for being one of the main reasons our current pharma regime is what it is.
