> Consensus is obviously preferable.

Holocracy actually doesn't use consensus. The mechanism in Holocracy for decision making can be summarized as "do whatever you think is right to fulfill your stated role. No consensus nessesary. If the way your doing thing is actively preventing someone from fulfilling their role, then you two work it out (through a strict mediation process) but other people's opinion of what you should do is irrelevant (i.e. No consensous). Only the roles directly effected have to agree." Consensous seeking usually descends in to hypotheticals, theory, and butt covering. far better, according to Holocracy to just let people animate their assigned roles however they think is best.
I think it is also due to the individualistic nature of modern society, which is often related to work commitments, but not entirely. People want to work out at a time that suits them and it is hard to organise everyone. Crossfit seems to have this problem as well so I don't see why people don't just play sport. Most people who do crossfit don't even look that fit. When in ancient history did humans need to lift 60kg over their heads anyway?
There are standard corpuses for compression / decompression. Against a specific README file isn't interesting.

Give me the full results against the standard corpuses (in different sizes).

The biggest fallacy of "compression results" is non-standard data sets.

Well, it is how the DMCA works. If the videos are uploaded by someone else (not by Udemy), then all they have to do is remove the video promptly if sent a DMCA request. If they did that, they would not be liable for damages.
Can't agree more or upvote this high enough. As a programmer working in an entertainment medium (video games), I can understand both of the (caricatured) sides you posit. Ultimately my sympathies rest with content creators whose experience of the "disruptive" forces of technology and contemporary startup culture is a net negative to their individual livelihoods and their profession more generally.

I'm all for technology moving fast, even breaking things. I just want those agents of disruption to spend as much time cleaning up the mess they create in the process.
> The trainer is very good and there is a big focus on safety and avoiding injury. The trainers are always available to help and guide you on how to exercise properly and safely. In fact I think it's much safer than going to an ordinary gym where you are left to work it out yourself and you'll probably do it wrong, endangering your health.

You are fortunate to have a good trainer at your box, but you don't have Crossfit to thank for that. The minimum requirement for opening a box is a one weekend training course to get your Level 1 certification. That's it. Considering the skill level required to properly coach some of the Olympic lifts involved in Crossfit training, a weekend hardly scratches the surface.

As for the big focus on safety and avoiding injury, a number of WODs have heavy lifts for time that invite form breakdown and injury (e.g. "Diane"). Then there is always the "Uncle Rhabdo" mascot and the strange glorification of ripping blisters off your hands doing kipping pullups, but I digress.
I'm not sure you're addressing Crossfit. While it has its faults, CF is all about "functional movements" similar to what you're arguing for. No WOD consists of "[s]quatting heavy for ten reps;" instead, they're combinations of lightweight movements. CF athletes are generally built more like a gymnast (or a Navy SEAL) than a gym rat.

I think it is slightly different since Udemy is charging so much to view the infringing content. People weren't mad because it was free to view videos on youtube... youtube wasn't making money from the pirated content, in fact they were losing money in bandwidth costs... in contrast, Udemy is charging $19 for this guy's class... very different.

17 U.S. Code § 512 - Limitations on liability relating to material online

(c) Information Residing on Systems or Networks At Direction of Users.—

"(1)In general.—A service provider shall not be liable for monetary relief, or, except as provided in subsection (j), for injunctive or other equitable relief, for infringement of copyright by reason of the storage at the direction of a user of material that resides on a system or network controlled or operated by or for the service provider, if the service provider—"

...

"(B) does not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, in a case in which the service provider has the right and ability to control such activity"[1]

That's the killer. This service not only charges, they charge on a per-course basis. That's direct financial benefit from the infringing activity.

Basilisk II: An Open-Source 68k Macintosh Emulator
Really excited to see how this develops. My main objection to criminal charges for abusive prosecutors is that bringing criminal charges against someone for doing their job has always struck me as being one step away from mob justice. I know I would never take a job where part of what I'm being paid for is running a risk of criminal prosecution. You just never know where the political winds are blowing at any given time. You can hedge against a risk of civil litigation, but not against criminal prosecution, nobody in their right mind should go anywhere near that shit unless they absolutely have to. I personally wouldn't mind rolling the dice on a world where there's no prosecutors because nobody will take the job and therefore no criminal justice system, but perhaps that's not the best solution here.

But I do believe solving this would be an important victory for rule of law, giving wrongfully-prosecuted citizens a viable legal path for redress of grievance. Just off the top of my head, I would say that the worst penalty anybody should have for not doing their job properly is to lose that job, and that the system should be set up to properly train them and to absorb the costs of someone screwing up. Any other kind of work environment is abusive. So limiting liability to civil damages paid out by the government in malicious prosecution cases makes sense to me. Much as I want to clap these assholes in irons and make them serve alongside the people they wrongfully convicted, I don't think that's objectively the right move here.

> The NSA has had dragnet surveillance of most or all of the US internet for some years. If that's not a 4th Amendment violation, then nothing is.

Even assuming that were true, I disagree it would be an archetypal 4th amendment violation. Privacy on the Internet doesn't exist as a matter of fact. Anyone who controls a router between you and your destination can see your Internet traffic. When you try to apply the 4th amendment to the Internet, you're not asking the government not to intrude on an otherwise private space (i.e. the heart of the 4th amendment). You're asking it to indulge a purely legal fiction of privacy.

Kickstarter is different because you usually get something in return, and this was the essence of my original question. Anyway, I think gift is the answer, which I didn't know.
I doubt many professional personal trainers would have recommended someone do the routine that caused you an injury. Working out is kind of intended to do the exact opposite - I'm surprised you do not hold place more responsibility for the injury on the instructor. If, after some kind of initial evaluation, they encouraged you to do something you couldn't actually safely do, I think the fault lies more in the crossfit trainer than yourself.
As long as the leaders in the field accept that Econ is held to be "value free" and that science and reason are divorced from defining values then, yes, the field is lost.

Isn't the problem exacerbated by the traditional monogamous relationship structures? Why must there be a pairing and nothing else? Why are there only two choices of "unmarried men" or "married men"?

Article's terms like "competing for brides" betrays a certain "ownership of women" mentality, IMO.

So when we talk about cultural attitudes leading to this "missing women" problem, we can't disregard the cultural/societal context of two-person marriage as the only way.
Except the UX of that is horrible. I'd have no idea how to set-up that and I'm sure it would take me at least a couple of hours...
Not really. Doctors are part of a very science/research heavy industry so most of the serious research is focused on them but the relatively few sources available on lawyers have the same conclusions about competitive, economic, and intellectual incentives selecting for a very narrow class of people. The really interesting part comes when you expand your outlook beyond the Western research world (which very few metastudies in psychology do, unfortunately) where these results aren't always so clear cut. It appears that a culture such as the one in India or Cuba, which heavily emphasizes education in family life, can have turn a lot of that arrogance into humility.
This is really cool! I made a fairly simple system with plants, herbivores, and carnivores... Plants can reproduce to any open square on the board. Herbivores and carnivores reproduce when they eat, and can die from overcrowding or randomly from disease/old age. Corpses provide fertilizer for nearby plants. Certainly not the most realistic model, but a lot of fun to mess around with!

> Pattern rules are your friend

Amen. Been writing small makefiles for many years, and only recently learned how to use pattern rules properly. They finally relieved my temptation to use eval.

Speaking of eval, I have one makefile tip I've learned the hard way: the example in the gnu make manual for eval doesn't run! It has an incorrect "=" (equals sign) in the define. I've racked my brain against that one for hours, twice, because a couple years later I'd forgotten about the first time I figured it out.
Well lots of people come into the picture when you build any engineering system. This includes software and hardware. There are many cost tradeoffs and compromises.
So maintaining the 'justice system' is an ends in itself? Why should I care whether or not the government has a particular department?

There needs to be a systematic and reasoned standard way for people to have redress of grievances, which does not take things to excess.

Having this be handled by the government seems to be a reasonably good solution.

Having people handle things themselves isn't reasoned or systematic or standardized and does tend to excess, and is bad for everyone. As tends to be demonstrated fairly clearly every time it happens.

If the current system of having the government handle this collapses or loses people's trust -- assuming this isn't due to some better system being implemented -- it would only leave people to handle things however they feel, and would be rather harmful.
In Asia, it is customary that women take care of all the household tasks. Many women actually feel insulted (not sure if that's the right word, maybe more upset?) if a man starts to do one of those chores. This is more common in even the younger women there than you think.

Also, the way dating works is much different than the current western standards. Think more US circa 1930. Therefore, his not doing the chores may not be such a huge part of why he can't find someone.

Not making a judgment on whether its good or bad, but that's how it is.

Economics as a science is just a backup major for people who failed the maths requirement for Operations Research. Economics isn't so much a science as a study of ethics regarding asset allocation.

This is a really interesting topic.

I think that there are two ideas that combine to create a requirement for traditional monogamous structures - 1) Land Ownership and 2) The family as a power-wielding unit (not just immediate family but extended family)

Land is power, in Asia and everywhere else. It's advantageous for a family to get more land. Also, it needs people to take care of/improve the land. The best way to do this is to have a son who can earn more land, bringing it into the family, and then marry a young girl who can create more members of the family to work and repeat the process.

Now, here's where competition for brides comes into play - it is in the girl's best interests that she picks a mate with lots of land/power, since that means her offspring will be better off, and she will also probably have a better life. So potential suitors will compete to show they have better resources. This is really in the girl's interests - she has the power here.

So why doesn't a girl work herself? Well, in much of Asia, hard labor is still dominant. Men are much better at physical labor than women. With the advent of more IT-related jobs this is starting to change, but men are still in higher demand for jobs than women.
