I always find it curious to treat "exercise" as a boolean.

I have played basketball, football, ran cross country, multiple events in track & field, jogged, lifted weights, snowboarded, played ultimate frisbee, and done daily situps by the hundreds (a la American Psycho).

They all have a different affect on your body and they require differing amounts of preparation and concentration. I don't think all forms of exercise are considered equal and I suspect that different kinds of exercises would likely yield different results.

Notice that many of the examples of exercise I used are team sports and others are individual activities. I don't think this distinction can be ignored. Also, having concrete goals for exercise gives a person a different level of motivation than just a vague "allot X minutes in my schedule for some sort of exercise".

The idea of the combination of exercise + meditation is interesting. I feel like this would also lead to better sleep habits and more concentration and self-regulation of your schedule, which are both beneficial in their own ways.

> The problem with that is that all other methods of regulating the behavior of sellers do even worse.

I think this is where our views diverge. In essence what they're doing is false advertising: "buy this product because it's at X% discount!!!" when in reality it's at a lower discount or in some cases it's not even discounted.

Advertising is regulated, and there are good reasons for that, just think about an ad like "smoke cigarettes, they cure cancer" (granted, hopefully, an overblown example).

Some view free markets as a goal onto themselves, I think this is a mistake. The goal is (or should be) a good society, whatever your definition for "good society" is. Just because the best societies so far developed using some forms of "free markets", doesn't mean that pure to the extreme free markets would be a better means to the goal when compared to more regulated markets.

> The definition of "free market" is that all transactions are voluntary.

That is correct, once both parties agree to the terms (price, quantity, quality, deadlines and so on) the transaction goes through. People usually view governments (the regulator) as third (intrusive) parties to the transaction, that's not true. Governments are representatives of the people, and as such, regulators simply add a priori terms to a transaction.

Historically, regulation has managed to right some (not all) of the more awful side effects of free markets, including: child labor, deadly workplaces, labor bordering slavery, labor inequality, disastrous environmental externalities and more. Is regulation always perfect? No. But then again, by your own admission neither are free markets :).

As a user of open source software, I really appreciate Google's open source codec efforts and their continuous improvements of the VP codec family.

However, as an end user, I'm not sure if I like Google's regular backwards-incompatible updates of their VPx codec family. It usually takes a while for SoC/GPU/CPU manufacturers to update their designs to support the new version, and for the case of desktop or laptop computers, it takes (on average) more than three years for them to finally show up in my devices.

During that time, for example Chrome will fall back to software decoding for Youtube videos, which causes increased power consumption and lower battery life. As long as it doesn't factor available hardware acceleration into codec selection, I will continue to highly recommend extensions like h264ify to all my video-watching friends and family.

I can see that real-world market share is an important factor in convincing chip designers to implement a given codec, but I am not willing to pay for that with my mobile battery life.
Also, depending on how far back Opera have logs stored, you might want to uninstall it several months/years ago.

"Not feeling well" is honest though broad. People shouldn't feel bad about telling their boss that. Bosses should feel bad for prying for details. The only point of that would be to judge whether the specific problem is a "real problem".

The typical policy these days is to transfer the employee to some sort of disability after certain patterns of absence (X days in a row, Y days over period Z). I feel that is a good compromise. It's also very good for small teams since it's a predictable insurance payment, not a risky hire.
Correct. But you don't need to be a physical resident to vote in a state. (Nor can you pick a state at random.) Here's what the government says, from https://www.fvap.gov/citizen-voter/additional-info :

> Citizens residing outside the U.S. may not arbitrarily choose which State to declare as their legal voting residence without meeting the State's residency requirement. The following are basic guidelines to follow in determining voting residency:

> * Your "legal State of residence" for voting purposes is the address where you last resided immediately prior to your departure from the U.S. This residence remains valid even though the citizen may no longer own property or have other ties to their last State residence and their intent to return to that State may be uncertain.

> * Voting in an election for Federal offices only may not be used as the sole basis to determine residency for the purposes of imposing State and local taxes. If you claim a particular State as your residence and have other ties with that State in addition to voting, then you may be liable for State and local taxation, depending upon that particular State law. Consult your legal counsel for specific questions or situations.

The qualifier "for voting purposes" is why there's no fraud.

I do have adium on the latest release (1.13.1), but aside from that I see the same thing, here's a summary of the Sparkle CFBundleShortVersionString on my system (dates added by myself):

9	1.5 Beta
2	1.5 Beta 5
12	1.5 Beta 6
1	1.5
1	1.6
3	1.8.0
1	1.9.0
2	1.10.0
1	1.12.0
1	1.13.1

However note that Sparkle 1.5 isn't even compatible with El Cap, I expect a number of these are in software I haven't launched in years and have just been carrying from migration to migration, the up-to-date software may be using an up-to-date sparkle.

Or not.

Probably not though, considering Acorn 5.2.1 (released in December 2015, the same day as Sparkle 1.12.0) uses Sparkle 1.9.0 (released in January 2015)

Not the prettiest thing, but there you have it.
Kindly point to the relevant state law which requires you to be a physical resident of the state, and thereby disallows deployed members of the military and overseas voters from voting in the state. There may be some, but I've not heard of one.

In any case, your complaint was about the lack of representation in Congress for overseas citizens, excepting by those who fraudulently declare residency in the state. The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act says the state must allow overseas voters to vote in federal elections, and therefore do have representation, and without resorting to fraudulent means.

I believe in the context of WebRTC and video chat generally this is less relevant, as many hardware implementations are limited to the "play a video" use case, and while in theory they may have enough silicon to decode 4 small videos of other participants, while encoding another of the user, all at the same time they don't often in practice support that use case.

When it was discussed in one of the WebRTC meetings the only video chat application that anyone could name that used hardware acceleration was Apple's Facetime, if I recall correctly.

You can get the direction of such waves by looking at 2 experiments at once, or experiments with 3-d mirror arrangements instead of 2-d ones.

Yes, the existance of grav waves is only possible if they travel at some top speed, which is presumed to be the speed of light.
Why does the statement “2i;” Not cause a compiler error?
For Google, sure. Everybody working with the in-house hardware could do so without hunting for a version of the internal patch/fork. Using the fork would surely be easy enough when directly using LLVM, but the deeper it is hidden within a dependency tree, the more friction it adds to whatever the user at the root of that tree is doing.

Everybody else pays a small "maintenance tax" when working on the codebase or relying on work being done on that codebase.

Being by no means a compiler expert I do suspect however, that this "tax" is tiny and likely to be dwarfed by other contributions from Google, so letting them solve distribution of their private backend by piggybacking on the public release is most likely the right course of action.
