No offense meant for something working for you. If it works for you, keep doing it.

I've competed now in three separate strength sports (powerlifting, strongman, olympic lifting). There isn't a single person on any competitive circuit that only lifts weights once every 8 days. You might be getting strong for you. You started in March, so you are on the ultra-beginner slope that means you can basically do any training in existence and make gains. That will steadily slow.

Regarding a definition of "strong", there are many, but the one most people in the strength industry agree on is:

* 2.5x bodyweight dead lift
* 2x bodyweight full squat
* 1.5x bodyweight bench
* 1x bodyweight standing strict overhead press

So a 180lb person who is "strong" will have a 450lb DL, 360lb squat, 270 lb bench, and 180lb OHP.

No offense to the one person you read, but hundreds of years of strength athletes are on the side of lifting weights multiple times per week.

You're bringing back memories. I was an AIX sysadmin (among other things) when IBM added a new layer of tech support because too many issues were making it through to the developers.

You had the script readers, someone to read the man page to you, then the new layer, that I never reached because I don't like yelling and we only had 8 servers. Then, I think, you got to someone who could triage issues.

Not sure if you were being sarcastic ;) but the code in 'external-tests' is just that: tests.

It makes a UDP connection, it sends and receives some packets and then exits again. It's by no means a functional VPN, just the handshake.

No doubt it'll grow into an actual client, but don't be too amazed by it just yet :D
Hi Jason,

Thanks for your story. I absolutely agree that this whole buzz IS INDEED worth giving a try.

I am a part of a very small team, working on a SaaS app and I know how challenging it gets when there are so few people around.

But it's also a huge advantage - nobody can really limit you.

Good luck and all the best!

I use robinhood even though I have a "proper" brokerage account. I would be happy to pay an $8 commission if I knew what I was getting for the money over what robinhood offered, but as far as I can tell I'd just be paying $8 to use a crappier UI to make my trades.

A friend described it to me as AWS wanting to get a few multi-million dollar per year accounts. By offering tiny amounts of credit to every YC startup, they know they have a good shot of getting a couple of those each year.

Which totally makes sense.

Strong opinions voiced a certain way will still probably devolve into a shouting match with crass language and potentially seething hate. But it's by definition not personal, as the responders are either responding to your points in earnest, or just trolling.
Firstly, if you don't like Facebook, don't use it. I know I don't.

Secondly, you can still find alternative views on the internet if you look. I know I looked prior to the referendum. Unfortunately, relatively speaking, I found little evidence of reasoned argument from the Leave camp. Events after the referendum, such as their lack of a plan and leadership, confirms that was probably an accurate reflection of their position rather than any "bias" of the internet.

Show HN: A compiler written in 1k lines of JavaScript for a small language
This might get downvoted because it's just a link, but:

zxcvbn is actually a great password strength library, JavaScript, client-side, and only about 400 kB or so last time I checked (compressed, including (!) dictionaries). It was developed by a Dropbox engineer for the password setting/changing dialog at Dropbox, and open sourced, if I'm not mistaken.

Again, this is a great tool, client side, small (smaller than most webpages and adds these days at any rate), and it also allows to provide a list of "custom black list words" not to use in the password (e.g. username, site name, etc.).

AFAIK, zxcvbn really is the gold standard here.

Given this, I don't really see how a server-side check is better or necessary. Ebay really ought to provide a much better answer than "trust us" here.
I majored in biology because I felt it was the field that would be the most difficult to learn on my own. It wasn't the best choice, and I initially regretted the decision after I graduated. Biology is not well-respected among HR departments -- the degree requirements for many technical jobs read something like "must have degree in math, statistics, computer-science, or one of the hard sciences." Compounding the problem, I went to a school that is very committed to the liberal-arts ideal, and as such I have a BA rather than a BS.

Now that I have had several years of experience in 'real-world', I'm glad I chose the path that I did. Biology might not be a 'hard-science' as many people define one, but it is every bit as rigorous as chemistry or physics. I actually feel like biology gave me a leg up on people in a similar role, because experimental design and rigorous analysis is vital to getting good data in biology, since your area of study is affected by so many variables, many of which are stochastic.

If there was one thing I would change, I would have taken many more electives outside of the sciences. I branched out my senior year after I capped the number of credits I could take in the biology department, and scheduling issues wouldn't let me complete my CS minor. I enrolled in classes in Russian Literature, Studio Art, Art History, Philosophy, and Film Theory. I've constantly been surprised by how often the limited exposure I had to those fields has been helpful, especially Art and Philosophy.

It's important to remember that programming is only a method of solving a problem, you need to be able to understand the problem to put it to use. Low level courses often focus on teach the language you need to communicate in a given field, which is incredibly valuable as a developer.

Last time I looked you couldn't hold fractional shares (i.e. by reinvesting dividends) at Robinhood. Obviously, most real brokerages such as Vanguard will allow this.
Thank you. Everyone who seeks funding should probably understand this.

We are fine in terms of money, I just had this (misguided) idea that getting funding now helps me to be even less involved in the project but since my decisions made this a success I think we really look to sell the whole thing.

Before we do this we will keep growing it for a little longer and try to make everyone replaceable. It doesnt matter much for us anyway. We just want to get done with the making money part of our life and will get there regardless if we sell or not until the end of the year.
Using MySQL does not support Oracle, unless you buy their support packages. If anything, it's a cost center to them.

That said, I do prefer the PerconaDB packages myself, but that's because they are a pure superset of the core MySQL, and improvements to MySQL are improvements to PerconaDB.
Question: why people seem to be so affected by unpleasant contributors? I mean, no one forces these people to use an open source project and no one has an obligation to support it at all, yet I see articles like this popping up pretty often. What's the harm in ignoring the unpleasant contributors and focusing on the ones that provide actual value to the project?

I think there is a vacuum in US politics waiting for another real populist movement. And it should be working on the base of local and state offices, as well as building party machinery that transcends any single election. And it should NOT be focused around Hail Mary presidential candidates like Bernie until there is a network of democratic socialists in power somewhere besides Vermont.
>Might as well pay for something that will get you past HR.

Which for a sad number of professions (lots of them in tech) is pretty much all your degree is good for-at least it feels that way-provided you have enough drive to take on and have the ability to show side projects and "portfolio" type work to the person who will actually end up hiring you.

Just to point out to people who may not be aware, this leaves you open to currency risk. The FTSE 100 dropped 3% in GBP terms last week, but maybe 10% in USD terms.

This cuts both ways of course: you can make money on favourable currency moves. But it's an important risk to be aware of before buying assets in a foreign currency.

Dividends are also taxed, so even reinvesting has a cost.

Facebook adjusts News Feed to favor friends and family over publishers
The narrative would be more persuasive if it incorporated a story of how the paper evolved meaningfully in response to peer criticism. The question lingering in my mind after reading this is whether and how the paper was substantially revised (in light of reviewer feedback) between rejections. I'm sure it was (it has to have been, right?), but we don't get that feeling from the blog post. The author(s?) should have received a large amount of very good feedback between rejections from well-meaning peers in their scientific community. I don't recall reading about incorporating any of that feedback into subsequent revisions of the paper. The term "meta-analysis" probably should have been dropped after the first (pointed) rejection, for example, and the paper should probably have been broken down into two or three smaller papers rather than submitted as a 'meta-analysis' of unpublished work.

This is not to say that peer feedback wasn't taken seriously. I don't know that at all. But if the goal is to persuade a skeptical audience that academic publishing is broken, the author should articulate how they followed best practices in response to rejection letters from peer-reviewed journals. The alternative is to sound arrogant and self-defeating, which I'm sure was not the intent!
I don't see a good reason why handing out a certificate to Hitler would be grounds for having your root trust revoked.
Quantum phenomena in biology
For (b) – yes, papers generally get DOIs.

I would love to have something like this. However I think that you may be overestimating the willingness of people to contribute high quality discussion about a paper. The people best able to offer expert critiques are the same people who have the least time to do so. The fact that the peer review system regularly manages to do so is something of a miracle, but that's because we've managed to get prestige and career advancement tied to membership on program committees and editorial boards.

I think for something like this to work you'd need to think carefully about how to compensate reviewers. And I don't think that compensating them with money will work that well, since most academics care much more about career advancement and prestige than money (otherwise we'd be in industry...)
"this is a zero-sum game"

Minor quibble. That is not accurate.

You see teenagers buying hotdogs with a credit card.
Visa and Mastercard go public, you buy shares, it goes up, up, up.

There's no zero sum here and people can spot special values without deep analysis.

Agreed - all of this is necessary to keep sane.

I maintain UI Bootstrap (over 12k stars on GitHub), and I have to make decisions on bugs and feature requests. I prefer erring on inaction of response if I am not sure of how to decide, and I make it a policy to close support issues on the repository.

Ultimately, if someone really cared about a particular issue, the person would make an attempt at a pull request to help contribute. I will even often help give most of the important abstract information needed for a contribution too to assist in the general implementation, but I can only do so much work for people.

I am also inclined to help bad attitude people the least - it is the quickest way for me to take longer to reapond & implement, so be nice to your friendly open source maintainers people!

This is good advice for many people, sure, but not a replacement for transparency. Several companies I talked to for my first internship came with NDAs and noncompetes, and there's no way in hell I was scraping together lawyer money to address each one. Googling and asking friends was the only thing going.

Remember that freaking Jimmy John's sticks their sandwich makers with noncompete clauses. These are not people who have the freedom to reject a job offer, the pull to renegotiate a contract, or the money to hire an attorney. But they might well have the option of checking out a website and deciding which fast food places to apply to based on how abusive the contracts are.

More broadly, I'm skeptical of any argument which starts from "this doesn't need to be publicly available knowledge, just pay a lawyer to tell you how things are done". Personal legal advice is a good hedge, but it often highlights points where transparency is lacking and people without savings are getting screwed.

Exactly correct. From a tax management perspective, low inflation and low yields is preferable to high inflation and high yields.

"The connection between exercise and brain health has now been super conclusively and astonishingly shown, but what are some possible evolutionary reasons for this connection?"

Your question assumes that bodily health and brain health are separate and distinct things - as if we are mental beings that just happen to have bodies.

Perhaps we should read the headline as "exercise releases body healthy protein" ... I doubt we'd consider that an evolutionary paradox.

Probably these results should be considered ipso facto.

Often times server logs are sent to other locations (such as central locations) for storage. This can be storage for compliance purposes. I wonder if these are logged and sent to some other location. They may be visible to a great many people who don't have direct server access.
