> techno-libertarian crypto-currency advocates inhabit an entirely alternative reality.

I really don't understand how people keep parroting stuff like this. By any metric, Bitcoin has been a resounding success and has completely discredited any of its original detractors. Despite this, people still go around saying "Haha, Bitcoin, what a silly idea. It will never work.". It already has worked!

If anything, people like you (no personal insult intended, I'm simply addressing your comment) seem to inhabit some alternate reality where Bitcoin isn't tremendously valuable and there isn't a booming economy (with white, black, and grey markets) build around Bitcoin.

As a competitive powerlifter (and certified personal trainer) I should caution that there is an important difference between general strength training using the squat/bench/deadlift and the actual sport of powerlifting. Powerlifting involves not only doing competitions, but also training specifically for them using maximal weights, which considerably increases the risk of injury with no training benefit other than temporary competition readiness (peaking).

Unfortunately, sexy as it sounds, liberally calling strength training "powerlifting" drives too many newcomers into an ego-lifting mindset, attempting maximal singles for no good reason, or soon hopping on some extreme Russian peaking program they found after Starting Strength.

Learning the powerlifts and training for strength is great for anyone, but unless they actually plan to step on a platform and risk their skeletal integrity for white lights in the near future, I strongly recommend that people keep strictly to weights they can safely lift for 5+ reps per set, and only track the calculated (rather than tested) 1RM.
but then we could not really have multi tasking.

I was curious what the respective chains hashrate is:

Ethereum classic: 650~ GH/s

Ethereum: 4400~ GH/s

The minority chain is honestly doing better than I expected. I wonder how long it will last?

What about price:

Classic: $1.87 USD

Ethereum: $11.69 USD

That's fairly significant volume for both. It will be interesting to see where this ends up.

What I got from it was that adherence to a dietary rule IS a matter of state of mind and for most people it's easier to adhere to a more moderate dieting regime.

All rings true to me and a moderate shift in diet can have a big impact for the very obese. If you are only a little bit fat and your diet is already reasonably clean though, then I'm not sure how well this works. The thinner you get the more sacrifices you need to make to lose the next pound.
Never eat _any_ snacks, as it's no time (do not eat between lunch) for it. If you skip a meal, you WILL be hungry, and it's fine, you won't die, next time, do not skip meal. Drink water, drink wine at table, it's never time for sodas, so don't. Now, without tv in front of you (focus on cooking and eating) , eat meat, bread, butter, whatever, and you'll be just fine

Are you absolutely sure? The vast majority of cars have a way for you to re-program keys, key fobs, etc. provided you have at least one master (not valet) key available. You may have to look in weird corners of obscure forums, but you can probably find the procedure. I did this recently in my car and it involved pushing the brake pedal 8 times, accelerator 7, turning the wheel left-right-left, etc. It sounds like a ridiculous wild goose chase, but this is the sort of thing you can expect from car manufacturers.

I'd say somewhere in the middle. Disney has gone through some _really_ rough periods both in the '90s and '00s but now they seem to be on a pretty good upswing. Interestingly, it seems like a significant part of that upswing is through acquisitions (aforementioned Marvel and DC, also Pixar), though they still have an amazing breadth of talent and style.

Such scales exists, but they do it by measuring electric resistance between your feet. So not very accurate. However, if you do it under the same conditions every day (same amount of water in your body etc) you can at least show the trend.

The author is wrong that sleeping more just gives less time for eating. Truth is that sleeping more reduces insulin resistance, increases testosterone production in males and puts leptin under control. All three reduce carb craving, push us towards meat and fat and increase natural fat burning.

>GP does raise an important question. Now that Ethereum has forked, there is a great deal of uncertainty regarding the real benefits of the system, and about whether the benefit is worth the risk of switching.

Oh, absolutely. We should always talk about what was good, what was bad, and what was irrelevant.

I feel the "what we have now is ok" argument is dismissive. It actively prevents us considering the good, bad or irrelevant perspective.

After rereading everything, perhaps i was harsh. The OP presented things in comparison to the current system, which is the right thing to do. I think the emphasis on "the current system works" distracted me.
Alright, I see that we are going from billions to millions. Soon we are going to hit a VM that got just few thousand in funding and still outperforms MRI. Please stop using lack of funding as justification for something that is subpar compared to another thing in the same category. Again, we are talking about VMs, so the comparison is apple to apple. One apple is more shiny than the another, I agree, the reason might be funding, I agree again.
While it's not just a bookstore, I think Fnac is a good example of this: many stores have a kind of coffeeshop inside where you can read the books (for free) and where they regularly host small concerts and discussions with book and movie authors.

Iron man is a jerk. He is the embodiment of all that is wrong with our economy. But that is why the Marvel movies work. That's what I like about them. The characters are human enough for me to actually care. Superman? He is too flat for me to have any opinion.

For all the bluster, the MCU is full of metaphor and leveled humor. My favorite is the 1-minute WWII skit in Avengers (The old jewish man about to be killed by the german, saved by the soldier who then needs the scientist to force a surrender ... that's the american story of WWII.) It isn't historically accurate, but it's fun. You don't see stuff like that in the DC movies. They have no metaphor, no depth. That requires writers and crews who both care about the work and aren't afraid for their jobs.

>the judgement of the Ethereum devs to have ultimate control and veto power over anything

This is the misinformation I'm talking about. The Ethereum devs had neither control nor veto power. That's simply not how hard forking works.

It was made clear multiple times that the decision was up to the community.[1][2] The decision was coordinated via a decentralized community hashpower vote,[3][4] and executed via a majority hashpower commitment.[5] Exchanges and the foundation carried on with the longest chain[6] as is intended with nakamoto consensus.[7]

> Seriously... Why do so many people not care about security?

Seriously?

That's because as of today, not having security in this domain hasn't bitten anyone hard enough, ever.

Just think about it. At least I haven't heard that despite all these car key hacks any significant number of people would've had their cars and/or belongings stolen. Nor have I heard that any one car manufacturer's sales have significantly plummeted because their cars "can be hacled".

After that, it's just pure economics. As of now, the ROI for implementing good security in cars (or anything IoT for that matter) just doesn't pay itself back. At all.

Now, I'd like for the car makers to actually do something before chaos-by-hacked-cars ensues as much as anyone and people have to actually die. But it won't happen before the incentive is there. This is one place where government regulation really, really should come into play. There should already be laws for massive fines plus complete obligations to fix every security and safety related bug in all cars sold. Sound too hard on the makers? I don't think so, just look at the mechanical side of the cars: call-backs to fix those are happening all the time, because everyone understands that you can't drive a car which may hit you with an airbag at 60 mph. Or have a broken airbag system.

Good article. I take it a step furter and tie the hunger system to the satiated feeling one gets from appreciating and savoring the food.

Much has been written about the French Paradox[1] but my belief is that it's not so much about the individual ingredients' metabolic properties as it is about the art of not only crafting but appreciating meals. Savor each bite. Chew and eat slowly. Think about the food you are eating instead of trying to ignore it.

An Italian friend had once remarqued to me about his traditional family dinners where, not only was there an amazing spread of food, people would spend almost all the meal talking about the food. I have to confess doing the same in many cases.

I believe this is the biggest problem with American diets: we try to abstract away the taste and focus on a feature list (anti oxydants, low-carb, high-this, low-that) and all the while rely on poor shortcuts for actual taste. Those poor shortcuts are of course sugar, salt and fat. My French background earns me a perception that I'm a food snob. Perhaps that's true. But things don't need to have fancy preparations to be appreciated, in fact less processing is usually more. I can appreciate the favor of unseasoned steamed rice at a Japanese restaurant, or fresh tomatoes from the garden with no seasoning.

And yes, over time, you will start craving higher-quality ingredients, for the simple reason you can taste the difference. But again, it's a matter of being appreciative, whether it's an elaborate preparation or a simple unseasoned ingredient.

I have no idea if net connectivity is rigged now. Back in the day when cable TV operators ruled the roost, I had heard of existing operators of a neighbourhood ganging up against new entrants. With ISPs, even the last-mile connectivity is handled by major ISPs, so that seems unlikely.

Overall, I don't understand what's going on with Indian ISPs. For example, my traceroute to qoo10.sg (hosted in Korea) reveals traffic going from Bangalore to Delhi to London to Fremont (US) to Japan to Korea. For various other places that are supposed to be close by, I see traffic going all the way to Delhi and then coming back.

I think the demand for broadband is still very low here, and so, unoptimal strategies (from a network packet's POV) are good enough for our ISPs.

I look it this way. People seem to be very different to what they need to experience different feelings. To put that into one-dimensional scale (which does not give justice to the wide variety of peoples' feelings but simplifies the analysis):

One may sense tremendeous joy seeing new flowers in the spring and vast sense of disappointment missing a train when next leaves 15 minutes later.

In order to get the same sensations, some other needs to success in something in which a failure would mean death, or fail in something very difficult that he/she has been working on years.

Now, if you force the first person to not have those sensations, what will happen? I find it a very possible outcome that the life becomes so unbearable that the person is ready to kill him/herself. If this is remotely correct, it should be quite easy to see why some people are ready to take fatal risks voluntarily. To feel something.
I'd rather buy a Google robot car than a Ford (etc) robot car. When it's all about the software you want a software company, the actual car part is a commodity.

Same with computers, TVs, phones, IoT, routers etc.

Yeah and apparently ndk-build support on the stable plugin is only meant for backwards compatibility purposes, but you don't see it described as such anywhere, only a few hints on commit messages.

I had to dig out how it all works with the new cmake plugin from their samples, because the new stable plugin still doesn't manage ndk-build properly.

Also there are quite a few features, like OpenMP, that the clang NDK doesn't support, yet GCC is already deprecated.

Full physical access? It's hard, but seems an unrelated issue in regards to the linked post. The vulnerability here is that you can capture the key from air during transmission, without having physical access to the car or the key. We've had the technology to prevent this for a long time even before this system was designed. One could make a "good enough" argument for 1995, maybe even for 2005 although that would be seriously pushing it as that's after Blaster [1], but the fact that they're still selling vehicles with this system is really bad.

shouldn't someone tell him that almost every free soloist dies [early and spectacularly]?!

This is indeed all too true, but surprisingly very few of them actually die while free soloing. It's nearly always something they took up later that was even more dangerous, such as base jumping, rope jumping, motorcycle riding, etc. that gets them. And even when it is rock climbing that does it, it tends to be on an easier route, with objective chance (Hersey) or suicide (Bachar) eventually deciding things.

One thing you can say about most serious free soloists is that they know their limits on rock.
After dieting for about a week, I became accustomed to it and no longer feel hungry. I actually feel a little sick if I eat anywhere near as much as I used to. Lost 20 pounds in the last 2 months, which honestly might be a bit too fast, but it's hard to complain.

I like to cook and eat a pretty wide variety of food which helps. Dal Bhat (lentils with curry spice eaten by Tibetan mountainers) has become one of my staples. Strength training is also important, but I don't expect to get stronger; just maintain. I still drink a fair amount of beer 1-3 days a week and occasionally eat poorly with friends (maybe every other week), but it hasn't seemed to be a big problem.
> Superman? He is too flat for me to have any opinion.

IMHO, Superman is ethical. He'll stop a nuclear launch and get a cat out of a tree, because he's the ultimate boy scout. Every problem is important to solve, and he has the power to, at least try, to solve them all. Violate ethics for the greater good? Never.

I don't think the Superman point has really come across since Christopher Reeve. I really liked the Nolan Batman movies. He was able to really capture the spirit of that character. It's a shame WB couldn't put that together for Superman.
I can't speak for Cicada, but I have friends who got their start in the intelligence community from similar sets of puzzles. They'd solve a bunch of random crypto / reversing problems they found online, and end up receiving invitations to interview for IC jobs.

If you tried anything for 2 months please don't talk about results. Talk about results in 2 years. Most people don't make it over 6 or 12 months. Also look for having experienced at least one life shaking event and still be on it a month or two later. That kind of event would having your dog die, losing your job, being for some reason required (and unwilling) to move to another town/country, having a wife/gf break up with you, etc.

Without sufficient time investment and having been through situations where you simply don't have discipline for a few months, anything you do has no value and no proof. Because if you fail in these two terms you will end up with more weight than before your attempt.
