>If you want to exercise, you have to cut something else out - the time you spend exercising is time you're not watching tv/eating/sleeping/doing any of the billion things that are more fun than sweating.

There are some routines you can do while watching TV. And there are almost no routines you can't do while listening to a podcast, audiobook or some music. If these things are part of your routine already, you don't have to cut them out at all.
Lyft Rebuffs Acquisition Approach from GM (email Req'd)
But here's the thing: imminent threat is exactly what they are allowed to react against now.

I think the issue isn't actual threat, it's perceived threat. And, cops perceive a lot of things as threatening enough to endanger your life upon.

But we know this. How to fix it? I don't think better training is the answer. I don't think cops will allow cams to work. I think incentives need to change.

Here's a fix: give a 40% (or whatever) pay bump to any officer that chooses to work without his gun.

We'll probably start seeing exactly where guns are required vs where they are an emotional crutch.
Generating Sight-Reading Exercises Using CLP in Clojure (Part 1)
We all understand fear and love and curiosity well enough that we can make rudimentary predictions about them. If I point a gun at someone they will experience fear and respond with fight or flight. If I spend a lot of time with someone and certain compatibility conditions are met, we will experience love and respond with caring behaviors. If I show someone something that they don't understand fully but that has properties that interest them, they'll likely experience curiosity and respond with questions and exploration.

Someone who studies these things (a psychologist or neurologist) could make even more sophisticated predictions.

We may not have a complete low-level electrochemical model of these phenomenon, but we have a good enough model to make some predictions. But if anything, one of the most salient criticisms of free will is that it doesn't allow us to model and make predictions--in fact, it eschews predictions altogether.
No, DRI3 is default in Arch and with that there's also heavy tearing, and I must enable tearfree plus vsync.

DRI3 actually has a weird bug when opening a video with mpv, where you can watch for a split second how a small rectangle is resized to the desired video window's size. This doesn't happen with DRI2 or Wayland.

All of this is most likely very GPU-dependent, so Debian cannot make a decision like that with confidence. I understand that the simple modesetting driver relies on Mesa and there's no UXA or SNA code which can introduce bugs, but I can assure you that when I tried the generic modesetting driver, it was one big tearing party.

BTW, DRI2 and DRI3 in Glamor mode is pretty much the same as the generic modesetting driver, because the SNA code isn't used at all.

I've been tyring my best to migrate to Wayland compositors, but Xwayland integration is still too buggy. But it might be an easier solution than messing around with xorg.conf.
> What? All those things directly cause suffering of an intelligent species. That's why people tried to ban them

People in general dislike suffering. If it was causing them suffering, they wouldn't be doing those things. Also you are kind of splitting hairs. In a country with legalized alcohol, no one is hurt from manufacturing of alcohol (just manufacturing, let's ignore consumption).

> Cannibalism isn't an issue not because it's banned, but because... well... people generally aren't doing that. There is no demand for human meat.

Is that the only reason?

> I think the right question to ask is - is it crueler / environmentally bad than poaching?

Misleading question. You are comparing farming with poaching when the third option is little to no poaching, just like in the 20 years before 2008.

I'm not sure what your problem with this method is, given that the amount of heat given by burning is the definition of a food calorie.

That's like saying "once I learned that voltage was measured by the deflection of a coil in a current (a practice started in the 1800s)" or "once I learned that heat was measured by the expansion of a liquid in a glass tube..."

You could argue that the heat definition of calorie doesn't really reflect the health function of the food (for example, maybe glycemic index is more useful), but I'm not sure why complaining that a calorie isn't a calorie is really insightful.

Also, to avoid making them feel worse about themselves when what they're working on doesn't work out, or when their coworkers are skeptics.

My experience was a bit different than ChuckMcM's; I was at Google a couple years later, and my perception was that it was a lot more open internally than any other company I've seen. But when projects were secret or semi-secret, it usually seemed like it was so that the team members could take risks without fear of criticism or ridicule. It's been my observation that for each famous product Google has released, there is some famous person inside Google who tried to kill it. Secrecy is a form of corporate anti-inflammatory, where it's a way of overcoming the natural immune response against any idea that is new and different.
Well explained and very reasonable.
You just need to find something that you like doing and doesn't feel like a chore. For me it's soccer - I would play every day if given a chance (too bad that my wife wouldn't agree with that though). It's so much fun that I play even if I'm injured and know I shouldn't.

I also go to the gym 4-5 times a week. This is harder to get into. What works for me is going over lunch time. It's a 10 minute walk to my gym and I spend about 35-40 minutes there lifting weights. I would probably go less if I had to go after work as I am usually tired and I have a 40 min commute. If you're looking into starting to lift weights I recommend doing StrongLifts 5x5 - It's beginner friendly.
Are there any good open review platforms?

Because it sounds like a pretty good idea. Freely distributable attributed reviews under non exclusive licence is way cooler than a db full of yelp scrapings.
Look, this sucks, but if a cop is pulling over a car that's showing up in their onboard computer as stolen, it's going to be treated as a felony traffic stop, with weapons drawn.
I was in the same position as you. I grabbed a rack off craigslist with the thinking it'd be pretty easy to sell off if I didn't need it. Wound up using it 1-3 days a week and now it's 3-5. I really like it for when I've got some repetitive tasks or compares running since I can do sets while waiting.
I'm not telling you to go at some small company to do CRUD.

Find a company that is growing fast and join them. They will require a new POS system, a better ERP. Their CRM is going to be out of date. All their stuff will be from 1995 and they will have no idea where they are supposed to go.

That's where a jack of all trade really shines. That or switch to management since you have a good understanding of everything.
Thank you, this is a great conversation.
I have legal concerns about displaying other platforms review information in my app. I link to review websites and their info is used in the calculation. Agreed that it'd be great visually for app.

What if you stayed with Mac and invested in some goodies:

For storage: Why don't you get an external SSD with a fast connection (eg Thunderbolt)? Depending on your budget, data rates can be 450 MB/sec on up to 20GB/s if I recall correctly. I am running a Samsung SSD at 450, and it does fine (a bit laggy sometimes, but it was under $100).

For GPUs: You can buy an nvidia card and mount externally. Here is a good link (though I haven't gone that route yet) : http://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-build-an-external...

What gives me pause is that if "the smartest engineers on the planet"[1] are working at Google, why aren't we reading about Alphabet Space Ventures, or The Alphabet Social Network, or the Alphabet Smartphone company, or the Alphabet Casual Hotel company, or the Alphabet Movies and TV on Demand company, or the Alphabet Electric Car Company. It goes on of course. And the pat answer is that innovation can happen anywhere. But I don't accept that. Google has tried and failed to make phones (Motorola/Android), tried and failed to make social networks (Orkut/Plus/...), tried to make a video business (Youtube Red), Etc and they have been miserable at it.

It hasn't been for lack of spending money, and it hasn't been for lack of "brand reach" or customer acquisition. It reminds me Sun's inability to make anything other than a Workstation when it needed to fight Microsoft on the engineering desktop. Sun was organizationally incapable of winning that fight, and Scott McNealy was unwilling or unable to see the changes that needed to be made to empower the company to do that. How? I think you have to look to companies that have been able to make profitable businesses out of new technologies or products that were distinctly different than their initial success. I don't see Google doing that effectively, and the people who I think were on track to make the changes that would have done that, people like Chris Urmson, leave the company (as the article points out). How is it the organization expells the very people it needs to retain in order to survive?

There is an apocryphal story of the #1 traveling circus that the author saw as a child, and when he finds it again as an adult it is bankrupt. He asks how that could be and the ringmaster tells him that the star of the show would never let any acts exist that would steal any part of the limelight or glory from his act, and then when the star died and there were no other acts and no reason for people
to attend the circus.

Better training is exactly the answer.

Most officers get less than six months of training.

In other countries (with much lower rates of officer involved homicides), officers receive years of training.

It is exactly perceived threat.

But they're so untrained that they perceive many things as threats that are not threats (a man with autism rocking back and forth on the ground while holding a toy firetruck, for example).
Thanks. Will fix in the next release!
> they should be willing to put themselves at risk in order to 'serve and protect' the public, including suspects

By and large, they are. They'd be a lot more so, except for a press and a public ever ready to rip them to pieces for doing their jobs in a way that doesn't make sense to well-meaning people who really don't understand what they're looking at.

I've never been a police officer, but I've had some in the family. Their job is a lot like that of a systems administrator, in one specific way that's of import here: you don't get credit for your successes, because they're mostly only visible to people in your profession, but your failures are obvious to everyone.
As far as regulations / laws go it would not surprise me if that makes it impossible but as far as technically? I don't buy it. I'm not sure what their current infrastructure looks like but it was conveyed to me that each group basically "consumes" the others through various types of APIs.

It would be interesting if they explored it at least. In my opinion anyway.

I absolutely agree. This is the gist of it. There is really nothing more and nothing less.

Better training will always help but is useless without enforcement with "teeth".

part of agile methodologies is the idea that instead of having long weekly meetings you just have some short daily stand-up meetings, in which team members expose what they are working on, what problems they have, and what they need to proceed, if something needs deep discussion it's not fully solved there, but it can be brought up.

The "stand up" part is motivated by the idea that the attendees do the meeting while standing instead of sitting around a table, which implicitly should lead to short and focused meetings

Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and is derived from how we feel about something, not from some objective criteria. It's disturbing to the average person, if not truly mentally ill, to feel that war is beautiful. Do you feel war is beautiful? If not, how can you say that it's beautiful? based on what? There is no objective criteria for beauty. It is a feeling. Remember that.

> I could build it in an hour for free

The big problem is that it's not beneficial for IBM/Oracle/Accenture/$consultancy to quickly deliver a stable solution that works well. They make much more money by having seven layers of middle management committees vote together a crappy solution that will need five years of support/upgrades and then a replacement.

In other industries, like construction, the same fundamental problem exists, but there human lives are at stake, standards bodies have been formed to prevent it, and non-software engineers aren't outsorced to people in India who have as little knowledge as they have pride in their workmanship.

If a contractor built apartment buildings the way IBM and friends build software, they'd be sued out of existence. I mean, have you ever heard of a building project going 3x over budget and then not actually delivering a building at all? It happens relatively often with software consultancies, usually on projects so trivial (like public transport ticketing systems) that it's hard to not attribute it to malice.
I have to exercise or I feel like shit. I think that people that don't exercise have accepted feeling like shit as the "default" and somehow don't mind it.

For me, the difference in my mental and physical health, to say nothing of my alertness and mental clarity, is night and day when I'm running every day. I run 3 miles a day (been running since I was 12 years old, sometimes competitively -- at my best, I was one of the top high school runners in the state of Pennsylvania); it takes only 20 minutes a day, relieves stress, and I feel very relaxed and lucid afterwards. I also noticed that the same amount of sleep takes me farther when I'm exercising than when I'm not. The resultant energy boost tops caffeine.

When I find that I can't run (because of weather, scheduling issues, traveling, etc.), I just do some simple yoga stretches for 15 minutes, and even that really helps my attitude and alertness.

EDIT: Growing up, I was always the scrawny nerdy computer hacker kid that got picked last in gym class who couldn't even catch a ball who was so fed up with it all that I trained and worked my way up from last place runner to state-caliber athlete, so if I can do it, you can, too. I still can't catch a football though.

Like joezydeco said & Dirk Praet on Schneier's blog, the "militarization" of police here is worse than it seems because our police are more aggressive than soldiers on battlefields. Those among my friends and family all griped about the rules of engagement they follow. Like their should be with policing, there's a series of events and escalations that can happen to reduce odds they shoot wrong person or just cause a huge scene.

Dirk said in a debate that our situation would improve a lot if U.S. police encountering U.S. citizens would exercise at least as much caution as U.S. troops do on foreign ones. What an observation.
yes, they probably will.

I think better training might help, but the problem isn't pre-job training, it's the training they get once they've been on the job.

Surely, most average people's first instinct isn't approach any interaction with hand on weapons? I doubt that's due to lack of training. I think that's due to an entirely wrong sort of implicit and explicit training.

Walking around with a gun + license to kill + fostering sense of us vs them for years will probably teach you that escalation and confrontation is the way to get people to back down. So that's what you do.

By incentivizing them to take a second look at their assumptions, maybe we can make progress?

I think Uber Pool only gives you 1 minute from the time the driver arrives, but I've never had a driver leave without the second passenger when they took 5 or 10 minutes to show up. Plus people never like to admit that they're at fault; if they driver leaves after 5 minutes because a passenger wasn't at their pickup point, the passenger can probably leave nasty feedback and risk the driver being banned if it happens a few times.

Starting strength is terrible. I think the most popular programs (5x5, starting strength) are popular because good marketing and not necessary because they are actually good.

Both SS and 5x5 are just insane (in the bad way). They make you squat almost for every workout and I think that is terrible as it a) doesn't let enough time for the body to recover, b) for folks that body form is not ideal for squatting, c) overpowers your lower body, and you end up with a T-Rex type of body form.

I was very lucky to have few friends to introduce me to proper lifting 15 years ago in college. Usual bro-split, 3 times a week is much better and balanced in the long run.
