If you're running a >30mph ebike, you probably want something larger than 160mm rotors and something heavier duty than XC disc brakes. I'd suggest some downhill gear, including DH forks, headset, bars, cranks, etc. Shimano has the Saint line: http://bike.shimano.com/content/sac-bike/en/home/components1...

Hope makes some nice DH brakes: http://www.hopetech.com/product/tech-3-v4/

Avid has the Code: https://dirtmountainbike.com/bike-reviews/brakes-gears/avid-...

And other manufacturers also make calipers with >=4-piston calipers.

Again for rotor size, 160mm is typically standard for XC, road bikes run 140mm usually, some "all mountain" bikes have 180mm fronts, and 200mm is typically seen only on DH/4x/trials/dirt jump bikes but likely what you want for a fast ebike.

All that said, competition-level road bikes generally hold up fine at speeds up to 60mph (and the riders hit those speeds going down hills) and their brakes work fine. You obviously don't just mash them, and the rim surface they're clenching matters a lot, as do the pads, but the tech works well and has worked for the past 100 years. Weight distribution and even application of both brakes help a lot.
I would definitely not reject you because of that and I took MOOCs myself in the past.
Right. And what do you do if you are hungry after you eat "not too much" ?
> Probably would be nasty to maintain for the compiler developers though. Imagine having to do a bugfix for c++11 mode when you just released c++26 mode.

They already have to.

What you're proposing makes much more sense: it means if you write a C++26 only compiler, you don't have to worry about implementing all the old crap that no sane person uses.
Gotcha. I guess I have been happily avoiding Java apps for the past 10 years. The only one I routinely use is the Cisco VPN client, which wouldn't really work in Doppio.

The remainder of the thread had no substantive disagreement, just questioning my motives for discussing a factual claim.
a thread with 140 points is not really a good gauge for demand

besides the n.1 issue in doing demand validation is "people will say they're interested into something but when asked to put money down very few do it"

crowdfounding is a very good way to get people to put money down, but you need a huge reach for it to be a valid metric.

other than that, it's mostly luck and bullshit.
Do you support vastly expanding SEC powers and making sure it doesn't get "captured" by the financial industry? Do you support massively higher penalties, and far more control over the industry, than it has now, to bring it in line with the power the FDA has?

Do you also only blame the police for not catching a criminal, and not care about the criminal at all?
The technical question part. Because I work on so many different things at the edge of innovation, I have a wide array of experience for a short period of time, and then I move on.

When I interview for jobs, I open up to any of the possible things in my background, of which it will take me perhaps 2 weeks to get back up to speed. But I am not going to take that 2 weeks for each job I interview for.

I have trained my brain to learn things, and discard them keeping only the current tasks in memory. The rest I know how to obtain again.

This means that I get asked questions I know that I've done repeatedly in the past, but can only vaguely explain without a refresher.

To the interviewer, this means I am underqualified at best, and at worst, lying about my past skills.

A lovely example of this during the process was that I was asked a fairly basic SQL question that I failed to explain when I had just landed from my second flight of the day. I didn't get the presales role for working with the database. (non referral job.)

However, I did get offered a job working on development for that database, as well as product management for the database.

So I couldn't get a presales role, that I've done in my past, because I couldn't answer a fairly basic sql question. I knew exactly how to answer it, the venn diagram of sql joins, a half second google, but in an interview, I blanked on the answer.

That is indicative of my experience with non-referral positions. I've given training on sql joins a good 30 times in my life, and couldn't explain the join in an interview.

Just the way it goes for me, thankfully it's not actually impactful in my life.

>Suggesting that grains, or even carbs, are somehow worse than literal fat is misleading at best, and delusional at it's worst.

Carbs/sugars trigger insulin production...fats don't do that. Just look at the Western diet and the substitution of fats with sugars in the food industry in the 70's and you will trace origins of type 2 diabetes that would begin appearing in children - yes, it used to be called adult onset diabetes - now over a million cases.

Carbs are not inherently bad, but there is no doubt way to much in the Western diet and from poor sources.
Thalidomide is the poster child for dangerous drugs approved elsewhere but not by the FDA.

Experts estimate that the drug thalidomide led to the death of approximately 2,000 children and serious birth defects in more than 10,000 children, about 5,000 of them in West Germany.

"This is why I think no one should trust companies that sell you software, that you can't host yourself, for something as critical as documentation and source control."

Omniref founder here. Please try not to think this way, particularly if you're a small team. I realize that this is kind of an impossible request (especially given the source), but one of the things that makes it immensely difficult to start a software tools company is the unwillingness of developers to use hosted tools, particularly if those tools are new and/or different.

When you're a small team, you can only do so many things at once. Supporting hosted users, even in the best-case scenario, takes a lot of time and effort. It's (sometimes) worth it if you can land bigger clients who are willing to pay a premium for that effort, but often those bigger clients won't pay until you have a reputation with smaller teams, or they require lots of custom development that takes even more of your time. So you have a chicken-and-egg problem. It's not impossible to make it work, but it's harder than it should be.

If you're running a small/medium team, try to realize that innovation can only exist in this area if we're willing to support startups when they're younger. I've personally used lots of startups' services over the years for my dev work. Some succeeded, others failed, but trust has never been an issue.
This is hard to answer, I've quit cold turkey since my DPDR developed 5 months ago. It hasn't gone away since then. It comes in waves. I just want to put this out there first: DPDR sucks. It's maybe the worst feeling I've ever felt. You feel completely alone. That your memories are not real. That you aren't the person you see in the mirror. At times even loved ones seem fake. It's scary. If you think you may be susceptible, stay away from VR. It's not worth it.

I don't think VR is the main cause of it, but I also don't think it would have happened without it.

I've been using VR for 3 years now on and off. Mostly off. About a year ago, after my longest VR session of ~1hr I felt DPDR for the first time and the effects of that lasted up to a few hours.

Around 5 months ago DPDR was triggered, but I was not using VR when it was happened. I don't think it would have been triggered without VR, but these all played a large role too:

1. I moved to a completely new city for the first time. 1.5 years ago

2. my best from from my hometown visited me the weekend it was triggered. 5 months ago

3. a stressful night the moment it was triggered. 5 months ago. stress was the trigger.

It's hard to say what role VR played. Clearly it was not the actual trigger. But I think it was large a part for a few reasons:

1. The feelings of DPDR after my trigger is essentially the same feelings as when it was temporarily induced from VR before the trigger

2. VR was my introduction to depersonalization. The first time I felt DP was from VR. 8 through 5 months ago.

3. I have never had anxiety problems or any mental health problems before.

4. ive been stressed plenty of times before =)

I think VR should best be avoided for anyone that is may be susceptible to DPDR.
Are your a scientist? You seem very naive about the scientific world.

If you haven't experienced the cut throat nature of science or the immensely aggressive politics you may need to reassess your rose colored view.

The mantra, is your haven't heard it, is publish or perish.

If your memory is error-free already, you'll be fine.

If it's imperfect, ZFS will occasionally calculate a checksum wrong and write this to all drives in the array. At some point in the future, like when you read the file, the checksum will fail on all drives and the whole file will be marked corrupt. This gets annoying fast.

Your memory is not error-free, but it might be close enough.

Of course then there is Linus Pauling who says that cholesterol has noting to do with heart disease, which he called chronic scurvy, insufficient L-ascorbic acid and lysine is the real underlying cause.

Think this through. Multiple people in the FBI, CIA, DHS, and NSA all decided this? Together? Did they have meetings? And no one is spilling the beans, even though there are maybe dozens or hundreds of people in on it? Not one of them has more to gain by revealing the conspiracy than by keeping silent? And they're all so confident that no one will squeal that they're having press releases now? And the point of this whole treasonous conspiracy was to cause a minor inconvenience for their soon-to-be boss?

That's more believable than "Russia hacked the DNC and the FBI was honest about it"?

> The whole premise of the article is at best a failure in parenting

That's really what I was thinking throughout the article too. His child is in kindergarten. At that age, the majority of exposure to these games comes from the parents.

If you don't want your child exposed to games with broken economic principles that teach you to always want to consume more, then it's easy, let them play something else.

My (not yet kindergarten age) son's favourite game at the moment is hitting a balloon in the air with a paddle and seeing how many hits he can get before it hits the ground. He gets to keep score, practice counting, get some exercise and have loads of fun from all the near hits and misses. It's a game that keeps him amused, and needs minimal active supervision and all it costs is a new balloon every few days once the air from the old one runs out.

If nutrition science "isn't solved", the government shouldn't be making laws and regulations based on it.
Yes! We could replace those flawed and lobbied against restrictions with advice. The market would be free once again to innovate.

Bayer could once again offer Heroin as an addiction free drug. We could get long missed radium cures and snake oil. They could be free to advertise to their heart's content. They can tell us cigarettes are good for us.

The companies can be trusted to have our health at heart. They can spend adequately on SEO to ensure their messages are dominant. Silly government warnings and or indivduals having problems with side effects or Heroin forum posts can sensibly be lost in the far reaches of search.




Seriously? I can't think of anything more stupid, even though the system is horribly flawed.

Want to go back to food adulteration, and poisons sold as cures? Endless advertorials pushing pointless product? We have an entire vitamins and supplements industry that's pointless (and problematic) for most people.

> The problem, according to Isaacson is that the whole CCC community has a set of social norms that have been preventing that.

While I didn't read that out of the article clearly, I have heard it before, and it's definitely a danger of the self-reliance hacker ethos. This is a fair point, and one your other comment addresses nicely.

> The main way to prevent crimes from happening in the first place is to have clear community norms against the lesser offences. Wouldn't you agree?

Well, you can't protect everybody. If what he says it true, he let people know not to sleep with Applebaum, and they still decided to. I don't find this hard to believe, but such is life. (Male) murderers in prison get loads of (female) fan mail. So does the community need to police this, or let individuals decide for themselves with a reasonable amount of facts? I'm a pretty careful person and tend towards caution, but I get that not everybody is like me. But community "policing" isn't the right answer for free will IMO. This only holds as long as nobody was mislead I guess.

> He said he personally witnessed many abusive episodes himself. [...] Instead it is exactly the sort of discussions that have to happen when a community is making a major change in its norms.

Sure, but putting them in a Medium post is hardly reliable. Or at least, it's different and editorialised than if it were under oath or cross-examination. I'm not stupid enough to think the "truth" exists or that we could find it. But I am a bit weary of throwing it out there, into the public, outside of "the community". What is the general public to do with this information? Think Jacob Applebaum is a monster? Or ignore it? Is it factual? There's so many questions here that make it very hard to deal with the material properly, if that's even possible.
I'd argue that in order to properly evaluate your statements regarding C++ (and Rust, for that matter) it actually is important to understand the code and what you're trying to do. Given that there generally is more than one way to solve a problem it isn't unreasonable to think you found a solution that doesn't map (well) to C++ and from there generalize (perhaps incorrectly) that therefore it's impossible in C++ (with similar performance).
Hmm. Could you then disallow any advertising of drug while you're still without FDA endorsement? Like how you're not allowed to advertise cigarettes.

I suspect this line of thinking just leads to too many problems, however.

Story time.

I transitioned an md RAID1 from spinning disks to SSDs last week. After I removed the last spinning disk, one of the SSDs started returning garbage.

1/3 reads are returning garbage and ext4 freaks out, of course. It's too late and the array is shot. I restore from backup.

This would have been a non-event with ZFS. I've got a few production ZoL arrays running and the only problems I've had have been around memory consumption and responsiveness under load. Data integrity has been perfect.
I've had the dream-like state happen to me. Right after I tried VR for a bit longer than 30 minutes it felt like all my senses were dulled. It was very weird.
I think their understanding of nutrition is up-to-date, but focuses on kidney health, not just weight, or the realities of the current American diet.

Whole grains are great and very healthy, and a high-carb diet rich in whole grains and with an appropriate level of calories will be great.

On the other hand, while a ketogenic diet is great for weight control and cardiovascular health, they're probably much worse for your kidneys.

In the US, kidney issues are a problem, but cardiovascular health are a much bigger problem. Perhaps more importantly, people who don't do keto/high-protein usually aren't on a perfect veggie-rich, whole grain diet instead. They're on a diet of refined carbs and excessive calories.

If you're really committed to a super-healthy diet, you should probably eat lots of carbs, but the right carbs--complex and mixed with fiber. If you're an average American who doesn't feel like a diet of veggies and whole grains, high-protein is probably a good route to take. I tend to go high protein (even as a vegetarian) because I enjoy the taste and it fills me up better than many others things I like. It fits my health vs. food enjoyment balance in a way I have the will-power to maintain.

In short, complex carbs are great, but don't make perfect the enemy of the good, and don't set yourself up for failure.
There are many things you could dismiss as style issues, but here is one relating to performance. Rust does not (yet) have integer generics. If I use Eigen (the C++ library), I can declare a matrix of size 6x9 and have the allocation live (cheaply) on the stack. I do this kind of thing frequently (not always 6x9), and in Rust I would pay for heap allocated matrices. The cost in performance can be huge. Maybe this will get fixed in the near future.

My other post is flagged and downvoted by well, yeah, I'll keep it civil despite them.

But the point was, The russian hacker forums are orders of magnitude better than anything offered in English, and virtually every single one has made no secret (other than you need to read Russian) that they were working hard all year to get Trump "elected". From spreading rumours, distributing any dirt they could elicit, to boots on the ground playing with the voting machines. There was even talk of cash incentives from George Soros and Peter Thiel.

WaPo and NYT undoubtably have journalists that both read Russian and Frequent such forums. But it will be a while before they get the courage to go public with just how much US infrastructure is now completely pwned by the Ruskies. RNC and DNC only made headlines because some of the haul got sent to wikileaks aka FVEY.

My personal opinion is "America" deserves it for all the effort they put into making systems insecure.

oh so now butter is bad again? WTF. Can't believe anything the nutritionists put out.
The issue with non-regulated dietary supplements may well be caused by the current state of regulation (this is strictly my own opinion/observation).

In the current state of things, we've grown accustomed to seeing warnings when the government thinks there is a potential danger with a particular FDA regulated drug. So perhaps the lack of warnings with supplements is giving people a false sense of security about the dietary supplements...ie, "if they were dangerous, surely there'd be a warning". If, as the parent comment suggests, the paradigm shifts so that the government's position is one of several factors to consider, perhaps then people would look at supplements with a greater degree of caution and suspicion. In other words, changing the paradigm may change people's behavior in terms of how they approach both drugs and supplements.
> The latest nutrition supports low carb diets, as can be seen with Atkins and Keto diets.

That statement is not supported by any reliable studies.

The latest nutrition supports a healthy mix of carbs and fats, specifically whole grain and unsaturated fats. Not a monodiet of fat, nor a monodiet of carbs, nor processed carbs, nor saturated fats.

Focusing too much on a fat-based diet causes massive kidney issues, just as a too much carb-based diet causes circulatory issues.
