Keep in mind that there is a significant enough portion of the population who are overweight, get absolutely no exercise, eat mostly take-out and junk food, drink too much, and/or smoke cigarettes.

You don't need a study to spell out the result. You don't need scientific evidence to compare an individual with a healthy lifestyle vs. someone who matches the criteria above. It's not about what "makes you feel good", it's about what is plainly obvious when you put two people with different lifestyles side-by-side.

You only run into anecdotal micro-analysis bullshit if you're trying to compare two people who are identical in every category above, where the only difference is 30 mins of exercise a day vs. 3 hours.

I'm excited for Rust to improve. I keep wanting to use it, but I don't have any projects that need to be faster than I can make them with Go (and frequently with less effort than the naive Rust impl). If Rust's ergonomics improve enough (tooling, std lib, and core language), I might be able to justify it. Fingers crossed!
>Don't you believe that equality of opportunity would lead to equality of outcome (plus or minus random variation)?

Why should it? This reflects a very strong a priori position that people are exactly the same and don't systematically vary in their interests, cultural values, etc.

Where's the positive evidence for this (latent, implicit) positive claim?
I can not provide parallel examples but I disagree with your premise that you are obligated to stay right to enable others to break the law. Even if you are the only car on the road you still must drive in the right lane unless passing.

The law says to stay right regardless of speed so there is no corner case based on traffic moving at the legal speed limit. Your obligation to stay right exists at all speeds.

The purpose of the law is to improve safety by enabling smooth traffic flow and creating a predictable environment on the road. This is the parallel with "yield to the right". Communication between drivers is difficult so we have a set of rules to guide us in situations where the next action may otherwise be unclear.

If two people meet in a hallway they can look at each other and say "excuse me" or "go ahead". This is not possible on the road. In the same way I can walk up behind someone on the sidewalk and say "excuse me" and walk around them. In a car this is not possible so we agree in advance (or rather, we are told by the authorities) what to do to avoid the situation and how to reconcile it.

In some jurisdictions the purpose of the left lane is explicitly passing, you have no right to drive there unless you are passing someone else. In this case your obligation to stay right has nothing to do with the existence of a speeder or even your rate of speed.

I am not defending speeding because it does increase risk and reduce safety on the road but it becomes much more dangerous when other drivers are also not following the rules. Breaking the speed limit while someone else violates the lane occupancy laws creates a compounding risk for everyone on the road. This is why we have rules against both.

I would turn your request for parallel examples around and ask you for examples of a situation where it is ok to break the law to prevent someone else from doing the same. How do you justify such an action and is there a calculation as to how far to go? Is it ok to jaywalk to stop a robbery? Is it ok to murder someone to prevent jaywalking? When is vigilantism justified?

Need help with marketing our app
Hi,
a few days ago, we launched our newest Android app, weather wiz.

Just one day after launch, we were featured on AndroidAuthority.com and 2 days after that, we were on AndroidPolice.com and PhoneArena.com (All three are among the best).

So we did great at the launch, we are getting lots of new users and everything is going fine, for now!

What do you suggest for the next step? how can we maintain our ranking and what else can we do? (except buying ads)

here is our app:

I don't think I'm facing a backlash, one person is upset - that same person also claimed that his race deserves to be dominant because it's genetically superior, so I've given up as there's no arguing with that depth of bigotry.

You're missing valuable context in that comment, you can't own the hard work of your ancestors without owning their atrocities either, it might not have been your direct ancestors but it is the history of your society. You either forget that history or own all of it.

This design looks really old-school and amateurish, like it should be a blinking marquee on Mozilla's first Geocities page.

Agree. But my point is that people adapt and learn. They assumed PageRank was still ruling and could be somewhat trusted, and now they're learning -a little late- that FB's popular randomnewssite.biz should be challenged.

Maybe something new will happen at the next election, but it will be harder to convince people with this type of fake news.
I hate to be too cynical but I recall people saying similar things about the Wii when it first came out. While Wii can give you a work out, I don't think it ever really caught on.
To me it looks like obfuscation through technical jargon overload. The intended audience were prospective investors who have no real understanding of medical testing market. The pitch deck seems calibrated to dazzle the uninitiated in a very unassuming way.
You're absolutely right: the basic outline is not a difficult problem.

The "difficult problem" I was referring to is taking a sample population and drawing conclusions about how much sitting is OK, what kind of exercise is OK, and whether the above are casually related to factors we otherwise describe as "aging."

For a substantial segment of the population, sitting all day, even with 30 minutes of intense exercise somewhere in the middle, probably does contribute to unfavorable health outcomes.

For others, that might not be so.

For many people, there may be underlying causes of both unhealthy habits and unfavorable health outcomes.

> If anything, I'd argue that they are creating a boogey man.

The concept itself perpetuates the boogey man.

We see these lawsuits and each one subconsciously implies, "Yep, racism is still a big problem in the industry. Here's another big company being sued for it. It's a good thing we have the Dept of Labor watching out for stuff like this. Who knows what these companies would be getting away with without it."

But it's the lawsuit itself that makes you think that, regardless of how much actual racism in the industry plays into it. It's self-perpetuating.
I believe that people who don't need to work for income will generally be happier if they keep using their bodies, keep interacting in person with other humans, keep some mix of routine and variety in their lives. (But the means to those ends don't need to resemble activities we used to have to pay people to do.) I think that it's a good idea to offer guidance to people who don't need to work but can't figure out what they really want to do with all their free time. I think that it's a bad idea to plan pseudowork employment for people who haven't yet requested any make-believe jobs to go to.

If all productive labor can be done better by machines, then making soap with your own human labor is just as much a game as playing paintball is. It doesn't really matter that one of those activities provided income for large numbers of people, historically, and the other did not. Not everyone needs a job-like activity assigned by others to avoid becoming a Wall-E blob of boredom. (Just as there are a lot of options for young adults with trust funds in between the extremes of "get hired for a job like other 22 year olds" and "suffer endless ennui.") Possessing material security without trading waged labor for it is "dystopian" the way that being a child in the summertime is dystopian. (And yes, some children are going to whine "I'm bored!" until someone gives them chores to do, but don't start planning needless chores for the children who aren't even bored...)
I spent <5 minutes on it. I'd guess that you're not US educated (or at least not a native US English speaker).

The "tell" that I'm primarily relying upon is that you often drop articles where a US-native speaker would use them. Just one example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13197570 (that was as far back as I went) I think most native US speakers would use "the gun industry" and "the film industry". Several later comments drop an "an" or "a" article as well.

You also have a habit of using a comma splice rather than a semi-colon to join sentences, but that one is harder to place geographically, as it's a somewhat common trait within the US as well. In my experience, it is often a trait of European native speakers who learned English as a second language, but is less reliable than dropped articles.
They run something called Java Card, which is a very limited subset of Java (missing things like threads, enums or floating point numbers). And they are highly standardized, so you can be sure it is not just available and supported, but optimized for running these applets.

That doesn't really say anything about viability for an open-source project that's supposed to run on all kinds of embedded and general-purpose hardware.

(too late to edit) hmm, no, that video talks about how they did the twitch chatroom thing. As I interpret it, they did that by tricking the snes to re-poll the buttons faster than it would normally do, and they said they could achieve every couple ms (instead of once per frame), which is wildly below what the streaming video demo needed.

The video is awesome though, thanks for the link! Now ya've got me queueing up tons of defcon videos....
Have you considered trying out activities that you might enjoy for themselves, rather than mainly for "exercise" or because you "should", and try to optimize for enjoyment (not for exercise). Especially, gentle exercise can be a lot more pleasant.

e.g. many thinkers enjoy thinking on slow walks, especially through a park, countryside or bush/woods.
In the full complaint [1] the DoL mentions this.

"Moreover, comparisons between available applicants from national labor data and Oracle's hires show gross and statistically significant disparities in the hiring of Asians versus non-Asians into PT1 and Product Development positions at Oracle Redwood Shores. These comparisons are particularly relevant because Oracle's applicant pool was heavily over-represented by Asian applicants as the result of Oracle's recruiting and hiring practices (including its over-selection of Asian applicants, particularly Asian Indians, from its actual applicant pool, its hiring strategies such as targeted recruitment, and referral bonuses that encouraged its heavily Asian workforce to recruit other Asians, and its reputation for favoring Asians).

I quote him intentionally because litigating restraint on free speech (as you're doing here) was delicate enough to make him evolve his opinion. Those cases were over much more serious circumstances than reputation, too. I suggest reading more about it, because you'll get more out of it than I could offer.

My theory is that the mobile version of reddit has gradually evolved into slow, buggy nagware because it's designed to push you to install their app on your phone, ala facebook removing features from their own mobile site. I've never used a site that forgets I'm logged in so often or still throws error codes if you try to upvote or post a comment while logged out. I would buy a year of reddit gold if it allowed me to permanently disable the mobile site, but for now I've pretty much just ditched the site entirely when I'm not at a desktop.

I suggest you do your own research. Download John Podesta's emails from WikiLeaks and look through them, and search for the words "pizza", "pasta", and "cheese". The legitimacy I see is that the words "pizza", "pasta", and "cheese" in those emails were absolutely being used as codewords.

What those codewords actually meant to their authors could still be up for debate (depending on your level of skepticism), but they make absolutely no sense as non-codewords in the excerpt, "Do you think I'll do better playing dominos on cheese than on pasta."

The word "pizza" in those emails was being used as a codeword for something. That was enough legitimacy for me.

[Edit: Just re-read your question, and you seem to be searching for an "un-biased" and "credible expert" to weigh in. In this case/investigation, I don't believe such an appeal to authority will work (because the authorities, such as we have in this country, are complicit). You have to become your own expert.]

> If we actually had equality of opportunity, it doesn't seem like we'd see the kind of disparity we do.

There are pieces of the system that don't have equality of opportunity. People aren't born with the same amount of money or into the same social circles. There are actual racists in the world doing actually racist things. Different role models. Different cultures. Everyone already knows this.

You have to fix the causes, not the outcome. Mitigate poverty with a universal basic income. Punish overt racism. Change the culture so that black children want to be coders instead of basketball players.

You can't fix it at the end. Not only does it not work, because every qualified woman or minority that Oracle hires is just one less working for Apple or Microsoft and vice versa, it also isn't justice.

Because the ones who would get the coding jobs aren't the disadvantaged ones. The consequence of inequality manifests as working on the janitorial staff. You can't help those people by making a coder out of some already college-educated person who would otherwise have been a physicist or nurse or tax auditor. And not all of the people who are stuck cleaning toilets because society has been unfair to them are women or minorities.
Th difference that I see between the two is that the Wii offers an extremely limited number of physical activity variations, whereas VR is effectively open-ended, especially when room-scale setups are considered. Paired with adaptive gameplay and on-body monitors, its orders of magnitudes more useful.

Time will tell, but I don't see this as being the same type of misguided hype.
That accurately describes the Commodore 64 scene. Games, demos, disk speeders, and copy protection particularly abused the hardware. Many games couldn't run without hardware glitches from the video chip, and undefined CPU opcodes which end up executing some weird fusion of otherwise normal instructions were often exploited to save a few necessary cycles here or there.
This seems like a common enough complaint. I don't think there's a conspiracy theory against Rust. :)
>While it's possible that discriminatory processes have happened at all these places, it seems these lawsuits can be targeted at whoever one wishes.

That's no accident.
I am Indian. (I used to work for Oracle). If I were to hire, given everything else is equal , I would prefer an Indian to a non-Indian. You can attribute it to cultural bias, or whatever.

But hardly 'everything else' is equal. I hire people who can get 'shi* done' , and who are easy to be managed. Period. And I assume most of the managers would do so. So if Indians are easy to be managed, and are getting hired, it is not racism. Because, they were getting hired for the easiness of managing them, and not for the Nationality.

The issue of white males getting paid more is certainly racist. But the sad part is one cannot verify it, because one cannot isolate the 'merit' part of the salary , from the part attributed to the 'race'

(By the way, I never hired anyone while working at Oracle.)

A lot of natural processes produce results that are normally distributed. So given a large sample, a continuous value range, no bounds (or far away bounds) and a lack of obvious skew the intuition "half the population is below average" has a good chance to be (approximately) true.

Of course IQ is a made up thing that we just defined to behave that way.
