Fighting styles are always geared to the situations people expect them to be in. MMA is a combat sport based on unarmed street fights and holding to the ideal of as quickly and effectively subduing an opponent. Fencing, for example, is not aimed at battlefield combat between feudal warriors wearing mail and carrying heavy weapons, but unarmored civilians engaged in honor duels to first blood.

Traditional Japanese martial arts frequently descend from Edo-period traditions re-organized in the Meiji era, and often focus on weapons training. Kendou for example, still focuses on heavily-armored warriors fighting with swords. I don't think that many people think this is preparation for a realistic contemporary combat situation so much as it is lived respect for tradition and knowledge. Traditional martial arts frequently have other goals, as with Morihei Ueshiba and aikido.

MMA tends to market itself as "real fighting", but it carries its own assumptions about the conditions of fighting. It would be as ridiculous to pit an MMA fighter against an armed and armored Japanese kendoist as against a WWII-era GI with a Tommy gun.

I built a sunrise alarm clock. It's just two ikea lamps, two lamp dimmer modules, and a SmartThings Hub. The lights start dimming-on at 6:37 every morning (30 minutes 0-100%). I do have my alarm on my phone set still, but I'm normally up before it goes off, it's more a reminder to get out of bed on slow days. This setup works great for me, I've had it going for about three years now, I'm, no longer shocked to awake-ness by an annoying alarm rather as I slowly wake up as I become more aware of the light in the room.

FD: I'm just about to start working for ST, but I've had this setup for years already.
As a native Chinese speaker, I just want to point out that this paragraph:

> An article by Xinhua, the state news agency, called Mr. Xu a “crazy guy,” saying that the fight had caused people to question whether Chinese martial arts were of any use and even to ask, “What exactly are traditional Chinese martial arts?”

Is a complete misinterpretation of the original sentence cited in the article:

> 综合格斗狂人徐晓冬和太极人士雷雷的视频引发了人们对中国武术的好奇和关注，中国武术到底是什么？有实战性吗？中国武术应该如何更好地推广普及？

1. "狂人" is literally "crazy guy", but mostly used as a compliment to say someone is extremely good, hardworking or dedicated in something, in this case M.M.A.

2 "What exactly are traditional Chinese martial arts?" is also taken out of context, it is used in the introduction paragraph to guide the readers to the detailed descriptions below, and has nothing to do with the existential crisis of martial arts whatsoever.

Global-Local View: Scalable Consistency for Concurrent Data Types
Arts and sports have constraints, MMA has none right ? I don't say it's easy, just that it's first in the coma loses.

In soccer you don't score a goal because you said so. In most martial arts you use dedicated forms and styles which impose constraints on how the match evolves. In Chess you have limited movements.. etc etc

MMA, for all intents and purposes, appears to be the rebirth of Pankration - one step up from gutter fighting, although it appears to be slowly losing that raw edge as time passes. It appears to be the inevitable bane of these martial arts that not long after they are divorced from the singular purpose of killing the enemy efficiently they decline into stylized play-acting and often, pseudo-philosophical woo. Besides, it has to appeal to the mothers of all those eight-year-olds, and teaching eye-gouges and groin-shots and all the other nasty tricks won't fly there...

That's always going to be tempting, and the only real tractable solution is for society to have a larger conversation on the ethics so the law can catch up with it.

Note that some ethical consensus is key---without it, companies can just price "Well, some customers think image recognition is creepy" into the risk model and do it anyway. Compare privacy concerns---people talk big about their concerns over privacy, but in practice, we're still in a world where a survey-taker can get very personal information from a random individual at a mall by offering a free candy bar. Until and unless people arrive at a common consensus that their personal information---including their face---has value or they have a proprietary right to that information, even in public, there's no real tractable solution to this problem.

... because there's no real agreement that there's a problem to solve.

This is second hand info, so I can't personally vouch. But I heard the scanners at gates with multiple jetways (for example 35 A and B) have software that is set up to accept tickets for both flights. Not sure why you would board both flights concurrently, but may that was a desired feature.

There is also likely a human error component. When you make someone manually scan 150 people they stop paying attention. They should have some kind of error message, but if it looks like other error messages (like the ask about emergency exit message), it's possible the human confused the error and cleared it.
So when might I prefer this over YAML or TOML?
another little detail, too. Is that MMA is built on top of what the old stuff discovered, and so, obviously it ends up with a much shorter road to travel to improve and etc..

The GA industry is running up against the same problems. Go to your local flight school and 99% of the time you'll just see a row of 1970s Cessnas/Pipers. Recently there has been some push back against the FAA's certification programs due to the fact that MEMS systems are inherently more reliable instruments than gyroscopes powered by engine driven vacuum pumps. This resulted in some legislative changes and now you can (IIRC) replace many gages in old aircraft with newer electronic variants and not need a Supplementary Type Certificate (basically like getting your car re-titled to replace the tape deck with a CD player).

tl;dr: It's basically become apparent that too much safety is killing people.

I think the problem is that china is lagging behind the whole "modernized, scientific fight training is way better than romanticize traditional fighting technique" thing and the KungFu novel just increased the myth. Which leads to that certain percentage of people joining the club/learning martial art because they thought they can be real strong after training. One can image that it may cause this industrial collapse if they admitted "this is nothing more than your typical jogging/yoga/whatever sport" publicly.

Agree. Govt regulations can become a a major road block. As much good these regulations provide for the safety of consumers, they sure can prove out to be a hurdle for innovation when ill enforced. For example, I have heard from friends doing compliance testing with FTC for new hardware and how govt appointed contractors or their own employees literally go through thick books to make sure EVERYTHING checks out. Rules and regulations are good. But they can also be implemented smartly. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to work with FAA. For example, having a person on the floor doing manual stress testing on the airframe can be cumbersome and time consuming. Maybe some sort of automated solution involving a robot can expedite things, at least for the comprehensive initial check. Then bring in a manual person to do sanity check.
Just a minor point but uappexplorer is a community maintained site which uses the snap store API to present apps in the store. It's open source, hosted on github and I'm sure they'd welcome contributors to help improve the look and feel. https://github.com/bhdouglass/uappexplorer

There's a few other ways to view the snaps in the store though. On the Ubuntu desktop there is snap support in Ubuntu Software, and if you "snap install snapweb" you'll get a pretty web portal on port 4200 on the local machine. This can also be installed on remote machines so you can manage the snaps installed there too.
I always turn my phone off before going through customs. This temporarily disables fingerprint unlocking and requires my password instead. My understanding is that it is legally possible to compel you to unlock your phone with a fingerprint, but not possible to compel you to provide your password.

If they threaten to seize my phone, I'll let them. I have plenty of spares and can afford a new one if it comes down to it.

Of course, many people don't have the means to make this a practical approach.

'inf' and 'nan' should work fine.
If I understand your suggestion correctly, you would like ieee floating point inf, -inf, and nan to be representable as tokens as though they are numbers. It makes sense as that's how ieee floats do it. But in JSON they aren't numbers, so they aren't represented as numbers.

From the spec:

"""
JSON is agnostic about numbers. In any programming language, there can be a variety of number types of
various capacities and complements, fixed or floating, binary or decimal. That can make interchange between
different programming languages difficult. JSON instead offers only the representation of numbers that
humans use: a sequence of digits. All programming languages know how to make sense of digit sequences
even if they disagree on internal representations. That is enough to allow interchange.

It's likely traditional retail that falls by the wayside is going to make room for more competitive retail that leverages this information to its advantage in a way ecommerce sites can't.

Consider Amazon Go (https://www.theverge.com/2016/12/5/13842592/amazon-go-new-ca... setting up an account with a store, users enter, grab what they want, and leave. The system of cameras and biometric trackers observing the store figures out after-the-fact what you grabbed and charges it automatically to your account through a sensor fusion including face recognition. That's a level of convenience rivaling ecommerce for things people want to grab by hand (often produce and small items, for example), and it's completely enabled by this category of technology.

Why You Should Learn to Say ‘No’ More Often

" People have spent the last 20 years trying to say MMA is a blood sport."

Because it is. In MMA when you are bleeding, the fight pretty much continues. In nearly every other organized form of martial art, blood stops the match. If you can't stop bleeding, you forfeit. This has been seen as a good idea in terms of sanitation and infection since the original Olympics in Athens. MMA is a lot of things, and uses the techniques from a lot of martial arts; if you like it, that's your call, no judgement. But MMA itself is not a martial art, its human cock fighting, it is a blood sport.

This is the tip of a very large, complicated subject. Start by reading https://www.nononsenseselfdefense.com/four_focuses.html. Here we have two different ends conflicting. MMA is a sport, along with boxing, K5 and sansho and judo. Many of the Chinese stylists today are carrying on a cultural or demonstration tradition.

From that point of view, a martial arts instructor can be very competent at his job while not producing effective sport fighters. For example, many kids karate schools are very effective daycares. A seniors tai qi club may be an excellent way to get people moving and prevent injuries from falling. An MMA gym is a great place for young men to work through their testosterone driven haze. Why can't a martial arts school be treated like a Go studio or a chess club?

And if you depart from fitness for purpose, then you have problems. SEAL sentry removal techniques taught at an MMA gym or a kids karate school would be a disaster. A sport fighter teaching MMA at a seniors tai qi club is going to find a very uninterested audience. It goes the other way, too. A sport fighter training police is a problem because he is probably unaware of the laws governing use of force.

So what Xu has done is the equivalent of a kid from the boxing club going and beating up the chess club.
Germany is an outlier; their history with the Nazis makes the country unusually conservative about anything that could be abused for mass-surveillance purposes.

Not that this is a bad thing---being able to think differently like this is one of the positives of having countries!---but relative to the rest of the world, what Germany considers "surveillance" is unusual and sometimes surprising.

I won't wade into the "MMA better than TMA" argument, but I do want to deconstruct why the Tai Chi Practitioner (TCP) lost that fight.

You'll notice when they first engage, the TCP does a pretty good job blocking the incoming strikes. He doesn't appear to get hit right-out and, as expected with Tai Chi, yields to the attack (backing up). The problem is the attacker doesn't let up, a concept called 'Holding down the pillow'.

I think the reason he didn't handle that MMA style of charging attack is because (in my experience) Tai Chi isn't taught that way. Applications are taught as part of a 1/2/3 strike combination, then resetting. Rare is the case where you defend against 3+ attacks. There's a number of reasons for this, but suffice to say its something that probably should be incorporated into their training.

As a final note, the problem of 'McDojos' has long been known. But I would say there's an equal problem of MMA schools where it's more about dominating new students than teaching. Martial arts is really quite hard, and some people want to learn how to look cool/graceful/powerful than actually learn how to defend oneself.
