I think I took the metaphor more to heart than others. I like to think of myself as a good storyteller. I can explain pretty in depth computer science topics to my business team who lack technical knowledge pretty well through stories. My problem seems to be translating this to software structures.

I wish I could be as good of a "writer" in my software, but I am always looking to others for the best practices. In this case, I am always in a constant state of doubt and "writers block", I need to figure out how to unleash my own creativity.

Do you have any sources for the 5%?

More often than not, the cause of the weight gain is because they fall back to bad eating habits. If you can lose it, you can keep it off. Changing to long-term good habits is extremely difficult though.
The point is that the bad reasons disproportionately affect their decision of which cases to pursue.
I discovered /r/bwf six months ago. I love it. Doing the recommended routine (RR). I am 49 and 1.72m; Went from 75kg to 76kg. Which means that I lost some fat and gained some muscle. It is very entertaining to figure out what is the next progression. I look better but not great. But I feel great.
This whole thing strikes me as sad. The argument could have gone an entirely different way.

Taleb blasts the nature and tone of the argument, concluding "scholarship is dead in the UK,"(https://medium.com/incerto/something-is-broken-in-the-uk-int...) but the irony is that if it's ending, it's ending in part because of behavior such as his.

I actually agree in general with his perspective on the cartoon, but found his behavior unacceptable. The other side of the argument isn't unreasonable, even if you conclude it's maybe not the best side of the argument.

In some ways it doesn't matter, but I'm getting tired of the right setting up this dynamic where they engage in ad hominem bullshit, and then act offended when other side responds. I say this as someone who often identifies with the right--it's alienating and pushes reasonable people away. Rather than apologizing about not being respectful of Professor Beard, he becomes defensive and somehow tries to rationalize it.

Next time Taleb, could you please just take the high road in your behavior? Even if the other side is totally full of shit, and acting inappropriately, you'll look better and everyone will win by being the better one. I even agree with you and you've turned me off of your own damn arguments.

Jeez.
Let me start by saying that what you are saying probably should be the way it plays out in this case. Everyone seems to have made money. I was just stating how it actually plays out in the vast majority of federal cases, and will likely play out here.

In this case, because of the amount involved, the guidelines will call for a substantial prison sentence (well over 5 years). There is actually a loss table (again, we're talking about the "intended loss") that determines a certain number of points for the loss [1] (plus 7 points for the "base offense level"), and that number of points is then used with the sentencing table [2] to determine the sentence. The judge is of course free to depart up or down from the guideline sentence, but the sentencing range determined by those tables will be the starting point. The odds that he will receive no prison time at all after having gone to trial and lost are effectively zero. The judge will likely cut him some kind of break because nobody actually lost anything - his lawyers will argue that he showed remorse after the fact by eventually making his victims whole - but that will have a minor effect at best. My best guess, having watched many of these things play out, is 4-6 years.

> A number of people have pointed out that would be taking the extremely ridiculously long game for an alibi - why would the author ask for a copy of his own code?

If I was greedy and in the security field, with identities (or middlemen) on both sides of the game, I would be terribly tempted to play those identities to support each other. For example when blackhat-me would be selling an exploit, whitehat-me could create buzz by talking about it. Later, when the exploit's market value drops towards zero (ip enforcement is weak on the darknet), whitehat-me could reap the glory of discovering all the details about the exploit, maybe even using some "mistakes" blackhat-me left in the code to facilitate plausible parallel construction.

What are all those ifs having to do with the WannaCry situation? Probably nothing, hopefully nothing. Or maybe hopefully a lot, because it would mean that the FBI did not lock up the wrong guy?

Sure they can be. Rust just isn't able to compete in some areas where Go is objectively easier and better, but they're areas which can be fixed with improved documentation, training, and libraries.

YMMV, but I think people just want something fast, productive, and safe by default. Normally you had to pick just two, but Go gives you 2.5 (Not as safe as it "could be") and Rust only gives you 2 right now (Not as productive, libraries too immature), but it is on it's way to giving all 3 as soon as libraries gain maturity.
Hah, I'd no idea about this revolution, I'll also have to take a look! While rowing's tedious, I find it much less so than eg treadmill, and calories per hour makes it pretty efficient.

Funnily enough though, concept2 have just released an entirely new machine, the BikeErg, which as the name implies, is a mix of bike and rowing machine.

Only downside of rowing is that there are a ridiculous number of ways to do it wrong and seriously ruin parts of your body. Nowadays you can do well with YouTube and a mirror / reflective window or iPhone-with-advance-permission in the gym.
Sorry, but your comment makes no sense. Those features are needed for some popular languages to work well in WASM. They aren't implemented yet.

Yes, you can hack around and push an entire runtime now. There's a reason nobody is doing that. It isn't practical, performant, or a good experience.

Here's Brendan Eich's quote on the matter:

"Certainly GCC or similar could generate wasm, but I think to get to the dynamic languages, like I mentioned Dart, or Ruby, or Python, even JavaScript — that’s gonna require some extensions that I mentioned earlier, like: garbage collection hooks, JIT support, things like that. Otherwise they just won’t be competitive."

Elixir looks really interesting as well. I just hope it leaves some Rubyists behind for Crystal. The reason I prefer Crystal is that I really like Ruby, and Elixir is a much different language.

> A panel of judges with specialised experience often makes a lot more sense than a jury.

This would make sense in a country where trust in authorities is high, and people generally believe that the judges and the justice system is impartial and fair, without too much personal and hidden agendas.

But in a country where the trust in the system is lower, a jury of peers provides a safety mechanism so that the justice system cannot diverge too far from the point of view of the "common man".
Look at the first image (beforeafter.jpg), photo on the right (Dec 2016). The corner of the door is over his right shoulder. If you go straight down, it should come out behind him somewhere around the break between his first and second fingers. But it doesn't. The door sticks out below his 3rd finger. If you look below that, the break in the carpet doesn't line up either.

He probably photoshopped his abdomen to make himself appear skinnier, which is a shame. He's made incredible progress, and dishonesty only detracts from the hard work he's obviously put in.
Many solid advices here, but I still have doubts about the real-life UX of switching to emailed links instead of using passwords. It's quite popular for some time now, and security wise it makes a lot of sense, but:

For one, that means that each time I wish to login (or switch between accounts) I need to fill my email and then go to another tab or to mail app, and wait for the email. It's not that uncommon to take a while for an email to be delivered. Requirement to stare for 3-5 (or more?) minutes into a screen of my mail client and obsessively click on refresh button is less than ideal, and would just get more and more annoying the longer one uses the app. And even if email arrives immediately, it's still more steps and time then having my password manager auto-fill the form and log me in.

Also a (minor) annoyance with this is that clicking on the link in email will open a new tab/window in the default browser, not reuse the one where I started the login process.

And then you have a full bag of all the usual problems with users not getting emails for various reasons, from being marked as spam, to simply moved to Updates tab in gmail, where you can bet that half of your ordinary users will not be able to find them. That will generate your support team some steady flow of extra work, you can bet on that.

From my personal experience, each time in some app we were forcing users to confirm their email address upon registration (non-tech founders often insist on this for some reason) we'd see between 40% to even 70% drop. People would register and then never come back because they just didn't care enough to look for our confirmation email. You can try to manually follow up with email in a few days, to offer assistance, but most of them will never reply.

By using this approach, you're forcing users into switching their mental context and attention between your app and all the other emails arriving to their inbox, all the notifications on social media, all the other distractions around us. And you can bet that they care much more about any of that than about trying out your app.

I don't focus on the whole HPA axis much, and in general the "adrenal fatigue" phrase doesn't have a great reputation among most of my colleagues. I hesitate to write it all off though.

From my diabetes work, its clear that corticosteroids definitely have a strong role in the development of metabolic syndrome, but I'm not sure about its ties to hypothalamic functioning. In the hypothalamus, the effects can be a lot more direct. Eventually its decision-making feed into the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous systems which directly regulate metabolism and fat release in peripheral tissues. IE, your fat and muscle cells take direct neural firings from the autonomic nervous system as marching orders of whether or not its time to store energy or burn it.

So if the central neurons in the hypothalamus adjust to promote a higher setpoint body weight, that central point in control will direct weight gain via many downstream factors, some of which may be hormonal. Right now a central focus in research is figuring out why the hell the hypothalamus is driving the setpoint higher and higher. It seems like inflammation there might be a strong culprit.

Hopefully someday we will figure out what about our mass produced consumables are gumming up the works there.

The press still publishes the information and the government generally doesn't get to censor it.

The government is free to try and stop leaks. That's not the same thing as censorship.

That doesn't mean we should normalize it.
This link explains how the lock worked and discusses picking techniques, though not Hobbs' methods specifically. I vaguely remember reading that his equipment included a device to apply a small torque to the cylinder, via a lever arm with a short pendulum on its end. Any movement of the cylinder as a slot aligned with the shear line ring was revealed by the swinging of the pendulum.

The use of shallow decoy slots indicate that Bramah had anticipated this form of attack, but they only served to delay the solution.

It's a response to you saying "… and yet don't at all give a good reason for why they're used in the first place?".

> It seems to me that the screws don't really help to protect against customers at all.

I really don't get what you're trying to argue here. Yes, people can get around it. That doesn't mean it does nothing. It's a deterrent.

> Which is the original point of contention - by designing devices which are not intended to be repaired at home, Apple takes away from the rights of its customers, with the added benefit of lining its own pockets with repair fees and replacements.

Are you kidding? Or do you really believe that Apple is making money off repairs?

Repairing devices is not a profit center for Apple. I'm sure they try to also make it not a cost center, but Apple is not maliciously forcing people to get repairs through them out of a desire for money. To Apple, the ideal device is one that never needs repairs.

Hell, Apple is literally famous for giving out free out-of-warrantee repairs to people. How does that match up with your claim that they're trying to line their pockets?

> if you're trying to defend on principle the idea that Apple isn't deliberately trying to hamper home repair.

What? No, of course Apple is deliberately trying to hamper home repair. I don't see how you could have read my comments and got the idea that Apple wasn't trying to do that. In fact, my central point about the screws is Apple's trying to deter people from repairing devices at home. They're not making it impossible (in fact, they're not even making it particularly hard), but they are definitely trying to encourage people not to attempt home repair.

> If they are, then there's no point continuing the original discussion - Apple's difficulty of repair doesn't come from its great design, but because they are made to be unrepairable, and Apple is guilty of all the shameful practises they're being accused of in the first place.

This is complete bullshit. Apple does not design their devices to be unrepairable. They just don't design them to be repairable. Unfortunately, designing devices to be small, not waste any space whatsoever, and get the best battery life and performance possible, also has a tendency to make the device hard to repair, because components are placed in such a way as to maximize the aforementioned goals rather than to be accessible for repair. This also leads to things like soldering components so you can avoid mounting brackets (and this probably also makes repair less likely, because the soldered component won't come unseated), which is a far bigger issue for repairability than the damn screws you're obsessed with.

A compiled language uses a compiler to create a executable binary as opposed to a runtime that interprets or just-in-time compiles the language as it runs. Ruby is interpreted, C is compiled. Generally speaking, compiled languages are more performant but lack some of the flexibility of having a runtime available.

Crystal sacrifices some of Ruby's metaprogramming capabilities for performance and static type assurances.

I would say a incompetent PM wouldn't be able to make their own deadlines but to only comply deadline set by their superior who of course has no intention or knowledge on how the system actually works and the time it takes to accomplish them. A good PM would be able to fight back and make a much better deadline that both engineer, sales, marketing, design and business all would be happy about. In my mind, a great PM pushes tech to meet new business goals and pull business to be aware of technical pitfalls. A great PM is in control of all sides of the project and able to pull them together without being expert in any of the fields.
The problem with that is that it would have to be completely decoupled from your phone since Project Fi only supports the Pixel and Apple Watch only supports iOS.
