The context is that many people pick up a shovel and do maximum effort despite living a sedentary life.

The alternative argument would be that this kind of exercise is simply bad for a person, especially a men over 50 - that it should be avoided even by those otherwise in "good shape".

And yet a third possibility is that this kind of exercise is that this sort of exercise merely moves forward the occurrence of a heart disease event that would have otherwise occurred reasonably soon otherwise.

Anyone know any studies puzzling these possibilities out.

My first thought as well.

Are they excluded for going public? Weren't they over a billion well before that?

Or did they not take outside money?
Apple seriously needs to allow us to have proper parental tools.

I can get tools on Android that allow me to limit app use, website access, and other things. The best I can do on Apple is take the phone away when the child shouldn't use it. I literally have two Apple phones (because I'm locked into the iMessage/Find my Friends ecosystem) - one with nothing but basic apps and locked down with Restrictions, and one which has all the games and stuff which he can play for a limited amount of time per day. Not fun.

Apple gives parent's vastly insufficient tools to monitor and manage their kids use of these devices.
it's much more likely in men because presumably more men than women shovel snow.

The article said that's a suspicion, but is not a conclusion:

The researchers say they suspect that shovelling caused heart attacks because men are more likely than women to shovel snow. That may be true, or it might be a sexist assumption. But there may be another explanation for the findings: that women shovel snow in a way that doesn't cause heart attacks.
It seems to be a double win for bare metal machines. They always have PCID and they're less at risk in the first place since they don't share the hardware.

Virtualbox seems to lack PCID too.
I agree. When I fly Qantas A380 to LAX and then their 747 on to JFK, the difference is striking. The engine noise and cabin pressure alone were painful and more uncomfortable on that 4.5 hour flight than my 13 hour flight on the A380.
> Prop 13 was a pretty good temporary measure.

No, it wasn't.

> Housing prices in California increased a crapload in the years before prop 13 was enacted. Real people with good jobs in modest houses they recently bought - not just granny in her 50 year old home - were in danger of being driven from their homes due to increases in property taxes.

It would be very easy to address that problem with a much smaller policy change than Prop 13. For one thing, the described problem doesn't justify any alteration to non-residential property taxes.
My money is going to the innovators and first movers, regardless.
I'm in the US, and I use Apple Pay everywhere that I can, which now feels like the majority of places I shop. Still, some major chains still refuse to support it; CVS comes to mind.
The right wing and egging him on did not help him. It probably contributed to him not realizing the mistake he has made.

Saw an interview with him and saying he needed to have his GF filter what he writes. I was thinking no that is not the issue. Instead do not share these things if they are in your head. Swear him saying that just made it worse. He clearly still does not get it.

No, it's not just lost faith. It's about as true as saying somebody that can't run a mile under 5 mins or bench press 300+ pounds just "lost their faith in running and bench pressing" and that's the only reason ever.

Some things are just hard for some people. Or impossible. Some of them can be improved with training and practice, but not instantly and with a lot of effort. Some will forever take much more effort than for other people and leave one exhausted. Some may be just plain impossible. Some may be possible, but people may decide, rightly or wrongly, that they are so hard that the effort is just not worth it.
But choice is good, right?
I'm not alarmed because this is what I expected and planned to happen. I've been interested in physiology and nutrition for a few years and the most credible sources I've read all say the same thing. If you eat above your calorific output, you'll gain weight. If you also lift heavy and eat protein, a decent proportion of that weight will be muscle. This is especially true if you haven't lifted weights for some time, which was true for me before last year.

Note, I just realised I actually gained about two or three kilos rather than six or seven, but I definitely gained a bunch. Also I'm below average height for my gender. My thigh and shoulder muscles have clearly filled out.

Perhaps there is some magical amount of cardio beyond which it's literally impossible to gain weight, but you'd probably have to be beyond a Michael Phelps level of training.

For what it's worth I had my blood tested recently and my glucose levels were fine, slightly below average. I appreciate your concern though.
As a community, I'm sure we eventually will. If you want to have a discussion, start one.
Not doing the Valsalva maneuver means that you break your spine. It works by using the compressed air inside your lungs as support so that your abdominal and back muscles can do their work.

This is the reason that when you go to a physiotherapist and they crack your spine they ask you to exhale before, in order to be able to work without needing to fight your internal pressure. There is a reason we evolved with the instinct to do it.

Edit: to also comment on your note about martial arts: the very short scream you do when throwing a punch or kick is precisely a way to induce a Valsalva maneuver. Notice that you don't scream until you're out of breath, but you exhale very fast and you stop precisely when you hit, forcing pressure inside you to give you the support to need during the transfer of forces of the blow.
My cousin died in his late 30s while attempting to pull-start a chain saw in very cold conditions. The explanation I heard was arteries and vessels constrict in extreme cold, and combined with exertion triggered the heart attack.
> The context is that many people pick up a shovel and do maximum effort despite living a sedentary life.

This. Shoveling after last week's storm was definitely the most concerted exercise I've had in a year or more. I definitely felt at one point that my heart was working way too hard (for whatever physiological reason; likely those outlined in the article) and forced myself to rest a few minutes, despite not being physically exhausted. And I'm neither overweight nor have high blood pressure.
I am okay with not making unsupportable claims and assumptions about humans but that isn't what is happening in tech. The reason given to explain the gender gap is sexism. Which is pretty close to unsupportable...
Your view on the world shapes how you perceive the world (yes I've learned that in the tautology club) and as your reality is only what perceive, your view on reality shapes how you see it.

Who, GoPro? They're just about synonymous with what I guess are called "action cameras" (small, rugged cameras used to record sports, often from the perspective of the athlete).
I think it is flawed at an even more fundamental level: what does “multi-partisan” mean, and how do you achieve it?

It seems like the term was used simply to mean “fair and not favoring any particular political agenda,” but that is a huge hand-wave. Who decides the members of this agency? If we had a good method to establish this fair agency, we could just use that method to establish the entire government.

This proposal just pushes the entire problem of governance back one step. I see this a lot in discussions about improving government: proposing some oversight committee to keep the government (which we all agree has flaws and biases) in check. Even the entire idea of checks and balances between branches of government is based on this concept, and is flawed for the same reasons (although that’s a bigger discussion). If you can make the oversight committee fair and efficient and effective, just do that for the whole government!
Who says it? I had more energy on keto, except for one day (around a week after starting) that felt terrible and was fixed by drinking water with salt and potassium. Keto diets don't recommend against a high saturated fat content, only some do because of the common misconception that it is bad. There are no studies showing bad effects of saturated fat by itself. It's the carbs what causes the problem, fat only makes it worse.

I think you overestimate the Russians grossly. They screwed up in countless wars since then against small nations. They couldn't take out Czeczenia. They failed in Afghanistan. Why should they succeed in Finland.

Russia is capable of dealing with long drawn out battles on home turf. They have not displayed that great ability to invade. To be real, neither has really the US either.

You can't underestimate an opponent fighting on home turf for their own independence against an opponent, where the soldiers don't really see the reason why they are invading in the first place.

Also remember for whatever tech or equipment the Russians have. They have really shitty democratic traditions. They don't let their men work independently. History has shown again and again that top heavy armies are ineffective.

It is how Israel beat 3x bigger Arab armies, even when the Arabs had better tech.
They do if they're paid spiffs on them.
Sexist or not, I rarely see women shoveling snow. My wife will on occasion (and even less so now that we live in Seattle), but it's almost always been me because, well, I'm better built for it.

But what I didn't hear mentioned is that women have a much lower risk for heart attacks until menopause. And I don't know that I've ever seen a 55 year old woman shoveling snow (again, anecdata). If you strapping young lads were raised right, you'd go down and do it for her since you already have the shovel out. :-)

More so, shoveling snow is amazingly hard work on a level that most people probably rarely experience. I'm a lifelong distance runner with a healthy heart (though weeny little runner arms), and shoveling sure gets my heart going. I can't imagine the strain on a 54 year old guy with a beer gut who spends most of his day sitting. That does sound like a recipe for a heart attack.
Environmental advocates I have spoken to are generally of the opinion that vertical building is better than sprawl and less number of cities are better than building in every nook and cranny of available space in the country. (of course we have to balance health, open space, happiness and other concerns)
Key takeaways:

> Researchers... looked at more than 128,000 patients admitted to hospital for a heart attack, and more than 68,000 heart attack deaths in Quebec between 1981 and 2014 from November to April. They also got weather information... and used it to track snowfall prior to the admission to hospital and/or death.

> Among the men, a third of the heart attacks occurred the day after a snowfall. The association between shovelling and heart attack was very strong. If the snow fell for two to three days, the association between shovelling and a heart attack was even stronger. The correlation was true regardless of the patient's age, the presence or absence of cardiovascular risk like high blood pressure or other health conditions.

> But here's the thing. The correlation was only true for men – not women. The researchers say they suspect that shovelling caused heart attacks because men are more likely than women to shovel snow. That may be true, or it might be a sexist assumption. But there may be another explanation for the findings: that women shovel snow in a way that doesn't cause heart attacks.

> Men age 50 and older with heart disease should avoid shovelling snow period.

Why is it sexist to assume that snow shoveling is mostly done by men? It sounds more plausible than secret shoveling techniques.

My point in mentioning this is that there are multiple lines of evidence suggesting that your risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes is highest during peak exercise, not that I think this would be particularly controversial.
> it’s even more depressing than we could have imagined.

I don't see it as depressing that they think this.

It's depressing that they could be right.

> “more than half (54%) of global auto executives say they believe these vehicles will fail commercially due to infrastructure challenges while 60 percent say excessive recharging times will do them in.”

Sounds like valid arguments.

> According to the survey, which polled nearly 1,000 executives (including 90 in the United States), more than three-quarters of executives think that fuel cell hydrogen vehicles will be the future.

So not depressing at all. They think the alternative fuel of the future will be different, but still off of fossil fuels. That sounds fine.

Your entire first post.

1) He doesnt "spend a lot of time railing on SJWs".

2) He absolutely talks, with almost every single guest, about how to potentially change the world for the better.

3) I never indicated that I thought he wasn't right wing because of how he felt about legal pot, yet, you throw that in there anyway, i guess to belittle an argument I never made? Fun...

So yeah, two sentences and every single point is either incorrect or not useful. That's not exactly how one starts a useful debate.

Actual dependency. Mac or Windows, QuickTime was the mechanism by which iTunes performed any playback at all whether audio or video. Anything that ran in QuickTime could theoretically also run in iTunes though if I recall correctly though, iTunes would still limit the file-types you could import into your library.

Even today, iTunes still depends on QuickTime, but given I haven't used Windows in almost ten years or seriously used iTunes in almost 8 years, I couldn't tell you whether that dependency is the old QuickTime 7 API or if Apple ported a subset of the newer QuickTime APIs over I also couldn't really tell you which they use on Macs* anymore either given I prefer to avoid launching iTunes whenever possible.

That said, iTunes up to about version 6 point whatever the last point update was, was genuinely a really great jukebox on Windows. It was easy to use, loaded fast, ran fast and I ran it nearly 24/7 on my old XP machine. iTunes 7 ruined all of that, and my first indication would have been when it took over an hour to complete the install process and the first run was dog slow.

* Apple did deprecate and remove QuickTime 7 from Mac OS X, that said, I wouldn't put it past them to maintain an API in maintenance mode exclusively for their own use, particularly when it comes to maintaining the many-heads of the beast that is iTunes.

The real tragedy here is that folks are living such sedentary lives that a simple activity like clearing snow from your sidewalk/driveway becomes lethal.

I was once a typical neckbeard programmer who drank way too much coke and red bull and lived off of unhealthy foods. I have a 180º different lifestyle now and will never go back. I enjoy shoveling my driveway.

Everyone should invest in their own physical fitness. Make time for it. Make it your lifestyle so it's not a chore or a second-thought, but a regular part of your routine. At the very least, do it for your mental health.
It's not really a wasteland, though. My wife moved here from New York to Kansas City, and her old friends act like there are cows walking down the street or something.

If you're willing to live with diversity of political affiliation (it's a pretty even mix of Democrat and Republican around here, and I've heard people on HN say they'd be absolutely unwilling to live somewhere like that), you can get a 2200 square foot house in a nice neighborhood for around 250,000. We have an airport, IKEA, two art museums, and all sorts of interesting exhibits to see and things to do year round. I plan on having at least four kids, if I went to work for Google to have a house the same size would cost something like $2,800,000? (from a quick Zillow search of somewhere like Sunnyvale if I wanted a similar commute) So 11x more expensive? It seems like madness to me.

I know a guy who lives here but works for a big company on the coast, and he lives in a mansion in one of the nicest neighborhoods around, and even the local mid level tech jobs easily pay 6 figures.

I mean, I guess the weather is nice, but other than that I don't really get it.
Ask HN: How did Google get its own TLD?
I've Googled (heh) this question and got lots of hits from news sites, but I'm amazed at how a private company managed to get a TLD. Was this just a matter of paying a huge amount of money?

Either way, the best thing to do for the younger gen is to spend time with them and teach them about this stuff so that they can make informed decisions as they grow up. I don't think my generation had the luxury of making an informed decision because it was all so new and the people in SV did not have the moral compass required to weild this new power benevolently.

Sounds like people already predisposed to a heart attack that are pushed over the edge by strenuous activity after long periods of no physical activity.
I'll believe it when I see it as far as playability, but if it works as well as they claim then this is really cool. I use a 12" macbook retina because it's super lightweight and tiny but obviously I can't do any real gaming on it. I'm not a big gamer so I can't justify buying even moderately expensive gaming hardware, but if this allows me to play on my existing hardware then it's worth paying for. Sounds like a Netflix for gaming model could be a huge business opportunity for casual gamers like me. I hope this lives up to the claims!
