> Legs are stronger than your back. So a good load for the legs will probably be too much for the back.

Well, yes and no. In unnatural movements like the hip belt “squat” where you have no range of motion and have almost created an isolation movement, sure. In more natural movements like a lunge or squat, where the muscles must work together and you use reasonable range of motion, not necessarily true. It’s more commonly the legs that fail in a squat.

You do realize that the glutes and hamstrings are part of the legs, right? They execute the hip hinge that makes bending at the hips possible. When you take the back out of a squat, you largely remove these as well.

> Also there is only a limited amount of repeated compression that the vertebral discs can handle.

This is a definite “citation needed” sort of claim. The spine produces synovial fluid and heals like the rest of the joints.

Obviously there are limits to how much it can heal, but that applies to every joint and consistently studies indicate better joint health among strength training individuals. A few dozen squats a week is definitely not the maximum the spine can handle.

My wife has been watching Village Food Factory on youtube for a while now (The old Indian man with 6 fingers on one hand). You can see where the youtube revenue has increased the quality of life for the content creator. They now have enough money to regularly feed the local villagers.
That's interesting. I just heard about a guy who is in the returns auction business where he'll take all your returns and then get rid of them without you ever having to get involved, then you get a cut after he sells the product.
I was doing consulting work in the space, saw a need, and built the product. I came into it knowing the traits of farmer, the lingo, etc. That and a good product have helped us gain trust
Maybe. It’s really too early to say. Even assuming the mechanism described here is correct, there’s a difference between mice and humans, and there’s a difference between merely being stressed and a systemic stress response that would affect the sperm production (which, by the way, doesn’t occur just during sex but before).

And, finally, the effect on the offspring is completely unclear. One of the effects, which was reported here, is that offspring is less stressed (why? how? we don’t know; that’s a major missing puzzle piece). But systemic stress has quite a few, and partially drastic, effects — increasing expression of a particular microRNA is just one of many consequences. It also generally negatively affects semen quality (e.g. [1]), which doesn’t fare well for procreation.

And even just that particular microRNA in question, MiR-206, is tentatively implicated in multiple disease predispositions. You might make your children slightly less stressed. Or you might make it slightly more (or less) likely for them to acquire muscular dystrophy or schizophrenia.

Here's a recent talk by Pieter - https://youtu.be/6reLWfFNer0

I think it's really good. Probably the best startup talk I've seen in a while.

In my opinion, there are benefits to doing things alone, but you have to be able to learn a lot of things quick, have a lot of available time with few distractions, and be very focused and persistent.

Cons: it's not as fun, and will probably take longer than working with people with specific talents.

But the idea that you have absolute risk/gains from just genetics is a little unreasonable in the world of health rather than disease. For example you might have a predisposition for being incredibly stubborn and single minded (a mental trait) and utterly overcome any slightly weak cards nature dealt you for your physique. I think almost everyone can relate to that concept. We all put effort into our weaknesses most of the time, and then become highly proficient almost in what we are worst at innately! If you were told somehow your IQ is genetically average... so? IQ is a sliding scale constantly normalised as time goes on. Average IQ now is relatively much higher than a hundred years ago. The same is true with sporting achievement we have seen linear improvement in almost every sport since records started. At some point we will reach the limitation of sports science and brush up against genetic hard realities about physical muscle or oxygen transport. But not yet, and not for most people wishing to become fit and healthy. It's a genuine mix of genetics and what you are doing with your life, not some block thats genetic and then lifestyle both influence each other. You can live your life slightly abnormally to maximise your genetics. That function is very complex and personal. To talk of average risk change with genetics is almost to completely go against the whole point of the technology!

> better customer experience with AWS than Azure or GCE

Yeah, they're all awful. A comparison might show one is better than another, but it's all a wash when you look at actually good customer service.

A good host has a phone number, you ring it, somebody answers and then they fix your problem, without pinging you around a call centre. You're in and out within 20 minutes.

For AWS (and their class) you submit a ticket and in 4-48 hours, you twiddle your thumbs while the cheapest labour available to Amazon wakes up on the other side of the planet to investigate your problem (also known as walking you through a script).

AWS-sized hosts have advantages but I put a lot of weight in scaling things back to the RackSpace, Linode and Hetzner size operations. They put so much more effort into their human interaction.
Your example of a nursing home is a good one. Other critical areas include equipment that fails when temps get out of spec and this can be expensive. MR imaging units, labs, server rooms etc.
Are you seriously comparing freedom of speech in France and China?
Proactive. You're not having those serendipitous water cooler conversations, so you need to go out of your way to be proactive and think about what work should be done in the future, what issues may arise, and make decisions based on those projections.

This can take the form of brainstorming potential future features/issues, but it can also be as simple as trying to schedule quick 1:1s with coworkers to allow for unstructured verbal conversation.

(Personally I don't think Slack/IRC allow for the same sort of interaction as a verbal conversation)

let's say you need a warrant to get X.

you use illegal methods to get X without a warrant. but you can't use that information legally. so you use your knowledge of X to find a legal way of learning X, after the fact.

I believe genetic tests already exist for people at high risks to be sure that they are not(sane)carriers of deadly disease that could be passed on to their offspring. I don't think it is a wrong or morally reprehensible idea.

However, in the long term, it might not be a good idea to select, and likely reduce the human gene pool, because you can not know what will be useful in the future. For example, the Spanish Flu of 2087.

On the other hand, it is possible humans will become that good at genetic engineering that a small gene pool won't be an issue because we will be able to update and adapt it easily if new conditions arise.

This is a really good point. Very few software developers or product designers will argue against simplifying their apps reducing complexity within their apps.

However, at the aggregate level, I.e. the device level, the message is the opposite. Apple, Google, and 3rd party devs and businesses keep promoting the idea of more apps which essentially eliminates and overwhelm the benefits a user may see from simplicity at the app level.

A good example are messaging apps. While each messaging app may have simplified (even as they add features) for a regular user, they have to worry about 3-4 different messaging apps as well as which contact has to be contacted through which app. Do I use iMessage, FB messenger, Hangouts, WhatsApp to contact a person?

This is something Apple and Google should be tackling at the platform level. Windows Phone, and WebOS before it, made some token efforts towards this through their hub concepts, but they were destroyed by lack of support, and lack of open standards.

We really need to be promoting more open standards to enable users to control their phones, instead of becoming slaves to them.
It doesn't seem viable that they won't support it. I think they have potentially mis-understood the wide reaching impact of this legislation.

I'd be surprised if there is not a follow up to their email fairly soon.

15 Lessons Learned While Converting from ASP.NET to .NET Core
Upload endpoints can be decentralised if you're willing to put a little effort in.

By removing the certbot role from the ansible config and adding a locally running debian 9 vm as a upldr host in the inventory file.

You can run the ansible script and it will provision a full upldr node, you'd then have to edit your local hosts file to point upldr1,2,3,4,5&6 to the IP of the VM.

Then running your local copy of dtube any uploads will be sent to those nodes will be processed on the upldr host you created.

This is all untested but it should work fine, nginx might throw some cors issues but those are easily remedied.

Notability and related policies kinda, sorta, maybe work on Wikipedia relative to a total free-for-all but they fall down if you start squinting hard at them. Pretty much everything is notable at some level if you get local enough in either geography or subject matter.

And, as you suggest, the fact that the high school quarterback or a local diner got written up in some local newspaper that has managed not to go out of business yet doesn't make them more notable in any important sense than, say, pretty much any scientist with a tenured position at a major university. (Or someone who is well known in open source circles or a senior executive in a major company or ...)

I'm not sure what the best answer is. We pretty much know that anything goes doesn't really work (see Google Knol). But the current system on Wikipedia is pretty flawed as well.

>If the speed of light of this universe was raised significantly, is there some point where black holes would be impossible to form?

If the speed of light was infinite, yes, but a lot of physics relies on the speed of light being finite. Pretty much everything breaks (e.g. mass) if you have an infinite speed of light.

>I assume if the speed of light were lowered black holes would become far more common?

Yep. It might clarify things a bit to say that the "speed of light" is a misleading name - it's really more about being the speed of causality, the speed at which things happen.
I find it somehow fitting that the women in question would be very likely to tear apart this claim in the same way.

House Passes Online Sex-Trafficking Bill After Big Tech Companies Back Off
This article is a bit of joke and shows how far behind Britain is, in terms of cannabis use, compared to a place like the Bay Area.

10% THC cannabis was routine 10 years ago in the BA. Now, you can get 99.5% THC- a medicinal extract with extensive purification and attestable quality- although it is pricey (you pay for purification). It's consumed with a vaporizer, no combustion products if you set the heater low enough.

Most of this product is purchased by well-heeled techies and other successful business and industry types; one of the nice things about mostly pure THC is that it's not completely debilitating (for experienced users).

Whether there is an actual medical situation with high concentration THC would require much better studies.
ipfs.io is the public gateway ran by Protocol Labs staff. There are dozens of other available gateways (we used like 8 gateways total before, and we decided to stick to the most performant ones). We still use infura.io for the videos too.

We have our own gateway that we use for pictures (snap1.d.tube).

These IPFS gateways are a bit like a CDN system. The same file will load through any gateway. example https://ipfs.io/ipfs/Qmb14Qr2Jk55SDu3dtUNccZw7GDpzCHa8VeoZok... is the same as https://snap1.d.tube/ipfs/Qmb14Qr2Jk55SDu3dtUNccZw7GDpzCHa8V... or through any IPFS gateway.

Long term we plan to get rid of these gateways, by using js-ipfs in our player. Works, but not really stable as of my last try (memory leaks that cause the tab to crash after X minutes). With js-ipfs (native javascript IPFS node), we can load files directly from all nodes that have the file pinned, without going through gateways.

Also if you run ipfs locally and use the localhost:8080 gateway, then it's also going full p2p.
That's odd - works well for me on my laptop both click+drag and from the touch screen.

I think that's right. But there's a limit to what kind of business you can create with a single php file in 2018, and typically those spaces are pretty competitive.

Pieter's approach of what lead him to land on Nomadlist is I think where the value is - scratch your own itch, and do a lot of business experiments - don't spend more than a month or two on a business idea if it hasn't gained traction, move to the next one. Again, only works for some type of businesses.
The Lighthill report that brought the AI winter in the UK
I might not have been clear enough -- Norton is the one claiming to have science and absolute truth on her side. It's brought up in The Atlantic article, and particularly in this blog/Patreon post:

https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/02/26/we-have-to-build-the-f...

> I want people to reach out to the abusive toxic men and senior executive vice presidents in their lives, because it’s the most scientifically sound way that we fight bad ideas...

> ...I have no need or desire to bring more hate and anger into this world. What’s more, I have science that can help me develop techniques to diminish the anger and hate that’s here now. Science, like all forms of truth, is a form of love.

And to reiterate, I, and most of her critics, don't have a problem, in theory, with the idea of faithful redemption. But in her writing (and her tweets about this), Norton argues, essentially from a priori, that she knows her approach is right because it is true to her values/heart/whatever. She doesn't have a response to the concern about how she knows she's not being an enabler of (or otherwise suckered by) weev, or that she's not creating any unwanted second-order effects, such as inaderdently creating the appearance of normalizing weev, which helps weev in his mission to recruit toward his cause.

Great Twitter thread here, in which Norton's friend says

https://twitter.com/tomcoates/status/968631133591109632

> We are arguing about tactics and approach, and I am suggesting that the approach you are advocating is not as morally clear cut or correct as you argue...and that in fact while laudable in the individual case may quite plausibly cause other significant problems. To me your argument is only morally clean if you ignore the externalities and other effects, and I think this disjunction is causing some of the friction.

Norton's reply at the end of that thread is:

> ...fwiw, i've spent time in recent years looking at the science behind persuasion, & personal connection comes up again and again. but i first learned that seeing how National Coming Out & queer visibility helped move the culture along; thru personal connection

She may honestly believe that science is hand-in-hand with her altruistic optimism, and that's what's disturbing, because she has no desire to actually consider the parameters for when her approach could be considered a failure.

Strictly speaking, the defining character is enormous density, not mass. And the black hole is arguably a name for an effect of the object, not the object itself; the object itself is (or is in the process of becoming; verb tenses get weird when time gets weird) infinitesimally small, but the “black hole” generally refers to the space bounded by the event horizon.
Thanks for the education; that's a useful concept.

> Embodied

Do you mean "embedded"? I'm not nitpicking; I want to make sure I understand.

Where does one find the embedded/embodied energy for a product? I'd be surprised if it can be calculated - the energy required to mine, transport, manufacture, dispose every bit of every raw material that eventually goes into all the parts of an automobile (or other complex modern device)? It would be a very valuable but daunting task. How is it done and who does it?
