Decrease the number of variables and conditions to any physical system; say to something binary and you end up with a 50/50 argument, which means at worst means you can always fall back on trial and error, and at best you might discover something you didn't see before. Simple theories are better than "holistic" theories, because they act as a starting point for many more testable simple theories. Knowledge at it's most primitive form is ultimately somewhat binary, completely testable and scalable.
For the same reason we don't use the Usenet in place of the Internet.
If your knees hurt it's either a form problem (you're likely overstriding or lifting your knees too high and slamming your feet into the ground), or a shoe problem (shoes are only good for 300-600 miles of running, assuming you never wear them walking and that you let them bounce back at least overnight after a run, or you're wearing like... motion control and heavily padded shoes when you need less stability or less padding, or vice versa)

Other options are bad knees (unlikely, honestly. Not many people have knees that are so genuinely shot that they can't run, unless they're former paratroopers or are very years old)

Or, if you're carrying a lot of extra weight (backpack full of water? I don't know, people do whatever they do), that'll hurt.

Since you're talking about running in the woods, it's almost definitely not the sidewalk, but, some people need to build up their muscles and tendons by going from softer surfaces (not so soft like sand, but grass) to ashphalt, to concrete.
And it's not how everyone who plays games plays. But some do. I suspect there are many you don't see on the social media. It would be a strange field of human endeavor if it somehow managed to not have any people like this. I doubt they'd be the professionals. They wouldn't be the social media self-publicitors.
Totally, it seems to be somewhere around about as effective as other treatments for depression.

Personally I choose exercise over medication, and haven’t had any significant depressive episodes since I started swimming, running, and practicing yoga four or five times per week. As a bonus my body feels great and my mind is more clear now too. I just wish I could have made younger me wake up to it (even though I knew what the answer was).

There are certainly people that aren’t able bodied and can’t choose exercise, or are clinically depressed beyond what exercise would be effective for, but for many people a solution seems to be exercise.

NLL: Non-lexical lifetimes. New Rust feature. Actually, they're still lexical, in that they're bound to a specific section of source code. It's just that the lifetime region might be smaller than a block. Variables living too long is a problem in Rust because, if they're borrowing something, they block other uses of the same thing they're borrowing. See [1].

CFG: "Control Flow Guard"? Microsoft feature to prevent overwriting return points on the stack? Not sure about this one.

IR: "Intermediate representation", the data format used between compiler passes. Now broken down within Rust to a "high level representation" (HIR), a "medium level representation" (MIR), and a low-level representation. The low level representation is called LLVM, not "LIR", because it's borrowed from the LLVM system.

LLVM: Originally "Low Level Virtual Machine", now just an identifier for a a specific compiler optimizer and code generator.

Are we getting to the point where physics actually isn't showing any more useful properties for us to leverage?

Isn't that kind of what it would mean if it turned out octonions were at its core?
As a math graduate, octonions (and quaternions) at least to our group, was something that got discussed once or twice and not much after that. However, I would not call them weird or unusual, at least not more weird than something like a near-ring which similarly simply drops one of the common assumptions for rings (I'm not sure which, actually). As mentioned in some of the comments, nonassociative fields do get studied. Studying not necessarily commutative structures such as (all) groups is in fact an even much more common thing to do.

I would say that studying octonions exclusively would be something I personally would avoid, as I would rather try to study the four structures (reals to octnonions) together, either more generally (e.g., group theory and ring theory) or more abstractly (e.g., as members of categories) and form an opinion on whether I think octonions in particular are useful for the questions that I want to ask.

That is not to say that the research here is not interesting, but it is difficult to judge that from "popular" mathematics articles. I got the impression that the author of the article places a much higher priority on the pictures accompanying the post.

I remember that I found it interesting that studying the four dimensional spacetime bears more fruit than stopping at three space dimensions, and that at the same time from complex numbers the next structure ends up also having four dimensions (i.e., being modelled by 4-tuples). However, apart from being interesting in this narrow sense, I do not know whether this suggests any creative yet precise mathematical questions.

Nobody had even a proof of concept for a shoe that looked like a running shoe on the outside but had "springs, wheels" inside, so the officials didn't need to. Compare it with competitive cycling, where for a hundred years officials didn't need to X-ray the bike to check for hidden motors, but now they regularly do [0].

If the Nike shoe is banned from professional competition, athletes will stop wearing it, and officials will investigating other shoes for carbon fibre inserts, and will likely catch some. They're not stupid.

Untrustworthy is untrustworthy, whether due to incompetence or malice.
Pretty much every complicated enough profession I know of has conferences, books, blogs or something about how to do do things.

Their conferences are less of circus and games usually and except academia they tend to be cheaper (conferences are expensive and I am not even sure they make you better) but the information exchange still exist.
They move their wings quite a bit relative to each other. Usually they do hold them a bit further back, and she explained in her blog entry. But they are capable of moving them far forward when they want. Sometimes the patterns are strikingly different when they do so.

It is most noticeable in a swarm, where little flashes of different color wind up catching your eye against the background of the more general form. Almost like the flashes of silver you sometimes see in an active school of sardines or the like. And who knows? Maybe even for the same reason, as a response to similar environmental pressures!
The NDA terms are sometimes onerous. For example, prohibiting you from talking about unreleased products regardless of how you come to know about them, not just from what you see on the tour. Every decent journalist would respect that parts of a tour would be off-the-record without the need for a legally binding document.

I've declined the opportunity to receive pre-release review devices before because I didn't like the restrictions the NDA put on what I was allowed to say about them.

Own 2 triplexes.

Generating $500/month net positive cashflow after all expenses, mortgages and get to live for free.

Can retire today and literally be a bum with a $500/month paycheck where the buildings will pay themselves down and be worth over 1.5 million within 20 years.

Instead, I'm choosing to continue working and buy a larger farm/acreage to go off grid and raise animals.

Other passive income:

- small app subscription business making $250/month

- dividend yielding stocks producing about $40/month

- solar array equipment that produces $200/month

My net worth is only about $150k today.... but will steadily climb to about 1.5 Million within 20 years from doing basically nothing.

This is the difference between Rich vs. Wealth.

The Rich spend and have no systems in place to generate income (ie: they have money)

The Wealthy do not have to work, and have systems in place to generate passive income.

I like to think that I'm well on my way to being Wealthy as opposed to my little 'w' wealthy today.

Ps.

- I drive 10+ year old cars in entire life (never spend more than $4k on a car)

- Buy everything on sale, if not used

- wear basic clothes

I believe your dismissal of journalists is the result not of their failings, but of your relative ignorance of the profession.

Compared to software engineers at least, journalism has far more advanced professional ethics and procedures, including codes of conducts, mandatory disclosures, processes for spotting and correcting errors, independent watchdogs etc.

As but one specific example: here's a great article on the process that goes into editing a single article at The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/notes/2018/06/how-to-copyedit-th...

I'm not sure what words you're trying to put into my mouth or why; but I feel like you're completely out of line.

I live in a country (France) where such harassement (especially death threat) can and will be acted on by the police if reported, and regularly are. I agree with that policy, and I agree with the recent move by our government to make it easier to report online harassement.

I absolutely disagree with your statement that if a part of a group is rotten, no matter how small or big, then all of the group's complaints should be ignored to avoid drawing attention to the bad members. This is stupid on a lot of level, easily abused (don't like that group ? just infiltrate them and make them part of something bad ! a great plan used by all of your favorite dictators), and frankly I can't believe anyone smart would argue for that.

By that same logic, we should not heed the concerns of those harassed online because some of them have done harassment themselves ! Great plan there.

"Amateur runners" is an extremely broad collection of people. Everyone from someone training for their first charity 5K to those who run multiple marathons a year can fall into this category.

Some amateur runners definitely spend $250 on shoes, either because they have so much money that $250 is basically the same as $70 to them or because they are very serious amateurs.

> fix the transportation and traffic problems around the airports and the logistical delays first, then brute-force the actual flight time

Why this sequence and not the other way around, or both at the same time?

The two don't seem to be competing for any resources, other than the highest-level ones like money. In some cases, the airport logistics problem may be intractable or take too long (witness BER).

I also suggest your times are slightly off, in the context of the target market. I doubt someone paying that much would need the full hour (though as little as 30 minutes might be a stretch if we're counting departure time not boarding time).

I also think, however, that lowering a 4 hour (gate-to-gate) flight from 4 hours to 2 hours is unrealistic, and is too short a flight to make sense for supersonic, anyway. IIRC, Boom was looking to halve the 7-hour JFK-LHR hop, comparable to Concorde.

Where it would seem to be far more attractive is the much longer flights, such as trans-Pacific, where the overall time is much longer, a higher portion of gate-to-gate (and door-to-door) time is at maximum cruise speed (shaving 8 hours off a 14+ hour SFO-SYD could save a full day of travel). Even Europe to the US West Coast would be significant, which relates to the premise of the article.

knee pain isn't the same as joint problems.

All runners who run regularly will eventually develop knee or ankle pain. It's sort of normal for semi-serious distance runners to own a pair of crutches. I'm not saying all of them, but, if you need a pair of crutches, ask your friends who run and one of them will have a pair.

But, your knee can hurt for a while without it turning into joint problems.

> This was an observational study where people chose whether or not they wanted to run; therefore there is always the possibility that people stopped running because they had knee pain. As such, we cannot comment upon the influence of compulsory running on overall knee health.

so... forced running might cause osteoarthritis. But, if you feel like going for a run and it doesn't hurt, it's not going to cause joint problems.

> Our study findings add to the existing literature by including a large sample within which we were able to assess the influence of running in people who participated in running for shorter amounts of time and perhaps stopped running in a cohort that had high quality of assessments of symptoms and standardized radiographs. We found that runners in this group were not at a higher risk for symptomatic knee OA.

I think that is exactly what he meant to answer yes, that criticizing the game or the dev's behaviors (with actual valid complaints) was wrong, because some people who did that also did bad things.

Maybe not a particular pair, but you have to have experience with any types of shoes. I would frequently buy two pairs, one I would normally train in and the other will be reserved for events. Even the pair reserved for event I would typically test run (hahaha!) at least once during training to spot any problems.

Now, this is pure conjecture, I don't think the shoes magically make you more efficient. Efficiency is something you learn when running over long period of time. I would expect, to reap benefits of these shoes (assuming there are) you would need to get used to the new mechanics of running that the shoes will require.

SpaceX was "subsidized" by the govt even as they provided services to the govt in exchange for money. That's called business, and the customer here is the government. It's also in the best interest, long term financially, to have an American space launch company, so we don't have to give money to the Russians or Europeans to launch our astronauts or satellites. Language matters, subsidy vs. contract is an important distinction

> Conspiracy theories also supply a seductive ego boost. Believers often consider themselves part of a select in-group that — unlike the deluded masses — has figured out what's really going on.

> When such theories become entrenched in the public consciousness, however, they erode people's trust in authorities and the status quo.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how our institutions run on faith. One of my favorite quotes from Sapiens:

> Sapiens have been living in a dual reality. On the one hand, the objective reality of rivers, trees and lions; and on the other hand, the imagined reality of gods, nations and corporations. As time went by, the imagined reality became ever more powerful, so that today the very survival of rivers, trees and lions depends on the grace of imagined entities such as the United States and Google.

The thing is, we kinda need these imagined realities. We need them to continue being collectively imagined in a positive light. I am from the Soviet Union. If you think you have it bad, imagine not being about to drive for an hour without getting pulled over and having to bribe a cop. Why do Russian cops need bribes, while American cops will bust you if you try to bribe them? The difference is entirely based on the cops' respective ideas about what they're doing. The American cops believe that laws are important, that their jobs are to keep people safe. When we punish people who stray from the ideal, we re-enforce the ideal. Corrupt cops and politicians must be punished, if our institutions are going to remain free of corruption. If we're cynical about transgressions, and say stuff like "of course that politician took a bribe, all politicians take bribes" then we actively re-enforce the negative model. This is exactly what, e.g. Trump does when he says "you think our country is so innocent?" He wants to normalize corruption because he himself is corrupt, and if it's normalized he can get away with it.

Thus, this kind of thinking is a vicious cycle. If everyone is cynical about institutions, the actors in those institutions will be enabled to behave more badly, which justifies further cynicism. And cynicism is easy -- as TFA says, it gives you an ego boost. You're hip, nobody is pulling the wool over your eyes, you know what's really going on. The benefits are internalized, while the costs are externalized.

I think conspiracy theory thinking is a harmful meme. It's a collective disease of society that undermines our social institutions -- you know, the ones we depend on to keep us safe and free from tyrants and corruption. I treat friends who spread conspiracy thinking the same way I treat friends who sneeze on shared food or have unprotected sex with an STD. If you believe nonsense, that's your prerogative, but if you're going to spread it by talking about it, I'm going to shut you down. If you agree with me, join me.

Tl;dr: friends don't let friends spread conspiracy theories.
