My work provides a gym, and I go there for at least an hour every weekday. I'd rather do poorly at work then skip exercising to be honest. I see some of the older employees coming in trying to reverse the effects of a sedentary lifestyle and I do not envy that position. It's crazy how people will deprioritze their health. It should always be a person's #1 priority to live as long as possible.

Of course, diet is also a huge factor as well. I stick to an intermittent fasting routine unless I can devote more time in the gym to bulking. I think fasting and caloric deficiency have some promising research behind it, and I think intuitively it makes sense that our ancestors would be eating only intermittently and probably never enough to put on a lot of weight. My nutritionist cautioned me, however, that there's still no scientific consensus and it still has a fad smell to it. It also takes quite a bit of mental discipline.

Also, if you're struggling with getting fit, GET A PERSONAL TRAINER AND NUTRITIONIST. You could not do more with your money than get professional help in steering your body in a direction that works for you. At the end of the day, you have to do what's right for your physiology and these trained professionals no how to make that easy for you.
Thank you, I wasn't aware of this.
Takes poison to notice poison I guess.

Isn't this the nytimes and friends complaining that they don't get to monopolize poison like they used to?

A company that hires someone like sarah jeong has no business complaining about poison.

The sooner the nytimes goes out of business, the better the country will be. The nytimes has poisoned so many minds and caused the nation to be so terribly divided that it will take years to recover from the mess they created. God knows how long it will take us to recover from the endless wars they propagandized for.

I wish zuckerburg, dorsey, brin/page would grow a pair and fight back against the media posse attacking them. Or deplatform the nytimes to lower the poison on their platforms.
Sudden?
There have been plenty of warning signs over the years. By the time recent shitstorm(s) started I already had a strongly negative opinion of the guy.
Put bluntly, exercising creates new mitochondria in your cells. Since disease is often due to low cell energy (making cells underperform or malfunction), it makes sense that adding mitochondria (=adding ability to convert cellular energy) is very beneficial.

Here is a quite technical paper on exercise and mitochondrial biogenesis: http://m.jbc.org/content/282/1/194.full
Part of what maintains the current fashion is this assertion that knowing certain facts might turn us into monsters. It’s unclear to me why so many people not only believe this, but think it so obvious as to require no justification.

Note that the two monstrous systems you cite had almost exactly opposite views on the matter. Nazism as everyone knows glorified what you call genetic determinism, but Communism was strongly against such things, for both humans and wheat. They were going to sculpt the new soviet man, remember, by fixing his environment, and they failed at this. Isn’t the existence of evil on both sides of a question evidence against the idea that one side is obviously evil?

Both regimes were pretty keen on sacrifice, and not so keen on individual freedom. On the other hand, I’m pretty keen on freedom and self-determination. I’m also keen on knowing stuff about how the world, I don’t see how keeping ourselves in the dark will lead to better decisions.
This hasn’t been my experience at all, unless you mean airport pickups, which indeed is mainly priuses due to regulations by the airport. However, for regular trips in town, you rarely get to ride a prius (because they are too busy serving these profitable airport routes)
I'd expect it's not the only thing, but you choose it because of brand recognition? That's usually how brand advertising pays off.

Show HN: Task priority score for software development
https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/task_priority_score

We work on projects where we want to prioritize tasks, issues, incidents, etc. We want to use a shared language that is easy to understand for software developers and also for business executives.

The link above is our work in progress, on a simple way to rank tasks using clear language and clear examples.

The scores are simple: P0 is emergency, P1 is must have, P2 is should have, etc.

We use this for agile development, scrum teams, kanban boards, and XP product management.

I'm seeking feedback please for areas to improve, adjust, add, and constructive criticism. I'm especially seeking feedback from high-performing startup.

Thank you!

> genetic predetermination == ancestry

You're the best kind of correct: technically correct. Different ethnicity+gender combinations do in fact produce differing relative-frequencies of IQs (and EQs, and VO2Max'es, etc.). However. These are only averages. Statistics. Scalar summaries of large groups. Human genetic diversity being what it is, you cannot confidently tell what someone's intelligence or strength is, based on solely their ethnicity. Attempting to do so, is what racism is. Furthermore, I am reasonably confident that there is no ethnicity in the entire human species which is incapable of producing, under the correct environment, an Einstein, a Gandhi and a Ryan Kipchoge.

However, if you were to examine an individual's specific genetics, and if we knew enough about the details of how every specific gene interacts to produce the phenomemon of the human body ... then you could indeed determine the maximum, predestined mental and physical potential of that individual. Not their children, not their parents, not their brothers, not their close cousins. Meiosis and mutation are (one of the few aspects of biology that I actually think to be) beautiful.
> If someone is screaming at me and ending every sentence with, "you fucking moron!", ... I'm going to assume emotional outbursts will be sent in return to any responses I care to make.

This is a good reason not just to avoiding debates with screaming people, but also to ignore them.

People are sometimes wrong. Happens to the best of us. Other people give us feedback. The screaming person who responds to feedback by more screaming... is more likely to be wrong.

In theory, one could first spend a lot of time debating patiently and politely with as many people as possible, weigh the arguments, and determine what is most likely to be true. And then, start screaming at people, to spread the message quickly to many people. But in practice, people who are screaming now were most likely also screaming yesterday.
I mean, what would you do to trace to the printer if it were printed with 100% infill and then just lightly touched with a butane torch, put into the oven for a few minutes or even lightly sanded on the surface?
I wonder what if those who were not performing exercises were already not well in some ways which compelled them to not exercise in the first place.
Cities need to fund themselves through real estate rather than income taxes. Tax “the person who could live in a place” rather than “the person who does live in a place”. For actual residents, it’s a wash, but it severely penalizes the investment crowd.
I wanted to help address this problem with my signal sharing API proposal. Unfortunately, the glibc people have the attitude that nobody should be using signals, and so they refuse to improve the signals API at all. I strongly disagree.

- "What is the word for the smell after it rains?"

I'm interested in that, but certainly not interested enough to watch a video.

Fortunately, a quick search tells me the word is "petrichor", and has the etymology [1].

I can't find a word for the cute biting. All the sites have maximum-GDPR all-the-tracking boxes, which is my new cue to hit "back".

It’s a Sisyphean task.

Given how easy Algo or Streisand are to set up, why would you bother with VPN providers, most of which have questionable practices and would probably not hesitate to lie on such a questionnaire?
And yet, we’re having a discussion about a fertility crisis. A discussion that is happening in parallel with a discussion about whether or not the benefits of a college education are worth the costs, for either gender. And a political climate where a demagogue rose to power on a promise to return to a time when these weren’t discussions. A general lack of respect for tradesmen and blue collar workers - despite the many benefits they provide to the economy. An epidemic of loneliness, the destruction of communities all across the country. For a great number of people in the US, there’s a longing for a return to traditional values. The answer is somewhere in between both extremes. Not every man or woman need to start life later. Economic outcomes would be a lot better for a lot of people (and the US in aggregate) if that wasn’t the narrative being sold to them.

Of course, for a lot of other people, college, and starting life later is absolutely the right answer, economically, socially, etc. I’m not saying that everyone needs to strive for the traditional nuclear family and forego college, I’m saying that there’s an incredible lack of respect for the people that do, much to everyone’s detriment. Does a woman who enjoys the idea of being a mother and a homemaker really need to go to college? Is it ok for women to want to be president, or to bake cookies for their family. It seems like we’ve really told them ‘no, if your goal is to bake cookies and make a warm home, then you’re pretty much a garbage proletarian.’

Disclaimer, I’m a man, talking about what women can or can’t do, so take it with a grain of salt, hopefully a woman can provide a perspective based on experience.
Thank you. The comparison of MeowHash to SHA without mentioning MD5 or any actual performance numbers didn't make sense.
The commoditization of intelligence
Okay so the entire ownership/txn history of that asset itself is accounted for, and that's what's triple entry accounting is. Got it.
I just did that, and it’s not true. Average rent is higher percentage of average wage in Chicago.
He/she does go on to explain what they mean by that: press releases deliberately talk up the `magical' aspect of quantum computing, and this is at least in part necessary for further funding. You can argue about whether the word `hoax' is warranted. But I didn't misunderstand the sentiment. It's not an antiscience claim, but merely hyperbole to drive home a point.
It is worth noting the story wasn't about building more housing, it attributed it to more taxes on speculation, rules, and one market effect, a slow down of home resales. "Resale" meaning not new housing units.
> The best thing for Common Lisp: users make and support packages that work across many CLs, and users get the package via quicklisp.

This is why I'm hot for implementations to support package local nicknames. This extension will largely solve a problem that QL has: package name collisions.
Every OS out there updates more often than Windows, and some support more hardware. Yet, it's only Windows that is this nightmare.
What's even more worrying is that years after the bailout, investment and economic stabilization, detroit's population is still declining ( although at a slower rate ).

Also, I said Toronto.
It’s true that the positive effects would be lessened, possibly. Anecdotally, however, I’ve seen several dozen professional athletes eat like trash while maintaining an elite level of fitness. Turns out the body is fairly good at efficient nutrient synthesis, having done it for millions of years in sub-optimal conditions.
I've been using TypeScript professionally for over 2 years now and compared to writing JavaScript it's indispensable but for all my personal work I prefer haxe

-- My love list --

- The generated JavaScript is usually faster and smaller after compile-time optimizations, for example, objects can be inlined so they become stack-only and don't hit the GC. Example: https://try.haxe.org/#0F337

- It's expressive (but familiar); nearly everything is an expression and switch statements support pattern matching:

var animal = { species: "cat", breed: "bengal", age: 15 };

var friendliness = switch animal {
case { species: "cat", breed: "russian-blue" }: 100;
case { species: "cat", breed: _, age: age } if (age < 5): 300;
case { species: "dog", breed: "golden-retriever" }: 1000;
default: -1;
}

- Fast compile times (for sizable projects you get hundreds of milliseconds rather than seconds – and faster still with incremental builds enabled)

- No need for separate tools like webpack:

> You can perform arbitrary compile-time behavior (like processing and embed assets or generating code) by marking haxe code as a macro

> Generates a single bundle by default

> Dead code elimination built-in

-- The downsides --

- Not many people know about it so it's usually better to stick with TypeScript with clients

- The smaller community means if you might have to be more hands-on, both in learning haxe and when it comes to working with haxe libraries – i.e. fixing a bug upstream rather than waiting for the community to fix it

- The package manager is more bare-bones than npm (personally I _much_ prefer this – I find `npm` and `node_modules` can be a nightmare to work with) but there's a general ask in the community for more advanced package management
Sure, but back in reality it's literal fake stories spread to a susceptible portion of the population by national or foreign interests to confirm their biases and influence their decisions.

You can find numerous examples of this under the lists of Reddit accounts banned for this exact thing.

"HILLARY IS PART OF A PEDOPHILE PIZZA GANG"

"SETH RICHES HACKED THE DNC"

"MUELLER IS INVESTIGATING HILLARY!!"

"SOMETHING SOMETHING MUSLIMS ARE BAD"
Yeah, this article is full of s..tuff. Database of 14 printers and it's not even clear if it's the same model and manufacturer. So yes, you can tell something about the settings from the print..
>This doesn't strike as being a conservative vs. liberal issue

From the article:

>The companies and groups subpoenaed on Tuesday, according to the person with knowledge of the investigation, include Broadband for America, Century Strategies and MediaBridge. Broadband for America is a coalition supported by cable and telecommunications companies; Century Strategies is a political consultancy founded by Ralph Reed, the former director of the Christian Coalition; and MediaBridge is a conservative messaging firm whose website boasts of helping to place hundreds of thousands of comments on net neutrality during Mr. Obama’s presidency on behalf of one client.
We have that, it's the status quo. See above.
When I say high end workstation I really do mean workstation and not gaming PC. Most people do not have quad channel memory on their home PCs but it is in fact a pretty good step up in throughput.
Depending on the model in question, a "foreign" car might be manufactured in Tennessee, or an "American" car in Canada or Mexico. The old labels are becoming somewhat meaningless.
I was talking with some friends a bit ago and was surprised to learn that Haxe is used a lot in game dev and embedded a lot. Apparently a lot of set top boxes like Tivo or car infotainment systems use it, and there's a lot of very good game engine infrastructure in it - https://armory3d.org/ was specifically mentioned as being surprisingly high quality, and all the people that wrote games on Kongregate apparently switched to Haxe.

I can count on 0 hands how many times I have used inheritance in the past 6-7 years. And if you don't count times that a framework requires me to use it to accomplish something, like React.Component or NSTableView, then that number goes back something like 15 years.
I think that it is mostly about what the person values and what they are willing to sacrifice. If having children is a priority they will usually make the sacrifice. If not they will choose accordingly.
As far as how a culture values their children you can have good parents and bad parents either way. Just because a child is raised on a farm and helps the parents out when they are capable doesn't mean that that is a bad life. They can still be happy and productive and live a good life.
I assume you mean Toronto, not Vancouver, based on the parent comment. Median household income in Toronto is $65,829 CAD as of 2015 [0], which is about $52,500 USD adjusted for purchasing power parity [1]. Chicago's median income from 2012 to 2016 was $50,434 [2].

I didn't take the time to find numbers that are perfectly apples-to-apples, but it definitely doesn't seem like Toronto's median income is materially lower than Chicago's.

Next to non-existent? They have several stores in each of the major cities. Is it the same number of stores as in Seattle? No. But near non-existent is way off.
There is also boost interprocess which, despite the name, provides a very general way to access shared memory; in particular it provides shared memory allocators and a full reimplantation of the stl that can take advantage of them.

I've always wanted to try irt, but it can't handle unexpected process failure (i.e. a crashed process will leave the memory in an unknown state) which is something I always end up needing.
I skimmed the article and can confidently say this is garbage science. The microscopic parameter changes inherent in every print (across printer types) means that any sort of unique ID (the type of ID which would be required in a court of law) on a single printer would be impossible. Using the word "fingerprint", which is essentially a UUID for humans, as a stand-in for "identifying a class of printers" is hugely misleading
Maybe AV R&D, but that's the biggest one right now. Duo Security just got bought by Cisco for $2 billion I believe, but that's in Ann Arbor.

I'm excited to see what happens when/if StockX is bought by someone. It could turn out to be the spark the city needs to jumpstart more tech jobs.
How would this work? A pointable mirror is in an equatorial low-earth orbit could shine on a city for a few minutes every 90 minutes or so. Except when it's in earth's shadow. Is that what they have in mind?

I suppose it could illuminate several cities on its route.
American mothers in the 30-34 age range have the lowest rate of medical complications during labor and delivery (per table 4 here):

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4418963/

35-39 year olds have slightly higher rates of complications, but the rates are still lower than in teenage mothers. This rank ordering persists even after adjusting for demographics, type of birth, and comorbidities (table 5).
Not up on the current but there were houses for ~$10k a few years ago. That's next to a burnt out crack house from the Eminem movie, like #8 below:

> > But the main issue with 3D printing is you can make a 3D printer in your basement. Cheaply.

No, he means you can make a 3D printer easily. So you can make one that doesn't have whatever restrictions or fingerprints the article is talking about.
This is a very lazy way to shut down a conversation. Huffington Post and Fox News are indeed owned by partisans and are partisan themselves, but even such cheap shots have respectable journalists (Smith and Wallace at Fox for instance). WaPo is owned by a partisan but has a good track record. NPR has many underwriters but that does not stop them from having good investigative journalists.

Do you have a complaint different from "It is not perfect so I do not believe in any of it"?
It's strange that you say there is no bias in the results, because in another comment you have even proposed a mechanism to explain it:

"A black inventor would be seen as out of the ordinary, and so be referred to as an African American inventor, stacking the deck in favour of those results."

So the results look biased. Now, it might just be by chance; however all this talk from Google about fairness and equal representation makes me a bit suspicious. Not certain, just suspicious. I would have preferred a company that just said "look, we're engineers, this is the data, these are the algorithms, we don't care about the outputs, deal with it". But it looks like that stopped happening at Google (I'm not saying in this specific case, I'm saying in general) a long time ago.
Futures and promises
>besides saying that paid upgrades were not a scam, you were also trying to convince newtacamp that charging money for the OmniFocus v2 to v3 upgrade is perfectly reasonable, if you remember...

I don't think I've gotten lost, but to be clear, to me "perfectly reasonable" does not mean that it's "a good value". I'm not arguing that OmniFocus 3, or for that matter OF or any other Omni apps in general, are something that anyone here should buy. You can all evaluate that for yourselves. newtacamp merely used that specific piece of software as an example. The point is that it's been years since the last upgrade, the older versions have been well supported with minor updates, and Omni considers v3 to be a major upgrade. If you and others do not then that's the market working as intended!

>AppStore upgrade pricing is not a scam

App Store "upgrade pricing" does not exist. That's the whole issue. On their store for the Mac app Omni offers 50% off upgrades from v2 to v3. In general historically and today most upgrade offers are heavy discounts at least for -1 versions (some places differentiate between -1 and -2 or -2++). But unlike subscriptions if you think they haven't earned the fee from a paid upgrade you don't have to pay it, that's not some side "excuse" that's the value. In fact in normal stores "cross upgrades"/crossgrades are a thing adding even more competitiveness, a competitor can allow possible new users to "upgrade" from a licensed copy of a competitor to their own software instead. All this is valuable to a vibrant market. newtacamp argued that a major upgrade being charged for is "scammy" ("repurchase fees" is also derogatory) and by implication argued that alienating users who won't pay is somehow a problem. I disagreed, and still disagree.
Too bad for them the relevant agency has already stated that they do not have the regulatory authority over broadband.
I think apt-get installs packages, Windows Update applies patches.

In Windows, can have individual updates to a library that fix bugs b1, b2, respectively b3. If so, you can install eight different variants of that library. If, later, a fix for bug b4 is released, its installer must be able to handle each of those variants. The installer also allows you to roll back any of those patches (example: patch b1, patch b3, patch b2, roll back b1, patch b3, patch b1 again)

In practice, it’s impossible to handle that combinatorial explosion, so you get updates that require b1 to b3 to be fixed, that require service pack x, etc.

However, the system still is designed to handle that. It sort-of must, given that Microsoft occasionally releases updates that it hasn’t tested on all possible hardware configurations, but that (may) solve a specific problem (https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/mrsnrub/2009/05/14/gdr-q... is dated, but, I think, still illustrates the problem)
