My understanding is that squats boost T production because so many muscles are involved at once. In other words, full body resistance training should generally boost the T level.
It's naive to think the data that is collected about you is harmless if it is secure.

Standard economic theory suggests that precise knowledge about your properties and preferences will, in the future, allow firms to extract the maximum profit from you, to your detriment.
Google is already heavily investing the health sector, for example.

Not only does Google have a lot of broad data associated with your person, for example, any symptoms of disease you ever plugged into search, but we are also talking about an OS, which has absolute supremacy about anything you do on that computer.

That is why we should care, and that is why a comparision even to amazon or facebook is not accurate here. In this particular case, the breadth and depth of the possibilities to get data about you are unusual.

And keep in mind we are arguing about an OS that is technically not even open-source.
Just to highlight the details of this situation, I wonder if other groups received the same treatment or not?

The practice is, either way, heinous. It would clarify some details to know if this was racially motivated against indigenous, all minorities, or just common (mal)practice against all mothers?

I'm not sure why people say this. With the exception of Oblivion, I played all of those games at launch day and did not have any issues in any of them. In fact, I rarely experience bugs at all in my games (Bethesda or otherwise). I'm trying to figure out why. I am either extremely lucky or people are making it seem like these bugs occur a lot more often than they really do. I don't know.
Overqualified means that employers don't want you, because they assume you will leave very quick or will not be motivated or there is something wrong with you. Employers assume that overqualified people are getting lower job just as temporary solution and prefer someone who will stay longer.

Though not a Bethesda developed game New Vegas, It is one of the best written games, of course coming from Chris Avellone. I have rarely felt that immersed in any other RPG. Its open world felt full of possibilities, excitement and danger, unlike most other open worlds which are mostly empty, sparsely populated with self-similar bland features.

In writing in RPGs, I will dock some points from Larian. Recently tried Divinity:Original Sin. The setting and the writing was so generic.
At most, it may mildly inconvenience fraudsters who commit in-person fraud. It would do nothing for scams that take place over phone, mail, or internet, which I imagine is the vast majority.
I think the comment was made in relation to star's age, as it is one of the oldest in our galaxy. If life requires time to develop, this planet gave it a good shot at that. Also, the planet's climate may have been more favorable to life in the star's heyday, which means that even if nothing living will be around when we'll get there, that still makes it a very promising archeological place.

Same. I was on King and Bathurst too was lucky to have had the options of walking, driving + looking for parking, biking (having lived in a couple of places in North America, Toronto drivers are mean to cyclists) or taking the streetcar and streetcar during commute time was easily the least reliable (and close to being the slowest). It was precisely because streetcar was treated like such a second class citizen on the road which this hopefully fixes.
Consumer expectations of scope, game length, release time tables, DLC, etc. have made this an impossibility.

The blockchain offers:

1. for the CEO/manager in a big company - a very high security mechanism, verified by the billions of $ in bitcoin. Great quality assurance, and politically, that's a good choice to make for something as risky as computer security.

Nobody got fired for choosing blockchain.

2. Trust in needed when you want many companies to collaborate.

Nobody like centralized trust(a-la banks). They charge a lot of money, they usually end up as a monopoly, and they have power over you. nobody likes to give up power.

IBM's blockchain, i.e. Hyperledger, is open-source, governed by many companies, so i assume the money/power situation is far better. You could probably leave IBM's hosting if you really wanted.

We’re not comparing Android in general to iPhones. We’re comparing Pixel phones which Google controls with a similar care to Apple’s ecosystem. There have been reviews of Pixel phones that say they perform more smoothly than other Android phones with more RAM. Google also provides an integrated cloud storage system for Pixels that many customers consider better than Apple’s for iPhones (Google Photos is popular).
In my benchmarks, HyperLogLogs unilaterally outperform MinHash* by a constant factor, while Bloom Filters of the same size become more accurate than hyperloglogs in the 100-500kB range (though this number increases with the cardinalities of sets being compared). The biggest advantage a HyperLogLog has over MinHash and bloom filters is that it works well regardless of the sizes of the sets being compared, while MinHash is sensitive to differences in set size and bloom filters perform terribly in the small sketch domain. (These results aren't yet public, but they will be soon.)

It's really hard to do this - nearly impossible to cut out palm oil just by boycotting. It's a $60 billion industry and it's found in 50% of products on supermarket shelves (soap, shampoo, Nutella, Oreos, pie crust, peanut butter, Earth Balance, (!!)).

And it can go under so many names after it's been processed by the Oleochemical industry - https://www.ran.org/the-understory/palm_oil_s_dirty_secret_t...

I think you just need to brush up on data structures: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/data-structures/ (There are probably better resources like HeadFirst or Khan Academy)

Most of the problems you've listed become easy the more familiar you are with data structures. This is a more common problem for anyone outside the SV/SF bubble and I wouldn't worry. Just start doing homework and you'll be fine.

Once you're done with data structures, I would start checking out design patterns: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596007126.do

I cannot say enough good things about Colt Steele on Udemy. It's about $10 for "Web Developer Bootcamp" that covers HTML/CSS, JavaScript, NodeJS and touches on MongoDB. Then another $10 for "Advanced Web Developer Bootcamp" which covers advanced JavaScript, AJAX, React, etc. If the site is quoting you more than $10 or $15 for the courses try deleting your cookies or using incognito. They're known for showing users "custom" prices.
palm oil is the most efficient oil to extract by practically a factor of 2 [1]. So in the long term, if global supply increases or stays stable, if we replace palm oil crops with another crop, eventually we'll make the problem worse and face more deforestation.

Can someone explain why this wouldn't be the case?

I don't think there is a network effect present in either Uber's or Blue Apron's business model.

<snip snip>
A network effect (also called network externality or demand-side economies of scale) is the positive effect described in economics and business that an additional user of a good or service has on the value of that product to others. When a network effect is present, the value of a product or service increases according to the number of others using it.[1]

Warrants have to be specific, correct? If they asked for your Xyz password and you didn't know it, you explained you used a password manager- would they have to get an expanded warrant to compel you to disclose that password? Would that be considered an overly broad warrant?

I use my password manager to save things that are not passwords too- padlock combos, combo to my safe, medical info, parents wills, banking, all my dirty secrets... Seems wrong they could get access to all my info if the warrant is just for Xyz.
Unless you can point me to instrumentation on ChromeOS that I should be concerned with, I'm going to not assume that "all of my data" is going to Google.
Yes of course, as that was the purpose of this trial. Increase the cost (in time and convenience) for drivers, therefore reducing the demand to use this particular route by car.

In turn it increases demand for people using other modes of transportation due to the lower "cost" of different ways of getting around.

But if you are asking, did the cars from King St. just clog up other streets? Well, some of them did. But the increase of 20,000 users of the streetcars had to come from somewhere. A number of them were most likely the displaced automobile users.

Now the hard part is making the decision on whether or not the trade-off is worth it. The cynic in me thinks that the local businesses, or a vocal/powerful minority, will end up winning this battle and things will go back to how they were. Maybe they will reduce the restriction to a block or two to keep everyone happy. Time will tell.

one of my reactions to fallout 3 was that unlike the original fallouts, it wasn't funny.
Agreed- a lot of people (on HN at least) are hypersensitive to any suggestion that any homeless people are voluntarily homeless, dangerous to themselves or others, or engage in any activities that everyone living around them would prefer they not engage in.

I get it; acknowledging that can be a slippery slope towards demonizing all homeless people, which in turn could lead to people rationalizing not trying to help the situation, or dealing with it in ways that don't help those in need.

But it's dishonest, and it's a weird sort of virtue signaling to try to shame anyone who says they don't like wading around in syringes and human waste and clearly mentally ill panhandlers when they visit SF. Mass homelessness is absolutely a problem not just for the homeless themselves, but for everyone in a city. There's nothing wrong with saying that mass homelessness makes a city a worse place for everyone, not just the homeless themselves. Accepting that makes it a lot easier to motivate people to actually do things to improve the situation.

Anecdotally, it's an issue where people tend to hold extreme positions with no middle ground- either SF's homeless are primarily noble beings fallen on hard times who need our help, or (the other extreme view) they're primarily panhandlers taking advantage of local sympathies and weather and are fine with sleeping in doorways and pooping in alleys if it means they don't have to have jobs. In reality it's some combination, but I have no idea what the demographics are or if anyone even knows.

If there's no common ground with how people define the problem, there's no agreement on the solution. It sucks but if people don't view it as a huge gray area with multiple valid perspectives, it can't ever get fixed in a meaningful way. People will just continue arguing over whether to arrest them all or throw money at them, and the problem will persist indefinitely. Having said that, I really hope the additional funding approved by voters last week turns out to be a step in the right direction that makes a tangible positive difference for everyone in SF, homeless or not. I have no problem with throwing money at the situation if it actually helps.
For what's it worth, I have been using Linux as a side-OS since pre 2000, and only in the last two years has it become really good.
It's now my main driver on all my machines and frankly I have started to prefer it.

This has never happened in the ~20 years I have been using Linux and other OS. Linux went from "meh" to just as good pretty recently, imo.

Furthermore, this is just a usability consideration. Don't forget that all other OS become more and more closed, more and more about collecting private data, and more and more about proprietary app stores.

Of those 1000 civilians who were shot dead, how many of them were in immediate risk of harming others? Just saying "1000 civilians every year" as if policemen had simply assassinated them is dishonest to say the least.
HARRISON BERGERON by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was
stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213 th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.

Some things about living still weren't quite right, though. April for instance, still drove people crazy by not being springtime. And it was in that clammy month that the H-G men took George and Hazel Bergeron's fourteen-year-old son, Harrison, away.

It was tragic, all right, but George and Hazel couldn't think about it very hard. Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.

Genuine question for you (and anyone else), while on the topic. If you had a Master's degree and all you did was "normal" office job type stuff, but now if you want to do hourly burger flipping or whatever else, how would you go about tailoring your CV? You can drop a degree or something but now you have to also account for 5 to 7yrs of full-time job experience.....I am trying to rack my brain.

Caller area code.

For starters; he had to call a general, city line, to get the public (non-local, 10 digit) line for the dispatchers, so he could actually call the '911' (three digit) line.

From what I gather, The area code itself is a give-away.

If you say 'what about people who just moved, but haven't changed their number yet,' then I'd say that the dispatchers (should) be able to see if it was a honest 911 (three digit), or the public line (10 digit.)
No, they've just reached fusion temperatures. It's a step along the way but we're not at net power yet.

They really aren't, they are just small compared to western standards. You can get a two bedroom in Shinjuku for $1900/month, it's just going to be around 625 sqft. Transport in the Tokyo area is so good it's not really a big deal to live further out either.

A big reason is that the Japanese land zoning approach is far more rational than the US approach. Much has been written about it[1].

> No matter how much you want to blame the police for this, keep in mind that if you did this in a thousand neighborhoods with many different police officers and jurisdictions, many many many more people would die. In my eyes nearly 99% of the guilt is in the man that falsely called this in.

No, sorry, but the first task for the police is to protect innocent civilians. Even if it causes harm to the policemen themselves (this is why they get all those jackets and equipment). Murdering them is not protecting, how can you defend the type of police that goes and kills a gamer in his house with no other proof than a phone call?

With regard to Washington, this quickly devolves into a semantical discussion about what "broken" means. The observation is that it is working as intended, an outcome that is perpetuated by both parties pandering to everyone that it is broken and they can fix it.

That doesn't mean it ISN'T broken, that proves that it is. Correct, it is a selective evolution that works the way selective evolution works. But it doesn't cross the threshold of egalitarian representative democracy where the representatives get to express the will of the people they represent, which is what the masses of people it represents mean by "its broken".
In inertial confinement fusion, it's a very small volume for a very short time. But this is magnetic confinement, which means it's a pretty large volume (probably cubic meters in this one), and they want to keep it going as long as possible (I think 30 seconds is the record so far). But the plasma is very thin; the atoms move really fast but there aren't many of them, so the actual amount of heat isn't remarkable.
Maybe they already have?
