Hi,
because CrossFit runs on time, there is a great danger that the exercises will be performed uncleanly.

Basically, body exercises and basic training (squats, dead lifts, pull-ups) are strongly recommended.

The technique must be carried out cleanly and to learn this takes several months as a beginner.
Facebook is not Yahoo — it's much more like Windows. It's ubiquitous, everyone has their pet peeves, and the actual user communities are wildly heterogenous yet tech commentators tend to assume they themselves represent the only kind of user that matters.
A patient sees two doctors for different conditions.

The doctors prescribe different medications.

The patient goes to two different pharmacists to pick them
up.

In a victory for privacy, the patient dies from a fatal interaction of the prescribed medications.

In the US there is a strong medical privacy law. And it includes an exception for providers of medical care to share treatment information with each other, for precisely this reason. Even so, every single time you see a doctor in the US, you are handed a notice saying they'll share information for permitted purposes (the triad of "TPO" -- Treatment, Payment, and Operations), and given a form to sign saying you have been made aware of this.
You are the internet at its absolute best. Thank you.
Eliminating redundant work while maintaining the same productivity is good for all humans. It let's you do something else instead. Its up to the society to provide that something or in its failure to a standard of living in its stead.

But nobody is growing up desperate to be a line worker. Its a job of necessity, not desirability.

If your economic system ignores a significant portion of your population to live in poverty maybe you need a new economic system.
We are discussing this very topic here https://github.com/tus/tus-resumable-upload-protocol/issues/... — it has stalled a bit so I would be very happy to see you or other interested/concerned HN readers weigh in. People sharing concerns on GitHub is the main way the protocol has progressed.
At a guess, the hilarity comes from the 'challenge' part. It makes it sound like Huawei is being challenged to do something different - which is pretty laughable by any standard the US intelligence agencies apply to themselves.

It is a bit like an Olympic athlete losing a race and seriously complaining that the competition trained too hard and challenging them to 'live a little more' (imagining that scene with a slightly miffed but condescending athlete cracks me up) - I mean, theoretically maybe, but the attitude that the competition should just give up is pretty funny.
Did you 'upgrade' from a 2015 model? I'm asking because I still happily use that model and can't see myself switching just yet.

It depends on the server, which has to implement HTTP Ranges [0]. Servers like nginx and Apache 2 should suport it. I'm not certain about the whole Node.js and Go backends out there. I think the support in Firefox does not have changed.

It's not allowed under the GDPR. But let us get real; this is Google doing it, and anyone complaining about this practice would first need to prove that it happens (which is not easy). You can (and should) expect large American companies to always ignore as many laws as they can get away with.

especially as there's no way to reasonably get ram that isn't susceptible to these failure patterns.

If I remember correctly from the original Rowhammer paper, anything from ~2009 or earlier is not affected. Price for RAM was not particularly high in those times either, and I'd be willing to pay the same (inflation-adjusted) amount today if it meant I didn't have to worry about these problems.

In any other scenario, RH-hard dram would be a speciality need and priced accordingly.

It shouldn't be, because the access pattern could show up incidentally in other ways and cause problems like silent corruption.
> If you want to know why Google isn't doing -great- in the cloud, it's because people are afraid they will kill the project.

Spot on, and it is a sentiment I come across more than once every year. The number of startups hosted on AWS is huge, MS Azure is currently runner-up and Google a distant third.
I would say this comment is accurate. I just moved to Toronto. The cost of housing is obnoxious and makes the overall cost of living extremely high, and unfortunately salaries don't make up for it. There is no doubt about that. And of course the traffic is horrible.

However, Toronto has everything Canada has to offer in terms of big city life. It's got the hustle of a global big city. It's has amazing food and entertainment. If you live in Canada and like big, global cities, then there's not much choice.
> They wouldn't be allowed to lie to Congress if Congress didn't allow them to lie

That seems like a pretty radical position to take - I'd bet that Congress has a rule in place saying "you can't lie to us".

How are you justifying that as a stance? What more do you want Congress to do? And how will that be different from trial by media?
Yes or even a Road Train with say 3 drivers on board for 24 hour use, big shortage of drivers in US apparantly.
Road train must be more feasible now, software should be able to easily steer multiple trailers with independent steering ,forward in same path as cab and for reversing which would be tricky without such.

A. This is a source that is part of the problem industry (and therefore expected to paint a rosy picture).

B. This source also states that the GDPR prevents data harvesting without consent, which it mentions continuously throughout this article.
A website can hardly protect itself. User can. Any tool that validate URL on login page are safe (U2F keys or password manager).
Here’s a ‘fun’ anecdote to illustrate this point.

A friend of ours was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma a few years ago at 25. Before she was diagnosed, she had gone to the hospital feeling sick and achy. After a full, 12+ hours at the hospital, it was clear she had some kind of cancer. Imaging showed she had a baseball sized tumor in her chest. One more test was needed to confirm which variety so a course of treatment could be prescribed. It was already quite late (after 11pm) and the hospital staff said she could just come back in the morning to finish the one remaining test. The next morning, she went back to the hospital and was denied the test.

Apparently, some inhuman garbage at her insurance company had decided in the middle of the night that they could save a little money by forcing her to do the test in a clinic setting. Since she hadn’t officially received her cancer diagnosis, she had to wait another four weeks to get the required test. Every day the tumor growing a little bigger.

She’s doing fine now by the way! She lost her insurance after turning 26, but did benefit from impeccable timing - she got one of the first Obamacare plans, it probably saved her life.
I am only intimately familiar with one EU country's banking transaction infrastructure, but there it is the case that when one (major) creditcard provider has a network outage the debit network is also down.

Communication is dependent on JS events, which are dependent on user's action. There's also localStorage and other such things. Your method might work for some simple JS based websites, but it's no silver bullet.

I think Calgary is a good choice for a place to live in Canada.

However, I don't agree that the meetups in Toronto show legacy technology thinking. I just went to a meetup at Shopify on Istio. Just Istio. Google and Microsoft have big presences. Shopify is a huge company on the cutting edge of tech. And there are tons of smaller startups that are doing great work, pushing the boundaries. There is also a lot of AI work going on as well. I don't completely get Blockchain, but Toronto has gone crazy for it.

Edited to indicate Toronto meetups.

This is extra amusing because there was a major outage this year in the card payment infrastructure of the Netherlands. It's possible you missed it, but only if you didn't try to pay anywhere.

I’m curious to hear more about shaman experience as I have some anxiety-like issues that no type of medicine/ therapy seems to be helping with.
You might have misread that study. It doesn't encourage behaviors that gain social status, but rather maintain existing levels of social status. As the study showed, gaining status increase hormone secretion, which can be seen as a method to regulate how much effort and individual should be spending in protecting what has already been gained.

The conclusion is still the same. In a violent society individuals will defend their social status with violence. In a peaceful society status will be defended through benevolence. A individual seeking to stay at the top of a social ladder will undoubtedly have hormone secretion increased as a matter of biological effect.
Tworoutines in Python

Show HN: Machine Learning on JVM or a piece of cake
Hello, people of HN. Let me first say that this post is about promoting an open source project which I've been working on for the past 10 months or so. I'm leaving it here with hopes of getting in touch with other devs who might be interested in machine learning, Scala or both.

Those of you who have stumbled upon ML before will know that Python is the go-to language for data-related things. It has high-quality libraries for analysis, modeling, and visualization. scikit-learn is a notable example and for good reasons; it's well maintained, has a large community, it's performant and it has a really good API (there's a paper about how they designed it: https://arxiv.org/abs/1309.0238).

I had been looking for a Scala equivalent for quite some time and then finally decided to start coding it myself. The main reason is that JVM-based languages are very common for building data pipelines and having the ability to serve predictive models directly within the pipeline offers several advantages. Here's some data to back-up my claims: https://cloud.google.com/solutions/comparing-ml-model-predic... (comparison of serving the model within the pipeline vs. calling a REST API).

The project currently has two main goals. It tries to expose its functionality through an intuitive API (mimic scikit-learn but use idiomatic Scala features and functional constructs) and provides performant implementations of common algorithms (here is a limited set of comparisons with scikit-learn implementations: https://github.com/picnicml/doddle-benchmark).

Here are some links if you are interested in taking a look:

Harvesting in a trade war: U.S. crops rot as storage costs soar
Toronto has serious housing, traffic, transit and salary problems. It is heavily dependent upon real estate speculation to bolster it's economy and it is quickly being picked a part by the province. This article is trash.
I wonder if it works the other way too. If a few key people in a network migrate to another network and stop using the old, will that force the others to move so that communication remains possible?
To be fair, Anti-Trust takes ages to investigate and then go through the courts. But Google just got hit with an Anti-Trust fine of $5 billion.

I'm surprised Facebook hasn't been hit with EU antitrust already. But the EU is already talking about forcing Facebook to split up.
One of the most positive things to come out of advanced automation in manufacturing will be the decentralization of manufacturing and countries being able to make most of the products themselves again, instead of buying them all from China.

Hopefully this will be just as true for chip and device making in the future, as then it should become much more difficult even for China to force companies to implement backdoors in the products they sell abroad. Because once those companies are discovered it would be game over for them.
The difference gets bigger on large binaries.
This happened to me as a kid in Eastern Europe about 30 years ago. I was with my parents and my sister, going from a high story to the ground level. We were pretty much at the ground level when the cable broke. There was a sudden jolt, I don't know if it was the brakes engaging, or the cabin hitting the buffer. Then a bit of silence, and after about one or two seconds the cable came crashing on the top of the cabin. I guess the cabin was quite sturdy, that nothing happened. My Dad just opened the doors (they were and still are mechanical, rather than the motorized gliding doors you see in the US), and we left. None of us was harmed in any way.
I haven't bought clothes in the states for a while, but I did go to a "TJ Max" (apparently unrealated to TK Maxx) and from memory didn't seem terrible prices.

Bought some underwear from a Duane Reade in NY just before Hurricane Sandy hit which was a reasonable price -- I was on the last flight into Newark, but my suitcase wasn't. That was the last time I've checked luggage.
> For example, the capital is a very important city even if not the most populous.

> and either San Francisco or Los Angeles (or both) also rank above Chicago

Wouldn't it be Sacramento in this case, as the capital but not most populous city? The most important city is a combination of multiple factors: size, economic or political power, and probably some more (like cultural).
That would appear the best option assuming none of your data has business or monetary value, as their intelligence service is tasked with sharing any trade secrets with relevant state business partners.

This is strictly forbidden in US intelligence policy.
Thank you for your suggestions.

I have not read most of these. I am adding to my wishlist and will probably start with Austin Kleon's books, they seem very interesting
The Martian in book-form is very impressive, it describes patching, in binary form, a bug in wxworks regarding priority inversion.

I worked with people a few years ago who had done the exact same thing, which felt a bit weird. Not on martian rovers or anything but on production systems for electrical networks.
Warner Bros puts whole movie up as an ad on Youtube
It's easy to predict that companies will fail, because most do in the end. It's very rare for companies to survive for long periods of time. Just look at the fortune 500 over time. It changes, massively, from decade to decade. If anything that trend is accelerating: companies grow faster and disappear faster as well. So, predicting that neither e.g. Google nor Facebook will be around a decade or two from now is not that unimaginable. Maybe they'll find a way to survive. Maybe they won't.

My bet would be Facebook might disappear and Google has more of a chance of diversifying their business enough that they may survive. The reason is that ad driven business models are long term problematic for both but Google at least has alternate revenue streams (e.g. cloud infrastructure revenue, mobile phone revenue, content subscriptions, b2b sales for analytics, development tooling, etc). They have a much more diverse portfolio of products and services than Facebook. And that's discounting the stuff they do under the Alphabet umbrella. Facebook has just ads. Ads on Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, ....

The odds are stacked against pure ad driven business models. It's a race to the bottom. There's privacy legislation, browsers are being upgraded to counter tracking, and users are slowly getting a clue about it being kind of scary that big companies know a lot of shit about them. Add to that the stream of negative news about them and you are looking at serious challenges to what is the only business model Facebook ever had: create addictive engagement driven properties and claim as much time of their users as possible on it so they can measure what they do and feed them ads, fake news, sponsored content, and other stuff 24x7.

Facebook needs to diversify their revenue streams and not just their user facing properties. If they fail to do that, they'll peak and eventually decline.

My guess is that the pressure on Mark Zuckerberg to resign will keep on building until he eventually resigns. Then if they fail to change course under a new CEO, they could suffer the exact same fate as Yahoo where shareholders milk the existing business dry and eventually sell whatever remains for scraps. In the case of Yahoo, this only took a decade or so.
It would be breathtakingly naive to think this is not done.
I know people from the Bay Area not in tech who moved to Chicago (priced out) and enjoy it. They haven’t mentioned this attitude.

My biggest problems with Git are that it doesn't handle large binary objects efficiently, and that it's difficult to treat multiple git repos as a single repo (useful for many things, including keeping versions coherent).
Oh, I so disagree. Modal editing is not about the modes.

In a text editor, user input either writes text to the file or does something else. Every text editor let you write to files so aside from aesthetics, it's the everything else that makes each different. If keystrokes for writing are not separated from keystrokes for everything else, everything else is confined to awkward ctrl- and alt- key combos. That's why it's a good idea to put them in different 'modes' so you can perform other actions comfortably. You don't need more modes than 2. Actually, in vim, you could see command mode and the visual modes as extensions of the normal node. Modes are really just a metaphor.
Perhaps they claim it's "anonymised" (which generally means it's still grouped but assigned a number instead of a name), thereby handily circumventing this requirement. I would be more hesitant to assume that just because the GDPR passed, the big guys are already as compliant as you would expect from it's wording. It's much more likely they're maliciously complying, because this nets much more money.

It should also be noted that Murray Sargent didn't just do whatever he thought of. He has done at least one math layout engine before, consulted with Donald Knuth regarding TeX and some choices that were made back then and a lot of the differences between this and TeX have a fairly sensible reason.

For me, I'm able to use both LaTeX and this, but the main points that make this more convenient to me is that it relies less on characters that are present in awkward locations in many keyboard layouts (such as {}) and the equivalent formula is often much shorter due to somewhat more advanced tokenizing (of course, specific to math input, as the format doesn't have the same constraints as a general-purpose programming and markup language), e.g. x^12 works for x to the power of 12 instead of resulting in x^1 2.
How is it broken to assume you need to be privacy conscious, even when it comes to the state?

How to Improve Etsy Listings for Better Search Results
If you were already carrying a 15" laptop plus full-size external keyboard plus mouse plus power brick for the laptop, a dongle is not much of a burden to add on. And many people who did that with USB-A machines tended to carry other accessories as well and end up with an external USB hub in the bag too.

I have a keyboard and mouse at my desk. I plug them into my laptop when I'm working at my desk. I don't carry them with me at all times, though, and I don't know many people who've ever done that.
Ontario PM Doug Ford is getting revenge on Toronto municpal government. There's a little bad blood with his brother and them. A little is an understatement.

For the record, Rob Ford was a very bad man.
