60 days isn't long enough to evaluate program performance; that's about the length of one mesocycle and thus it is not sufficient for evaluating how that performance carries forward. E.g. you could compare a peaking cycle to a volume cycle and falsely conclude that the peaking cycle is strictly better for strength gains. However, peaking is not sustainable and only provides temporary adaptations.

You're also analyzing increases in volume, whereas most people will be interested in increasing 1RM strength. Volume is obviously a key component of this, but volume as a metric is also tricky. The number of challenging sets is likely a better indicator of training stress and a driver of muscle growth.

For instance, it's trivial to increase total volume by performing high reps of a light weight over a long period of time. I can spend all day lifting 35% of my 1RM, accumulate astronomical volume, but see little to no training benefit.

I also take issue with your claim that your algorithm 'optimizes for accelerated muscle growth', yet it does not appear you have measured muscle growth at all. It's an absurd claim to make; you've optimized for a setsXrepsXweight volume metric. This is perhaps a semantic issue, but deceptive nonetheless.

I imagine that the app results in reasonable programming, and it may even be effective, but you have a long way to go before claiming any kind of empirical validation.

This has definitely happened. Wikileaks refused to release info on Russia during the 2016 election. Wikileaks may have started out with good intentions, but it seems to be making some explicitly political actions.

Not everyone is American - what may be foreign and untrustworthy to one person, may be native and honorable to another.

It is not black and white at all, which makes some of the hoo-haa about this all a bit strange to me (with people saying "... but this is helping our military keep us safe!..." neglecting to consider the other side of the coin of the citizens of another country on the receiving end etc etc)
There's thousands of nutritional supplements. Particular vitamins can have dozens of "vitamers," each exhibiting different properties. There's countless minerals, herbs, and novel compounds that people take for countless reasons.

There's also countless manufacturers, with wildly varying degrees of reputability.

To make sweeping claims about "supplements" is kind of like making claims about "Europeans" or "Asians" or whatever. It's such a ridiculously broad term.

Well, old buildings follow old building code or none at all. There are still a lot of 100 year old houses here that were built without insulation, and a void is gonna look damned attractive to wasps, bees, and smaller birds.

Interior finish work is expensive, doing it over to put in insulation is even moreso. And to add insult to injury, the low R value of walls is a data point used by siding installers, to try to talk you out of ripping the old stuff off before installing new. Each layer has an R value, dontchaknow...
Apache Spark gotcha – working with big decimals
This is the core piece of crucial information in all this, and I haven't found it anywhere else.

We have Java installed. As far as I know, we never told the installer if our use was planned to be commercial or personal. But in a few days, personal-use-installations will get a free update and commercial-use-installations will...

A) not get updates, through the updater using heuristics and mind-reading to divine that the installation is not personal?

B) get the update and thus be expensively out of compliance with the license?

C) have the updater present the problem to the end user and expect them to carefully consider the legal situation?

I think many people have assumed that the answer is B and are currently busy uninstalling Java everywhere, but if I understand you right the answer is actually C?

Is there more information on this anywhere? Most importantly, what is the correct official way to tell the updater ahead of time to keep the old version and never update? (We have a legacy application that uses applets.)
That has nothing to do with a blockchain though - the data structure you use has no ties to the physical entities entering data into it. If there's a regulatory body enforcing compliance, why wouldn't that regulatory body just maintain a database to track the supply chain? More energy efficient, and it aligns the data with its oversight. If there's no regulatory body, then you're back to the original problem - nothing about a blockchain prevents dirty Farm A from entering Farm B into the ledger.
Plus assuming the drone is above the tree line and not next to a tall structure, the actual "fireball" should move fairly skyward and not pose much of a fire threat? I'd be more concerned about the falling drone/battery.

Competently agree. Why should the app name be available without the master password?
Very possible, but Ecuador was also becoming increasingly annoyed by Assange / I suspect regretted their initial decision all on their own it seemed.

Like a lot of things around Wikileaks I think some were hopeful that it was a thing that (myself included) ... it just didn't turn out to be as an organization.

Like most folks would be fine protecting a journalist on principal even if he bothers other nations. Maybe less so if you realize that they're not behaving like one and then you start to wonder who you're protecting and what you're enabling.
Easy: don't put that road in the map. The cars don't have to choose the same routes people do, and when you're not the one driving, you're often less sensitive to timing.
Not only is it a long and expensive process, but the 737 type cert grandfathers in a whole lot of things that would not be permitted in a new type. So they would have to re-engineer a brand new plane from the wheels up.

Keeping the 737 type certification was a powerful incentive. Oversight investigation should look in to whether it should have been permitted by the regulator, and what other perverse incentives may exist in the certification process.

Was that info any good? Haven’t really seen many stories about it.
The first time I remember people making comments of this nature on tech sites was close to 20 years ago, when in the aftermath of the 2000 elections, some said electronic voting was the answer, but the companies promoting such solutions seemed universally slimey and not security conscious.

I don't think anything has changed since those days.

I think part of the problem has got to be that non-experts cannot judge how good a security solution is, so local governments are ill equipped to view it with a skeptical eye. There might also be in some way a downside of federalism here - if the states pooled more resources perhaps they would be able to solve the problem once instead of 50 times.
Will that storage have "11 9’s annual durability" and stored in multiple location?

That’s under “const generics”, but yes. Technically const fn is already stable, it’s just expanding what it can do, generally, so we tend to talk about them as one thing.

the open letters and what not? I have no issues with their, or Google employees for that matter, frustrations on a surface level, but at some point you either have to make peace with the fact that what you're working on has the potential to be leveraged in a way you don't agree with or move on to somewhere else where you have some semblance of the corporate ethics and/or morality aligning with your own if that matters to you as a person. Unintended consequences stink, I totally agree as I did a bunch of enhancements on a system once with the intention of making everyone using it have an easier time but it resulted in the company needing less people to do the job (not by firing thankfully, but these roles were filled by temporary workers so as attrition naturally happened, instead of being a revolving door, they just weren't replaced as they were leaving). Felt miserable about it when it happened and it still informs me to this day, but I also learned from the experience that you can intend one thing yet the result can be very different.
Could you do it without all or nothing? Mixing self-driving cars with humans means the intelligence has to understand irrational behaviour and has to respond appropriately (speed up rather than slow down, ignore the potential threat, account for traffic behind you), which is sometimes counter-intuitive. And it comes in many ways.

Will a self-driving car know that you don’t pump the brakes when sliding on snow? What about hydroplaning?

If that didn’t exist we wouldn’t have car fatalities or accidents.

An investment bank could easily find multiple cash buyers for companies of that size who would be willing to pay a premium. They’re like real estate brokers for companies.

As an example, IBM paid $34 billion in cash to buy Red Hat last October, which it paid to Red Hats shareholders. Red Hat was worth $21 billion at the time.

In practice many cash purchases of businesses are funded in part by debt. Companies or investors can borrow money from banks, issue bonds to receive cash, and contribute some of their own cash to out find a cash offer for a company.
> Which is that the policing apparatus in America functions to serve those that are already in power.

What makes you believe censorship laws won't also serve those in power?
It depends on the details. If they were more deeply involved in the DNC hacks, perhaps helping plan it in some way, they could be charged with conspiracy for the hacking. That's the least likely. If they knew these leaks were a part of an attempt by the Russian government to influence the election, and they participated and helped with the planning (like timing the releases for maximum impact), they could be charged with conspiracy to interfere in the election. If they coordinated with the Trump campaign during the release of this information, the Trump campaign official(s) involved would be charged with accepting something of value from a foreign national for a campaign, I don't know if that charge would just be against the campaign official or Assange as well.

These are just possible charges, of course. Depending on what Assange knew and when he could have done nothing illegal.
> Are you entitled to a DNA sample from some skin cells that floated in the air while you were having said conversation?

Yes. Why wouldn't I be. Those DNA are in my body. They might be infecting me in some way. Why would I not be able to inspect them however I want?

> Does that conversation entitle you to know of every other place that person goes that day?

If I'm with them the entire time then yes. If other mutual friends were with them I'm fully entitled to ask them and they are fully entitled to answer.

I went to Disneyland with my sister yesterday. I just shared with you that my sister was at Disneyland yesterday. My mom told me she and my sister went to dinner at McDonalds on the east exit of Disneyland after they got out. I just shared with you something my mother told me about my sister. I have broken no laws nor done anything considered wrong AFAIK in any country in the history of the world up to this point.

> Are you entitled to share a full recording of that conversation with anyone you'd like?

Personally I believe the answer is effectively yes and should be yes though I understand it might legally be no in certain places at the moment I believe those laws will eventually be overturned. Why do I hold this position? Because my brain recorded the conversation. So, first off if I have good memory I can dictate the conversation. Second, if I can make a machine to pull that data out of my brain it doesn't feel like the law can tell me I can't. It's my brain and my memory. Further, it's arguably we will enhance brains digitally at some point. First for people with brain disability. At that time it will be trivial for them to digitally extract their memories and being their memories again the law should have no say. In other words, tech will eventually make this question moot. Conversations will be recorded and just like I can tell you that while at Disneyland yesterday my sister said she was going to Hawaii in June (I just shared a lo-fi recording of that conversation with you) eventually I'll be able to do that with hi-fidelity.

Let me add I'm a little scared of such a world but I personally see it as inevitable. I believe digitally augmenting brains is inevitable and I believe telling people what they can do with their personal memories and who they can share them with is impossible/untenable so that world will come eventually.

Let me add though that I'm not against laws that say such data can not be collected in mass quantities. I have no idea how to word those laws so as it's possible for me to share all the data mentioned above with whoever I choose and yet not allow FB to do the same and also still allow services to help me share that data with who I choose to share it just like HN just facilitated me sharing info about my sister with you above.

Indeed, we probably all live in some sort of bubble, but as far as bubbles go it is a fairly large one, it includes academia, the corporate world, old media, news media, social media, entertainment, education, to name just a few domains. I can still joke around with my high school buddies though, most of them anyway, not Chad, the self righteous prick, so there is that.
You insinuated that aanyone who would use supplements would be too much of a rube to pay attention to the science.

The problem is, that communicates you've pre-supposed the outcome of the study, and projects the image that you're not really as interested in the answer as you are in a quick dopamine hit from getting in a zinger.

That's just off the top of my head mind.

It also leaves out the fact that industry isn't actually incentivized to fund studies to work out when supplements won't do anything for you. They want to increase sales, not give you an easy out of buying them.

At the end of the day, that leaves a consumer with mediocre capability to generate what we'd call substantive data to reach their own subjective conclusions. That people do so, and feel better by doing so certainly doesn't seem to be worthy of derision in my opinion. I just wish the industry's incentives were more in line with improving quality of life rather than straight up profit mongering.
Take out their valve cores once they park? :)
> So what is "normal" nose-up pitching?

Good question, apparently on the 737 Max this is more pronounced with the larger/forward LEAP engines.

This was enough of a problem that it constantly has to be checked and MCAS has to trigger if it is off by too much.

Most planes have a nose down pitch over time but the 737 is smaller/lighter so maybe the engines have always affected flying.

With the 737 Max and new LEAP engines, here it was enough for Boeing to make a system for it, they didn't make it just for extra, it was a cost cutting measure already.

> stall recovery procedure explicitly specifies that the nose has to come down first, before thrust is increased

Pulling the nose down is probably standard on any stall recovery because the nose up exacerbates conditions for a stall.

The problem wasn't really with the nose pitch up, but the nose pitch up created the need for nose up detection/monitoring and an MCAS in case of issues.

The major problem is that MCAS relies on a single sensor and a single point of failure, which can result in the MCAS constantly pitching the nose down if it is bad data or a broken/incorrect AoA sensor.

The root cause of this major problem is the cost cutting retro-fitting that Boeing did and their reliance on a single point of failure that can trigger a catastrophic nose dive.

This is one of those cases that the fix to keep the 737 flying the same as previous versions, without pilot knowledge of the MCAS initially, caused more damage than just the pitch up might do.
Empires amplify corruption, due to the conquered ressources, territorys and people subverting the usual repair functions of bureaucracy, governments and institutions.

This can escalate enough, to actually make the people "unneeded and a liability".
These airplanes all have inertial measurement units feeding the flight instruments. On older aircraft, there would at the very least be a simple "G-meter". There are design limits on the load factor so it's important to track it to make sure it's not exceeded.
I've been proud of my senator, Ron Wyden, for continuing to focus on this.
You will be surprised how many customers don't expect it to happen. You only know it because you have an idea of how the whole system works. Almost every user just agrees to terms of use without reading it.
> Most people can't use a bike.

This is simply false. Most people absolutely can use a bike. Maybe not for every possible trip, but for many of them, yes. Just look at the bike rate in the Netherlands, if you don't believe me.

There are a variety of possible modes available, and they can be mixed and matched as people need and want. Driving to a suburban park and ride transit station, taking the train into the city, and then using bike share to get to your final destination, is a perfectly sensible thing.
> There were two main issues that had to do with following distance.

The trouble seems to be that they're being too conservative. Following distance is what it is because of human reaction times. You have to process the input with your brain, decide what to do, move your foot, then the car starts to slow down. In principle a computer can do it faster and so doesn't need as much space.

Moreover, everybody would like following distance to be dictated by safety, but in practice it's dictated by traffic volume. If you have traffic averaging three car lengths between each car and then twice as many cars merge into the highway, either you end up with one car length between each car, or you end up with stopped traffic. There is no third option.

The problem right now is that they're still using the human driver as a backup, so using the safe-for-computers following distance doesn't mesh with that, but using the safe-for-humans distance is a violation of standard behavior. So they're stuck choosing between the unsafe thing everybody does, or the "safe" thing that then becomes unsafe anyway because of how everyone else reacts to it.
> This is one of thousands of edge-cases that are going to be extremely challenging to automate.

On the contrary, this is very easy to automate, it's a simple shared route planning communication between the cars.

The challenge remains interpretation and reaction to irregular environmental objects and structures.
Oh yeah, for sure. Thanks for clarifying.

Lots of residential places have roads exactly like those. In Seattle in particular, it's not just suburbs, but roads filled with apartment buildings on either side (see the neighborhood capitol hill for example).

I like Musk's proposal for mostly autonomous tunnel driving because it actually seems much more feasible than handling every edge case known to man.
Dumping the Podesta emails in the hour after Trump's "grab them by the pussy" tape came to light sure gives them the stink of partisan operatives. Lying about Seth Rich's involvement in the emails was cruel and deeply unethical. Giving air to bizarre conspiracy theories about the Clintons satanic rituals was also unethical from a 'media' organization.

Not sure if anything that happened was illegal (leaning toward no) but they were basically indistinguishable from a campaign arm in 2016.
But you have NSOs though, not ISOs right? From what I understand, ISOs are required by law to have a 90 day exercise window, so companies that offer more than 90 days after leaving a company are having ISOs converted to NSOs. When you exercise the NSOs, you still will have a tax bill.
They said most people, and even many elderly or disabled folk can bike. I see some very old people biking around Munich. Almost never saw that in the US, almost like having better infrastructure has some kind of impact...
This is in fact a major problem for the EU.
Agreed. We can more easily follow the autopilot patterns of commercial flights such that cars can activate autopilot once they have officially entered freeways, and disengages again after exiting.

Doing so can also help spur further investment into the Interstate system, which as an immigrant was one of the best inventions that America had made in creating a higher quality of life than other countries.

Hybrid drivetrains (tiny engines with forced induction and electric motors as a blueprint) plus driver assistance tech is a much brighter near future than trying to wrangle busy city streets and electric charging.
