The interesting thing to me is that Boeing seems to have completely failed to restrain management pressure to perform economically and went right past the acceptable performance boundary (dynamic safety model).

Even an allegedly high reliability organization was not able to escape bean counting in the end. It would seem that capitalism's typical obsession with profit can't be reconciled with reliability on the long term.

Having done both Yoga and Strength training myself they're not the same. If anything, they're complementary in the same way that cardiovascular training complements strength training.

There's lots of ways to be fit, I just think OP is trying to say you can't put all your eggs in one bucket and expect all the benefits to come to you.
Are you aware of any efforts by existing databaes or entirely new databases built with this realization in mind?
I'll admit I'd really bought into the idea of Instagram as the solution to Facebook, as a place where everything was sunshine and rainbows and everyone could just appreciate art and beauty without the negativity of, well, controversial opinions. I could follow beautiful people doing beautiful things in beautiful places. I could watch and admire. It seemed, dare I say, a healthy escape.

> “You want me to say I’m influencing all these people,” he says. “But I’m the one who is really influenced by this. The way I act online is shaped by monetary incentives. If a post does well, expect to see more posts like that. If copying and pasting motivational quotes from Dale Carnegie drives engagement, I will share them all day long. I don’t care.

My opinion is different nowadays. Instagram is surely a place where exists a lot of true beauty and expression, but it's also a place full of people largely driven by societal and monetary reward, to an extent that I've come to consider unhealthy. We are being influenced, and we are influencing.

And we like that-- my social brain wants to know what society considers beautiful, it enjoys training itself on what society considers beautiful, it wants to be affirmed in the beauty of its own body. Instagram gave me exactly what I wanted. But (and I don't mean to criticize anyone here at all, considering I was and still am subject to the same pressures and influences) I don't think what I thought I wanted was healthy. I want to be happy. A constant stream of corgi videos and bikini photos and travel porn gives me little ups, but it also shapes my brain in ways I think could be damaging.
Just to clarify, yoga in this context refers to ONLY the stretching.

If your instructor is having you do low rep, weighted exercises, it does hypertrophy and would improve that muscle.

Yoga is a generic term.
There's yoga and then there's yoga
Anecdotal but doing yoga only two years increased my flexibility up to the point that I can put my feet behind my head without any issue. It resolved most of my pains that comes from sitting at a desk all day.

There's also a lot of power yoga poses where you do the equivalent of weightless exercises.

I get that money is money, but I feel like we desperately need to make conflict of interests prosecutable, so we can kill the self-serving mess that are LBOs.

In what universe is "I borrow a bunch of money, buy a company, then force the company to basically borrow money from me" a value-creating operation? Cuz it sure isn't this one.
Of course, power density is inversely proportional to half-life. Low power density BECAUSE the half-life is 432 years.

> Have you seen the political discourse on 8chan lately?

Yep. 8chan is trash. There's undoubtedly some actual white nationalists there, there's also a massive amount of losers who need attention.

You and the NYT are taking what they say at face value, giving them exactly the attention they want, and rewarding their behavior ensuring there'll be more of it.
> Wow, you're assuming that the neuro-diverse can mimic these signals so much better than sociopaths

Given how little we know about the inner mental states of sociopaths (as opposed to their outward behavior), I don't think we can simply assume that they're closer to the neurotypical ideal than autistics. (There's even some speculation that they may essentially be "emotional Reptilians", with an emotional palette that's essentially restricted to relatively basic drives - and that their consistent manipulation of others is in fact driven by the resource-acquisition drive.) There may even be multiple dimensions of viable empathy-signals; one kind may be especially cheap for neurotypicals, whilst a different kind may be cheap for the autistic.
The example analog I chose is actually a thing, and hitting the button does nothing.

The problem is in the design. Despite the fact that it's possible to defeat the failure in some instances (assuming it hopefully doesn't manifest itself too close to the disaster envelope to start with), the failure case 1) never should have happened and 2) shouldn't require unintuitive remediation.

It's bad design and bad functional-safety analysis. Neither of which fall to the fleet operator or system operator.
>Once people see open source as a way to make money, it becomes a very different thought process.

I think it's less about a different thought process, but about a set of potential legal implications or ramifications.
> A plunge in NIC checks foreshadows a corresponding plunge in gun sales

I'm curious about this statement. NIC checks are, as the name implies, instant. They happen upon transfer of ownership of a firearm from an FFL dealer. So I'm not sure how they 'foreshadow' sales, more likely they mirror sales. In fact, when you purchase a gun online, the sale occurs before the check...
The "fasting" is the "nothing". The "fasting prep" is where the money will be made:

- sleep optimization products (white noise machines, blackout curtains, lucid dreaming BS guides)

- fasting-friendly recipes and nutritional guides

- branded water flasks

etc. etc.

I've seen college kids on IG sell "workout guides" which are basically a Word doc they converted to PDF. They look like models, so polish and presentation of the final product isn't nearly as important as the polish and presentation the influencer put on themselves before going on camera.
I feel like it would be more comparable to someone posting how x technology/framework/language will cure all your problems whilst the poster has never tried it, nor used it, potentially doesn't even understand it and is being paid to talk about it.

I think programmers care about names more than mathematicians.

Part of that might be the ages of their respective fields (if I wanted to rename "bubble sort" to "triangle sort", I would only be influencing something like 50 years of established work, whereas if you wanted to change the notation we use for derivatives, that's 400ish years).

Part of it might be the relative proportion of time we spend grappling with syntax versus the conceptual domain. While programming languages themselves don't require that much learning, we still need to learn others' APIs etc. Especially in the absence of documentation, good names are extremely valuable. But math is super documented, and most of the thinking can be done in relation to domain concepts without too much regard to syntax. I am guessing that makes good names comparatively unimportant to them.
One-sided 95% lower confidence limits were 0.83 (RMDQ) and 0.97 (pain), demonstrating noninferiority of yoga to PT. However, yoga was not superior to education for either outcome. Yoga and PT were similar for most secondary outcomes. Yoga and PT participants were 21 and 22 percentage points less likely, respectively, than education participants to use pain medication at 12 weeks. Improvements in yoga and PT groups were maintained at 1 year with no differences between maintenance strategies.

Here’s the question we have to be asking: if the government is going to claim that it has the power to do things like this, what is the check on that power? In what sense can the public consent to the government having these powers if they are kept secret? if the public cannot consent, then who did?

It seems that the legal system and organizations like eff are what we’ve got at the moment. But that only works to the extent that courts are willing to hear those cases, which nobody can force them to do, especially if the courts become packed with far right activists.
"Interestingly, Octopuses have very similar eyes but do not have a blind-spot. This is because our optic nerve comes out of the retina into the eye and then back out, whereas optic nerves in an octopus come out in the opposite direction."

This "design flaw", i.e. placing wiring (nerves) in front of detectors (retina) is interesting and has been discussed at length (e.g. https://www.quora.com/Is-Dawkins-right-about-the-human-eye-b...), because it is point of contention for people arguing for Intelligent Design. Cephalod eyes evolved differently so don't have this problem (impossible not to feel a bit jealousy for this, like the randomized gradient decent optimization designed by your colleague converging on a much better solution than yours :-)
I think all journalism is biased, but there’s a difference between regretting it and trying to hold it back, and wallowing in it like the Guardian does.

For example the Times publishes pieces from the left and right viewpoints. The Guardian doesn’t even pretend to be interested in multiple views.
Um, YES. A large majority of people see high follow counts and equate it to truth and authority.
> Because private-equity firms appear frequently as villains in the press, many people assume that they cater mostly to the superrich, earning high returns on investments for billionaire clients. They do. But by far the most important piece of their business — 48 percent, according to the data-analytics firm Preqin — is investing capital for American pension funds.

This doesn't get mentioned often enough when talking about the "1-percenters" and the wealth gap in Western countries, i.e. that most of the capital behind all of the current economic and social system is directly or indirectly held by part of the general populace itself.

The issue is of course that the other part of the populace (generally speaking people under 35 who cannot put money towards their retirement funds or who can only get temp jobs) are not part of this financial arrangement and, as it so happens, are also some of the worst affected by the current economic set-up (those temp jobs I was mentioning are not as great as the normal full-time jobs held by people whose pension funds are managed by the companies investing in Cerberus).

Afaik almost no politician has focused on this social and economical contradiction, if I may call it this way, some of them are putting whole of the blame on the 1-percenters, some of them are choosing to ignore it all together, but almost no-one has actually looked at the real numbers. And the real numbers tell the story of a society divided in two, a part that will manage to enjoy its pension and the other part that has no clue how will pay for its old age.
On the contrary OP is saying only strength training matters. This is horseshit. In Eastern traditions people who lack flexibility are considered weak and unhealthy no matter how strong their muscles are. If you can't bend you can't move.
Almost everyone you've ever seen in an advertisement trying to sell you a legal bodybuilding supplement was on steroids. With its ubiquity, Instagram is making these unrealistic expectations even more mainstream. Just as the beauty standard for women is unrealistic, men practically have to use steroids for anyone to believe they go to the gym. These unrealistic expectations lead to unhappiness and body dysphoria. Compare Eugen Sandow, or anyone else who singularly focused on gaining muscle mass prior to the discovery/invention of anabolic/androgenic steroids, to random gym bros in your IG feed.
Yeah, take any hobby or sport or whatever that involves "gear" of some sort, and you'll get some variation of the old saw:

"The correct number of $ITEM to own is n+1, where n is the number you own now."

$ITEM can be "mountain bikes", "guitars", "road bikes", "motorcycles", "guns" or pretty much anything.
Not a fan of yoga but this is one of the reasons for confusion. As I understand it, there are several types of yoga, some are as you said, bodyweight exercises and some are basically adult nappy time. Not at all familiar with the terminology but when I used to do weightlifting, I had a minor injury and it was recommended I attend a yoga class. It did not help and I really don't believe it makes you stronger. I mean, probably if that's the only type of exercise, it will clearly beat running or whatnot wrt to strength.

The problem is that even with serial numbers things aren't as fixed. You might have a different type of serial number, zip code, etc.. A check constraint can be expanded to do the appropriate length and formatting checks for most types. A strict length restriction just does one simple thing.

Same with name and address fields. I've seen databases where they set it at an seemingly arbitrary number, because that's the maximum length their delivery service could handle (UPS etc.), but then they added another one with different constraints…
How can you create non-determinism in a deterministic system without a source of randomness/non-determinism?
It's still capitalism. It works because business folks sell valuable software acquired at a zero dollar cost of goods for billions of dollars.

And there are a ton of crappy open source projects out there, so it hasn't "only produced amazing pieces of work" it's also produced amazingly terrible software that has proliferated because it's free, but the sales people don't know or care.

"If you’ve decided to buy a product but the particular capabilities it provides aren’t that special to you, it might make more sense to change how your organization works rather than embark on complex customization."

Having spent 9 years or so babysitting and customizing a COTS system my employer purchased, this quote rings so true. Often, I sat in meetings with the leaders of the user areas, who owned the software, and thought that their rationale for customizing came simply from the desire to say, "Hey, we're different from every other competing organization."

> neutrally-written

I'd like to see opinionated stuff too. In fact lack of what can be labelled as opinionated, non-credible and non-significant is what I dislike of Wikipedia. I acknowledge value of neutral and credible information but I believe too much of what still can be useful food for thought gets discarded with the rest.
I don't think they're saying it's more secure because they didn't tell anyone.

In a prior job, we discovered some automation left ports open that could theoretically be accessed by customers, thus a malicious actor could theoretically have loaded software onto a privileged instance. So we had to treat all devices as potentially compromised. That meant running automation to tear them down and rebuild. This took days.

We were able to do this without visible outage, but the devices affected were mostly doing NAT; if you have a more central component affected, you do need downtime to back it up (that's the read-only section, don't let customers write data that doesn't get backed up) and then rebuild and put it all back together.

Also, it's just easier to get it right with downtime. And they're probably padding these estimates to handle the inevitable things that go wrong during maintenance.
Just in case somebody else wonders about a reference, its here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_integral -- as the WP page on elliptic curve says: "An elliptic curve is not an ellipse: see elliptic integral for the origin of the term."

The confusing fact which Mark Dominus means is however, probably the fact that the term "Elliptic curve" seems to be a merger of the name "algebraic curve" and the defining equation

y^2 = x^3 + ax + b

which is however not the defining equation of an ellipse. That would be instead, in its simplest form

1 = (x/a)^2 + (y/b)^2

That's in fact confusing.

Genuine questions here.

Look into charging per developer, with a site license option. Libraries / components, especially for enterprise development is big business. In the .Net space you have $100m+ companies like DevExpress and Telerik, and smaller, more specific and niche component providers (example: componentspace.com) selling successfully at a few grand a copy.

A few hundred bucks is way too low for any library of substance that saves the local developers a few weeks work.

Maybe. I'm saying more that there really isn't a problem on the paper's end.

The problem, if there exists one at all, is the reader ignoring words on the page of a publication that is expressly about transmitting words.

That said, the Guardian already uses a completely different highlight colour for its Opinion section than it uses for its News section.
Yeah the article goes through the mechanism, but it's not a new story that private equity firms buy companies with debt that the target company ends up owning. It's a little bit interesting to read about how it's done but it's basically the same thing you can read about in Barbarians At the Gate. It's not that they wanted or didn't care about Remington going bankrupt -- if Remington doesn't pay back those loans, it'll be harder for Cerberus to fund the next LBO, Cerberus would prefer that the hedge funds who loaned the money make back their money -- it's that it's highly leveraged and very risky. They assume it won't work every time, but the law of averages isn't comforting to the people working at Remington.
