Wow, I actually had no idea crossfit was an organization. I thought it was just a name for an activity, like calisthenics or something.

That's good they are disengaging from facebook. I was clueless that facebook had forums or community stuff. I always thought of forum users using fake handles, aliases, anything but their real identities. Hopefully they can bolster up their own site and provide an example for others.
I think they meant that the bytecode itself reads like a forth. The data stack works just like it does in forth within a single Python function.
So did we.
Scanners and WAF are, in general, not useful security tools.
Of course you can. Every modern BitTorrent client allows you to download file pieces by their order. IIRC it has been a solved problem for at least 8 years.
Interesting... I thought this was about the isolation of the folks at the top from the rest of the organization. Instead it was just about morals, which, yeah... You can have great morals and yet still be tone deaf.
Ah, my mistake. Still, though, it's unidiomatic and rarely (if ever) used.
I'm not sure I follow you. The current law was passed in 2015 and carries it through 2020[1]. I could be mistaken, but if no action is taken the program would expire on both sides. I'm not quite sure what the tax companies get out of free filing other than the non-compete from the IRS. The tax companies hide their free program, so they're not getting upsales. In 2007 they agreed not to offer loans against tax returns.

but without orientation it is more difficult to learn and check. you intend to put one letter but pick the wrong one, later a teacher can't tell which mistake you made, and can't help you correct it.

or imagine cooperation "hey, can you give me an 'a'?"
you get a letter, and place it the wrong way, then you read and think "this is an 'a'" learning the wrong pattern.

you don't have that problem with other tools because you orient the whole device (or paper)

great conversation here guys
The tone and demeanor of this post reminds of antivaxxer propaganda. I wonder if there's a correlation.

That's certainly something this could be used for. The main use cases we are seeing right now are those kids of batch operations (intros, outtros, lower thirds, titles, captions) and re-purposing user generated content; for example turning photos in slideshows, or uploaded footage in to an edit.

It's aimed at businesses who are building apps and services that handle large amounts of videos per day and they want automate repetitive tasks or build some kind of that needs a more refined, creative video to be output without the user needing to do anything.
4x the amount of time, but what x the amount of qbits?

My very vague impression of quantum computing is that making a quantum computer with more qbits is quite hard.
Unfortunately queue doesn't always mean FIFO, as you might expect. Are you submitting them all at once? Does response order matter?
What would you say about other intentionally anti-intellectual dogmas?

I do think they are worth considering, but also worth criticizing when they're proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be worse than useless.

Seems like classical, straight-up espionage. The only confounding factor is that Assange wasn't (as far as we know) working on behalf of a foreign power. But these days, that's what spies are - not James Bond, but merely a guy who coerces and helps his assets to gain access to and then exfiltrate secret information. Espionage.

Jeez; What a disingenuous comment insinuating that there can never be any decent news about the "big bad" Chinese company and its people.
I’d be interested to see this same analysis with H.265 given that its the way forward and the standard on the for many devices and media.
An actual free society does its best to balance different things, like individual rights versus the good of the whole. When done well, protecting individual rights enhances the good of the whole.

The reality is that a 100% estate tax mostly will hurt the middle and lower classes. The ultra rich will get with their lawyers, set up trust funds while they yet draw breath and find other loopholes.

Same as it ever was.

And while wealth inequality is a genuine issue, there's much worse things that grow out of trying to prevent people from being wealthy at all. It's absolutely the wrong goal. The goal should be to not exclude people from the benefits of living in a wealthy, developed nation. It shouldn't be trying to arbitrarily and spitefully rob the rich.
Ah! My explanation was wrong in that sense, thanks for the correction.

Unpopular opinion, but they aren't that far off with regards to academia. Academia has little scientific agenda at its core—most things boil down to money.

If you want to make a case for your idea on any topic, put money on that topic and professors and researchers work towards making a case for it (this is less true about math and (maybe?) physics but the farther you get from those topics, the more impact money has on results and ideas).

Academia (mostly? in the US) is just yet another institution that is solely driven by money.
Sorry, but who is the left in this scenario? I'm finding it harder and harder to distinguish who is for the free and global economy and who is against it in the US.
This was an interesting article I read about CrossFit from about a year ago that goes into some of this:

An automated factory in the US is more US jobs than a factory in China. It is a net positive even though you don't get all the jobs back.
At least on Android you can install and run any software you want. Google provides an app store but it does not lock you in like apple does.
lower height pegs might work, but why would you use braille bricks in places where you can't read the text? they are not building blocks but writing blocks, the same way you would use flat bricks that have letters printed on them or a sticker.

not being useful as building parts also help them not as easily disappear into lego buildings elsewhere. (although that is a faint hope, as i am sure kids will use them that way anyways without considering the lack of stability)
Yes, I'm actually quite impressed that they offer opus @160k. The real issue with Youtube is that you never know what the source was. If they're reencoding that from a 128 kbps mp3, that suddenly becomes much less impressive.
What Huawei's employees and thier famlies said
I came back here just to thank you for that. For others interested, newpipe is available on F-Droid. It has options for pop over video playback as well as background audio playback. Sure beats the always on Youtube app.

It supports the importing of subscriptions but doesn't seem to handle playlist import currently.

I wonder if TSMC will audit Huawei's designs to enforce ARM's license revocation. Presumably TSMC will do so, they have much to potentially lose if IP compliance isn't assured (eg: iPhone SOC manufacturing, Qualcomm chip manufacturing & all the other chips they make for ARM licensees).
i am still waiting for the day that i can print my own lego compatible bricks that actually work reliably.

i am glad to see that progress is being made. i hope that the wear out is a problem of the material and not the printing process, so maybe better material can solve that?
Ahh, the Dreamcast. I love those consoles. Recently picked up one basically new. It's archived for the grandkids, along with some 8 bit machines and a six switch Atari VCS (2600).

I never said it did. I said rubygems did and often fail at following that.

However I know of no common versioning scheme where 0.y.z is considered production ready.
The worst case scenario is that tariffs and other measures against China slow down their economy enough that their real-estate bubble pops. The results of that could easily be political.
AFAIK the only constraint on `Range::contains` is that the `Idx` type conforms to `PartialOrd`. So you could in fact have a `Range<String>` if you so desired.
It has become a cult. I personally have no problem with people lifting and motivating each other and CrossFit was originally quite good, especially the competitive athletes. But now a days it’s become a huge cult where it’s all about people motivating each other to see how many reps of a certain exercise a person can do while completely throwing the form out of the window. Couple of my friends are in sports medicine field and they tell me on how CrossFit has become a way to keep sports meds employed because it’s single handedly the most cases of sports injury in their clinic.
> It should be unthinkable.

Zuckerberg, is that you?
Good question. It looks like the rate at which more qubits are needed is slightly less than that for the time requirements. (So still under 50M qubits total, vs 20M for 2048 bit integers.)

They also say later on in the paper that, given certain constraints, it should be possible to use multiple quantum computers with fewer qubits per computer - at the cost of a slight increase in the total number of qubits.
In the modern news cycle the only thing that matters is rage and shock. If they didn't make an unnecessary rant, it would get fewer retweets.
got any reference to that claim?

I can't verify the quality of these studies but it seems that injury rates per 1000 active hours of crossfit at 0.27 - 0.74 [1] are significantly lower than more common sports such as running at 2.9 - 4.4 and basketball at 6.3 - 12.9 [2]

There is a physiological reason that you can't resolve the chroma at the same resolution as the luminance.
Academia has a pretty bad track record when it comes to nutrition advice. "Food science" is mostly the study of how to maximize food manufacturer profits, not how to construct a healthy diet.
yeah, cheers, i found out about newpipe today. i was pleasantly surprised that it's easy to import subscriptions into it.
You think an international merger couldn't affect 40k jobs while maintaining output (mergers ought to increase efficiency or output. If they weren't beneficial they wouldn't be done considering immense risks), but you think tariffs that are still plausibly temporary and which have only been in effect for a week would cause those 40k jobs? Why?
I've spent an unhealthy amount of time trying to figure out how I could DIY it, but never came up with a plan that I thought was likely to work.
Good point. When compressing a full video to a size target, I've always felt the 1080p, squashed version was still better than the 720p, less-squashed version.
Don't forget, Rust is written in Rust, so if you want to compile Rust from source because you don't trust the precompiled toolchain, you're in for a very long and arduous journey all the way back to the last version of the compiler written in OCaml, and then compiling a bunch of intermediate compiler versions using the previously-compiled version to inch your way towards the current version.

I'm not even sure how many intermediate compilers you'll have to compile to do this, it will take a lot of trial-and-error due to the compiler's own sources relying on features or bugfixes from previous versions of the compiler.
Why would one translate it other than to sell in that market?
Meh. Depends on the gym. Some emphasize form. Some don’t. Simple as that.
the lego brand is still very strong, and moulds are not cheap, so this is not something, someone would think up and execute quickly. only in recent years we see more product ideas of this kind, so i can't really imagine that it would have come up earlier.
CrossFit is fucking bananas, as an "exercise" as well as a cult/religion. Not trying to sound defensive of facebook at all but holy shit, CrossFit is crazytown. The company, the idea, and the customers.
But even after you decide to allocate << 50% of your information bandwidth to chroma, there may still be ways to use that allocation than are more effective (perceptually) than 2x downsampling.

The article is precisely about this: regardless of practical use, people don't follow the behaviour associated with supporting that practice, so it's worthless.

And people who would follow the correct behaviour...are probably capable of doing so without the EV anyway.
Yet the end of the article says that beer drinkers have been switching to wine and spirits. I don't think I trust the industry to be unbiased when explaining it's layoffs. Having worked for a corp that had a huge annual layoff season - it's all about saving face.
I often joke that the law is like an ill-defined programming language, with limited formal testing or pre- production error checks, hazy specifications, running on dynamically changing systems, with no standard compiler/interpreter.

In many ways I would have thought web programmers and startup people were some of the best placed minds to understand it :p
Wow, I enjoyed following their Instagram account and am sad to see it go, but good for them for making that decision.
Nice, thanks for the complete answer. It's a highly principled (and perhaps frustrating) design, in keeping with Rust's ethos.

By way of comparison, Swift overflows and returns a length of 0. Oh well.
Consumers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Would you tell consumers to stop complaining about the rock?
The problem is that the Chinese company copied their app, trademarked it and then petitioned Apple to remove the original app. And the general consensus is that it is not surprising a "Chinese" company did this. That is where the challenge is - the trust for Chinese companies is pretty low especially given they do these types of activities.
What is disingenuous about my comment? I think you're reading a lot into it. I just don't think this video qualifies as an interview in my opinion. If Trump or some other polarizing figure were given a platform to say whatever he wants with no scrutiny, most would (rightfully) not consider that an interview either.

Playing music off youtube is now the norm in my circle. It's definitely going to dent sales.

I don't like spotify and similar services, and try to buy my favorite music online if I can, but invariably am forced to torrents because it's hard to get where I am.

I'm amazed the music and movie business is finding it so hard to adapt.
Exactly. They wouldn’t go from China to the US. They’d go from China to somewhere closer to the economic factors of China - India, Brazil, etc

> You wouldn't say HHHHHHHHH. You would just say "10 tosses, all heads" - bam! You've just compressed some data! Easy. I saved you hours of mindfuck lectures. This is obviously an oversimplification

Oversimplification and exaggeration. Understanding Huffman encoding and deflate algorithm are just two five minute articles away.
There's a major nuance with our constitution that is extremely important to understand what it does, and does not, do. The nuance is that the constitution does not grant people freedom of speech, or even directly protect that right. You already inherently have freedom of speech by merit of existing. A government cannot grant you that right anymore than they can grant you the right to think. But what governments can do is to remove rights. The constitution restricts the power of our government to do that.

So the migration case you mention was a good example of this nuance. Congress can ban entry from whatever country they want. We could ban Canadians tomorrow if congress so chose. As for executive orders, the current precedent set is that the president is allowed to ban travel from any group so long as allowing it would be "detrimental to the interests of the United States." So the nuance there is, is Trump banning travel from these nations because they are Muslim majority, or is he banning travel from these nations because travel from these Muslim majority nations is not in the interest of the United States?

He tasked a 50 day review ranking and classifying nations on their migration controls as well as making diplomatic efforts to mutually improve the standards of these nations. After the 50 days he prohibited entry from the countries which were deemed threats, most of which where Muslim majority. Lower courts tried to then claim he did this because these countries were Muslim, and attempted to use his past words against him. The Supreme Court ruled that his words did not override an otherwise valid justification and upheld his order. [1]

---

The big point here is that the constitution can render laws unlawful, but it itself does not directly provide any protections from otherwise legitimate laws. For maybe the clearest example consider Kleindienst vs Mandel [2]. In that case the US chose to prohibit entry to an individual based exclusively on speech that would be perfectly legal if it had been said within the US. This case made its way to the supreme court and they upheld that this action was not a violation of the first amendment. [2] And it should be clear why (though the fact this made it all the way to supreme court belies my notion of obviousness here) - his speech was used against him but within the confines of other valid laws.

But China isn’t having dissatisfaction focused on it for their permanent seat? That’s rich. When China gives back Tibet, then perhaps we can talk about dissatisfaction about the U.K. on the Council.

Minus the coffee and ADHD this is what I do. I’ve always felt any method/system was pure overhead and just lost time in planning when I could be doing. That said, I’m not a complete animal.

Toss the post it in my desk drawer when finished as a record of work done.

Just wondering here --

Isn't crossfit different depending on where you go?

I believe it was invented by some European guy... who did stuff with kettlebells. And most of those exercises are good.

I think the American variant is the one that's dangerous. (Or am I misinformed here?)
> worse than useless

what is anyone's goal when partaking in exercise? And how about joining a club? Look at the CrossFit Games winners - do you think they've achieved nothing?

I don't partake in it, for the record. And I do acknowledge that many of the exercises seem ill-advised. But I made an account after like 6 years of lurking to point out that you're being pretty dogmatic in your criticisms of dogmas.
