It is hard to say whether FB or CrossFit has more influence in this situation.

I have friends on FB who are fanatical about CrossFit. They write and post photos about workouts, events, and achievements. They seem to have limited use for FB otherwise.

With their sizable national (and increasingly global) community of dedicated fitness enthusiasts, I suspect CrossFit has better-than-even odds of launching a wildly successful sports-and-fitness-oriented social network. They would be able to instantly attract a large member base, have a presence in every metropolitan area, and those people would recruit their friends onto the network.

Edit to add: from what I can tell, CrossFit is a social network already. Except its a real-life network with people who spend a lot of time together.
If you're interested in the topic of medical history of psychedelics, I would highly recommend "How to Change Your Mind" by Michael Pollan of nutrition fame. He decides to experiment with psychedelics for the first time in his late 50s, and the book describes his journey as well as changes in personal philosophy. He masterfully combines history lessons and personal experiences to paint an informative picture of where this topics might head.

In NYC, for example, it is now perfectly legal to get a heavy dosage of ketamine administered by Columbia University doctors (see https://www.columbiadoctors.org/specialties/psychiatry-psych...)

Decoding sure, but I was saying about encoding, my Macbook mid 2015 comes with "Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB" and takes 25% cpu to capture screen with Quicktime, while newer MacBooks >=2016 come with HEVC, which after some searches I found out is also called H.256[1][2], and is not just in Macs[3]

> And what exactly caused the wealth inequality?

I never mentioned inequality. The purchasing power (and wage) of the average American and European working has either declined or stagnated. What China has done pulling millions out of poverty is amazing, taking nothing away from that. Lets not pretend those BS 8% growth numbers year after year did that, a lot of that wealth came from the west.
Yes, the time scales quadratically in the key size while the space scales linearly (times a bit of logarithmic overhead on both). I think of the space as the limiting factor, since an attack that takes months to run is still worrying to cryptographers.
>There is precedent. They don't let kids use slot machines, even with parental supervision.

Exactly. Lootbox mechanisms are gambling gamified for kids, which makes it even more peverted than actual gambling. Which can lead to pathological behaviour and addiction.

This is no small matter. Companies who built business models on abusing the psychology of adolescents should be held accountable.
I thought about this more this week.

How do we solve the trusted app problem on PCs?

We don't install whatever random thing comes up in google. We look for a trusted recommendation.

App stores are just teaching us that it's ok to install any app, which is not necessarily the best security model.
I am not really interested in politics, but I am curious why countries abstain. They surely have an opinion; my countries (born in NL, live in ES) had NL abstain and ES vote against the UK. Now I can understand why Spain voted; a lot of people are of the opinion that UK left EU and they should suffer a lot for it. It's a underbelly thing but it's quite accepted here. They want Gibraltar and they want to see them (UK) suffer for what they messed up (opinions vary but even my most angry brexit voting friends of mine would not do that in a re-vote). That the Netherlands didn't vote is also not a surprise; our gov has no backbone (see MH shoot down/Russia/Olympics crap; same jellyfish still is the boss; he is smart but people want to see a lot more action, not just moving with the tides) and just tries to be everyone's friend. But France & Germany? That must be political but why? Is that because ties to UK/US or ?
I think you're getting "office" confused with "warehouse" and "laboratory".
Being "Illegal" isn't black and white, especially in the case of ACLU vs Clapper, which was about bulk metadata collection through FISA.

Originally dismissed by district courts, then successfully appealed as overreaching the PATRIOT act the dismissal was vacated and remanded back to district courts where it was eventually effectively dismissed during Smith v Obama when the program was sunsetted.

On the topic of war crimes, despite claims that war crimes were committed, no formal trials convicting anyone of war crimes came from either Manning's nor Snowden's revelations, despite investigations thereof [1]. This isn't just a nit-picking point, or handwaving away corruption or cover-up. If people have problems with the process, the same process that has revealed War Crimes, then that's a separate subject.

That's an answer to a question in the House of Lords. It needs to be read between the lines. Government doesn't effectively receive anything but according to the second article cited by Wikipedia, Paul Kane, who originally runned the .io domain said that the Crown Bank was receiving money :

"In a second conversation with Kane, he reiterated that “we do remit money to the Crown bank in accordance with our agreement. We pay X amount per name.” Kane did not say what “X amount” was, due to confidentiality."

Meanwhile it seems that in 2017 Affilias has bought the .io domain for 70 millions dollars...
Sounds like you're saying the nutritional researchers do have their story straight on this and countless other issues, but just aren't communicating it well.

But if the researchers don't communicate effectively with the rest of us, or with our physicians, then why do they even bother going to work in the morning? It's not my job to read scientific journals, and the doctors are as confused by the barrage of junk science as anyone else.

I think it needs to be considered that you are an outlier within the advertising business. To wit, every advertiser I have worked with (especially ones that are high up in a company) believes that they need as much data on their customers as they can get their hands on.

Likewise, a car with power steering doesn't get you around faster than one without. Since you can't buy a car without, you are worse off, particularly if you can't afford the one with.

Same for most things. Fancier clothes are nice, but just not necessary.

This is especially pointed because income stagnation is not across the board; the average has been going up at a relentless pace since 1950. It is just that the extreme rich have taken all the increase, and left the rest of us to wallow in the swamp.

This is not any kind of accident. It is a deleberate consequence of enacted policies. Wages are kept just high enough not to trigger demand for change.

Been doing Crossfit since December.

Had to sign a pretty sensible waiver upon joining.

There was a section describing the symptoms of rhabdo, letting me know in NO uncertain terms that it was a potentially fatal medical emergency. Honestly, I'd never heard of it before reading that waiver. Rather than encouraging me to experience rhabo, Crossfit gave me some crucial warnings there!

Safety's a big deal at the Crossfit gym I go to. I'm out of shape and the instructors pay special attention (and suggest reduced/modified versions of exercises) to make things work for me.

"There is a lively online community posting selfies
from hospital and who consider a rhabdo diagnosis as
a badge of honour, showing their dedication to exercise."

Erm, ah, that's hard to say. While I'd certainly agree that intentionally injuring yourself is utterly insane, I'm not sure that'd be my interpretation of any of this. Like many hobbies and professions, athletes engage in shop talk that borders on gallows humor.

Imagine two violin students comparing their painful callouses. Or software engineers exchanging horror stories about late-night debugging battles with Internet Explorer 6 or talking about screwups where they accidentally deleted some live data. Or firefighters comparing all the scars they've accumulated over the years.

Athletes are no different. Shit happens, sometimes you get hurt and then you laugh about it because it's all part of the journey. That's how you get through it. Screwed up my ankle playing tennis the other week. First thing I did was share it with my fellow tennis buds. We help each other and share the pain and laugh.

I don't want to stereotype Hacker News readers, because a lot of engineer-types do enjoy sports and exercise, but I would imagine there are a lot of HN readers who would have a hard time understanding athletes laughing about their injuries since they've never been there. Just like a pro football player might not be able to understand how/why HN readers willingly spend those late nights hunched over a keyboard. For those of us who straddle both worlds, it's kind of funny, because we know the folks living in those worlds aren't nearly as different from their counterparts as they think they are.

Definitely be careful about choosing such a place and the services they offer. When I was running a solo startup I used a mail handler that promised email notifications of all arriving mail. But those notifications never came, I got busy with other things, and an important document sat in a mailbox for months. I should have been more diligent about following up, but the net result was that a possible large deal became a guaranteed nothing, due to my reliance on a service that failed me.

Sequential scrub turns "let's read all the blocks in the order we see them in the metadata" into "let's separate this into a read and a dispatch phase, so we can group things we dispatch into sequential regions and make spinning disks less sad at the amount of random IO needed".

It's quite a dramatic improvement for pools on hard drives.
Several years ago in San Francisco I started volunteering at a nonprofit theater, doing ticket checkin, will call, ushering, and things like that. Since then it’s grown into a much larger part of my life, and I travel all over the West Coast stage managing for cabarets, circuses, magic shows, and stuff. It’s still all volunteer, mostly low budget local artists who can’t afford to hire high-end professionals. But it’s been amazing, completely revolutionized life in San Francisco for me. Frankly it’s the main reason I haven’t left the city, as I’m kind of burned out on all the tech stuff here. But my circus friends are awesome. If you or anyone else wants to see an entirely different side of San Francisco and make some new friends in the arts community, ping me. Contact info is in my profile.

While many aspects of CrossFit are bad (well mainly doing weight lifting against time constraint) there is nothing special about CrossFit that causes rhabdomyolysis. As long as you listen to your body and don't start by pressing gas peddle straight to floor it is fine.

I do not actively participate in CrossFit, but sometimes I add some CrossFit-like sets into my training.
Sure, but if you have the file, you could generate these ahead of time on a more powerful machine.

Yes, that is why djb‘s post quantum RSA proposal uses public key sizes on the order of one terabyte (i.e. 8 trillion bits) instead of the more common 4096 bits. I have the slight suspicion that the proposal is slightly tounge in cheek, though.

See https://cr.yp.to/papers/pqrsa-20170419.pdf
This paper may be relevant to your interests: https://cr.yp.to/papers/pqrsa-20170419.pdf

TL;DR: yes, just moving from 2048 to 4096-bit keys will not suffice. But, if you make a composite key out of many 4096-bit keys (such that the key file is now ~1Tb) then then can achieve a reasonable level of security. And yes, I do think the paper is (at least in parts) somewhat tongue-in-cheek!

A counterexample, using VRAM on my desktop's Intel's iGPU seems like a waste of VRAM when it already barely manages to decode 1080p. It heavily depends if it's worth, and given most of the machines are on the lower end of performance the choice is sane right now.
Bittorrent tries to maximize the benefit of its P2P nature by not sending the same blocks to more than one peer.

i.e. I'll send block 1 to one peer, block 2 to another peer. Then I can send blocks 3 and 4 to them (respectively), while they each send each other blocks 1 and 2.

Considering that there are now cloth diaper services where used diapers are cleaned and reused, where of course you get a bunch of clean diapers, not necessarily the ones your babies had used, I'm sure that reusable food containers can be cleaned and sanitized properly.
Part of the reason for this is that the US system uses common law which means that it changes over time based on previous cases.

The Chinese system is based more on the German system where courts have less leeway and follow the laws more than interpret the laws.

Pretty great comment, thanks for taking the time to write it.
There's a grotesque disparity in per-capita CO2 emissions, even between highly developed nations. America produces 16.5 tonnes per capita, Britain produces 6.5 tonnes, Switzerland produces 4.3 and Latvia produces 3.5. Turning the dial down on our consumption is eminently possible without meaningfully compromising our standard of living, we just need to give a damn.

> In the gaming world, they never really got the subscription thing worked out decently, the titles are extremely expensive and now fragmentation is annoying consumers there too.

Haven't they, though? In mobile, free-to-play model has solved most of the friction. For PC/console, Steam and Origin are doing a good job too. Most games on Steam cost less than $50, and that's weeks if not many months of entertainment.
Given that said port predates feature flags and has no source posted, making any assertions about what it actually does versus claims to do seems premature.

Spinning up an EKS cluster is something you usually do once, and if you need multiple EKS clusters then you can bootstrap others from an initial cluster that you deploy with eksctl or AWS CLI.

There's an episode of Stargate SG1 ("Absolute Power" in Season 4), whereby one of the main characters in imbued with alien knowledge and leads a program to launch a constellation of satellites, ostensibly as protection for Earth against hostile invaders, however it turns out to be a massive weapons system used for geopolitical advantage.

CorssFit isnt a social network, its a cult.
Ive had multiple friends join the cult, including one friend whos wife divorced him because he didnt share her love of CrossFit. The end result was always the same - chronic injuries usually only seen in professional sports people -> move to multi-level-marketing / influencing for any product linked to fitness / inspirational pr0n.

Very excited about this. What's interesting is the deployment mechanism, where they almost use the momentum of the rocket to "fling" the 60 tightly packed satellites away from the booster, and then after about 3 hours they fire up the Krypton ion thrusters and start the course correction phase. IIRC the only other times this deployment mechanism is used is on tiny CubeSats where they opt for this more conglomerating type of deployment due to the durability of the CubeSats.

Will definitely be getting service for some family members in Northern Africa where incredibly slow speeds are charged high prices if Starlink can compete on price.

I thought SSIM was not a very good metric for measuring quality? My impression has always been that the VP9 encoders optimize for these simple “objective quality metrics”, therefore they do well on those metrics. But encoders like x264 don’t, so they do not do as well on those metrics.
