I experienced a period of forced inactivity which caused a calcium buildup in my right knee. It was very painful to bend past 15 degrees with my weight on it and would collapse under weight. A friend I had who was a big fitness buff suggested I start walking stairs to fix it.

I started out with 5 minutes a day for the first week, then 10 for a week, then 15. I climbed a single story flight of stairs and then turned around and descended, repeating for the workout time.

After a month, the calcium buildup was gone. After three, my legs were so strong I felt like I was bouncing on springs when I walked. I was taking the steps two at a time when I climbed and didn't get winded at all. Great aerobic workout!

> today’s American democracy (one of the best versions on the market right now)

Having a choice of two whole parties sure doesn't sound as 'one of the best'. Countless countries have have ten or more parties in their parliaments, meaning there's a much greater chance you can vote for someone decent.
People (demos) and power (kratos) tend to not go well together, which is why the US was founded as a democratic Republic with strictly limited power. Many of the founders viewed the state as a necessary evil.

Ben Franklin referred to the US as “A Republic, if you can keep it." I think it’s fair to say we haven’t. Power is no longer viewed as an evil to be restrained, but the solution to our problems.

We need to realize the state is force, and force is rarely the solution to our problems. In most cases it creates more problems than it solves.

> People need to be 100% sure that when they donate money to "running costs", it would not end up being used for something else like your new iPhone or a vacation in Mexico.

So what if it does? Yes, if you explicitly say that all donations will be used for site maintenance, then maybe. But even that could include labor?

In any case, the point is moot. Very, very, very few open source projects take in enough donations from the general public to pay for a new iPhone. Most are very lucky to get $100-$200 in a year.

The German wikipedia article claims that you shouldn't let gauge blocks stick together for longer than 8 hours at a time as they are prone to cold welding.
I wanted to donate to such a non-profit and I found three comparison websites, quite different from each other, that all recommended Trees for the Future: http://trees.org/ .

They've been working for twenty years, already planted 150 million trees, and most importantly, train people in Africa to create forest gardens while lifting themselves out of poverty.

Now they plant eight trees per day for me too. <3

Right, this is the weird thing about it. A democracy that has been captured by a few powerful groups is still 90% as good as one that hasn’t, as long as the people still believe that peaceful change is possible.
> to another a map is a better choice.

Are you thinking more of JS or another functional scripting language than C/C++? C doesn’t have map, so it’s not an option, and in C++ it’s called something else.

In JS, I so wish that I could switch to functional constructs like map permanently, but map and foreach are much slower than loops, an order of magnitude or more for tight loops. I’m still forced to use loops in performance critical code, even if I consider map a better choice.

Coming back to C++ after having been in JS land for 5 years, C++ feels constantly difficult to use, and all the names for the functional primitives don’t seem to make intuitive sense like they do in JS.
This article is moronic. We are supposed to learn about human nature from Leni Riefenstahl, a propagandist whose films were designed to make the Nazis look as good as possible?

You know what is unsustainable? Fascism. Literally. It had no economic program, and it flared out dramatically fighting conflicts with every other country. Its soldiers had to be fueled by methamphetamines to prosecute this war. And on both ends it was bookended by democracy.
No, this is totally different.

There is no reason to believe that the NSA doesn’t have the ability to access iPhones [0]. Either through explicit help from Apple or otherwise.

Tim Cook’s stance was within the fiction of constitutional order. The FBI wanted to pretend that they couldn’t access the phone and bully Apple to give them access. This is to:

1. Legitimize their own access
2. Be able to, more easily, use the courts to punish someone (instead of droning a foreigner)

That last one is important. The DEA is known to use (unconstitutional) parallel construction to prosecute drug smugglers. If they have legitimate access to your phone, it’s easier to pretend that they obtained their evidence legitimately.

Tim Cook also has an interest in maintaining the aura that iPhones protect your safety. There’s no reason for you to believe that w/out having the source.

[0] or do you believe that no one working on the iPhone has secrets that the NSA can’t leverage? Or that the richest security service can’t manufacture custom chips as needed to clone the devices SSD? Or hasn’t capped the chips in the iPhone already? Or run it through the most through fuzzer?
I doubt Dropbox gains much from deduping between customers, but I'd love to see some data to the contrary. Last I knew they weren't sharing that, but most of my data is unique to me and anything I'd want to encrypt is unique to me.

I think they do gain a lot from selling 2TB to people using 30GB and selling additional users of the same <3TB of data to enterprises. (That's gotta be pretty sweet profit if they have takers - $12.50 more a month for zero additional storage and a little more data transfer.)
This is not a criticism of QBism. It's an explanation of what QBism says, as far as I understand, and how (at least in this case) it's no different from the standard QM description: the system of interest is initially in a known quantum state described by one wave function, we perform a measurement, the quantum state is now the eigenstate corresponding to the outcome of the measurement and described by a different wave function. In standard quantum mechanics the change in the quantum state is called "collapse of the wave function", in QBism it may be called "mental readjustment" but I fail to see any substantial difference if that "mental readjustment" comes together with an actual physical change in the system ("the measurement is solely disturbance").

I just find that it's misleading to say that

> in neo-Copenhagen interpretations like QBism the apparent collapse is merely a reflection of an agent's belief update process.

or

> in some interpretations the wave function is "really objectively out there", but in others [presumably including QBism] the wave function is "just a good way to store my beliefs about the future".

I’ve played with Carp a bit and have made minor contributions to the language. I’m not sure if there’s been any investigation into using it as an embedded scripting language yet, but there are definitely folks using it for embedded programming based on the community chats. I think someone has used it for programming modular synthesizers (or something like that)? At any rate, Carp definitely supports interfacing with C libs and you can choose to disinclude the standard library which is useful when you have limited space.

More generally, the language is a blast to use! IMO it grants one the fluidity and expression of lisp with the confidence one gets from a Haskellesque type system.

If you have any questions, the community on Gitter is very helpful.
The one that got me is this:

uint32_t foo = 1;
foo <<= 32;

Here, I figured that foo would always be 0. Wrong. It was always 0 with GCC, but this is undefined in the spec and code like this can have a different value in clang. I actually had to make a security update to my little open source project because of this (although the code I wrote did not manifest the bug in an insecure way, even with clang).
> Precedent is foundational to western law. The first judge to make a decision based on a law sets a precedent that informs how that law is interpreted in the future. This is a feature, not a bug because real world situations are messy, complicated, and dynamic.

The problem is then nobody actually knows what the law is until after the judge decides it, at which point they're essentially creating new rules ex post facto and applying them to past conduct. It's manifestly unreasonable to apply a rule that wasn't known until five minutes ago to actions that took place last year.

> Trying to enumerate every legal interpretation and eventuality based on today's conditions and technology results in a law that won't be meaningful 5 years from now.

Which means you may have to pass a new law in five years -- that's not a bug. For that matter, if you expect things to change significantly then you may want to make the current rules expire in five years automatically, or hold off legislating anything at all until you see how things shake out on their own.

Hmm, quite the contrary i think. Abusive exes will be even more motivated to find and use such an app, at a time when the public will be oblivious to their existence. I think it is inevitable for these kinds of apps and websites to start circulating widely. As always, there will be an initial shock and outrage, after which people will realize it's actually a toy and learn to dismiss it as fake pictures. And if the pictures are really good, i hope this tech can then be used as plausible deniability to someone who had her actual pictures stolen.

The article is not trying to make a new intellectual contribution to the existent thinking on the subject. It's to serve as an introduction for the benefit of people who may lean far too much in the direction of taking our democracy for granted–as a God-given right that can never disappear. I would guess that the Times felt like such an introduction could be useful, given the current political climate.

It's an easy and compelling introduction, rather than a rigorous intellectual treatise, in order to increase the probability that people will actually read it and thereby have something added to their perspective.

For instance, for those (such as myself) who are unaware of the Dostoevsky quote, it may be useful to see it: "There is no more ceaseless or tormenting care for man, as long as he remains free, than to find someone to bow down to as soon as possible." It may not be strictly true. But it is useful to consider that such a perspective on human behavior is, perhaps, not to be immediately dismissed as useless and ridiculous.

The way the article writer describes The Triumph of the Will is accurate (I've seen it a couple times); most people haven't seen it, or even heard of it. The reference to the "collective ecstasy" well-depicted in the film does, after all, reveal a human phenomenon that goes beyond Nazis and which it would be good for more people to understand, as a warning.

The Athenian process for protecting their democracy against populism is useful to think about, because we, in taking democracy for granted, tend not to see any risk that such a system would be useful for addressing: "When one of the citizens was becoming a bit too popular — too much of a charmer — Athenians would vote him out of the city for ten years by inscribing his name on bits of pottery. It was not punishment for something the charmer may have done, but a pre-emptive measure against what he might do if left unchecked. Athenians knew that they were too vulnerable and too flawed to resist political seduction (their complicated affair with Alcibiades gave them ample proof of that), and promptly denied themselves the pleasure. Man-made as it is, democracy is fragile and of a weak constitution — better not to put it to the test."

Again, it's useful to present such ideas to people who may not have been exposed to them before. I had already known these details about Athens. But a year ago, I hadn't, even though I studied and loved Plato in college. And I'm 62 now.

Unfortunately, your hosting provider gets to see

1. Tunnelled & encrypted (and in most cases, easily identifiable as VPN) traffic coming from your VPN client to your server

2. Untunnelled traffic from your server to whatever server endpoint you're visiting.

Correlating the two, even when it's a massive multi-user service, is not difficult for a hosting provider with half a clue to do. Especially when handed a police order (which they usually have an obligation to not tell you about).

I'll add a bit to my story...It actually involved levitation...

As I said, I was up coding all night. At the time I had a U-shaped desk flanked on all sides by bookcases full of books. Lots of databooks filled these shelves (for software guys: These are books published by chip makers containing their catalog of chips and technical details on each one).

I was working on a the microprocessor code for a high power motor control. The hardware, 100A power supply and test equipment where all on my desk, turned on and operating. I was using a very large ceramic wound resistor in a bucket full of ice as a test load. The bucket was on the floor and connected to the motor driver via very large conductors (think jumper cables).

At 4:31 AM I felt a single jolt. I know because that's when I looked up at the digital clock up on the shelf immediately in front of me. It was a Radio Shack clock with red LEDs for the digits. It was part of their home automation system, with buttons on top to turn on and off various satellite plugs, lights, etc.

The jolt felt like The Hulk shoving the house or something like that. One sharp short jolt. My first thought was "this is going to be bad". I had been in a couple large quakes but this jolt had a different feel to it.

That's when it started. And what was bad about it is that the vertical component was significant. Well, significant enough to launch me and every single book and object on my bookcases straight up into the air. The compressed air spring in my chair acted like a pogo stick. I literally got launched upwards, I'll guess at least a foot, if not more.

My last memory of this portion of the event was floating in space with all of my books in the air at the same time. It was very, very weird. Power went out, I fell to the ground and so did everything else around me. The shaking was violent, as I said before, like a train going through the house.

Thankfully the motor driver wasn't hot because I was not driving the load at the time. It ended-up on the floor buried under a pile of National Semiconductor databooks. That would have easily been a fire had the thing been hot and power not gone out.

I later found a massive 8 inch drive that was on a shelf across the room landed just inches from where I fell to the ground. That thing could have sent me to the hospital. Amazing.

I still have the clock somewhere.
There seems to be a perception that anything running on the JVM is going to be slow and look bad. Considering I work with Java every day in a gigantic Swing application, (IntelliJ IDEA, if you didn’t guess) and it has great performance for all the things it’s doing for me, that seems to be an old holdover from early days of Java. Also enterprise apps, which of course are going to be bad and slow. At least the JVM has real threads for background work which don’t take another 100MB of RAM like an electron background worker :)

EASA demands additional changes for the 737 Max
People often ask my wife and I how we manage to raise our 4 daughters, and homeschool the 3 school-aged ones. The assumption is that it must be a ton of work.

The key to making this work is our parenting style. We promote autonomy _a lot_. For example, my youngest was eating on her own at ~10-11 months. Sure, she was making a mess at first, but now she's 1.5 yrs and she's pretty good at this. Then you see the "exhausted-parent" type spoon-feeding their 3yo toddler, and wondering how we manage.

This translates to a lot of other areas (dressing up, housekeeping, hygiene, schoolwork), and while it's still a ton of work, it's much more manageable. The bonus is that we're raising confident, independent women as a result (because they know they can do it themselves).

I believe the current trend of helicopter-parenting / parents as slaves to their children is actually harmful to society, and that we're currently raising a generation of children who won't know what / how to do anything on their own. People don't magically become independent at 18; it's a process that starts at a very young age.

Try talking to your girlfriend along these lines, you might manage to convince her. And for what it's worth, showing the kids that the laundry doesn't fold itself _is_ father-of-the-year material in my opinion.

We can learn a great deal about human nature and the banality of evil from the Nazis and their propaganda - they weren't aliens or demons after all. Also, a lot of modern cinematography has been influenced by Leni Riefenstahl's techniques.

I agree with you about the unsustainable nature of fascism, but its constant need for plunder and spoil applies just as much to the imperialism of Europe and (to a lesser extent) the US.
