Intensity is 80-90% of the determinant of a muscle's adaptive response to load. If you plan to get somewhere near your genetic potential in strength and size, you will need to use rather high intensity to deeply fatigue ("inroad") the muscle. But you also have to not repeat that stimulus for days to a week, to allow recovery in people like us with middle of the bell curve genetics. The ideal profile for building strength is exercise that is intense, brief, and infrequent. Yes, it is unpleasant for a couple of minutes per muscle group, once or twice a week. So what? Do you enjoy brushing your teeth? Or do you just do it and get it over with? Note, this is for strength training. Skill building for sports, or general physical activity, is a different protocol, depending on the activity.

One of my favorite recent book titles is "If You Like Exercise ... Chances Are You're Doing It Wrong: Proper Strength Training for Maximum Results"[0], which is another book about the work of exercise genius Arthur Jones, inventor of Nautilus and MedX equipment.

Why should we care about single family property taxes set at the time of purchase?

People move, and sell, or pass away and their families then acquire the property and must decide what to do. There’s a reasonable question to discuss about prop 13 passing from parents to children, but in general property turnover on single family homes in the US are 5-7 years. Focusing on this part of prop 13 is almost intended to cause people to fight each other rather than the real problem.

Corporations don’t pass away. Even when they are acquired by other corporations, they try to block reassessment of property. I can’t at the moment find what happened with the taxes after all of the bank acquisitions in 2008, but I do remember them fighting any increases based on the fact that the property did not change hands.

There are other corporate properties in CA that also have never increased their tax bill, such as Disneyland. So as we consider removing prop 13 protections from corporations in 2020, let’s remember that corporations don’t die, but people (sadly) on the other hand do. Any correction in the market of taxes on your home is setup almost exactly the way we want. People on a fixed income don’t need to worry about paying more, while people benefiting from the current economy can.
Someone has already said it I think but ethics without a way to stand up and say something is wrong is just doing lip service to ethics. Sure our engineers have ethics but we will get some new ones if anyone complains.

All of this is about making money and nothing else. Each quarter make these numbers at all costs. That is what almost all companies are. Amoral beasties that do whatever is needed to make more money.

If they could have killed 300 more people and still kept the planes in the air, the CEO, wallstreet and anyone who held the stock would not have given a single fork.
Yes, but the grandparent claimed that

which is not true, since real compensation at the bottom of society has also gone up.

I'm sure the crystal devs have done a great job, but again let me echo, just because I can write code at an intermediate level, doesn't mean I'd have a clue where to start or what to do in a project like this. I suppose you can never learn if you don't jump in, but it would be very difficult and time consuming. Maybe if there was a way to specify exactly what needs to be done so those less saavy could be directly pointed towards where to help? I'm not sure how this is really done.

Thanks for the reasonable take! I think payment ensures a few things:

- Makes the business sustainable. You know we'll be around because we have a "revenue > costs" model.

- It switches the incentives from "the customer is the product" to "the product is the product". You know how we make money.

in my experience, sleep is the first problem to be solved. If a person can't get good quality and quantity of sleep nothing else helps. First sleep then meditation to tame the chronic stress response.

nothing else - fasting, diet, exercise etc helps before sleep.

btw alcohol and caffeine screws the quality of sleep.
I have tried to figure it out a few times but it's so unintuitive I always forget after a few days.
Land owners neither made the land they own nor do they make it valuable, yet the state protects their "right" WITH violence to exercise full control over it and exclude others from it.

Those taxes should be orders of magnitude higher. If you didn't make the land, you're renting it.

If you have all of the possible information for that guess already, then yeah.

If there are still some unknowns that you could resolve first to get more information, then guessing should still result in a mine.

A reminder that Hacker News has an "assume the strongest interpretation of one's argument" idea. (In case it's not clear, expanding with my thoughts below).

What is the primary effect of rent control? Everyone renting before the enactment pays proportionally less in rent than those after enactment.

What is the primary effect of Prop 13? Owners who purchased before 1978 pay proportionally less in property taxes than those who purchased after 1978.

These are huge, (in my view) obvious parallels between the two. Both policies encourage the market to become sticky: renters won't leave, for fear of giving up their cheap rent as time goes own; for landowners, they are discouraged to sell, knowing an identical property would raise their annual property tax expenses. As property values go up, it further encourages landowners to hold, becoming a negative feedback loop on the housing supply.

One thing I don't understand about caffeine addicts is why they don't just separate out "caffeinated drinks" into their components: "caffeine" and "drinks." You don't have to get your caffeine one sip at a time. Take a caffeine pill in the morning, then drink whatever you like. (And then you won't be staining your teeth or dehydrating your gastrointestinal mucosal lining by constantly exposing it to a diuretic, either!)
Have you also tried going a whole day without eating, say 8pm as your last meal and then no eating until 2 days later at 8am, basically 36 hours.

Doing that once a week or so is pretty effective. There's a whole host of benefits to longer fasts as well. Helps so much with appetite control, resets your hormones, plus autophagy, etc.

Ok.

There is no virtue in using less memory for the sake of it. If a desktop application is taking 100mb, you can have a lot of those running before modern boxes start to struggle.

Most of the work done during servicing of modern cars is simply inspecting and testing mechanical parts for damage. EVs still have mechanical parts (brakes, suspension and drive train) that can wear out and fail. EVs still have brake fluid, coolant and oil which needs to be checked and replaced, but not as often.

If anything, I see it will be more profitable for automakers as they will continue to charge the same service prices as they do now for less and simpler work. Plus they can make up new maintenance like Toyota have done with their 'hybrid battery health check', which is a paid optional extra, but extends the battery warranty for one year.
At least be honest and say that this is your guess / speculation on the motivation of Pine. Not sure how you can claim that donations like this are "invariably" of selfish nature. Some people actually do want to help others for no alterior reason.
He’s right: big cities are not good places for a nice work/life balance and a nice lifestyle. They are places for serious people. But I don’t like being serious, and I don’t like working out of balance with the rest of my life.

That is not how your original post read to me. It sounded like you came from the dynamic/scripting language world and are trying to hammer those features into C. You sound quite proficient, I'm not trying to shit on you or anything. I'm tired, it's late, and no one cares but it sounds like you want something like an mbed that runs python or FreeRTOS? Why reinvent the wheel if someone already did this? Or is it simply that you're stuck using C on your "weird" platform? In that case, I'd say have a look at Nim, there's an embedded branch. It's a dynamic language that compiles to C89 so perhaps it's buildable on your platform. If it's a personal project then have fun.
It's funny how the "NIMBYs" are apparently very unpopular around here but the tax incentives that create the NIMBYs are very popular.

v = v + a * dt;
p = p + v * dt;

Mostly an experiment. I wanted to get a concrete idea about whether it's possible to make a living producing digital products like these (and whether I could do it :)). I don't have that answer yet (too early), but now I have some evidence that something like this can sell.
I’m not sure why we’d bother to figure the cost? People have been donating their time to open source for decades, without compensation.

I’ve donated some time to the Mozilla Common Voice project: https://voice.mozilla.org/en

If a lot of people donate a little time, we’ll come much closer to making voice recognition a solved problem.

Google has a great project where they’re trying to improve voice recognition for people with disabilities:

Taking a brief look at the react code [0] and comparing it with the svelte code [1], it appears the svelte code handles much less. For example the react example handles the following among others:

- programmed to handle arbitrary conversion targets (probably the most verbosity here)

- handles input validation

- handles labels for inputs

And some others. It would be very easy to spin up a similarly terse react example which doesn’t have that much bloat... I imagine it would also get bloated for Svelte as you handle more and more cases. I’d be interested to see a more complex Svelte example and a simpler react example.

The WinForms example [3] would be super difficult to scale at any level because you’re hardcoding the location everywhere. I’d be interested to see a more modern UWP app on there to compare :)

I do really enjoy the abstractions React provides. I never experienced something quite like it in my time developing native iOS, Android, or Windows apps.

I think bloat on the web is horrible for users for sure, but part of that is a lack of a better target for web development. You’re effectively stuck with some flavor of interpreted JS if you intend to build a complex interactive application on the web. It’d be nice if there was a compiled alternative.

Plus, way too many people try to make their simple websites dynamic. If it’s static, render it server-side.

While skilled software engineers are still rare enough to be coveted, programmers are a dime a dozen these days, many desperate to get their foot in the door to break into the industry. Licensed engineers, on the other hand, are hard to come by. Professional engineers spend years in school, then years training under a licensed engineer, and then finally take an arduous test with an abysmal passing rate to get their license. They aren't about to risk their entire career to satisfy some asshole manager, because the entire business depends on the engineer, not the other way around. It's a small community and word gets around.

I have a few various things I'm trying to achieve in 2020.

- Reduce meat consumption significantly. I do enjoy meat and cooking dishes like slow roasted meats but I started eating beyond meat/fake meats in 2019 and loved them. In a couple of dishes I literally couldnt tell the difference. I think when things get to the point where they taste as good/better than the product they're intended to replace, why not embrace them? I still like meat and am not seeking to become fully vegetarian but will definitely cut down to just 1-2 times a week, high quality butcher/organic meat and reduce my impact on the planet in some small way.

- Go completely cashless. I was just about there in achieving this in a couple of months in 2019. It's not a hugely difficult challenge but I think it's a fun one to try and it's very doable these days. Starting Jan 1st I'm going to see how far I can make it without holding real money.

- Take more 3-4 day weekends and travel more. I live in a city with great public transport and don't own a car so it can be tough to travel without thinking you have to take 2+ weeks off from work, but renting a car for a weekend is trivially cheap if you plan ahead a little bit (<$100 including gas).

- The usuals of trying to get fit, lose a few pounds, more regular gym. Need to find some way of making the gym fun as I really don't have any interest in it even though I know it's good for me.

- Make more music. I'm really getting in to Ableton and Maschine and whilst I'm really 'level 1' at the moment I enjoy it loads and want to dedicate 2-3 nights a week to just making tunes, it's very relaxing and it's great to be doing something that's more actively producing something rather than passively consuming yet more netflix, HBO etc.
In general, I don't think drone aviation has reached its tipping point, so I'm glad things like this are happening in advance to control airspace. We can't even agree about where scooters belong in cities, so I don't want "move fast and break things" to be happening over my head. Whether or not it's the right thing will get figured out in the long run.
Windows 95 followed an extremely standardised approach to design. This allowed for incredible ease of use, but people get tired of standards and want to set themselves apart...

This is not always good for UX, but new and different GUI's are an inevitable progression from homogeneous ecosystems like; Windows 95, Bootstrap, Material...

People just want to be different from the standard

I wholeheartedly support (1). Earlier this year I lived closer to work and biking to work every day is extremely natural, and I easily close every ring on my Apple Watch with basically no effort. Now that I live farther away from work and my commute involves a car, it is a struggle everyday to close the rings.

Every time Prop 13 comes up, I like to tell the story of my own neighborhood.

On my block are four almost identical houses. They are all about 1800sq ft.

My neighbor, who is the original owner from 1962, pays $X in tax. My neighbor on the other side, who bought in the 90s, pays $10X. I pay $20X (bought in 2008), and the one who just moved into the last house pays $40X.

We all get the same services from the city, but one person pays 40X the other. The new owners are basically subsidizing the neighbors, despite being the ones who have to spend more of their income to pay their mortgage.

It's completely ridiculous.
if not, the PR may fail.

remains to be determined whether people can maintain intermittent fasting for years and potentially accrue the benefits seen in animal

Conclusion is always a good type of abstract.
If you want a technical approach to weight loss, you might read The Hacker's Diet[0], free online. He even has an online weight tracking app that is great for smoothing out the fluctuations in daily weight measurements[1].

The cardio is not necessary, but, alas, the strength training may be. If you are losing a large amount of fat by dieting alone, you are saying goodbye to pounds of muscle, too, unless you are suggesting to your body that you still need that muscle (strength training). Sarcopenia is taking your muscle mass fast enough as you age; don't let it speed up because it is a bitch to get it back once it is gone.

If you just want the simplest diet to lose weight, start eating a lot of protein[2]. Fats and carbs have raised the energy balance of typical processed foods, so reverse that trend in what you eat and you will lose weight while eating ad libitum (at will).
