To facilitate continuous muscle growth you need to continuously increase the resistance over time, and you need to do so within about 8-12 repetitions per set to stimulate hypertrophy. In simple terms, you need to push your max all the time; as you get stronger and develop more muscle, you need to keep increasing the resistance to reach the next level. This is very well established in scientific studies.

Simple logic dictates that this is is impossible with pushups. You cannot change the resistance without changing what muscles you activate, and an averagely built male can do more than 8-12 pushups per set from the very get go. The only way forward is to increase the amount of pushups you do in one go, and that throws hypertrophy out the window.

This is why pushups is a rather useless exercise, beside the fact that it's difficult to do correctly and causes injuries (doing them on your palms can fuck up your rotator cuff, and doing them on your knuckles can fuck up your hands and wrists).

But even without scientific proof, I think most people have this experience with pushups (whether they've thought about it consciously or not): the people who do them are rarely very big, they're the thin traditional martial-arts type, at best.
> There is also a form of rape that is not forced?

Some instances of statutory rape are entirely unforced by any common definition of 'force'.

(The law doesn't see it that way, but the law also sees statutory rape as a strict liability offense, meaning that lack of intent to commit it isn't a possible defense. In short, if someone lies about their age to have sex, they just got raped.)

A couple of notes: if you care about performance, use $.data(), i.e. instead of $('body').data(key, value) use
$.data(document.body, key, value).

Also .data() lets you access HTML5 data-* attributes. Note, that doing so values are converted to proper objects if possible. See http://jsfiddle.net/wLfJV/1/

Unrelated, but worth reminding: don't use $(this).attr('id')— this.id is simpler and much much faster: http://jsperf.com/el-attr-id-vs-el-id/2

In Groupon's case ($6 bn offer), Twitter's case ($10 bn offer) and now Color, I feel as if Google got lucky those companies didn't want to sell, because it seems they would've been a huge waste of money. Google seems to be pretty happy about over-spending on these companies, but is extremely cautious about over-spending for patents that could save Android in the long term.

> Had this worked on you it would have at least gotten you to admit it is a big deal.

But as other commenters noted, how big a deal it is does not have very much to do with the volume of $100 bills.

I can do the same visualization with bananas. Apparently the US imports about 4 million tons of bananas per year[1].
One shipping container contains 17 tons of bananas[2], and measures about 5x2x2 meters [3]. So we need 2.3e5 containers. Stack them on a football field, and they stretch one kilometer into the sky!

From this, we conclude that the US banana dependence is a much bigger deal that the (comparatively trifling) budget deficit. Of course, it would be a different matter if the deficit was printed in $1 bills instead of $100 bills...

Lean iPhone Game Development (in 11 days): Day 10
I've never heard this before, but it is a good quote.

One of the problems that people don't understand about funding research for new science is that... it's new science. People don't always know exactly what will happen or come of it. It could be an expensive lesson on how not to do things, or it could be an exercise of the mundane, but even the spectacular failures can bring about paradigm shifting change.

More importantly, people come to believe that there is often only one goal of any mission and often dismiss the collateral benefits from attempting to solve a really hard problem, especially because they are often hard to truly quantify.
This response reeks of inaccurate presumptions about my beliefs, options and reasoning. Not to mention, you aren't even the guy I was replying to. But I will respond none the less because I believe in open conversation.

>That you fixate on minor website inconvenience to these organizations ("vandalism") while ignoring the scale of the injustices going on shows you're hardly able to even think ill of these organizations.

That you fixate on minor website inconveniences to these organizations ("vandalism") and parade them around like some kind of political message or instrument of change shows just how biases you are. Please give me one piece of evidence (hell, I'll even take conjecture) that these acts of "vandalism" are even related to the "horrifying" injustices the big bad government and security forces commit. How have they helped your cause? Have they stopped a single injustice? Or raised awareness for a reputable cause (besides them selves)?

I think not.

If you want to talk about "horrifying abuses" by the government "with its boot on my neck" then lets talk about that. What does LulzSec have to do with it? Parading them around as heros of a cause they clearly have little concern for and even less connection to only serves to weaken your position on a legitimate issue, government abuse.
Gosh that's really neat.

This is another arrow in the quiver for Javascript as the assembly language of the web.

Exactly. Stand in front of a mirror holding a sheet of transparency (such as you would use for an overhead projector) in front of you so that you can read it. Look at the transparency and note that you can read the words. Now look at the transparency in the mirror and note that you can still read the words.

If you rotate the transparency (left/right, up/down, corner/corner, whatever) so that you can no longer read it directly, you'll see that the same rotation has occurred in the mirror.

The thing with the ants is I only heard they were doing it, I never heard what they found out, and they never made it sound any fun. In Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! he talks about his own ant experiments in an enlightening way, with a useful application of getting them away from his food without using poisons. We need more of that.
Then we have a government whose powers are so great, and restraints so feeble, a single group of bad actors can manipulate its machinery to deprive an innocent man of his rights in the furtherance of a private agenda.

Meta comment, when I read it I thought 'you've invented a spreadsheet interchange format?'

Having looked at the technology in depth I can appreciate the notion of building into the document the computation that went into it. This could be a killer way to distribute component data sheets where all the graphs were 'live'.

That being said, it scares the crap out of me. Why? Because I've got Frame documents which are unusable (there is no available version of Frame which will read them, and no legal way to obtain said version) This is a particularly insidious form of bit rot. I save PDF documents on CD with a self contained C language implementation of a PDF reader that can read them and a set of fonts that work that reader.

Without the equivalent for CDF I worry about having critical information (or simply relevant information) that cannot be viewed or used. At least with PDF if you print it out the paper version is still usable. Not so if you don't have an open source version of Mathematica to interpret what you read.
No, but (IIRC) compilations that take serious effort to produce have a copyright on them, e.g. the phone book.

I will try my short explanation that I have been telling myself since the first time I heard this question. Imagine a mirror on the ceiling. From the same understanding that we are judging the image to be flipped left to right, we will now notice that the image is flipped top to bottom.

Explanation: Imagine a stick without width whose image is reflected in the mirror on the ceiling. If we superimpose the image on the stick, haven't we flipped top and bottom?

The infix @ operator is just right-associative application, so a @ b @ c is synonymous with a[b[c]]. It plays the same syntactic role as $ does in Haskell for writing pipeline-style code.

It bothers me how he thinks that education funding would have to suffer for science. Why not just defense?
So the abuses LulzSec perpetrates are acceptable because they aren't as powerful as the big bad evil government? Or because they appear to hate the government as much as you?

I also could not help but notice you ignored my other points and questions, so ill sum it up.

How has anything LulzSec done been constructive to the cause you claim they represent?

Not anymore, you can add the keyboard in directly from the OS since iOS 4.
It's not perfect, but it does allow me to have a memorable password for everyday use that is improved by the two factor authentication, and a more secure but unmemorable one for use by applications. (Admittedly I could achieve the same by using a password safe compatible with my phone.)

It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.
This "de-bubbles" Color in my mind. Not crazy to get a high valuation when you have Google interested in buying you for significantly more.
I happen to love Google's two-factor authentication, and, every so often, I go through and just revoke all of the "application specific passwords", just to clean things up, and then recreate the five or six that I actually use.

It feels great to know that I've got a single console that informs me what applications and machines can access my gmail - and I don't have to worry about an old laptop out there somewhere with the password cached.

And - what does the author propose as an alternative if not application specific passwords? How else do I let my iPhone's iMap client read Gmail?

The only feature that I'd like more, would be the ability to limit the cookie to something less than 30 days. I'm pretty used to typing in my OTP at work multiple times a day to login to various systems, so having google request me authorizing my system at the beginning of day/week would be fine.

Other than that - I think Google sets the bar in terms of web application security.
The site had a nice look overall. The pattern in the header drop-shadow is kind of cool, but more distracting because it looks like it is being accidentally covered up and a bit busy.

I agree with what others have said regarding the color scheme being a bit too tan overall.

I also keep looking at the logo and thinking that is a bit too busy, and I don't really understand why it has the floral shapes emerging from it.

The beveling on the image frames also feels a bit heavy, especially with the dark drop shadow.

In general the imagery and the copy take a bit of analysis before getting a handle on what the company is about, and even then I am not sure why I should choose you for my vacation planning.
Additionally, the CDF player desktop app for Linux is a 200 MB behemoth. When I saw this, I immediately canceled the download. (For comparison: Adobe Reader is about 70 MB.)

This rhetoric is very non-specific though, which isn't usually a good feature of visualizations if you want them to be informative (rather than just rhetoric). Any amount of money beyond those that a normal household deals with would take up a lot of physical space with current paper currency, because we don't use bills above $100. Historically, inter-bank transfers actually happened using very large notes, or precious metals; now they go electronically, so paper money isn't set up to deal with macroeconomic sums.

If you want to impress someone with how obscenely large some dollar figure is, you can use exactly this "giant pile of cash" technique from any political perspective! Federal debt is a mountain of cash; Wall Street bonuses are a skyscraper of cash; Google profits are a Manhattan apartment block of cash; Medicare spending is Saturn V rockets full of cash; corporate tax evasion is a stack of dollar bills going to the moon; George Soros's bank account holds 140 metric tons in $1s; etc.

When these same are governed by a thinly disguised global oligarchy that increasingly looks like a forom of internationalist neo-feudalism and where these same dukes and what not invade and kill abroad in the name of the painfully obviously disregarded principles and stated ideals, we as a are going to continue to face insecurity and injustice as a systemic outcome of our duplicitous selves.
> what does the author propose as an alternative if not application specific passwords?

How about limiting each password to a single use? I generate a password so I can check my e-mail with my iPhone - and after that, the password should become unusable. (In fact, bonus points if I receive an alert that someone has tried to use that password.)
The article mentions writing down one of your application-specific passwords, but this is a silly argument, as the entire intention behind the application-specific passwords is that they are only ever seen/used once.

You copy/paste the password it gives you into Pidgin (or whatever you're using it for) and then click "hide" on the box that displays the password, and then you can never see it again. If you trust the machine you're entering in the password so little that you're worried about keyloggers (which copying and pasting might take care of, but I don't know enough about how copy/paste works or how keyloggers work to say), then (1) you should probably not be using that machine to access accounts that you care enough to use two-factor authentication on (because for all you know someone could have installed remote desktop software that would allow them to take control of your accounts the second after you log in, for example), and (2) you can revoke the application-specific password so that they will never work again.

Obviously, using application-specific passwords does make your account less secure, but without them, every single client application, e.g., Pidgin, would need to implement Google's two-factor authentication system in order to be usable. As a user, you are free to choose not to use application-specific passwords at all and get the same security you would if Google had chosen not to allow these application-specific passwords; you just won't be able to use any client applications that don't support them.

I find it hard to believe the current system -- a secret scientific sanity check by a couple of people -- is the best we can do as far as gatekeeping in this day and age.

I would much rather see original research managed OSS style -- published directly to communities of interest, critiqued and discussed openly, with revisions and explanations and discussions and raw data and source code and everything in all its ugly glory right there with it.

There is a temptation under the current system to regard the contents of journals as absolute truth on account of their curation behind closed doors. We used to feel that way about newspapers, too. The truth is that credibility comes in degrees, and it's much safer to be able to see the guts of the operation.

It is offtopic, but I respect LulzSec specifically because I think they have the potential to drive home the concepts and ramifications of computer security, a topic which I find particularly interesting and important for personal reasons.

As for them attacking non-government targets? I didn't address this at first because you are making too many assumptions about myself for it to be very interesting, however since you asked: 1) See the above. 2) Doesn't effect me, so I don't give a shit. 3) Funny as hell.

To be honest, I think it is very poor. There is no consistency. It looks like the designer has tried to use every tool in the designer toolbox, from the flowery logo and drop shadowed text to the bevelled buttons and decorative borders.

Superficially it looks okay as there are some quite nice individual elements but they don't fit together. A case of a design being less than the sum of its parts.

I also counted no less than 14 different treatments of text (font size, font type, color, etc). That is way too much and perhaps explains why the design looks overly cluttered.

The dark borders around the main photos are too heavy for the lightness of the rest of the design. The drop shadows make this worse. Get rid of them both.

Sorry to be harsh but you did ask.
If these are just minor cases of "vandalism", then why do you care enough to write about it? You lend validity to the post you respond to by responding to it.
