Krav is widely taught to armed/special forces and law enforcement, who absolutely need a style that works in the "real world." To me, this speaks volumes more about its practicality and real world efficacy than its use by tournament/competition fighters.

Additionally, Krav has no competitive/tournament side to it, unlike most other martial arts. According to my Krav instructor, this is because the minute you add this aspect to a style, you then need rules around what is and isn't allowed. This goes against the core philosophy of Krav, which is "win the fight and get back home alive by any means necessary." It's about survival, and when fighting for survival you can't impose rules around what is and isn't allowed.

Much of what Krav focuses on (i.e., elbows, knees, groin/face attacks, etc.) isn't allowed in competitive fighting, so why would a professional fighter spend their time learning a style that they can only use say 50% of? Much better to learn something that was created with tournaments/competition in mind, where you can use 100% of what you learn, which is what I think most (all?) of them do.

So I don't think the "very few/no professional fighters learn Krav so it's no good" argument holds up, because 1) professional fighters would be wasting a lot of time learning Krav if professional fighting is their goal and 2) its widely used by many organizations outside professional/tournament fighting who arguably have an even greater need than professional fighters do for an effective self-defense methodology.
You can generalize that traditionally vaccines don't last in the body.

In this specific case, you can argue the lipid layer throws a wrench in assumptions, and then the onus is on you to prove some proposed mechanism for long term effect. Because the protein the vaccine targets is not human, the risk of the immune system turning on the body after training was rhetorical, because if the antibodies were targeting our body, it would have come up by now.

Another theoretical concern that has not manifested. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody-dependent_enhancement...
What was it good at 20 years ago? What is it missing now?
It depends on whether you're more interested in the theory of how things work or how to make nice sounds (two things that are correlated, but not 100% correlated).

It sounds more like the former; in that case Puckette's book is a classic (and free)

With GraphQL, I can generate most of my client libraries while, and when I am writing a web client using typescript, I have full type checking on my apps. This makes me as a solo developer so much faster than using rest, with 0 client library generators, and 0 type safety. If my API changes response, my front end generated library will fail compilation with a type error.

Moral of the ramble, new tech is great – sometimes.

If you take the numbers from the UK (here https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/) and filter to just the 2nd and 3rd waves (testing was poor in 1st wave; lots of people are vaccinated in the 4th) and compute the autocorrelation function between positive tests and deaths, you see a peak around 14 days.
Fun fact: I worked at a medium-sized music distributor, and Apple actually gives distributors a "score" based on how close they are to the style guide.

If your score falls below a certain threshold the time between delivery of your content to Apple and when it goes on the store is delayed because of additional quality controls applied to your content.

If you have a good score, it will go live immediately (assuming it's release date is in the past).

Lots of software development at this company was driven directly by changes to this style guide, since iTunes / Apple music were such a huge portion of revenue.
Exactly - now I don't know if that's ethical and predatory or not but it surely is discriminatory pricing for sure.
Yeah I feel like he has a fairly dim view of a typical lifestyle based on some faulty assumptions. He seems to think that “staying on the treadmill” would be done by most people primarily for vain or frivolous reasons. That might be a part of it, but many people want or need these things out of necessity. Withdrawing from from working life and living like an austere hermit is not going to fly for a family of 4, for example. Hell, he was not even able to make it work as a couple. Very few mothers are going to tolerate raising a family on 30k a year when they damn well know their partner can go out and make 5x that much.

I also really question the whole living on 30k thing with 950k in the bank. That could be invested into some monthly paying income ETFs that would easily pay double if not more what he was taking out. Without even touching the principal.
Having done it now for a year, it sounds like you're pretty happy with how it's going. Are you satisfied with what you've achieved? Or is part of the mindset shift that you're just not thinking in those terms any more and are looking only to the day to day?

In my working life, I've only ever taken about a month off at a time, but every time I've taken a longer break like that, I end up ultimately feeling dissatisfied with myself. I go into it with what a I think is a reasonable list of chores/projects that I want to make progress on, but ended up just puttering around— paradoxically, I get a lot more done when I have short bursts of time and have to force myself to bite off a manageable chunk and actually see it through.

I've heard people argue that a few weeks just isn't long enough to trigger productive restlessness, and that's why a sabbatical is more like 6-12 months. But this is what I worry about for myself if I were ever in a position to retire young.

It's not the most intuitive software to set up, especially on mobile where there are confusing filesystem restrictions from the OS, but once set up seems to work nicely.

I don't use the versioning / read-only features, so I don't know how well it performs for sort-of-backup purposes.

Nice website. On it you can also watch a nice video where you can hear (for instance) a psychiatrist posing as an expert to say "this pandemic is not a real medical pandemic" and "the COVID-19 vaccine has not been proven safe of effective...because there is not a clear definition for any new disease for which it can be tested." (https://off-guardian.org/2020/12/09/watch-ask-the-experts-co...)

You can also read this there: https://off-guardian.org/2021/06/29/pseudopandemic/:

> Covid 19 was and is a pseudopandemic. It was the gross exaggeration of the threat posed by a low mortality respiratory illness, comparable to influenza.

> The pseudopandemic was a psychological operation (psy-op) designed to terrorise the public. The objective was to accustom the people to draconian system of government oppression by familiarising them with the mechanisms of a biosecurity state.

What I don't get about fire is that I want to enjoy my life equally now and when I am old. I have no issues filling time without getting bored, but I don't feel like wasting any time of my current life in a job I don't really enjoy just so I may enjoy life more later?

However I also believe that fire is a symptom and not a solution. It seems to be mostly popular in countries with little or non existent pension security.
Also a Backblaze unlimited backups user. The Mac app still doesn't autoupdate gracefully on demand using something like the Sparkle framework (clicking "Check for updates" brings up a prompt which takes you to a browser window to download a zip file you have to open and perform a traditional manual reinstall). The mobile app (at least on iOS) is seriously lacking. The restore experience is minimum viable (compared to Arq and Time Machine). Are my files backed up? Sure. Do I feel like I'm getting value? I'd move to iCloud TimeMachine target if Apple rolled it out today as part of iCloud; the value isn't in the object storage (even Apple uses S3 and Google Object Storage on the backend), it's in the backup and restore experience.

Maybe my expectations are too high; I'm looking for a UX as beautifully put together as Dropbox (both on Mac and iOS).

EDIT: I will compliment the ease at which I can pick a filesystem tree and snapshot it to their B2 storage system (say, for snapshotting all of my Apple Photos Library at points in time), but it too has a lot of rough edges.

(using ~332GB of storage for backups, which is ~$20/year using Backblaze B2 vs unlimited backups offering; Arq offers five computers and 1TB of cloud storage for $60/year)

At this point any kind of business that does repeatable and sustainable space flights is good, is even if it's for the entertainment of the billionaires. Slowly and surely the process will get improved and the cost will go down and maybe some of those taxpayers will see space after all.
The UX of Apple Music has always been shockingly bad as it's Apple. Most notable playing a playlist then going to play something else ..ugggh & omg!

More detailed example... my friend sends me a link to their playlist .. i click it .. it starts playing then when im done listening to a few songs its time for me to say hey siri play something outside of the playlist. When I do Apple Music pops up this message saying do you want to keep the playlist queued .. with two options "keep," or "clear," what im done with playing it .. i want to hear another song without having to mess with my phone/read or understand a message while driving. Just save this playlist for me and ill go back and play it later ... horrible and dangerous UX(annoying when not driving)! Spotify is totally different and does as expected!

A better UX is just play what I asked no stupid pop up and when I say Siri start XYZ playlist it re-starts it from beginning and or Hey Siri start XYZ playlist from last played song. That is a safer UX and isnt Apple Music usage 50% in the car?

Interestingly i see im being downvoted and upvoted .. would enjoy hearing others thoughts! Had a fun arguement with a friend about this!
I went the "DIY" Arq/AWS Glacier Deep Archive route for personal backups. I have roughly 2-3TB of storage and pay about $5/month for it (I think a bit of that cost is just uploads of new backup data and that all churns through normal S3 until the lifecycle marks the files as Deep Archive later).

BackBlaze's backup option looks a whole lot more elegant and would absolutely be a lot cheaper for restores. The small price raise seems like a good business strategy from their side - I'm just here to remind people the "DIY" backups pathway isn't that much more inexpensive. I just stick with my "DIY" path because I'm mostly backing up my external time machine and media disks, and enjoy having full control over the encryption keys.

Let's me 100% honest here - if we cannot define clearly the psychological and medical definition of a burn-out (with accurate diagnosis), it is just fine to discuss in non-scientific context. The moment you call this a study and no one here is willing to ask hard questions makes me extremely disappointed in HN and the intellectual curiosity that usually drives discussions here. Why do I feel like there is some political angle to this? (labor rights).
I think the prospect of being very financially stable changes the equation in such considerable ways. To me, the difficulty in finding 'happiness'(not sure if that is totally a thing) or purpose becomes an interesting endeavor AFTER you take the work/job away. I think after you take away the job(in favorable circumstances), you have the 'what now?' moment, and thats not an easy thing to answer.

For most people that really isn't a viable option currently.
No, document formats are not turing complete. HTML for example can be parsed without any problem. However take this TeX snippet "\foo [bar]" and tell me if "bar" is an argument of "foo" or not, without running the macro (which maybe you do not have. This is the basic problem any TeX conversion program encounters. TeX is not a document format but a programming language. The only thing you can do with a TeX program is to run it. On the other hand an HTML document can be parsed without knowing anything about its content.

Exactly this "truly unlimited" sounds nice until you realize that you are paying for the average user of the service. In terms of cost it is good if you are above average, bad if you are below average.

Of course there is a real UX benefit to unlimited. You don't need to worry about what you can back up, project your growth and cost or hitting your limit. It is definitely simpler from the user side.
> only hang out with other vaccinated people

This is irrational. 1) According to available data, if you got vaccinated or pulled through COVID, you are well protected against severe COVID illness in future (cell immunity lasts for years). 2) You can get infected with variants both from vaccinated and unvaccinated people. You can't hide from unvaccinated people forever.

Discussions with an Amazon engineer about his journey and learnings
A lot of the COVID19 stuff only has a population size (NOT EVEN sample size) of like, 15. Ex: J&J's blood clot issue.

People make conclusions off of tinier sample sizes. There are plenty of scientific studies with just 50 or 100 people, but you need to keep the small numbers in mind.

As long as sampling was done correctly, then small sample size won't matter much !!

I guess New Mexico put the money down so that it can get it back in taxes and jobs once it becomes a "space hub". We see this kind of gov/public offers all the time to auto-makers for example and that's a boring sector lacking any kind of innovation.
+1 and same considerations apply for Linux users. Just charge people for usage above a certain threshold (high storage and bandwidth) and give "normal" people the flat rate.

You still should backup your NAS to the cloud per the 3-2-1 backups strategy (3 copies of data, 2 types of storage, 1 offsite copy). Synology has an app that can do that for you. If you're stashing away a lot of data on your NAS the cloud storage fees won't be too much cheaper than BackBlaze.
> More people, more problems.

My theory is that teams scale exponentially. That means two people working together are probably as productive as two people working on completely separate things. (By completely separate, I mean totally different goals -- your weekend projects vs. my weekend projects. Definitely not employees at the same company, who in theory have some sort of common goal.) But it means that 10,000 people working on the same overarching project are about as productive as 14 people working on their own thing.

This sounds bad, but if you treat it as a law of the universe, it's not so bad. If you want to do a project whose scope is the same as 14 unrelated one-person projects, you just need 10,000 people. It certainly seems to happen in other fields; there are no one-person teams building skyscrapers or new subway systems.

People's workarounds for this are trying to split teams apart so that they can be somewhere lower on that exponential where the actual ratio doesn't feel so bad (1/1 is better than 14/10000). Unfortunately, it doesn't really result in great products and you end up with the classic "big company" feel -- where the company has 3 different chat apps, 2 infrastructure teams, is a gigabit ISP but can't upload or download to its own products at 1Gbps, etc. The individuals working on those projects are slightly more productive, but the company as a whole fails.

So I guess if you work at a company of size N, and you feel like you're as 100%∗log2(N)/N as productive at work as you are on your personal projects outside of work, then you're doing great. The problem is that this feels super bad to software engineers, who probably got their start working alone in their spare time. But it's the law of the universe and there is nothing you can do to fight it, except hope that you can figure out a business whose scope is low enough where that log2(N)/N is pretty close to 1.

(2 may not be the right exponent, of course, maybe it's something like 1.8. You'll never get around the fact that communication paths goes up like the factorial. At a 2 person company, there is only 1 1:1 to have. At a 40 person company, there are 39∗38∗37...=39! 1:1s to have. That ain't great scalability.)
Well, I guess that if you use "Python" you expect to really have to deal with a snake then.

Yes, and in fact these transactions are often in cash.

It's true there's always going to have to be an initial transaction that's dirty. But if you have some (other) way to wash that, you can do all your following transactions as "art" sales, keeping the art in a freeport so it's never taxed as an asset and is just moved from one vault to another when these sales are made.
I don't believe it reverses entropy, if we consider the entire system to include all of time.
