Started running daily at 5-7 am for about 10+km in the last 30 days; During the day i think i get between 50 to 100 pushups in a day, usually 15 to 25 in a set.(which regulates my breathing) and probably 50 or less squats.

You get a better pump than an energy drink for the entire day, you don't feel anxious or shitty when drinking more coffee or energy drinks during the day[this may be also because i cut very occasional smoking to 0, which realistically was probably the cause]; And most importantly you think more clearly even though you may be somewhat tired when doing mentally-intensive tasks.(I remember my best days of doing logic were the ones i did the most effort, though that was gym and not really endurance)

Consistency is the key;Hoping i will get something like a lifting desk and a treadmill but I kind of also write, doing that during running seems kind of weird, at least right now.
I'm somewhat lucky, i started doing sports & meditation more seriously alongside with cold resistance training about 3-6 months before covid hit.And the sad thing is that i felt my immunity lowering (though not completely) when the restrictions were imposed.The overall most damaging factors of staying in-doors is that mental memory & cognitive capacity is affected if you don't keep training your 'reptilian brain' to navigate the world.(this is something i was very skeptical but learned anecdotally)
I'd like web browsers to allow user-controlled privacy deviation where a website in a sidebar is allowed to know the URL in the main pane. The sidebar website can run a group chat, run their own spam and comment moderation, and allow for discussion on the main window. I'm sure it's ripe for abuse, but my base case is a less biased place for people to talk about what's on a website on the main pane. Friends, companies, any tribal alliance can run their own service for the sidebar in a standard way to keep it easy to swap around. Basically it's a way to steal the comment section from websites.
I did my bachelors on a games focused compsci degree.

There were tons of people from different backgrounds, basically all there for the wrong reasons (artists to learn to program games, programmers how to program and make games etc) it's quite the endeavour to make a good game, the programming is the least of it. On top of that you need to actually be good at game design (which in my experience is the last thing people focus).
My story is similar to yours, except that I love trekking and volleyball but I moved to a place where there are no mountains and no volleyball teams to join
Please research shock and endorphin release and reconsider your argument.

I understand that many people enjoy the sensations related to eating highly spiced foods but as the article mention this can result in hours of digestive discomfort and sometimes there is a 3 day price to pay for indulging in such activity when expelling what was consumed.

I feel there is a reasonable argument that pleasure through pain is a self destructive activity along the lines of "cutting" or auto erotic self asphyxiation.

Glorifying such things is in my opinion has a negative outcome.
That's another type of fallacy. If there is no obviously horrific consequences, there is nothing. Either/Or Reasoning.

My position is that we don't know yet. Some harms may be transitory and people adult. Making arguments for or against without good data and reasoning is not helping.

Making your mind up prematurely makes it harder to change the opinion when the evidence comes in.
close() is typically a blocking operation. But when it happens in devfs, procfs, tmpfs, or some other ram only filesystem I expect it to be fast unless documented otherwise.
You're being oddly pedanti? He could mean any number of things with that mention of elderly people.
Would you hold that opinion if someone was declined access to a platform because of their skin color?
> DePaul University suggests that this number should be closer to 35 tons of CO2 for jewelry, which accounts for roughly 50% of global gold demand. It is assumed that refinement uses a similar amount of power to recycling; therefore, a total of 79.9 MWh is used for the mining and refinement of each gram of gold used in jewelry. Each kilogram of recycled gold produces 37 tons of CO2 and uses 31.3 MWh of energy. This brings the gold mining industry’s 2020 total to 265 TWh of energy used and 145 Mt of CO2 produced if we use the DePaul study’s numbers and account for 1750 tons of jewelry.

That includes the cost of making jewelry. Also, transactions with gold basically 0 energy.
The world's biggest EV market is China. 60% of their grid runs on coal.

It would be interesting if there's any climate savings from what they're doing with EV vs ICE given their infrastructure. I'm doubtful it's much if anything.
I have the same feeling when people talk about salaries, like 500k would be normal for a senior engineer. You could hire 5 people for that price tag who were equal or better in western Europe, let alone eastern Europe...
Of all the examples, reddit is the scariest to me. People think it's a bunch of nerds talking about geeky topics (or whatever) but as soon as a subreddit has a sizable user base it will be targeted by PR firms posing as normal users. More political subs are likely subject to propaganda ops bu8t Im not even going there.

Some things on the frontpage are clear advertisments, there has been evidence of shilling about certain topics by using post templates etc etc. but still somehow the impression persists that some dude from Idaho just posted his awesome BBQ recipe and the perfectly framed and well-lit tech equipment in the background is just coincidence.
Because the banners are targeted at EU citizens, not people geographically within the EU. You're required to show the banners to e.g. EU citizens living in the US.

ETA: under GDPR, blocking the EU geographically (e.g. via GeoIP), in combination with requiring user registrations to specify that they’re not EU citizens, would be considered a “good-faith effort” to avoid collecting the data of EU citizens.
Twitter isn't the government. Twitter isn't the government. Twitter isn't the government.

Like it or not, they have a perfect right to terminate her account for any legal reason, including breach of contract. For the record, Twitter doesn't even need a "reason" as long as they don't terminate her for an illegal reason.

This might be difficult to understand, but it's not censorship.
I believe where you are interpreting it one way and the rest of us are interpreting it another is perhaps due to missing the quotation marks.

...deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18...

Davidson, the CEO in question, directly said "huge, huge numbers" and "primarily working-age people 18..." in his address. However the author of the article, Margaret Menge, added the "that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying" piece.

Essentially Margaret, as explained in another comment, used a literary construction to tie the quotes together. The sentence is being used to convey that contrary to the popular narrative that the pandemic is only killing the elderly, here we have evidence that it's affecting other cohorts as well.
If only there was a trust less way to sign something on behalf of a person, project, or organisation. /s

Instead of hating "web3" for all the bad actors using it, why don't we embrace web3 for what it can be? I see so much potential for it to replace all the current social logins that everyone hates, all the awkward digital (PDF) contract signatures, and ad ridden blog spam that could be funded with digital microtransactions.
> It sounds very strange that the death spike is "over" 3 sigma, which should mean over 3 standard deviations, which is really unbelievable, to me this looks like an artefact of some sort

Why does the fact that it is larger than 3 standard deviations suggest to you that it must be an artifact? If the death rate is normally very stable then the standard deviation will be small, so it will be easy for any unusual increase to exceed that.
Okay, but do you think that a single person following her Twitter is going to say, “Wow, Twitter censored her because she was wrong”?

Of course not. They are going to be livid and more determined in their belief. Anyone defending vaccine should be angry at Twitter for making the situation worse.
The loop optimization you point to can be done for unsigned loop counters even without exploiting undefined behavior. It’s part not why the standard C practice was to use unsigned loop counters.
He says it's going to cost the company more but could there also be an increased incentive for covered employees to increase their coverage and thus increase the premium revenue to OneAmerica? I am generally dubious when the CEO of a (private) company that's bottom line is so closely tied to death rates publishes an article with such a nice round number increase in the death rate.
we will choke ourselves out before that happens
What would government censorship look like to you? If someone criticizes a government policy, and a private platform censors this person after nudging from the state (which isn't in dispute), is that not censorship?
>Shi and Daszak have increasingly stonewalled

It's really over time that they subpoenaed Daszak and acquired and published all records from EcoHealth. I realize that would be annoying for them but really with millions dead the right to know what went on should take priority.
Because he is making claims of fact based on his available data. I am saying the statement is incorrect

<shameless plug> I love this stuff. So much so that I spent years researching and writing a book about it: "Exploding the Phone", a history of phone phreaking and the telephone systems the phreaks hacked on, from 1950-1980. http://explodingthephone.com/ </shameless plug>

Regarding MF being an informal or loose standard, it was described in detail in the the 1955 AT&T publication "Notes on Nationwide Dialing" (http://explodingthephone.com/hoppdocs/nond1955.pdf, pdf page 95) and the 11956 AT&T subsequent technical publication "Notes on Distance Dialing" (http://explodingthephone.com/hoppdocs/nodd1956.pdf, starting pdf page 82) and then in subsequent editions of "Notes on Distance Dialing" (1968, 1975) and then in "Notes on the Network" 1980. It was also specified in several international standards (CCITT, now ITU). For those interested in this kind of stuff, this page will be of interest: http://explodingthephone.com/docs.php

Search of autovon docs: http://explodingthephone.com/search.php?q=autovon&sort=relev... Some interesting stuff there because you get a sense of AT&T, FBI,, and NSA being worried about this stuff. Also, this particular hack is interesting -- it describes a clever technique called guardbanding to get into AUTOVON from the civilian telephone network: http://explodingthephone.com/docs/dbx1032.pdf
My dog keeps my base activity in shape by demanding a mile walk in the morning and another 1-3 miles in the afternoon. I'm very fortunate there to work from home in a position that allows me to take extended breaks whenever I need to (bonus, walks are often a great opportunity to think on a problem, or to let long-running processes like load tests or data analysis run undisturbed).

Additionally, I rejoined my very social powerlifting gym from grad school. Having other people keeping me accountable and encouraging my progress is really effective at keeping me at the habit, so I've been maintaining a 4x a week schedule at that (1-2 hours gross each time, but lets be real it's a social gym)
Quite a lot.

* Syntax - in svn different commands use different conventions on how to use revision

* In svn moving directories breaks "subdirectory as branch" abstraction. I.e. there are no actual branches. Only files and versions of them.

* "Svn up" can fail, leaving working copy in broken, unpredictable state. This breaks abstraction, revealing that svn is little but copying files around. Git forces you to save your work and only then merge. That doesn't fail even when it fails to merge cleanly.

But if the government is in talks w/ the social media about setting their policy, and they use that policy to ban other politicians, is that not censorship?
They probably figure it will be no problem, who will still be using Exchange in 2100? Same thinking as the guys who set up all those databases in 1975. And at least once it overflows (again) it will be somebody else's problem to fix.
With now 100% WFH I could tell I was deteriorating so I adopted a rescue dog Who Must Be Walked daily (~ 50 min) and an Apple Watch to track my exercises (at 3 x 99%, chasing 100%). It helps that I live on a hill and the park is downhill.

It was hard to find the motivation before but my four legged friend has made all the difference.
What's the hospitalization rate and death rate in NY? A large part of why those numbers are so low are vaccines, in addition to masking and omicron being less virulent.
I don't care about the musings of idiotic politicians (and most of them are indeed idiots), but it rubs me the wrong way that Twitter is preventing the people from hearing where their tax dollars are going, and that Twitter has decided to be the arbiter of truth for society.

Also, according to the article, it seems like her strikes were for subjective comments. If this is the case, that strikes me as doubly wrong. According to the article:

> Twitter suspended Ms. Greene’s account after she tweeted on Saturday, falsely, about “extremely high amounts of Covid vaccine deaths.” She included a misleading chart that pulled data from a government database of unverified raw data.

The phrase "extremely high amounts of Covid vaccine deaths" seems to be a true subjective opinion if there were some non-zero number of Covid vaccine deaths. People might disagree on whether an objective number should be subjectively described as high or low, but it seems like that's an opinion.

Also, why describe a chart as misleading? Why not describe it as false information? There's a big difference. Whether you disagree with her data or not, Twitter deciding that a government chart is "misleading" is kind of horrifying as a precedent because data could still be true and marked as misleading. Are they going to ban politicians from discussing budget charts or crime statistics in public debates if they decide that it's misleading with no objective basis?

> The company had issued her a fourth strike in August after she falsely posted that the vaccines were “failing.”

Whether a government policy is failing or not seems highly subjective. Is this really vaccine misinformation?

> Ms. Greene was given a third strike less than a month before that when she had tweeted that Covid-19 was not dangerous for people unless they were obese or over age 65, and said vaccines should not be required.

Based on the survival rates for people in these categories, many people would say that this is accurate and based on a subjective risk-management analysis. It's certainly less dangerous for young and non-fat people. Did this really merit a strike even by their convoluted logic? Certainly not.
I suffer from severe ADHD, and the only thing that has helped me is a better understanding of my personal dopamine production. I follow a TikToker who talks about his ADHD in terms of "follow the dopamine." It reminds me of the montessori programs, where you let the brain decide what it wants to do.

Allowing my brain to follow the dopamine - essentially auto rotate when attention goes off the rails - has finally helped me to implement some of the other ADHD tricks. All that to say, I think dopamine plays a significant role in attention and wish this article explored that a little. Social media is a dopamine spike. I think it's why we swipe, we're in a Skinner Box of sorts. Swipe. Reward. Swipe. Reward...
I hate that Twitter always hides behind vague TOS terms for bans like this.

They can, and should, ban all these lunatics, and they shouldn't need any kind of ridiculous TOS justification to do so.
Quality of the estimations is extremely shitty. I've heard everything from 1% to 5%. And for persistence into adulthood, anything from 40% to 15%.

This is mostly because diagnostic criteria are extremely up for interpretation, and it usually comes down to the doctor if you get a diagnosis or not. I read one particular study that attempted to correlate location with ADHD incidence, and then it turned out that it came down to how the local specialists felt about it.

Reminds me of the reason the DSM comittee rejected cPTSD from inclusion into their officially-opinionated manual. "If we add this, too many people would be affected, we simply can't pathologize this many people at once".
> The whole thing literally works on competing on consuming more energy.

I know this is pedantic, but the competition is about computational power. Energy is a significant input. Let’s not ignore the benefit that the more computational power that is spent in the competition the more secure the blockchain is from 51% attacks. Maybe 134 TWh is too high of a price for such a limited use technology such as bitcoin. Maybe we could do the same or more with the less energy intensive PoS technology that ETH 2.0 will bring to the mainstream. Blockchain is the single largest threat to banking, and that doesn’t come without a price.
What a strange way of conversing with people. I never suggested that and you must know that I don't think it, so why say it? It shows bad faith.

I think that ceteris paribus the lower housing rents are the better. How to help bring that about is an interesting policy question. I suspect that socialisation is the best option, but increasing the stock and rent controls could work.

If we return to the specific case of AirBnb and my original suggestion, the aim would be twofold:

1. Limit AirBnb rentals to reorientate the housing stock away from rich international tourists to locals.

2. Tax AirBnb rentals to subsidise local housing.

I would point out that Barcelona has already done (1).
Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to have any kind of discourse on a topic like this because people's opinions are too diluted.

When Twitter does an action like this, or any other media platform, it is rarely done by a single person on a whim. It is a collective decision by a number - 2, 3 or maybe more - of people.

The crazy part that this decision is solely one-sided. Twitter doesn't care if this person is right or wrong, their understanding is that this person is spreading misinformation and that's it. And in a case like this, it is most certainly amplified by the stature of the person in question.

Who says the information is right or wrong? Well, I'd bet that it is also a collective of people. In this case, it is probably scientists and health professionals. Who, of course, in due course could also be found out to have been wrong.

But, Twitter is clearly omni-sentient and can see that their decision is the right one.
I use it all the time. It's nothing you can see "in use" since it's just a shortcut for opening a new Google Spreadsheet, like an alias in your address bar.

Good question. I'd say it has to do with how public the communication in question is, but I'd be interested in other opinions.
I'm not sure how that's relevant. I'm sure it's a giant Bell curve

Oh, I actually like trekking and would do it if there was nice landscape where I live. But there isn't, and walking in the concrete jungle is stressful (though less so than using public transportation!).
Sure, we get the arguments why people prefer Bitcoin mining to other possible uses for energy. We just don't see it as remotely plausible that this leads to a net increase in renewable energy available for things which are not Bitcoin mining (especially since Bitcoin demand for energy which costs less than expected block rewards is inexhaustible by design and gravitates towards the cheapest power source).

Difficult enough to find real world examples of places whose existing power demand became more economic to convert to renewable sources as a direct result of cryptomining, never mind to assume the scale of these ventures plausibly exceeds the amount of fossil fuels burned to mine Bitcoin or provide power for other activities which needed to find additional power as a result of Bitcoin mining.

Were you by any chance near Philadelphia? The native pronunciation is weird for other Americans: something like "wooder".
A few years ago Matthew Crawford wrote a fantastic book about this, "Head The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction". I recommend it every chance I get. The part that changed how I feel about these things for ever was about how the slot machine companies have been rigorously testing how to make them maximally addictive to the point that it's now normal for players in casinos to piss themselves and just keep playing.

Psychologically addictive substances are real, and they can be digital, and they can wreck our lives just as well as psychologically addictive drugs.
Seconded. Absolutely superb. I use Audactity and ffmpeg for analyzing sounds all the time and had only intuited these foundations, which are described in such a straightforward way here.
We should stop mining gold too. Or at least only mine as much as has practical value.

Thanks for the link!

Investment. 46.64%
Jewelry. 36.83%
Central banks. 8.58%
Technology. 7.95%

According to the stats you shared, less than 10% is used by central banks (currency), about 37% in jewelry, and about 47% for investment.

I don’t think it’s fair to lump in jewelry with currency and investments. Much of the discussion I hear argued around cryptocurrency is in comparison to fiat currency. Investments are something again different in my opinion, though I might be convinced otherwise if I saw the those making the comparisons to, say, gold, and making cogent, nuanced points.
