thats a good reason, however a lot of code doesnt need to do these kind of contracts. They are perfectly ok being more accessible to developers than enforce a lot of correctness.

Which is where a lot of the JS/Ruby/Python frameworks operate. You're not wrong - my point is that a lot of places, it is not necessary.
The consequence of breaching the social contract is a complete loss of credibility for the state. It's essentially defaulting on its obligations. All democratic societies essentially operate on faith, on the belief that the government will keep its promises. The population's willingness to pay taxes vanishes real fast the moment the deal isn't upheld.

The question everyone at working age will face is why they should put money into a system when what they're getting back is less than they put in. For old times sake?

People may forgive hardships when there is some external factor, but this is something that's been known for decades.

> All this said, you didn't explicitly state that you believe this contract should be upheld at all costs, but that seems to be the only case where that point would be relevant in the first place.

Its not snake oil, its a statement from a scientist who attaches musculoskeletal monitoring equipment to people on a regular basis and knows exactly how capable the average person is at activating specific muscles on command.
"mad"
Three paragraphs earlier in the article:

"So, how do you perform a soleus pushup?

In brief, while seated with feet flat on the floor and muscles relaxed, the heel rises while the front of the foot stays put. When the heel gets to the top of its range of motion, the foot is passively released to come back down. The aim is to simultaneously shorten the calf muscle while the soleus is naturally activated by its motor neurons."

I think that gives the reader enough to replicate the Soleus Pushup - perhaps an indication on where the effort/force is to be emphasized/felt would help.

Looking up "heel lift", the Soleus Pushup reads/sounds a lot like a seated heel lift. see https://www.livestrong.com/article/137423-heel-lift-exercise...
The increased interest return on the $10k is insufficient not enough for me to sign up for and then manage an account at treasurydirect.gov. Of course, it could be for others.

My philosophy is I keep a certain amount of physical cash (in case electronic payments go down), I keep digital cash (in case my income gets disrupted), and the rest is invested. I already have the digital cash in an FDIC insured savings account earning 2.4%, and I do not need to worry about splitting it up into per year amounts or when I can and cannot withdraw it and how much.

It is more of a simplicity thing I guess for me, and the abnormal inflation calculations which lead to the last 18 months of exceptional i bond returns probably will not last.

After all, anyone can say anything, and even point to lottery winners, but I want to learn from the best what it takes to actually win the lottery. I myself am not a success coach but the other day, someone very successful told me that anyone can succeed at a startup. All they have to do is get their billionaire parents to give them a small loan of 10 million dollars, and let them iterate through and fail a few times. The key is to go back to the family trough and then you can get bailed out multiple times. If your parents are not billionaires then there are ways to fix it. This can work for anyone. He showed that such an approach actually pays off because in the end you make back everything you lost AND you can now afford an amazing car and TV!

It's funny how that works. I have a small electronics/firmware consulting side business. I used to make up wire harnesses for a customer, buying the wire, cutting to length and stripping insulation, crimping on connectors, etc. It was slow and my quality wasn't the greatest.

Then I looked around and found a company that would provide me the correct length of wire cut to size with the right terminals crimped in place all for less than I could buy just the bulk wire in the first place with no setup costs. Minimum order, IIRC was 100 pieces, which is peanuts.

Blew my mind!

At least I only struggled for a month or two before realizing that there had to be an easier way :-)

You're a second class citizen as a contractor compared to the FTEs. More money might be enough compensation but it's hard to shake the feeling of being disposable.

Feeling can go both ways. As a contractor you have little invested in the success of the project or company. Only thing that matters is a reputation for your next gig but ultimately 1 project doesn't make or break that.

Not going into the US-centric gun debate and assuming that guns are simply tools, isn't it reasonable that gun owners need to monitor the regulations? If you operate heavy machinery or run a chemical lab, I'd expect you to keep a close eye on upcoming legislation and rules. I'd not be surprised if a food truck operator would need to keep track of more rules than gun owners.

> Hamilton’s research suggests the soleus pushup’s ability to sustain an elevated oxidative metabolism to improve the regulation of blood glucose is more effective than any popular methods currently touted as a solution including exercise, weight loss and intermittent fasting.

I want to believe in this idea, but all I can say is that's quite a claim.

I could believe that it's more effective at glucose regulation than exercise, but to say that it's more effective than weight loss seems peculiar because loss of fat mass (which I'm assuming is what is meant by weight loss) is a result of downregulating how much glucose and fat (insuling being present in response to glucose) can enter cells. Maybe there's a logic to that statement, but it seems to be comparing a cause to an effect. Presumably, if the soleus pushup lives up to its name, it would have a negative effect on fat mass. If blood glucose was poorly regulated, absent a failure to produce enough insulin, fat loss would be a sign of better blood glucose regulation.

> The new approach of keeping the soleus muscle metabolism humming is also effective at doubling the normal rate of fat metabolism in the fasting period between meals, reducing the levels of fat in the blood (VLDL triglyceride).

> “Accepting that prestige is a good measure of excellence means that we’re not looking into the history of how things became prestigious,” Gonzales says. The founding of elite US universities is “intertwined with exclusion”, she adds. For instance, many institutions have a history of seizing land from Indigenous groups, or originally derived their wealth from or supported their infrastructure with the labour of enslaved Black people.

These are non-sequiturs. The research question here is whether faculty are hired from those prestigious schools above and beyond the rate at which they would have been hired based on other signals of their potential as researchers, which, presumably, are related to what school they go to.

I am not seeing how schools' historical relationships with marginalized peoples bears on that question.

I believe it was Gary King who said that nepotism and meritocracy are very hard to distinguish in academia. You would need a clever identification strategy [0] to tease out the effects of prestige on the margin. I'm afraid this article doesn't offer much on that front.

This is a really ignorant question and I'm pretty sure I already know the answer. But say I wanted to become a teacher at some school, specifically teaching things like "how to organize and execute the operational side of a tech product", or "managing Enterprise IT".

Yes, this press release reads like one of those “I know the secret to weight loss that has been lost since ancient times! Just one payment of $29.99 will get you on the path to your ideal beach body!” But, then I noticed this was from an actual university. Huh. And it doesn’t ask for money. And it basically gives the “secret” in the article. But it definitely has that snake oil smell.

Pretty much because we define it as such.

I.e. in traditional(*) axiomatic setup of the natural number system, "+1" is called the "successor" operation, and apart from "there being 1", we also assume that "there is a successor to 1" and then call that "2". Everything else (remarkably) flows from there: all the other numbers (whole numbers, rational, real, complex numbers), most of the Mathematical Analysis with the infinitesimals, differentiation and integrals and differential equations... After the summation is defined as an operation having a concrete set of properties, it's proven that "+1" is equivalent to "succ(1)".

(*) A more recent approach is to use set cardinality instead of the "successor" approach, but regardless of the approach, even in maths, we simply take some things for granted. I find the successor approach much more approachable for the general public though, since it's so simple, and truly requires not too much (mathematical) intelligence.
The "Strengthening Exercises" for the soleus muscle would be a way to target it? Unless it needs a specific interval to get it into some sort of oxygen deficit or something?

(From the linked page[1])

Some exercises to strengthen your soleus may include:

* Bent knee plantar flexion with a resistance band

* Bent knee heel raises (as per the Alfredson protocol[2])

* Seated calf raises

Again, the bent knee position keeps your calf on slack and focus the workload on the soleus muscles of your lower legs.

Hey! Creator of Dub here! Appreciate the sentiment, also great point in the replies about link shorteners leading to spam.

My plan with Dub is to keep this running at a sustainable pace for as long as possible, and I believe it's possible for a few reasons:

- Operating costs for Dub are quite low at the moment, thanks to Edge Functions (https://vercel.com/edge) + Redis.

- I'm leaning into the custom domains & self-hosted aspect with the freemium model – where enterprises and businesses would be able to get set up with a custom domain link shortener super easily.

- Agree that individual short links are definitely not sustainable in the long run, I might set a rule where randomly-generated links > 30 days get deleted, to save it you'll either need to make an account (to prevent spam) or set up your own domain.
Fair points!

Dolby Vision supplements the HDR data already present in a video. For example, when you buy a Blu-ray disc that supports Dolby Vision, the disc contains several m2ts files containing HEVC encoded videos. Present within the HEVC stream is also the metadata, which supplies metadata for each frame. To see what this data is, I used[1], and then got the info for frame 1000 and saved it as a json in this [2] pastebin. As you can see, it contains info regarding the minimum and maximum PQ encoded values, the coefficients of the ycc to rgb matrix, among other things. This allows TVs to better display the HDR data, as currently, video data encoded using rec. 2020 color primaries with max light level of 10000 nits is far outside what current TVs are capable of displaying, so metadata showing max pq of a frame or scene allows these devices to make better decisions.
