"Reading America's Secret War, by Stratfor's founder, had left me entirely in the dark about their mission and capabilities until this very moment. I stand enlightened."

If you read it, what makes you think Dick Cheney would be involved? The book apparently contradicts everything the neocons stood for. Cheney would probably prefer that Stratfor were shut down, so that he could control the flow of information.

"No one is saying they're not allowed to do what they're doing."

Really? People are tossing around the word 'evil', but they should be allowed to keep doing it?

"Only that "trades emails with a private intelligence analysts" is probably going to be a pretty good proxy for "has interesting, secret shit to talk about.""

Ah, so you've gone from justifying it by saying they're evil and up to no good, to justifying it by saying they merely have interesting, secret shit to talk about.

Lots of people have interesting, secret shit to talk about.

So basically it's really just a voyeuristic thing for you and the moralizing is a pose.

EPOC is not that useful as a weight loss aid. Firstly, it's impossible to measure so you really have no idea how many extra calories are being expended.

Secondly, in the articles about EPOC, it's shown that the EPOC effect is nothing compared to the extra calories you burn doing long bouts of cardio. It's like 200 calories over the course of a day vs. 1000 calories in 75 minutes.

Thirdly, cardio itself has an EPOC afterburn effect.

It's trendy on the internet to espouse SS/SL workouts and HIIT cardio as the end all and be all of fitness, but most people, especially those with a lot of weight to lose, can get good results with relatively minor diet changes and an hour or two of brisk walking per day.
That's straightforward to do yourself. Either roll your own using blocks, or use a standard library such as SDWebImage (which is very easy to install using CocoaPods). But I agree, having it integrated would be even nicer.

It's interesting to see how the OP approached the argument: telling his friend straight out that consistency and self discipline are the same thing, rather than saying that self-discipline breeds consistency.

Had he gone with the latter, the argument likely would not have happened. Instead, he misspoke, and then when his friend corrected him (they aren't exactly the same thing, after all), his ego got the better of him and he pushed on into a pissing match rather than clarifying his position. And then be blogged about what a dumb ass his friend is.

There are many lessons on relationships to be learned here, and the OP has pretty much missed all of them.
The short answer is "because it's what's been shown to work" (where "it" is full ROM training).

"Specificity" refers to the adaptation of muscle to stimulus, and I was answering specifically why isometric and full-ROM training are different and will have different results: They will differ in response because they differ in stimulus.

If you want to read detailed technical literature, I'd suggest you do your own Google Scholar search on hypertrophic response from isometric vs. full-ROM training modalities. I'm not particularly interested in the results.

What I know is that there have been few serious bodybuilders (the guys who are most interested in training efficiency in developing more muscle mass) over the past 75-100 years who've advocated isometrics. Your standout oddballs are Herschell Walker (and he pimps calisthenics, not isometrics) and Charles Atlas (a modified "dynamic tension" model, not strictly isometric). There are occasional iso advocates, but they're well off the mainstream.

So: if you're currently untrained, and you don't have any limitations on full-ROM training modalities, your best bet is to do a freeweight, compound-movement, whole-body training program, about 3x weekly. This will do the most to add muscle to your body with the least amount of training and effort. Standard modifications would be to substitute a two-part split and 4x schedule, possibly 5x, if you have the time for it. Training volume, recovery needs, and training frequency won't let you go much beyond this. And retain an advantace over the first option.

If you're interested in disputing this, I'd encourage you to research the claim yourself (it's a pretty conservative and widely accepted one), find its critics, and judge their arguments and data on their merits. I'm not particularly interested in the question at this point.
> If you read it, what makes you think Dick Cheney would be involved?

Nothing. Good luck finding anything where I say "Dick Cheney is involved with the operations of Stratfor."

> Ah, so you've gone from justifying it by saying they're evil and up to no good, to justifying it by saying they merely have interesting, secret shit to talk about.

When I say interesting in the context of "how people are running the world," I mean interesting as in "lied to the public about an issue of global importance."

> So basically it's really just a voyeuristic thing for you and the moralizing is a pose.

Nope. I doubt I'm going to read any of what's leaked.

It's just my fervent hope that one of these days a leak can begin to remedy the sorts of injustice that only the well-moneyed and well-connected can perpetrate with impunity. Any entity that needs Stratfor's analysis of global events and decisions seems like a reasonable candidate to deliver an important payload in such a leak.

This post is getting at some worthwhile ideas, but the thinking seems to be constrained by the idea that static typing = Java. See Haskell & Go for some rather different takes on how static typing can/should work.
void* is used in C to interact with the raw bytes. In some sense, the raw bytes are the only type in C. You can try to maintain a distinction between a struct RECT{int width; int height;} and a struct POINT{int x; int y;}, but it's perhaps more appropriate to think of that as documentation for the programmer than as an actual type system. As long as your code has poorly-behaved neighbors, the types offer no guarantees.
That actually sort of makes sense, although I also have an iPad and used to use it for iMessages occasionally. But no one has had a similar issue with me as a contact (I've checked).

I gave macincloud a shot for a couple of months. I like the concept but for someone located on the east coast, the service didn't seem to work very well.

I contacted their customer service and they responded quickly. Testing speedtest.net and a few other websites, we determined that my internet connection should have been more than fast enough. Unfortunately it was still taking about 10-20 seconds for the program to refresh the desktop once on the settings reserved for low bandwidth customers.

The service didn't work very well for me due to the distances involved, but if you live on the west coast I'd recommend giving it a try.

" I mean interesting as in "lied to the public about an issue of global importance.""

It's so secret multiple HN readers have said they subscribed. It's so exclusive that anyone can subscribe for a yearly price that is cheaper than cable TV, let alone secret publications like "Science" or "Nature".

You really seem to have the wrong end of the stick here, as in not-clear-on-the-concept of how Stratfor worked.

If you want to know if someone has "lied to the public about an issue of global importance", and think Stratfor holds the answer, you would subscribe to Stratfor and compare what Stratfor reported to what the public figure claimed.

You've bought into some kind of radical left fantasy of what Stratfor does, turning it into the Trilateral Commission or the Bilderbergers.

"Any entity that needs Stratfor's analysis of global events and decisions seems like a reasonable candidate to deliver an important payload in such a leak."

See above about the Bilderbergers.

Say you're a company doing business with Turkey. Not a huge business, but you've got a lot riding on stability in Turkey. Maybe you import rugs. Maybe you do package tours of Istanbul. Maybe you have a team of developers there. Where do you go for good analysis of the situation there, given the history of military takeovers and whatnot?

The newspapers only cover it occasionally, probably too late to do you much good. MSNBC won't cover it at all on a weekend. FOX News would be all "OMG, Turkish Muslims! Threat or Menace?" and be useless. Turkish media might cover it, but not provide good analysis, and you don't know if the coverage is biased there, or if so, how.

So where do you turn? You could read the Economist, but that might not be good enough. Maybe you could buy some reports from the Economist Intelligence Unit, or Jane's. Or you could subscribe to Stratfor, which is probably cheaper.

What I see you saying is that FITNESS == STRENGTH, which I think is wrong - building strength is a kind of fitness, but it's not the only one. I mean, think of all the pro dancers you've seen in your life - would you call any of them "out of shape"? I'm also simply not interested in putting more points into Pick Up Heavy Thing. The prospect of going to a gym to lift weights and turn into [this](http://www.google.com/search?q=female+bodybuilder&tbm=is...) really doesn't appeal. (Yes, I know you don't have to go that far.)

The KIND of exercise that gets you interested in repeatedly doing it is far, far better than the one that might be Most Optimal but that you have to grudgingly drag yourself into doing and will blow off at every opportunity. I weigh less and look a hell of a lot better due to dance. And trust me, I've been pushing my limits. I push myself to where my muscles start saying "hey whoah this is a lot of stress" and don't back off until I'm done with the exercise.

I also feel like we are disagreeing on a relatively fine point - I don't think either of us would argue that getting up off your ass and moving, eating better, and other stuff like that aren't infinitely better than the "sit on your ass in front of the TV/computer constantly eating junk food" path that a lot of nerds are on for a lot of their life, or than the "sit on your ass in front of the TV but diet" path that a lot of people seem to imagine will work.

tl;dr: One modality is certainly better than none. n.n

No it's not. This is an argument against poor management, not any particular programming language feature. If you have someone writing code like this in production you have a management problem. Review code, use and create clearly defined code standards, use validators, use "strict" mode, and most of all use your brain.

You do realize that VC funds try to invest in startups that have that 1/10 chance of being a massive success. They don't wilfully throw their money at 9 crappy businesses that they don't think will succeed and really just hope for the 1 they think will do ok. It's simply a reality that you can't have 10/10 startups all succeed so they accept the odds.

Saying investing in startups is all about "throwing away" a bunch of money isn't at all accurate.

Reading Outisde Your Bubble
Nassim Taleb discusses uncertainty; more technical than his other talks (2009)
We're preparing to move to Chile in February to start as part of the next class. I see a couple of these blog posts along the lines of "well my 6 months are up, I'm outta here!". That seems like such a tragedy to me.

I've been to Chile before, Santiago is a wonderful city. We had only a few weeks in the country, but in that time we saw a little of the area and even went to Easter Island (which is part of Chile.) There's whole regions of Chile we didn't get to see, such as the high desert, punta arenas, etc.

SU Chile gets you a 1 year visa, and se we're planning to spend at least a year in Chile (they said they can help with renewal so we might stay 2 years even.) And while we're going to be working really hard on our startup I can't imagine a better place to do it than a county where stepping out of your door to go to dinner and suddenly you're on a foreign vacation for the evening!

I hope everyone whose considering going to Chile will also consider staying longer than 6 months. If your startup is internet or software based, you don't really need to come back to your home country right away, do you?

But looking at just that visa, there are so many moving parts we have to get aligned to get that visa. Its really no big deal in terms of visas on the global scale-- imagine trying to get a 1 year visa that lets you work in the USA! Much, much harder. So, bureaucracy is involved in the visa, and the reimbursement process.

The thing is, TANSTAAFL (there ain't no such thing as a free lunch). They don't take equity, but they want you to help the with their project. That's fine, part of our business plan is helping build a community of independant startups anyway, we've got no problem doing that. But that's how we "pay our way".

With expenses, every expense is different, and so, of course, some expenses might be approved for some people but not for others-- some people might forget to get receipts or might make an other error. The bigger question is whether the rules are straightforward, comprehensible and clear. Or not.

Maybe it would be better if the program worked as a grant, and they gave each startup $6,500 a month just as a check to spend as the startup wishes. The thing is, that would run the risk of scary stories like "These drunken 20 year olds from Amsterdam came to Chile and bought drugs with government money!!!" (or maybe not, don't know if they have tabloids in chile.) So, government money, government bureaucracy.

I havent' heard anyone say that they were cheated by SU Chile... and with any reimbursement system, you have to expect there will be imperfect coverage. Someone else commented that they spent $7-8k over the 6 months (with the rest covered by SU Chile reimbursements) -- that's a hell of a low burn rate!

So, maybe you could theoretically live in Chile on the $40k and have it all be reimbursed, but expecting that seems silly.
As is mentioned in the article, using cryptographically secure hash functions doesn't help - unless you also provide some salt or otherwise randomize the function in some way. On the other hand, if you are already randomizing the function in some way, using a cryptographically secure hash is unlikely to help - as long as the salt/seed is has a range substantially larger than the table size.

Using a balanced tree in place of a list in a separately chained hash table is possible - but adds much complexity and reduced average-case performance to solve a problem that seems better to solve in a different way. Dynamic perfect hashing works too, but opens you up to a new memory exhaustion attack.

A combination of limiting header size and adding a seed to the hash function, as mentioned in the article, seems like the right way. Limiting header sizes and counts is something that servers should be doing anyways, and seeding the hash function seems to close this hole quite neatly.

I don't think you need to be an expert glassmaker before you go and find out if there's a market for "glass services"(if that's what you are interested in). It's enough to go out and talk to glass owners and find out if they have a need for an expert to maintain or restore their glass and if they do, what they will pay. If they do, find an expert glass maker and hire him or her. Also your interviews might help with what kind of "expert glassmaker" you need.

I have to back you on this. This doesn't sit in any moral grey area. This is nothing but corruption. If people genuinely have no problem with the outing of millions of private correspondences, then they should be publicly offering their own correspondences up for inspection.

If you're against SOPA, you should be against tyranny like this. This is the tyranny of the minority, of anarchists who aren't doing this for moral value or just cause. This wasn't even done for retaliation or idiot bashing like hbgary. This was done for no reason but to cause harm and mayhem.

I believe in the transparency of government, which is why I can turn my eye when wikileaks was doing their thing. I can't turn my eye if someone's raiding my neighbours mailbox and I hope no one else here would either, but I think it's pretty scummy that people here are supporting this.

Actually, by some countries I meant East Asia. I had a friend get fired after getting hit by a car and needing 2 months leave (because his office had no wheelchair access). Technically not legal but you can't exactly fight a well funded employer when you are broke from medical bills.

It is quite common to see very sick people working. People who probably should be in hospital, not just on leave.
EPOC gives you a training effect without the training cost.

A good Tabata workout, including warm-up and some extra farting around, fits well within 30 minutes. Of which approximately 4 are spent trying to expel my lungs from my body through my nose. The rest of it is virtually enjoyable by comparison.

I'll be toasty, as in sweat-dripping-off-my-brow toasty, for the next 3-4 hours. And feel an elevated metabolism through the next day.

For squats and deads its pretty much the same, except that I can feel the elevation (it'd be interested to actually measure core body temps) for about twice as long.

If you're training for 4-6 hours, you're introducing catabolism and other stress factors into the equation. Remember, all training is stress. If body recomp is your goal, and mass gain is a part of that, then tearing your muscles down for 3-5 hours once or twice (or more) weekly isn't helping you.

If you want a sense of how effective long-duration cardio is at stripping lean muscle mass, consider that trans-oceanic rowers (a cohort I've met several members of) lose 30-40# or more in a typical crossing of 90-180 days, largely muscle mass. Granted, that's a sustained 8-10 hr/day of rowing, but the principle is similar.

EPOC is your friend if your goal is lean mass gains and peak cardiovascular fitness, along with fat loss.
