And a (somewhat disorganized) wiki about the book, with enough info to learn the lifts and do the program, here: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/Starting_Strength_Wik...

Using this program and nothing else, between November 1 and December 23 of this year, my squat went from 180 to 270, my deadlift from 180 to 305, and my bench press from 120 to 165.

You do not need to be an expert, or know how to lift to do the program. It is (for me) almost exactly one hour a day, three days a week.

Make working out a habit, not a question of willpower. It needs to "just be", or else you, if you're at all like me, won't do it. That's why I don't care much about variety; I don't need variety in brushing my teeth either.

edit: Also, the /r/fitness FAQ is quite good: http://www.reddit.com/help/faqs/Fitness
I guess my point is that at soon as you use the word "music" you are making a value judgement, particularly if you are categorizing it. Example from the first paragraph of the article: "Monotonic music is boring." I would consider this viewpoint at least 50 years out of date. I can find you hundreds of potential counter-examples, and hundreds of people who will disagree with each other on the "boring" part. Add to this the fact that it doesn't even matter what hundreds or millions of people think; in "art" popular opinion does not always line up with the "connaisseurs" or academic thought. More people probably dislike Phillip Glass than like him, but it doesn't matter: he's still a world-renowned composer, regardless of what people think of his work.

I understand the viewpoint here, but pointing out mathematical structure in music / timbre / tonal sounds is not exactly new and we should stop being amazed everytime a new mathematical feature is discovered, because fundamentally the rules are not formal, and naturally subject to a large amount of ambiguity and interpretation. Finding expression of mathematics in music is sort of akin to astrology--you can find lots of correlations, but at the end of the day you won't find much causality. Imho a physicist or mathematician doing "armchair musicology" is just as bad as a musicologist doing "armchair physics."

The closest we can get, scientifically, is the psycological or psychophysical viewpoint-- why do certain combinations of harmonics sound a certain way to us that is distinct from others. This is of course an on-going topic of research, and it has biological / evolutionary reasons as much as anything. The mathematics is mostly coincidental, although convenient mathematical relationships may be enablers (catalysts) to development of perception mechanisms because they imply convenient forms for decoding mechanics. (e.g. cochlear membrane as a Fourier transform).
"It works great" can I have your browser? It works great for doing completely independent tasks (like rendering unrelated websites) and this is as far as it goes. I would not call it "complex interprocess communication" since there is almost none communication involved - tasks are almost entirely parallelizable. In fact you would be as good just running two separate browsers for most of the time.
Hmm, I guess it's because length is a commonly used function in Javascript, but not in other languages. In Python you do len(list) instead, so the word length is more likely to appear in comments and therefore less likely to be corrected.
Documentary filmmaker Errol Morris' (creepy) solution to the camera problem is his (patent pending) Interrotron. Something like a cross between a teleprompter and a two-way mirror, the Interrotron lets the interviewee watch the interviewer's face while talking into the camera.

2 things: Google does censor youtube - via responding to user complaints. And I bet Google /could/ censor the rest if it wanted to. And doesn't it already, anyway, for China?

But then if not, who would lose more, Google + Facebook or India?
Stiff fines. If suddenly the only signal the tower's picking up is yours, it doesn't take too long to figure out who is responsible.
Pre-workouts usually ships with a lot of caffeine (more than a redbull, IIRC), so you will get agitated.
This reminds me of a US company I worked with that outsourced some of their service layer work to a company with heavy European influence. As a result, API methods also had the spelling of certain words eg. getColour() or getFavourites(). Good times.
I agree with you. Situations like this are perfect for indentured servitude (which is specifically permitted under the 14th Amendment as punishment for a crime). Madoff should spend the rest of his life scrubbing the toilets of the people he defrauded, starting at the smallest debt and working his way up, earning minimum wage doing whatever legal tasks they require of him until he has repaid each one in full. All his heirs and relatives need to be carefully audited as well to get back the money he has holed away throughout the globe.
What about time ? the relative ratio of durations and displacement between sounds is , to me , as important as tonal frequency (well even if at the end of the day , both are frequencies on different abstraction scales).
The DMCA, for all its warts, was a pretty decent solution. The DMCA safe harbor provisions, and the body of precedent that has been built up around it, has been crucial in allowing the growth of sites like Youtube.

The problem now is foreign sites that host copyrighted material, which the DMCA doesn't help with much. This is not an imaginary problem. Over Thanksgiving, my mom was showing my aunt how to download movies from these sites.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but "don't legislate the internet" won't be part of that solution. The world has laws, and the internet is just a way for real-world people to communicate. It will be subject to law. They can either be good laws protective of peoples' rights or they can be bad ones. If the technology community takes its marbles and goes home, it will be the latter.
If for nothing else, this article has lead me to the paste command. Looks something which would be incredibly useful. Marking it down. Look forward to the rest of the article.

Few people seem to contribute to the actual Vim code base though, considering the amount of coders using the software. Several complete rewrites have been started - with a better code quality perhaps the efforts could've been put into Vim development.
The point of my example is you can put a breakpoint under any complex condition, I guess I should have made it more complex something like if(someComplexCalculatedValue() == 10). Anything that can be expressed can be added as a breakpoint if you use setters, then you won't have to step through every assignment, which could be thousands in applications.
For me it's gregarious (which I see used occasionally but not super often). It was used as an example for learning vocab by imagining a scene. In this one you imagined a guy "Greg Arious" who is the life of the party dancing around with a lampshade over his head.
I definitely understand it. It's not a matter of understanding the syntax. It's a matter of teaching people most effectively. Here's a comparison of the spoken explanation of the code:

't' equals the value of 'array' at index 'm' minus 1 and 'm' equals itself minus 1.

vs

'm' equals itself minus 1.
't' equals the value of 'array' at index 'm'.

To me one of those seems more concise for writing production code, and the other more useful for teaching algorithms.
Sure they do. All the serious bodybuilders at my gym were there about the time I got there and left about the time I left.

Except they also put in another hour in the morning.

Doing enough repetitions with the proper rest in between takes time. Out of the two hours you're there you probably spend less than 90 minutes actively exercising. Especially taking into account the gym being packed and having to wait for stuff.
Definitely. U.S. General MacArthur and staff literally wrote the current Japanese "Peace" constitution, and forced the Emperor from Japanese politics.
Because the built-in .length property is frequently used, and will fail if misspelled.

Whereas C and C++ programs tend to have a lenght operator implemented by the programmer, and from there the error gets snowballed by IDEs and debuggers.
Sorry but I think you are blowing this way out of proportion. The article is simply trying to talk about the sound technical term "noise" vs. the technical term "music".

This is not art critiqe, this is not what you learn in art school. This is what you learn if you want to be a soundengineer.

So either you haven't read the article at all or you are completely missing it's point.
So spend half an hour exercising every day. It's still a lot more than nothing and well worth it when "family time" involves saving someone from a burning building or some other sort of emergency and you have the physical strength to actually do it.

Ask HN: Next job after hacking for a living?
I've been coding for years and understand user interaction and development projects fairly well.

However, I'm curious about life beyond lcd screens. What would be a good Next Job with a high pay for a hacker?
But that doesn't mean it isn't morally and ethically right either. You need to first lay out a moral framework that enshrines copyright as inviolate (I'm very curious what, if any, exceptions you'll make for fair use), and then argue for it. It seems to me that in the most common rational models of morality, things default to being either moral or amoral unless shown to be otherwise.
I feel like this is almost like saying "Novels are based on words"- turns there are some good analytical and physical reasons why we have the words we do, but that doesn't tell you shit about how to write a novel. I think the title overstates the scope of the observations within.
If that's skepticism, then James Randi believes in the easter bunny.
Prepaid phone, bought with cash, and left in a public place?
Not really. Google gave up on censoring search results in China and simply moved its operations to Hong Kong (http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/02/googles-china-...).

China blocks websites that don't follow its rules. India is threatening to do something similar. From this article: "Like China, we too can block such websites," said Justice Suresh Kait.

Neither is length in many languages.
I used to think this was a scam. I have researched the topic deeply and changed my mind. I wrote: http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=61

I mean no disrespect to you, but I will continue to submit stories as they develop. I prefer to let the HN community decide by themselves by upvoting/downvoting me. Cold fusion has a long history of being censored, let's not let this happen on HN.
I know plenty of people who use portable hard drives, flash drives and writable optic media as a backup... I don't see many downsides in that, barring catastrophic loss (which can happen to second party storage as well, though they do tend to be more professional about being careful).

Of course, a burned DVD isn't going to let me access my file from the office and at home unless I take it with me, so there are drawbacks.
How to win state fair games
Craigslist displaying prominent message about SOPA/PIPA
article contradicts itself.. they say that majority will buy monthly pass for $70 instead of paying $10 per visit and do just 4 visit, effectively loosing money.

And then they tell that people are more likely to do gym workouts if they will be taxed. But isn't subscribing to plan already form of financial incentive?

I have quite different idea of gyms. Gyms are for people who build their body, not for someone who need to fix health. For someone who need to fix health - they need to change their routine to introduce physical work somewhere. This is more complicated than buying membership, I agree. But this is what will not use your willpower and give you long term results.
Were you replying to me? I explicitly said .lenght would return undefined. As in, a typo on the .length property.
P90X is an ok program, but it's ridiculously inefficient. If you learn basic barbell training, I guarantee that you won't have to wait much, if at all, at the gym. Most folks shy away from barbells and that's an advantage to the person who knows what they're doing.
Try switching a quarter of your subscribers to it and see what the reaction is. If its not bad, move all of them over.

You are only able to edit a post for a limited time, and I'm long past the point of being able to edit that post.

As for the images, I kept a little file of interesting ones, and didn't want to go back and check them all to remember which were NSFW. So I simply put in the disclaimer and pasted.

That said, I felt that they did add to the comment. They give an idea of the variety of different things that could show up in a discussion, and indicate that you would need to separate them out by category.
People are generally missing the point of this article. It's not about what music is, it's no trying to show you how to do music.

It's of interest to those who want to dig deeper into music theory (which does not teach how to do good music)

There is no value judgement here as such.
Yes, this statement just means "any legislation we pass will be assumed not to do these things, and even if it does we will issue a signing statement that says it doesn't."

I'm curious to see how this proposed conference call would go. "There's no way to eliminate piracy without outlawing computation." "Oh really? We'll take that under advisement. Thanks."
The distinction you're drawing seems arbitrary. You could buy a license to "Happy Birthday To You", but instead you choose to perform it without a license. How is appropriating without a proper license to perform a work substiantially different from doing the same thing to watch a work?
it's not about music as such. It's about harmonies.
I have a similar problem - but what do you do when your social media presence is "incomplete" ie the name is squatted on the 2 biggest of this list : facebook and youtube?

The name has been in use in business since 2001. I have the similar domain in .com etc. since 2003. I have a trademark on the term itself since last year.

the name on facebook is being held without serving any content, by a minor. On youtube another minor, though at least serving content.

I tried both youtube and facebook trademark report process - a mockery a best, requiring time and effort to get a scripted reply.

I will save you some time and money and give you their replies (I hope they're not copyrighted :-)

Facebook in reply to report an infringing username "While we appreciate your concerns, it appears that the user has a legitimate basis for selecting the username. If you believe this is incorrect, we recommend that you contact the user directly to address this issue."

Then you reply to that email, and get the very same reply. A chatbot could do that.

Youtube on trademark support : "Thank you for submitting your complaint. As a preliminary matter, please note that YouTube is not in a position to mediate trademark disputes between users and trademark owners. As a courtesy we have considered your claim, but do not find grounds to take action on your claim. If you have continued concerns, we encourage you to resolve the dispute with the uploader."

Yes, try that with someone who is not replying. Actually I'm considering paying a lawyer.

Ask HN: Can I interview you about life at a startup?
Hi HN,

I am a Dutch student from Amsterdam currently in the Bay Area to conduct my master research. Since I can remember I have always been interested in tech. I am focusing on the value of social capital in entrepreneurship. The Bay Area seemed like the best place to go :)

My research focus is narrowed down on startups that have less than 10 people working for them. I have been a HN reader for some time and I figured this is a good place to ask if there are some people that might be interested in talking about their experiences. This can be over a cup of coffee or some Dutch cuisine :)
I am currently in the Bay Area, and will be for some time!

All the best,

Jim

First off, your example wouldn't even be illegal, as far as I know: at least in the US, fashion is not covered by copyright.

Secondly, I don't see why it would be immoral: the designer of the dress is not hurt at all by your copying it. Now, if you claim your dress has actually been made by said designer--e.g. you infringe on his trademark--that's basically fraud and a completely different case.

The real issue is that it seems you define "wrong" as an enumeration of things you shouldn't do, among which you seem to include copying without permission.

You haven't given any reason for it to be wrong. I think that something is not "wrong" or "immoral" by default; unless there's a good reason for something to be wrong, it shouldn't be. And, as copying like this does not obviously harm society, I see no reason for it to be wrong.
It uses d3.js, which pretty much requires a modern browser with SVG. I suspect you will find it doesn't work on IE8.

I did some work with the public data sets.

The data is stored (free of charge) via ebs (look at the EC2 instance) which persists to S3 but is not visible in or directly usable from your S3 directory. If you decide to transfer the data or run computations (e.g. via emr), you'll then pay for the resources used.

I didn't find the documentation all that clear to efficiently use the public data sets, which had financial consequences.

If anyone is adept with using the public data sets, I'd love to speak with you.
To be fair, the wikipedia page for the algorithm is called "Fisher–Yates shuffle". This is in my experience a common way to call an algorithm. I can't think of a better way to do it.
> I agree, "free market solutions" sounds nice until you notice that capitalism has no soul.

I've got news for you. Economic models are inanimate. Sorry Che.

> I don't like the TSA either but leaving it up to the airlines...

It is up to the airlines. All the mechanical components on that capitalist plane were made by free enterprise. Now, why you trust a private corporation to manufacture jet engines and brakes, and not checking for bombs is pretty irrational. And besides, when you have choice which, free markets afford you, you can take a greyhound bus if you're that afraid of the "terrorists".
I'd say a good goal would be to rank #1 for long tail searches like "where can I buy FOO_CANDY in the US?" for the top 50 best selling Japanese candies.

The final method uses a really common programming idiom for optimizing the removal of elements in a std::vector known as "swap and pop". Swap and pop works by taking advantage of the facts that the most efficient element you can remove from an array/vector is the last one by `pop`ing it off and that the preserved order of the given set isn't important.

// swap and pop in C++11
int offset = 2; // remove the second element from the vector
int end = vec.size() - 1;

auto tmp = vec[offset];
vec[offset] = vec[end];
vec.pop();
// `tmp` now contains the value removed from the std::vector
Better example: 18th amendment (1919) vs. 21st amendment (1933). Prohibition empowered three bureaucracies that were then disempowered over a dozen years later. I don't see how that can be seen as a ratchet.

There are many such examples from all over the world; millions if you look at the actual details of laws, rather than just the broad strokes.
No problem--just responded. Good luck!
