never start with lifting weights except if you have somewhat athletic hobbies or if you did more than a bit of physical labor.

your joints and tendons can't do their jobs properly yet and you have no feeling for your skeleton and the correct positions of shoulders, hips and spine. your nerves will get pinched and your muscles will push to grow into their genetically intended position while you will bring nerves and tendons in bad positions due to habit.

joint strength, posture, bodyweight core training, 200 bodyweight squats in two sets, 200 pushups in 4 - 6 sets, 2 - 3 min hang from bar or rope (holding it as tight as possible all the time) and be sure you can roll forward and backward and wrestle with a big dog or young and strong child for fun on the ground without hurting yourself. now you can start lifting low weights.

I have had ATT's highest unlimited plan (even the new ones) since mid 2008, and my costs have increased maybe 20% since 2008. But now I also get unlimited phone usage in almost the entire Western hemisphere now, whereas before, even Canada and Mexico cost extra.

For 6 lines, I paid $276 back in 2017, and it is $310 now, so in ~6 years, the price went up 12%. And some of that was increased taxes.
> I never understood those annual release cycles anyway. Too artificial, too forced. Great for marketing hype, accumulating bugs, and missing out on documentation. Bad for quality.

False! A foundational concept in Constraint Theory is that "Large Batch Sizes Increase Lead Time".

Apple should figure out how to release smaller batches more often to improve quality. They should figure out how to release the first day of the quarter, every quarter. And work backward on what needs to happen to make that happen. Then release first of the month, every month. Once again, work backward on how to make that happen.

For example, we release to the iOS App Store and Google Play Store first thing on Monday, every Monday. And we worked backwards to figure out what we needed to do to make that happen.

When something goes wrong, the batch size is small enough that we can quickly figure out what happened. Also, the release train is reliable enough that engineers can push back on PMs. "You are not getting this feature this Monday. You'll get it next Monday".

Large batch sizes and long release cycles are terrible for quality!

It's not about becoming large and bureaucratic, that's a result, not the cause, in my opinion. It's the result of having a large enough footprint to require legal checks, it's the result of having lots of investors and shareholders meddling with how the company should function (since those are only interested in ROI, and as fast as possible).

When a company gives out its control to 3rd parties that are not involved in what the company does, and only cares about financial statements, it loses its spark. Not because they decided to lose it but that's how the market forces act: squeeze out as much as possible, for as little as possible, and call it a good day.

The only counterpoint to that phenomenon is what some large-ish private companies do: stay private, don't get investment from external investors who haven't bought into what the company is providing as value to society, don't get investment from people looking to make their money 2-10x in a short period of time (short being around 10 years).

The moment a company enters squarely into the current financial markets it's doomed to just become a carcass of whatever vision it had, it's now just another commodity.

Edit: and every startup founder wants to be different and not fall for this, I don't think many manage, after some rounds of investment it's not in your power anymore to decide that, your VCs and other members in the cap table control you.

"Silicon Valley" is such good satire exactly because it depicts almost exactly how that happens.
Blast from the past. I loved the catalogs as well and went down to the showroom in Canoga Park occasionally. Was near the Fry’s that I’d go to a decade later.

Lots of cool things, stereo and computers, but you’d not know what. Like Radio Shack and Trader Joe’s had a baby.

One of my favorite purchases was a huge 18” subwoofer cabinet with its own amp and… centimeter thick copper/gold tipped speaker cables! (Way before audiophile nonsense, they were cheap!)

A dozen or so years later got tired of moving it and put it on Craigslist, only one pair with a truck showed up and I was highly motivated to give it away for free. “Can always use for firewood if you don’t like it, “ I said.

It would be cool if they could put a chip inside the chargers and have the charger communicate over USB C whether it's authentic or not. Of course you could still use third party chargers that would lack this chip, but for people who like first party chargers or buying chargers from reputable brands (that would probably license this from Apple) it would be nice.

This “higher input voltage is more efficient” can also happen with bridge/protection diodes. (E.g. devices that accept AC or DC, or any polarity of DC, or at least safely refuse to function if you plug in a barrel connector with the wrong polarity)

They’ll cause a fixed voltage drop, so the higher the voltage you put in, the lower the proportion of your power you lose.

240V computer power supplies are a bit more efficient than 120V ones because of this.

The Atlantic and Pacific oceans and the US nuclear triad mean that there is nothing in those documents that could pose any significant threat to US national security.

The NSA might in fact be occasionally helping to stop relatively small-scale attacks. However, as Prigozhin's march on Moscow in Russia and the 10/7 attacks in Israel show, even running an authoritarian surveillance state or a heavily militarized state with top-notch intelligence services can only do so much to prevent attacks. I think that adding more and more surveillance has diminishing returns in preventing attacks, meanwhile its existence is a threat to free society both directly, in that it could theoretically be used against political dissidents, and indirectly, in that it encourages a culture of self-censorship that is antithetical to political freedom.

If no amount of risk is acceptable, then any amount of surveillance is justified. To have a free society some level of risk must be accepted.
Good luck with that.

It sounds like any standard "fun with memes" content.

I remember talking to a surrealist artist, once, about how he came up with ideas. He said that he basically used a "popsicle stick" method, where he wrote nouns, verbs, and modifiers on popsicle sticks, and then tossed them into cigar boxes.

He'd shake them up, then would draw random sticks, and create an illustration, based on that.

An example he gave, was "Nuns Riding Blue Bicycles."
So you're surrounded by idiots. Guess who the real jerk is
There's two sets of missing things here.

The first is interfaces to represent async versions of existing core sync traits (that's the AsyncRead/AsyncWrite/Stream/Sink/etc. you refer to). What makes this somewhat awkward is you're providing these traits without an implementation of them in the standard lib.

The other thing that's missing is something like GlobalAlloc. You need a generic executor runtime interface to handle some of the executor things you need like "schedule new task".

In general, I think there's a class of features where you need to have just one global (really, process-wide, not just library-wide) provider of some service, and it may be worth having language features to provide this functionality. Memory allocation is one specific area; async executors is another topical area. But you can also throw in stuff like signal handlers or logging or service providers or error handling or tracing features, etc.
For me it’s depended on where I am at the time. In LA it would do exactly that, having me cross many lanes in heavy traffic, but elsewhere it was fine.

My theory is that Waze must model what maneuvers are possible/easy based on other drivers in the area. So if you live in an area with more aggressive drivers it assumes those maneuvers are easier to do.

I dont think giving the government the power to force by law people record their movement, operating conditions, and other factors is inline with spirit of constitution.

Sure it makes it easy to "determining fault in an accident" but same could be said if everyone was required to wear a body cam, or install surveillance camera's in their home that the police monitor 24x7.

I am opposed to any and all government mandated surveillance, I do not want to live in the surveillance state we do, I sure as hell do not want to see it expanded

> But wouldn't hash field (used for lookup) expose the same information?

Yes absolutely which is why you pick a small substring as the input to the hash function.

For example, for the SSN field, you can use the first 2 digits as the input. Even if you get a digest match, the fields themselves may not actually be the exact same value. SSN, however, given its small range is kind of hard to secure. You might be able to do something like the email address plus SSN as the input into the digest function.

I don't have any online resources specific to this topic but I did find this book to be very accessible for someone like me who's an engineer:

> at some financial institutions, you can get a SAR filed for knowing what a SAR is, because “advanced knowledge of anti-moneylaundering procedure” is a characteristic only of financial professionals and terrorists.

That is messed up. You ask about a SAR or indicate you know about them in general, you get a SAR slapped on you, and they close your account. You're one of hundreds of thousands, why bother handling a SAR-ed user when they can just move on without you.

Are individuals allowed to have a public forum to discuss and share notes of what they did in their account to learn and prevent this from happening in the future? It seems in a lot of cases it's using these payment systems like Zelle or have anything associated with phrases resembling black-listed countries or organization.
> which is very hard to justify on national security grounds

I think the people doing this have a completely different notion of national security than the general public, one that includes a supposed right to know about surprises in general and big events in general, not just about bad guys plotting to attack you. For example, they might believe that details of economic activity, prices, religious movements, relationships among foreign politicians, epidemics, boycott and antiboycott campaigns, etc., are matters of national security in the sense that they could eventually develop into things that would affect a society negatively, or that could tend to increase or decrease the power of a state.

In maintaining the idea of privacy, we have to also maintain that others have to accept surprises and uncertainty. I don't know my neighbors' religious views, I don't know what oatmilk will cost next week at the supermarket, I didn't know when my former coworkers started trying to organize a union, I don't know if anyone has a crush on me. But all that information exists somewhere in computer systems. I accept that I have no right to it, but it seems incredibly hard to get governments to think the same way.

When Glenn Greenwald first talked about how spying on Petrobras wasn't a matter of U.S. national security, I thought that was obviously right. Petrobras isn't going to attack the U.S., it doesn't have any means of attacking the U.S., and it doesn't have any obligation to sell or not sell oil to the U.S. or any other country at any particular price. But now I think that it's not just like "the NSA must plan to help the Texas oil industry" or "the NSA must plan to help the Saudi oil industry" or something; it's more like "they don't accept that they should have to contend with surprises and uncertainty".

To be clear, I think that spying on Petrobras is wrong and I wish that Petrobras had a remedy for it. And I think disclosing that it happens is right, but it doesn't seem to have led to the kind of discussion or debate that Greenwald seemed to hope for.

Edit: The comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38181265 had a more concise take on this point.

> If no amount of risk is acceptable, then any amount of surveillance is justified. To have a free society some level of risk must be accepted.

(But in this context we're not just talking about risks of violent attacks, but really risks of anything disruptive.)

Edit 2: The U.S. in particular is powerful enough to enforce economic sanctions which are themselves justified on national security grounds, so then there's also the sanctions enforcement part like figuring out whether Petrobras is working with the Iranian oil industry or whatever. Most countries probably wouldn't even expect to be able to do anything about that, although they might want to exert diplomatic pressure like "please stop trading with our enemy, from whom we concretely fear a physical attack".
