They are bad regardless. They are just less bad if you train more than 5 weeks :) I hit 3:55 taking it easy and never hit the wall, though my legs felt like wooden poles. The 5 week training plan wasn't optimal, but I went into it as a bike rider who rode 100-150 miles a week and didn't bat an eye at a 100 mile ride. So, cardio was there, leg muscles were partway there etc. Just didn't quite have enough muscle built up to support the knees.
Interesting. Could you provide a link to your website or book? Also, what do you think of "slow" exercises/arts like yoga, taichi etc in general? Obviously you don't do this (as you are in to HIIT), just curious to know your thoughts though.
Legit? Probably so but I'm always wary. Anyone else done this?
Wow, nice demo. I agree with the others the lack of pricing is a bit disconcerting.

Btw, anyone else read the title as "Trent Reznor"? I need a coffee...

You are right. It's not really about health. Everyone is just trying to fit in an old pair of jeans. Buy a new pair I say.
I do wish people would stop with the phrase "post-PC era"... and I thought Canonical would be above that (consider me properly disillusioned.)

Can we at least start calling PCs "workstations" again, to compensate?

The more I think about it, the more an entirely event based app makes a lot of sense (these days). I'm not sure what the design methodology is called but there's a concept where an app's state is essentially determined purely based on events. So without the history, current state is lost. But... A lot of benefits come from this. For example, you can essentially replay your app from day one to any point later on in time.

Your comment made me think of this. I would have recently been in a similar scenario but fortunately I built some internal event tracking early on. It's also a rails app. So every action is tracked using some simple observers. There are subclasses of Event for types like UserRegistrationEvent, etc... Anyway long story short I can essentially replay history by using these events and build, for example, notifications for those events or mixpanel tracking data - retroactively.

It was a fortunate design decision and has ended up really showing its value a number of times. Push notifications hook onto these, tracking credits for our game component, etc...

Edit, I think that the concept I was referring to is called Event Sourcing.

Some resources: http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/EventSourcing.html

Event Sourcing ensures that all changes to application
state are stored as a sequence of events. Not just can
we query these events, we can also use the event log to
reconstruct past states, and as a foundation to automatically
adjust the state to cope with retroactive changes.

And also:

I can't understand it. It seems to me to combine selfishness and short-sightedness in equal measure. "I'm all right, I have insurance" plus "I'll never be faced by a health crisis greater than my plans will handle." You might be right, and good for you if you are, but God help you if you aren't.

I guess I understand the philosophical argument, from a purely logical perspective, that an individual must stand or fall on their own. But I don't get how people can seriously hold that opinion without living in a cabin in the woods, or in a bubble.

Fwiw, they also had their tea monopoly stolen by the British in the 1800s [1].

Additionally, the US turned a blind eye to its own theft of Europe's IP in the 1800s and early 1900s as we were developing.

Not that we shouldn't defend against it when used against us, but it seems par for the course for developing nations to catch up this way.

Yes, I am inferring, and I am sure correctly, that parent assumed that opposition to PPACA was opposition to any healthcare reform, which supported his preexisting prejudices about ignorant hypocritical Americans, as they are widely promoted in the press. The reason I am sure I am correct about is two reasons. One is that every time I explain problems with PPACA, I am labelled an ignorant health care reform bigot/hater/militant/republitard/teabagger even though I fully support and advocate for single payer. My support for single payer is deemed irrelevant though, all that is important in this debate with most people is that the all concerns with PPACA be dismissed with handwaving, and anyone opposing it is painted an enemy of reform. The second reason is that the majority of people I have talked to who have issues with PPACA also support or are highly positive towards the idea of a single payer system. Therefore I do not believe that every person he talked to who had objections to PPACA was opposed to reform, that was his own inference.

When I log into my Xenix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi
*and* Emacs are just too damn slow. They print useless messages like,
'C-h for help' and '"foo" File is read only'. So I use the editor
that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time.

ED(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual ED(1)

NAME
ed - text editor

SYNOPSIS
ed [ - ] [ -x ] [ name ]
DESCRIPTION
Ed is the standard text editor.
---

Computer Scientists love ed, not just because it comes first
alphabetically, but because it's the standard. Everyone else loves ed
because it's ED!

"Ed is the standard text editor."

And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair. Just look:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 24 Oct 29 1929 /bin/ed
-rwxr-xr-t 4 root 1310720 Jan 1 1970 /usr/ucb/vi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5.89824e37 Oct 22 1990 /usr/bin/emacs

Of course, on the system *I* administrate, vi is symlinked to ed.
Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog
message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K;
and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!

"Ed is the standard text editor."

Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:

golem> ed

?
help
?
?
?
quit
?
exit
?
bye
?
hello?
?
eat flaming death
?
^C
?
^C
?
^D
?

---
Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is
generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm
the novice with verbosity.

"Ed is the standard text editor."

Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.

ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED
AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS
BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN
SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!

When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless
help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!!
Not a "viitor". Not a "emacsitor". Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED!
ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

TEXT EDITOR.

When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their
"edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely
you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard.

Ed is for those who can *remember* what they are working on. If you
are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should
not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE
SO-CALLED "VISUAL" EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE
FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!

HTC isn't selling their phones to you, they're selling them to carriers. World wide. The price and time will vary by geography and carrier. It's pretty terrible that they can't sort this out before announcing it, but seems to be par for the course.
> The carriers should be powerless when it comes to the devices they sell. They should be no more than retailers. Who has ever heard of retailers messing with the products? No one, because that's a crazy idea.

It's even a doofy idea for car dealers to tack their own logo plaques on the back of your car. Annoying.
I got into the final wave of the beta over the weekend.

Absolutely buying this on release day - gorgeous game and IMO a large improvement over previous installments. The only things that bother me is the limited size of the map (unsure if it's a beta thing or not) - if I can't build a megacity I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

Traffic model, economic model, new zoning model, and new utilities model are all IMO simplifications that make the game more fun, but does not remove depth. For those who haven't followed the game: power, sewage, and water no longer require power lines/pipes/etc, and travel along roads. They propagate along roads outwards from their generation source (water towers, power plants, sewage plants, etc) until their capacity is reached. There's a great animated overlay view that lets you monitor the state of each of these pretty easily.

The biggest pleasant surprise was how well it ran. I pushed all settings up to max and it didn't even flinch. SimCity 4 in contrast got insanely slow when your city became even slightly large - even on today's hardware.

The ability to monitor cashflow is also a welcome change. Instead of having to dive into your balance sheet to figure out your fiscal position it now shows a very clear flow rate (negative or positive) next to your balance.
Some small vim tweaks I've recently been using myself that I find very nice:

nmap <CR> :write<CR>

cabbrev w nope

Re-map enter to save the file. If you try to do a :w it will yell at you until you take out the cabbrev so you can retrain your muscle memory. Took me about a day to retrain.

let g:EasyMotion_leader_key = ';'

nmap s ;w

nmap S ;b

Remap s and S to be easymotion forward and backward. I never use s, since it's largely a redundant command, and didn't like having to do a two key command for easymotion. (You can set the leader key to whatever here, the nmap's are the important part.)

noremap <C-H> <C-W>h

noremap <C-L> <C-W>l

noremap <C-J> <C-W>j

noremap <C-K> <C-W>k

Move between panes with motion keys with control held down.

Also the YouCompleteMe plugin got some HN airtime but it really needs to get more. It's amazing.

http://valloric.github.com/YouCompleteMe/

And as others have mentioned using vim inside of tmux is very nice. It's especially helpful to remap the entire tmux keymap to be vim-like.

Also, does anyone have any suggestions for what to re-map Space to? I am amazed Enter and Space in command mode both do relatively useless things. Remapping space to page down is OK but I use ctrl-f/b which is just as fast imho.
Right, it sounds quite stupid in retrospect.
So the healthcare system - as described here - is largely benefiting the living members of the dying by helping them cope and transition into death.

That is what I took away from this article.
Thought you would like this backstory a bit.

My co-author for my book on gaining muscle is a runner (and trainer etc). Loves running, marathons, ragnar, the whole lot etc.

Before we started writing, I finally convinced him to give the program a shot, eat the way I recommended and workout with weights the way I recommended. He put on over 10 pounds of muscle and never felt better. His marathon time dropped, his 5k/10k was faster and he has 6-pack abs. He's a convert.

Now, he still runs but he works with weights with equal intensity and he runs much, much less than he did previously. And since his diet changed, he is able to maintain the muscle and leanness.
A little more information is required to be helpful. For example, where are you located? Health insurance varies greatly by state. Are you the owner of the startup? If so, are their cofounders? Usually group insurance is a possibility and if all the cofounders are young and single it is usually pretty inexpensive. If it is just you then do you have any expensive pre-existing conditions? If not, then individual insurance is pretty cheap if you are young and single. Although that can vary by state.

Or you could just risk it until January when mandatory insurance coverage goes into effect.
Yup! I watched a 50 year old fit guy drop dead in the first 10 miles of a 100 mile ride. He was gone before he even hit the ground. It's pretty common in hard endurance sports to hear about heart failure, though I think the benefits outweigh the risks in the long term. This is assuming you are training a normal/sane amount, getting plenty of rest, listening to your body etc etc. Work hard play hard doesn't last forever.
That sounds pretty awesome. It kind of reminded me of doing operational transforms on collaborative documents.
Yeah, when you look at the industry standards that large enterprises use for IT security, is it any wonder?

I am not an IT security expert by any means, but what I've noticed when I look at all of the industry certifications is a focus on taking network engineers and educating them enough to make them able to defend against attackers. What I don't see is any push to take software engineers and educate them about the lower level stuff to defend against hackers. Why is this a problem?

In your typical large enterprise, software people are paid much better than network people. (remember, we're not talking about Google or Rackspace. administering a typical corporate network is relatively simplistic, since the level of variance in software is higher than in network configurations).

I used to work in networking, and quickly got bored and learned software and GTFO of the lame networking world. The networking people I currently know who have obtained the CISSPA security certs have no friggin clue how to code, and frankly just aren't that smart when it comes to this kind of thing. The people I want defending our networks are the folks at DEFCON who are hacking into every other machine in the room just for fun. But if you look at the requirements for getting these industry certs, I don't think these people would even qualify. So you end up getting talented penetration testers and talentless people who have never hacked anything on defense.

It's not an article, it's an editorial. Which means it's both opinion and severely space constrained. I think it's fair to assume the opinion is based on more information than is presented, and they link to studies.

I'm not claiming they're right, but "lazy" is ridiculous.

I think you are slightly confused as to what the other commenters are saying. You are assuming that they are saying that working with cars is irrelevant and that's not the case. I think we can all understand that outside experiences can aid in building software. I personally feel that all high schoolers should take industrial arts classes before graduating, whether it's auto shop, metal shop, or wood shop.

That said, the original posters were complaining that the headline is misleading. Jeff Bezos wasn't sitting at the BMW dealership waiting to pick up his car and found some diamond in the rough that could handle his AWS business. He found a candidate who was highly experienced with the right knowledge base to do the job and that candidate just happened to be a mechanic decades ago.

Paperback books are generally lighter and more grippy. You can also plant your thumb right in the middle of the spine for a balanced feel. Most tablets can't be held this way since their bezel is too thin to be held by only a thumb. Sure, you could attempt it, but you're going to obstruct the view.
"his father wouldn't have bothered to fill out the paperwork required by Medicare"

Having gone thru something kind of similar yet different with my own older relatives, the hospital has a blindingly obvious financial motivation to "help" elderly / senile patients with the paperwork, and therefore there are people on staff walking the halls doing precisely that. Seen it with my own eyes, this is not theoretical. As long as the dollars you can haul in from properly filled out medicare forms exceed the cost of hiring a ombudsman or coordinator or advocate or whatever the job title was...
>>Actually, it does refuse to treat people quite regularly. Aside from emergency department, health care providers are generally free to refuse care for patients they believe cannot pay except in the case of a life-threatening emergency.

This isn't actually accurate at all. Hospitals with emergency departments must stabilize patients in an emergency. Thats it. The emergency room has no responsibility to treat the underlying cause. It isn't a loophole that people take advantage of because you still don't get treatment. I suppose you could show up to multiple emergency rooms and hope one treats you but that isn't something you do if you are chronically hurt.

People who can't afford to get treatment or aren't on medicaid or charity care don't get treated period. You can test this by just comparing the emergency room rates in Massachusetts before and after coverage expansion. More people went to the emergency room once they had coverage than previously.
"9/11 pushed the US into a war with Iraq and Afghanistan,"

I disagree. The US was not pushed into those wars; the US chose both those wars. Neither of those nations presented a threat to the US, and Iraq had no links to 9/11 (and Afghanistan's links were laughably circumstantial - some of the planners lived there; let's have a war!) - it was simply a convenient excuse for the US to launch into a badly thought-out war.

Thing is, I wasn't sleeping the greatest before this job. The place I was at before was less than 30 minute commute. I needed the exercise either way.

The exercise bike was a much cheaper change as well.

True, relative to those things. I guess I was setting the "healthy" bar at things like eggs, oatmeal, whole wheat toast, lower-fat deli meats and completely forgetting about the fact that people eat donuts and other pastries for breakfast.
I really wanted to love HTC. I bought and still enjoy my HTC One X for AT&T ... but their complete lack of support for the mod community, and in fact stonewalling them, has completely turned me off to the company.

I'm not the OP, but I can think of an answer to your final question. Pragmatically speaking, there are only so many hours in the day, and attention is a finite resource too, so by automatically filtering things you are likely to find irrelevant, you can save yourself wasted time and attention.

Some may argue that this limits your ability to discover new things, cutting you off from a broader discussion, but if you continually come away from certain sites disappointed, why wouldn't you want to stop cluttering your life with their articles?
Legally you can sue the Chinese government in a Chinese court, if you can find a Chinese statute that supports your case.
"The 9/11 attacks DID force a nation into an actual, real war (two, actually, in Iraq and Afghanistan, and three if you want to count the generic "War on Terror" that was stepped up dramatically after the attack). "

The US was not forced into those wars. Iraq posed no threat to the US. Afghanistan posed no threat to the US. Pearl Harbour was an act of war by a nation; Japan had serious intent to dominate the Pacific and become the regional economic and military power, and was prepared to do serious damage to the US in order to achieve those aims. 9/11 was an act of terrorism by non-national actors. Iraq and Afghanistan were no threat; the US was not pushed into those wars. The US chose them.

Exactly. When people cry about PC sales diminishing, I am in no way alarmed, because for some things PCs will always be required, such as CAD, programming, etc...

As for the video, I don't think that sort of future is anywhere near us, especially not as soon as 2019. When you look how far technology has come since 2007, it hasn't really come THAT long of a way. Sure, smartphones have gotten bigger and all-touch, and tablets have increased in popularity and usability, but the general usage of technology is still the same. Especially when businesses are still using 90s technology like fax machines, I don't see it happening soon.

2030, perhaps, but 2019 is too soon.
Sure

In one instance in the 1970s I had a great uncle who came into a local clinic complaining about crushing chest-pain, and was told to come back the following day because the attending physician was out for the day. He died on the street of a heart attack while walking home. Why he wasn't immediately rushed to a hospital is beyond me.

More recently, my grandmother, who died in 2004, was wait listed for over a year to get medical imaging and biopsy performed on what she (correctly) assumed was a tumor on her neck. By the time the scan was performed it was determined that she had metastasized lymphoma and the tumor was plainly visible to anyone who could fog a mirror. She died in hospice within a couple of months of being diagnosed.

So what are we to sue for there? Clearly both instances of complete and utter NHS incompetence (and sadly, complacency on the part of my UK relatives) but it's incompetence by omission and rationing, not a doctor embedding a scalpel into someone's tibia.

Had either of my relatives lived in the US, they would have had a much better fighting chance at living than they did at the hands of the NHS.
Everyone requires food, clothing and shelter, and yet we use other mechanisms to insure that our citizens don't go hungry. While not necessary for survival, education is guaranteed by the states, and we use a different model for its delivery.

Neither of those is to say that necessarily Obamacare is the wrong solution but its certainly not the only path.
