I would suggest the following:

- If you're squatting high bar, switch to low bar because it puts less stress on the knees.

- Practice the "asian squat" stretch. Squat all the way down while keeping your weight on your heels and sit there for a while. Do you have a tendency to want to tip forward onto the balls of your feet when you do that? If so, that's a problem and you need to practice this position more.

- Get a foam roller and foam roll all sides of your legs (especially your IT band) and your glutes before squatting. I have chronic IT band tightness on one side that pulls on something in my knee and gives me pain around the patellar tendon, but it goes away when I foam roll the side of my leg.

- Do lots of warmup reps with bodyweight and/or just the bar.

- Don't stop at parallel. Squat below parallel, until you get a "bounce" from the stretch reflex of your hamstrings. If you stop at parallel, there is shearing force on the patellar tendon as that's where the tension is at the time when you change directions. But if you go all the way down, there is almost no load on your patellar tendon at the bottom when you change directions--the load is transferred to your glutes and hamstrings.

Based on what you've told me, I really think it's likely you aren't squatting down low enough, and that's irritating your patellar tendons.
Why shouldn't I work for the NSA? That's a tough one. But I'll take a shot. Say I'm workin' at the NSA and somebody puts a code on my desk, somethin' no one else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it and I'm real happy with myself cause I did my job well, but maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East and once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels are hiding, fifteen hundred people I never met, never had no problem with get killed.
Now the politicains are sayin' "Oh send in the marines to secure the area, cause they don't give a shit, won't be their kid over there gettin' shot just like it wasn't them when their number got called cause they were all pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southy over there takin' shrapnel in the ass. He comes back to find that the plant he used to work at, got exported to the country he just got back from, and the guy that put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job cause he'll work for 15 cents a day and no bathroom breaks.
Meanwhile, he realises the only reason he was over there in the first place was so that we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price, and ofcourse the oil companies use a little skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices, a cute little ancilliary benefit for them, but it ain't helpin' my buddy at 2.50 a gallon. Their takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, of course maybe they even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martini's and fuckin' play slolum with the icebergs. It ain't to long til he hits one, spills the oil, and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic... so now my buddy's out of work, he can't afford to drive, so he's walkin' to the fuckin' job interviews which sucks cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him cronic hemroids and meanwhile, he's starvin' cause everytime he tries to get a bite to eat the only blue plate special their serving is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State....
so what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure fuck it, while Im at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe, and join the National Guard. I could be elected President.
SendMedia.net - Upload files & images to send to your clients & colleagues
Yeah, google know your home and where your workplace is but doesn't publish it to everyone.
Facebook did that with a lot of information. Plus it may change how things behave without you agreement (think of @facebook.com emails)

Google also use that data to provide a service (automatically call the navigation app to came back home at night or just give you a reminder on places you go every week). I doon't think facebook will give any kind of service other than keep my friens updated about whatever I do and wherever I go and this is frightening (not the fact that a big company has this data but the fact that everyone will know it)
That said you could probably save quite a bit on your lawyers bill if you use either of below as a starting point:

Android already offers lock screen widgets, so it's possible FB Home will include something to that effect that would show even while the phone is locked.

It would be entirely optional to use that widget, however, unless FB Home is able to replace the lock screen itself. As far as I know, that can't be done without rooting the device.
We has a similar issue to solve. One part of our app is comparable to the inbox of an email client (list of messages). We launched a new dashboard view, where people could add all sorts of charts and also lists of messages. We used the same code / css for that, but here as well we wanted to hide / unhide certain things in the message depending on the width of the widget. We finally added some very simple (and highly restrictive) js code to make it happen in some way. Check this gist to see what we did: https://gist.github.com/folke/5314876
Technically, you can only DM people who follow you. Whether you follow them is irrelevant.

Twitter is a pub sub model, it doesn't really make sense to want to sub but not sub. Twitter follows aren't like friendships at all, they're a "I want to see your content" marker.
I agree. Besides, most people who use Facebook are those "I have nothing to hide" types.

I'm not sure how Firefox OS vs Android OS really factors into the discussion. If Firefox OS is fully-featured and open enough to become an alternative to Android, FB Home could conceivably be built to run just as well on Firefox OS as on Android.
Is it just me, or has EA gone completely off the rails? How does this happen? Do all organizations lose their ability to care about their customers at some point along their growth?
I wonder if you could do machine learning on schemata. Basically start learning about dates (as an example) and as it learns updates the information with what it has learned. Something that has one person putting in { name "foo", born "10/1/92"} and someone else putting in { name "bar", born "september 30th, 1966" } and then going back and replacing the dates with an ISO standard date type but with a change history so you could look backwards in time at the data and see how the database had "improved" it. (or not). Then by voting on the improvements you teach the system to clean up its data representations. Crazy? Insightful? Stupid? I don't know but it was the question that popped into my head.

One nice property of the Wikidata database is that it is a "secondary database. Wikidata will record not just statements, but their sources, thus reflecting the diversity of knowledge available and supporting the notion of verifiability." [1]

I think that's far better than voting. Voting for facts amounts to relying on a logical fallacy: appeal to the majority. [2] (Voting is fine for popularity contests, or things that can only be matters of opinion, but facts?)

Salts make cracking a list of N password hashes take roughly N times as long, but if a password is cracked anyway (because it's common and/or because the hash is not using very many rounds, or because an attacker only cares about one particular account), and the password is reused elsewhere, the fact that it was salted doesn't matter anymore.

GP is right; if owners of the leaked accounts [email, hash] pairs are reusing passwords, the leaked hashes are potentially useful even though scribd has reset them. They're simply not useful for logging in to scribd.

It's pretty clear from the website and the coverage that it does replace the lock screen itself:

Now, whether or not it replaces the lock screen when it has a passcode/security, is a different story.

Do your friends have to be clowns?

I have gone from facebook for coming up on two years, but I see some of the pictures posted on my girlfriends feed. A good portion (she is a college student) are pictures of fairly messy nights out.

Even if its not toilet pictures, a picture of a drunk, scantily clad teenager may not look any better, and these pictures dominate facebook. At least the feeds of young people that I know.
Why? Because he chose to primarily comment about movies in public? And you don't consider movies worthy of intellectual commentary?
No idea. I have been looking for some indication in the coverage but there's been none that I've seen. It seems clear (see my reply before) that it replaces the lock screen when it's not password protected.
Agreed. I'm actually learning Python at the moment (coming from Ruby & Java), and am finding this useful. Generally I don't think too highly of coding in a browser.

Well, to the extent that Google+ is a wannabe Facebook, it can't be any better, right?

Without getting into an argument of which is worse, I think ultimately Facebook is more dangerous. Facebook has tremendous network effects and lock-down effects. I can switch from Google to DDG easily, but as long as my family in Bangladesh uses Facebook to post pictures of my nieces and nephews, my ability to switch away from Facebook is limited.

And I don't personally care--I'm not a private person and anything you want to know about me is probably on the internet. But I'm making an informed decision (within the constraints of the fact that Google and Facebook don't disclose exactly how they use your information, but I assume the worst). In my experience, most people who use Google and Facebook aren't.

Don't get me wrong. I think this stuff is useful. But there needs to be more transparency and more restraint than there is. A ban on collecting data on minors would be a start.
Google Launches Drive App Data Folders
Exactly, of course, unless the licensing terms to modify FirefoxOS as much as Android are onerous to the likes of Facebook.

I think the pining for FirefoxOS is only meaningful if Mozilla takes a stand on privacy or the like. And they're not in a strong position to do so.
Back in 2011, I got my first exposure to WebKit and OSS in general as I was hanging out at my friend's office in downtown MV, 9pm on some random weekday.

I recall him working on submitting a patch (which I think got accepted after a few necessary revisions) to WebKit, and him explaining to me how WebKit is behind both Safari and Chrome, and how even though the companies and its fanboys are grabbing at each others' throats, the developers are happily working together, conversing casually on the mailing list and on twitter. It reminded me of the great sports rivalries, where the fans and media rile up the heat and hatred, but the players themselves remain respectful to their brethren on the other side of the lines.

In the years since, I've been able to help out some OSS projects as a non-coder, and I look back and think that learning about the collaboration behind WebKit certainly nudged me a little bit towards this direction.

It's a bit sad for me to see the Google and Apple teams split in this manner, since it was such a visible and prominent example of how OSS can bridge corporate divides, but I am hopeful that down the line we'll all look back at this moment in history with fondness.
Agree. It's like WikiPedia: Make it easy for the community to decide how to organize it. Nothing stopping anyone from just populating this db in whatever format they prefer then publishing their own docs explaining their data model ... Let the audience decide if that's useful or not.
yes, but i'm expecting mozilla will have vastly more granular and privacy-first oriented permissions than android. since google wants your data, and mozilla does not.

ideally, i would like to hook and script a conditional firewall of sorts between any apps and my hardware or data. for example, i dont want any app querying my location when i am at home or at work. how awesome would it be to set rules like this?

some invasive permissions are ok when i choose to allow them, but not indefinitely so long as the app lives on my phone, which is the situation right now. i can do a lot of quasi-scripting with Tasker for android, but not nearly enough.

Luckily, Android's lock screen has deep dependencies (purges in-memory passwords for VPN, for example), so it can't be disabled be an app. That said, it can be prevented from appearing due to a timeout. Pressing the power button should always lock your phone.

The phone’s GPS can send constant information back to the Facebook servers,
telling it your whereabouts at any time.

I really hope someone can finally make something like Loopt work on smartphones. I can't believe we need to manually check in to see where friends are right now. FindMyFriends on iOS requires your apple password, and much like GameCenter, the social design is horrendous.

Focusing just on the privacy side ignores all the benefits from giving a service more information. Facebook isn't tricking users into this. Users want it.
So Facebook can now do everything Apple and Google has been able to do for years.

I don't see this as shady. Suing and defending being sued is expensive enough to worry even medium sized companies. Exploring other options first seems like good business practice to me.
I was expecting something similar, but looking at the responses it seems like it was just there mostly for google. Any way , supporting v8 on webkit would be a burden when it's main developer is no longer there.
Facebook doesn't need to fork Android. They're commandeering Android from Google. People using this will be spending time in Facebook's ecosystem, pushing Google's services into the background. And considering that Google doesn't directly profit from Android but instead tries to profit from people using their services and subsequently ads, this is bad for Google.

Just read the link and decide for yourself. I encourage you to give it a shot. Stronglifts 5x5 is very far from deserving of the bravado accusation you make. You start out on this program with a humble empty bar and work your way up. There's no bravado, no flash, no rock hard pump you up crap. Being suspicious is healthy, but read the actual content on either Stronglifts 5x5 or Starting Strength before you criticize their content.

My main issue with this is that the special building doesn't actually play by the rules of the game. It's a charging station that somehow doesn't draw power from your grid. Bizarre and stupid (like so many decisions EA made when developing this game).
It's still a fact, the context affects the meaning of the statement.
I agree with OM, Facebook Home is not just one app but a suite of apps running on your phone. The scary part is that these would be bundled by OEM's and might be harder to stop and even uninstall :( Think about the scenarios when you start to see all kinds of ad's popping up on your home screen and impossible to remove? . Remember, fb still needs to solve the problem of serving ad's on mobile well.
How? Because you think it's Facebook's stalking horse? Or because you think Home is going to flop like the ROKR?
I don't think we should be too surprised with how FB will use the new data. I'm just wondering who Facebook is going to share this data with.

I know a guy who works at one of Facebook's "partner companies" that pays gobs for FB user data. This partner company gets (as far as they can tell) fully-populated user data in Facebook's user dumps - way, way more information than they need or ask for. So the partner company puts this data through arduous preprocessing steps to filter out most of the details before any user data hits real systems. They're scared of the legal liability of holding onto all the personal details they receive don't need but Facebook shares anyway because Facebook genuinely doesn't care as long as they're monetizing.

So yeah, I'm scared of where this new data is going to go. Not what FB uses it for themselves.
It's not an MVP, I'd call it a non-functional prototype. But it's a good idea. Here's some thoughts:

- Cut the amount of copy, the site is WAY too wordy. Read some blog posts about copywriting

- it doesn't need more features yet. Make the features you are showing work, and then clean up the design on them

- Start a blog and a podcast, interviewing exciting restauranteurs. Use content to build the Forage brand

- new logo

As for the actual files, there are a few clues that a chroot is created for every request : /proc is not mounted, /etc is minimal (root + 1 user in passwd) and "ls -id /" returns a new inode number every time.
I think intention has a lot to do with acceptability. User-made mods to add realism are much different in intent than an ad that, while functionally the same thing, is meant simply to sell ad space.
I've encountered one scenario where element queries would be incredibly useful: web app designs that include sidebar navigation that toggles open and collapses. This design pattern makes responsive design a little bit more difficult. The main challenge is that the width of the main content pane changes depending on the state of the sidebar. Your media query to scale down an element or rearrange a layout, often has to default to happening at a greater window width than otherwise necessary (if the sidebar is collapsed), because of the potential for the sidebar being open. There are some gross ways to work around this with JS, but I don't think it's worth it. An element query would make it easy to watch the width of the main content pane, independent of the sidebar pane's state.
