Good trainers are hard to find but invaluable. You can try:

or,if you are lucky, finding a Starting Strength training camp in your area.

Otherwise, take a video camera and film yourself. Review it after your set and later at night and compare it against the technique described in Starting Strength. It will be very wrong at first. Fix it. When you think you finally got it right post a video form check on the Starting Strength forums and they will tell you what you missed.

How would you feel getting a vaguely aggressive message every day from some random company? I can't imagine there are very many people who would appreciate it. In fact, I can't imagine there're very many people on the planet who would think it's a good idea.

The only way anyone ever thinks some stupid thing like this is a good idea is if they're blindly following the results of their A/B testing without taking a look at the big picture. The kinds of people who do this are the same people who play D&D as minmaxers, rule-lawyers and metagamers, then get confused when the gaming group falls apart. You might be measuring conversion rates (or XP and magic items gamed), but conversion rates are not your business. The point of a business is to make something people want to buy, just as the point of a D&D session is to have fun.

By blindly following the numbers without thinking about the people involved, you optimize yourself into the ground.

Actually, HSBC has openly admitted to knowingly and willfully taking active steps to disable specific automated countermeasures put in place to prevent money laundering, as well as deliberately under-staffing departments responsible for AML compliance. There is little question as to their guilt or complicity.[1] Their punishment? Slightly more than a month's worth of revenue.

I think that it's largely a way for Anarcho-Syndicalists to describe ourselves without using an anachronistic word like Syndicalist:)

If it helps, I find "liberty" as associated with "property rights" crazy. Totally ordered property rights are a symptom of a completely overarching state. The idea that people who are repulsed by aggressive force support land ownership rights and think that works is weird.
I think patio11 is spot on here. Lifecycle emails are very pragmatic. They might be annoying to some users but in general they are a great idea.

First off, I have never run a project on KickStarter so I don't know any of the details first-hand. I'm only guessing -- Amazon has a product called Amazon Flexible Payments Service. One of the things this API allows is marketplaces where you facilitate payments between buyers and sellers and take a cut of the transaction. This is probably how KickStarter works and takes their 5% cut; it's KickStarter's code and API keys that kick off the payment, and while the money ends up in the individual Amazon Payments account of the project starter, the fee gets sliced off and deposited to KS's account. So while they are not a processor or the recipient of the funds, they're still tied to every transaction; plus, they no doubt have a special arrangement with Amazon due to the amount of money they're handling and the fact that Amazon doesn't accept other crowdfunding services as customers of its payment services.
That's still looking at things the wrong way round. Even in your quote, it mentions the need to control for things like cardiorespiratory fitness.

The conclusion that muscular strength will always improve your health does not imply that other things are useless! (And note that the linked routines does attempt to improve muscular strength, but the whole point of it was to be something you could do without special equipment.)
This seems like a good idea now that I think about it some more. The Kickstarter goal should be the minimum amount needed to get a viable product to market. Once you've figure out that you can make it, you should shift your product to a store model and direct users from Kickstarter to the store to purchase it.

Too much money in these cases may create a sense of complacency and encourage "take it and run".

If you pushed hard enough, you could probably make a case for anything on Etsy as being "not handmade." Where did the yarn in that "handmade" sweater come from? Was it hand-spun? Who raised the sheep?! Is the dye from hand-raised and harvested vegetable sources or is it... INDUSTRIAL?!1?!

Given Etsy's touchy-feely narrative I'm betting they're just generally kind of suspicious of anything electronic and being disproportionately harsh in this case...

Robots.txt are an industry-standard, but non-legally-binding method of denying access. If you wish to actually deny access, the proper, legally-recognized means for doing so is by actually denying access (i.e., by using .htaccess or similar means).

Also, mens rea (i.e., "guilty mind" or colloquially, intent) is a criminal law concept that has no relevance in the civil/tort law realm. It doesn't matter whether the machine has been programmed to ignore robots.txt because no law requires a software program to obey robots.txt.

Bitcoin doesn't launder money, but does enable the barter economy to be more liquid and scalable. Barter is very difficult to tax, so there is the issue.

Exactly the point. All the money laundering talk is complete bs when it comes to terrorism. There is only one reason, and that is that government wants their taxes.
Maybe there should be government whistle-blower laws to try to prevent these kinds of things from happening.

If you live nearby is it possible for an Etsy representative to come and watch you manufacture a single item?

This way IP is kept relatively confidential, unless the viewer can remember every single detail and I doubt this unless they are very skilled with building electrical components.
You could also get them to sign a non-disclosure agreement if you are concerned.

I also agree this seems unfair, many of the products on etsy don't seem to pass this same test.

I think sooner or later a more agnostic VM in the browser will came. HTML was for hypertext, now (almost) it is for general UIs.

The problem is how to make a standard if organizations like Mozilla are not part of that? I think it is not so difficult: don't have a VM? emulate it with asm.js. Do you have a VM? run your application at full speed in more advanced browsers. When Google Chrome came with a faster Javascript engine, others needed to catch up.
This is why you can't depend on such a middleman to run your business. You need to set up your own shop and focus all your efforts there. I understand etsy was probably generating a lot of sales for you, but this is the reality of depending on a middleman.

Here is the first sentence from the top comment in this thread.

>This is a waste of time.

He then goes on to explain that the only way to get real and lasting benefits from an exercise routine is to go to the gym and lift weights.
awesome little piece of history
why isn't this treated as a serious security issue?
He's already built the device, so yes, pictures of him sanding and shaping, measuring and cutting, fitting and finishing, should be doable; even if not as fine as he would normally build them, it should be possible to demonstrate and photograph within the allotted time frame.
I got some potentially chronic knee injuries lifting weights. As someone who barely squats ~235 these are probably not too serious. I made mistakes in form and routine to get them, serious mistakes that I see others making at the gym. I see more people make very noticeable mistakes in squat/deadlift form than not. These are average athletic 185 lbs at 6' at globo gym, hardcore gyms would be the opposite. That's where most injuries come from for non-elite athletes. Also mistakes in choosing routines, stay away from elite athlete workouts.

After correcting form and playing around with routine and resistance level, these "injuries" are bothering me a lot less. I used to do squats 3x5 at 180-220 lbs twice a week. Now doing one medium weight 3x8 back squat day, one light front squat day, one heavy 3x5 day. Increasing the frequency seems to help keep the knee ready over the course of the week.

And runners and swimmers get injuries too. I had those. One particularly memorable calf muscle pull swimming, painful to walk for over a month.

The benefits of progressive strength training over staying in "shape" exercising is that it gets your body closer to its natural well fed, well prepared state. It simulates the life humans evolved for, hunter gatherers or farmers, not lethargic bed ridden hipster skinny jeans.

Your bone density increases, your hormone levels become normal. Your face looks less childlike. I know from personal experience it helps a lot with depression and others believe this as well. Exercising without progressing to a recommended level of strength, 2.5xBW deadlift, 2xBW squat, etc. just doing 50 pushups, bunch of light curls, left me feeling not much better and not motivated to continue. But I was in extremely bad shape, people who live actively don't need a strength training shock treatment to feel normal.
Yes. Proportionally, tigers can't jump as high as their smaller cousins, can't run as fast as their smaller cousins and unlike humans still use quadripedal locomotion.

A VC is an investor. A Kickstarter is a donation. That attitude is a big part of the problem.
> Bodyweight exercises tend to have larger jumps in difficulty.

What's worse is that the exercise actually changes. So you're doing a exercise that requires more strength, that you haven't and cannot practice at a lower level of difficulty.
Thats news to me. I din't know someone with a higher karma gets a better voting rank. Reminds me of what Digg wanted to achieve and it backfiring.
Except that when you replace "physical strength" with "cognitive strength", you start having sentences that are very obviously false, like this one: "Whereas previously our intelligence determined how much food we ate and how warm and dry we stayed, it now merely determines how well we function in these new surroundings we have crafted for ourselves as our culture has accumulated."

Pretty sure it was the Pebble Watch. Their largest, most publicized project was called in to question after repeated delays.

I think the subsequent changes (i.e. no renderings) made make the platform substantially better. But they still need to get away from that "presale" perception that the general public has.

The first few projects I backed were friends or just because I thought they were cool ideas that would be awesome in real life. Getting something in return was really, in its purest form, a 'perk'.
Didn't realize that, thanks.

I disagree. I think most readers here (on Hacker News) are in the 99% category of Patrick's fictional scenario. Perhaps some of the contributors here are in the 1% that would get grumpy, but I doubt even amongst the contributors that it would be all of them.

Personally, I've used Weebly, and recommended it to many people. This level of emailing only happens if a) you're in the email-frequently side of their A/B test, and b) you don't manage to publish your site. If you do manage to publish your site - which is presumably why you signed up in the first place (unless you're the OP, who is clearly a somewhat unique Weebly user) - you won't get any of these emails! I honestly can't see what all the fuss is about.
Wait, what does LG stand for now?
When the goal has been hit, users are more likely to back the project than when the goal was not hit. I think Formlabs founders also explained this in their post-Kickstarter interviews- they intentionally set initial goal below what they actually needed, in hopes that it's surpassed quickly.
Same thing happened to me with Window Farms, backed for $1k and they "cant afford shipping to canada" ... At this point I dont care though, at least they made the product and got it into the hands of the US backers.

> The last time I checked my ethics and fundamental laws, the burden of the proof was on the accuser, and the doubt was with the defendant

That is the case when there is punishment available, and both parties are acting in good faith. When the defendant is a "spammer" then there isn't really any punishment available: eg suing them would be extremely expensive and unlikely to succeed for logistical reasons. And a spammer isn't acting in good faith - they are poisoning the well. If you tell them exactly how your "poison" detector found what they were doing, then you've just told them how to work around it so the arms race escalates with the spammer getting a head start.
