What we are talking about are the basic necessities to a life in dignity. A roof over your head and enough to eat and clothe yourself, as well as enough to at least participate in society in some way (e.g. enough money to afford some sort of information gathering thingie, be it a newspaper subscription, TV or phone). The bare minimum.

I happen to believe that no one has the right to deny that anyone. It’s a basic human right. Every human deserves a life in dignity and there is no way to lose that. (And, I know, implementing that world wide right now is practically impossible. That, just like, e.g. any sort of restrictions of freedom of movement, labor, capital and goods, is a travesty but for the near future I’m hopeless about anything changing in that regard. It’s sad and unacceptable.)

Within that understanding of the world (and also the understanding that we won’t have work for everyone as time goes on) something like a guaranteed basic income seems at least like something worth trying out to me. (Many of the current welfare schemes seems broken to me, too focused on tight paranoid control and stigmatizing people.)

But then again, I’m European. (Also, not the person you were originally responding to.)

> When they hit it, they will definitely stop, and replacing the sign is a fraction of the cost of the water sign

Other comments seem to suggest this doesn't work [Low bars etc..] I am not sure how large a problem this is [No audio on vid :(] Asking people to stop sharply on a suddenly wet road doesn't seem an ideal solution.

I think an addition would be to charge the drivers the cost of repair, this is not a tax on stupidity - it is a lesson in taking responsibility in driving an extra-ordinary sized vehicle on a public road.

Thankfully my driving instructor knew the importance of taking responsibility and understanding what that means before you get behind the wheel.
When Social Media Fails Your (Baking Company)
Deadlifts, one of the core exercises of SS, is famous for improving posture when performed correctly.

Lifting weights in general has been shown to improve cardiovascular health; obviously not as much as pure cardiovascular training, but the science is pretty conclusive that it has a positive impact on your heart.

Lifting weights prevents injuries by improving bone density, strengthening connective tissue around troublesome joints (knees, rotator cuff, hips, etc.) and preventing the use of poor posture to accomplish everyday tasks (e.g., instead of hunching your back and stressing your spine to carry a heavy ice chest, you can use the muscles of your upper back). It also adds muscle, which increases your BMR (AKA metabolism).

If your main interest is in gaining muscle and looking better, there may be better routines. But Starting Strength is about one thing ... strength. Pure and simple. It never claims otherwise.

Starting Strength has been used as a fundamental building block by athletic trainers for years; it is often modified to be sport specific, but its fundamental lifts have proven effective over and over. After one has reached strength standards, it is typical (and recommended) to move on to a more advanced strength routine, which may explain why many of the big guys you have met are no longer doing a stripped down strength routine.

Yes, those with serious pre-existing injuries may want to opt for a different program (probably machine based), but that will be true of almost any strength training program. Those with only minor injuries can just start SS at a lower weight and improve more slowly.

Hope that helps address your concerns.
"Today, BlackBerry also announced BBM Channels, a new social engagement platform within BBM that will allow customers to connect with the businesses, brands, celebrities and groups they are passionate about."

Why? Does anyone actually want to connect with, e.g. Target, over BBM? Isn't BBM useful for chatting with friends? Why would they poison it by allowing "brands" onto the platform?

Most recently, I designed and built the website for Backspaces (http://backspac.es), an app for telling stories from your phone.
I am very experienced with Javascript on the frontend and backend, and with libraries like Backbone.js and Socket.io. I am also experienced with Python, using Django and Tornado.

It proves that they responded to this FOIA request by releasing a blank document. There are many different possible reasons why they released a blank document, but that's another question. (One which we can hopefully answer by examining the history of previous FOIA responses, but still another question.)
If someone visited a link, that means they read it. Which means it was decrypted, which means it's not encrypted and secure.

LinkedIn also keeps track of what profiles you've viewed, and uses that to guess people you've known. I believe it may also build a potential connections list based on the IP address as well.
That's probably true, I'm always surprised when I find the answer to a problem is in the manual.
It's probably because he forgot what he was arguing about and defaulted to attacking transfer payments. Isn't that what they (the Hayek quoters)all do - when all else fails, go after 'handouts' because it can always be framed as a moral issue?
With the exception of a very small sub group of people with serious mental issues, it's not a hard problem.

Most of it has been solved already. It's just a matter of having the will to do it. That will is absent.

Most developers in SF laugh at the amount of money their European counterparts get paid after taxes. The don't consider not having to step over homeless people a "benefit". That attitude is your problem right there.
That is a fair assumption. :)

My question is: Once the truck is stopped in front of the sign, presumably with traffic backed up behind it...how do they get it out?
A beginner doesn't need a perfect routine. They need to do something.

Sure, but it can't be just any ol' snake oil thing. If they keep buying into snake oil after snake oil, they will never see results and only become more depressed and unmotivated. Snake oil exercise regimes are actively detrimental because of this.
"It's troubling that any secretive organizations would be able to have this much power over citizens, but the alternative is much scarier. [...] if China gets the upper hand (and they are trying unimaginably hard) then what? What will the sleeping dragon do?"

>By "leaving them alone", you mean "has investigated them numerous times at the urging of various conservatives, and found they didn't violate the law".

No, I don't mean that at all. The IRS has decidedly not applied the same standard. I would have thought the fact that the president himself has described the IRS's conduct as "outrageous" as he tries to run away from the scandal would clue you in a bit.
I wish one of the most important tools for publishing and consuming text on the internet weren't so prone to problems as to require a dedicated health-reporting subsystem.

My text editor and my email client don't need dedicated health-reporting subsystems.
I disagree. By that logic the government should have been reading our mail and recording telegraphs, phone calls, and faxes.

I'm also curious what "threat" this is supposed to protect us from.

There are enough communication mediums to choose from that it's pointless to monitor any of them. It's trivial to find or create one that isn't being monitored. It's not stopping criminals, it's just taking freedom from normal citizens.
Yes, Ruby/Python have strong ecosystems from their 20+ years of existence. Go's third-party packages are still young by comparison. But sometimes it's good to rethink past assumptions, even if it means writing code from scratch.

The feature linked is Ruby refinements, for which much of the community was against. And note, I did not say refinements weren't wanted, clearly they were wanted by someone. I said they aren't needed.
Entrepreneurial folks -- younger ones especially -- are more apt to take the risks or shirk the responsibilities you list. Not everyone will have those responsibilities and many will grant themselves the flexibility to try their own business and see how it goes, because they put a higher value on self-run small business autonomy.

And not every business needs to grow to a VC-backed behemoth. It's possible to manage a smaller business and keep it that way. OP also notes he's looking forward to the challenges associated with that path.
You would rather have the statement remain unopposed, as if fact?

My definition of a company thta matters: Assuming aboout 3-5x earnings for a sale price for most small companies. If I wanted to retire on about $70,000/yr and the market returns about 6% I'd need $1.2 million in earnings assuming 10% profit that's about $12 million in revenue for 4 years which is $3 million in sales.

I am not familiar with any of the 'science', but from what I understand you definitely want to do some sort of strength training. It helps with weight regulation, injury prevention, and overall health. The scientific 7-minute will probably work, or at least be a good place to start.

For me personally, I've noticed that when I pay for a gym membership (or some other fitness program), I actually force myself to use the service due to the financial commitment. When i try and save money by working out at home, I always skip sessions. If I could get better at motivating myself for the home workouts, I would probably do those more, but like someone else said, the best workout is the one that you actually do.
Linode! But that's because I have a lot of other services running on my linode box. If I was hosting the site only I'd probably use github pages or heroku.

They showed footage where low bars did physically stop the truck (or at least tore off the top part of the cargo container), but this still caused debris to be showered across the tunnel entrance, which resulted in large traffic delays.
Aside from the fact that you only read half of my comment, the bench-press and handstand push ups don't completely overlap, but some of the same muscles are used for both of them.
What level of proof do you require?

Out of curiosity, have you filed any FOIA requests?
Agreed. But where there's so little signal to the noise, there's generally not going to be much to debate, just heckling back and forth :p
I don't mean to be harsh, but that sounds a little hand-wavy. Could you elaborate on what types of businesses you have in mind?

I don't think education and income inequality are the real issue here. For the long-term homeless, it's not that they lack job skills. Nor is it that the poor make too little (which they do). Rather, most of these people are disabled, and that is the root cause of their homelessness. In fact, a lot of them do have good educations and once held well-paying jobs. But then something happened: A traumatic head injury, the onset of serious mental illness, an addiction.

Also, note that I explicitly rejected charity as the primary solution to the problem. So yeah, I agree with you that it's not about charity. What I'm suggesting is that governments provide even a minimal safety net. (In some places they do. I don't know what the situation is in SF.)
Forever An Entrepreneur
I wouldn't trust weev's perspective on this right now; his world is currently being specifically controlled by design to maximize his "rehabilitation" by keeping him in a state of constant stress. His lawyer's job is (literally, if you read his law society's rules) to create controversy while facilitating his client through the legal system, because the Lawyer ultimately works for the Courts first, the People second, and his Client third. Weev is not receiving accurate/valuable information while in jail (guards aren't going to tell you why they're moving you), and his lawyer is probably more focused on appeals than his treatment in jail. You will probably not see a mention of this segregation anywhere in the Defendant's future filings.

More than likely, someone got wind in General Population that he was a computer nerd, and an easy mark. he was probably moved to "Administrative Segregation" in order to protect him. Often, effeminate or homosexual males will be put in some sort of protective custody. This segregation is regularly done for retaliation, but all things considered, it's better than the alternative: Guards look the other way while people up for murder/abuse you in your cell.

The downfall of most Administrative Segregation is that the prisoner is now amongst the other segregated prisoners. usually, these prisoners are heavily-drugged, and wander aimlessly, unless they're being lined up for another dose of drugs. This tends to put the observing prisoners in a deep state of depression. I have personally witnessed (within a 2 week period of solitary) more than 10 people break down and ask the guards for drugs, because they were feeling suicidal in the protective environment.

Honestly, it's like sleeping and eating in your bathroom. I hope weev doesn't lose sight of that fact amongst all the "correction" he's experiencing.

I struggled to put up a static generator over there I failed, I tried everything I could. Of course they were helpful but asking them to enable this, enable that every time is plain painful.

I also tried to setup ownCloud and didn't succed again. Finally I moved to vps and I set them up there with some difficulty and then I moved my static files back to Dropbox and left OwnCloud. It was too much trouble.

WebFaction ought to give options to do one click install of static generators and other packages like OwnCloud.

You made baseless assertions, and provided nothing to back them up. Your comment got precisely the response it deserves. Acting indignant does not support your assertions.

The fact that you have some unspecified problem does not mean anyone else who does not have that problem is inexperienced. Given the complete lack of information available, it is just as reasonable to conclude that you are in fact lacking in experience which allows others to solve the problem you continue to refuse to define.

Your post is useless as an argument against this specific exercise since it offers no argument against it - only an appeal to tradition (well, recent tradition since I'm guessing that circular interval training predates any modern incarnation of barbells).

- The article talks about HIIT which is a more general principle and not just a name for this specific exercise. It has been shown to be in some regards better than longer endurance exercises. And yes, with scientific studies with a HIIT group and a control group. The specific exercises that I have seen have been more about running or cycling than body weight exercises for that matter.

- This post was clearly aimed at people that want overall health and not necessarily more explosive strength, yet you only complain about the strength-part.

- EVEN disregarding the last point: you can gain a lot of strength from just body exercises and some props like a bar; all I have to say is gymnasts. I guess you can't accuse that sport of being a recent fad. Whether or not barbells and dumbbells are better comes down to the specifics of explosive versus endurance, strength vs bulk and so on and so on.

> The homeless here are people mostly people with mental health issues that reject or don't respond to treatment.

I would speculate that this is true for San Francisco, especially in the downtown (tenderloin) area.
Yes, obviously a basic level of fitness is important. But improving your body composition (LBM) has long term dramatic benefits to both longevity and quality of life.

Mental issues for sure. There are a few places for the homeless to get food in that area, so it'd be unlikely for a non-mentally-ill person to starve.
I've watched several friends spend two or three years doing nothing but hunt for a job, and they were lucky enough to have friends with couches to crash on, enough money for interview clothes and a computer to access job ads on. You act like that's a trivial step: it's not.

Besides the challenge of actually finding a job, a minimum wage job won't cover rent in SF and certainly not with money left over for things like food, transportation or phone service. Have you seen the installation art piece about the minimum wage? It's a box with a crank on it that spits out a penny every 4.97 seconds: http://disinfo.com/2012/12/the-mininum-wage-machine/ That's what working is like to most people, except often more dangerous and demeaning.

China can't attack us via telegraph and phone the way it can via the internet.

I don't think the government needs to be reading our text messages. I do think it's silly to pretend nothing has changed in 200 years. Electronic warfare is going to be a thing, and I want to live in a world where the U.S. has the upper hand in it, not China.

We're going to have to figure out a way that accommodates U.S. dominance over electronic networks while reasonably protecting everyone's' privacy. We're not going to do that by burying our heads in the sand and pretending nothing has changed in 200 years.
Surprised to see no one mentioned google cloud storage. Similar to s3, but with much lower latency.
For me, alas, with 5 windows open and many, many tabs per window, Firefox regularly climbs into the 1 Gig+ memory range. The solution: less windows and tabs, I guess. But I was hoping / expecting the memory profile to change significantly over the past few builds.

And yes, I am using the latest build, I check about:memory regularly, stripped out the unneeded add-ons, but maybe I've just got too much stuff open and those pages have lots of script activity.

Is my usage the issue or is there something that can be improved in my scenario?
The process damages more than half of society, though.

It's going to useless in Europe as well. I doubt that the credit card companies will approve a terminal of any kind that relies on the magnet strip, rather than the chip.

I actually had a meeting with a guy from a credit card clearing company yesterday. His comment was that the credit card companies have pretty much given up on introducing chip and PIN to the US. They'll just let the US keep the magnet strip and signature until they can replace the credit card with things like VISA Wallet, NFC or whatever the solution will be.
Good question. I read the article and I still don't think I know.

Impressive back-patting going on there, though.

They would get them for contempt of court or obstruction of justice for being not unwilling but rather unable to fulfill the request?

That seems wrong. Would they also do that if logging failed during the period requested? Or if they simply neglected to log in the first place?

Edit to your Edit: I don't see how the 5th is involved in the slightest. If party A has a secret, and the courts subpena party B, then party B's inability to comply has nothing to do with pleading the 5th. They simply do not have the information requested, and in fact never possessed it in the first place. Furthermore, party B cannot possibly be said to have been negligent. The courts subpenaed the wrong person.

Sure, but even sedentary people only lose a pound of muscle a year. It is really easy to maintain once you have spent that 2-3 years building a foundation, as you did, with weights.
