Not an expert, but a confusing aspect is open chain vs closed chain exercises.

Open chain exercises leave the foot or hand free to move (like swimming) and because of the lack of support they can actually exacerbate injuries. Instead of putting a joint under compression they put it under tensive strain.

Closed chain exercises are the opposite, the hand or foot is rooted in place (pushups, running, squats, etc) and because of this they add stability through the compression, BUT because of the compression they can also exacerbate injuries (especially because closed chain exercises are often weighted or involve repeated impact).

In the end, like most things, there is no one size fits all. In some situations closed chain is better, other open chain is better. For the average person it doesn't matter as much as most people think. If you're injured consult an expert for exercise to do, if you don't want to do that avoid exercises that cause joint pain.

Most of the studies are injury-specific and not in 100% agreement.

I worked in a 24/7 technical support center, which one was number off my country's major airline. The amount of times I had to inform people, that just because they'd managed to call a software company in my country, didn't mean that I could change their flights.

You would get people who would call up, launch into a rigmarole about their booking, I would listen for a few minutes before interrupting and saying 'You are aware that this is Company Name, right?', and they would still keep going. Fun stuff.
I just found this post, it's a pretty good review of the madness: http://evbogue.com/haters

"Learning to deploy Node.js is probably one of the hardest things I've done with my life to date. It's a different kind of challenge than traveling around the globe, or throwing out all of your shit."
Because he's probably travelling in a Roy Orbison wig and sunglasses.
If you ask a cannibal what's the taste of human flesh, he will say "pork", which makes this hypothesis funny.

That said, this is way, way too far fetched. Proposing that a primate and a primitive ungulate can produce an hybrid is already a big stretch, let alone producing a fertile one. Then, he supports his claim by refusing the genetics, and hand picks morphology aspects from the suinae that confirm his theory.

What did it for me was the "naked skin" evidence though. It's the human-selected, domestic pig that is hairless.
Yes he did actually. He said: "But, the whole choice / consequences meme rings hollow, it's a way for the wealthy to justify whatever awful things they may have done in order to get rich...."

It seems to me, if they're saying anything, it's this:

> We have put the trademarked phrase "Designed by Apple in California" on our actual products. We work hard on them, we pick everything that goes into them and arrange it very precisely, and then we put our marque on it to let you know that this thing, this combination of parts, is something we approve of.

> There are a lot of products coming out of China and elsewhere that seem, on first glance, very similar to our stuff. But on closer inspection, they use inferior parts, they don't arrange them the same way, and of course, they don't use our software--you can only get that from us. Still, you might get confused, especially on the things that don't even have an Apple logo on them, like our tiny iPhone AC/USB adapters and so forth.

> Just look for "Designed by Apple in California." Like "Rolex" or any of those other high-value brands, we can sue anyone who puts that phrase on a product that isn't ours--so inevitably, it either won't be there on these weak parody-products, or it'll be an odd faux-image: something like "Designed by Appl in Cauliflower." † If you see that, put the product back on the shelf: the Apple brand got the recognition it has because of our commitment to perfection, and these products won't give you any of that.

...or, rather, that's what they would probably say, if their PR-brand didn't have a distinct flavor that precludes saying things like that. Instead, they have to just remind people that their brand exists, and hope the subtext gets through, brand-marque recognition goes up, and counterfeit purchases go down.

† I actually have a third-party 35W iPhone AC charger that says just this. It works okay with my old 4th-gen iPod Nano; but somehow puts my iPhone 4 into a mode where it thinks it's already charged (not the same as the "not charging" mode when I plug it into an unpowered USB port on a hub, by the way.)
The scientist behind this hypothesis makes no such claim:

"For my own part, curiosity has carried me away from my old idea of reality. I no longer know what to believe. Is it possible that so many biologists might be wrong about the nature of human origins? Is it possible for a pig to hybridize with a chimpanzee? I have no way of knowing at present, but I have no logical or evidential basis for rejecting the idea. Before dismissing such a notion, I would want to be sure on some logical, evidentiary basis that I actually should dismiss it. The ramifications of any misconception on this point seem immense." --from macroevolution.net

He says it would be possible and there's evidence in physiology. Saying there's no way or that it would be a miracle (and dismissing it for that) is showing a misunderstanding of evolution. Given enough time and enough tries, it could happen.

A bacterium becoming a mitocondrium within a cell is one of the most astounding miracles of life and scientists have never been able to reproduce it (and mind you, generations of cells come by far easier and faster than of chimps and pigs), yet it happened, perhaps exactly and only once, but it happened and that's why all animals exist.

I think, like the author, that some curiosity and imagination is never a bad thing. It's led to our most interesting discoveries.

Dude, this is cool. Really like the organization of projects/sub-tasks, it's what I've been looking for for several years. UI is awesome and everything is snappy and clean, too. I'll get back to you if I find something adverse.

Shared hosting. Welcome to 1999.
Unless I missed something, there is no such thing as "net neutrality" for cell phone networks.

And anyway, this is probably a misconfigured NAT device somewhere, not an intentional plan to block third-party SIP services.
I believe he addresses that by suggesting backcrossing with the chimp line. Still seems extraordinary such a cross should originally be even remotely viable.
Then presumably the founders ought to do do the same... ie. charge 3-4x their opportunity cost as "investment" into the company. Then that brings the contractor's proportion back down (to say, 10% assuming he's working quater-time and there are two other full-time founders). And then of course, his role should be substantially discounted based on commitment to the company.

Plus, using 3-4x rates would be awful when talking to investors. The opportunity/contractor inflated rates would quickly dilute any investments over time.

EDIT: I'm agreeing with tptacek. Trying to compensate a part-time contractor to get founder-level equity (eg. 10%) in proportion to "time put in" would be bloody insane!
I was pretty surprised to read that (apparently) Google did this without even a heads up to alternativeTo. Seems like it would have at least been polite, if nothing else ...
I agree with the message behind this post, but it comes across as hyperbole. The thing that irks me on his website is that the sole payment method for his eBook (Deploy Node) is PayPal. Nothing wrong with this of course, but in the context of this post, well it seems a bit off.
Tricycles vs. Training Wheels
No. I may respond with "lol". That's it.
I wonder why the first line of Mr. R's letter ends with "requestof" instead of the "request of" seen in Mr. Cavalletto's letter.

That kind of variation is unusual in a form letter like this.
If we assume that $10,000 for every person would instantly cause exactly that much inflation (which I don't think is a settled question), then the net effect would be a transfer of wealth from people with more than the average amount of money to those with less than the average amount of money.

I don't think we can dismiss that out of hand. It seems like a pretty bog-standard social welfare program.
* perform major surgery = communicate securely.

Lightnets. I like it. I'm adopting the term. Just today, I was jotting down some notes about setting up some Tor/I2P/etc. gateways in preparation for research (and hopefully helping out with the development of such tools), and when I wrote "darknet" I felt a little icky.

So, where do I sign up to join this conspiracy of light?
No : Potatoes will cost the same for everyone (even the rich). So the cost of purchasable goods does not decrease (which would happen, if some people got free potatoes, for instance). Agreed, there would be more money in the economy, so there would be a step-wise inflation, but the pain would be shared out (mainly according to ability to pay).

The benefit of a basic income is that any paid work would simply add to your take-home cash. At the moment, means-tested benefits can cause people entering into the workforce to have benefits removed - so that their implicit marginal tax rate can exceed 100% (i.e. they are worse off working). Even if this perverse situation isn't directly manifested, the very poor suffer some of the highest implicit tax rates
due to benefits being removed. Which is a crazy situation.
Don't be so sure. I was on a jury recently, and the deference given to the government position is alarming. Your fellow Americans are ready to send you to jail.
This is on HN because NSA has craploads of information on everyone, and errors like these can send that information to people that should not have it.

Proving the point, that NSA should not have that craploads of information stored in first place.
I may have been a bit rash to say, "there are no problems that adding scrypt solves," but whether you need a KDF for encryption is more of a practical problem. There are many circumstances where it makes sense, but I'd consider that a part of your password policy. In general, encryption is secure by itself, and I'd avoid adding unneeded steps.

As for password hashing, that is a very different application than deriving a key for encryption. You are storing the result (usually in a database), and in the case there is a leak, hoping that no one can brute-force the passwords. This is when you start the process of changing salts and work values (in the case of scrypt), and getting everyone to change their password. Using a KDF in this case makes a lot of sense.
Like you, running has changed my life. I started on a whim last year and haven't looked back even though I've been hit with a few minor injuries that have been frustrating.

If you've always been curious but never found you could handle running, then do yourself a favour and check out C25K and the Robert Ullrey podcasts (http://www.c25k.com/). They're a great way to ease into running by giving you progressively increasing difficulty. Best of all they're free and I don't know anyone who's stuck with it and hasn't been able to run a 5k by the end of the 9 weeks.

I've solved many a startup challenge during my longer runs, solved bugs during the meditative bliss and felt a huge boost in my self confidence. Perhaps best of all, you'll also get better in the sack, but don't take my word for it : http://www.canada.com/story.html?id=2dc6f60b-11a7-421f-9ab2-...

Shameless self-promotion while also using the same service you denounce. Why did you post your criticism of Medium on Medium? You wanted a larger audience to hear your opinion. That's what the majority of writers on services like Medium are aiming for. Plenty of people currently joining Medium in troves are probably just as capable of creating their own blog, and I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of them use both. Syndicated sites are where people come to have their voice heard. Just like how this was posted on Hacker News, a central site where like-minded individuals enjoy viewing pertinent information and have a larger discussion about these matters. Isn't that one of the primary functions of the internet?

Plus, using names like 'Shitter' and 'F*book' made me discredit your argument rather quick, personally. What's next, is 'Micro$oft' also keeping you down? Or would you rather everyone create their own OS?

On another note, IRC is a safe-haven? That's fascinating news.
Ask HN: Entrepreneurship culture vs. Economic freedom 
This question is primarily for Americans. If you had to give a number percentage wise, how much would you say the entrepreneurship culture of America contributes towards innovation and business success vs the economic freedom (ie. lower taxes) of America.

I am asking because while i think both are important i don't think low taxes alone speaks to America's economic success.
If you're going to troll, please do it somewhere other than HN.

i think you could describe this person without being so aggressively unfriendly. [edit: i think what i am saying is that really you should try not to be yourself quite so obviously.]
While the hypothesis itself seems rather unlikely, I think the evidence is interesting enough that further investigation would certainly yield some interesting results in their own right.

Major leaps in scientific thinking can often start with some pretty radical albeit erroneous ideas. But even if not true, these ideas can encourage a fresh perspective and a new approach for teasing apart the observable world.

You can try to weasel out of it, but for all intents and purposes you did. Here is how you did it:

1. You compared the situation A to a hypothetical situation B, claiming it to be equivalent or comparable - A <=> B

2. You claim that someone describing the hypothetical situation as an overreacting description of the hypothetical situation - Describe (P, O (B)) => Insane (P)

3. By extension you imply that the person considering the first situation overreacting is also insane - Describe (P, O (A)) => I (P)

(A <=> B, Describe (P, O (B)) => Insane (P))
=> (Describe (P, O (A)) => Insane (P)

Its probably unintentional as you did attempt to soothe it out (but that didn't help)

Personally I find that using the "understanding" method works much better than the "sootheing" method i.e.

"I understand why you think this way - <explanation of your understanding of the thought process of the other person> but you're wrong because <explanation where thought process goes wrong>"

Running is vary dependent on age, stride, body size and style. For example a tall and slightly over weight runner with a poor stride has far more impact stress than shorter, thinner, runners with a more efficient stride. Add to that the importance of not running every day to tive the body time to heal and you end up with wide range of issues.
Marissa Mayer’s year-long shopping spree at Yahoo
I was having this issue earlier this year after about ten years of not enough exercise (with some years excepted). A couple of years ago, a routine physical showed a small blip on my EKG, "nothing to worry about, but here, go see this cardiologist". A (very stressful) stress test and a holter monitor test later, the doc didn't seem to think my EKG issue (a right bundle branch block) was much to worry about, but "you really need to get your fast heartrate down, if it's not a medical issue then you need serious psychological help", so thanks doc! It's known as "white coat syndrome", medical settings scare the crap out of me.

Anyway, for the next couple of years I found exercise in some ways to be stress-relieving as it always did, but the shadow of "what if your heart is bad" was really messing it up. I developed palpitations which persisted for about a year, scaring the crap out of me regularly.

The two things that have at least for now ameliorated it are: 1. I went on antidepressants (lexapro), this is not the first time I've been on them and despite HNsers who think they're bunk, it's pretty obvious they have a positive effect, and 2. I got a personal trainer at the gym. Both have downsides: one is side effects, the other is PTs are incredibly expensive. But the advantage of the PT is, she pushes me so hard that you get to experience levels of cardio workout that are way beyond what I normally would do on my own. So between just experiencing ridiculous, prolonged cardio workouts as well as the heart strengthening effect they have, my resting heartrate is down to 60 at night and I don't generally have palpitations. I wouldn't say the problem is solved, but working out very intensely with someone there who will most likely call 911 if you keel over has been helpful.
To take a concrete example of encryption using a key derived from a passphrase: SSH keys. OpenSSH uses MD5 as a key derivation function, so if someone steals a passphrased SSH key file you'd better hope that the passphrase is very strong.
> The Incas never invented the wheel...

In fact, the Incans did know about wheels, it's just that wheels are considerably less useful when you don't have any large pack animals to pull things. It's an accident of geography, and the article would be better off without the vaguely racist opening about how the "primitive" Incans were able to do amazing things with fibres even though they never "figured out" this other stuff.

Should the that fact that he made two simple spelling errors[1] "beaurocracy" and "undemines" leave us to wonder about the veracity of his statements? Everyone makes mistakes. Before he received the second letter did he think NSA was infallible?

I find it hard to pick what to answer from such a long message but suffice it to say, any engineers interesting in working with packetzoom would never be confined to a small room and asked to write code on the board. And despite that, for coding roles, we'd find out one way or another whether you can code, and at what level (not all coding roles are created equal either).
There are always armchair prosecutors ready to bring out the electric chair for jaywalking. They are the same ones saying we always need to be tougher on crime even though we lock more people up than any other country. They are completely out of touch with reality.
What often distinguishes the crackpot from the visionary is whether they are eventually vindicated. The latter usually begins their career being perceived as the former.

> start by learning some Internet basics. HTML5 and CSS3

Isn't this a bright future? People all around saving the world by typing HTML tags and CSS rules.
Let me clarify something: HTML is a DOM serialization. It's editing by hands is as stupid as typing UTF-8 byte by byte.

Our tools are weak. Consuming and publishing are disconnected. To publish information one has to convert it and push on server. Now it's copy, not original document. Modern web tries to solve this problem by making web the only place. Sure it requires resources and for sure it's centralized.

I'd like to have all hypertext goodness on local computer. Make interconnected notes, publish them by clicking button and don't worry about synchronization or file name. Interconnect with web, know that every page I'm interested in is cached locally, edit these pages in place.

It would be nice to use 320MHz 16MB RAM wireless router as always present server.

> You have no idea how to type HTML anymore
Can you write HTML WYSIWYG editor?
Can you write tooling to query interconnected data?

Maybe at least some users would not need to store data outside
Nobody is running VoLTE, and there are no VoLTE handsets in the wild, and if they were running VoLTE, there is no way that SIP traffic could harm it any more than any other kind of traffic. Nor is SIP used solely for voice calls.

C'mon, a "suicide pact?" That's way over the top. So to speak.
You do know that it is a FOI request i.e. freely accessible by the public ?

And of course the NSA should have craploads of information. It's their job.
I would wish her a swift expulsion from office for gross incompetence, except that this type of brainless bureaucrat really does represent the people who elect them.

We live in a post-literate, lawsuit driven society where such officials are simply following the path of least resistance.

I hope the parents have some really good lawyers. This thing may have to go up the chain to their Senator and perhaps a federal court of appeals, before this kid is exonerated.

As for that woman who turned him in to the police and effectively ruined his life, I'd say she deserves a nice, fat civil suit.

It really depends on what you're trying to do.

Amongst other things, since you can't ever know the Javascript runtime in the browser hasn't been tampered with, and that the functions you're calling from even correct crypto code haven't been overridden, the system will never actually be safe to trust.
