Some modern airliners have computer-based checklists that will verify that all checklist steps were completed correctly for you. They also have alarms that will go off if the aircraft configuration is egregiously wrong on takeoff (eg, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOqMttyD_Zc). With older or smaller jets, however, some of these safety features might be missing or less sophisticated, so it's more on the pilots to correctly execute the checklist.

I could not actually extract a single argument for why it would be OK to dislike hipsters. This is poor written even for the standards of people trying to rationalize irrational emotions. The best I can find is "hipsters cannot talk about important issues, and prevent societal progress", which I somehow have a difficult time seeing any reason to believe, but I guess it is a reason.

Its just social signaling. Like much social signaling, it works better if it upsets preexisting social norms. Its really not that complicated.

Just curious, how would airgapping be practical if you need Internet connectivity for your "real work"?

For example, let's say you run a quant trading firm and the algorithms you're concerned about being stolen need connectivity to download live trading info, and then after processing that info they need to communicate buy/sell orders to the outside world.

Are there any methods that could be used that would prevent all communication with a secure system (with an airgap level of certainty) besides the strictly defined data you need to do your "real work"?
Last year I visited Germany for the first time and was astounded at how good their English was, despite it being so far from French/Spanish/Italian (which I'm a little familiar with)...everywhere I went, people were happy to speak to me in English, almost in a slightly condescending way, like "poor American, let me speak your language for you" (and the condescension is well-deserved, IMO).

But wow, the German executives at hand must think Americans are really anti-multi-lingualism if "WRITE IT IN GERMAN" is one of their protocols for obfuscating their fraud.
No problem. Sorry if my other comment wasn't informative.
So your point here is "don't bother"?

Whilst you make some valid assertions, I disagree with the conclusion.

It's trivially easy to use a live CD/DVD based VM containing Tor which has no ability to run vulnerable content (java, javascript, flash etc) nor any ability to break out of its proxy (iptables user match, authorise the anonymous user to only communicate with privoxy, privoxy with tor, tor with valid tor end points and drop all other traffic).

That leaves only the malicious end point you mention - it seems that your assumption is the only valid use of Tor is to access the regular internet. Setting that aside, the browser need only be configured to use SSL everywhere - that can even be done at a proxy level rewriting all pages to force SSL before delivery to the browser.

Coming back to the malicious endpoint, who cares? The only circumstances in which you do are those in which you've leaked identifying information in cleartext in which case why use Tor in the first place? In all other circumstances ...

Naw, OP doesn't 'get it'!

First, let's get a leading example of
"sad" music, the music for the
death of Siegfried from Wagner's
opera 'Götterdämmerung',
damnation of the gods, the fourth
and final opera in Wagner's
Ring of the Nibelung:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8wHteSOwW4

Yup, that sounds sad alright! Sounds like
how one feels just hit with the worst
loss in life.

So, why does it make people feel better?

Well, to lead up to the answer, that music
is art as in the common definition
the communication, interpretation of
human experience, emotion. So, that
music communicates the emotion of a big
loss.

Now why would one want to hear that?
Because the music clearly says that
many other people both understand
that emotion and have experienced it;
so, a listener with such a loss and emotion is not alone;
their loss is not nearly the first
such; many others have been there
before; the listener's loss is not unique
and, thus, comparatively not
as bad as they might have feared;
so that's good news for the listener,
and they feel better. That's why!
No, it did not. Myspace existed before the concept of social networking really solidifed. Not to mention that Myspace was much more niche in that its main userbase was the young and somewhat technically savvy. Myspace was more of a homepage-builder than it was a social network the way we think of it today.

The concept of social networking solidified with Facebook, and they were in the perfect position to capitalize on the masses moving to the internet for a large chunk of their pass-time. Network effects just didn't exist for Myspace, as seen by the handful of social networks that existed simultaneously with it. Facebook changed the game, and they will dominate until something else similarly changes the game. Whatever it will be, it will look nothing like Facebook.

Nice clear thinking from Buffet. The ideas are very old, only the implementation is new.

First, the Fed's actions are a mix of fiscal and monetary stimulus. They are not different to Keynes' idea of fiscal stimulus, since they inject money into the economy in cases where even zero interest rates couldn't.

Second, in order for stimulus to work, it must convince people to make long term decisions (such as building physical factories, starting companies, buying durable goods, etc.) and therefore the Fed must commit to a long term stimulus plan. Buffet clearly outlines the Fed's approach to making this commitment.

I know a lot of people on HN are deeply suspicious of mainstream macroeconomics, and that is understandable since even with my training I can't really verify that people in the field are doing things right. However, I will say that there are a large number of countries in the world that are big enough to have their independent macroeconomic policy. So far, no country I'm aware of has chosen not to use the above two principles, which together can be taken as a summary of neo-Keynsian economics. If there really some better way out there I think that some country would have tried it.
Ah yes. There are still some little shreds of privacy left somewhere in the world, so why not help Facebook with that? It's an engineering challenge, Yay!

Also, Wall Street is not yet completely done destroying the US economy (and others with it), and I bet they could use your help too. You could do your part in providing liquidity to the markets. Everyone loves liquidity! Besides, it's challenging, mathy work! Yay.

The main difference I see is that CrossFit is presented as a sport in and of itself, rather than a way to train for other sports.

Your second point is not true if you follow the most basic guidelines for making sure you have good form and don't overtrain. It's the culture of competing against others to finish a set workout quickly that distinguishes crossfit, that both motivates people to train harder, makes people who like competition enjoy tough and normally dull workouts and also leads to bad form and overtraining.

So, you're saying people all over the world aren't bound to a single programming but individual coaches and athletes are actually allowed to exercise judgement - and this is a BAD thing? I see.

>>> There is also a culture that promotes things like rips

I've been doing CF for 2 years and reading forums, etc. and I have never encountered an example of this. Sure, if someone rips a hand there might be some amount of bravado, esp. from the males, in the vein of "oh, it's nothing, just a flesh wound" (insert Monty Python clip here) - but nobody ever that I met in his sane mind would actually strive for that.

>>> /r/crossfit

I'd say /r/almost anything is probably not the best example of maturity, but one over-macho in a several day is not that big a deal, from what I know about Reddit. Unless specifically /r/crossfit is an island of maturity in /r/* world, it's only to be expected.

>>> and general bad form is ok in the name of better times.

Which is exactly the opposite of what I see in real CF. Up to the point that the coach would stop me mid-timed workout and correct my form and insist I do it right. Sometimes I hate it in the heat of the moment, but once I've cooled off I am grateful because it's exactly what they are supposed to do. Where I do CF, a lot of time is spent on practicing form, and I've been told numerous times something like "tame our ego, don't go for higher weights until you get the form right". Form importance and doing exercises safely and properly is constantly emphasized.

Of course, I am not in competitive CF (and probably won't ever be) and when it gets to big sports things might be different, as they always are, but I am telling what I am seeing in day-to-day life in my CF box, and it's nothing like you're describing.
> That's easy to do if you're not poor. It's a problem you've never encountered, so don't pretend your virtue protects you.

I didn't always have money. My father is a carpenter, and I definitely took the time to write down every expense back when there was serious risk I might overdraft.

However, I must apologize for phrasing my original comment too harshly. People don't deserve poverty, but what I meant was that they're at least partially responsible for their situation.

As you rightfully point out, punishment certainly isn't the answer. (I certainly don't see overdraft fees as a sane punishment.)

But payday lenders and the like aren't the solution either. The solution is helping everyone to get the necessary planning skills for the modern world through education. It'd be great and truly refreshing to see a bank which tried to do that (obviously they'd have to find a different business model than the usual).

So, help people to learn to plan. Don't excuse not planning and the institutions (check-cashers, etc.) which enable it.

It's only a problem if you need very low latency. This system doesn't, so you can just set a massive interface buffer size. Scheduling is a complete non-issue if you have several seconds worth of output buffer.

When professional audio people talk about the difficulties of glitch-free playback, they're talking about running their CPU at near 100% utilisation with 64 or 128 samples of buffer. Playing back a clean and glitch-free audio stream is trivial and has been for years.
Just saying that the programming is bad doesn't make it so. You probably just don't have the same goals that crossfit.com is designing its workouts for.

Also, the fact that elite CrossFit athletes don't do exclusively crossfit.com workouts doesn't support your point either. Those guys are genetic freaks. The crossfit.com workouts are designed for broad applicability, and that will never work as well at the margins.

CrossFit has actually stated a very precise definition for what they are trying to optimize. And the mainsite workouts are actually quite good at doing that.
Android and iOS make no use of swap, they certainly will page things out that can be ejected (so not process heap, but mapped disk pages, including executable data segments, etc...). There is a little more involved with Android, and no doubt a lot of hackery under the hood in iOS, but both these OSes are running kernels with traditional VM systems and they work.
> I'm not sure why officers were armed.

My assumption is that any officer who is armed at the moment is always armed, and any officer who is always armed will be armed when he visits you. In other words, being armed in this instance may not be particularly interesting. Now, if they had their arms drawn at the ready, that might be more than interesting.
Sure, you would just use Radianz, and that is in fact what everyone does. This is a very solved problem! Bloomberg also operates a private network, and there are others too. These systems can operate perfectly well without access to the public Internet.

A couple of jobs ago I worked at a financial services firm with 2 networks and 2 PCs on everyone's desk. Rednet for outside connectivity, and an internal network for real work, and never the twain shall meet.

NO-ONE needs the Internet for real work, let's be honest, just for goofing off. Time we all started to prioritize security over mere convenience.

But while they can edit the URL, most people don't. For that reason, prosecutors insists that it's illegal. On page 32, they describe a hypothetical "judicial law clerk" who is a "reasonably sophisticated computer user". They point out that this clerk would search in vain for hyperlinks, and thus, not be able to access the information since such hyperlinks don't exist.

This is a clever trick of the prosecutors. It exploits the fact that the way the judge is going to handle this case is to give the brief to the young clerk who spends a lot of time on Facebook, where "heavy Facebook use" is the proxy for "reasonably sophisticated computer user".

HN user Rayiner is a law clerk in a US appeals court, and he's pretty handy with assembler from wha tI recall. This is a ridiculous straw man argument what badly misrepresents the claims in the brief.

Overall, I think this article is terribly poorly written. An inability to handle basic grammar is not a good foundation for parsing legal arguments, and much of the author's argument is predicated on the assumption that lawyers and judges do not understand computers.

"What's likely" is, sadly, optimistic. I see that LISA's isn't likely to be built by the 2020s.

Reviewing the list of other space telescopes, WFIRST is now WFIRST-AFTA, with a change to use a second-hand NAO telescope.

NuSTAR and IRIS are two launched Small Explorer missions since 2010. (Oddly, they used an artist's concept of WISE to highlight the concept. Odd, because WISE was launched in 2009, so a 2010 publication should not have needed a concept image.) I haven't figured out what the new missions are/might be, but I didn't look too hard.

A rather unfortunate title for an amazing book. You might think most of what it says is common sense, but in reality, ever since I read it, I've been far more cognizant of relationships with people & despite being a talkative extrovert, I have tried my best to shut the hell up and listen :)
My crossfit experiences mix the challenges of lifting with the constant encouragement of peers, or perhaps a dojo? I find that having a guided workout and others doing the same thing with me helps me to actually __do__ it. On my own, I have never been able to work out with the focus OR intensity needed to do it properly.

My coaches are always careful to talk about how safety is important, and help weaker people modify in ways that are safe but still excercise similar muscle groups. They've told me to stop a workout when they felt I was pushing too hard. They (and the other athletes at my box) have been extremely supportive of my personal focus on doing the form correctly, even if that means I am slow, or rest between reps.

Sure, our box has athletes who can whip out dozens of pullups in a row. (I'll be thrilled when I can do one.) But we also have people who have sat there after their workout is done and helped me count my last reps, or even actually done burpees with me.

The encouragement is a huge high. It's what hooked me. I can very much understand how, if one is not careful, one might push oneself Too Far. I don't think I am physically capable of doing that yet, so I'm grateful for reading this reminder to be careful.

Also, box jumps. Screw those things, and I'm glad that stepping down from them rather than jumping is the way to go. ;)
After you went out of your way to thank someone for an anecdote that confirmed your bias, you'll have to forgive me for believing that you're reacting to my point of view, not the nature of my evidence. All I said is that you should see for yourself and trust your own judgment. To quote myself, "they don't do much to actively ensure the quality of local affiliates.... I wouldn't encourage anyone to blindly trust whatever local Crossfit affiliate happens to pop up down the block."
Thanks, Chetane. Is there any kind of tool you find yourself wanting? Or a similar one to replace one that isn't quite up-to-snuff?

It is. Bumping at the end is predictable. But it appears even at the times when I just attempt to scroll the middle of the page that I view at the moment. Sometimes when I want it to appear, it doesn't. But more often it appears "just because."
I don't think there's much evidence to demonstrate that high-rep olympic lifts done by a trained person are any more dangerous then low-rep lifts at high weight. Yes, if you don't have good technique you're asking for trouble, but that's not what we're talking about here.

I don't think form breaks down after a few reps nearly as much as you say. There's probably a point at which it will, but there's a lot of room for breakdown that doesn't meaningfully increase your risk of injury.

> but the competitive culture pressures you into continuing

Hogwash. Each person is responsible for their own actions. Yes, competition might help people push themselves, but that shouldn't turn you into a mindless machine that will self destruct just to get the win. If it does, then you have no one to blame but yourself.
>So, you're saying people all over the world aren't bound to a single programming but individual coaches and athletes are actually allowed to exercise judgement - and this is a BAD thing? I see.

No, I'm saying that crossfit the program is bullshit. Crossfit started out as a workout, everyday, on crossfit.com. It's no secret that crossfit.com WODs are atrocious and most serious people give them little to now thought. Now, if you aren't doing crossfit.com workouts, are you doing crossfit? What is crossfit?

If you are "doing crossfit" that your coach, or you, or someone else programmed, are you doing crossfit?

I do my own programming. I'm a competitive athlete. I do olympic lifts, have a base strength program, combine cardio, HIIT and bodyweight exercises. Am I crossfitting?

Crossfit can't lay claim to cross training. The concept has existed for literally ever.

All that being said, you'll never find me fucking kipping my pullups. I like my shoulders way to much for that.

> Which is exactly the opposite of what I see in real CF
