The ICA link is about using one's ICA customer card for bank withdrawal while paying the cashier. Those ATMs I was referring to are separate machines in or outside the building.

When someone wants to withdraw more than the maximum per week, my guess is that the bank feels they need to ask questions to fulfill the requirements of the law from 2009 (http://www.penningtvatt.se/) that requires that bank to inquire the nature of the withdrawal. SVT had a story when the law was introduced, and their conclusion can be read in the Q/A at (http://www.svt.se/ug/chatt-om-penningtvatten).

I don't know what happens if you close your account, but my guess is that the law would still hold the cash in place.

Which is why Tor Browser Bundle - the recommended way of using Tor, doesn't include Flash or Java, and is configured to route even FTP over Tor, when browsed with the built-in TBB. It also shoves up a dialog when you download something to Disk, about the dangers of opening it from outside the Browser.

Which is why Tor Browser Bundle also uses HTTPS Everywhere. They also don't hide the fact that exit-server communication is unencrypted (unless HTTPS is used), and so sniffable. In fact, the Tor Project as a whole is very open about the threats that can break Anonymity - it's in the projects best interests to be after all.

EDIT: Clarified on exit-server communication, as language was imprecise.

I wonder how well something like that would work. Lyft is pretty popular in big cities but unheard of where I am. Reaching volunteer drivers sounds like a good idea, I guess we can experiment and see how much it costs to sign up a volunteer thru marketing the cause. Thanks for the info, I'll see if I can reach out to someone who is part of that program and see if I can get some pointers.

Actually, I think the point is not to suggest that Tor provides strong anonymity. It's better for everyone to accept and behave as if there is no anonymity rather than be lulled into a false sense of anonymity.
We have very high standards and would immediately abandon CapitalOne in droves if they fucked with us.

For years whenever people complained about banks I always said "ING Direct isn't like that". So far CapitalOne hasn't wronged us yet. I suspect it's because they just bought out the business and the same ING Direct people are still running it, and the CapitalOne people know to leave well enough alone.

I've seen sound cards with all kind of glitches such as outputting one of the channels with an inverted phase. I'd be also concerned with whatever audio filters the card may have. Sound cards are just not meant to control precision equipment like that.

Including a low cost USB adapter (even an audio one) that is tested and calibrated to work with the printer could prevent a lot of headaches in setting this up.

3:12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel,
out of every tribe a man.

3:13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of
the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the LORD of all the earth,
shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be
cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall
stand upon an heap.

3:14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to
pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant
before the people; 3:15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto
Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in
the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the
time of harvest,) 3:16 That the waters which came down from above
stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is
beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain,
even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed
over right against Jericho.

I had rhabdomyolysis in high school after an intense afternoon of running around in the cold. Let me describe the pain:

* everytime I breathe in or down I felt like screaming

* moving almost any part of my body even an inch made me scream

* my urine was dark red

All my life I've had above normal pain tolerance from another chronic illness but it took rhabdomyolysis to really break me--quite literally. Ultimately it resulted in being put in a stretcher as I screamed my ass off.

It took a lot of morphine to find any relief and dialysis to fully recover.
Where I work (large university) the instructors and professors teaching engineering labs build pretty much all the setups for the experiments using 3D printers and off the shelf components. It allows them to iterate very fast on designs and can also change the experiments year after years, since they are not stuck with some expensive machine or piece of equipment. It really is an amazing technology.

I used one for a personal project I'm working on. I'm building a robot and had trouble finding wheels for it that fit my design, so I just made my own!! Got some silicon rubber strips from McMaster-Carr and now I have very fancy and functional wheels! Of course I am very fortunate to have access to a very good 3D printer, which is a few years out for most people.
I think appealing to the folks with the corporate credit card is best. They can make faster purchasing decisions (often related to the amount of pain they're feeling)
Wait, they're not a franchise model? What is required for someone to open up a gym using the Crossfit name?
The Importance of Whimsy in Learning to Program
Not only do we pay American farmers to not grow anything, we also pay Brazilian farmers to not grow anything for our right to do so at home. (The WTO fined the US for cotton subsidies. Congress decided to just pay the fines to foreign farmers, rather than touch US farm subsidies.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil%E2%80%93United_States_co...

Other fun facts include:

1) The US price fixes raisins, to support farmers at the cost of consumers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Raisin_Reserve

2) The US code has a minimum price for sugar. Yes, you can break the law just by selling sugar for less than an amount determined by congress. (Well, nobody in congress reads the thing, so it's probably coming straight from lobbyists.)

This is the main reason that everything we buy has corn syrup in it, and not sugar. (Sugar price fixing combined with corn subsidies.)

http://sugarreform.org/why-reform/what-the-experts-are-sayin...

Many candy factories that used to be in the US have moved to Mexico, because Mexico doesn't price fix sugar.

Experts will dispute this, but I swear Coke (the drink!) and chocolate tastes better everywhere else in the world. In part because they use real sugar and not corn syrup.

At a wet-bulb temperature of 95F (35C), thermal stress is lethal to humans in a few hours in most cases.

While air temperatures routinely exceed 95F (which is already hot), that's generally at much lower humidities. A wet-bulb 95F means that relative humdity is 100%, and the body effectively cannot cool itself.

You're also going to have trouble cooling yourself from your surroundings, as everything will be that warm -- water, ground, etc.
http://www.tgdaily.com/sustainability-features/49635-future-...

Even swimmers have been known (or suspected) to succumb to thermal stress when swimming through warm waters. The international body governing open-water competitions has set an upper bound for competitions of 31C (87.8F):
http://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/lane9/news/Commentary/3...

Most swimming pools are heated to between 78 and 82F. The difference between the lower and upper ends of that range are pronounced: slightly cool to slightly warm if you're not very active. Many swimmers will find anything over 80F unpleasantly warm, and may prefer cooler temperatures, though lower than about 72F generally feels chilly regardless.
Oh, yeah. I was thinking "notifications" as just an arbitrary message passing mechanism, not as actual OS notifications. beacons probably don't make sense.

I've been CrossFitting for over 6 years, owned an affiliate for 4 years, and founded the largest independent CrossFit-style competition series in the country (as far as I know).

This author hasn't been to a well-managed gym or worked with more experienced coaches. The same is likely true of those who get rhabdo. They have exposed themselves to more than their body can handle physically, as a result of poor coaching, and/or poor decision making.

I've seen high rep pullups and high rep weighted squats cause Rhabdo in people (not at my gym). I've also seen thousands of people do those same movements (in a safe way) and not get injured. Any good coach shouldn't be exposing clients to those things that expose clients to injury or death.

A responsibility of any gym owner/trainer is to protect clients from injury. If you go to a gym (CrossFit or not) that programs things that expose you to to any kind of injury, then you should absolutely leave. Coaches should be aware of the risks.

If you attempt to lift too much weight, do too many reps, do things with bad form, of course you exposure yourself to injury. I hope rational people would consider that CrossFit is a very effective fitness program, and, despite its criticism, is something that produces amazing results in people if done properly.

Interestingly, my biggest injury was from a heavy single clean and jerk. I've never had Rhabdo and done tons of high rep stuff, but stay away from high rep box jumps, deads, pullups and other silly things. I do enjoy high rep oly lifting in CrossFit and I total 180kg as a 69kg oly lifter. They are completely different movements; to think otherwise is just dumb.

TL;DR - people who are irrational are dumb.
Don't be so ashamed - it's a good book but even Sussman and Abelson teach their courses out of other books now.
Advertising in two similar, but not exactly the same markets at once?

Although, I feel like the indiegogo should have some sort of outreach to it as well. Like, "$25 gets you resin or a t-shirt and you (along with 5 other people) will sponsor a printer for a school" or something like that. Or perhaps focus on how the money from indiegogo will be used to make the software more accessible and easy to use for all people, not just those skilled in CAD.

EDIT: The indiegogo uses a fixed-funding model like kickstarter. I wasn't aware that projects could do that there.
The fact that it requires DRM is clearly a nefarious plan to break third party usage in general, surely.
>>> No, I'm saying that crossfit the program is bullshit.

You just said there's no "crossfit the program" - crossfit.com publishes stuff, but no one has obligation to follow it. So what exactly you're calling bullshit?

>>> What is crossfit?

This is a semantic discussion which for me comes dangerously close to trolling. If you're saying crossfit is bullshit, shouldn't you be the one who defines it? I know what CF is for me - it's what I am doing when I come to my CF box. If that doesn't fit your definition - I don't see why I should care.

>>> Am I crossfitting?

Why are you asking me? I have no idea. You can call it whatever you like.

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

OK. So what? Running existed since forever too, so now I can't be a member of running club because of that and running is bullshit? I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here - is CF nothing new, or is CF new and dangerous, or CF doesn't exist, or CF is a dangerous brainwashing cult? Which one is it?

>>> No true scotsman

I'm sorry, I am telling you whatever I see and experience. I call it CF, everybody doing it with me calls it CF, it looks like CF. I don't make any general claims about whole world and whole CF, I just give you evidence that is in direct contradiction of your generalizing claims. If you say it's not real CF for you, and you have some other one and it's bad - well, I'm sorry yours was bad. Mine is fine though, so I want people reading this know that that's what my experience is :)
This.

Mark Rippetoe (he's a popular personality in the powerlifting world) was affiliated with Crossfit in the beginning, mainly doing workshops on demonstrating basic barbell lifts. He liked how Crossfit was, at the time, a welcome antidote to the "Globo-Gym" death grip on fitness.

But he has distanced himself from Cross-fit for years now, and has a huge amount of criticism due to the emphasis on high-rep Olympic lifts. The high reps result in poor execution and injury at worst, and in uselessly light loads at best.

The first time I ever saw rhabdo was when I was sent to Outward Bound for a month as a teenager. A guy in my group wasn't very fit, and he got it from several days in a row of intense distance while backpacking. We were told how insanely rare it was when he got back, and the doctor at the time told him it was only seen in guys in boot camp.

Suddenly, a few years back, my rock climbing gym had a crossfit area. Then I start hearing about rhabdo all the time. I noticed that extremely fit rock climbers would do some of the team workouts, and then refuse to go back for the rest of the class they paid for. Their conclusion was the same as mine: any fitness regimen that makes it difficult to function in your day to day activities for days on end due to extreme soreness is not something that should ever be viewed as fitness. Fitness is something that can be integrated into a normal life.

I think CrossFit fell victim to its monetizations scheme. The original folks made their money by awarding certifications to trainers, who would then go start their own classes/gyms.

Like everything else: it started as a movement, turned into a business, and then devolved into a racket.
> 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.

Their stated goal is mostly around general fitness (GPP), in broad strokes. The issue most, including myself, take with this is they promote workouts that, yes, if a person is untrained, will get them fitter, but they do it in a suboptimal manner, and what's worse, a manner that is far more dangerous than other approaches.

For instance, most general crossfitters would be much better served with a simple barbell strength program, simple bodyweight movements (pullups as an example), combined with some steady state cardio and some HIT sessions (that don't involve complex technical lifts). This approach is far safer and would get a person a broader general fitness level than mainsite WODs. There is no thought to mainsite WODs, no progression and no built in injury prevention.

Crossfit.com is, at best, bad programming and at worst, a recipe for some major injury.
> I would bet against it being a NIST standard

Are you actually "betting against" Dual_EC_DRBG being backdoored by the NSA? The leaked documents specifically say the NSA weakened/backdoored a NIST standard in 2006[1]. Schneier himself, in the essay you quoted, repeatedly calls Dual_EC_DRBG backdoored[2], and has more recently suggested Dual_EC_DRBG could be the standard referred to by the leaked documents[3].

Also, it's not even close to a "reasonable first approximation" to say "nobody" uses Dual_EC_DRBG. BSAFE is in over one billion applications/devices[4]; how many of those do you really think aren't using BSAFE's default RNG?

It's true this isn't at all a subtle backdoor (it took only a year for Shumow and Ferguson to discover it), nor does it appear to be very widely used, but too much of what you're saying about Dual_EC_DRBG just isn't supported by fact.

> pretty brittle at least on the Form1

This is true (at least on the SLA printer I've used). The problem is that the resin never stops UV curing, so it just gets more and more brittle over time. Small parts get really fragile (Maybe you can paint/cover them to avoid this - I'm not sure). FDM or SLS printers are generally better with functional parts, while SLA is better for prototypes that don't need to last.

My experience with rhabdo involved no pain (outside of really sore muscles).

I am not a doctor, but I think what you experienced was what rhabdo leads to if untreated: myoglobinuria (kidneys poisoned due to excess myoglobin) which then leads to acute renal failure (kidneys fail).

The normal treatment for rhabdo is intravenous saline (I had 5 days of saline), whereas myoglobinuria or acute renal failure require dialysis, since your kidneys have shut down.

In any case, that sounds absolutely frightening in the worst way imaginable. Any long-lasting side effects?
Answers:

(1) Doesn't the spray get droplets of feces-water mix everywhere? (Supposedly ideal bathroom hygiene is to close the toilet lid before flushing, to avoid sending a mist of toilet water into the air. Any forced-water rinsing seems to guarantee a mixed-mist reaches everywhere, including parts of the buttocks and legs far from the rectum that are never contaminated by paper-wiping.)

Not really, it depends upon the spray. Most sprays are gentle, not the high-pressure hosepipe you seem to be imagining.

(2) Short of absolutely drenching yourself with multiple power rinses, how do you know you're "done" - that none of the remaining dampness is still fecal-contaminated water?
(White paper provides a visual completion indicator.)

You can always check with paper. Other than that, you check with your hand. Still much cleaner than leaving dried fecal matter in your rectum.

(3) My very rough impression is that fecally-transmitted diseases (typhoid, hepatitis, cholera, anything diarrhea-causing, etc.) are more prevalent in rinse-cultures. Are you sure that "a lot of South Asian countries" should be the "ideal way to wash" model, as opposed to the other way around? (North American practice would change very fast if there were evidence paper-wiping was insufficient to protect health.)

That has more to do with the water supply being contaminated with fecal matter, and not enough fresh sources of uncontaminated water being available for drinking in those countries.
I agree. I think the case against Aurenheimer is ridiculous and the sentence a travesty. But I don't think it's reasonable to take that conclusion and work it back to "anything you can do with a URL that doesn't say user/password is fair game".
Besides, does anyone think Apple can resurrect the watch industry?

No but I do think they can make a huge splash in wearable computers. The type you happen to strap on your wrist. I don't think they'll market it as a watch. They'll probably market it as a wearable iPod that gains a ton of extra functionality when paired with an iPhone. It definitely won't be as big as the iPhone/iPad and will probably be somewhat of a hobby project for the first 2-3 generations. From there I could see it being a very profitable product for Apple.

I think after a while all technology tends to get passé to people. I think that's starting to happen with SmartPhones. People who are glued to their phones are starting to look lame, rude, detached. I bet in 2-3 years people will look at a wearable wrist computer as a far more elegant way to interact with their SmartPhone for most tasks. Less intrusive, more practical than taking your phone in/out of your pocket 50 times a day, less likely to hit the pavement and crack, easier to sneak a peak at in social situations, etc.
Wow, nice catch
I was injured on my first workout (after I finished the indoctrination phase). I recovered then injured myself again shortly thereafter. I'm ex-US Army Airborne Infantry, meaning I didn't get up off the sofa after a lifetime of little activity and start "ripping". I'm no stranger to physical activities that can seriously hurt you.

I eventually found a strength training program and learned just how poor my form was for many exercises. Thankfully I'm doing great now and growing stronger.

Automation sounds great, but it must be followed-up as to how it's used or abused in the real world in order to maintain air safety.

A primary concern of automating error detection is that it leads to laziness by cognition of least resistance. In the real world, pilots will simply rely on the machine to give them feedback rather than knowing what's fundamentally wrong themselves. This is dangerous because mastery goes away and you end up with experienced, routine button-pushers that slap a 777 into a seawall or trim some trees.

The other concern is zero incident complacency. If there were a "chaos monkey"-like system that could continuously introduce fire drill challenges, while being able to reveal themselves as authentic or not, would keep pilots alert and grade reactions before something larger happens. This is an instance where automation by purposeful fault injection might be able to maintain reaction fitness more consistently over time.
Hmmm. I wonder if maritime drone fleets are going to make carrier task forces obsolete, the same way carriers had been rendering battleships obsolete.
