If you exclude deadlifts it's now harder to exercise important muscles necessary for bench and overhead press. These would be your back muscles and lats. You can do rows, but they require many of the same lower back muscles as deadlifts, which you didn't train properly by avoiding deadlifts.

So if your bench goes into 250lb+ range but your deadlift is barely 315lb, and your row is 150 lbs, you are exposing your shoulders to injury by having a strength imbalance between chest and back muscles.

I stopped deadlifting, but continued weighted pullups and rows but still experienced shoulder problems from bench. They subsided when I added deadlifts back. Of course you can also stop benching to get weaker there and preserve the muscle balance. But if you don't, then you have to take calculated risks.

By avoiding deadlifts while continuing to bench you're trading off the risk of a potential injury in one place for a guaranteed injury in another. That's why classic lifting programs include exercises for the whole body, not just ones you like.

The professionals that exclude them must also balance your chest/shoulder strength. Or must demand you spend more time in the gym doing back volume. Or insist on more humble fitness goals. Or focus on machines, which increases your risk of injury whenever you do physical activity in the real world. Or succeed with enough clients that they can fail with the rest.

There is no free lunch. As with "professionals" in any industry the only common incentive among them is to get your money.
OpenWorm Kickstarter is 70% funded with 19h left to go 
A previous post [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7613732] pointing to our Kickstarter campaign was well received on HN, so this should hopefully be of interest.

Time is running out but we are close to our goal and a few hundreds backers (250-350 depending on pledge amounts) could still make the WormSim a reality.

Getting this funded would greatly accelerate our effort to plug a brain into the model of the worm we are building and let you play with it online.

If you want to see this happen consider supporting us now by pledging here: http://bit.ly/KickstartWorm
They're almost certainly using barometer data from Android devices to help know elevations and differences between roads. The barometers can measure altitude differences as small as ~0.5m - it's pretty amazing.
Florida isn't an abstract place, it's located in the southern United States. Contrast it with other states that enforce OxyContin better.

I believe you are confused about enforcement of sale vs use, and the specifics of any policy beyond the buzzword "drug war", which is typical of this debate.
Isn't this called 'tax'?
And China's GNI per capita (PPP) in 2013 was still just about 20% that of the US: $10,900 in current intl dollars [1]; and India's is half of that, at $5,080 [op cit].

Notwithstanding all that moral panic about China and India, it's hard to fathom how desperately poor these countries were throughout the twentieth century in the first place --and how in many ways they still are.

This has been my technique for a long time. I usually add -N, since there's usually no need to do anything on that host.
I don't think open air seats are good when you've got a low atmospheric pressure, either. It looks like the prototype is a mock-down at a lower scale. The principal advantage of hyperloop is that it takes the atmosphere (which is a liability for maglevs) and turns it into an asset,- by collecting it at the front and redirecting it below as a mode of levitation. This means the tracks can be unpowered. I'm not sure if the tracks are powered in the chinese maglev, but the article said "superconducting" so that's energetically costly either on the pod or on the tracks.

An interesting maglev alternative to superconduction is inductrack, which, however, cannot be combined with magnetic propulsion - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductrack
You're right, and I don't mean isolation stuff is worthless. I just think all but the most experienced lifters would get more bang for their buck (or time) by focusing on barbell stuff.
If 'like' is supposed to mean 'worth reading', maybe it should really be labelled 'recommended'?

But also, if there's only one vaguely-negative (or vaguely-positive) button available, it'll be used for all similar feelings when the reader is only lazy enough for a 'tick' rather than a composed-comment. (Even with these problems, though, collecting such 'lazy' easy-single-gesture feedback seems a good thing, for many kinds of sites: driving engagement and community self-governance way way up.)

So I don't think you can confine 'wrong' to "factual errors and disagreement". And I still find it odd that you'd want mix to mix 'wrong' with 'disagree'. Saying "you're wrong!" in a conversation is a challenge - it may need to be backed up, or require a defense/fix (or else relative statuses suffer damage). Saying "we disagree" can instead be a friendly, "I hear and understand you, but we neither will nor have to agree today" - and both sides retain their relative status.

People also often choose to compete for the "most agreed" - but if there's no punishment (in de-ranking/fading/loss-of-status/implied-censure) when you lose, those competitions can be a lot more civil and productive: the mobthink/piling-on/"we-must-enforce-and-cast-out" impulses are kept on a shorter leash.

I doubt in most cases that a secondary prompt requiring explanation is a good idea, except if explicitly desired as a way to slow/discourage a certain option (the 'problematic' censure/flag), or as initial 'training wheels' for new users. You'd not want to add it as a complication to the positive-feedback ticks that (if all is going well) you want to multiply to boost mood and engagement.

And yes, the UI and explanation for a two-indepdendent-axis system is a major challenge, even moreso because people are now trained-up on other systems. Some hunches:

• while the axes would be in a virtual compass-rose – up:laudable, down:problematic, left:agree, right:disagree – the actual controls would have some distance from each other, and (if possible) from the leftmost position that Reddit/HN/etc has trained-in

• the agree/disagree (opinion) totals are always shown – not just net but total of each – but as a left-right sparkline-like graph, and with no effect on ranking/fading. This rewards people for those votes: they see the tally change, and thus know that they've been counted.

• the laudable/problematic (moderation) totals are never shown, but are somewhat inferrable by ranking/visibility. As with HN, site moderators might override default positioning to help set norms and cap campaigning that spills into the moderation-axis.

And of course, all of it is very subtle until you try to tick/hover over it – low distraction from flow of text – and much is probably hidden from new users, until they incrementally familiarize with site norms and features.
It seems like it would be odd to not incorporate a "spamminess" measure into the strength of the link, so hopefully you'd be losing very little.
"If the wrong sorts of sites (however defined), sites outside my control, are linking to my site, why am I penalized, and why should the burden be placed on me to go fix it?"

Well, if a website was link spamming then it seems appropriate that the site should attempt to clean up the spam they made before they can rank well in Google again. Otherwise it's not fair to the other websites that have been trying to rank fairly and would like a level playing ground.

In general, if you weren't trying to create spam links, then it's very unlikely that any of this is an issue for you and the burden isn't on you to fix it. I made a video about the "what if the wrong sorts of sites link to my site" question here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWJUU-g5U_I
That's an extremely pessimistic reaction! I think such a device will at least be possible, and that we'll eventually engineer the energy density of it down to be comparably efficient.

And we've got to power the warp field with something, so what are our most energy-dense options?
Frankly a bit worrying that Matt Cutts doesn't seem to get the fairly straightforward point (to the rest of us) being made here. Or he does and the criticism stands. Either way not so great.
I used to sell SaaS software to CF gyms and have been to hundreds of gyms. I've never seen anything like any of these at a CrossFit gym ever.

Do your homework before forming an opinion - don't take 10 edge-case GIFs on the Internet as the primary basis of your opinion. Been CrossFitting since 08, and, like anything, there's both good and bad things about it.

These don't add anything productive to the conversation, and basing your opinion on these is like basing your opinion of a religion -- or followers of that religion -- on the actions of a handful of fanatics.
Go on a bike tour around the world, study theoretical physics, study advanced math, drop from university, study AI, build operating systems, compilers. Generally staying curious, while building fun stuff. Attend LW meet-ups around the world.
I've lately been interested in strongman training for its emphasis on functional strength and limited explosive movement - it's a safer option for someone like me that is both tall and has scolosis making the form needed for powerlifting largely out of reach.

I don't have the equipment or inclination to train like the competitive athletes, but I will regularly go around the gym doing a farmer's walk with kettles or dumbbells now.

"You should never know in advance a link is coming, or where it’s coming from. If you do, that’s the wrong path."

That is an absolutely ridiculous rule of thumb to follow. What exactly is wrong about doing something like:

1) Having a good article on your site about a certain topic
2) Reaching out to other site owners who have similar content and asking them to link to you as an additional resource
3) Getting that link.

Can you honestly, with a straight face, tell me that's BAD!?
It's not too hard to make a meta-manager, is it? Wrap the ten or so people use in a script, have dependencies like

"clib": {
// whatever
},
"gem": {
// whatever
}

So you could do something like install GSL in the C package and then Ruby GSL in your gems. Saves the trouble if installing things to bind to, lets the things manage what they manage best. Install for the meta-manager would install the relevant package managers, then you've got it all.
And there it is again, the point that the author of the article is making . .

"Do these requests indicate a larger issue with my site?"

When the truth of the matter is that it's Google's issue. Why does the burden of the cost have to be on the publisher?

This is the 3rd time someone is pointing this out, and it pretty much showcases "Google"'s attitude on this.

At this point the cost of becoming a good source of information has increased greatly to the point that very few publishers with resources can actively manage all the rules and "guidelines" Google decides to throw at the content creators that provide the content that makes the search engine valuable.

I see this everyday in our business as smaller but richer sources of content just disappear on many topics. Blogs, forums and independent enthusiast content sources.

Google has created a one sided ecosystem. That is consolidating traffic to so called "good" sites.

As a long time publisher for a large media company I think it's time to take the internet back from Google. Who care's what Google thinks and does and start building for a better internet.
false positives happen. let's move on with our lives.

Matt is not reading what the discussion is about at this point.
"I wonder if a link flagged by the disavow tool and confirmed by the user weaken the Google juice of the source site."

We haven't been using disavowed links as a reason not to trust a source site. So it wouldn't weaken the Google juice of the author's/source site if the company that sent the email had just disavowed the link.
Exploring the US Judicial System (d3 viz)
That's simply not true. There is a compilation step in python that is completely distinct from the runtime (i.e. when the bytecode files are compiled). There's nothing special about python that prevents static compile time analysis from happening.
This doesn't help solve the problem itself (and is an annoying extra step), but as a user you can append '-site:annoyingsite.com' to your query to get rid of results from the offender.
I think it depends on what you're interested in. The south bay (Santa Clara, Mountain View, San Jose) has a lot of hardware companies as well as some of the larger software companies (Google, Facebook, Linkedin). Palo Alto has a lot of startups and accelerators (VC) if you're into that sort of thing. San Francisco seems to have the lions share of small startups. You can hang out in numerous coffee shops with a sign stating, "I'll buy you a cup of coffee if you talk to me about the tech scene here".

Another approach would be to reach out to fellow conference attendees familiar with the area and ask them what you should be doing. Presumably, they would share the same interests as yourself. Good luck, and I hope you get much out of your visit.
You could argue that we shouldn't have nullable raw pointers at all and build the Option type into the language, but otherwise I don't think pattern matching on nullable pointers buys you much since you don't need to extract the pointer value for the non-null case and you'd just be using the match expression as a glorified if-else.
Do you have a write-up of your answers lying around somewhere? I'd be interested.. (half a year to go on a Master's)
Are there any documented cases of a black hat attacking a site by linking to it too much? This would seem to be a difficult attack to thwart.
These don't fall under "introductory" in any sense of the word. These are hard graduate level books.
You think that's the only, or even main, reason we explore the universe?

What if we do it because it's in our nature to explore? Just pure curiosity? To increase our understanding of existence and evolve into something more? Also, this concept of it's safer to find aliens before they find us sounds like you're already of the mindset of war and you want a tactical advantage over something that you've never seen or know anything about. I really hope not everyone thinks of exploring the universe as just another military mapping of strategic attack/defense positions. If the human race is still being driven by fear and war when star-trek-style travel becomes possible, then maybe it's better we just die right here rather than export our madness throughout the galaxy.

> Please stop guessing at things

Imo, all is fair if you predeclare ("mere armchair analysis").

> do the hard research

I've spent a colossal amount of time reading P6 and Parrot mailing lists, IRC logs, etc. I'd estimate more than a thousand hours since 2000.

> sixperl call summaries

I've looked for an online transcript or summary of sixperl calls before. I'm failing to find them with search engines now. Would you be willing to share a link or private copy?

> ask the people who were there

I've attempted private exchanges about this stuff with some folk who were there. The general response is a reluctance to talk about it. What little I get beyond that doesn't seem consistent with the picture you paint.

> You're spreading misinformation

If anything I said is wrong, please point out the specific issues. Thanks.
But in this case they didn't spam. The op's site linked naturally to that site, and that site's admin got a message from Google that the op's link is unnatural (when it was natural).

That's what's wrong with this picture. The link was perfectly valid and yet Google recommended that site's admin to disavow the natural link, simply because Google's algorithm isn't good enough to see what's natural and what isn't. So his suggestion is: if it's not good enough, then don't recommend the wrong stuff to people.
Block the days off to focus immersively. Which means the days you are working on a side project, try not to think about your main project unless there is an emergency. More importantly, the days you are working on your bread and butter main project, limit your urge to hack or get distracted by your side projects.

Going on a trip in a new place to really push and finish a project can be fun. Bands do that when they are finishing an albums. They go to a place where they won't be distracted by social pressures.
I would consider quitting the job. I could get 85 productive hours for myself, instead of 45 hours of tiredness I have now. Better today then when retired. Speaking of which my generation will never retire and will always rent.
Japanese startup seeks to commercialize dual-carbon battery technology
Appears to be both. They're drop in replacements. There are plenty of reasons to argue against DJB's other curves (need different code, have some 'insecure' characteristics that other curves have specifically designed out (non-prime order), don't use a 'verifiably random' initialization, require special key selection (high bit must be 1) to be compatible with DJB's software— which precludes some key generation techniques like the homorphic public derivation used by some Bitcoin software, etc.).

These alternatives check all the boxes I'm aware of... and it makes fun of the verifiably random procedure.
Sure you did Matt,
we're also seeing how the only good link as far as Google is concerned is an Adwords one. Can you stop insulting our intelligence, we see how every quarter your Adwords is increasing by double digits as web publishers are going broke.

All Google roads and products lead to ad clicks and Adwords. Enjoy it while it lasts.
I am a consultant, and often have many projects or side projects going at all times, between client work, products I build and sell myself, and writing I do. I basically make private github repositories for myself. From there I make "issues" in github for the work I need to do. I ALWAYS make these tasks small. I have gotten to the point where I know about what I can get done in a half an hour chunk and I write these tasks as "issues" for myself whenever I get an idea. From there I simply "resolve the issue".

As a more concrete example. I have a repo for writing 2500-5000 word research articles. I will come up with a topic and break it down into sub topics and create github issues for each. Then I check in my writing to resolve the issue. In other words, I will write enough for the subtopic and check it in and make the issue complete. Same plan works for client code or personal products I code. It's easy, low overhead, and I always have things to do.

The only other thing I do is try to resolve as many issues as I can in a day. Sometimes personal projects take a back seat. But if you make your tasks about a half an hour each, you will find you get great momentum and you'll have time for each project you're working on.
But presumably you'd also be able to reverse-engineer the binaries much more freely (currently the DMCA prohibits most of those activities), so the market for source code would have a lot more players than just the original owner. Consider the interplay between Wine and Microsoft; in the absence of IP, Wine would probably be a lot more feature-ful and popular, perhaps even driving Microsoft out of business.

Trolldor: Global Blacklist of Twitter Trolls
There is a natural break between system-level package management and language-level package management. If you install language-level packages with system-level package managers, then each language package needs to support every single system-level package manager. E.g. you write a Ruby package and now you have to support apt-get, yum, Gentoo, Arch, brew, MacPorts, etc. This is a completely ridiculous situation to put language developers in, especially since most language-level packages don't care what system they run on.

Instead, the best practice seems to be to install programming languages with the system-level package manager and install the language's packages with the language-level package manager. That way you only need one system-level package per language, and each language-level package only needs to deal with that language's package manager. The system package manager is responsible for dealing with system-specific things while the language package manager is responsible for language-specific things. It's a natural division.

It is conceivable that there could be a single cross-language, language-level package manager. But what language would it be written in? And how would it deal with the fact that each language uses different technologies and has different approaches for installing and configuring libraries and packages? When you think about it for a bit, I don't think it's so insensible for each language to have its own package manager.
This is wat i understand of the previous HN post (didn't see it then though).

They already opensourced an iOS app some time ago https://github.com/openworm/openwormbrowser-ios

Some people met Stephen, who is incredibly enthusiastic after chasing such a challenging problem.

It's not an exact model yet, but it's getting closer. The end goal is to get the model to the point where if you run an experiment on the virtual worm, you can be certain you'll get the same results on the real worm.

Seems like a big project, i wish you the best!
Are you sure it's not perception -> language, or perception <-> language.
