One thought experiment I encourage everyone to try, even for a day, is to look at things you buy as a product of your locale's minimum wage.

For example in the UK a lunchtime coffee is about 25 minutes 'worth' of min wage. A one-hour flying lesson is 25 minimum-wage-hours.

Even a can of humble baked beans in sauce is five minimum-wage0minutes.

It is very humbling.
The Simple Experiment That Showed Us What to Build Next
When I was reviewing existing static site generators I couldn't make Hakyll install - but this was back under Squeeze (Debian).

I have to put in another viewpoint here.

How a woman looks decide who I [try to] talk to, but a good sense of humor, intelligence and cool personality will change my "target" quickly.

From what I've seen, this is not unusual for men. (And probably the same goes for women too, I wish I had anecdotal evidence that my "good" sense of humor worked wonders. :-) )

Edit: Other people below said similar things.

Edit 2: How large percentage of relationships (in small/big cities) starts with people you meet online, these days? Is the article relevant?

Edit 3: As a clarification [and answer to removed(/reinserted?) comment]. I reacted to "Contrast that with male perception, if you think a girl is attractive, everything she says suddenly sounds meaningful and important.". It is too much of a simplification. Attraction to women can come from other things than eyes.

A couple of examples:

- I was crazy over a woman that was far from pretty while ignoring a cool woman. (She dumped me after a year, sigh.) Her (irritated) old time friends said she always had a tail of guys.

- I ended up weirdly on a date with a fat woman a while ago, which I realized that we had both misunderstood -- she was way out of my league in "mate value" (I realized that early in the dinner, so I spent the time asking about her really cool work and previous jobs).

This is not common (large "mate value" for women not based on looks but personality, intelligence and so on), but do exist. (And can also be quite obvious, not after knowing someone for months/years.)
You're correct in that it's not as dominant now, and has been slowly losing its power over time, but its strength is still present, especially due in no small part to the Bible belt. Even alcohol is tightly regulated still in various parts of the country.

Congressmen still show a reluctance to reverse already existing laws regulating drugs - it's easier to get them to pass new laws than reverse existing ones unless the existing ones are truly broken.
But why $25/hr? A 50 hour work week would bring in $62,000 a year. A married couple working "minimum wage" jobs would make over $120,000 a year. That's crazy. The "minimum wage" would put a couple in the top 10% of American household earners.

Working backwards from a stated goal that a hard working Amarican married couple should be "middle class", and should make a middle class income of $60,000 (about what people consider middle class), working 50 hours a week equates to a minimum wage of $12/hr.

(Given, my equation breaks down when considering unmarried parents, but it's a quick way to discuss what is the "ideal" minimum wage. If you work, you're middle class - if you choose not to work, that naturally results in lower income)
Thanks! I've actually written this out of frustration with the existing tutorials and kind of for self reference, since every time I want to do a tunnel I spend 15 minutes googling it :)
It is a form of moderation. It may not be as extreme as outright deletion, but it does make the comment harder to read, which is a mild form of censorship.

And, yes, I'm aware of why it can happen, and how one can deal with it. It's just a trend that's getting far worse than I remember it being. There was one Python submission I saw yesterday where probably 1/3rd of the comments were greyed out when I viewed it. It becomes distracting, and makes it harder to read the comments.

I usually end up reading them anyway, since so much legitimate and valuable content is now shown in grey so often. It defeats the purpose of displaying comments like that when so much good content has so frequently been mis-voted down.
Wow. You have guts. Unproductive is a very mean word to use for people who work their ass off and still get underpaid. Something can be exploitation while it's still legal. And the blame does lie with the employer in that case. If they can't pay their workers a reasonable living wage, they should raise their prices or they have no business, or at least the law should make it so that they don't have one.
Evo-* people have always pretty much relied on "just-so" stories. Evolutionary biologists who claim that feathers evolved from scales by snakes jumping off trees for millions of years are falling into the same trap.
I would assume it's because of this line:

You could replace "CrossFit" with "college" (or a lot of other things in life)

That's just an absurd statement. It implies that the problem is you - your over-training, or your inability to do the right things. But in CrossFit or in college, you are following a prescribed path someone else laid out. The author points out how the cult of CrossFit promotes blind following WOD/et al. So no - you can't replace CrossFit with college in this case and suggesting so implies that he/she did not truly read the article.

It is also a supply problem. A lot of good things that were written in the past are still valuable today. New writers need to compete for people's reading time with more and more great writers from the past.

That's just the convention in how words are presented to learners in different languages, I think, and it's surely obvious to anyone with even a few minutes of exposure to Romanian that -ul is one of the enclitics for the definite article.

Anyway, I don't know that's even a useful distinction on its own. The difference between "the X" and "X" doesn't map very well across languages, even within Europe. English drops the article in many circumstances in which Romance languages use it.
I try to do the opposite (although I fail at times to) - downvoting for simply disagreement amounts to squelching dissent on a whim. If you downvote, at least a response as to why would be good. Otherwise, it amounts to communal censorship.

I'm not a fan of voting systems that let you downvote in general though.

> From what I've seen, this is not unusual for men.

Yes, I agree with everything you said. Of course the implication here is that it's different for women. Which may well be the case.

Anecdotal evidence on my part seems to suggest that men are prone to add exceptions to their filter in order to let people in, whereas women overwhelmingly tend to only restrict their results further. In the end, this all might be explainable by supply and demand concepts, the underlying theory being that women always have a higher mate value than men. This sounds mathematically absurd at first, but it seems to fit the behavior patterns observable in the wild.

Some strength coaches see a good deadlift as the outcome of excellence at other disciplines, so there is no need to specifically add deadlifting itself to a solid program.

Personally I could take or leave DL, I have it in my routine right now but I sumo lift as I need to work on hamstring strength due to suffering from backpain largely due to pelvis alignment issues. The other thing to note about sumo is your lift succeeds or fails in the first inches off the ground where the power is going through your legs and your back is fixed in a "strong" position, whereas your classic deadlift stance the off the ground is the easy part and you are fighting with the weight getting upright where your back is at its most vulnerable.
Pretty cool seeing this here. I recently met someone who works at the observatory here in the island in a Python user group meeting. I was intrigued by the kind of work he did over there with Python.

For the most part, I think people want a workout to follow, they want to be part of a gym, and they want fellow sufferers and coaches to motivate them.

I don't think the motivation for people doing CrossFit is worded correctly. People want to do CrossFit because it's fun. For most people, going to a normal gym is boring. I tried gyms on and off for years but could never stick to going more than 4-6 weeks at a time before losing interest. While I don't do CrossFit, I do another sport that replaces lifting, climbing in my case. I get most of the benefits of going to a gym plus it is insanely fun and I've met countless friends through it.

There is a huge market out there for fun replacements for the gym. I'm guesstimating that 75% of the people in a regular gym are not having a good time and would swap their current workout routine with something enjoyable and social. There simply aren't many choices. I can think of climbing, CrossFit, the up-and-coming parkours gyms (looks awesome: http://www.apexmovement.com/), probably boxing (although surprisingly getting punched in the face sucks), what else? In principle yoga could be on this list but in practice the yoga centers I've been to feel a bit uptight and certainly aren't social. Team sports are great fun but all I can think of are cardiovascular and don't give you any muscle building exercises.

Obviously if you take a really superficial, surface reading of 'rich' then it's not going to be very useful.

I find it valuable to memorise the fact that the terms "remote" and "local" are referring to which end of the tunnel is doing the listening; with local forwarding, the local machine, i.e. the one you are SSH'ing from, is the one that's listening, while with remote it's the remote machine (server) that listens.

Downvotes are sometimes useful for getting users to fight spam. One interesting solution I encountered on lobste.rs is to ask for a reason (out of a small list) before allowing me to downvote. It sure stopped me from censoring stuff that I find annoying.
The OP was quite clear. The risk versus reward for deadlifts is not (IHO) worth it.

They are a staple in many programs (as noted here) but like a few other exercises some professionals do not think they are worth the risk.

CF does not particularly reward lower weight and form concentration. The movement rewards speed and explosive progression rather than incremental progression based on safe principles.

I am not a hater of CF but putting people in a competitive environment where they are encouraged to max effort then saying "you should have taken it easy" is ludicrous.
Swiss here. I want to highlight two problems in the proposal:

> They argue that surviving on less than 4,000 francs a month is not possible because rents, health insurance and food are all prohibitively expensive.

There are multiple problems with that. The first beeing that you can survive on less than 4000 francs a month. A few of my friends are doing it, and they live directly in the city of Zürich where flats and food is most expensive. They aren't living like kings, but they can afford a small appartment and a car.
Seriously, that number is just too high. Okay, as a decent (senior) dev you'll get 8000 per month, in Zürich. But as a dev, you'll have a pretty good live in Switzerland in general, nevertheless, you can live on 3000 a month directly in Zürich if you can live with a one room flat. If you're on minimum wage you'll probably want to accept a 20 minute train ride and live a bit outside the city and get a larger flat.

The second problem: If you're outside of Zürich/Geneva/$expensiveCity, with 4k/month you can probably afford a 4-room flat and a decent car.

Seriously, the rent is the biggest issue here, you would have to set the minimim wage depending on where in Switzerland you live (i.e. minimum wage per canton, not for the whole country). If you're on minimum wage you probably don't have a huge selection of offers where you're going to work, or the option to work remote, so you need work near your flat. So if you have to work in Zürich on minimum wage, that would be just plain unfair.

Having said that, I'm not against minimum wage, I just think the proposal is bullshit.
>because the evidence does not overwhelmingly support this statement

To which evidence are you referring?

Crying shame.
I cannot +1 this comment enough.

I have seen recently, particularly from STEM-themed forums that the standard rebuttal is "you cannot speak for every X since every X is not documented/viewed/visited".

The cinema analogy is very well put. It is an exceptionally weak attempt to divert an argument by claiming *all X must be tested."

In reality all that is required is a reasonable belief of proof that withstands questioning. The OP easily withstands questioning when speaking for all of CrossFit.

I think there's a typo...

"Now let's stop here for a little bit an explain what is actually going on. In the first example the 9000:github.com:80 is actually saying forward my local port 9000 to github.com at port 80."

However at that point there is no example that uses github.com as an argument.

Edit: In fact there's possibly an issue with the ports being talked about in one of the examples too; 8000 vs 9000.
> I lack 'deep', real knowledge and am desperate to acquire this mythical stuff before it's too late.

I mean, there are books on this stuff? Read them, do their exercises, and you will be fine.

I will say, most of this stuff now functions mostly as mind training. The specifics about low level computer systems, Big (O), parsing and compilers is the only part I see repeated use in my day to day.

>So knowing this, how would I best use say 8-12 hours a day, every day, to learn this stuff?

You should audit courses at a CS program taught near you. This stuff is chunky and the books are designed mostly for a classroom setting
I agree, but what does that have to do with minimum wage? Raising the minimum wage doesn't necessarily raise people's income. If your labor is not worth more than $25/h to your employer you'll just lose your job (or never get hired in the first place.)

Another problem is that the costs are not spread equally. An industry that employs a lot of low skill workers has to burden a huge amount of the cost of it, whereas a business that automates all their employees doesn't have to pay a dime. And those costs might pass on to consumers and cause problems, competing with different countries.

The better alternative is a basic income (or some variation of it.) Tax everyone, not just the industries that employ lots of workers, include the unemployed in the benefits, and don't create artificial disincentives to hire people.
All non profit means is that people looking to extract money from the organization have to do it in the form of salary (or perhaps favorable contracts or the like).

Certain non profits have to be a little careful how they spend their money if they want to keep whichever favored tax status, but that's about the only other distinction from other organizations.

The PBS Foundation is a 501c, but I'm having trouble figuring out if PBS itself is (I think it is just a non profit).
> In any other country laws are usually made by lobbyists.

I learned about the essay, and read it, because of one of the previous times it came up here at HN. (A search find 7 other matches; the one with the most comments is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7555013 .)

It's definitely influence my way of thinking about "open-allocation style organizations", if I understand your meaning correctly. Eg, one group I'm loosely associated with strongly asserts that it's unstructured, and declares that anyone can do anything. As a result, it doesn't seem to actually do anything except act as a boasting point for one of the original founders.

While another, which I used to be closely associated with, has an organizational structure, yearly meetings, GSOC participation, etc.
From the medical point of view what author says is true. Actually, it's not something new, there are many complaints about crossfit from knowledgeable people. Especially often I see powerlifters ranting about crossfit being harmful.

But here's the problem. As you know HN isn't sports resource, yet article about CF is on top. Why? …You see what I mean? It's extremely popular amongst people that don't want to be powerlifters or swimmers or sprinters, that don't really care about competing at all, they just want to have some exercising program to follow and stay fit. Which is totally fair. For which crossfit is better than nothing (at least until you injure your ankle while doing box-jumps). And I completely understand those who doesn't follow advices like "don't do crossfit, do powerlifting" as powerlifting competitions cannot be the goal for them.

What I'm saying is when there is counter-advice there should be advice as well. Now, Erin isn't a powerlifter and sure she provides something like "fitness training plan", but while the idea of crossfit training is clear (maximizing intensity whatever exercises you do) neither she nor others provide enough material for self-education to be able to do some "not-harmful crossfit". And people essentially want "not-harmful crossfit", not training for judo or sprinting or powerlifting… unless they do judo or sprinting or powerlifting of course.

So, tl;dr: crossfit is harmful — nothing new here. "Train like an athlete, but train safely." — not informative/constructive enough.
But certainly not too short and powerful for the Culture! ;)
Crossfit is not hard because it incorporates a few Olympic lifts; it's because it asks you to do 50 clean and jerks as quickly as you can.
