> which should grow to be about 15-18 miles at a minimum of 90% of goal race pace a month before the marathon

Your race pace is going to be your long run pace. There's no ifs ands or buts about it if you are training up to a marathon.

Your advice elsewhere regarding fartleks/tempo/hills I think applies more to seasoned competitive runners or runners who have ran marathons prior. I don't think it applies well to newbies.

Judge Learned Hand would disagree with you:

"Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes."

Helvering v. Gregory, 69 F.2d 809, 810-11 (2d Cir. 1934).

"Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one's affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant."

Commissioner v. Newman, 159 F2d 848 (1947)
"feeding accidents"
In around threads people are suggesting for mother to sleep with their child. This can easily lead to constriction of said child. Happened all the time as late as XIX century.

On the other side, I don't see how you can die from a soft rubber nipple.

I would actually pay quite some money to avoid interacting with unrelated human beings.
>I don't understand why Mark Cuban is morally obligated to invest in corporations doing things he doesn't like.

I never implied he was. I'm curious what his reasoning is.
Probably a bad idea - there's a lot more going on in those feedings than just the food:

To investigate the debate, Dr. Harlow created inanimate surrogate mothers for the rhesus infants from wire and wood.[5] Each infant became attached to its particular mother, recognizing its unique face and preferring it above all others. Harlow next chose to investigate if the infants had a preference for bare wire mothers or cloth covered mothers. For this experiment he presented the infants with a cloth mother and a wire mother under two conditions. In one situation, the wire mother held a bottle with food and the cloth mother held no food, and in the other, the cloth mother held the bottle and the wire mother had nothing.[5]

Overwhelmingly, the infant macaques preferred spending their time clinging to the cloth mother.[5] Even when only the wire mother could provide nourishment, the monkeys visited her only to feed. Harlow concluded that there was much more to the mother/infant relationship than milk and that this “contact comfort” was essential to the psychological development and health of infant monkeys and children. It was this research that gave strong, empirical support to Bowlby’s assertions on the importance of love and mother/child interaction.

How do you propose governments should fix the "society-imposed monopoly"? Why would society be interested in having governments that grow their role to such tasks?
He doesn't care about that. He's not looking at it from the trader's perspective but from the value investors.

His actions follow through completely with his intentions here - he's signaling that the equity has lost value. This can hurt the company's value if he builds consensus, whether they lock in the short term profit or not. It's even the subtext of his whole argument: they aren't looking at the long-term consequences of their actions but are chasing short-term gains completely at the expense of their future.

Edit: And as much as I align with the trader's perspective on markets, traders tend to blow up and with great frequency...much more-so than value investors.
What hasn't soured relations between the United States and other countries in the last 15 years?

Changing our tax rates seems downright benign.
Another factor critical to success and sanity is having a partner that understands the demand and zeal that goes with having a startup.

Which - I swear - is what I'll tell my wife the next time I say "I've gotta finish this" and she starts humming Cats in the Cradle softly.
From some of the feedback we've received, not very well.

Definitely an interesting challenge to solve.
About a year ago, a friend wrote a good post about diversity in hackathons which was submitted to HN and hit #2 quickly, then dropped down to the second page in an instant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6495950

Not many people commented on it. I believe the flame-war detector only takes significant effect when # comments > # points, which is a pretty good heuristic for a flame war that has gone out of control.

Someone driving in a car who's not paying attention for a moment and hits someone else feels like an accident to me. The same could have happened with a missile. Strictly speaking, everything has a cause. So by that definition there are no accidents.

That's all just arguing semantics though. I even agree with you that the term "accident" is not correct, despite what I wrote above. (Although I don't agree with your reasoning behind it). I'd prefer the term "incident".
This was a well written post and I think it shows that sama gets it. A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept, as a post argued a few days ago. This is also the case here. If we all push for a more equitable Silicon Valley then we can make loads of progress in a short time. The rate of progress is more important than how much behind we are.

Many of us here are idealists. We don't want to work on any product, we want to make a great product. We want to do the right things. We want to use best practices and we want to hold ourselves and others to high moral standards. To make Silicon Valley a place of equal opportunity (regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, etc) we have to fight prejudices where they exist and we have to hold each other to this high standard too.

This may come at a cost in the short term. Hiring your college buddies is easy. Building a qualified diversified team is hard. But making this extra effort is worth it. It's worth it because there is an unbelievable amount of talent out there that is excluded from SV as it exists today. It's unjust and a tremendous waste of human capital.
Any chance to change the license to MIT?
That's really ridiculous. You HAVE to have a "nice, green lawn"?
It's very immoral to benefit from the utilities, roads, emergency services, etc provided for by tax money and work very hard to not contribute.

Think starting a business is hard? Try starting a business without any infrastructure.

What's worse is that companies like Walmart get cities and towns to build infra to new Walmart locations and funnel lots of the money away from the areas that provide the infra.
That's his point though. Can't you say the same thing about you hiring a tax accountant (or hell, TurboTax) to get you the deductions that you're eligible for?
What's wrong with g+, facebook, instagram, snapchat? I'm not saying they're perfect, just wondering how you would improve on them?

> The other half is that most submissions about gender/diversity get flagged to death very consistently, which make it difficult to have any meaningful discussion about these topics.

It isn't user flagging that makes meaningful discussion difficult. It's the discussers, unfortunately, who are doing that. I wonder if you may have cause and effect reversed here.

Also, it isn't true that most of these submissions get flagged to death. Some do, but most don't, so in most cases the discussions continue. Moderators also sometimes unkill stories that were flag-killed, precisely so discussions can continue. (An example from last night is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8083596).
Business' goal is to make money, but countries let business exist to employ people and sustain the economy. Clients deal with businesses to have services provided. Employees work for businesses to sustain their lives, etc.

Businesses don't exist in a vacuum, they don't only exist for themselves and should act more like a part of a whole. If a business breaks the social or economic tissue around it, it will eventually be seen as harmful and face sanctions. If a business is unwilling to benefit the society, it might be a good thing to let it leave for somewhere else.
We recently switched (like 2 weeks ago) our project from deployment on ubuntu servers via 'git pull' managed with supervisord to docker/coreos/fleet, and it's been epic. While coreos is built for large clusters, we run a 3 host cluster in ec2, and couldn't be happier. We switched from multiple servers running 1 instance of each service to load balancing all instances on these 3 hosts. This increased uptime, made deployment and management easier, and gave us the benefits of docker as well (verifying things work locally).

There's only 2 real problems, both of them very minor:

* fleet managing state. We've had to manually kill containers sometimes, and destroy systemd services before we could start it again.

* all EC2 amis use ebs backed instances. We haven't used a higher-IOPs ebs backed instance because the only delay we see are in startup times (which doesn't matter, just longer rolling deploys). But an instance-backed ami would be nice.

"Cheatsheet" might not be the best term for the summary page, perhaps "quick reference". I picked cheatsheet because it's a little more approachable than "reference", which implies something formal (and perhaps offputting).
No subscription fees. You set your monthly shipment budget, and a box with various streetwear brands/products will ship to you monthly. You get one week to decide what you keep. Then you send back what you don't want, and you get charged for what you kept.
The money supply is constantly changed by the Fed in response to demand for cash, to maintain consistent inflation.

In 2008 when everyone started selling their stocks, the Fed had to create massive amounts of money to match the appreciation of the stocks that were being sold. Thus, because the money supply grew in that situation, people said money was "coming out of" stocks. In reality it was value coming out of stocks, and the money was being created by the Fed. So think of it as shorthand for what's really happening.

"Economic Patriotism" as described here is a ridiculous concept. There is nothing patriotic about demanding that another guy pay more taxes. Its like signing up someone else for the military. Want to show patriotism? Write a check of your own money to the Treasury Dept.

Edit: I don't mean to suggest the tax code shouldn't be changed. I just mean compelling others to sacrifice, doesn't make a person patriotic.

Not that long ago, you participated in an HN poll that showed about 3/4 of the HN population do not believe in God. Yet this particular comment, and several of yours in this post, have been downmodded heavily. That suggests either that the religious types on HN are very well organized, or that even the non-religious types find these comments out of place. I suggest it is the latter.

You complained a few months ago about someone being rude, and said "Religious discrimination is no lesser than racism or sexism." Perhaps you should take your own advice to heart. Somebody here showed a project he's been working on which happens to be religious-focused. The right response is to discuss his software -- not to make discriminatory comments about religion. Notice that nobody has engaged in religious proselytizing in this thread except for you (in deleted comments). Nobody has tried to wedge in any sort of commentary about the truth of Christianity or any other religion except for you. Everybody else knows better.

Here on HN, we prefer for comments to have actual substance -- to say genuinely interesting things. There's a section of the guidelines that's explicit about flamewar topics (religion, politics): only introduce those topics if you have something genuinely new to say. The parent comment, as well as most of yours, are stale and boring. There's nothing genuinely new, nothing profound, nothing insightful, just anger. That may be appropriate for FaceBook, but not for Hacker News. Elevate the conversation.

The idea would be to shift the tax burden from corporate profits to dividends and capital gains.
While driving a car, I get stung in the neck by a bee. I freak out. I hit someone. It's unintentional, there's consequential failures. Yet it's not negligence by any definition I know.

Language is so hard. It's no wonder communication is the cause of most of your conflicts.
it's really hard to address everything in one post, and i think the issues around gender and race in tech are pretty different. (we did include a stat on international founders, many of which are not white.)

i don't think we're playing this on "easy mode", but i'm sorry you feel that way.
Funny enough - that exists [1]

That said, murder & paying the least amount of taxes possible are slightly different scales of morality - don't you think?

Should you be judged morally because you have a tax accountant maximize your tax refund every year or should you just pay as much as possible without regard to being fiscally responsible to your own self?

We could probably just stop trying to tax people in those other countries and they'd be happy enough to forget about the corporate tax thing, speaking of stupid US tax policies.
I was just thinking the same stuff: "heart surgery for developers, by developers".
Always nice to see something new that isn't aiming for the 20-something SF resident.
There's probably a reason for the fact that there has never been a criminal case such as you've described, and it's for that reason the above poster is safe in writing what he did.
TrueVault is one piece of a HIPAA-compliant solution. We're providing complete end-to-end compliance. We're able to do this by:

1. Providing an end-to-end PaaS that supports all app services and databases that a customer needs to run.
2. Providing a compliance management dashboard, where customers can track their compliance status and maintain all the documentation they'd need to show to an auditor, or a customer concerned with their compliance status. Because we manage the entirety of a customer's technical operations, most of this documentation can be generated with minimal input from the customer.
I'm not very familiar with churchcommunitybuilder so I can't say.

As for scheduling volunteer and such, you should definitely check out Planning Center Services app (that's what I work on for my day job) - it is by far the best app for that sort of thing.

OneBody doesn't have any scheduling or giving stuff yet, sorry!

About the only thing OneBody might do for you in your situation would be to help with emailing all your volunteers. You could put them in separate "Groups" (per time, service, whatever) and then email that group at once. Then you could track attendance in that after the fact.
"It is the job of a business to make money, the most money possible, at all costs."

I hear this a lot, but its not true. Why do you think this is true? I think this belief often come from a misunderstanding of fiduciary duty.

For context, I own 3 businesses. They do not exist to make the most money possible at all costs.
> and the upcoming Jeb Bush election in America.

HA!!
>It is the job of a business to make money, the most money possible, at all costs. That is its single purpose existing.

I don't think that's the single purpose of a business existing. I hear this all the time and I'm not sure where it comes from. Lots of businesses exist to change things or provide ways to solve problems with money being the means to allow them to do this.

It's why you can have businesses that take long bets on better tech (Tesla, Space X) or work to fix large broken systems that are hard to enter (Palantir). Google also started with similar goals.
Easy to read at small sizes so you can have a lot of code. 1 and i are not similar. 0 and O are different. Looks good as white on black (or bright on black anyway). Spacing between the letters is correct for use in code. Etc.

There are several methods that allow this. I disagree with all of them, since I believe transparency is more important than anything else in an electoral process, and even the simplest is beyond comprehension of about 1/4 of voters, and beyond the effort to comprehend of about 3/4.
If you're curious about the historical details of the various "solutions" of the three-body problem (prior to 1996), then there's an excellent book for the layman, titled Poincare and the Three Body Problem by June Barrow-Green.

Your edit refers to something like the "Fair Tax", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairTax. It's been a while since I've read about it. From what I recall, some people are against it because they think it will disproportionately burden low income people.
Then you just joined a very large club. I don't think that means you shouldn't pay them, however.

Also, there are tons and tons of people who complain about taxes but don't do anything about them. Do you vote? Did you ever run for any public position? Did you ever write a letter to someone in a public position making an awesome suggestion, or volunteering your time to help fix the system you think is overinflated? (Just examples, you know what I mean...)

Of course I WISH taxes were lower, I love money! But I also believe that despite it's many, many, GLARING flaws... The USA is the best country on the planet, and I want to support that.
This is probably the best course of action. The teeth-gnashing over whether corporations should pay taxes should take a back-seat to whether it's practical to require them to. We have to acknowledge the race to the bottom that comes along with living in a globalized world. We don't have the leverage needed to tax these companies, and it's better if they stay here and don't pay taxes than if they move somewhere else and don't pay taxes.

"It is the job of a business to make money, the most money possible, at all costs. That is its single purpose existing."

I don't know if you are terribly inexperienced or trolling, but this is provably false. Besides the obvious examples of non-profits, one can easily imagine a business model that desires market-share over margin (looking at Japanese business models or even Amazon). I think you should read more before you take such an amoral view towards business and I sincerely hope you are never at the helm of a business I invest in.

At its heart, business is about creating value and exchanging that value for currency. You build a great house, mine raw ore and create steel, invent a new medicine... your product is your goal and future growth is just as important (if not more!) than your current revenues.
