I run about the same as the parent, give or take, and mine are fine. I've done a few ultra marathons and I'm gearing up for one in September where I'll be traversing 170mi for a week while carrying 8-10kgs of weight(www.g2gultra.com, for the curious). For what it's worth, I'm 32, and have done a number of ultras since I started running actively at 25. It takes time to build up.

One observation is that if you were running everyday(I'll assume you mean that literally), then you weren't giving yourself time to rest and recover, which may be why you are experiencing your pain. I hope you recover soon!

Having said that though, if you are experiencing knee pain(and I can say I've had my share), you're doing the right thing by resting and taking up swimming. I'm not much of a swimmer at all, but getting in the pool and being able to work out despite having hurt myself felt like heaven.
Yes, I would be one of those 'Some', but preferred to respond to your characterisation of the issue.
Canada uses the same scheme. It isn't incorrect, just different. A "supreme" court is one of general jurisdiction and are the highest court to which an issue may be brought (as opposed to appellate courts which do not hear issues directly). They are supreme over courts of limited jurisdiction such as family or probate courts.

The US Supreme Court (federal) actually uses the same name scheme as New York and Canada. All district and appellate are limited geographically, with the supreme court being the only court of general jurisdiction (Amongst the fed. All US fed courts are technically limited). But some actions can still be brought directly to the SCOTUS such as disputes between states over land. So it is not purely an appellate court, hence the term supreme.
Absolutely on naming. I read the article and thought that Letters sounded like a good game so I figured I'd go get it. I went to the app store, searched for 'Letters' and got a million early childhood apps returned (actually around 2300, but I couldn't find it).

I ended up searching for Tetra, wading through a few Tetris clones, finding the author, looking at the other games he had published, then finding Letters in the 'also by' section. Frustrating and a big issue for discoverability - if I wanted to recommend the game to a friend, how do I do that without sending them a link or getting them to wade through my list of games on Game Centre?
I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it isn’t function composition. Function composition consumes outputs as it produces inputs, in equal measure — in f(g(x)), the domain of f is bounded by the codomain of g, which is itself bounded by x. If g has three branches, but f always outputs a value that takes the first branch, then g will only ever follow one branch in your test; you won’t get a combinatoric explosion of possible branches taken.

You might be thinking more of testing several expressions independently, e.g. assert([f(x), g(x)] == […]). This does what you’re talking about, but I don’t think anybody (including the author of the post) was recommending this.

"Honesty" is a logistical headache when it comes to recorded performances. Imagine, before digital distribution, tracking every movie ticket, every rental, every purchase (don't forget discounts like matinée tickets, coupons, clearance, etc), every clip used where royalties are due, etc ... and paying royalties to every face in your movie, at various rates depending on screen time or 'voice' time...

As the talent, it's just easier to demand a large payment up front and just forget about the royalties. As the studio, it's easier just to pay that amount up front. Then, magic voodoo accounting and poof any statutory royalties are eliminated.

I suppose in this case, the "honest" studio is negotiating that large up-front payment to its talent rather than trying to sell the talent on the eternal royalties that never come.

This is the part of the software patent I've never understood. Surely if the standard of "non-obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art" was applied sensibly then most of the more absurd patents wouldn't be granted.

Of course there is the 'obvious in hindsight' problem but this test has been weakened beyond all recognition.

I don't eat red meat but maybe a few times a year. My protein is mostly from fish, eggs, greek yogurt, fowl, and protein powder/bars sparingly.

I don't find carbs in any form particularly satiating. Unless I have protein and/or fat with a meal, I'm hungry quickly after. So steel cut oats, not satiating on their own. But if I add say crushed walnuts to the oats and have a couple eggs or greek yogurt too, I fine almost till dinner. The more refined the carbs, the worse it is for me.

The point is that even the guidelines are murky, and that it isn't clear what foods our "evolutionary past" intended us to eat. The best that the evidence seems to suggest is that diets varied widely in early humans.

So basing your diet, even loosely, off a false or unclear understanding of the diets of early hunter gatherers, is probably a worse strategy than following more contemporary research on the health benefits of different dietary strategies.

I really wish you'd make a much better explanation. I really don't feel safe giving +x and running something named 'purge' off of a random github entry with a 2 line read me.
All of this highlights the need for more funding towards nutrition science. It's absurdly hard to do this stuff (e.g., controlling what people eat for a year), so it's expensive. But given how expensive things like diabetes are, I think it'd be societally efficient to drop $100M or something on few grand randomized controlled experiments.

This[1] is the closest thing I'm aware of. You'd sorta hope governments would make this kind of thing a priority.

Overall, Wikipedia is great. However, it is essential to always keep in mind its crowd sourced nature. Michael Scott (of The Office) put it thusly:

the world can write anything they want about
any subject, so you know you are getting the
best possible information.
WikiLeaks publishes 'unprecedented' secret Australian court suppression order
I have no doubt that Australia has significant higher levels of fraud and corruption than what is usually perceived by society. The problem is that the press here reports virtually nothing, probably as a consequence of the strange defamation and libel laws that we have.

As an example, I have witness of two significant cases of fraud in the last 5 years. In the first, a lawyer stole more than $2 million from trust accounts. The second was a professor from a major university who misused close to $100K from grants. In both cases, the matters were dealt with internally (returning money, compensating victims, etc.) and no single piece of information about this went to the press.
Is HN picky about going off-topic? I haven't commented much here.

African cocoa farmers taste chocolate for the first time
Thanks for the comments. I don't use crypto-in-browser, nor do I generate keys on the server. I built a (very simple) protocol specifically for this purpose to avoid the issue that current email has of requiring at least 3 different protocols to handle the entire round-trip (add to that if you're doing SPAM filtering, databased user authentication, etc.). XMPP, from my brief experience with it, is well suited to "instant"-type communications, but the vast majority of "legitimate" emails are significantly more substantive than "instant" messages, so I believe the NeoMsg protocol is superior for this particular task.

As of right now, the source is not open, but it is definitely my plan to open source the building blocks (the server, the reference implementation client, the client libraries, and the web client) in an effort to reach everybody I can (some people would rather pay for hosting; some would rather host themselves and I respect that -- I ran my own SMTP/IMAP server for almost a decade)
It totally started out as a JRPG in my head. I definitely think there's a market for it, though I would start with two languages that share an alphabet to simplify things.
"... and they were never heard from again!"
I would imagine they are probably operating like Amazon: spending all their money on growth, mainly on acquiring talent. If they get big enough, they will be able to close huge deals with the government. Maybe the investors see this as a safe bet to hedge their portfolio, kinda like a value investment. My 2 cents..
Thanks! It's something I would love to tackle someday but I have some other things to accomplish first.

That was my experience the one time I got called in for jury duty. I was very curious about the process and disappointed when I missed the final cut. I did got into the court room, and had a look at the defendant, heard the charges...

Dustin Moskovitz's Book Recommendations (Co-Founder of Asana and Facebook)
I think a videogame has several advantages over the book format as you can offer different contexts to learn the same thing in a rote way, and let the user ask questions.

Also, Latin just has too many weird tenses and stuff to pick up that way, I would imagine. At least English to French or Spanish, there's shared grammar.

I spoke too-quickly regarding the radioactive shielding requirements, they're more manageable than I thought [1]. For the 10-cm thick tungsten wall, following [1], it looks like the shielding factor is ~25,000. That's more significant than it sounds, because only the gammas emitted at the surface of the cobalt see that shielding factor. The rest are better shielded, up to factors of 10^11 in the best case (propagating all the way across the sphere).

It's still a spooky thing to assemble, but it does appear that if the shielding is preserved, that it could be done without ridiculous quantities of assembly/launch shielding.

Keep in mind that even without a SIM, the GSM radio is still active[1]. From my GSM-layman perspective, it sounds safer than being in a "trusted" pairing with the network, yet since it's all closed source, you have to wonder if there are magic packets that can own your device just as badly as if you have a SIM in.

Show HN: Solid side income from market inefficiencies
I have suspected this for a long time as well; by requiring attention and planning to get the appropriate items from the limited set permitted by the diet the real goal, making an evaluation each time you eat, is achieved.

I suspect people cycle through different palettes/diets until they find one that suits their personal tastes, or until some other stars align in their life and motivation such that their next attempt was going to succeed anyway. People then become cargo cult evangelists for that particular diet. That's without even looking at some of the people who profit from diet fads and promote them with various techniques.

That's all conjectural on my part though, perhaps one day a researcher that models memes with techniques from epidemiology will get an appropriate data set to seriously investigate.
>is probably a worse strategy than following more contemporary research on the health benefits of different dietary strategies.

You've implicitly assumed that the strategy is not also informed by contemporary research, but the particular framework being criticized, that of Mark Sisson, makes extensive reference to contemporary research.

In fact, a reader of Mark's Daily Apple is probably linked to more peer-reviewed articles than a reader of, say, Scientific American. Consider e.g.:

In my experience (which I've written a bit about at habitformed.com if you're curious), habits like these do become engrained if you keep at them long enough and if they specifically don't require any willpower. The key I've found is to take willpower out of the equation because you'll always be lacking that.

One way I judo'd my own eating habits was to force myself to eat two servings of decently healthy tasty things before being allowed a serving of junk. eg. some fruit, some nuts, then cookies. It didn't need willpower to enforce because I could always eat my way to a delicious cookie if I really wanted it.
Not convinced about point 2. A kind of internal silence that's not always questing for more knowledge has importance as well.
Funny that a HN member would know his name from that rather than his security work. I guess we're pretty diverse. :) I enjoyed that doc too.
>Several senior diplomats involved in past negotiations have described the decision to ransom their citizens as an agonizing calculation: accede to the terrorists’ demand, or allow innocent people to be killed, often in a gruesome, public way?

At least if they're killed in a gruesome, public way, their killers are outed as the barbarian savages that they are. This may be a widely-known thing in the West, but not everyone has gotten the message.

And if you're going to pay the ransom, don't deny it later. If you deny it, you're leaving the kidnappers with absolutely no downside - people don't even have to know how these organizations are funded.

Where I'm from (Ireland/UK) students buy their own books, but they're much much cheaper than the US. I think the price of grade school textbooks is high because it's school districts doing the buying. College textbooks are also a lot cheaper, eg I'd expect to pay about $30-40 for a typical textbook from a major publisher like Pearson or similar. I got a hell of a shock when I moved to the US and found college-level textbooks to be 3-4 times more expensive than what I was used to.

Why not a 5 year moratorium on any details on any crime, since there could be significant defamation resulting from the trial? Why do these politicians have so much more protection that regular people? If international trade is so important, then why publish any details on any trading partner?
If the more accurate spying is used in the same manner as the less accurate type, then obviously more accurate is preferable. More often, the 'more accurate' version is accompanied by significant improvements in breadth and usability making the 'spying tool' responsible for much more spying behavior.

A good example is the history of tracking cars. Privacy concerns with police tracking were originally non-existent since the first versions were police literally following cars, so the number of potential targets was limited by the number of officers. Then came tracking beacons that were physically attached to the car, enabling a single officer / command center to track hundreds or thousands of vehicles. Undoubtedly more accurate and detailed, but mildly more invasive. The latest iteration of this is to simply track every car on the road via cameras with OCR or through RFID on toll passes. After you've collected a history of every vehicle in an area, you can pick-and-choose which ones are interesting. This is astronomically more detailed since you now have a history of where every baddie was at various points in time, but I think most would agree that it's much more invasive than ever before.
>The heart rate measurement doesn’t work so well (it fails two times out of three) but it also shows steady downward progress.

Look into buying a 3rd party HRM (heart rate monitor). There's a fair chance that a chest strap will broadcast to your device and that you won't need a watch.

In my case, my treadmill's metal pads wouldn't read my HR consistently.

The strap that came with the Polar FT7* (I think it might be an HR1?) broadcasts to my treadmill, which solves the problem for me, and lets me track even if I forego the watch.

The watch (more or less a display unit for the chest strap) is handy for resistance training or exercising outside, though.

I don’t know about a chroot, but I was thinking for deterministic Docker/LXC builds that it’d be good to have namespaces for:

A. the seed value of /dev/[u]random, and

B. the system clock (it’d be especially great if namespaces could have clocks that ticked at different rates, or which only ticked when the namespace's parent process told them to, etc.)

With these two things in place, you’d be able to implement something like ZeroVM just using LXC.

For subjects one is interested in, I don't think that the books' utility ends with the academic year. Also, I don't think the secondary market costs are very significant, it's not hard for parents in the same school district to find each other. I used to sell some used books to a neighbor whose child was 1 year behind me in school when I was growing up, though I kept some other books for subjects I particularly liked.

As I mentioned in another comment I grew up in a place where textbooks are much, much more affordable - I believe that a lot of this has to do with parents being exposed to the actual book prices every year, rather than the books being purchased at the institutional level and the costs passed on to taxpayers.
