1. By running I mean like staying in Zone 3 for an hour or more. Or Zone 4/5 for a minute or two.

2. You call it discomfort, I call it pain, for effect, probably not appropriate but I hope you didn't vote me down for this.

3. I'm not gonna argue about whether or not people enjoy pain (most don't). Exercise in general involves a number of components that feel good and feel bad but the bad is significantly more explicit then the good. This is not a fact but its a generality that's kind of evident when you see the obesity epidemic sweeping across 1st world countries. The majority of the population generally doesn't like to exercise because it is painful and uncomfortable. I think most people can comprehend this statement and it is not a logical fallacy; It is an evident generality.

Sometimes I see people in runner circles talk about a thing called "runners high" like it's cocaine, totally glossing over evident factors like why most normal won't run 10 miles just to chase a fabled runner's high. The logic here is obvious: the pain is not worth the high to most people.

I can't be sure but I think what's going on with those runners is what's going on here in this thread, a sort of unconscious denial about an obvious generality.
--
If weight training doesn't involve any pain, then I can't speak for it. I'm speaking for exercise in general which I believe I am correct.

4. Pain is usually not something that is enjoyed. If you do enjoy it it tends to be something that was learned. Like wine or beer. If that's not the case for you, ok, but I think the general notion is that these things are an "acquired taste" aka "learned," hence the presumption.

And yes I am telling people that they may not really be exercising. I see a lot of people quitting and doing things incorrectly with useless results.

5. Millions may exercise but Billions and billions of more people don't exercise because it's painful and uncomfortable. Are you telling me these groups of people cannot even comprehend one another? I think the average athlete has enough intelligence to comprehend why he is one of the few and why the majority of people on this earth don't exercise. Anecdotal evidence on this thread is nothing compared to anecdotal evidence from the real world.
But, because Browder was still on probation, the judge ordered him to be held and set bail at three thousand dollars. The amount was out of reach for his family...

He committed the worst crime of all. The one that adds up to more jail time for those that commit it than any other. Being poor.
The only laws I would be in favor of are required transparency laws where you have to report all breaches with serious fines/jail for failure to comply.

This is already the case. The information comes from JPM's (mandatory) SEC filings. I forget the time frame but stuff like this (information that could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on the stock price) has to be reported within a pretty narrow window of becoming known to management, like 72 hours or so.

The market will quickly sort things out if it has the appropriate information.

By all appearances the opposite is true. I mean, where do you move your business to? I have no idea which is the most secure bank, only which ones have so far discovered and reported breaches. Neither Target nor Home Depot seem to have been punished very severely by the market if their stock prices are anything to go by.
Or perhaps she would challenge how "passive" this income source is to maintain ;)
This is, I think, an interesting topic, but there are a few things I find troubling/puzzling about the article:

(1) It makes a big deal out of small differences.

> While computer scientists may make the most money right out of school, business is a more lucrative path in the long run. The 95th percentile of business majors (including graduate degrees) in terms of salary make $4.23 million over a lifetime, compared to $3.93 million for computer science majors, according to data collected by The Hamilton Project.

Okay, 7.6% more. Wow. The differences in the "strongly agree" percentages are a bit higher, but still not that big. I'm wondering whether the latter differences might be entirely chalked up to cultural differences in the fields that make people assign different meanings to "strongly agree" and "deeply interested".

(2) Looking at that 7.6% salary difference again, I have to wonder whether it's even correct. Part of the point of a business degree (or so I thought) is that you get a chance at the high levels of corporate leadership, where you get to make the big bucks. And yet, the 95th percentile of business majors makes barely more than the same percentile of C.S. majors? That doesn't sound right.

And that 95th percentile makes $4.23 million over their entire lifetime. Counting the working life as 42 years, that's just a hair over $100,000/year. Sounds seriously low to me. We're supposed to believe that only 5% of business majors make more than $100,000/year?

Or maybe business degrees are just a gigantic racket. But somehow I doubt that, too.
I'm not intentionally insulting people, but sure I can see why it is insulting. Still, it is an opinion. Tell me that you voted me down for being insulting and I won't call bs on that, this guy said I framed what I said as fact.
^ this. Oxymoron was the first word that came to mind on reading the title.

Wow, thanks for the plug and the kind words! Glad to hear the site is helping -- most of the time I miss the intricacies too, and end up adding things years later [after a re-read] or in response to a comment from the article.

As a more general reply to the article, I was fortunate enough to work with Prof. Oakley on her Coursera Class (https://class.coursera.org/learning-001/lecture, I'm the last guest interview at the bottom) and I really, really like her learning strategy.

Her article didn't use the exact phrase "deliberate practice" but I think that captures the essence of what she means by repetition. You need enough conceptual understanding to make sure you're following the path correctly, but then you want to practice -- at the edge of your comfort zone, with feedback, etc. -- to make sure it's really clicking.

It's really easy to fool yourself into thinking "I've got this" when it's untested. In my own case, I realized I didn't "get" imaginary numbers and exponents when I couldn't estimate a^b [a raised to the bth power] in my head with equal fluency for all numbers a and b. I had never really tested every type of number in every type of exponent position (base and power).

For example,

3^4 => this should be a positive real number greater than 1

3^(-4) => this should be a positive real number, very close to 0.

3^i => Hrm.

i^i => Uh oh.

I knew that unless I had fluency with all of these scenarios, I didn't truly "get" exponents or complex numbers. Sure, maybe I had a baby version where I could use them in well-defined ways, but I had a subconscious fear of i appearing as a base and/or exponent. I had to challenge myself and practice thinking through the various permutations before I recognized the gaps. Then I had to deepen my conceptual understanding, and practice again.

(For the previous questions, 3^i should be a complex number on the unit circle, maybe around 50 or 60 degrees, but less than 90, and i^i should be a real number, greater than 0 but less than 1. I can estimate these without calculating them, see http://betterexplained.com/articles/intuitive-understanding-... for more details.)

Again, thanks for the mention!
It's legit. Actually had a fraudulent charge on my Chase card today from a jail phone operator in a southern state.

Only have a couple of recurring bills with the card and don't generally use it at stores, so I'm pretty confident that it was due to the breach at Chase. My biggest concern is someone using the other information they stole to open accounts under my name.
No, MacPorts is actually more sane in this regard because it build it's own set of dependencies instead of relying on anything the system provides. This makes it a more soundly designed tool, IMO.

Homebrew also recommends using /usr/local as the root which I think is just plain bad advice, but it is simple enough to change it to something else.
A similar comment Joel Spolsky from years ago always stuck with me.

"... Even though I understand all the little bits, I can’t understand them fast enough to get the big picture. And the same thing happens in programming. If the basic concepts aren’t so easy that you don’t even have to think about them, you’re not going to get the big concepts."

Been re-reading Rhodes' book the last few weeks and it's spectacular, not to mention some great turns of phrase. I really wish someone would make a multi-part tv documentary based off his book. Just fascinating stuff.
I was part of the first Excelerate class with FeeFighters (acquired by Groupon in 2012) and was an EIR with TechStars Chicago a few summers ago.

I thought this post was well balanced and obviously everyone should make their own decisions based on their startup's particular situation...incubators, just like financing, are not a panacea that guarantee success.

Troy, Sam, Steve and all the folks involved in Techstars Chicago all do TS because they are extremely passionate about developing startups and building the types of outcomes YC has produced.

One of the stark realities of the Chicago startup ecosystem is the capital available to tech startups is really tiny compared to other places. As a startup founder, I've both raised money and failed at raising money...one of the biggest challenges of being a founder here are the sheer financing odds you have to beat which are necessary to even have a chance to achieve YC outcomes.

That's why 1871 looks the way it does- it's meant to attract entrepreneurs but it's also meant to attract money. It's a symbol of the growing tech community in Chicago and a way for potential investors who have not invested in tech previously to see tangible proof of a burgeoning ecosystem. That's the truth...while office space is cheaper in Chicago, 1871 provides the connections and "accelerated serendipity" early stage founders might need. Again- I worked out of there for a year and left because it was too distracting...it was the right place for the right phase of business.

When it comes to Troy, he is just about the most founder friendly person I know. I'm sure if the founder had spoken to Troy about his discomfort with the exploding LOI, I can't speak for Troy, but it's hard to imagine him not understanding.

I look forward to seeing the big outcomes- GiveForward, SpotHero, SimpleRelevance, SocialCrunch, etc. in the future.
Yeah, but they often rely on the homebrew being installed to /usr/local which is just plain bad advice.

At least, not using /usr/local myself, I see a lot of packages building because they have detected I changed the base directory.
The title (currently "The Quiet Zone: No wifi or cell phone service for 13,000 sq. miles") is inaccurate. There is cell phone service in a large part of that area. The radio quiet zone means there are restrictions on transmitters, but does not mean they are banned throughout the zone. In the vicinity of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory Site, the restrictions are a bit more strict, and there is no cell phone service. But the Southeast portion of the radio quiet zone has fairly good cell phone coverage.
I'm not sure what you're asking for here. Is it a problem for my theory that "intelligence kickbacks" isn't a category at:

https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/top.php?indexType=i&showYe...

These people are unaccountable ghosts; there's nothing to stop them from masquerading as anything from "retail" to "misc manufacturing" to "pharma". But back to your theory. What about "revenue producing" parts of the government (which is what, the IRS?) would cause them to loom larger in a politician's thinking than the sums of money recorded on the linked page?
Chip and Pin would prevent none of the leaks, it would prevent the usage of the stolen card numbers after the fact.
I am exactly the opposite and it certainly has nothing to do with fun or self-image. I can hop on to any Linux box and be just fine. But I'm comfortable in a familiar setting with my `~/bin`, aliases, editor (vim), keybindings, a few key-remappings and package manager (pacman). There's a lot of benefits that come from having precisely the same environment on my web server, home machine, laptop, media PCs and my machine at work.

I consistently look for ways to automate things. I do it not because I'm a tweaker for tweaking's sake, but because I find it insane to let myself be annoyed by tasks that I know I can automate away. (Then my brain can forget the details of the operation because it is enshrined in code and maybe even some documentation.) For me, it's an efficient way to work. Actually, that's a nice way to sum up how I work: how can I most effectively offload This Stuff I Know so I don't have to worry about it any more?

I am extremely uncomfortable on Macs or Windows machines. The solution is to just not use them. (We, as programmers, are fortunate to have some freedom here. For example, I would not take a job with someone who forced me to use OSX or Windows.)

To give you an idea of how far I'm willing to go: I wrote my own window manager. I spent years on that path. I got something working around late 2012 and haven't really touched the X11 world since. I had some really specific goals that I wanted to accomplish (support 3+ monitors correctly), and I did, and now I'm happier and more productive for it. Another plus: people using Go now have native X client libraries.

Another example: I wrote 8,000 lines of Go to download all of IMDb and load it into a relational database in under 8 minutes (including building trigram indexes on all movie, episode, tv show and actor names). And then I built a command line utility that does fuzzy search and can rename all of my media files instantly. Renaming them manually was terrible drudgery. (And I certainly enjoyed the engineering challenge of making this fast.)

Sorry for the banter. :-)
I don't agree.

I think it's typical for a middle-button click and/or control-left-click to open a link in a new tab. That's easy to do, and so we get to choose new tab or same tab ourselves, rather than having the website make the decision for us.

My habit with HN is to open a link by middle-clicking both the post link and the comments link. So I get both the post and its comments in side-by-side tabs. It's convenient for me, but people who just want to use a single tab can still do so.

I don't think we are in agreement either, that's why I qualified that statement with "If that is all you are saying". You said "Pain isn't fun, that's all I'm saying" and while I could tell that was not all you were saying, I was humoring you. I can most defiantly be bored while in pain. I have determined this experimentally. Many people I have talked to have clearly stated that they have been bored and in pain at the same time. You are the first person I have seen claim that they could not be bored and in pain at the same time. If that is true for you, then you are the only outlier in my (admittedly small) data set.

Your statement "You can't be bored and be in pain at the same time" is utterly ridiculous. According to Google, bored means "feeling weary because one is unoccupied or lacks interest in one's current activity". Pain does not hold my interest so it does not prevent me from lacking interest in my current activity.

Different people respond to pain differently. You are allowed to be different and given the small sample size available to me it is even possible that people like you are common. What I find annoying is you inability or unwillingness to understand that not everyone is you. Or perhaps you just don't know what "bored" means.
"That whitepaper is from 2012"

It's pointed to from their apple pay solution as to how it works?

"This is how things work in 2014: http://clover-developers.blogspot.com/2014/09/apple-pay.html
"

Again, I have not seen a single implementation that claims to actually perform token usage all the way back to the issuing bank, just some diagrams that say "it's supposed to work that way" in some magical world where issuing banks run token service.

(and i've looked at actual implementations).

If you look at the comments on the blog, the author actually agrees with what i said:
"Yes, the token is issued by the payment network, but Apple is not the payment network. The network would be Visa/MasterCard/AMEX. Apple receives the token from the payment network when the card is stored in Apple Pay (or Passport), then the token is provided each time a payment is made."

Note: Issued by the payment network. This is not the same as "bank who issued you the card". In fact, it's exactly the people I said it was (look at definition of payment network in the spec).

Also note: Apple sees the card to get the token to store in the wallet (it has to, unless the client directly understands how to route to an agent for a given card and connect there, which at least as apple has implemented, it doesn't). If you remember, above you said in an EMV world, only the issuer sees the real number. This is 100% false. Apple has no other way to get a token other than providing the PAN and letting an agent do ID & verification as part of a token request.

As I also said, the spec very specifically does not require anything else, delegating token service providing to agents.

Do you have anything to refute that issuing banks are going to be 100% compliant with the EMV tokenization spec (and apple pay) if they delegate the vault/lookup to someone else, like the payment processors?
(I pasted the definitions from the spec, it specifically says the card issuer or the agent can perform this )

How about if they delegate to multiple people?

How about if they delegate to stripe, or google, or whoever?

The tokens only go exactly as far as the parties agree they want them to.

Two parties still see your card in Apple Pay: Whoever initially asks for the token to store (Apple right now), and whoever is playing vault. Apple just doesn't store it.
I donated once, and all I get is spam and dramatic whining from the project author, begging for more donations, while major bugs go unfixed and progress is abysmal.
But what good are a bunch of card numbers if you're unable to use them due to not having the pin? Not sure you understood what I meant.
most of these are absurdly insane! What I think we should do is to let them be. Who really cares.
Using the middle-button click and/or control-left click open still works the same with the 'target="_blank"' specified so this wouldn't affect the way you do things anyway
But you've now significantly dropped your original odds because your person who wants to do damage now has to be willing and capable of serious violence.
I also upvoted yours :)

I think that their choices were sound business. However, you don't voice things that make other "industry players" look bad. This is ultimately a pretty small world and people in our industry tend to move around.

It just takes one guy from that VC to leave for another investor they might want in the future to blackball them. That is what I was trying to say.
I agree with you 100%. I bought a new mac book pro 2 weeks ago and it took me about 2 hours to get up and running.

Because OS X is linux based (BSD but the difference is not relevant here), a lot already exists to make these kind of things work out of the box.

Personally, I need two things to have my setup working:

- Homebrew (OS X only but it's a given to anyone used to ruby)

- dotfiles

My dotfiles are on github and git can be installed via homebrew. I am using vim so my setup depend on both homebrew (git) & dotfiles (settings/plugins).

I have no idea why I would need anything more than that to get started. But this is personal, your company needs may be different. But don't think you need some kind of automation, linux has powerful tools. Use them.
There's a goalposts-moving thing happening here. The claim in the post isn't simply that there was a time-limited offer made. The claim was that a complicated legal document was presented just before a weekend, with a demand that it be accepted or rejected by the following Monday.

I have no idea if that actually happened or not, but this thread isn't really addressing the claim in the post.
I tried your widget and I wouldn't really call that "custom" picture framing. If I was you, I wouldn't call custom picture framing a racket. Your suppliers won't be pleased to hear you belittle their passion. Your two examples demonstrate no understanding of color or form. It's like you folded an Origami crane and you're already calling Michelangelo a hack.

Here's a tip, the shape of the frame moulding can enhance the structure of the composition. You need a good eye for composition to see something like that. That's just one of many factors you would consider when choosing frames, mats, fillets, etc. Your Joey Roth print there would look better with a tapered frame. Even if you could represent a moulding in 3D, you need a professional designer to coordinate all the desires of the customer. Custom picture framing is a personal, intimate, complex business.

What was the actual information taken? How was the breach perpetrated? Two pretty big pieces of information we are missing. There may also be daily breaches that aren't significant enough to impact earnings that we never hear about.

No, we do not have any kind of transparency.

The second issue (where do I go?) can't be worked out at all until we have some idea of "where do I really not want to be?"

A bit melodramatic, wouldn't you say? We're out of touch with fire? Are you saying that had negative effects on our culture or something? And you seem to be saying that fire used to be thought of as good and sacred and now is thought of as destructive. That is completely baseless. Fire, like every other force known to man, has always been seen as two-sided.

The implication that you know the opinions of other people better than they do is more or less the same thing as phrasing your opinions as fact.

The system isn't broken, but rather...

Perhaps both propositions could be true? A system of government that brings out the worst in its citizens might not be the best one they could have.
You obviously do not work for a company like JP. Fear of jail is not the only motivator to address the gaps that led to this breach. There are likely hundreds of people there who are intensely motivated and now assigned to address this, driven by professionalism to work as quickly as possible.
Practically it's obviously impossible, people are gullible and easily manipulated, and politicians are expert at tugging their emotional strings.

Theoretically, I think a good first step would be to stop evaluating policies deontologically and start looking at results. There are so many laws in the books with good intentions but terrible outcomes, and they're all justified based on empathy and related emotional responses.
