I have a regular skateboard -- a Real lowpro with 149mm indie trucks and 56 Bones ATF wheels. I also have a hybrid (in between skate/long) board that might appeal to you. The hybrid is a "Bustin' Yoface 35". I run 65mm wheels on the yoface -- it's really like a big skateboard. I also like these for hybrids: http://cometskateboards.com/. The Shred 33 or 35...

The short deck is really fun and maneuverable, but much more limited where I can ride it. If I'm not running the ATF wheels or ("OJs"), I'm likely to fall over if I hit a little pebble. That happens, say, if I'm running bones STFs, which I know a lot of 'street' skaters use with no problem. It's a skill thing and I think a weight thing.

Also, the bones hardcore bushings are great. You can also mix in say venom downhill bushings boardside to give it a different feel. I've done this, but had to get a baseplate with a longer kingpin to fit the taller bushing. It didn't really look taller, but really small differences in size seem to matter a lot.

Obviously, the skate thing can get pretty gear-heady. Not least of which because very small tweaks can have a really big impact on how it all feels and whether it's fun. At first, I tried a bunch of stuff, but now I've settled in to 2 setups for now (the real and the yoface).

But your original question: "wheels" -- I like between 56mm and 65mm (If I can fit them on the board). Kind of the biggest I can fit on the board without wheelbite. I like softer wheels as the help with pebbles and my skills aren't such that I find them limiting yet.

I hope some of that helps -- it was pretty stream of consiousness :)

vim. I used to be an emacs user, for years, but I found that vim was actually easier for common operations. (I barely use advanced vi/vim features; the most complicated thing I frequently do in vim is use replacements on selections. Doing the same thing is almost certainly possible in emacs, but I have no idea where to even start in figuring out how.)

But of course, nobody's going to hue-and-cry or place travel bans to California until they pass legislation to prevent political discrimination. Tim Cook isn't about to issue a statement condemning this discriminatory practice that affects livelihoods rather than just purchasing options.

Because what's euphemized as "tolerance" these days is really just "picking the right targets."
Like everyone says, exercise.

Eliminating the friction completely is what will allow you to rise above your current state, as it did for me.

The alternative that finally allowed me to rise above my long-time regular state was at-home, short, but intense exercise. I do pushups. No need to go to the gym. There is nothing to prepare. It's literally an instantaneous start. And it takes very little time out of my schedule.

The problem most people have with exercising is that they decide to change and try it for a bit but the effort is too great and they relapse to the base state. Going to the gym takes time and planning, and if you do get there, you don't do it right. I know I didn't. Half-assed effort at the various machines to hit the major muscle groups, then go home. We all know we should take a notebook to the gym and track progress to force ourselves to push the boundaries, but how many people actually do that? I never brought a notebook to the gym in my life. For a short while, I tried an app instead. Poor design, too much hassle, no good alternatives.

Some of the great things about a pushups-only workout:

- no friction to start (eg: trip to gym, clothing, schedule)

- super short (10 to 20 minutes every other day)

- develops a great-looking upper body and abs

- works a crazy number of muscles (pushups incorporate planking)

- having a notebook to track progress is no hassle since you're at home

- keeps the abs tight, not allowing food extra room to linger in your intestines

In terms of tracking progress, I came across hundredpushups.com. No, they don't try to sell you anything. They just provide an excellent exercise schedule and the goal is to be able to crank out a hundred pushups by the end of the schedule. Sounds ambitious but it's not really. Their schedule forces you to be laser focused on one thing: cranking out some extra pushups every session. The progress that results from such intense focus is amazing. For some numbers: I used to do about 30 pushups at any given point in life before this. My latest max is 85 pushups straight. I can do 200 pushups in about 10 or 12 minutes with 60 second breaks in between. I can get behind a program that involves only 10 minutes every other day with phenomenal results!

While pushups aren't for everyone, try to figure out a workout that:

takes very little time

is intense

doesn't require travel or preparation
You also need to scrub the existing site for content embedded with HTTP links, because active mixed content is blocked by default in Firefox and Chrome (as it should be).

We did our first site HTTPS-only the exact way you describe, but didn't anticipate half our embedded content disappearing. The situation is getting better fast, but even a year ago a number of pretty well-known services like Scribd and Storify didn't fully work over HTTPS.

Video is the worst; every TV network has its own embeddable video player, and most of them did not work at all over HTTPS until very recently. Again, that's getting better pretty fast.

You're right but I would not be surprised if they sold even if there were plenty. I don't understand the luxury market but it is fascinating that things like this do sell.
I don't think that's going to happen. GV has been around since 2009 - I got my number then and it's been great. This is not Reader - several million people and businesses have GV numbers. Of course it can happen, and there may be other reasons you might not want Google to handle your phone calls, but I estimate the probability of Google just shutting this down as pretty small.
Except for special occasions:

I agree with much of the paleo, keto, weight lifting and meditation submissions on here. I would add that I think there isn't much better for you than saturated and monounsaturated fat and that there isn't much worse for you than "vegetable" (industrial seed) oils because of their high (especially omega-6) polyunsaturated fat content.

Two books I would really recommend are "Perfect Health Diet" by the Jaminets and "The Paleo Manifesto" by John Durant. "The Paleo Manifesto" is a 30,000ft view of health from an ancestral perspective. The "Perfect Health Diet" delves into the chemistry of metabolism and is very interesting in it's own right if you're into that kind of thing.

To my understanding this is quite an open issue, and it's hard to find a company that would want to risk it in court. ZFS on Linux project currently distributes the modules as source, and they are built for particular kernel locally in any machine that needs the modules. This is the same approach as GPU vendors do with their closed source graphics drivers.
I started doing P90X about 3.5 years ago. It's been a lifestyle change where I've made a commitment that I will work out 5 days a week (rest on the weekends) and I don't let anything else get in the way of this. I'm flexible as to when this happens - but I WILL work out for 1 hour every day!

Also I started Testosterone Replacement Therapy. This has been amazing! Whereas I had no energy after work and no interest in sex, it changed within a week after my testosterone went from 311 ng/dl to 1100 ng/dl. (And my wife was thrilled!) Furthermore because of the workout routine, I have gained 10 pounds of muscle and lost 5 pounds of fat - and have the DEXA scans to prove it. (This is after the first 3 years of P90X and having lost 45 pounds, so these gains in muscle and loss of fat was a bit of a pleasant surprise.) My strength is greater than it was in highschool. My energy level is higher, but not at the highschool level - but close.
I wasn't sure whether to count perl. Ten years ago, I'd say perl fell into the same category as PHP and Java -- a large user base, many of whom dislike it. But, it's transitioning toward being a language of the past.

I agree with you that the problem is self-inflicted (and MLB is a pretty frivolous example), but that doesn't mean we don't need help. Asking people to manage their notification settings is asking them to think harder than apps ever do.

Especially the various ways that apps use or abuse the privilege, it's hard to make a decision as to whether push notifications for this app are worth it. I often press "Yes" to get an idea of the impact, and if the app proves annoying, then I turn them off.

Well said! Fantastic advice.

I have been in the same spot a number of times, particularly early in my career. It is best to be honourable, kind, and a bigger person. Once there was a company that I really just wanted to tell off and walk out. But after giving my two weeks notice, despite being ridiculed and mocked, I kept my cool, finished my work and documentation, and left.

Years later I was doing some hiring for my own business and a resume came across my desk, the lead ridiculer from this previous job. I gave him my standard interview, only lightly touching on the fact that at one point he had been my bosses boss. The look on his face when he first saw me was worth every fake smile I had ever given him. He completed the interview, passed, and rejected my offer. I have never felt bad about my interactions with him or that company... but I think he did.

This isn't the proper medium for your complaint. Maybe it'll be resolved somewhat faster but the way you did it wasn't right.
It really helps to do it in small steps. It is really hard to try to do everything at once.

My first step was to be more active. I take breaks at work and I spend my entire 1 hour lunch walking around outside. Lately, I've been doing speed-walking and a bit of running too now that weather is getting nicer.

Once I got into that habit of moving more, I started looking at my diet and changed a few things around. Started by making my meals smaller. Then I took off the extra calories in meals like cheeses and such.

Next step I hit the local rec center and be active there. Swimming is great workout and quite relaxing. They even have a small gym so I can hit the weights. Once I hit the weighs, it wasn't long until I started to see muscle composition change. At the gym, I completely ignore the cardio stuff. Cardio stuff I can do elsewhere. So I hit the machines and weights. Before hitting the gym though, I started taking pre-workout supplements like C4 Extreme, it really helps with the energy levels especially after work.

After about a year, this has grown up me in such a way that it's like a second nature to do these things and I feel weird if I do miss a day.

Your milage may vary and may not be recommended for everyone. But, the only way I was able to pull this off is by starting with small steps.

This goes for pretty much everything else in life :)
They can surely force by legal means Apple to give you the wrong key for a recipient, thereby defeating the end-to-end protection.

This is the danger of the new wave of security tools that want to "solve" the hard problems (such as key verification) of secure messaging. The hard problems are still there, they're usually just bypassed by centralising trust, which creates a very tempting target for government legal pressure.
I second this greatly. I have only taken it up recently and am left wondering why I did not do it MUCH earlier.

The most astonishing thing for me was the amount of energy I got from it. I used to be quite apathetic during the day, with intense sleepiness in the early afternoons, and now I feel awake during the day. I cannot overstate how beneficial this is
While this makes for a great piece of speculative fiction; I think you underestimate the violence that the powers that be are willing to deploy to defend the present arrangement.
I think it's a great start. One thing I would recommend is supplementing the pushups with pullups or some type of exercise that would help balance out the push movement.
> Why strength? Strength is the most generalized adaptation there is. Training to be strong improves every component of fitness: strength (duh), power, agility, balance, flexibility, endurance (all 3 types) and coordination

> People may have different fitness goals, but for someone who is untrained by far the best thing they can do is a strength program for 3-5 months before training more specifically for their goals

I mostly agree with this, though if endurance is your long term goal you'll need to train very differently after the 3-5 months base period. SS is high-intensity activity with eye-popping heart rates, for a few hours a week. Endurance is long hours of low-intensity activity, marathons and the like. I train for mountaineering/alpinism and the weightlifting component is very different: 7-10 reps per set at low weight and minimizing mass accumulation while maximizing recruitment of existing muscle. You can very well have too much mass while climbing.
Sure, though lyft may well ban you for life.

The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that privacy, as we currently know it, is a short lived phenomenon due to increased anonymity of large masses of people without the corresponding technology to accurately track information coming from them. The hundred person village of the past had little anonymity. The teeming metropoli of the future will have little as well. Privacy is information, and information moves towards more access, not less. As much as it pains me to admit it, there are parallels between privacy/surveillance and patents, copyrights and DRM, but the the roles are often reversed.

That not to say it's all bad, there are some possible upsides to a world with less privacy. For example, with the lack of any expectation of privacy for vast swaths of the average day, we may see a shift to people aligning their beliefs and actions, and that may be made easier by a shift in some of the less tolerant beliefs. This would by no means be a guaranteed, it would take work.

In the end though, I think whether privacy is somehow protected or not, one of the most important things we can do is make sure we are informed of, and inform the public of, what's likely and what's possible to have intercepted by surveillance. No matter the outcome, that's useful information for everyone to have, so they can act accordingly.
At worst you'll have to transfer your number to some other service. While I wouldn't be shocked by Google shutting down Voice, I would be shocked if it just abruptly vanished one day with no warning.

Just because something happens doesn't mean it's not morally reprehensible. Where does your cynical and tired "everyone with power is evil I just read the prince for the first time" attitude get you? The only result I see is a dismissal of concerns for the welfare of our society and culture and an excuse for ignoring any and all injustice because "that's the way the world is", i.e. complacency and tacit acceptance. You can be a student of history and unsurprised but no less outraged when these events transpire; outrage reinforces in our society the cultural belief the action is _not acceptable_. When we lose the outrage, we provide the actions with tacit support as the new norm. What exactly are you proposing instead?

It's always been a matter of opinion. Most people don't take conversational prose literally and argue against it as if it was a fact that needed refuting.

For example, it is your opinion that C++ argument-passing is more complex; it is mine that it is more explicit and easier to reason about. Notice how I don't take your claim and call it a fact and write pages about how you must back up your claim with some more evidence before I'll buy it.
One of my recent favorite libraries lately is DynamicData [1] which is Rx for collections. It allows you to use LINQ operators to create lots of different collections from a single "observable cache". An example from the github page:

var list = new ObservableCollectionExtended<TradeProxy>();
var myoperation = somedynamicdatasource
.Filter(trade=>trade.Status == TradeStatus.Live)
.Transform(trade => new TradeProxy(trade))
.Sort(SortExpressionComparer<TradeProxy>.Descending(t => t.Timestamp))
.ObserveOnDispatcher()
.Bind(list)
.DisposeMany()
.Subscribe()

This takes the collection at somedynamicdatasource, transforms the contents to TradeProxy objects, sorts it, and binds it to list. Any time that an object is added or removed in somedynamicdatasource, list will be updated to match. This library has over 50 operators including dynamic filters (changing the filter causes the bound collection to be reevaluated), boolean operators (only update the resulting collection if the object is in both source collections or only one), etc.

I understand your point, and I wish I could also find it hard to believe. But there is nothing in the article to suggest that the system is not working as intended. Of course they knew that phone numbers change hands, yet they designed their system to let the number act as both identification and authentication, knowing that it would lead to a certain number of fraudulent charges.

One should be careful not to live in or spread in paranoia where everything is a plot to deceive. For anyone looking at the source material and judging reasonably, there was no deception. Perhaps some journalists got a little carried away, but I'd blame that on the pressures of their industry, not malice.

The original DEA slide that was leaked says something very simple: traditional interception techniques do not work on end-to-end encrypted message services (e.g. iMessage). They can't just ask (or get a judge to ask) a law-enforcement-friendly cellular provider to tap the line and CC them on anything someone does. This is true for BBM and WebRTC and many other ways of communicating, as well.
