Life is much more than a fight. Even life with cancer. Take a look at Steve Jobs. His "fight" wasn't publicized (likely because that's what he preferred), but he did accomplish things while also living with cancer that were publicized.

Shouldn't it be the same for others who live with cancer?
No, not everything is a state secret. Documents produced by the state and specifically marked as such are. And yes, stealing those documents and publicly sharing them is treason.

Perhaps treason that serves a higher good. Perhaps not. Reasonable people can disagree. But not need for the scare quotes.
Is your partner by any chance male? Nevertheless, I came all over myself when Steve Jobs died back in 2011, what a wonderful day. I'm really glad that he's gone, but apparently all those consumer slaves still exist.
>You were presenting a conspiracy theory.

Rewind to a decade ago and suggesting that "the government" was committing mass surveillance and spying on everyone would be considered a conspiracy theory. You'd be assigned to a mental ward if you suggested that several governments were working together on this spying.

Not to defend his theory - but I find negatively reacting to any "far-fetched" theories merely because they are theories is rather short sighted given the number of them that turn out to be true, or partially true.

That depends on how innovative your programming is. Let's take two examples of billionaire programmers: The Google Search guys and the Bitcoin guy. What you see is that they have never, ever asked anybody what problems they needed solved. They imagined something interesting and then they just built it. All preliminary forms of communication with other people would simply have been useless, because none of us knew that we needed Google Search until we saw it, and none of use would ever have believed that Bitcoin could work, until we saw it with our own eyes. In other words, if you are doing a truly innovative project, you should not communicate with people but simply ignore them until you are ready to show what you have built, simply because they will not be able to believe that it is possible to fly to the moon, until someone actually does it.
"Protect against hackers" I still feel bad when I see the word hackers used like that. Although words end meaning what the majority think they means, it feels wrong to see this usage in a Google website.
Not to defend Apple, but Google owns YouTube so it's not a stretch for Google to use YouTube. Not sure why Apple doesn't target a larger audience. It's free publicity.
Except that making vague accusations about large companies without evidence is possible more problematic than making them about people (which we get all the time now already). Companies can afford lawyers, and lawsuits for libel, even if not successful, will put a strain on a paper. If a paper is getting a double negative hit from an article, both in loss of reputation (if it has any left) and in legal fees in defending itself from libel, then it may be less willing to publish crap.

Of course, a well researched and written article will defend itself, and the last think a company that really has something to hide wants is to go to court when there's unflattering things that can be proven, not just reported.

How can you do Apple dev without a device to test on?
Not the GP but here is my answer.

NOTE1: spoiler alert.

NOTE2: please don't think of me as some heartless Objectivist - I have adjusted my views since I read it about 10 years ago but at the time, the following points were earth-shaking revelations to me:

* It revealed to me how influence peddlers in society use a combination of coercion and guilt to suppress an individual's individuality

* It revealed that these "thugs" are interested in suppressing your thoughts and controlling your money. I read this book during the Bush years and the suppression of speech in the name of "patriotism" rang true, while prior regimes' punitive taxation policies also rang true as meeting Rand's definition of thugs.

* She basically posits that an individual's greatest purpose of existence is to create and to do the best for themselves that they can.

Within the above kernels, which with moderation I feel are very powerful insights, are interspersed a lot of distractions. Her writing style is retch-inducing and her hatred of native people in continents that were abused by colonialism is bafflingly naive. My edition of the book had about 1100 pages, 100 or so of which were Galt's long speech - it was an endeavor to finish this book but I am happy to have learnt the above insights.

Apples "streaming" is just 10 second chunks of video shunted across a m3u playlist. Its not exactly proprietary in that regard.

Also its a developer conference, what are you hoping to see in the live stream that makes you absolutely need to watch it or just abandon using apple products all together? Honestly I can't tell if this is a joke or not anymore on the internet. But I generally don't go into the google dev threads and just gripe about google, ditto microsoft.

Why the hell do we get this much uninformed junk comments on apple threads? Its getting to the point that I think most "social site junk" is really not worth the bother with all the same boring never going to change comments every time.
It depends on what you mean by "culture fit": is from the same social culture (watches the same tv shows, enjoys the same activities etc.) or professional culture (dress code, communication style, etc.).

The former is clearly ripe for abuse, the latter is more legitimate (though also a place to tread carefully).
Yeah, that part of the article I feel is off. I've never been on a retreat but I do sit. It's definitely an experience that I think people should try, but it doesn't really bear any resemblance to a trip (at least for me). It's more like turning a magnifying glass on how I make thoughts.

It really should just be a configuration option.

I don't think CRLs usually are, under current infrastructure anyway.

How can you verify the certificate of the server when it's signed by the certificate you want to fetch; or check that it hasn't been revoked when what you're connecting to is its own CRL/OCSP? What about the risk of infinite loops?

Cross-signatures, or multi-signatures, perhaps; or going opportunistic and simply not minding on that occasion?

Nope, for now they just use HTTP, and pin what they need to, to the fingerprint.

They should, however, specify an SHA-256 fingerprint. SHA-1 doesn't really cut it anymore. But that's what Mozilla currently require, so that's what Amazon provided. https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:Information_checklist

If I was doing sensitive stuff, I wouldn't expect Google to protect me from anything in which the US has economic or intelligence interests.

I think these products are meant for journos and NGO workers who want some level of protection without knowing much about what they are doing.

The way I see it from under my tinfoil hat, is that this is a bit of protection paid for by making your work instantly indexed and searchable by the US for various purposes.
Start with 5 sets of 5 reps on these lifts:

Monday: Squat, Bench Press, Barbell Row

Wed: Deadlift, Upper Press, Pullups

Friday: Squat, Inclined Bench Press, Cable Face Pulls (or another pulling exercise)

Do this for a month and don't worry about how heavy the weight is for a couple weeks, starting with just the barbell. Focus on form (YouTube!) and getting used to the motions.

Go slow. Don't push yourself until you feel comfortable. You can start with negatives or assisted pullups. Hitting a big compound movement (squat/deadlift), a push and a pull is a great rounded way to start lifting.
I made some of the kids I coach do these. They hated me for it, so it must be a good workout. :)
Fair point, but in that case free/open source is irrelevant: one could equally well build a closed-source app without a ToS, or an open source app with one.

Apple use HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) to broadcast live events. This is an entirely open standard. Indeed, it's super-simple to implement and use. AFAIK they submitted it as an Internet Draft, but I'm not sure it's gone anywhere.

HTTP Live Streaming is supported by more than just Apple devices – it'll work with recent Android devices too, and with VLC / other media players. I wouldn't expect Apple to certify the compatibility of the stream with other devices – sure, it might work, but would you expect them to explain the full gamut of software which might potentially be able to view the stream?

People get awfully worked up about this sort of thing without taking a small step back and thinking about it for a minute. This is not a horrible "let's ignore non-Apple users" conspiracy. It's just explaining the system requirements that Apple is targeting to the expected audience – basically all of whom will be using an Apple device.

Sports injury stats per 100 participant hours in school sports: Powerlifting (USA) 0.0027, Weightlifting (UK) 0.0017 [1]

Among elite competitive weightlifters: Injury rates for
the subset of resident athletes at the USOTC were 3.3 injuries (most frequent were tendonitis and muscle strains) per 1000 weightlifting training hours. [2]

"[It's reported that] weightlifting (is) one of the safest sports with 0.0017 injuries per 100,000 hours of participation" [3]

I've been powerlifting for 6 years, was competitive for three of those years, and am friends with and know at least a hundred serious, amateur, competitive powerlifters and weightlifters. My anecdote, with that background in mind, is that I have only seen or heard of injuries happening when people IGNORE their body telling them to stop. So they either put too much weight on the bar, KNOW that it's too heavy for them, and then push through anyway, or they let their ego get in the way and are trying to show off and screw around (this is far more common than the first scenario).

The thing with free weights of any kind is that it's only as dangerous as you make it. YOU are in control of your form, you are in control of how much weight you use, you are in control of the bar path, and you can take it as slow as you want.

Yeah, I had a friend that did the most intense kettlebell workouts fairly frequently. I was surprised at how small his gains were compared to traditional weightlifting methods.
I stand corrected about the name.

Here's an honest summary of what I think:

I find it very easy to see the importance of a serious general-purpose overlay network, since I think that's the future of the Internet, so much so that I think something like Urbit will make IPv6 irrelevant. I'm philosophically inclined to appreciate that work.

I find that the programming model you've attached to it --- the Nock/Hoon stuff --- makes it easy to dismiss the work. I think you winkingly acknowledge and encourage that (for instance: the new pronunciation of ASCII characters), but don't really know why.

The combination of relentless idiosyncrasy, world-building ambition, and your many tens of thousands of words of (to me) odious philosophical writing leaves me in a place where I can empathize with the dilemma you'd post to a conference organizer. Your defenders on this thread seem to take it as an axiom that you'd just get up on stage, explain why you decided to code in line noise instead of Lisp, and talk about our beautiful overlay network future. I'd like to see that talk, too. But I don't think that's actually an axiom. It's seems just as likely that you'd use your network design as a launching point for a 5 minute digression on the evils of democracy.

Later: I just want to be clear that I'm writing for the thread, not directly to you. I don't know which if any of these points you even disagree with.

administration system and replace TotalSource

Heh, guess not (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9679312)
There will always be programmers. It's just a matter of whether said programmers will be electronic or biological :)

If AI ends up replacing most programming tasks, then our jobs will likely shift to something more akin to AI-centric psychology mixed with high-level software engineering. Much like how only the most hardcore "Real Programmers(TM)" today write their programs in assembly or machine code in this day and age of optimizing compilers and interpreted/JIT'd languages, only the most hardcore "Real Programmers(TM)" of the future will actually write software from scratch, with most programmers instead opting to give their AIs descriptions of what they want their programs to do like how we give compilers or interpreters source code files today.

I expect that there'll be a heavy emphasis on TDD/BDD in such a future; you'd write a specification or (inclusively) a suite of integration tests, and your artificially-intelligent program-maker will create software that meets the specifications provided and satisfies the provided tests.

Whether or not these will be "programmers" in the traditional sense is a bit fuzzy; it's conceivable that - someday - non-technical pointy-haired-boss types could come up with specifications if AI-driven software-building tools can sufficiently understand natural languages. At that point, though, it's fuzzy whether or not PHBs will exist, or whether humanity will exist (or AIs, if a Dune-Butlerian-Jihad-style anti-computer revolution manages to happen).
My Wii remote worked fine on Eneloop batteries.

For regular alkaline batteries, Nintendo says 60 hours lifetime using just the accelerometer, and 25 hours using both accelerometer and pointer. That's not very long for a kid that's seriously into a game.

Is it possible that you are also going through non-rechargeable batteries reasonably fast, but don't notice because, say, the kids can change those without your involvement, but with rechargeable batteries you are the one who handled recharging so saw every battery swap?

Another thing to watch out for is that alkaline and NiMH have very different discharge curves. Alkaline starts at 1.5, then falls steeply to around 1.3-1.4, then drops at a more gentle rate down to around 1.1, and then plummets.

NiMH starts at around 1.3, drops to 1.2, and then stays close to level until near the end, then starts dropping faster for a bit, then goes over a cliff.

If a device was not designed specifically to allow for NiMH, it is going to assume a discharge curve that follows the alkaline profile. When it uses voltage to estimate how much battery life is left, it is going to get confused by the NiMH curve.

If you put fresh NiMH batteries in a device, use it a while, and check the battery level, it will be reported as much lower then it really is. This can fool people into replacing the batteries early, because they figure it is falling fast and they don't have much time left.

I had one device where it would report not long after I put fresh batteries in that it was down to 60%, and if alkaline had fallen to 60% that fast, it would be time to put new batteries on my shopping list...but in reality with the NiMH it would actually stay at about 60% for weeks.
> costing a fortune.

The problem is not the SSL certificate, the problem is the IP address. That will no longer be a problem as soon as IPv6 takes hold in a few years, I give it about 3. They currently have to deploy the SSL certificate to over 30 different IPs hence it costing the immense amount. The certificate can be had for $10.
Google live streams using Flash and doesn't support the open standard HTTP Live Streaming spec. So, it's really a bit weird. Apple is more open in this case, but not many things support the open standard (specifically: Chrome).
> 1. If this was such a great idea, why is it not built into the equipment? (because it represents a risk to the equipment)

Because pennies add up when making millions of units, and the TCO including batteries isn't a point of competition. Still, it would obviously be more efficient to run a larger boost converter on 4 cells in series rather than multiple tiny energy-harvesting ones.

I've also got to wonder about the standby power of this device. IR remotes are on very little and last for years with the right battery, so any additional draw is going to greatly reduce their lives. And like you said, high draw devices are changed regularly so recharageables make more sense.

IMHO products like this aren't really about the tech and appeal to a large audience for their simplicity, not their efficacy.
As a side (and anecdotal) note, you still can have bad form while walking due to previous injuries or bad posture. So if you experience lower back pain while walking (as I have in the past) check some videos on good walking technique on youtube or consult with an expert.
The boring answer is that as long as you are making money, you can donate some to charity.

Making lots of money and donating it to an effective charity is usually a more efficient way to change the world for the better than choosing a sub-optimal career trying to change the world by yourself.
