"..coming from people who never met the guy" They clearly show that the statement from vor_ which I quoted is incorrect.

So, like sport, but without the exercise? Actually I agree with you about the mental side having some benefits, but I just don't see any specific benefit from the violence. Like you say, any other video game could provide the same.

This is a common argument against activism and it's a classic logical fallacy. You're doing X, but Y would be more effective, therefore X is pointless. In reality what happens is that someone does X and someone else does Y, and it's not u

Oh please, like the way Schwartz or Manning were treated are the only two options? If you don't think Heymann sees this as a win then you're beyond naive.

The prosecutors were told he was a suicide risk. “The thing that galls me is that I told Heymann the kid was a suicide risk,” Good told me. “His reaction was a standard reaction in that office, not unique to Steve. He said, ‘Fine, we’ll lo

I don't see any of those as being correct tbh. Wrong - morally not, legally maybe. JSTOR backing out - MIT didn't back out. An example is justified - absolutely not, given that the act is not morally wrong. Aaron won't serve serious time -

"if you don't have all 'the facts available' you can give someone the benefit of of the doubt" is pretty solid advice though.

Heart rate variability requires more accurate measurement than a simple pulse measurement. I believe that some of the (older?) consumer heart rate monitors can't do HRV, so it'd be surprising if the iPhone camera hack could measure it relia

The studies so far don't seem to have been conclusive either way. What we have so far though should be enough to cause concern. http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/news/releases/... FWIW I personally enjoy first person shooters,

Never seen these problems with Australian notes either, if anything they seem much more durable than paper notes. And you can take them to the beach.

Quote and use screengrabs or short clips sure. 100% of your 'commentary' is composed of the original material, questionable imo.

Well maybe, but I don't see why that gives the author the right to use someone else's work.

What's wrong with plain old writing? No reason to use any of the work at all imo. Video editing takes an insane amount of time in my experience.

Exactly. If you run into something beyond the docs in Backbone you can just step through the code and see what's happening. It seems to do just enough without drowning you in "other people's code".

There obviously is a trade-off between the strength of the language and the number of people who will click through. The messages are accurate, Twitpic was unfortunately a distributor of malware. Here's a copy and paste of the current detai

it might be better if the message said something like "The site appears to be infected with malware.This warning will be remain in place until the malware has been removed." That's what you suggested, seems pretty mealy-mouthed to me.

by analog 14y ago
Rubbish. The trade-off in this case is that a more mealy-mouthed warning would lead to more people clicking through.

What would you'd reckon the accuracy of the algorithms are? I'd have thought the numbers probably justify the language. Security is a tradeoff, if you do business on the web, deal with it.

In the US libel requires a statement to have been made with malicious intent. Quite simply, this is in no way libel, nor should it be. I'll take occasional minor shortlived inconveniences over security breaches anyday.

"I think you'll find it's not even close." Fairly similar for me actually, my heart rate goes pretty high when I'm lifting. When people say healthy weight surely they always mean healthy body fat percentage?

I've no doubt at all that you're significantly stronger, but not all of that 40 extra pounds is going to be muscle. You might want to reduce the amount you're eating now so that you don't have to eat at a deficit for so long later.

Higher reps for hypertrophy is around 8-12 I believe, not 50+. The problem with reps at that level for me personally is that its very difficult to know where your limit is. With failure around 5 reps it's very obvious which is your last pos

Absolutely. It's amazing how time-efficient resistance training is. Strength training in particular where you're using the higher weights and lower reps.

Being 'little-girl weak' after some time following a regime at a commercial gym sort of is evidence. And squatting 40lbs definitely is little-girl weak.

Focussing on good form and slowly increasing the weight are the ways to minimize injuries, whether you're young or old. Take a video with your phone and either check your form yourself or ask online for a form check.

No, they're actually technical terms. Tax avoidance is minimising your tax liabilities through legal means. Tax evasion is just not paying, not declaring, all sorts of fraud etc.

"Minimisation and avoidance are of course different" Minimisation is avoidance surely? It's tax evasion that's illegal. Any legal means of reducing your tax bill is avoidance.
