I agree with your point. In fact I think it's even stronger as I don't think 10 miles on a bike is anywhere close to 600kcal unless we are talking very serious hills on a MTB. 10 miles on a flattish road is usually half an hour of

It's hard to say a novel you can write or a computer program is "out there" for everyone to find though. I find this argument very compelling against patents but not against copyright in general.

My idea to improve the issue is the following: an app asks for permissions and you as a user get two choices: grant the permission or grant mock permission. Mock permission gives access to some random data that like stock contacts/sto

Extend it to every professional sport. Cycling was one which tried doing something about the problem and paid a heavy price in popularity, funding and public perception. Other major sports won't repeat this mistake. Soccer for example

It's true that punishment as in: "I am going to do unpleasant things to you because you misbehaved" isn't very effective. What works is enforcing consequences of actions: "the rules of this trip are such, it's

My beef with this kind of verdicts is that the perpetrators are not punished. The company pays reasonable compensation/damages to the plantiff. The managers who ignored his requests and caused the whole mess go along with their lives w

The point is that CCA is not applicable to one time pad. All you're saying is that OTP is not secure if you know the key. It doesn't matter what terms you use to describe it. It just doesn't mean anything beyond that.

It wasn't without a reason. He was cheating, some pressure appeared, he cheated more, more pressure was applied. He still continued cheating to get his name at the top of world records - even more pressure. He still refused to admit th

Drones are still expensive. There is an easier way though, just run with a GPS watch provided by someone else. That's what an honest runner with results too hard to believe would do. "Ok guys, I get why you don't believe my r

Why was it awful? It seems it's the only thing that could stop cheating. It's a good example of social pressure working as intended. He got a lot of chances to stop it along the way but he continued to cheat even after multiple ba

Man, Dr. Meza was an obvious chatear who refused to stop. He could have silenced it all by running with a GPS way before it snowballed to what you call harassment. He deserved to have his reputation ruined. You're just blaming victims

Some 4chan forums are completely hopeless (/pol for example) but on others you can find a lot of interesting stuff. As a general rule: as long as it's not politics the discussion is often interesting but then again, it's the

A lot of comments focus on how he was "harassed to death". I see it differently. He cheated, didn't admit it when caught, continued to compete and cheat. This is a common situation. You either lose your reputation or continue

As someone who was born under de-facto Soviet occupation, almost 40 years after the end of WWII may I suggest you go stuff yourself with your suggestions? Suggesting that "it's never an issue for them" is just ignorance of th

You're operating under an assumption that Putin will only use nuclear power if we cross some imaginary line. We analyze agreements, fine print, war conventions. Those things don't matter to him. If he feels he is losing this war h

You can't always take a step back in response to bullying. Millions will die, let's give him Ukraine. Millions will die let's give him Latvia and Finland. Millions will die, maybe half of Poland and he calms down... Millions

That's too naive. How can you try be logical and diplomatic when you know you're building dependent relationship with a dictator who already had several wars under his belt. I mean, it was opportunistic, cheap gas is nice and Germ

Isn't oil price increasing good for Russia though? Their oil isn't as cheap to extract so price increasing multiplies their profit very significantly if they can find a buyer.

It's not idiotic. They are just friends with Putin. Just see where their former top officials are employed, how they torpedoed the Norway-Poland pipeline and how they were pushing Nordstream 2 even though everyone told them it will des

I am tired of the HIIT nonsense. When it comes to cardiovascular fitness it's not even remotely enough to throw a HIIT session here and there. It's not enough to rely on intensity alone. You need volume and volume before everythin

I would like to see some answers on this one. First, why are we adjusting for lean body mass? I mean if you're 120kg with 50kg of extra fat you will obviously burn more calories by carrying that around. Someone who doesn't have ad

Most people watch tv for 4-5 hours per day and it's far from the only time waster out there. Something went wrong when very moderate volume of exercise (1 hour per day) is seen as a huge time commitment.

Are you sure about those numbers? Running is about 1kcal/km/kg of body weight. For cycling to be 5x as efficient you would only need 14kcal/km for 70kg man. I don't think it's realistic. The numbers I've seen a

It's like saying that more aluminum you own the more you have an interest in ensuring no manipulation. Same for oil. No idea what praxeology says about it but it's definitely not what happens in the real world.

How fast your sprint is a function how much backward force there is. You don't drive "down", you drive back. Try driving down and you will see it's impossible to do with any kind of force without the heel touching the gr

I watched a lot of footage of Olympic runners, all seem to have fore/mid foot strike. Can you share some names of elite heel striking runners?

I am curious, any names of heel striking elite runners? I would love to see the footage.
