I have no problem with people using whatever they want to train --- or even race at non-competitive levels.

I think it's "unreasonable" in that it's difficult to argue from first principles, but it's an extremely pragmatic position. If you look at what's happened to the sport and discussions around competition, recor

I don't know how to draw the line. It's a good question.

by bo1024 7y ago
I don't have a good answer but I feel strongly there is a difference of kind here, not just degree. But I would say as far as the 'easy math', people at that level train years to drop 30 seconds. So I think you're being

I'm just suggesting we keep the status quo as it was up till 2015ish. Plenty of room for sponsorship by shoe companies and others.

Different shoes are fine by me in all aspects, as long as they don't try to store and return kinetic energy.

A lot of people with tech backgrounds seem pretty pro-Vaporfly. As a (former?) competitive runner you might find my anti-Vaporfly perspective interesting. To me, running is a non-mechanically-aided sport. The moment a shoe attempts to store

I think Black Swan is much, much better.

Not common that you see a philosophy more radical than Stallman's. As I understand Stallman's free software philosophy -- the GPL -- the idea is that code must respect the person running it / using it. Under this philosophy,

Thanks! What are alternatives to computational notebooks (for the same tasks) and how do they compare?

Wow, great article.

It sounds like you're using autocomplete as a substitute for a tool you'd like, but doesn't exist.

Thanks for your comments, just want to discuss one piece: > However, as with lots of data analysis, their personal information alone means almost nothing. I think this is not true because of fingerprinting -- sites and services want to

This setup goes back at least to Axelrod 1984. Not sure what the link is to any of Taleb's ideas.

This could end up being a really interesting precedent in film (not in a way I like, personally). akersten writes farther down: > We're going to wind up in some terrible place where if you pre-order your movie ticket you can see th

Thanks for the reply. I've seen that site but it seems to be aimed at people who don't offer any https at all. At this point I'm still more comfortable offering visitors the decision. (Not many people visit my site by the way

Maybe I’m wrong, but I feel SSL has a downside of relying on more centralization. If a visitor to my totally-static webpage wants to bypass that layer and request the http version directly, I’m going to let them. (Obviously not excited abou

Sure but there is a huge space for government intervention -- it could encourage the competition and level the playing field instead. Doctorow (for example) argues a better approach is to require things like open standards and interoperabil

Wow: > 1. Much work in AI has the ``look ma, no hands'' disease. Someone programs a computer to do something no computer has done before and writes a paper pointing out that the computer did it. The paper is not directed to the

I wouldn't rule it out but I don't know how to. I guess you would need a keyboard connected via USB to be able to input in that scenario

Got mine yesterday, posted a top-level comment. It's definitely at a prototype stage, but the hardware seems awesome and high-quality, looking forward to more apps being developed!

Remember these were and are offered as part of a fundraising effort to be able to develop the phones. So I think those prices are targeted at people who want to make a serious donation to the cause as well as getting the hardware.

That’s exactly what gets me about Tesla. This is a truck you will probably never be able to repair yourself or at local shops (for software reasons alone) and is totally dependent on Tesla’s attention span and staying in business to hold it

In this case the main story is the video, not the article. The article is mostly third-person but in the video Mary Cain speaks out directly.

I don't really see your perspective or premise here -- not sure what you're arguing against. I don't think the interview (or production, or whatever it is) is trying to make broad strokes across the "women's movemen

This is more or less true but you have to draw the causal diagram carefully. Everyone has an optimal weight for them (oversimplifying). The best in the world tend to be very effective at very low weights. E.g. say 114 lbs at 5’7 for the sak
