The idea is that by spending a few minutes with your card, someone can now clone it and impersonate you. Yes, they could already steal your card, but you might notice that. But if you leave it on your desk for a few minutes in your wallet,

Fascinating. I have ADHD and the “distraction” meant I could read it super fast and understand it with no issues. This sounds fun to try side by side.

Now I’m too verbose? Walking around saying “the sky is always black” just because it’s nighttime is short and pithy, but untrue. An explanation might be longer than just saying “99%” as if that is some actual data instead of a number you ma

That’s only true if you’re installing many third-party app stores. Showing a warning once, or even a couple times, doesn’t necessarily cause the same desensitization.

Imbalanced power dynamics are bad if they are abused, and they are easy to abuse. However, not every CEO that dates a subordinate is a sexual predator. Again, that is an absurd statement; life is never that black and white. Sometimes, peopl

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the explanation!

Dating a coworker is a thing a lot of people do. Sometimes it is done by sexual predators who are preying on others. That is also true outside work. Dating someone at work doesn’t automatically make you a sexual predator. That’s an absurd s

Dating a coworker does not necessarily imply you are “behaving like a sexual predator.” Many people met their partners at work; some even worked for them. Sometimes you meet people in places, and sometimes that place is work. That doesn’t m

Sure, that's fair - I don't mean to imply that it is always true, and 'overwhelm the defensive systems' isn't the language I'd use. All I mean is that specifically targeted strikes, at the right targets, at the

> If it's true? It's a quote from the talk itself. Sorry, didn't mean to be unclear - my "even if that's true" was referring to the assertion that Schmidt wasn't well-liked, not your quote.

This is the most common thing everyone loves to say whenever anyone says they study any martial art, and they use it as an excuse to study no martial arts, because "what's the point" I never suggested that BJJ was going to

Not necessarily. The Trojan Horse wasn’t so disastrous because it was filled with way more soldiers. It was because they had penetrated all of the defenses and had the element of surprise. Iran just sent I-don’t-know-how-many drones and mis

Function specific offices typically only exist for roles that can be done alone. Sales is a great example; it benefits from the competitive atmosphere , but sales people aren’t generally sharing leads or collaborating on deals. That, like

Even if that’s true , it misses the entire point of the parent comment. His marital issues, infidelity, that one time he made out under a bridge when he was 14… none of it matters to this discussion as anything other than tabloid-fodder.

> I routinely get beaten by small women because I’m not a spazoid and I want my training partners to enjoy training with me. This is not the kind of thing I’m talking about. Of course we all regularly get “beaten” by people with less ski

Some gyms have these “enforcers” and are into this sort of thing. I hate that so much. Not everyone needs humbling. And I think that’s the point that people here are missing. If someone walks in and is calm, respects the fact that the tra

This isn’t an argument against iterating. It’s about iterating with intent, rather than iterating just for the sake of iterating. Taking notes, making educated guesses and hypotheses, planning experiments that are adjusted based on what you

Oh, of course - if you have no other options you go with what you have. But if you have other options, I think too many people are also stuck in “I know what I know and I know it will work” and will happily kludge along while something el

Totally fair, all of it. Thanks for the explanation. When you put it as simply as “it’s about who can lift more weight,” my question looks dumb in retrospect, of course. It would be just as easy for someone to incredulously ask me why I lov

by borski 2y ago
Yeah - I imagine that’s true for a ton of sports, but especially for any combat sport. I mean, even in shooting pistol (I shot sport pistol in college), breathing is the main thing you can control, and the main thing that will screw you.

I've seen it more than once, and the most recent time was my buddy who showed up specifically trying to prove a point . He was untrained. She was very trained. He didn't succeed at making his point. He signed up for the gym a mon

Sure, but none of that contradicts anything I said, and... makes my point? Within the constraints of BJJ, which I agree is not full-on combat, obviously... training matters more than weight or strength, a majority of the time. I'm not

No, not even a little bit; perhaps you might consider lightening up a little. The point I was trying to make is that when you're on the mats against an actively resisting opponent who is, yes, attempting to break your joints (which is

Fair point, but it's because when you've seen it firsthand it almost looks fake, except that you know exactly why it happens. It's a lesson that many of us learn and then take into other aspects of life, because it's rea

Sure, and I'd agree with you if the much bigger guy could, I don't know... breathe. :) Weight classes exist because they matter amongst opponents of roughly the same skill and training level. If one person is trained and the other

Just watched a video[0] and yeah, why? I’ve dislocated my shoulder far too many times to have any interest whatsoever in this lmao But - it being explosive makes perfect sense, but what does it work that deadlift or squats alone don’t? Or i

This is a really big problem for me in general, actually. I have ADHD, and so my brain is always telling me to go faster, so that I can get the dopamine hit and move on to other things. It has to be extremely intentional for me to remind my

Yes, agreed completely. “All hands on deck” can work really well for time sensitive things like this, but… it has to end relatively quickly, there must be a reprieve afterward (celebrate, take a day off, something), and it can’t happen all
