Chiming in with my own experience, as well. The two wrinkles I've encountered: * SafetyNet doesn't work, as expected, which means no Google Pay. Nothing else I use has been impeded, though. * Chromecasting doesn't seem to be

Why would anyone bother calling the cops and telling them that someone they don't like is an imminent threat? The end result is that some officer just has to stop by and see that they aren't actually building bombs. You've co

The demonstrated ability to produce collisions at will should be an instant show-stopper for this feature. If a bad actor can send targets innocent images which hash to CSAM, you essentially have an upgraded secret swatting mechanism that p

I run CalyxOS on a refurbished Pixel device. Works great, very privacy-respecting out of the box. Good at being a device that you actually own.

Redis can be made durable. The WAIT command allows you to guarantee writes to a quorum of nodes, and it can be configured for on-disk persistence rather easily. That said, due to it's single-threaded nature, blocking on quorum writes i

This is a mathematical model, not a study of empirical data. It's worth distinguishing, because models are only as good as their assumptions. The model presumes a "filtration constant" for masks, which only apply for pressure

It's not strange at all. "Think of the children" has forever been an emotional ploy to gain political power, not an actual concern for the children.

Security's great until it starts being used to secure the device against its owner.

If you want to own your identity management, consider Keycloak. It's mature, battle-tested, and works like a champ.

How would that work? Signal is a 501c3.

Yup. Check out Lutris - you don't need Steam to get the benefits of Proton (and you don't need a specifically Proton Wine build for most games).

This is true. I've just pivoted to not playing games with restrictive anti-cheat. It's not ideal, but it's only a small handful of games and I've got plenty of other stuff to play, and the stuff I do play runs flawlessly

I don't know about your insurer, but whenever I get an EOB, I see the price the doctor charged and the price the insurance paid. The provider agrees to accept the lower payment, not the price they charged. Individual negotiation is the

Prometheus has AlertManager which provides a framework for incident notification (we route incidents to Mattermost and PagerDuty, for example; PD ends up being our big incident response tool, which lets us cascade into a variety of "wa

Of course. But given the high correlation, pursuing strength seems likely to produce the benefits of whatever the final cause happens to be.

These studies are generally longitudinal studies across a number of years, where greater muscle mass or strength early in the study correlates with lower all-cause mortality across the duration of the study. It's not looking at surviva

This is right on the money. SL5x5 was the thing that "stuck" for me, but the best program is always the one that you stick with. Us kinds of people who are prone to read HN probably have a tendency to want to micro-optimize everyt

The good thing about 5x5 is that you start with minimal weights - like an empty bar - and spend your first couple of weeks training with "easy" weight. This time is really for you to learn the movements. There's a wealth of i

My two biggest complaints about it are too little deadlift volume (and always deadlifting after you've squatted, which is just suicidal at higher working weights), and no periodization. The latter is really the biggest issue with it as

You might be starting too aggressively. A successful program is going to start you lighter than you're capable of and progress you over time. Ego and eagerness get you injured quickly, and ultimately work against your goals.
295.
by cheald 6y ago
That was the trick for me. Seeing constant measured progress is a great motivator. I do bodyweight work now, but it's strictly as support for my other athletic goals. It's just too boring to me to do for its own sake.

I started with Stronglifts 5x5. It's a good starter program if you haven't lifted before, because it'll give you the opportunity to drill and learn the movements, and the program is simple, and there's an app that holds

I've seen studies confirming the inverse relationship between strength and all cause mortality numerous times. It seems pretty well established by now. Personally, I started lifting several years ago, and it's been the greatest ch

You're right, but I think it actually reinforces the OP's point. How do you make the adamantly noncompliant comply? You can ask nicely, you can threaten, you can stomp your feet, and if that doesn't work...then what?

I think the error is in mistaking knowledge for wisdom. Knowledge is a powerful tool, but without the wisdom to productively apply it, can be used for great destruction.
