My understanding of Krav Maga is that it's more or less formalized mixed martial arts. I studied Tang Soo Do for many years, and the really useful self defense techniques were not taught until I got my black belt, and we started learni

I'm one of the lucky ones. I moved into a brand new building in queens ~6 months ago, and though the management company said it was ready for both Time Warner Cable and Verizon FiOS, when I called Time Warner (to move my existing cable

I like the analogy that the brain is a muscle and if you don't exercise it, parts of it start to atrophy. I think these brain games actually bring a lot of value to people who have retired and are no longer required to exercise their b

The problem is really that SQL isn't the easiest way to, starting from nothing, take some data, manipulate it and display it on screen. You have to take a couple of steps to set up a schema, take the data you have, convert it to that s

I think it's really more that the bad "hens" lay many bad eggs, and the good ones only lay one good egg at a time.

Perhaps I'm not predisposed to view this story the way you are, but I actually got the opposite sense from it. Don't trust that the massive bureaucracies will save you. Don't trust that the US government is doing a good enoug

Interesting, I'd never checked that log before, and I just noticed a failed login (though no two_factor_requested) from an IP address in Brazil. I'm gonna change my password just in case.

I haven't read enough about it to corroborate, but I very much hope this to be the case. My personal machine and my work machine have very different use profiles (not to mention monitor setups), and I would not want actual automated

Oh good lord, I hadn't even thought of that. Keep the ransomware sitting idle until 10 minutes before the Super Bowl - then turn it on asking for $1000 (or even less, if you've got it on enough TVs) to release the lock. I turned o

Well that's good, at least. I still remember when I was fortunate enough to failover to a concorde when our 747 was grounded ~20 years ago and got to visit the cockpit in flight. There was a seam between two portions of the cockpit (a

When I was a kid air travel was great fun! I got to visit the cockpit in every plane we flew in, including the Concorde. As a curious child, this was absolutely wonderful. Ah well, it seems that those days will never return.

The sense that I got from the article is that unlike "normal" TBIs, this type of brain trauma is very difficult if not impossible to see on a scan. The symptoms, on the other hand seem very very similar. The progressive degradatio

I'm not convinced that the injury is significantly different. The mechanics certainly are: rather than the the brain trauma being caused by the brain bouncing off the skull, it's because the whole system is hit by a wave of pressu
