What I've seen of KStar's stuff is good for functional strength, but for posture in general he advocates the more traditional, conservative PT approach of "just straighten the back", which has become controversial in mor

IIRC the genesis of the dossier was opposition research by other Republicans. We’re talking about intelligence operatives, they probably never actually know where the money is coming from, and it often flows from different and sometimes com

There are lots of interesting hobbyist/hacker/maker projects as well, like the sdr chips, HF kits like uBitX, and FaradayRF. One of my coworkers has his license to track model rockets with a small transmitter that sends GPS teleme

Google maps (at least on iOS) changes their interface frequently and needlessly. I have not seen a meaningful update to the UI in maybe the last three years. The ability to mute the volume is the only real change that comes to mind and that

I know that SFINAE exploited the preprocessor's template overload resolution rules. It was later standardized and expanded on. https://books.google.com/books?id=i7M1DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT564

These companies have sold investors on the value of their social graph. Nobody was quite sure what, exactly, that value is, but it I think it is clear that it has one. Early on, celebrities organically grew followings. This gave them a dire

I think that you are right, but only in the qualitative sense, not the quantitative. Spam networks have shown us that taking out a few big players - the largest few sub-graphs of the network - can have dramatic effects on spam rates, reduci

A large existing C++ code base is one good reason. It’s possible to write wrappers for most of the more web-friendly languages but they are a pain to debug and maintain for any complex API. So if you need a relatively lightweight web front-

Literally none of these characterizations of Microsoft, past or present, resonate with me at all. Maybe the company has truly turned a new page, but I still mostly see them copying others’ ideas and playing second string as a result. I’m gl

I agree, and I'm skeptical of Bitcoin on many levels. The vision it offers is very attractive, but each so-called feature comes with so many caveats that it's never clear there is a real advantage. Still, I think people hold onto
