   Heh. Actually I have a neck injury from a UFC fighter that was busted for doping. I don't blame him. He was just trying to keep his kids clothed and fed.

   Professionals get paid either to entertain or as part of an entry fee Ponzi scheme. The latter is what you see in Judo and Jiu Jitsu with the federations raking in the money.

   Our CNAME pointing to github pages was down on Cloudflare today with a 1014 error. I'm guessing they broke some other stuff while scrambling to fix this privacy issue? Not a good day for them.

   That's an interesting perspective. I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with a bunch of guys that are on steroids and it doesn't bother me a bit. In my mind I just handicap myself vs their strength advantage so I'm happy with my rela

   For non-professional sports I totally agree. It's a hobby.

   " Today, 10 years after of SHA-1 was first introduced, we are announcing the first practical technique for generating a collision." Huh? It's been around a lot longer than 10 years.

   This is just the flip side of the coin of the cheater: people inflating their egos about something that really doesn't matter. Have fun with it. It doesn't matter if you win and it doesn't matter if someone cheats.

   You are just plain wrong. HTTP was designed to access and update named resources. Those status codes correspond to the status of that resource so are totally appropriate no matter if the resource is a static HTML file or a database driven

    I appreciate the idea of having more perspective on socially constructed reality than others. As Robert Kegan might say instead of being fully embedded in socially-constructed reality, the nerd can objectify it. Now if you want to go next l

    No affiliation, but I really like http://gmb.io . I'm a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, so I find dynamic body weight movements more engaging than weight lifting or yoga. The progressions on the site are fantastic - som

    An alternative perspective is that "meta-okayness" might be a goal to aim for. Can I be fundamentally OK even when I don't feel OK? Could I be OK with depression? Could I be OK with sadness? Could I be OK with being human

    You misinterpret the statement. It is about finding the 'I' wherever it may hide.

    This is not meant to be understood consciously. It is a practice instruction. Can you objectify the sense of self? Can you observe the 'I'? Once you see it, that is a moment of awakening.

    The mind of a motivated seeker tends to be tormented. Perhaps melancholic doubt is a significant brain chemistry upgrade.

    Sadhguru is okay but I personally wouldn't take him as a template for my own path. I find that Buddhist teachers tend to hold greater depth of teaching.

    This seems like a fairly terrible idea. For reliability you normally want to get events off devices as quickly as possible. What about instead having a two-step event tracking protocol where the device pings a server with a list of event&#
