yay BJJ! Been doing this for about two years, and it's the best thing I ever started. Really enjoy both the physical training aspect of it, and also the "human chess" aspect of it.

by "fat-free body weight", do you mean people that have a low body percentage already?

If you are interested in these kinds of stories, check out the documentary http://www.thesearchforgeneraltso.com/

Aside from being specifically about searching for the origin of the general tso recipe, it talks about how chinese immigrants came to own so many chinese restaurants across the country.

I too freely admit that you might be right as well (if the assumption of speed can be dismissed) ... lol, this feels like it would be perfect fodder for one of those physics youtube channels that answers channels, or perhaps XKCD's https://what-if.xkcd.com/

I'm guessing that you're underestimating the cost of drag ... tailing a 300 sq meter "boat" would probably require more energy than it could produce. I have no data, and haven't done any back of the napkin calculations to back up my stance ... but just look at the speed difference between a monohull vs a catamaran vs a foil sailboat. Reducing the contact area with the water (and thus reducing drag) is _everything_.

Bunks, combined with being able to get up for brief visits to the head, and perhaps a small bar (for food, drinks, and coffee), would be a dream long distance commute for me.

The real trick is going to come from the new interaction models that are invented ... I'm not just talking about the generic point, touch, and gesture UX that we have today in the AR/VR space; I'm talking about entirely new categories of tasks and abilities that are simply not possible using the inputs of today. We're already starting to see some really innovative art being created by "physically" being in the space (as in Tilt Brush) ... I wonder when we'll start seeing more 3d content creation tools being VR-native. Or CAD tools where you can lay out changes to a structure in real time ... that one is especially interesting given that you can (in theory) make a real-time map of your environment using some of the "inside out" positioning sensors that are already on headsets today.

My comment stands, "it should be" ... a paid review is tainted from jump street. At a very minimum, disclosure should be mandated (is this already the case?)

It should be

But are they worse off for "losing" those teams?

Not to be cliche, but you need to check your privilege here. Firstly, "these folks" would clearly have a better job if they could get one. You assume they're not trying ... or you assume it's as simple to find a job as it is for someone in our industry.

This is it right here. I can be convinced to be somewhat sympathetic to the view of excessive regulation, and ineffective bureaucracy ... however, I certainly can't be convinced that it's wholesale not necessary. Bad actors can and will take advantage of people, and it needs to be reigned in by "something".

I refuse to believe that we can't achieve a balance ... when there's too little regulation, add more. When it becomes too onerous, pare it back. The thing that seems to be missing is that balancing force. The body's immune system is important for regulating and protecting bodily functions, however when things go wrong, they go very wrong (auto-immune diseases, etc); I feel like that's where we are right now.

While I completely understand what the article is saying ... this is nothing short of a complete failure of journalistic integrity. Just like there's a "wall" between the news floor and the advertising department, it should be accepted practice for the author of a piece to have a hand in and approval of titles for their piece.

An editor writing a clickbaity headline is incentivized in the same way as the ad/business department to craft that title in a way to maximize engagement.

It will be interesting to see if this leads to any unique insights for human settlements that's different from what we thought we knew

Like a fever :)

For these to work, the economic and technical issue at hand have to be one and the same. You either do, or don't, get the money once X,Y,Z conditions are met (conditions must be verifiable on the blockchain). Outside of that, you're right, it requires outside mechanisms to enforce.

I'm honestly starting to believe that the "wisdom of the crowds" that so many startups and businesses rely on to reach "internet scale", is exactly the wrong approach. Between recommendation algorithms that can be gamed, content that can be paid for, and social media sentiment that can prove to be entirely manufactured, we need to come up with a new paradigm for our products (where "our" is the tech industry at large).

The days of allowing what are essentially anonymous sources to dictate what we do, where we go, what we buy, and how we think are coming to an end.

Just to add onto the cavalcade of other anecdotes ... can confirm that there is a similar "cuban time", having grown up in Miami. No one is on time, much to the chagrin of my very-caucasian wife :)

Is there any way you could change your routine? Personally, I despise being rushed in my meals.

Juul is also, by far, the most mainstream product on the market (at least, as far as school-aged children go). That's how it goes ... biggest target gets the bullet.

With regards to political views, the point isn't in any way to change your view, it's to use your view. By taking out ads that stoke someone's feelings about abortions, they can get them to follow a FB page, which can then in the future be used to promote other things (like specific political candidates), or to spread propaganda (like, "hey look at this fake news over here").

And thus, by association ... your views can certainly change.

> "If this person/page that I agree with so strongly on abortion (or whatever) has this other opinion over here, I should probably give that a second consideration"

There's a reason that advertising works ... they tap into the deepest human instincts and urges. As much as anyone wants to believe they are too smart to be swayed by advertising, it's only hubris.

That fight scene at the beach ... hooboy, talk about something that I had rose colored glasses on for the last 30-odd years :P

I'm very excited about this stuff ... but as a relatively healthy person, I'm gonna wait for v1.1 :)

Same here ... it's ideal for me, though I can definitely agree that even better is the "hybrid" concept mentioned by a few others, where I have some time spent amongst the team, and some time spent in isolation.

I love those use cases myself! However, you and I are by far not the mainstream audience. Hate to say it, but the ipad/ipencil ecosystem is too expensive for the average person. To your point about sustainable pricing, bulk of the money is going to Apple in this equation, rather than to developers building on the platform.

it should absolutely not be based on age ... some old people are quite poor, while some young people are quite wealthy.
