Can't be further from the truth. Not even going to read the article.

I've experienced enough disfunction from a lack of stretching to know how useful stretching is if you lift weights. Hell, just sitting down too often necessitates stretching, lest your psoas shrink from the position. It would be like limiting the range of motion of your elbow for long periods of time; eventually that bicep is going to shrink longitudinally (lengthwise).

Limitations on range of motion like this lead to situations where it's easier to hyper-extend that muscle, i.e. overstretch it in a short (split second) period of time.

To be specific, I used to deadlift frequently, but I didn't stretch later on, and eventually just the simple act of putting on socks caused me to hyper-extend my rhomboids or something back there. Put me out of commission for a bit such that even biking became impossible without excruciating pain afterwards.

There is no rational form of consent available. You either give up your data or you don' get coffee, period. That's not consent. That's an asinine abuse of privacy. If there were actual consent they would allow you to pay for the coffee. They don't.

That's not a valid form of informed consent. That's coercion.

This is nauseating.

Ah, thank you for disambiguating the pronoun 'they' whose reference wasn't clear as you provided no antecedent.

EDIT: Heh, kind of ironic really. A pronoun without an antecedent is like a variable in a dynamic programming language whose context isn't clear.

They who? Old or new?

Can you elaborate?

They feel like a more relatable human if you follow them on Twitter where you can see some of the ideas they're testing out:

It's easy to forget that art and creativity is an iterative / scientific process when you just see the finished products.

You should be using localstorage from the web storage API and not cookies. Cookies are sent to the server with every request. Local Storage is not.

I think they're saying that a lot of sites use cookies instead of the web storage api to store the option on the dialog, meaning that even if the dialogue are opt-in, they won't work unless the user enables cookies.

Basically a fundamental misunderstanding of the difference between cookies and local storage on the part of the web developers of many sites; i.e. cookies are sent with every request, whereas localstorage isn't and these sites should be storing the option to not use cookies in the localstorage instead of cookies, and I think I'm repeating myself because I haven't had my coffee after taking a nap, but that's neither here nor there or anywhere.

What is the goal of Americans not buying stuff? What is it they hope to achieve?

Oh neat! Thank you for the heads up on this!

RSS is a nice format, but it'd be even nicer as json.

Recently had a client that needed me to read their RSS feed into email templates and update their template after they switched their email service. First time working with RSS. 10/10, would do so again.

Thank you for the correction.

Thank you for the correction.

Yes, specifically spread betting, which is illegal in the US, but more common overseas I believe, because it basically is pure gambling. The other variations that are legal in the US are futures and options, with the latter being the most similar to spread betting I think.

Futures is a market to reduce risk for commodities producers. Options are higher risk I want to say?

Search around Investodpedia for better explanations; really good site that one.

EDIT: or maybe the spread referred to in the article is on the options market. I'll have to reread.

They mean very likely from the trader's perspective.

Being shown the projected return on the degree is exactly why students take on debt, because we were given assurances that the job market for this or that degree is great along with indicators of starting salaries that seem to tell you "You can afford to go into debt for this or that, because the job you'll have" (haha, good one!) "right after college will make it possible to pay off."

Actually we definitely need to go there, but cost regulations doesn't requires micromanagement of price controls. We already have a decent working example of some form of central control in the form of the fed bond rates; this is no different. Considering the fact that these are mostly public institutions, there should be a touch more public control in terms of the costs, because the end result of not controlling the costs centrally is a type of competition that we see now, which is to say universities taking on more and more debt for new buildings and other bullshit, knowing that they can account for the burden of that debt on tuition increases and unnecessary.

This is not a hard problem and it's vastly different than central planning with respect to prices of toilet paper or other stuff that shouldn't be centrally planned. Don't conflate these contexts and assume that they're all the same with respect to price regulations, because they're not. It's either lazy or intentionally disingenuous on your part to do so.

Fostering competition while ensuring that students are not taken advantage of is equally as complex if not more so than centralized cost regulation in the form of restrictions for institutions that accept federal loan monies. That's something I often see unaddressed with comments like yours. Unregulated competition is not a magic wand that solves all problems. Treating it as such is ignorant.

Oh right. That's a good point. I forgot about the high turnover rate of that area of the body.

Could that lead to cysts in the GI tract?

Depends on the person. If I have the conscious frame of mind to realize I'm procrastinating and the thing that needs to be done is urgent, then the negative emotions hit me, but often I completely forget what I was supposed to be doing as I get entrenched in whatever I was procrastinating on, losing track of time to the point of asking "Wait ... when did Monday become Wednesday!?"

Are you saying you're opposed to responsive design?

Theres a difference between sometimes poor popular science reporting and outright plagiarism though.

I don't think it's so much the tolerance that leads one to abuse Adderall, but rather the confidence Adderall gives you. Can't speak for other amphetamine formulations though, just Adderall IR generic brand.

I think abuse can come in two forms; intentional abuse, which is what we think of as abuse, and unintentional abuse, where during the titration period, when you first get on the medication, you titrate it too high, but this feels like the right amount. I think the latter situation happened to me due to life circumstances. The Adderall I was taking was too much in combination with the lack of sleep, because I took too many credit hours and was staying up in the library or bar studying. Diet probably was less than stellar as well.

The too much level for me as 30mg / day split into 2x 15mg morning and later afternoon / early evening. If I ever go back on Adderall (assuming I can ever find a doctor that takes new patients on medicaid and doesn't make you wait months to see them), I would take 15mg / day split into 2x 7.5mg

On a side note, recently I read something about adderall and neurotoxicity caused by some oxidation reaction, which apparently has been exhibited in very high doses in experiments. Apparently Ritalin doesn't have such neurotoxic effects according to that article. I think there was also something in there about combining ritalin with adderall, which causes the ritalin to counteract the neurotoxic effects of the adderall or something. I think it said that Adderall causes more neurotransmitter to be produced, while ritalin limits uptake of said neurotransmitter.

Hyper focus is a trait of ADHD, which seems counter intuitive, as you imagine that ADHD means you can't concentrate on anything, which is not at all true.

How do you not have an air conditioner? What kind of alien creatures are you in SF? Does the weather there really never get above 80?
