This is a super interesting case of how outdated ideas (ie. knees can _never_ go over toes) become pervasive in people's minds, almost to the point of a myth that is very hard to dispel. The story of kneesovertoesguy is amazing btw, I recommend checking his podcast episodes/youtube channel and training program (https://www.atgonlinecoaching.com/) which focus on knee and lower body strengthening that uses exercises that were a no-go for many experts not too long ago.

(EDIT: sorry for the plug, I'm not related to kneesovertoesguy or his business in any way -- I just noticed the landing page I shared above is literally a call to pay for his courses. I'm not and never been a subscriber but do enjoy and have been seeing real benefits from doing exercises he goes through on his youtube for free. So I hope it helps!)

Conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT) is super interesting data type (and algorithm), especially when it is implemented for complex data structures like JSON: A JSON CRDT is "[...] an algorithm and formal semantics for a JSON data structure that automatically resolves concurrent modifications such that no updates are lost, and such that all replicas converge towards the same state (a conflict-free replicated datatype or CRDT)." [1].

Cannabis is the third most consumed psychoactive substance in the world (after alcohol and nicotine)

Nit, but I believe that coffee is the most used psychoactive substance in the world. Even if it is not the most used, it is surely in the top three before cannabis.

I do paragliding and this app is part of my every day toolbox to prepare the flights and decide where to fly. The forecasting is pretty accurate, specially if there's a weather station close to the area I'm checking the wind intensity and direction. Great app, can't recommend enough!

Interesting, to be honest I was expecting the thesis to be along the lines of "people cannot write because they cannot think clearly". It seems to be that with so many distractions and information overload, the science and art of thinking and articulating ideas clearly are considered as less important.

Edit: I also feel (highlighting "feel", since I don't have data to back this statement) that people tend to read less structured and long content than before (as opposed to tweet-like content and short click-bait articles). Not sure how this influences how society thinks and writes.

This is plain garbage. The best way to get visitors to your website is to create good content. No marketing, no click-bait or other garbage, just good content.

OP here. Do you have any system to cope with the _overwhelming_ amount of (interesting) information we can find online nowadays? How does it work?

Nothing.

Just get your shit together

Besides, bittorrent works great as is, if people start making money on seeding, they will be way easier targets in court when sued by majors. h

"Save Elon by giving us money". No thanks.

(shameless plug) perhaps we can gather some ideas here? https://github.com/gpestana/brain-dump/issues/2 :)

I think independent researchers - at least in the CS context - end up organically collaborating online through the content they share in github, blogposts, etc. Maybe there is some space for a more structured community of independent researchers which help each other and collaborate, but then again, isn't structure that indie researchers are trying to avoid?

Taking over the world. I mean, they've been pretty much copying and improving any other web service/tool/cloud service. Why not VR creation and eventually a VR market? It seems to me that this is just like another AWS move towards being in as many markets and fronts as possible.

Alright, so that guys has the guts to say “It’s our job to make sure that everyone gets treated as a human, not as an object.”.

If you happen to use the TICK[1] stack and Kapacitor tasks, how do you test your tasks? How useful would this tool be for you? Any more ideas?

Hey! OP here. I'll be around for answering questions and feedback!

More info about it (and clearer) here: http://data.worldbank.org/news/extreme-poverty-rates-continu...

According to this article what's the extreme poverty threshold for World Bank, after all? It says first:

"Extreme poverty has long been defined as living on or below $1.25 a day, but the World Bank’s adjustment now sets the poverty line at $1.90 a day."

And then, at the end:

"The World Bank first introduced a global poverty line in 1990, setting it at $1 a day. It was adjusted last in 2008, when the group raised it to $1.25 a day."

Got a bit confused.
