    But... But... That would go against what their platform says!

    How many competent programmers (including being reasonable to work with) do you know who would willingly work for their campaign?

    Depends on the rationale. I hope they'd block people who are violating free software licenses

    The 170,000 doesn't have a precise unit, it could be losses in market cap, cash reserves, advertiser revenue, operating costs, literally anything. I'm merely putting the number in …

    At their market cap it would take in excess of 10 years to zero out. 170,000, if that's the actual number, is absolutely nothing to them

    That opinion is going to vary drastically from person to person. I mostly play the same three or four games and have for about a decade. Stuff like KSP and ARMA where save state an…

    I'm in that age bracket, I remember the open internet. I wouldn't get super ageist about it, but I think the point still stands. Google just wants to believe the internet is for me…

    This is a (mostly) solved problem in linux. Your package manager has a central repo, but also can have 3rd party repos added. You'd add the matrix repo and it would automatically u…

    You're both right in a way, inane comments complaining about downvotes aren't substantive, but I also see a lot of thoughtful and frankly poignant comments bite the dust because th…

    And further, nobody outside of the extreme of the extremists actually wants to eliminate the potential for achieving a "wealthy" status. People will always be able to achieve high …

    This platform is far from an impartial place. People need to remember the reason this site exists...

    That's a good point. I suspect maybe we're overthinking things a bit. Most movements that enter the spotlight have spent a good amount of time growing behind the scenes beforehand.…

    Really you just have to frame it as such. There is a distinction here, race issues tend to deal with the interface between citizens and the government (police among other things) w…

    I don't think I've ever seen a model A in the wild but I've seen plenty of B's still working. I have a 20yo model C that I upgraded with a new monitor and handle and it still works…

    Depends on where you measure from but yea, 70 might be low. You can talk over two dozen heavies pulling 2ks on air rowers which definitely places it under 100dB.

    The standard rowing machines (sit on sliding seat, feet stationary) can actually be pretty abusive to the spine, worse than scull or sweep. I've seen inexperienced people actually …

    Did you create this account for this purpose? I don't have any stake in C2, I just want to make clear that they are the standard that this will be measured against and that they ar…

    Just for context, standard is defined on two fronts. 1. Each machine computes effective Watts differently, so pulling your guts out might be 1kW on one machine, and 400W on another…

    That makes sense, the issues I saw were mostly at the post collegiate/open level. There were some issues in U23s but that was somewhat rare, at least compared to alcohol inflicted …

    Why vary resistance? Most athletes learn to handle one resistance setting, the National Team standard being IIRC DF120, though anything between 100 and 120 is fine. Changing it ten…

    This is going to come down to experience but I'd say the majority of those I trained with had dealt with an injury at one point or another. Most women, particularly the lightweight…

    This is a kind of thing that needs a lot of direct coaching to achieve... There are two major rowing postures you'll find people tend to use, hips rotated forward and hips back (sp…

    Edited my comment when I saw this. This is exceedingly dangerous. Ask any rower that's worked with people on C2 machines. Everyone will instinctively throw the damper to setting 10…

    I see this as an insanely dangerous game. IME most non-rowers won't touch an erg without significant instruction/encouragement as they're technique dependent. Any that do will quic…
