Has this not been common knowledge for a long time? The argument for high load/low reps has always been that it a) saves time and b) will increase your strength (vs. muscle size) more. Both of which are important factors, especially if

Your statements about Germany are not correct: Factur-X is not common in Germany at all, the German version of this standard (albeit very closely related to Factur-X) is called Zugferd and it is by no means mandatory in Germany. Actually, m

Well, as they should, because they are now by far the biggest emitter with higher CO2 emissions than the EU and US combined. Even their per capita emissions have surpassed countries like Germany.

Didn't they promise regulators, that they wouldn't exclude other platforms from Activision games, CoD in particular? So if they now give it away to the users of their platform but users of other platforms have to pay top dollar, i

I don’t know about the US, but at least in Germany, Amazon has lost control of its inventory many years ago. Fake products, fake reviews, empty boxes, etc. have been very common. There are also many products having no or faked safety certif

Be it as it may, it does not really matter, whether it came from a Okta database or of any other company. It further compromises Okta's security which is pretty bad because being secure is basically their primary service proposition.

I don’t know why people are all pretending like this is irrelevant to Okta's security. An employee list like that is a goldmine for all sorts of social engineering and phishing attacks.

Be is it may, there are companies like iText (Java PDF library) which are actively harassing companies which use their software, even if the use is perfectly legal (e.g. internal server software). So it's not only Google spreading FUD

Well the argument completely hinges on the assumption, that this Paxos outfit is not the same kind of shit show practically all the other crypto exchanges/issuers/brokers/funds are. Since the majority of major crypto companie

Another problem is the reputation of veterans. While many countries with a closer relationship between military and population (e.g. USA and UK) have managed to make a military career a great feature on your resume, in Germany it‘s almost a

Just reading that gives you an inkling of an idea what kind of amazing feat of engineering the LHC is. I really hope governments keep funding basic research like that because it teaches us not only about nature but also how to built those i

Those fines are ridiculously low considering VW had to pay 30$ billion in fines and other compensatory payments for the diesel emission standard violations (1). So anyone who thinks its the EU which is using fines compensate for tax evasion

I wonder if the template syntax with no explicit terminator for variables and expressions is a good idea. I can see many footguns for the user and the parser…

I think, it's great and it will probably make me switch from Spotify to Apple Music. Spotify is a complete shit show if it comes to classical. The search results are mostly useless and the lack of standardization in the naming of class

The question is: are people stupid because they are smoking or are they smoking because they are stupid. From the press release, it does not seem that they took any measures to establish causation (like comparing IQ tests from the time befo

Reading that really makes you wonder what the hell (sorry if that offends some atheists or buddhists!) they are talking about in official meetings at the Stanford IT department. Gray beards? Pocahontas??? In my 20 years in IT, not once have
