Contract 1-Fill: Fill & Download for Free

An obvious gamble but not too much of a bad move by Philly.Embiid has proven that when healthy, he's an all-star caliber player. All Stars are expensive, but All-Stars also fill the arena up, sell merchandise and win games. Even when not entirely healthy, Embiid is capable of outplaying his new contract.We still don't know what are those safety measures the Sixers took on his new contract [1] , but it could be some type of NFL-like contract where Embiid would get less money per game he's out because of injuries, so it won't be too bad for the Sixers if he misses extended play time. But again, I'm only speculating here until those details come out.If Embiid's health doesn't get any better, there's still goning to be teams out there willing to make a trade, a team may look to load veteran difficult-to-trade salary to the Sixers (like Kevin Love, Ryan Anderson, etc) in exchange for gambling on the often injured Embiid.At the end of the day it's a gamble, but not a horrible one as it looks like at first sight.EDIT 1:Details about Embiid's complicated new deal start to emerge [2] . The Sixers can waive Embiid and save money on his contract if he misses “25 or more regular-season games because of injuries in those areas (feet or back), and play less than 1,650 minutes”.Not bad, Sixers.Footnotes[1] Zach Lowe on Twitter[2] Sources: Embiid deal has specific injury clauses

Imagine you’ve just woke from a deep slumber.You get out of bed, yawn, hop in the shower, sip your morning coffee and get ready to seize the day.Think of your coffee and your shower as the warm up.Could you function without them?Sure, but….Chances are your day is 1000x better with them vs without them.So no you don’t have to warmup but you should.Here’s why:1. Makes you less prone to injury2. Fills your cold muscles and connective tissues with oxygen rich blood which means less fatigue3. Builds up strength for high intensity lifts4. Raises core temperature to reduce muscle stiffness6. Allows you to practice good form7. Improved muscle contractions[1]8. Increases muscle and joint flexibilityHow should you do it?Warmup methods are opinion based. A long warm up isn’t scientifically proven to be better than a short one and vice versa.It boils down to preference and efficiency:Efficient Warmup5 min cardio at a decent pace1–2 warm up sets of 10 reps, per muscle group at 60% of your 1rpmLess Efficient Warmup20 minutes cardioStatic stretching3+ warm up sets per muscle groupWhy Is The 2nd Warm Up Less Efficient?You’re expending too much energy during cardio that you could be using to liftStatic stretching before a workout makes your muscles weak, slow and doesn’t reduce injury[2]Your spending way too much time in the prep work rather than the real workWhy Is The 1st Warm Up More Efficient?5 min brisk cardio raises core temperature, reduces muscle stiffness, expends little energy and improves blood flowOne warm up set is arguably enough to get oxygen rich blood to the muscles, prepare recruitment of slow and fast twitch muscle fibers for intense liftsRecapYou don’t have to warmup but you shouldLimit your total warmup timeBrisk 5 min cardio and 1–2 sets of 10 reps, 60% 1RPM per muscle group, arguably, should be enoughIf you haven’t already, smash that follow button!-Nicholas CharlesFootnotes[1] http://jeb.biologists.org/content/jexbio/205/7/981.full.pdf[2] Do I need to stretch before exercising?

Smart contracts will evolve so that the problems smart contracts currently suffer from are fixed - eventually this will be code itself, but in the meantime we are stuck with our current legal systems and bridges from the real world of equity and appeals to the smart contract world of immutability:Garbage In, Garbage Out. This is too harsh but the idea is if you start with building on top of Ethereum, that has a high attack surface and may be suboptimal. One smart Quoran wrote to me privately about “how little thought was put to that before they launched” when referring to Ethereum.Bad Code Audits. The DAO was audited but badly. Smart contracts enable any smart, persistent, creative hacker to attack subtle flaws in the code. They literally comply with the code to achieve an unintended result.Overconfidence. Gavin Wood did not even audit his Parity code. He was a cofounder of Ethereum and knew it so well that his Parity code was attacked, draining $30 million with white hackers saving $180 million.Too Permanent. Like anything else, the quality of immutability is both a feature and a bug. Immutability means no one can modify, edit, delete or otherwise change your transaction. If you can not update something once you deploy it, you should keep what you deploy super simple and well-tested. Otherwise you are asking for trouble.https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.06038.pdfThe two big, seemingly incompatible tensions I see are from smart, accomplished, high ego, lower empathy people in both camps who - unlike Lindsay X. Lin - either know law or know code but do not know both.“Code is law” is a frequent refrain from smart software engineers who don’t quite get how law works and it’s foundational purpose.“That’s not how the law works, son” is the attitude of most smart lawyers who don’t get how legal systems work and their foundational purpose. This should be surprising but it’s not when the legal system has evolved into developing their own obtuse, jargon-filled language.Law is just an organized (?) bunch of rules to punish and reward behavior - generally administered by a third party. For example, under US tax law, if you care for another human being more than 50% of the time for a year, you get to take a deduction when you file your income taxes for that year.Contracts are typically agreements between two parties consisting of rights, obligations and promises. If you break the promise, often times the other party has to sue you in court to collect damages your breach of promise caused.But you don’t have to have laws or contracts. You can have culture, custom, rules and policies.During the California gold rush in the 1840s, miners were punished for taking over another miner’s area of gold digging without permission or waiting at least, say, 72 hours.[1] There was no law. It was just rules the community of gold diggers in that part of California developed to maintain order and have some semblance of fairness that everyone could live with.Smart contracts will evolve the same way any cool tech or idea evolves - by having it clash with the harsh realities of the real world, where people, businesses and governments have real, urgent, important problems they need solved right now.No one in the real world is going to wait for smart contracts to evolve and someday - in 50 years - incorporate AI and ML so that you can correctly anticipate every material contingency that can happen.Smart contracts need to work right now or they won’t be used.One way to deal with it is to have a bridge from the current, real world to the future ideal world we want. That includes early notification and dispute resolution systems for smart contracts.Footnotes[1] Rules for a Flat World: Why Humans Invented Law and How to Reinvent It for a Complex Global Economy: Gillian K.
