Do you seriously not think that playing a sport requires control of your entire body? Have you ever tried to actively improve at a sport? Everything from basketball to golf is fine muscle control from the lowest to highest levels.
Looks like you're just as caught up in your own bias as everyone else though :)
Not sure why you jumped to the conclusion that someone saying "X is not like playing a sport" is a claim that "sports are trivially easy compared to X". I don't think the parent comment was claiming that at all, just that they're different, namely that dance is not inherently competitive.
It’s pretty obvious that the parent post isn’t saying that dance is different in that it’s not inherently competitive, but rather that sports have to be done at a competitive level to match the physical requirements of dance. And I strongly disagree with that sentiment. My claim is that sports done with deliberate practice aimed at improving technique are just like dance done with deliberate practice aimed at improving technique.
I think it's easier to be less aware of your entire body while practicing for other sports.
As someone who plays basketball and tennis, it takes a lot of focus to pay attention to my whole body for an entire practice session (vs. just a single part that I'm trying to improve). Most of the time, if I don't explicitly try to pay attention, I just use muscle memory and try to get into "the zone".
In tennis for example, I only need to pay maximal attention when learning a stroke (although of course it's beneficial to pay attention to every body part when just regularly playing - it's not necessary, and certainly something that a lot of recreational players don't do). Whereas with dance, it's required that you pay attention to your entire body for the entire practice session to memorize a choreography.
I think that's the difference that's important for this paper. If my elderly dad were to play basketball, he might rely on muscle memory. Whereas, if his nursing home taught dance classes, he would definitively have to pay attention to all of his body parts.
My experience is different. In both sports and dances, I've always been asked/required to pay attention to the entire body. For example, in climbing, it's a mechanical necessity, while in table tennis, it's required for efficiency and power.

I want you to read this entire sentence, including the part after "except". I want you to tell me what you think that last clause means.
> It is not like playing a sport, except perhaps if you do it competitively
Do you think there is perhaps the slightest chance that they did not intend to say that "playing a sport does not require control of your entire body"?
Is there even a tiny possibility that they said that dancing non-competitively is not like playing a sport, perhaps because they are including competition in the definition of sport?
This is a great article! It's cool to see people get into the habit of growing their own food. I've been tinkering with hydroponics for a while now and a micro indoor garden is by far the best use and easiest to maintain for the average person.
Anything above the leafy green category is going to need some serious lighting and maintenance. Algae growth is a serious problem with setups like these (especially if you aren't going with a purchased kit) and it is very easy to lose your plants to over/under watering and ph/nutrient imbalances.
Much appreciated! I'm only scratching the surface of what is possible but it was so surprisingly easy for someone with minimal starting knowledge to get something going.
I can definitely start to see that the nutrient, ph, light details are going to be important for more consistency and better yields but having had this simple setup work ok has certainly been motivating to expand my knowledge.
Will checkout that channel. Looks like a fun rabbit hole :)
Oh god this poor guy had to sell his boat since square decided to hold a portion of his transactions (well within their right).
The claims that square is not trying to help small businesses is just bullshit though. They've helped a lot of businesses get loans when they couldn't from the major banks and have also released a lot of new features to support contact free sales.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Great, they help small businesses sometimes. But right here in a dire situation, they're hurting them. It’s fair to want to know why Square is holding thousands of your earnings. This is why businesses hate PayPal.
He said that "didn't have potential for abuse", I think the situation you gave defines abuse. Tracking everyone to catch one person is not acceptable in my opinion.
If they host their own ad server couldnt they just advertise their own application, linking to the website where the user would be able to find the real price?
Would apple be able to tell what content they are serving? Is that still against the ToS?
The one click start up point makes a lot of sense for Frontend developers! Auto installing a DB in the same command you use to run the app is pretty dumb though. What if I just want to point my instance at staging for testing? Now I have to have docker installed
