What the article didn't originally mention is that Berkeley was the first city in the country to adopt single family zoning 100 years ago, in response to the large migration of African Americans to the West Coast.

Other cities of the country, seeing the opportunity to enforce segregation through zoning, followed suit, and today we live in the consequences.

Density advocates can only hope that 100 years later the counter trend also spreads as successfully.

Well of course they don’t actively worry about your hair, but most certainly it’s one of the factors on whether people find you attractive or not. And that can still have real consequences even if people aren’t “worried about you.”
Yes, more or less.

Look at it this way: M2 money supply includes M1 money supply. If you look at M2, you’d expect to see the same step-function increase because it includes M1, yet we don’t see it.

This step function is just an artifact of moving some things from M2 to M1, not because the government printed all of that money.
Amdahl's law is only relevant if you can't change your algorithms. If you can, then most of the time it's a non-issue.

The human brain runs off umptillion neurons each running at 100-1000 Hz (depending on measure). Not GHz, MHz or even kHz. Hz. Obviously it's an extreme case, but if general intelligence can be achieved without fast serial computing then there should be lots of things we can do with a few dozen cores all running at GHz rates.
Hedge funds, private equity firms, and management consulting shops use expert networks a lot. They’re often looking at a potential investment, and seek to talk to people deeply familiar with the industry and competitive landscape. Usually a firm like Guidepoint will spam a group of people to facilitate an introduction. Top experts can name their price.
Sometimes cultural differences can be self-reinforcing. Studies on corporal punishment and childhood trauma have shown that trauma increases when it's perceived as unusual. If a kid is beaten for disobedience and none of their peers are, it's more likely to cause lasting trauma. In societies where beatings are commonplace, kids are much more likely to adjust and grow up fine.
1. The details.
2. The level of control.

A study to test this would be simple - test skills level at something (e.g. chess), and then have the study participant study "in their sleep" for a month. Test again. It has never been done. Not even close. As it has never been done, I strongly believe you are misinterpreting / over-stating your results.

Journalists don't have a choice, social media is the largest medium for consumption of News(or Title?).

For years News has been the least downloaded segment in the Appstore/Playstore[1], there was a chance to revive RSS when the social media got into trouble for fake news, but even that opportunity is lost as Google/Apple has repositioned themselves in the News segment.

Here we go again. A preemptive note on semantic HTML: This is not a question of DIVs vs TABLEs. Those who litter DIVs everywhere are just as misguided. The idea of HTML is to meaningfully represent the content it's describing. Sometimes this means using tables (for tablular data), other times it involves wrapping elements in a div container.

Now whether or not HN's front page is tabular data (my vote is not) is left to debate.
If I remember correctly, they did try to take on eBay, but that project was eventually turned into Amazon Marketplace.

In short: new countries give citizens of existing countries more options to vote with their feet. Existing countries will use violence to prevent this.
While I agree that it's clearly what "that scumbag wants" I think this kind of article could be a good thing printed in something like the NYT. It brings more awareness that crooks like this are out there and you need to be careful shopping online. I'm about to send it to my mom, who could easily get caught up in something crazy like this since her internet-sketchy-ness filter is not exactly as sharp as most HNers.
I wouldn't say that. The percentage of people today who die warring with other people is a tiny fraction of what it was thousands of years ago.

We have learned a lot. Today, people die from obesity instead of sword wounds.
Apple doesn't want to be a cultural force. Apple want to sell phones. They have to comply with local law to do so.

Doing otherwise is "bias" and "politics". Now, you may argue that Apple should be biased towards the Western view of the world, and have its own politics of national recognition, but there is substantial pushback against big tech companies having a political bias.
A tweet is not a press release and neither of those are lawful orders. Congressmen, for example, have numerous options for communicating officially with their constituents. That communication is not an indication of lawful actions or policy though.

Its like comparing the correspondence of a legal action from the government to a campaign rally. Just because many people in the public cannot tell the difference does not make them equivalent.
Oh I dunno, it'd take a fair bit of time to vet for personal data .. I think I'll just make it more of a family/friends heirloom installation, and for those 'in the know' about how to get up to the hut. There's a ton of great stuff in the archive, but I don't think its something of public interest as much as just my personal tastes in interesting shit ..

I also get (mild) anxiety from weed but LSD gives me a nice, relaxed, "everything is great" feeling. Shrooms are very similar, though I get more introspective and depressed unless I'm somewhere nice. I don't like doing LSD/shrooms in my flat or in crowded places, because they bring me down. I'll need to try on a beach or in a forest next time.
Do you have a plan for when the anonaddy.com domain is added to the blacklisted emails? For example, I know on some websites will just straight up reject addresses from Mailinator or Sharklasers. Is there a way to prevent this from happening to you as well?
Anecdotally speaking, I have met at least a hundred women who happened to be engineers, and none of them were trans. Then again, I don't work in Silicon Valley, lol.
"Boring" is as defined by the individual. After all, some people are thrilled by studying things considered boring by most people.

But I would assume that for most in this case, boring means sameness. Most of us hear about new Google products and technology every day. What was the last Oracle innovation you heard about? Thus, we know far more about Google products and culture because they're interesting; they get written, published, and discussed.
Actually the article says the photons were in a room-temperature scenario.
PCmag is just as disingenuous here as the RIAA, which is not saying much good about them.

Their stance should be: we report what our readers want to read and what sells ads, that you, the RIAA are inconvenienced by this is tough but so be it. Reporting this is not illegal.

And while we're at it screwing artists out of the royalties legally due to them is illegal and the RIAA does it every chance they get and good luck fighting them in court to get a win before your estate takes over.

Bits can - and will - be copied, as the price of transporting and storing bits approaches zero the ease with which this will happen will rapidly approach a point at which any kind of value directly associated with copying bits is going to be seen as ridiculous. The business-models will change, and I'm thinking convenience is going to be a much bigger driver than scarcity ever was. The music industry may end up on top of this after all, if they start making up for lost time.
"Mac OS 11" (sic) is a marketing term. It doesn't necessarily have to imply anything relating to the existing product. I'm not trying to be pedantic, just trying to illustrate that I see Apple going strongly towards the iOS route as their main computing platform and I think the facts illustrate the genesis of that.

It may be true that the current ARM offerings are inferior in terms of benchmarks, but as far as general computing use they're probably overpowered. I don't really need an i7, a Core 2 Duo is fine. Nearly everything seems generally overpowered these days.

Some higher-level math will be important, other parts will not be. The parts that will be more useful are more on the analysis side (real analysis, complex analysis, functional analysis, convex analysis, Fourier analysis, probability theory). These are higher math and are very applicable, or are prerequisites to understanding the applied stuff (convex optimization, dynamical systems, control, ...).

It helps to know what a topology is, but not much more, and you would learn enough "on the way" in learning analysis properly. It helps to know what groups are, because they do show up in practical things, but you don't really need to know full-up "group theory". (They show up because they capture the idea of symmetries, and it is useful in certain practical situations to talk about something being symmetric with respect to various transformations, e.g. under permutations or rotations or whatever. But in this case you don't tend to do much analysis actually using group theory beyond this.)
A whole course on abstract algebra is not necessary unless you're interested. It may help in some indirect way of "helping you think better", it may not.

See, say, http://junction.stanford.edu/~lall/engr207c/ as an example of an EE course that does a fair amount of math.

(Also, above, I don't mean 'applicable' in the very indirect sense of "helping you think better" -- I mean people use it to do real stuff. Whether you want to do that stuff is another story -- there are certainly good things in EE/CS that don't require this kind of math.)

I wrote the first post. The title was too extreme. I acknowledged that and apologized for it. I agree that many of the comments were fair and said so in this post. This isn't my first post to get FU's. I can live with that. I still wonder whether my suggestions may help?
This is not a simple misspelling though. If someone would write 'int countar = 0;' because he doesn't speak English well or whatever, that's fine. But spelling 'write' as 'rite' is indicative of a certain mindset - of favoring a certain quirky sense of beauty or style over clarity. And I didn't say it'd be autoding, just that it lowers my opinion of the author a bit. If the rest was OK that would be noise in between all the other criteria.
Point #4 of "Don't undersell yourself" reminds me of Cialdini's Commitment and Consistency principle (in Influence, the Psychology of Persuation). Insightful.

I look at privacy as a zero-sum game.

Under your scheme, I can elect to comment pseudo-anonymously but, I'm not really anonymous. I've given my anonymity to HN (and the OP indirectly).

I'm not opposed to using real names but, reject being compelled to do so.
I don't think the thesis of the article was that instant access to information is bad for society.

I think the article was more a reflection on how radically things have changed, and that, even if things are generally much better now, there still were unexpected positives to simpler times.
My mom taught me programming as a 6 year old almost 25 years ago. I went on to study it at college night school from 10 to 14 and held a job before graduating high school programming ASP, JS, and MS SQL.

You might still be able to end up on their twitter profiles from a chain of clicks starting in the about box.
This is absolutely terrifying. You can't use "the way things currently are" to argue for giving governments access to personal data. You have to think about, and protect "the way things might end up". How easy do you want to make it for corrupt government leaders to suppress opposition?

Also many early models were based on SARS and MERS because we had no comparable illnesses, and these were worst case respiratory diseases.

Ask to the Uyghurs if being obligated to work and live inside some camps with a mass sterilization is “cultural difference”. To me looks repression.

Obviously I know you are sarcastic. But I went to Iraq to see what ISIS has done to Yazidi people, a “real genocide”, where the people were tied up, put inside pits and shot.
The Uyghurs genocide has not this violence, is more subdole but this doesn’t mean is less dangerous and illegal!

And must be reported by democratic states and public opinion.
historically europe also started the week on sunday as per christian tradition. i too grew up with the idea that the week starts on sunday.

this change to starting the week on monday is therefore a recent development.

same in china btw. days in china are numbered. monday is number 1, and sunday is 7. so while people may have the idea that the week starts on sunday (i don't know) the day numbering suggests that it actually starts on monday.

same goes for europe. monday by law and sunday by tradition
But why doesn't it matter how many and how badly people have gotten hurt. With Chernobyl, which is by far the worst possible case, we're talking 50 seriously hurt people, 500 with seriously shortened lifespan, and let's say 100000 to 1000000 with slightly shortened lifespan.

Absolutely no other energy source comes even close to such low numbers, certainly not solar power, oil and especially not everyone's de-facto alternative: coal, which has actually killed millions, and shortened lifespans of certainly a billion people ...

How does this compare?
Yup. I hate // AM/PM formats with a passion. Doesn't help that I work with UK teams now, and their "natural" date format is 3/11/2021, with meaning of 3 and 11 reversed to what they'd mean for Americans...

sigh.

ISO 8601 everything. I'm religious about it. I write it in messages, on government forms, anything that doesn't force me to use a different format. On a bit of my insistence, we use ISO 8601 notation for all dates at home. I think the benefit is quite obvious once one starts using it.
So basically, instead of (re)distributing production, it just reinforces existing inequalities ("comparative advantage was reinforced") and makes low income countries even more dependent ("developing countries increased their imports") on high and middle income ones.

The 3D printing revolution is dead on arrival.
Thanks for the thorough explanation, - I guess I should do my research better next time.
Others have hinted at this, but when I read this story, I had a big "HUH?" moment. I just returned into the USA last week at SFO, and I can assure you that I didn't go through any kind of security screening upon re-entering the USA.

The USA, unlike many other countries, requires that you clear out through Customs at your first point of entry. This is an operational issue, because after that, you are mixed with domestic passengers. Clearing through Customs requires that you pick up your checked luggage. As such, you are no longer "sterile" from an airport security perspective (you could have pulled a box cutter out of your checked luggage, for example). This means that, if you plan to continue on as a domestic passenger, then you have to be re-screened for security, just like someone walking in from the street.

What boggles my mind is that the folks who set up this airport require non-passengers to go through TSA security, just to walk out of the terminal. Not only is this a waste of time and money, but it also introduces people with no legitimate reason to travel into the terminal. Put another way, if I WANTED to pass through a TSA checkpoint at most airports without a ticket for onward travel, I would be turned away.

In summary, I guess I can understand why this guy thought that he was being screened to re-enter the country, when in fact he was just the victim of very, very poor airport design.
Yeah, it's written in marketing speak, the kind of thing that must have been rigorously tested as some point to appeal to the widest audience but instantly turns me off.

"I used to be struggling like you but now I'm on the top the world and I'm going to show you how", this kind of thing just never appeals to me even if they are sincere because of all the insincere stuff that has come before in the same format.
One of the best (and yet seemingly little-known) tricks that Dropbox uses is that it will sync over a local LAN before attempting to download from S3.

Between the tight OS integration and the hash table lookups (it checks to see if that MP3 is already in their storage cloud, leading to regular "instant upload" scenarios) I believe that Dropbox is the best new software tool of the decade.
The FAA regulates non-governmental manned spaceflight.
No, but they regulate the part where a chunk of white-hot metal and composite plummets into an area of the sky they're responsible for. That extends well beyond U.S. territorial airspace--by international agreements, much international airspace has been assigned to various nations to control. If SpaceX were to conduct their entire reentry out in the middle of the pacific in completely uncontrolled areas then they probably wouldn't need a license, but recovering the capsule would be a whole lot harder.

I go to Python first because it's nice to be able to single-step through the script with a debugger and monitor exactly what's happening. I also know Python a lot better than shell script so it saves me a lot of time as well.
If we say that goalkeeping requires certain skills, and being an outfielder also requires certain skills, these skills being graphed on a chart, its simple to see that Messi would not perform well as a goalkeeper, and this is still curvefitting. If it turns out that the goalkeeper and outfielder have a lot of overlapping skills, we might fall back and refer to a probability curve of things that normally happen; "players require practice to excel in their position" would seem to fall on that curve.

The fact is that everything in the world can be reduced down to curves. It's just a matter of your perspective.
So the rule is actually "yes, and..". The "and" is actually the crucial bit because if you just say "yes" without adding information the scene stalls (you always want to be filling in more and more details). "No, but.." tends to be frowned on because it reboots the scene and invalidates your partners scene painting... but in a corporate context I think "no, but instead.." might be the better answer (if you have an "instead", of course). Then youre still addressing the concern by adding new info, but youre not committing prematurely

Its in the same spirit because you're not invalidating the problem or concern that created the request, but youre adding new information and context that way. I like your attitude but I think saying Yes to everything can be harmful if you have info they dont have that might factor into decisions. I think no, but with an alternative, can be really productive.
Anaconda would have avoided this. It's a breeze to install on Windows.

The Windows answer to apt is chocolatey, BTW.

FYI, Windows 10 is actually pretty easy to deal with. The primary issue I see these days is around certain numerical libraries not building unless user has CPP compiler installed.

You have to have Boeing/Airbus approved hardware, which will come from one of the big boys in Aero Electronics (Garmin/Honeywell...) and cost megabucks due to all the redundancy, testing, engineering.

You have to have it approved by the airline, which requires all kinds of testing and red tape.

You have to take the airplane out of service in order to install it, and train tech's to maintain and diagnose it, which means updated documentation.

You have to train pilots on its functions, and how to use it properly, and all the implications of a malfunction in the hardware.

Cost != airtime + cheap PCBS slapped in a dome on top of the airframe.
From what I have read, the gut constitutes about 70% of the immune system. And in alternative med circles, it is pretty well known that digestive enzymes in pill form can also be used as antivirals (something I have done with prescription digestive enzymes). The gut, like the respiratory system, is lined with mucus because it needs to manage a complex process of letting in things the body requires for life while screening out things that are dangerous.

So, if the conclusions of this study are at all accurate, perhaps part of the mechanism is that fasting reduces the load on the system for a time, reduces the amount of sorting out which foreign material to use as building blocks and which foreign material to treat as dangerous invaders so it can put resources to other uses.
