There's a better-known argument that land itself is in fixed supply. (Even where land reclamation is a thing, say in the Netherlands, it's not the private sector doing it.) If you pay a tax on land rent, this doesn't alter your behavior compared to paying no tax, because you would've had to forgo that same rent anyway as part of holding that land for yourself.

The fact that land rent correlates so well with locally-created value also makes it quite convenient as a source of funds for local government.
Yes. This. And is free to setup on big cloud services. Like free 24/7 with whatever amount of data. Guides are online.
Because I have watched the big 3 wage a towing capacity war over the last five years and buyers have really responded. Market shares have grown and shrunk in lockstep with towing capacity.

It's perhaps not rational. Only 25% of pickup owners tow more than once a year. But, people buy sports cars based on 0-60 times they'll never hit more than once or twice when they first get the car. People don't buy a Porsche because they drive at 250 mph all the time, they buy it because it can even though they never do, and I think towing capacity is similar for pickups.
There are many banks to choose from. Put your money elsewhere. Then explain to the bank why you did.
Use a Pihole + your adblocker of choice - defense in depth. It's easy to set up, brainless to keep updated, and helps to protect all devices on your network, not just the things that can run uBlock. I've got mine running in a Docker container, which upstreams to a stubby container, which gets DNS-over-TLS, so I get adblocking and DNS query encryption out to Cloudflare for the whole network, and it's really not all that hard to set up. (Edit: Here's the bash script I used. docker-compose would probably be better, but whatever. https://gist.github.com/cheald/23da384908404b0757eadda74124a...)

If you're unwilling to do that, just set your DNS servers to the Adguard servers (https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html) and you get most of the same benefit, though obviously without the control that the Pihole offers you. On Android devices, you can go to Settings - > Wifi & Internet - > Private DNS and set "Private DNS provider hostname" to dns.adguard.com (or your own exposed Pihole server, if you're so inclined) and get the same benefit when you're on LTE.
Why are they not using college dorms instead? There's already beds there and there's a modicum of isolation.
> There are so many unfair takes against politicians these days it’s hard to tell who is actually right anymore.

Here is a handy guide:

- If they are angry at the media, they are confused and should be muzzled for a time

- If they are exercising insider trading, they should be removed from office

- If they are coordinating and appear to be going to too much of an extreme regarding lockdown and response, they are actually well informed and should be granted additional responsibility and leadership, if capable

- If they are offering help to business but not individuals, they should be muzzled for the extent of the crisis and not allowed to submit amendments or legislation

- If they are deliberately slowing down responses, they should be muzzled for the extent of the crisis and their decision powers be given to their deputies

- If they are ensuring the public nothing is wrong they are incorrect and should be muzzled for the extend of their crisis, and their decision and executive powers given to their deputies.

These heuristics would ensure incompetence is kept in its place -- away from the lives and livelihoods of individuals, and ideally removed from office during the next election cycle as incompetent politicians have no business executing the will of their constituents during wartime or peacetime.
I'm working on a Hacker News client that I've named HackiNews [1]. It's inspired by HckrNews [2]. I've made it simply to scratch my own itch but with others in mind.

I wanted more granularity in the score that I filtered out. I also wanted night mode (automatically switches with system chosen theme) especially in the comments section.

I have the code available here on GitHub [3] but it's not documented for use as I've only spent a couple days on it.

> Can’t we just nominate a few of the browsers to do what the SFU does, namely forwarding video to the others?

IIRC this is basically what skype did back when it was P2P, those clients were called supernodes and would route calls for clients that could not be directly P2P. To be a supernode you needed to be internet-routable and have good bandwidth.

Supernodes could be used for hole punching or to relay calls (as you talk about).

True, but as an American, it definitely feels like we're bringing our B game to one of the nastiest challenges the world has ever faced. We had the ability to write a blank check and fire up mask, ventilator, and test production the second it was clear this was a global problem.

So instead of sending excess equipment around the world, we're playing catch up on our own shortage, and the control measures have to be a lot stricter because of it.
Wuhan wanted to put the hospital away from city center. And did not want to contaminate existing spaces.

In NYC, there is very little space for something new. And the existing structures are poor locations for actual hospitals.

If the economy is going to be down for a while, might as well use a public space that is shut down for that purpose.

> If you have read any of their investor note, meetings, They have been extremely conservative, and executing to perfection

Why do you privy somebody like investors to your most important strategies?

While they were a company with reputation of squeezing out everything from a given node, they truly shifted focus to HPC and top of the cream orders now for sub-40nm market.

Anything below 40nm other than the latest node is not getting anywhere near as much attention from them as when they were a "mainstream" fab.

This is the most logical strategy now because there are very few companies in the whole world with money for sub-40nm tapeouts. It makes sense to keep these clients captive at all costs, to not to let competitors any part of this very small pie.
Perhaps it was to enlist the unemployed. Lots of people losing jobs because of the epidemic + need for hospitals to mitigate epidemic effects = build hospitals?
A comparison I would look to here are historical economic recoveries, after near-complete destruction of physical capital, e.g. Germany and Japan in 1946.
probably because we do it all the time in satire, and we got desensibilized to that.
> Science tends to converge when looked at over the longer term.

Evolution. String theory. Scientists really converges 100%.

> There is no limit to the number of un-scientific things one can find in religion

M-theory. String theory. 2 theories unprovable with the scientific method. So there's at least 2 un-scientific things eating at the table of (scientific) science as we speak. Some scientific scientist hold them close to their hearts, even though their very unscientific. More unscientific than miracles.

> Miracles, Heaven, Hell, virgin births in humans and so on

Why can't miracles happen? Basic definition of miracle is an event that cannot be predicted by observed law governing similar events. It doesn't mean miracles can't happen. Arithmetic law of addition says that $1 + $1 = $2 (and it remains so indefinitely), assuming the thief doesn't pass by. If they do, $1 + $1 will be equal to how much money they left you. It doesn't mean the law of addition is unpredictable; it means it only governs normal events.
I'll disagree on that.

Search and mobile are way too strategic to be dropped. There's no "there" anywhere else for a company as big as Microsoft!

They can lose $3B/yr for a long, long time!
We don't need to throw the baby out with the bath water. We just need to make sure government doesn't get too much power. This doesn't have anything to do with Google or Apple (they can't put you in jail).
I think he is referring to sending it to the browser as MIME type application/html+xml, which causes the browser to throw up an ugly error page on any markup error. This idea was quickly abandoned since a tiny mistake could cause your entire site to be broken.

Or possibly he is referring to actually validating XHTML, since errors often reported by the validator do not matter as far as rendering goes. If this is the case, I personally disagree: validate your damn HTML.
Skimming this just makes me sigh.
I'm not sure, because I haven't tried it, but: assume the markup and scripts are locked down, and you're only offered CSS as a means to theme a site's look & feel – how then would the SVG markup get on the page? Such was the case for our customers' sites at the company where I made this: everyone got the same markup in their widget, and changing that (for example, to add some SVG elements) was a more involved release process than just updating their CSS overrides.
Man sorry to say but all your comments are completely wrong.

- Social distancing does not exist in large cities like osaka and Tokyo. And that's a lot of people. Try to take a train at any time of the days and see if you can keep more than 10cm apart from anyone else. Good luck.

- Masks: there's no masks sold anywhere as we speak. And that's been a month already.

- Washing hands: more common than in other countries maybe, but I still see lots of guys who dont even rinse their hands after taking a piss. Both old and young.

- Listen to government: laughable claim. The government has been asking for social distancing and still in my neighborhood I can see parents and kids going together to play in parks with no care whatsoever.

- Elders in society? Ever heard of filled up nursing homes? yes, that is a thing in Japan.
There won't be a safety net anywhere if they require everyone to be quarantined for 18 months. The government can print money by changing a number in a computer, but they can't print sandwiches that way. Eventually dumping money into the economy where very little is being produced just leads to runaway inflation.
I don't know anything about this topic yet, but just reading their denial raises red flags for me before I even start reading the Politico article.

> Schmidt Futures staff had no authority to make any policy decisions and did not do so through OSTP, and the story presents no evidence or examples to the contrary.

Isn't this a clear misdirection? Nobody is accusing them of having "authority" (they're not the government!), but "influence". It's denying a nonexistent (and
nonsensical) accusation, which is never a good sign. Right?
This is also the reason we have the convention in Scala as well - the inference to partially apply the type works in a certain way. But I agree with the parent post, a more descriptive name would be better.
I've read some non-mainstream theories that economies based on cash accounts and equity-only investments are possible. Some would argue that equity-only investment arrangements are better for society, as they align interests between capital and production in a way that recourse interest lending cannot.

You can already see some fintech startups attempting equity-based home "loans", in which the "lender"'s lien is on a percentage of the future sale value of the home, not a fixed dollar amount. It will be interesting to see how this develops.

I'm not sure how financing on consumer debt like credit cards and non-commercial vehicles would work, though. Perhaps discouraging consumer profligacy would be a feature, however, not necessarily a bug.
I don't actually understand. Things can't lose any more than 100% of their value. What do you mean by 250%? Do you mean inflation was at a 250% rate?
> will inevitably in aggregate lead to a tiny minority owning virtually everything.

I’m not convinced. Perhaps this is the case with a permissive central bank encouraging consumer credit.
Who, in your opinion, are "the gatekeepers/editors of legacy corporate media outlets"?
Fair enough, I think there are other interesting considerations, chiefly and overall decline in journalism quality.
Denmark also just got a “drivers license”-app that is valid everywhere in the country. You only need to bring your physical card when you travel. Our healthcare social security (national id) card is on the way as an app as well. Oddly enough the drivers license is that much more important as it’s one of the only widely accepted photo-ID (except for passports) that we got.
I do happen to work writing low-level device drivers, and I do work remotely. The hardware engineers are always one click away from me. I can give them access to my machine with another click on the machine reservation system. It is very much possible and viable to have everything remote.
Neither is not thinking about these things. If you only ever think of yourself, how is that an any more justifiable position than "over thinking" these things? I don't think feeling guilty and the victim mindset are different side of the same coin. It is much easier to feel guilty for not having suffered through something like rape than the actual victims of rape.

I'm often reminding of the saying, "All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing."

Clearly there are two sides and somewhere in the middle is ideal. Question is, where do you feel that middle is?
Maybe because of this?

Except `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` is not the ISO 8601 date format, `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS` is (note the T). Replacing the T with a space is a RFC3339 extension.
Sorry that should have said one binary per node really, not per service (though it is one binary per service, just on a few nodes for redundancy and load).

Services behind a load balancer so one node at a time replaced then restarted behind that, and/or you can do graceful restarts. There are a few ways.

They're run as systemd units and of course could restart for other reasons (OS Update, crash, OOM, hardware swapped out by host) - haven't noticed any problems related to that or deploys and I imagine the story is the same for other methods of running services (e.g. docker). As there is a load balancer individual nodes going down for a short time doesn't matter much.
Let's say we are able to do this. Would we have any security concerns to be addressed?

Yes, I have seen this, but it is unusual, and the doorbell transformer is still outputting AC, not DC, but at a lower voltage, and that output is not run inside the breakerbox.
Yeah that's the other thing. A lot of shops and agencies close at 5pm, so if your come in to work at 10am and work until 6pm? Everything is closed once you leave, good luck getting anything done after work.
Sounds like a nice reliable experience to me, thanks for sharing your experience on it.

If I hear more reports like this I might just have to try out GKE :)
> Proportional enrollment based on race?

Yes.

“Antiracist” doesn’t mean “not racist”; it’s a Marxist ideology focusing on racial identities and purposeful systemic racism to “balance” the power between racial tribes.

It’s extremely racist.

Anti-Asian racism will become normalized as long as “antiracism” is part of the Democratic agenda. They’re literally fighting to overturn civil rights laws in CA and WA so the government can discriminate based on race again.
Wouldn't it be more efficient in this case to have the startup sell share options directly to the investment market, and use the funds to pay their employees?

This model of paying employees in options, then having traders offer to liquidate those for cash, puts risk on the person who can least afford it out of the three parties involved - the employee.
I think lots of enterprises still have IE only policy and we certainly see that with Visual Website Optimizer (whose complex visual designer works even on IE 7). I would certainly not risk discounting IE 6-8.
You completely missed the point of the article. "Trusted computing" is back with a vengeance. The fact that your computer runs complex firmware (your coprocessor's firmware can run a webserver?) which bypasses anything above it is the problem. It means you don't own your computer anymore: your overlords grant you the right to use it under certain conditions.
Hasn't this been the case like forever (at least for the past two years)?
SOLID is one of my pet peeves, because the important thing is to know the basic principles and architect it ok, naming be damned.

(Not to mention they are, in essence, very subjective principles)
> How so?

Imagine there is a machine connected to someone and that if a button is pressed, the mahcine will kill the person it is connected to.

If the person who it is connected to presses the button, this is suicide. The assisted portion is that someone else has created and connected the machine, but it is still suicide because the machine cannot kill the person without the button being pressed.

If someone else presses the button, it is something other than suicide. In the case that the act of killing the person is classified as an "act of mercy", then it could be classified as euthanasia.

The article uses these two phrases as if they are interchangeable, but they are conceptually quite different.
> It's sad that a basic element of computing is now considered a privilege people need to pay for.

Just like it's sad that being asked to pay the creator and service provider is now something we need to write whole articles to whine about.

How do you thing we'll get rid of personal data tracking and collection if you don't even want to pay a pittance for service you're using?
Thank you for replying. That's great to know. But I don't know SQL, as yet. Can you help me with steps to learn and master SQL to your suggestion.
I did about 0.1% of the amount of research you did a few years ago and was really struck by the irreversibility of mistakes. Other engineering domains can have irreversible (e.g. fatal) mistakes as well, but they don't have as many enthusiasts jumping in to the field.
Are static site generators only for small sites? E.g. if there is a site with 100,000 pages and the site owner wants to change something in the template (adding something to the sidebar, or footer, etc.) then does he have to regenerate and redeploy all the 100,000 pages every time when he makes a global change?
It doesn't strictly have to be that. The prepaid/debit/credit/charge card w/ NFC one uses to enter the premise can be the one that's charged against when one leaves. The card issuer can notify you of the charges once Amazon posts them. Amazon can verify for card-fraud as they already have tracking hardware installed.
You should submit a complaint to the State Attorney General of the state you live in, the state(s) the company operates out of, and the state the company is incorporated in.
I’m beginning to think drawing straws is more fair.

Just like math/science, your initial conditions set your future course in life. If our goal is to provide equal opportunity than we can’t overlook that.

In a different time, the fact that the wealthiest people went to the best schools and ended up with the best positions and highest paying jobs would have been taken for granted. We now try to sell ourselves as a meritocracy, but this meritocracy is easily gamed with wealth.

Furthermore, there may be a “gifted” few who are born with natural talents and abilities. But these few are still relying on chance of the right conditions at their birth.

The last group that we aspire to reward are those that in spite of poor initial conditions and no innate talent succeed through hard work and determination. However is this a valuable goal? It would disadvantage those born in better circumstances which is no fault of those individuals. We harm some to better others, which is ethically problematic.
> he went in, brought war with him, history books have people flying city when his army is comming and he blew the castle. So basically the history is only the negative, because foreign army matching through country means hunger and violence.

Not just that, but you also gotta remember his failed invasion of Russian Empire.

He got cocky, went all-in, didn't realize how brutal winters there were, and didn't expect that Russian generals were more than willing to set their own cities/towns on fire just to not let Napoleon capture them. So in the end, he had to retreat back to France during winter. Which not only marked his invasion as a complete failure, but also humiliated him on top of it by making him lose a ton of his soldiers on the way back due to the weather.
Copyright rules are darn near equal everywhere now with Trump’s trade deals, although, I don’t know that there was really any pushback on that.
if it’s one employee yes. if you’re going to be basically liable every time you fire someone it’s not worth it.
The only prescription this article appears to make is "Positive Construal" -- thinking of potentially traumatic events as opportunities for growth, learning, and forming tighter social and community bonds seems to prevent them from becoming actually traumatizing.
> But moving my hand to the mouse and clicking multiple buttons while typing new file names and dragging my mouse over pieces does take a lot of flow out of the session.

I don't understand why people equate IDEs with mouse interaction. All major IDEs, from Emacs to VisualStudio, have key combinations for anything you can do. It's fair to say some key combinations are better in one program than another, but there is no reason to imagine that using an IDE means you must also use a mouse. The mouse is always an extra option, not a requirement.

And there are code modifications that an IDE can do for you cheaply at the press of a key that would take hours of tedious, error-prone manual work, even with fancy vim fingerwork. Even the lowly 'Extract Function' already can save a good half an hour for more complex cases. And modern IDEs offer things like passing a parameter down through a long call stack in all places (a calls b calls c calls d calls f, and now you want a variable in a to become a parameter in f), with guaranteed 0 manual intervention. Or extracting an interface out of a class and patching all callers.

Not to mention all of the code exploration options, such as IntelliJ's 'Dataflow to here', which finds all of the code which is responsible for a variable's value throughout your entire program (or the dataflow from here operation, which finds how a value set in this function is used further down the call stack), stopping only at IO (so if a.foo() reads a value from a file and stores it in a field that is read in a.bar() which puts it in a dictionary, where it is read by baz() which adds 7 to it and prints it out, you can ask for dataflow to the variable being printed and it will find that it was read from some file in a.foo()).
Game environments usually means there aren't significant real-life consequences, so it's totally plausible that most people would pick the cheating-allowed game for just more fun and entertainment.

When actual jobs and lives are on the line, and the penalty for losing requires most of the participants to give up your basic human needs (such as most of low-income wage workers, they don't have any fallbacks when they get scammed and go under), then things are going to be much different.
