I don't really believe in trickle-down economics or the magic ability of the free market to correct all social ills, I believe in directly helping those that need it most.

In some cases, "those who need it most" only need it because of the economic environment created by regulation. In many cases, "directly helping" may solve the short-term, immediate concerns of those housing/economically disadvantaged, but doesn't actually serve to fix the problem that's making things the way they are to begin with.

In SF, there's a lot of rhetoric around "market rate housing" and "affordable housing". Presenting it as a dichotomy as such ignores that there are things that could be done to make market rate housing the same price as affordable housing. There wouldn't be talk of "affordable" housing as a distinct thing if "market rate" wasn't so out of whack because of the complex economic and political incentives and setup in California, the Bay Area, and SF.

Another thing that I see frequently glossed over is that "market rate" isn't a single thing. It has different values based the actual quality of the property in question. I'd love to move into a better place at the same rent I'm paying now, because really, my current place is way overpriced considering the quality and I can afford to continue to pay the rate I'm paying. But it's not worth it for me to move because so many places are equal or less quality and equal or more in price. There are no better places coming on the market at this price point. If the economic and political climate was such that the market was able to provide an equal or greater quality place for equal or greater price, that would free up a lesser quality place (because I could move there) and reduce its price to a market rate based on its quality that someone with lesser means could then afford. The availability of residences is a significant contributor to the market rate for residences in SF, so much so that it dwarfs all other possible influences on the market rate.

That being said, I do believe that the market needs to be able to provide a wide range of quality — just building high end housing isn't going to be as fast or as solid of a fix as building housing for many different kinds of economic classes. This is part of the problem around mandates to build "affordable housing" or "subsidized housing" (usually as a percentage of total building): these are, by definition, below market rate, but someone is paying for the difference between "affordable" and "market". That spread needs to be reduced, rather than subsidized.

Well, let's say I'm implementing something like STL's vector. I've got a size (number of elements). What type should it be? Clearly something int-like, but what exactly?

If I make it an int, then on a tiny machine, it might only be 16 bits. That means that the vector can only hold 64K elements. But that's probably OK, because if I'm playing with a chip where ints are 16 bits, it probably doesn't have enough memory, address space, or need to contain more elements than that.

But if I'm on a supercomputer, int might be 64 bits, and vector might need to hold that much. That is, the size of int tends to generally scale in the same neighborhood as the other capabilities of the machine.

If I have to decide how big to make the size of a vector, what size do I pick? int64? That works for the supercomputer people, but it means that an 8051 has to do 64 bit operations to use my vector package. That's... less than ideal.

Christ. Has it ever occurred to these hipsters that factory farming feeds people? It's simple science that conventional farming is the only way to feed 7+ billion (soon to be 9+ billion) people. And referring to slaughtered chickens as "contributed deaths"... This makes me sad because I once had a little faith in this project.

But I am not saying they should move to Ohio, they can move to Eureka, California, or basically any place north of SF. Also any place south of Monterey. Those areas are not dirt cheep, but they are inexpensive compared to SV.

Let's say, for instance, Apple was to open a campus in Eureka, and offer some of it's employees to relocate there and continue to get the same paycheck and work on the same projects. Don't you think a lot of employees might take them up on that offer. I am not saying everyone would, but people with families, who wish to have a house and a back yard, and a dog, and a nice home life, and wish to not have to pay 3/4 of their paycheck to the bank for the privilege, would take Apple up on that offer.

Further more, if you think about it, it might be to Apple or Googles advantage to actually open some remote, out of the way, campuses. This way they can recruit developers who like the out of the way life style (yes there are some) and those developers might be less inclined to jump ship. Maybe they can make 10% more at company X in SV, but they have a nice life, cheep housing, and no traffic, why bother. It could be a good retention tool, and possibly a good recruitment tool.

Now you are being intellectually dishonest. You didn't use the term behavioral analysis in that specific reply. True, you used he word science, but this is irrelevant to the fact that you were dismissive.

Attempting to evade this through being pedantic rather supports my point.
Thank you for the correction. I mis-remembered a minor detail from a lecture that was 9 years ago, and have find/replaced cAMP -> adenosine in the above post. The gist of the post, though, remains the same. That is, caffeine competitively inhibits receptors that gate ion channels, and the mechanism of tolerance is an increase in the concentration of the thing that it competitively binds.

(My thesis was on auditory cognition and I haven't touched ion channel biophysics in that long. I have a long-ago memory that adenosine (now corrected) operated as a retrograde transmitter, though since I'm probably not going to spend my afternoon looking for the citations, I'll delete as well for now. Not because I believe it's wrong, just that I can't immediately back it up.)

Cambria, where I live, halfway between San Francisco LA, is particularly hard hit. Cambria is supplied completely by well water. We had been trying since 2008 to build a desalinization plan, but had been blocked at every turn by the Coastal Commission and other regulatory bodies, because we would have had to dig a pipeline across the beach to get to the salt water. As a result draconian conservation measures were put into place. We were allocated only 50 gallons per person per day. If you exceeded your allotment, you were fined, two periods in a row your water was cut off. There was an immediate 40% drop in water usage. That wasnt enough. Last year with only a 6 months water supply left. The Community Services District decided to build a brackish water treatment plant. Treated water from the sewage treatment plant was to be pumped into the aquifer and withdrawn and treated by a reverse osmosis purification plant. Even then there were a whole bunch of regulatory hassles including that the $3 million plant be used only for the current drought without being recertified again.

EDIT: Cambria is in one of only three Monterrey Pine forests in CA, essentially an urban forest. The drought has exacerbated the pitch canker and beetle infestations. Forty per cent of the pine trees died last year. I lost four of the five on my property. Another four had died earlier. We are in danger of an explosive urban fire like the Oakland hills fire of 1991. One huge problem is the pines are protected. You cannot cut down one without a permit at $125 + $25 for each additional tree, plus restoration requirements. Most lots are small and close together so it may cost up to $2000 to cut down a tree. I had only four and I said screw the permit. But my neighbor has hundreds. It will cost millions to clear out the dead trees in town, but no state or federal grants seem to be forthcoming, but if you dont cut down your trees, after all the red tape, you get fined.

This source (http://udel.edu/~danikoll/metabolism.html) validates your point that caffeine has an indirect rather than direct effect on cAMP:

"Caffeine competitively inhibits phosphodiesterase, the enzyme that degrades cyclic AMP...By blocking the degradation process of cyclic AMP, caffeine indirectly affects regulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinases". TIL.
GDS are doing a great job on this in the UK by building a platform for small companies to pre-register as government IT suppliers, covering everything from phone systems to cloud hosting and bespoke software.

I live in Virginia and I find it difficult to believe that a driver was pulled over for traveling 75 mph in a 70 mph zone. You usually have a 10% or 10 mph buffer between the speed limit and the cop being grassed enough to think that you are worth the trouble. They have plenty of other things to issue tickets for, and they are also engaging in 'profiling' in the hope of finding drugs or money which means more cash or a nice car for their department.

Instead of looking at the law as it limits your freedom to make a judgment call about how you operate the car, look at it instead as supporting your freedom to not have yourself and your family killed on the highway.

You're spending 2-3 hours driving across the state, so why is the 15 minutes you'd save going 75 mph so important? Just set your cruise at 70: I can almost guarantee that you won't get a ticket, and if you do, you will be able to get a speedometer calibration certificate for court.

I'll take one level over two levels. Besides, memorizing that metric fraction is just wrong. Plus, do we really want to go into space with a unit of measure whose origins are tied to the size of the Earth? Let's at least free part of the definition from an Earth-centric bias.

we definitely can see how the average consumer could use this for ill purposes which is why we haven't marketed this product to the public.

We have a public facing product for our personal use and for quality feedback, like that from the HN community ;)

Finding users who will use this software in an quality manner is our main goal, showing that these interstitials can be used to add a lot of value (limited time offers, events, AMA's, periscope/meerkat notifications etc.)

Implementing this product is really easy because we are essentially a short linking service.

1) find a 3rd party article
2) designate what you want display (e.g. landing page, kickstarter page etc.)
3) generate the short link and share it
We can completely white-label the service for large clients.

They occurred at night in an industrial area surrounded by warehouses and container storage lots, so there wouldn't have been many people around. A high percentage of the deaths are unfortunately from fire fighters who showed up to fight a fire that got out of control and led to these explosions.

If Oracle wins (including the inevitable appeals of the final judgment), Google is going to have to either stop using the Java APIs or reach a licensing deal with Oracle (or, I suppose, buy Oracle outright, strip out and keep the IP that is valuable to Google's key strategic efforts -- like, e.g., the Java copyrights -- and then spin Oracle back out and sell it [0].)

A vegetarian diet is i) requires less land and energy, ii) as a result is cheaper and iii) per $ is as nutritious as factory farmed meat. People in poverty eat very little meat. In fact, all meat production and consumption, in addition to factory farming, can be objected to on the further ground that it raises food prices for the poor: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/27/business/worldbusiness/27i.... This is inevitable as meat production is 3-10x less energy and land efficient as eating plant products.

Newer safety regulations definitely help, but at the same time, I almost feel like we're reaching a point where we're at pendulum overswing to some degree.

That biggest change since 2012 has been increased roof strength requirements. This was driven at least in part due to the popularity of top-heavy, rollover prone vehicles.

Meeting these requirements have required cars to get heavier and incorporate massive roof pillars. This negatively impacts gas mileage (relatively minor concern), but, far more importantly IMO, means that nearly every new car out there has awful rear visibility. So we've bandaided that by requiring backup cameras, but those don't help when you're moving in traffic. We've created a situation where most new cars on the road have huge, terrible blindspots by trying to make the cars safer.

Again, better safety is a good thing, i just think that we just need to do a better job of balancing it with the usability of the vehicles.

Talking about growth here is a red herring. The density in that trailer park is probably higher than any residential neighborhood in Palo Alto, and they're replacing ~400 residents with 184 luxury apartments. There will be some increase in density perhaps but not much.

You say if the city were smart it would tear it down and build high rises on the site. But does it make sense? There's a big park nearby with donkeys, sheep, and chicken coops. There's a community orchard nearby as I said. On the other side of Foothill Expressway you've got huge estates and vinyards. But the much higher density housing in Buena Vista must be razed?

I think you're making a larger argument here which is independent of what's going on in this neighborhood. It's certainly a valid point. But you need to separate it from the Buena Vista issue. The controversy is not about growth, it's about whether the people there deserve to live in Palo Alto.

Alright so the first hiccup I rant into was when you sent me a postscript telling me that using WhatsApp or Facebook messenger is a better experience. Well, I wanted better so I started going down that path. Unfortunately, I didn’t know how to do that. Naturally, I asked you.

http://cl.ly/image/3k2U1c0i372d

And that didn’t work. Then I tried clicking on Messenger link on your site.

http://cl.ly/image/0L1L1T3w0F1P

But none of those are links. And then I tried your FAQ.

http://www.getmyra.co/faq

And I didn’t really find it. Messaging ‘Help’ didn’t really help. The problem is probably generational and I’m just too old for that feature, but it might be nice to make it easier for old dummies like me. I did, however, finally figure it out. You go to people in the Messenger app and then you + someone, which prompts for a phone number.

http://cl.ly/image/3g0e2x3Y1z3W

This then sent me down the same signup flow and ultimately told me I can’t reuse the same email address.

http://cl.ly/image/3G0r1C2K2R36

Based on that message, I wasn’t sure whether I type in a new email address or type restart. I try the email first.

You then reintroduce yourself and ask for my first name again. I give it again. And then you ask me for my email again. And do that again. And then you say thanks for signing up and give me that postscript about using Facebook for a better experience.

Unfortunately, I stopped there and honestly, I would have stopped a lot sooner. Please note that you sent me down this route and in the end it didn’t feel like a better experience. In fact, based on what I saw, it doesn’t seem like you know whether I was on FB or not.

Basically, be really careful of your recommendations to users on your signup flow. If you present a fork, you should follow it yourself to see how that changes things. I’m going to come back and play with this some more after I get through some other Show HNs, because I love talking to bots! It looks like you have a lot of feedback already. If I have some more unique feedback, I’ll post it as a reply to here. Thanks!
Definitely that is very simply for us to do.

We actually offer additional branding by being able to give you a custom sub domain to use on the interstitial page.

2) they are taken to the interstitial page which is neverquite.nike.com
3) then they can go to article or nike's site

Any other branding opportunities we might have missed?
