> I think in some ways, an inbox is an appropriate way to consume news

I guess I really don't see any ways in which it is superior (for me, the reader) to a feed reader. I use email to communicate with people, not to consume content. They are such different use cases that I just don't see why it makes sense to have them in the same place.
Um, you can't wave a wand and get more housing. It has to go for a rent, that pays the developer for the construction AND land price including annual property tax. In a high-land-value area, available housing will only be built for those that can afford it. No magic bullet.

> There is absolutely no way to get the same density in an automobile.

How about a double-decker bus? Busses also have the added benefit that they are safer, and since you don't have to pay attention to the road, you can read, crochet, surf the internet, work, sip your coffee, etc., while you commute.
The main thing that is unlike the original hardware is the 128kb memory target and the addition of a mouse. The 64kb era was effectively ushered in with the C64 and 800XL in 1982, but 128kb came a few years later and concurrent with a market shift to 16-bit CPUs. Accessing that much memory on an 8-bit isn't a natural fit for their addressing capability, even though there are several examples of models shipping with it.

(In a lot of ways memory posed a bigger problem than CPU time back then.)

">>Making it easier and faster to approve transit projects."

I moved out of CA, and man alive is it surprising how... corrupt... Caltrans is. I mean, really. In Denver we are building a rail line all the way out to the airport from downtown, something that I got to see start (2011) to finish (granted, spring 2016, but I have no doubts about it) for $1 billion total([2], projected cost) at ~8200 per foot. It's not a subway, so no digging, and the land is cheaper, but all the same. Something like this would be unimaginable in CA to take less than 15 years. The AirBart cost about $29,000 per foot and still costs $6 per ride [0] with a development time of ~30 years([1]data is suspicious though). Yes, it's elevated and in earthquake country, but my god, 29k a foot?! That's 3.5 times the cost per foot than in Denver. I honestly don't see it. Sure, the balance sheets are all likely out there in the public ledger, but honestly, I don't if I can trust them. In the end here, the author of this piece is right, but he misses the issue of corruption that plays into "Showing a willingness to think big." You can think big all you want, but if there is excessive need to 'grease wheels' to get something moving and built, then all the pie in the sky thinking in the world isn't going to do anything without the cash.

> A full van is more space efficient than 12 bikes.

Arguable, but buses are higher density than vans, trains are higher density than buses, and subways aren't subject to traffic.

The bicycle isn't in competition with the subway, it's in harmony with it.

> She'd just share the ride with more people. This is exactly what a subway would do, except without the need for expensive infrastructure.

I don't think if you extrapolated the current ridership of BART just for people traveling within San Francisco that you would find it practical to run buses for all of them, and when a vehicle on the ground during rush hour (including buses) is rarely moving more quickly than a typical pedestrian, the subway has an obvious advantage.

You can try to traffic engineer all day, but the fastest route between two points on earth is through the earth. :)
Only vaguely related, but is it normal for large American cities to completely lack publicly accessible restrooms? I visited Seattle recently, spent a lot of time just wandering around and seeing the sights; it was really alienating that, everywhere I went, you were required to buy something before allowed to ask for the restroom key, like a grade-schooler asking teacher for permission. I'm from Lexington, KY; even those "Restrooms Are For Paying Customers" signs aren't common, and physically locked restrooms are practically unheard of.

And then people complain that homeless folks do their business on the streets. Well, what the fuck else are they gonna do? Eeesh.

It pays vastly more than Test and One Day cricket, has radically shifted the balance between batting attack and defence (including in the One Day Cricket played today) by making strike rates matter more than batting averages, has made superstars of players that would have previously been considered severely lacking in defensive technique, encouraged athletic fielding and made Indian franchises an attractive and lucrative destination for overseas players. And probably made generations of kids grow up not wanting to be bowlers! That's a pretty radical set of changes.
Couple of things:

* Generally, in CA, unless a property changes hands, its annual property tax increase is capped at 2% per year.

* AIUI, SF could waive any property tax increases for residential properties that would have been triggered by flattening the existing structures in order to build much more rental housing. [0]

[0] I'm not convinced that there would be any if the property didn't change hands, but it has been years since I read Prop 13.

Just because I think you'll find this useful (and not because I want to denigrate Node, which I think is great tech, especially with the upgrades in this announcement), have you seen Phoenix[0]? Despite immaturity, I think it is already close to being in Node's league as a back-end for websockets, but seems to have a philosophy you may enjoy more. That is, it reminds me a lot more of Rails and Django than anything in Node. (I also think Elixir is awesome to work with, but that's somewhat beside the point.)

(Beverly Hills native here - been following that pretty closely.)

If you dig a little, it turns out the public "it'll blow up our kids!" hysteria was mostly cover for a desire to have route the subway to benefit the city of Beverly Hills instead of the neighboring mostly-office-space Century City. Blocking the subway entirely was basically political blackmail.

The “wand” here is zoning. All the pale yellow areas in this map are zoned to allow only low density residential, mostly one unit per lot: http://www.sf-planning.org/index.aspx?page=1569

If you re-zone some significant portion of the western and southern 3/4 of San Francisco by zones that allow for e.g. the construction of 4–5 story low-rise apartment buildings (ideally allowing ground floor retail), there will be room for dramatically more housing units to be built.

Developers are currently rushing to build on every bit of available land in SF that allows medium density construction (all the bits of that map that aren’t pale yellow). All of the parking lots, warehouses, and little one-story buildings in such areas are being converted to luxury condos at maximum speed.

With better transit and municipal planning throughout the Bay Area, there are many places where it would be possible to dramatically expand housing stock and bring housing rent down to more reasonable levels.
Thank you very much for this info Mumu.

E. T. Bell [1], a 20th century historian of science writes about the different strains of ancient/medieval mathematics in his book 'Development of Mathematics'. Greek approach to science is roughly represented by Plato and Pythagoras, where they have a disdain for arithmetical computations and a reverence for the beauty of the mathematical proof, particularly in geometry. Mesopotamia/Babylon, India, and China on the other had a more empirical approach to mathematics, with emphasis on arithmetic, number theory, and so on. Obviously, exceptions exist, for example, Archimedes. Greek is the Platonic ideal- math existing in a different realm uncorrupted by the real world, while Babylonian is the mathematics (and beauty therein) of trade and architecture- modeling the real world using mathematics.

Edit: Further, the theory is, when Islamic conquest and the Silk Route connected the west and east through Central Asia and Europe, there was syncretism. In addition to Islamic scholars' rediscovery of the Greek philosophers, they also combined this with ideas from India which via Fibonacci and others made its way to Europe in its new integrated form, right before the Renaissance.

People don't seem to be fleeing SF in droves because of the Trinity Towers project. It's possible to have very-high-density housing and have a desirable city; look at NYC or Tokyo.

Hell, aside from the fact that it becomes a ghost town after regular business hours, many parts of FiDi are really attractive places.

I don't remember how I started with meditation, but it was working in data entry that prepared me for it. Figuring out how to speed up my typing led me to the realization of how the mind is just layers of processes, and how training through repetition is just a matter of setting up a cue/response behavior in sub-conscious processes. Which can be physical (training to hit a baseball or ride a bike) but can just as easily be mental (training to become calm on cue).
I wonder if kids in NYC are also taking trains to school like kids in Tokyo.

With congestion pricing, nothing is subject to traffic.

Buses move slowly because they're stuck in traffic and they stop all the time. Congestion pricing eliminates traffic. Ride hailing apps reduce the number of stops.

Subways are better than buses. That doesn't mean we need subways. We can eliminate traffic all over the city for a much lower price, then we can build more subways when streets packed with full vans aren't enough to move people around.

Frankly, you have to add "luxury" housing, housing for regular people, and housing for low-income folks. Demanding that one form of construction be privileged over the others (or that no "luxury" housing be built, EVER) is a part of what's causing the housing construction logjam in the city.
I don't think it's obvious. Building a subway is extremely expensive and disruptive. And if you went to the citizenry to try and collect the funds directly to pay for it, hardly anyone would buy-in.
alt+control+shift+s brings up the streaming menu while streaming netflix.

From there you can manually select the highest bitrate, so your stream stays in HD - you can also use a different CDN which may have a better cache.

Also, could your ISP be throttling your netflix connections? mine (AT&T) does this regularly, so i use my VPN connection when i stream netflix and have no more issues.

With a mortgage, in some sense you really don't own your own home. You have equity in the home, and the home is collateral on your debt for the home, so until you've payed everything off, the bank owns the home. Equity and Ownership are related, but not equivalent concepts.
Yes, that actually sounds useful.

One of the problems with solutions like the omniscient fridge and printer is that they sound helpful but are not helpful in practice. They could benefit from testing.

Also, a structural issue: the incentives of the manufacturer (buy more stuff) are not aligned with my incentives (eliminate routine tasks).

The practice of locking publicly-accessible bathrooms in businesses was initially a shock to this Alabama refugee. After I spent some time in SF, the reason for the practice became clear.

In the downtown districts of San Francisco that aren't FiDi, there are usually-operational free public toilets. There aren't enough of them, and they too-often out of service, but they do exist.

The ethnic Chinese population in the US have a real problem - they appear to have no political voice. There are few ethnic Chinese political leaders and there are no mass organized protests. The result is that the concerns and needs of the ethnic Chinese population are not met.

Perhaps we can see some kind of political awakening in the second and third-generation Chinese i.e. those who are suing Harvard over racial bias on admissions.

It's a surprise that the ethnic Chinese do not vote majority Republican given that the community are broadly speaking, hard-working and pro-business.

It is 2015 and I think we can get some better examples of aggressive people rather than Herr Hitler.

Also many of these examples could be explained better for people who aren't from a Ruby background. For instance, I think what you are saying applies to Java.

Finally, I think the best analogy that software has to people is that software has needs.

For instance, when I was doing the work to get a 1.5 hour build process down to 20 minutes, I was being asked to explain what benefit the customer got from this.

Well, the length of the build process has a lot to do with if the customer gets the product at all. If the software is going to take care of the customer, it needs whatever it needs t do that.

I authored another Autoit bot: AutoEld. It was shortly after Autoit bots took off due to the Warden making it difficult to run traditional bots, though I don't remember the exact time frame. It wasn't hugely popular, but I had a small following. I stopped working on it when I accidentally updated the build with a configuration file that had my account information in it and someone looted my account. I was so disgusted that the people I was helping by building them a bot would swipe all my stuff, but then I guess I shouldn't have been that surprised considering the target demographic. I don't think I played DII for much longer after that.

EDIT: <strike>It's</strike> Kernel tricks in general are nice because they also generalise well to an infinite dimensional space (the RBF kernel) and compute the dot-products in that space without actually computing the embedding. RBFs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_basis_function_kernel

This is why investors with domain experience are often advantageous. I'll add that underfunding makes it more likely you'll be giving up additional equity in a future round, and spend more energy fund raising.

Good luck.
