I'm not sure what you are arguing? There's an entire generation of people (baby boomers) who were born post WW2 in a period of extremely high birth rates due to favorable economic conditions created by the war - minimal unemployment, economic expansion due to government spending, and increased spending on housing and education due to the GI Bill.

Shouldn't have to be a pain? Browser plugin to paste content to editor window. Then something that runs the document its pasted into when you've read it?

However, copy, paste, (save as a script|paste in terminal), run isn't exactly the most strenuous task in the history of man either. So it'd be a fairly meaningless chain of plugins for close to zero benefit.
Because ideology doesn't get work done. This is an example of making the perfect the enemy of the good. I assume you've been ignoring GPUs for years because you don't work in a problem space where you can leverage their power. Lots of other people however are in those spaces getting work done.

That's why people want Unconditional Basic Income. Conditional, with lots of complex conditions, is what we have now as welfare, and while often helpful, it's also very often dehumanizing.
What may derail this is the proposal to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule II.[1] That makes marijuana a prescribable drug. This makes it insurance-reimbursable, but distribution is through the usual chain for addictive prescription drugs, with non-renewable prescriptions for specific quantities and reporting to the DEA. This would make it more available for medical purposes, but less available for recreational purposes.

First, the rendering does not show a lane of parking, so Van Ness is going from 3 lanes to 2.

Second, current bus traffic on Van Ness makes it effectively 2 lane for car traffic. The lane nearest to the sidewalk has a stopped bus every few blocks, and there's lots of inefficiencies with cars getting stopped, then waiting for an opening to get around the bus. Making the lane dedicated will not decrease car throughput significantly,while simultaneously increasing transit throughput for the busses.

Third, a temporary slowdown does not stop BRT from being rapid all the rest of the time.

BRT is an inexpensive way to increase throughput on existing infrastructure. Though I would heavily support subway, BRT will improve transit much sooner.

Finally, BRT can easily coexist with subway, and will likely be used heavily when subways finally do get built. So opposing the near-term improvement does not damage longer term possibilities for improvement.
Dude, not even. When I worked in the Valley I went to the THC doctor's office with a whole backstory about how I work for a big tech company and I drank to handle the stress etc.

When I got there I was given a medical form to fill out. The third page actually asked why I wanted medical marijuana. I simply wrote "anxiety" and figured I'd explain it later. Then I got the call that the doctor was ready to see me. I gave him the form, he flipped straight to the third page, then said:

"Hmm...anxiety...when you go to the dispensary, you're going to want to ask for Indica."
Not the ones I work for. And usually not the ones that my competitors work for either, DD is taken pretty seriously as a rule, including the tech portion. The VCs that don't take it serious end up getting burned and it doesn't take many of such cases to really wreck your returns. That's what makes this case so interesting. Either this thing works and nobody has figured out even the basics or a fairly large number of well-known names will end up with lots of egg on their collective faces.

Yes, we are. The thing is that they've got to freeze $40M+ which probably is everything after what he spent.

The reason for this is that money is fungible. I can choose to spend from stolen assets or my original assets. Thus, it makes no sense to think of some as "tainted" and other funds as "untainted" which is something you will also see the justices question in oral argument. There's no sense in rewarding someone for spending the stolen money first, which is the only thing the rule being proposed would accomplish.

That's the same reason they've repeatedly rejected the idea, as also is mentioned repeatedly in oral argument by both the liberal (Kagan) and conservative members of the Supreme Court.

Thanks for editorializing the title...?
Yes, due to convenience (and app limitations). I want to be able to open an incognito window, do a search, and close the tab and have all history wiped. In iOS Chrome, because the least unacceptable search engine option is Google, this means history is actually tracked due to the HTML5 local storage issue. I could work around this by opening an incognito window, typing duckduckgo.com, and then doing a search but that's extra effort. In iOS Firefox, DuckDuckGo is a search engine option, so it avoids the issue without requiring extra effort.
Like many Unix commands, if you don't give cat any files to read, it reads from stdin instead. So first he runs the command (as he typed it), and then while cat is waiting for input he pastes in whatever he copied from the website.

Another handy convention is the magic "-" filename (which is not actually a file). Many tools interpret that to mean stdin/stdout. For example here is a trick to copy a tree of files:

tar cf - src | (cd dest && tar xvf -)

Or we're going the roundabout way towards it. First perfect the art of indoor culture, then send the thousand year traveling seedships (and not have them collapse under a massive psychological problem). First de-sensitize humans as a species to survive inside artificial cubes, to be culturally indoctrinated to communication and co-ordination through tiny screens - then, when the entire planet is basically psychologically fit to survive inside sealed containers doing nothing but eating processed foodstuffs and play multiplayer online games for a thousand generations then pack the hardiest of them inside containers and chug the towards the nearest star with an earth like world.
There's a pretty big difference between communicating in and about the present vs. communicating about the past. I think what you've identified is the beginning of a distinction between those two activities in the technologies we use.

My grandparents have a large collection of photos, each captioned with the year, location, and the reason the photo was taken. Looking through these photos is a great experience because it's a curated history of their lives. For better or worse, the practice maintaining photo collections in that manner has been made obsolete by technology. The equivalent now is to upload everything and have technology curate it for you, filtering out the mundane and saving the important or otherwise memorable content. That's what the Facebook timeline attempts to do, and it's a feature missing from the other social applications you identified.

I don't think it's a failure of Twitter or Snapchat that they lack curated timelines, though. That's not their purpose. They are aimed squarely at communicating at and about the present. If they do take over in-the-present communication from Facebook, though, then Facebook will have a hard time constructed the curated timeline.

All that being said, I don't use any of them.
It could just be my experience, but I have very rarely seen a non-white person working at an In-N-Out.

You missed Ruthenium. Rus' and Russia are not really same, but well, they stole that name long time ago.

>The Baltic German scientist Karl Ernst Claus discovered the element in 1844, and named it after Ruthenia, the Latin word for Rus'
That's basically true. Technically you can meet these requirements by exploiting the false negatives loophole, but if the data structure can ever report that it contains a size M element, it will need O(M) space.
Are you sure it keeps localstorage? I was under the impression that passwords from normal mode were shared because that's a "meta" feature of the browser rather than part of the API web pages use, but localstorage and cookies weren't.

I actually used to do a fair bit of work involving embarrassingly parallel algorithms on floating-point numbers - audio & video synthesis stuff. My last project was a little language/compiler system built around vectorization. I stopped working on these problems after it became clear that GPUs were now the best way to accomplish them. I thought I'd wait a year or two and get back into it after the relevant documentation came out. It's been over a decade and I'm still waiting. Fortunately, there are plenty of other interesting problems to work on.

Ideology may not get work done, but secrecy also prevents work from getting done. I can't continue with the line of work I was pursuing back then as long as the relevant interfaces are wrapped up in a binary blob.
This is properly viewed as a bug in bash (and most other shells). Shells can tell terminals to do "bracketed paste": the start and end of a pasted block is marked with escape sequences. The correct behavior is to use bracketed paste, and to treat newlines inside pastes as multiline text input, not as a ready-to-execute signal.

Apparently that hasn't happened because of compatibility problems with broken terminals, plus perhaps a bit of work that no one's stepped up to do. If anyone wants to tackle this, the GNU readline library would be the place to do it.
New Nvidia Jetson tx1 devkit
See my response to karlmdavis - my original comment was poorly phrased.

I'm assuming they would work harder not because they were happy and motivated by getting a longer vacation, but because the firm might go out and hire someone who would put in the extra work due to the oversupply of labor and the undersupply (and shrinking due to automation, mismatched skills) of jobs.
As someone who develops high-performance systems and is continually learning, I think this is a fantastic idea!

Honestly, something that seems desperately needed as that knowledge is currently spread out among hundreds of thousands of blog posts, forums and threads -- diamonds in the rough.

I'm going to try to get something published on gumroad (and open-sourced on github) in this vein, if you're interested let me know and I'll reach out when it's done :)

"there never was selection pressure favouring people who thrive well into old age and age in supreme health on any chow or fodder without suffering severe degeneration and disease"

Can you back that up? Actually having living healthy grand-parents can be a boon to reproductive success: they can take care of kids, while parents are out hunting or gathering. So yes, if you have genetic mutations favoring living old enough to be grand-parents, it is subject to selection pressure.

Plus, it's been a while since we started caring for old people. In that context, because evolution is all about context, having healthy elderly is also a boon to reproductive success since it doesn't divert resources from child care to elderly care.

Any genetic mutation that is expressed and results into higer reproductive success in a specific context is subject to selection.

I'll be honest that a major reason I stopped watching cable. I use to freak out because of the frequency of ads. Intro to the show? Followed by an ad.
I understand the length of ads but constantly interrupting the show is what upset me much more. I'd rather watch 7 minutes of ads at once then 7 1 minute ad segments.

Now I never worry about it because of Netflix. If only I could get rid of Ads for podcasts.
Perot: Cyber Threat Underscores Safety of Owning Land
That was almost exactly like the real state bubble of every other country by the same time. Our just took a little longer to blow.

It has absolutely no relation to how a market would react to BI. Home loans are targeted, BI isn't; home loans are granted for buying expensive goods, it should be very hard to buy anything expensive with BI.

Too bad that you brought our experience with real state loans, instead of our experience with guaranteed income (biggest in the world), what is somewhat similar to BI, and could teach some good lessons. Fact is, people that choose to rely on guaranteed income moved to the poorest regions of the country. It would be great to see some data about how those regions fared.
I think you're right, psychosomatic is a better way to think about it. They are intrinsically linked. I also think microbiota plays a big part, which would be physical. Although apparently some research suggests the brain does have an effect on microbiota. I think from a treatment point of view the physical is often discounted far too much.

Its not just commuting to work, its everything that comes with living close to things. Socializing is easier, there is more to do, more variety of restaurants and small businesses, better access to services (medical, government, library, etc), and world class entertainment. I'm within walking distance to most things I need even.

I just don't understand why people would want to live in the suburbs over living in the country or the city. To me, the burbs are isolating and depressing; they are cultural waste lands. I don't have to to drive everywhere, or maintain a car and thus I am saving another few thousand dollars every year, its fiscally a no brainer to live in the city.

if you are going to be a hermit, better off doing it in the country.

There were a few annoyances with Safari that I never really liked such as the inability to search for text within the page. In verifying whether this is still an issue, I managed to locate the "Find on Page" option hidden in the "Send to" menu, clearly something I never expected. Safari also used to hide the contents of the page as you edited the URL bar, something which is now fixed and I notice you can use that to find text in the current page as well. And now that I look into Firefox further, I don't see how I can search for text within the page here either and Firefox hides the page contents when you edit the URL.

Looks like I'll be giving Safari another try.
no but if you change the user agent of the wget to the same one the curl uses, it would be much harder to figure out the differences.
Eh, it sounds like Athens had systems in place to deal with these problems. With cause you could remove people from office and there was some sort of test to determine if you were eligible for the office at all. Their tests for citizenship (which was the only test that mattered for putting yourself up for election) were bigoted, I don't see any reason to hold them up as useful.
We use a totally separate WKWebView process pool and WKWebViewConfiguration for Private Browsing.

From the perspective of the underlying web engine, we're two separate browsers.
To be fair, there is a reasonably transparent way to get around it. It's less convenient than typing "sudo" before a command, but it's not the same as having to bypass DRM or some other scheme that's truly designed to prevent you (the person) having access.

What I worry about is my ability to keep up with the details of what I can do when and whether this is a trend that will get worse.
No. Totally possible to serve the "bad stuff" only some of the time.

Browser exploit kits commonly will return different stuff depending on user agent, and will track what IPs they have interacted with so that if after someone clicks the link you try to look at it, you'll get something harmless. Nasty business. The only way to be sure is to save it, inspect what you saved (make sure you use something that will show tricky escape sequences trying to hide things), then maybe run it.

1) Only Chinese people buy from Alibaba.

The analysis points out that based on the quoted numbers the transaction volume exceeds Visa global peak traffic by about 3x. If a significant fraction of that volume was originating outside of China it would be a household name in major markets.

2) They'd need some sort of huge fulfillment centers a la Amazon.

The point is that even if Alibaba doesn't directly own or operate fulfillment and logistics they still need to be handled by somebody. If those fulfillment and logistic solutions are productive they are going to be capital intensive and would require more investment capital than Amazon and UPS combined. If they aren't productive they are going to be labor intensive and going to require a multiple of staff of those two companies combined.

Personally I think the analysis is well thought out. Assuming that the numbers aren't completely fabricated from whole cloth the only way that I can reconcile the numbers are:

1) Alibaba's logistic is massively localized and peer to peer. That means that almost all packages are moving a few blocks. Basically, packages of take out from the local shop.

2) Alibaba's transaction volume is mostly digital goods such as virtual flowers, music, etc. Not likely based on what goods are listed.

3) Alibaba is a trading platform. Gambling, currency exchange, commodities, etc. In that case Alibaba serves as a trusted intermediary. At that point transaction volume would be better compared against the NYSE than Visa or Amazon.

Personally I think the third option is most likely which would dramatically limit Alibaba's ability to monetize those transactions and it's valuation.
> Unfortunately this doesn't work. You still tend to get downvoted into oblivion.

No, it does work; if it didn't, I wouldn't have more than 20K Karma, often with highly upvoted posts disagreeing with posts that are also upvoted (or at least not downvoted), including from people who are higher on the leaderboard.

The idea that you get downvoted to oblivion simply for disagreeing with the majority regardless of quality on HN (whether it comes from people who describe the majority as politically right-libertarian or leftist, or pro-FSF, or those who describe it as pro-Apple, pro-Microsoft, pro-Google, or anti- any of those things -- and I've seen it from every possible side of all of those, except I don't think I've seen anyone accuse HN of having an anti-HN downvote-to-oblivion majority) is simply wrong.

Depending on basically random factors (who is reading when) posts on controversial topics that make substantial points well may occasionally get early downvotes for disagreement, but usually that gets overwhelmed, or at least neutralized, by positive votes very quickly.

Initially at least, this process would not be competitive with methods such as reverse osmosis for large-scale seawater desalination. But it could find other uses in the cleanup of contaminated water, Schlumpberger says.

But it could help to make portable desalination modules:

Unlike some other approaches to desalination, he adds, this one requires little infrastructure, so it might be useful for portable systems for use in remote locations, or for emergencies where water supplies are disrupted by storms or earthquakes.
