Brooklyn's population density is ~37k ppl/sq mi. This is not incomprehensibly dense.
Branches can also be shut down when the use of physical cash in society tapers off. This is already happening here in Sweden - bank offices here is increasingly only used for managing accounts and lending money.
I agree, but I think some densification will help increase demand for that, especially for biking/pedestrian infrastructure. Even in famously bike-friendly cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen, biking is mostly a medium-distance thing: the vast majority of bike commuters live in the range of 1-5 miles from work, not 15. So getting a lot of people living within 5 miles of their office is a precondition for having a significant portion of people even interested in the existence of bicycle infrastructure. One way to do that given the current Valley layout is to really densify the axis from Mountain View to Palo Alto. (Unfortunately, I suspect Palo Alto is not going to be at all on board with that.)
SF's rent control only applies to buildings built prior to 1979, so rent control is not what's stopping developers from building new apartment buildings.
I'm pretty sure my blog post with a long polling tutorial was one of those. Glad to see someone improve on the idea and turn it into a lib!

I don't know too much about badusb, but I think some mitigation is possible.

1. Use an USB key that doesn't have an updateable firmware.
2. Configure the laptop to only accept a single USB mass storage device on a dedicated port. No keyboard, no mouse. I should be possible with udev rules.
Didn't say I did it manually, yes I use bill pay in this case and when I can. But, paying robots to print, mail, and deliver checks is still ridiculous when the internet exists. Not to mention the other end where the guy (I send them to a guy) deposits them.

Just because famine no longer exists doesn't mean people aren't having to worry about putting food on the table. In the UK over a million people had to visit emergency food banks last year[1], compared to only 125,000 in 2012. Hospitals are seeing such levels of malnourishment that they have started discreetly giving away food parcels to patients[2]. It's estimated that up to 40% of patients admitted to UK hospitals are malnourished and the number of people admitted to hospital specifically because of malnutrition has risen dramatically in the last year.

If you are wanting to suggest that this is due political decisions rather than a famine or overall lack of food then yes that is true, but it doesn't change the fact that there are a lot of people in the UK struggling to feed themselves and their children.

What's happening in Asia or Africa isn't particularly relevant to the level of political engagement in the UK, which is what this discussion is about. That fact that things are getting worse in the UK while improving in much poorer countries just makes the situation even less excusable.

> Why does everyone run to websockets even when they only need server-to-client pushing? Probably because it's difficult to get longpolling right.

Definitely not. Longpolling adds a huge amount of overhead when messages are sent relatively frequently. For each longpoll request, the client needs to send all the headers and cookies every time. Each response includes all headers and connection setup. A websocket connection has zero overhead after the initial http upgrade. If you have websocket available, you should always prefer websocket to long polling. In most cases where websocket would be blocked by infrastructure, long polling would be forced to retry extremely quickly because of forced timeout.

But it doesn't reach the customers hands until it is delivered. How long does it take to be delivered? never used Door Dash. Does Door Dash care about quality? probably not as long as it is delivered. We know startups will try to grow quick, which in turn can make their services suffer. customers might blame In-N-Out instead of Door Dash (there are crazy people around).
But the clients' stub resolvers don't validate the answers, so how can they notice the lack of a valid signature?

Apple's Developer Root Certificated (Accidentally?) Expired Today
Probably. As a textbook.

But if you look throughout UK history - the only freedoms they really cared about are the strong individual property rights. When property is equal-ish distributed - all the other rights also are. But with property increasingly concentrated ...

So this bills are not unexpected - they don't infringe on anyone's property - so they get a pass from the powerbrokers.

That's just outright untrue. Maybe you have good points somewhere else in your comment but saying such nonsense makes me less inclined to hear you out.
I am not a fan of DoorDash's business techniques. DoorDash sent a flyer to my house false advertising a coupon code. I spent half an hour creating an order only to realize that the coupon they sent me was different from what the flyer said. When I called to complain they acknowledged their error but said they wouldn't do anything and that I should just place an order anyways.
Ask HN: Best resources for browser development?
I want to write a web browser and I have two main goals:

1. Be standard compliant
2. Eventually add support for other interpreted languages (e.g. Python, Common Lisp)

Does someone know books, etc. that deal with the technical side of browsers?

Postgres is going in one direction - for the better. And as a long time Postgres user I've been really happy with it for years. Now with JSONB support I am even happier, as I can build powerful RDBMS + "NoSQL" apps that outperform traditional NoSQL databases.

To my disappointment several members of my team have been championing Oracle recently though - presumably because it's a safer option and can be managed by others under an SLA.

How does one argue against this? With Postgres we're not going to get SLA's because we know it very well, but with Oracle we would. It's mostly perception management IMHO, and I'm mostly against it. What killer core features does Oracle have that Postgres doesn't?
Most of that main pink area is existing Google buildings. Regardless - housing in that area will be awesome. (There are quite a few other companies with buildings in the same area, dotted in with the google buildings.)

I'm really surprised by the number of negative comments. Data hosted in Germany won't be accessible to Microsoft US nor the US government. So that's one problem solved.
If the German government can access that data so what? Do you really expect to escape from that? Keep your data in house if you care about privacy that much. Most of German companies offering services to German customers now can say "your data is stored in your country" thanks to Microsoft.
Then if the European government can snoop in, what do you expect MS to do? That's a problem that the German gov needs to address, a government elected by people.
And again, no one is forcing you to be "in the cloud".

I thought so too when I moved to a "transit oriented development" area near Caltrain. 2 years later there have been zero bike and pedestrian improvements, and things have gotten even worse when construction has closed one sidewalk and blocked a bike lane and new construction has blocked the safest path to the nearby Caltrain station -- plus, construction workers have placed their "No Parking" signs in the middle of the sidewalk, and calls to the city have not changed that.
My school blocks all protocols except for HTTP and HTTPS. However they actually MITM HTTPS connections (I have to install a root certificate from them) so they can decrypt and see everything people do. So unfortunately typical TCP proxies don't work, even on port 443 as their transparent proxy makes the handshake. Instead, I have to put the payload in an HTTP request acting as a download, and another request as an upload, and make an OpenVPN connection over that.
That's most likely because you only hear about the extraordinary. The ordinary cases are just that, ordinary, and justice gets served with little fuss.

Can't you just pay your defense attorney after the trial, guilty or not, whenever your assets are unfrozen?

Assets frozen during trial that aren't linked to any criminal activity can't be permanently confiscated, so your defense attorney can just settle up your bill at the end of the trial, when the assets are unfrozen. Maybe that's not how it works now, but if this happens, then defense firms will have to do their billing this way.

Not ideal and I don't see the point, but how is this a big deal?
I prefer Texas's solution to that problem, which given my leftish politics, doesn't happen that often. :) In Texas, people over 65 can stop paying property taxes entirely, but the taxes are not waived, instead they're just deferred and accrue as a lien on the home. When the home is eventually sold (either by them, or their heirs), the taxes are paid out of the proceeds (the state eats the remainder if the proceeds are less than the back taxes).

This way a retired person never has to move because of an increase in the value of their property making the taxes unaffordable. But if and when it's sold, and they actually realize that gain from the property's value, at that point they do have to pay the taxes. Proposition 13 instead lets them have their cake and eat it too: they pay property taxes as if there were no value increase, but then can sell the property and get a big windfall.
There's probably something illegal about using their logo and displaying a modified menu with marked up prices.
If you've played the game and have feedback to offer, I'd welcome it.

Exploring the game to collect weapons and other resources is explicitly the goal of the game, it's in the game's description, you're graded on it at the end of the game, and there's literally nothing else to do. There's only one "secret" in the entire game, and I wasn't expecting anybody to find it.

And, screw "building reputation". I'm not doing this to get rich or famous. If the game is compelling, people will explore it. This is a game jam game anyway—roughly 50 man-hours of development, barely a prototype. Making prototypes lets me collect analytics and get gameplay feedback, which is the best way out there for developing applied game design skills. But, to be honest, I only do it because the community is so awesome.
Agreed, in my experience (primarily with Coursera and edX, which are admittedly different from Udemy/Udacity in their focus), the recent wave of online courses or "MOOCs" mostly boils down to video lectures being made readily available online. For my purposes, this is just great! The content is often very high quality, and I have yet to pay for a course since so much is available for free.

Exactly. The only real solution is client-side encryption. If the encryption is implemented correctly, it does not matter where it is hosted.
If so, most salesman would be billionaires ?
Do you really expect to escape from that?

Yes. Client-side encryption for cloud storage, end-to-end encryption for instant messaging? Now it does not matter where the servers are.

This is just a show to regain customer trust, but the added privacy is marginal.

Some clients don't validate. Some do. Everything on my home network is protected because my router's instance of dnsmasq validates. When I'm away from home, there's dnssec-trigger and a Firefox extension.

All good points. I don't think we can take text out of it completely but I think we can take it farther then having to write classes and functions at least for 95% of what needs done.

As for GUI designers you might be right it was one of the last things I had thought about. They are hard to use sometimes but they could at least get you as far as wire framing and an idea of the UI.

"...concerns around quality, food handling and safety."

I completely understand. I used DoorDash exactly once to order from a local Chinese restaurant. The food was delivered by a dude who looked disinterested, and the containers were crushed and leaking lots of brown sauce into the plastic bag. It wasn't a great experience. Whose fault was it? I dunno. But I haven't ordered from DoorDash or that Chinese restaurant since.

I think Apple could build a tremendous P2P service based on your comments. But it's never going to be the platform lock in they desire because if we really do have meaningful broad adoption of P2P only cross platform offerings will work.

Of course it could; for a growing number of people, the combination of Apple Pay, Touch ID and the iOS eco-system is already creating lock-in. If Apple were to create a P2P payment service that was secure and dead simple to use--kinda like Apple Pay--it would become the leading way to pay on the iPhone in a week or two.

Looking at the latest 10K, Apple sold over 400 million iPhones the past 2 fiscal years. Yes, that's a relatively small percentage of the global cell phone market, but that puts them at around 44% (and growing) in the US, so they could easily create an iPhone-only payment service if they wanted to. Even something that leveraged the fact that all Apple Pay users have at least one debit card in their Wallet app that could be used to send and receive payments.

Apple of course has the huge advantage of being the platform vendor and being able to make their payment app available to hundreds of millions of potential users literally overnight with a software update. None of these other guys--Venmo, PayPal, Square Cash--can do anything like that. And among these companies, Apple is likely to be way more trusted, especially among the 40 and 50 year-olds who not only have never heard of Venmo but wouldn't trust it with their payment information. Apple doesn't have that problem.

Edit: I wrote about other Apple advantages in an earlier post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10550853
You're probably right. Plus I wasn't exactly fair in comparing a population of 300 million to one of 20 million. But where I come from 'going by the book' usually results in the guilty going free, not the innocent getting screwed. IANAL, but I wonder whether this is due to some difference between US law and Roman-Dutch/British law?
It'd be great if they even did the build housing stage but they don't even allow housing development for fear it will bring congestion to the streets... for which they can't build mass transit because there isn't a dense enough pop... because they won't build more housing.

The Camino has the width to allow an underground subway as well as dedicated bike lanes (barriers between car and bike traffic) in both directions. A subway would take enough cars off the road that eliminating two car lanes for bikes would result in no impact to car congestion.

Given its width they could do open trench construction to reduce building costs --the widths also means there are no nearby building they need to support and prop up during construction --only the roaddeck.

> You still have to revert to XCode for that crap that is Interface Builder

> A DS record doesn't indicate a connection between an organization and a domain though, which a traditional CA supposedly might.

Only if you get an EV certificate, no? My understanding is that the only checks required for getting a normal certificate issued is to verify that the person holding the key that you're signing is in control of the domain. (Verified through methods such as setting particular DNS records, proving control of the email on the WHOIS data, or setting up an HTTP server at a particular DNS address.)

Then again, most sites just use a basic cert, so perhaps DNSSEC provides most of what is needed.
Neutrinos are made out of 6 prisms and they normally decay into 4 prisms. Those build up the grid structure of our vacuum.

I asked my old logic professors, but did not get an answer...
First, for this to even remotely have a chance, it must mean that every wealthy defendant must have their asset frozen, which isn't under consideration (or going to happen, and I think it is for the best that it wouldn't).

And even if it would - wealthy defendants are likely to have "attorney fund pacts" - I'll fund your lawyer if your assets are frozen, if you'll fund mine. Or some more general "asset freeze lawyer insurance" practice will arise.

The problem is that the wealthy in the US do not believe that they play by the same rules, nor do they believe they should play by the same rules.
