In a previous article about crazy rents in SF I argued that increasing supply of housing reduced the price of rent [1], aka, supply and demand. HN commenters went apoplectic. It amazes me how basic economics is so hard for many intelligent people to understand.

The difference between a car and house is the house can't be replaced, a car can.

If someone wants to live in San Francisco, they can't just substitute it by living in Portland. If more people want to live in San Francisco, then the price goes up due to the limited supply.
> P-values are quite intuitive.

Do you agree now that if the null hypothesis is true the p-value is uniformly distributed between 0 and 1? Or do you still think that "if that were true, p-value would be entirely useless"?

In any case, you were completely wrong about p-values a few months ago; maybe they are not so intuitive after all.

> When talking about white privilege, the point is that poor whites are better off than poor blacks, just by virtue of being white.

Its not clear to me that that that's true; there is complicated intersectionality at play. Poor whites are more likely to have social networks and other advantages that provide things useful to getting out of poverty, and may -- due to racism and the racially unequal distribution of wealth and power -- have better responses from people in power independent of their own social networks.

OTOH, they may also be more likely to have social networks that are less understanding of an accepting of poverty.

Whether this is a net advantage or net disadvantage varies, among poor whites, considerably from individual to individual.

Group privilege exists mostly in terms of average conditions across groups (and may not thus be particularly useful in discussing the positions of individuals.)

Taking White privilege as a given (which I think does accurately reflect reality, in terms of on-average advantage), I'm not sure that poor White privilege (compared to, poor non-White ) is valid; its certainly not a necessary corollary of White privilege.
I must be unaware of an important distinction here. Non-profits don't pay taxes, so non-profit banks are automatically tax-exempt, right? (Put aside issues of tax-exempt status of donations to non-profits; credit unions don't take donations.)

Maybe here's another way to formulate my question: why can't a credit union operate as a for-profit bank, but just structure their company so that it's committed to never earning a profit and hence never paying much taxes? (It's perfectly legal for corporations to pursue ends besides maximizing shareholder value, so long as they are publicly disclosed, popular misconceptions notwithstanding.) In other words, why do credit unions bother to satisfy the legal requirements of being credit unions?
I don't see how that question has any bearing on anything at all. Your word choices in this discussion are strongly indicative of a none-too-thought-out black-vs-white worldview.

Don't ask me why I would want to rule. Perhaps I would like to rule over your mind to destroy this propensity for dumb questions to be asked of me. The world would be a better place for it.
Kill sticky headers (2013)
I would not define an "A+ career" as working hard. That doesn't even make sense. You can very hard in a career without achieving much success at all.

However, if you want to be exceptionally successful, it obviously helps to work hard. And if you don't particularly care about being exceptionally successful, it's a lot easier to relax and not work hard. Is that something you actually disagree with?

Also, you seem to have totally missed the point of that anecdote. Yes, it IS desirable to him. He has a great life.

You don't necessarily need to try to become super successful. In fact, you just might be a lot happier if you decided to stop trying to achieve that. But if you're in tech and you do want that -- truly exceptional success, not just being quite successful -- you'll be better off in the bay area.
There is no such thing as throwing money away to a landlord, unless you also believe that every other case in which you use money to buy something you desire is "throwing money away."
I recently switched to this library from Redux Router for a project, after having trouble with server-side routing.

It really is simple, as stated in his title, and I would definitely recommend it if anyone is using Redux and React Router.
This is the most interesting part of the whole phenomenon. I think the answer is that everyone is scared to confront them. The modus operandi of this movement is to personally attack the character of anyone who disagrees with them. They've toppled university presidents, CEOs, and politicians. They got Rolling Stone to publish a completely unsubstantiated article falsely accusing a bunch of young men of a vicious gang rape. No one wants to be next.
44 years for attempted murder of a police officer, I guess with such a benchmark the next police officer murdering a civilian will be sentenced to at least double that given that they're supposed to set an example. Incredible. What standard of sentencing would essentially take someone's life away for an attempt. Makes you wonder how big a sentence you'd get if you succeeded, more than a lifetime?
> And right now, you are not focussing on technology, but on gender issues. So you're a hypocrite. You care enough about gender to voice an opinion, but only to lash out at others who dare to have an opinion?

When two unrelated fields clash (say science and religion to illustrate the point with different topics), you have to "take a stand" on both even if you want to care only about one of them.

In the specific case of the previous poster, I think that what he means is that he wants the most important criteria to be about technology. Inevitably, that means that gender ratios are only secondary considerations to those.

Maybe that stance is to focus on gender issues in your view. But in that case, what would a stance that focuses only on technology?
20 Cashless Employee Appreciation Ideas That Really Work
Exactly. Right until the comments in this thread I've been wondering why so many people complained about Macbook's and iPhone/iPods chargers cables, now I understand. When I got my first Macbook, I realised rolling it nice and tight put a huge strain on the cable, and I got into the habit of leaving it lightly loose on that first one. And that was it, and since then I had forgotten until now. Also, I rarely (if ever) unroll more than 25% of the cable, I just use longer or shorter chords plugged to the charger if I need longer span.
It's a logically separate issue. One discussion at a time.
Ne was already used for Neon. Plutonium is the only element that skipped the first available abbreviation.
Taxpayers aren't being exploited. The US just has a ridiculous tax policy, as the only western country in the world. How does it make sense to want to tax every single dollar, regardless of where it was earned? It makes total sense to do an inversion if you want to build a global company.

Stopping (or at least reducing the amount of) inversions is easy. Just lower the corporate tax rate to an acceptable level. Large companies who are not doing inversion deals are often leaving billions on the table.
I had an Apple charger fray and light my office on fire. Not much damage beyond burned carpet, but that was only because I was in the room and caught the fire immediately. After calling the company and escalating the issue up to a vice-president, they did nothing but replace the charger. It seriously disturbed me how unconcerned they were of a potentially deadly safety problem. It turned me off of Apple as a company and potential employer. Never wanted to work there after that.

I agree - but sadly, the key word here is "eventually". It's little of a consolation if you'd like to use some new knowledge today.

So as it stands now, I classify every new and contemporary (younger than 10 years) study in psychology, sociology and nutrition as "not science" and "quackery" by default, until proven otherwise. I also assume that any science news reporting in any field is an outright lie with an agenda. Rarely do I see a counterexample. Seriously, science reporting does way more harm than bad research itself.

I'm probably the wrong guy to ask, really. If I were the president, I would do everything I could to abolish the income tax and replace it with use/consumption taxes.

On the whole though, yes, I agree that taxes are likely a necessary evil, and while I object to large swaths of the federal government, I think it would be naive, or even asinine to suggest that they do not have any good functions which I deem wholly necessary.

That said, at the end of the day, citizenship is something that can be relinquished, and as such, an income tax (of any sort) is something that ought to be competitive. California offers a lot of niceties, and presumably, the people who live there don't mind the tradeoff of high taxes and a generally higher cost of living. If they did, they could trade out to one of the zero-income-tax southern states, in exchange for a generally less educated peer group, less efficient state services, etc.

At the end of the day though, if taxes are to be citizenship criteria, then America is in competition with other nations to deliver good value. In addition to economic freedom, social freedoms, fair treatment, social services, safety net and a myriad of other factors are ways in which we compete. I am not likely to move to another country to save some money on taxes, but if another country offered the same freedoms that I value in America, with lower taxes, and a lower incarceration rate, a move would be worth strong consideration.

> It's not the certificate that's the problem. It's the installation of the private keys along with the certificate.

No, that just makes it much worse. Your system provider has no business installing a root certificate even without a private key, because that still gives them the ability to spoof any website. And even if you trust them not to do so, do you trust everyone who could break their security?
From eBay, shipped from Hong Kong... I'm sure it's a genuine charger, but I would bet against it being a genuine Apple charger.

I've had good luck ordering used Apple chargers from U.S. sellers on eBay; they have always turned out to be genuine and at a reasonable price.
You can also download the src for a release in one tar.gz file. I am really not sure what the poster is talking about since it includes everything.
Yes, but your example is both irrational, poorly chosen and simply will not work, no matter how much time we have since it requires the co-operation of the subject which simply does not have the neural apparatus to comprehend speech as we generally understand it. So no, given 1,000 years we will not be able to teach mice French, nor Russian, Chinese, English or any other human language.

There's more to that than simply wanting it to be so, no matter how much information we can pass on to future generations.

«Not a single mention of Vista»

Given Vista's reputation, I'm willing to bet Microsoft doesn't feel a need to address the few Enterprises who are stuck on Vista SP2 until its support ends.

I'm curious if anyone knows a company that plans to ride out Vista SP2 until its support ends. Seems like most companies did the XP to 7 hop (and are currently hoping to ride 7 until it sunsets).
I'm not qualified to have a strong opinion, but I know one very interesting criminal case. In fact, there are many. But there's a guy called Thomas Dee Huskey aka “Zoo Man (https://www.bizarrepedia.com/multiple-personality-disorder)

A serial killer who killed prostitutes. He was described as dumb as a box of rocks, but his other personality, who allegedly committed the crimes, was left-handed. It's extremely difficult to fake it, even if you have high IQ. The handwritings experts agreed they are handwritings of "two different persons". There were many other facts I can't remember right now, but even the prosecutor agreed this guy probably has DID. And that's rare...
This is a very useful example, thank you. What exactly is the benefit credit unions derive from satisfying the legal requirement of credit unions, rather than just following the sort of incorporation that USAA uses? Can't they avoid taxes on corporate income by just running with negligible profit?

EDIT: So I'm reading through your link above. They mention the obvious way that nominally for-profit corporations could run at zero-profit by returning all excess funds in the form of interest to depositors:

> In contrast, mutual corporations are owned by their depositors, and the equity of a mutual corporation is derived solely from retained earnings. Because depositors are the owners, payments to depositors can include both interest and an equity return to depositors in their role as owners. While depository institutions are generally permitted to deduct interest paid on deposits, mutual thrifts are also allowed a deduction for amounts paid or credited to their depositors as dividends on their accounts, including amounts that represent an equity return, if such amounts may be withdrawn on demand subject only to customary notice of intention to withdraw.

Why don't credit unions just become non-profit and do this?

Fraying on the charger (dc-carrying) cable is definitely an issue, but my biggest gripe about these chargers is the form factor of the AC-carrying part of the power cord. I can't speak to non-US chargers, but the three-prong cord that plugs into the wall has no coiling shape. If the plug itself had a self-clip (like at the end of the charging cable), at least I could keep my cord from unrolling in my bag and expanding to fill the entire free space. I'm usually torn when I'm leaving the house with my macbook: do I bring the long cable and deal with bag disorganization, or do I hope I'm close enough to a plug and the plug orientation doesn't make me regret my lack of regular power cord?

You'd think with all this industrial design effort spent (pretty successfully IMO for the most part), there'd be an improvement in that particular cable.
Seems like a good idea would be to, upon submission of an app, for Apple to send an e-mail to the support address to confirm it?

I dunno, maybe they already do that, but it seems like any credentials entered should be validated somehow.
You seem to have bought into fair and balanced horseshit. There are certain views that are morally superior to others, just as there are certain hamburgers that are better than others. Taking rights away from other people loosely based on ancient superstitions (the Bible says nothing about allowing gays to marry but says a lot about how to punish them -- the only reason Eich and his ilk aren't politically promoting the punishments is that our secular society would rightfully come down even harder on them then) is not something that should be a protected viewpoint, just as promoting the idea that Jews (as a race) should not have property rights is something that should not be tolerated.

Had Eich done something that was morally neutral, everybody would have stood up for his right to do that, as well they should. That's not what he did though.

> The simple fix is to replace it with '.dell.com', but they didn't do that.

That doesn't suffice either, unless they also enforce HTTPS. Otherwise, any network you connect to can spoof DNS and load a fake dell.com page over http to break your security.

(Of course, even if they did require HTTPS, the attacker could serve up a fake dell.com HTTPS site signed with eDellRoot...)

And either way, they have no business even allowing an authentic dell.com page to execute arbitrary code on your system, either.
I've seen that from some models made in ~'08-'09, the cables do not fray.

I have 2013 rmbp 13" I have handled my charger with great care avoiding as much twisting ant touching as possible, and after around 20 months, cable isolation just tore up by touching it.. It seems that cable isolation is made of such plastic, that it completely degrades after some time..

The magnetic connector attracts any little bits of iron oxide lying around. It’s easy to clean with a q-tip soaked in alcohol though.
How does that not just move the point of strain further down the cable? It looks like a rigid extension of the strain relief boot.

>That is a direct contradiction. You acknowledge as much right after. What's even the point of writing this and posting it?

Umm... to SHOW that it's a contradiction. To demonstrate the absurdity of making statements that betray one's behavior. It's easier to know how dumb you're being if you see someone else doing it.

Let me rephrase this for you.

I don't care about anime. When someone throws an anime conference, I don't care. I won't be going. What I'm not going to do is jump on the internet and start saying "I have a problem with anime conferences!"

I might have a problem with, say, a Nazi conference; their goals and premises are fundamentally objectionable to me. What is fundamentally objectionable about a women in tech conference? More women in tech?

Do you excuse the other side's casual use of "kill all men"? What about explicit statements that I am literally unqualified to hold an opinion because of my chromosomal makeup and the color of my skin? Those come across as equally hateful to me.

> No way you're getting that in value

I disagree. If Mark Zuckerberg had started Facebook in Bangladesh, would he still be worth $35 billion? Almost certainly not. But-for his starting his company in a developed country with a stable government, deep technological infrastructure, educated employees, and wealthy consumers, he would not have that money. Whatever he pays in taxes is far less than what he got in value.
It's really a shame that they've chosen not to open source their algorithm. They use data from the 4km (hi-res) NAM model, which can be found here[0].

I wanted to make a simple model and train it on Instagram data for #sunset tag frequency for a given location, but Instagram just closed access to their global data.
