Look at 1979 in the second chart... the trendline for the present is dropping beneath it. The size of house isn't relevant.

It does not mention anything about neural networks in that link. How do you know? I looked up that Sony chip, and I can't find anything "neural" about it either.

I don't quite understand what you mean by: "It's something almost equivalent to storing Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in your TV in 4K, and then reproducing it when they match it with what's playing on TV."

Can you explain? What exactly do they have to store in the TV?

Although SQLite's memory overhead is tiny by the standards of modern desktops/servers/phones, it's still much too big for 8-bit microcontrollers like the Arduino. If you want to build something that costs tens of cents instead of tens of dollars, SQLite is way too big.

For example, https://www.sqlite.org/about.html claims that SQLite can run in "very little heap (100KiB)"; this project targets an Atmel ATmega2560 which has only 8KiB of RAM.

(I doubt "5 times smaller than SQLite" is a useful comparison; the limiting factor is probably RAM consumption, as opposed to executable code which can be stored in cheaper non-volatile memory.)
This is true in the US, where the state pension is called social security. Except that conservatives have somehow rebranded this "entitlement" (to which you are entitled because you pay contributions over your working life) to something whiny "entitled" workers are unfairly demanding from the government.

I personally think that if the users are too dumb and lazy to upgrade themselves to better alternatives (either Windows 8/10 or Linux distros), then you can't blame Microsoft for billing on their slumber. In fairness, even Red Hat might be doing the same thing to their RHEL clients who are "locked" into it and can't move on to Ubuntu or something.

Boston was settled in the 1700s. You need to open up your date range.

My house was built in 1870. It needed some work, but has mostly been fine because the previous owners (and probably the one before them too) had kept it pretty up-to-date.

An 140k downpayment sounds about right. It did wipe out all our savings, but that was only because we decided to buy and then sell. The equity in our old home basically offset it.
I find it quite amusing that Bezos does this and what's everyone's first reaction? Let's find out what Elon has to say!
Nah man, let him have the simplification for the HN upvotes.
The actual point is hidden midway through:
'“When you go to justify a major investment for pedestrians and bikes, it gets really hard because you don’t have good data,” Loewenherz said.'

...as opposed to a major investment for cars, which is just common sense, right? I have yet to see such an investment backed with "good data" - just handwaving and "more motorways is good, because it's good, and that's because it's good."
TL;DR the thesis researches how evidence-based programming language design could be conducted, but it does not actually goes into what such a design would be given the available evidence.
Similar story here. I cashed out a lot of stocks to make a down payment on a house. Then I had to move to a different city to find work, and lost everything I ever put into the house. I timed the market just right to lose everything, because my other options were to lose more than that.

I have had more employers in 15 years of work than both of my parents accumulated over a combined total of nearly 80 years. I have never, ever been promoted within the same company, but I have been summarily tossed to the curb for no individually-attributable reason--along with several of my office-mates--a total of four times.

I have a lot of envy for what the Baby Boomer generation already got, and in combination with the condescending attitude they have (in aggregate) towards the younger generations, it fuels a lot of resentment.

Their formula of education plus hard work equals success has not been even remotely accurate for me. Education plus hard work equals screw you, buddy, because I already got mine. Enjoy your layoffs and unaffordable housing and tuition increases well in excess of inflation and slashed employer-granted benefits and mountains of political debt, because your parents have decided to sell their house at 20x what they paid for it, buy a plush RV, and split their well-funded retirement between any convenient US state and Snowbirdland, Mexico.

And what really kills me is that I have never seen anyone from my parents' generation working particularly hard. Maybe they did all that before I was born, and just coasted along afterward? Maybe I don't really know what hard work looks like?

Well, anyway, thanks for all the inter-generational tension, Boomers. We'll air it out by having Thanksgiving dinner at your house again this year, because none of your kids can afford homes big enough to hold everyone.

They don't claim orbit, but they claim (rightfully so) landing a rocket.

Oh, the jobs people work at! Out west near Hawtch-Hawtch there's a Hawtch-Hawtcher bee watcher, his job is to watch. Is to keep both his eyes on the lazy town bee, a bee that is watched will work harder you see. So he watched and he watched, but in spite of his watch that bee didn't work any harder not mawtch. So then somebody said "Our old bee-watching man just isn't bee watching as hard as he can, he ought to be watched by another Hawtch-Hawtcher! The thing that we need is a bee-watcher-watcher!". Well, the bee-watcher-watcher watched the bee-watcher. He didn't watch well so another Hawtch-Hawtcher had to come in as a watch-watcher-watcher! And now all the Hawtchers who live in Hawtch-Hawtch are watching on watch watcher watchering watch, watch watching the watcher who's watching that bee. You're not a Hawtch-Watcher you're lucky you see! — Dr. Suess

As the FSF clarifies a few sentences later, their criticism centers around the fact that those users are dependent on Microsoft. When support ends for an old version of a free software distribution, users have the ability to hire someone else to maintain it. They often don't, however, because it's usually cheaper to upgrade to the latest version, and free software operating systems don't have the ratcheting oppressive privacy and security implications that Windows 10 comes with.

I do think, though, that it's a valid counter argument to say that users knew (or should have known) the kind of deal they where making with Microsoft when they bought Windows XP. Instead of criticizing Microsoft, they should be pointing out that free software operating systems typically are much more friendly and respectful of the user's rights, even rights beyond being able to modify that operating system.

The FSF has always had a problem explaining to the average user why they should care about the ability to modify their own software when they lack the expertise to do so; Windows 10 is providing a practical example.

I tend to agree with this. First, no I am not against writing unit tests, they are great way to trap regressions. But test driven DESIGN? really?

Do you drive your car (software) by banging against rail guards (unit tests) to reach a destination? They are there so that you do drive off the road accidentally not guide your way.
The main reason for that was the fact that SpaceX launched several rockets with the same goal and failed to land. Most people won't know the difference between getting to space and getting to orbit and will conclude that SpaceX failed. If you clarify however that New Shepard is a toy compared to the Falcon 9 it changes the perspective.

Around a month ago, Marc Andreessen tweeted that we're coming up on 13 years of people saying there's a new tech bubble.

The article talks about a lack of IPOs, which is a much more interesting conversation than "is this a bubble," but the headline is disappointing.
>It may not have escaped your notice that 662,754 bytes is a lot of bytes for JavaScript for a single HTML page, and 296 files is a lot of files. "What are you doing on that page?" you may well be wondering.

> We are wondering that too. The page in question is the Khan Academy homepage for logged in users, and it's acquired a lot of, um, functionality over the years.

> The end result of our analysis is that our page isn't going to load any faster until we reduce the amount of JavaScript we use on the page. Tricks like trying to load a bunch of stuff in parallel, or aggressive caching, might seem like appealing shortcuts, but nothing replaces just auditing the code and making it need less "stuff."

At the end of the day, de-bloating is the best way to make your pages faster.

The safety of automobiles (ABS, airbags, auto-collision-avoidance, better tires, crumple zones, etc) have a HUGE influence on the quality of life (as you're defining it) for populations.

I don't think the author is saying 'Microsoft is bad - everyone swap to Google and Apple!'. This is from GNU. The author is saying Microsoft is bad, and since most of these points probably apply to Apple and Google too, the author would probably say that Apple and Google are bad too.

Either way it's kind of irrelevant. "He shot my dog!" "Not an issue, other people are shooting dogs all the time."

Interviewing is a two-way street. If you actually do feel that you were the ideal candidate based on what they said they were looking for, didn't they blow it as well? When you went high level, did they give any immediate feedback that indicated you were speaking at a level of abstraction above what they were looking for? If not, the failure is just as much on them.

Interested to hear what you mean by this...

"Wealth" in economics is the sum total of all of your physical and intangible assets, including a calculation of discounted future earnings.

So being rich and being wealthy are very similar concepts in economics - large NPV of assets and income. But in normal parlance, rich and poor can also refer to standard of living/quality of life/happiness.

So are you wealthier? Happier? Earning less?
Let's compromise. I promise to be totally clear, transparent, and straightforward in my ticket purchases as long as the airlines are totally clear, transparent, and straightforward in their ticket pricing.

On a related note, when it comes to types I find very odd the persistent notion that a statically typed language means it's vital that you get the types right at the outset.

Quite the contrary, as we build anything, we necessarily pick some way of organizing our code and our data. When we inevitably discover that we were horribly wrong, it is tremendously valuable to be told more about what needs to change in concert as we reorganize.
This allegedly growing threat just keeps growing every year and escalated to what

I personally would hope that it would not escalate to anything but I think that your trying to ridicule it without any base.

When there is growing threat from one side, then the opposing side (in the reasonable world) would try to counter the threat. In such way this game can continue indefinitely.

I see the western propaganda is still hard at work here.

I would like to hear your list of media sources (local and not local) that you consider to be non biased and in attempt to be honest. I am not sarcastic with this i.e. it is an actual request.

Yes we can. But it means tradeoffs most people aren't willing to make.
Looking at the reactions of people to this topic, I come to believe there are two general approaches to life. Some people try to look at the whole game and want everyone to win, so they play by the rules. In terms of prisoner's dilemma, they choose to cooperate. Others notice that the market economy is designed around people being selfish, so they use it to justify defecting - minding only their own short-term interest.

As for ethics of this topic, I think the quoted government response about one such case is spot on - this is people acting in bad faith. Whether or not you think it's fine to act in bad faith depends on to which group you subscribe - defectors, or cooperators.

EDIT: The article would make a much stronger point if it focused on the problem of "hidden city" tickets, where people choosing to reduce their travel costs are not just haggling over price, but breaking a deal and wasting airline's fuel.

--

EDIT2: Took a shower, thought about it some more.

My initial paragraph isn't about airlines really, it's an observation made after seeing a stream of comments arguing for general selfishness.

As for problems with some of the travel "hacks", I have issues with two of those in particular. "Hidden city" flying is one, and using golden-card-carrying third party to buy you tickets is the second. Both of them introduce waste - the more people do that, the more often a plane flies with seats empty, wasting fuel that could otherwise provide utility by carrying other passengers. And speaking of other passengers, this is another thing to consider - if you use a travel "hack" that leaves an airplane with an empty seat, you're taking away the seat from another traveler, who could have used it. Or, given the discriminatory pricing, who could have paid less for it. So by using those kinds of tricks, people are not only hurting the airline, they're also hurting each other.
"Because of this inability to hover the Falcon 9 first stage..."

The notion that Blue Origin has accomplished something SpaceX hasn't quite worked out is quite a laugh.
You won't be able to distribute your fixes (because they contain MSFT copyright protected code), reverse engineering the binaries and even the API might be a violation of the DMCA, and you will not be able to update system files from within the system it self.
So yes they kinda preventing you from working on it, at least for the benefit of anyone besides your own intellectual curiosity.

That said I don't see any problem with MSFT dropping support for XP, they supported it much longer than any software by any vendor closed or open sourced.

GL getting support for RHEL 10 years down the line if you haven't upgraded your OS, and Linux from 10-15 years ago has as much in common with Linux today as Windows XP has with Windows 10.

But conversely soul be a good model to study if it were viable elsewhere (especially booming cities -- where the issue is pronounced)

I'm not opposed to mild price discrimination, so long that competition within the segment is holding up. For airfare, I personally hate layovers, mismanagement, and ridiculous requirements. I flew Spirit three times to Colombia, this past time is going to be my last. I'll pay $200 extra to fly Delta, it's worth it.

Personally, I feel that if you're focused exclusively on price, you're really missing the point. I could 'save' hundreds of dollars clipping coupons, but honestly to me it's not worth it. I was at the bar the other day and some guys next to me used a ScoutMob, I didn't even know what that was. They said you could save $15 on your tab and that I was being irresponsible with my money. I shrugged and paid full price. I went to the bar prepared to spend $X, spending $X - Y doesn't really make that much of a difference in my purchasing power. What makes a difference is in how you conduct your lifestyle, what Ramit Sethi calls "big wins". Cutting ruthlessly on stuff you don't need and spending relatively extravagantly on stuff you do. Planning expenses and not just consuming things mindlessly.

I don't think it's necessarily unethical to wring every last penny from the airlines, but really, wouldn't the time and energy spent learning how to do that, implementing the strategies, and learning from your mistakes be better spent on your own business / career / life? I feel like discount shoppers wind up being like the 5 year old who'll work harder to argue with his mom why he doesn't want to clean his room than it would take to just clean it.
