> Same GPIO

To clarify, this means exactly the same GPIO capabilities (no extras like analog inputs, etc), as opposed to full GPIO compatibility with previous generations?

Also, any idea when documentation for the new SoC will be released (i.e. the equivalent of this, for the bcm2837: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberry...)? Said documentation could, of course, answer the above question, but I can't find any yet.
Hmm... now the secret's out -- how long before the government shuts this unlicensed, illegal child labor operation down? ;)
I think these are extremely useful corrections. Investors are really worried about an implosion and are basically scrambling to defuse the ticking bomb.
If they'll show enough maturity and they'll be willing to let greed subside for a couple of years, maybe we'll end up having a better, more realistic, high-tech scene pretty soon without any bubble having to burst.

Or it won't be enough and they're all screwed nonetheless. Who knows!
Yeah... anybody who knows Germany will laugh at the idea of Berlin being some sort of powerhouse in comparison to Munich and Stuttgart. The fact the last two weren't even mentioned makes the author look really uninformed.

9.6 kbps is about 3GB per month. That's between $44 (Finland) and $360 (US) in retail prices per year. It adds up to a lot, approximately $880 million to $7.2 billion per million users over a 20 year license. How many millions of subscribers did you want to subsidize?

> It's not clear the plan would incur costs for operators unless there is no room left to optimize their use of the allocated spectrum.

You cannot just consider the marginal costs. You have to take into consideration the fully loaded costs including operating and upgrading the network when you run out of capacity.

> The article also lays out the argument for a value increase in the whole network (granted not limited to each operator) that could offset any costs.

The cellphone companies don't care about imaginary money that does not flow to the bottom line.

> Even with inescapable costs that would be factored into the spectrum bids, why would it no be preferable for that value to be transferred directly to the public, in the form of free internet access, than to have it flow into governments for indirect redistribution?

The answer to this depends on whatever political views you subscribe to.
There's a fascinating animated movie "Loving Vicent" coming up that is made in the style of Vincent van Gogh. Apparently the individual frames are actual oil paintings made by hand.

http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2016/02/loving-vincent-trailer...

When I first saw the trailer my first thought was the neural network approach shown here. I wonder how close you could get to "Loving Vincent" style by simply applying this algorithm to individual video camera frames.
The US public transportation system is severely lacking so there needs to be a very high incentive for people to take it or a disincentive to take the car.

Public transportation is by design more inconvenient than taking the car because you have to wait for it and during rush hour be crammed in to a busy train.

However if the city has very good and fast public transportation it can still be better than driving the car and being stuck in traffic for hours.

London is a good example if public transportation done right. I can get anywhere by underground and bus way faster than you can with a car.

Thank you for this, especially the point about silence. This is such an under-recognized negotiation tactic. I'd venture to say that negotiations often wind up as a contest of "who can bear the silence the longest". I particularly like the suggestion about a stronger statement when making a counteroffer.

It's very refreshing to hear this advice from an agency recruiter, because they are indeed maligned here and elsewhere. Part of the problem I think, is that the incentives of the recruiter are rarely aligned with the candidate.

> the French wanted agricultural subsidies

Agricultural policies were planned in 1957 and mostly finalized in 1964, long before the UK even joined. This is what I mean by cornerstone: agriculture, energy, industry, economic development... these were defined at the very beginning with the Treaty of Rome. By constantly attacking them, one undermines the whole setup, and that is unclout from someone who joined much later.

> The government in the UK was particularly enraged about FTT (Financial Transaction Tax) a couple of years ago & that is what has actually led to this whole referendum thing.

You conveniently ignore more than 20 years of sustained attacks by the British press on European legislation on all sorts of issues. UKIP did not start in response to the FTT. The referendum idea started gaining traction around the time Blair won his second mandate, when Brown's position on the Euro looked a bit weak, but had been around ever since Thatcher joined. The actual referendum timetable has been entirely defined by the need for settling disagreements internal to the Conservative Party once they had secured a majority. There is simply no single policy that is responsible for precipitating it.

> It's not like there are policies in the EU that attempt to reduce trade in financial services such as the tobin tax on financial transactions.

These policies were discussed while the UK government went through an acute bout of isolationism. Looking back only a couple of years, Brown's influence over European response to the 2008 crash was widely recognised as huge, and it's a fair bet to say that with him at the negotiating table things would have looked very different.

If you don't engage, they will ignore your needs, simple as.

You are truly an optimist. Google can't even get Mountain View to allow them to put up a few skyscrapers.

>The difference in rents between a single family house and a multi-story apartment building is "scraps"?

No, but if the land is densely populated and high value the potential stream of rental income from building an average house will be lower than the land taxes and you'll lose money building it.

"Scraps" is what speculating over the value of that housing will get you when the only rents to be derived are from the value you create as a property developer.

>And you couldn't even calculate it using the fact that someone paying money for land indicates that it's under-assessed, because if that was expected to work then no one would ever pay more than $0 as the value of unimproved land

Well, that's the point isn't it? If somebody does pay more than $0 for unimproved land (or land with buildings that are worth $0), that's a data point that you can use to adjust your model.

I mean, just look at the titles. They don't fit with the general theme of the content which is usually posted on HN. This general focus of content on HN has indeed become more muddied and low quality as time has gone on and it approaches Reddit status, but I'm not ready to give it up yet.

I absolutely love treasure troves like this - it is an instant quality-of-life improvement to have an archive of such magazines available for easy reading, and I am grateful that the copyright holders have allowed this to occur - otherwise, Galaxy would have been very much ignored in my part of the world.

But because of this instant sharing of high-value content that occurs in our culture, my kids - 8 and 5 years old - have something amazing to put on their iPads' to replace the dreck of the modern age. This archive will go down in our family history, I'm quite sure, as a significant turning point in the cultural development of our boys, who otherwise would not have had a chance to expose themselves to these classics, circumstances being what they are ..

Germany has only 80 million people, however. And the cities in Germany are all spread out around the country.

China has 1.3 billion people, mostly clustered on the east coast. Building megacities is basically mandatory. According to Wikipedia [1], a "medium sized city" with population 1 to 3 million people, in China, would be among 169 other cities. There are 73 cities with a population over 3 million, in 2010. A city with exactly 1 million people would be rank 242 in China... the city (town?) ranked 242 in population in Germany would be the city/town of Eisenach, population 42,700. That's a seriously small city, or about half the population of Mountain View, California.

And these numbers are from the 2010 census- according to some sources, China's population has increased by 80 million people from 2010 to 2016. That's the size of one entire Germany.

The comparison here between cities in Germany vs cities in China isn't exactly fair.

>Factory workers. Then service workers who sell their food and cut their hair.

Except factories need workers too, and workers need haircuts so it doesn't make sense for a factory to be built in the middle of nowhere where there are no workers.

>How do you think places go from being an empty field to a town?

Rarely.

>Then why do Boeing and Ford and GE build their factories in rural areas instead of in Manhattan?

Boeing's factory is within easy commuting distance of Everett. GE's is in Flint. Neither one was built in rural Iowa or the Mojave.

They're not built in Manhattan because that would be prohibitively expensive given the amount of space they need.

I'm not entirely convinced either way.

Look at the Ruhr region. Like all German cities the cities in the Ruhr region have their own identities which the locals are very attached to and their own differences and rivalries. But to outsiders moving in it's all one contiguous region and this is exactly the direction politics is taking the region (with things like the Ruhr University which has merged the various local universities into a single distributed entity).

I don't see Cologne swallowing Bonn or even Leverkusen anytime soon (or in Leverkusen's case: swallowing it again) but given enough time (and in comparison with the total age of the cities even a hundred years isn't much) it might happen eventually.

That said, I'm a Cologne native who recently moved into a small city in Westphalia and am still amazed how many major companies have their headquarters in the region despite having theoretically outgrown their home towns.

As far as I can tell, Germany seems to define itself in terms of regions as you say. Whether those regions will eventually grow into megacities or merely "polycentric urban areas" (as Wikipedia describes the Ruhr region) is ultimately philosophical.
In a 4-dimensional space, 1-dimensional knots are trivially untied, because you can pass strings through strings by "lifting" the string into fourth dimension (strings can "pass through" each other).
If you can't afford a full-body cryo-preservation, you can get a "discount" version by only cryo-preserving your head.

Of course, that would be the ideal way of combating this. If you're talking about financial stakes in certain findings however, these might be hard to prove (and stalking colleagues to prove they're playing dirty is not and shouldn't be in the spirit of the academic debate).

I think the procedure itself entails a conflict of interest: If you dispute certain findings by certain researchers (and you have a clear agenda), how can you be trusted to write an objective year-end summary of relevant findings in the field? I think these kinds of articles are the root of the problem. Of course, it would be far from easy to find an objective voice interested in writing these without having an 'ulterior opinion'. Still, I think editors should at least bar researchers from summarizing what they have a stake in (or summarizing a debate that they have taken part in during the last couple of months).
Yes you stopped both innovating and competing.
( ) having months of different lengths is irritating

( ) having months which vary in length from year to year is maddening

People toy with calendar reform exactly because so many boxes are already ticked in our current system, and other boxes are questionable:

( ) having one or two days per year with no day of the week is asinine

Meanwhile, happy day that only happens once every four years.

I always see it as a half serious pursuit, but it's fun to try because our current system is an irrational historical accident that predates almost everything we've learned about math, astronomy, sociology, and usability.
