It reads like you assume that expertise is defined by how others view you. That is certainly one way to define expertise. But expertise can also be an objective measure. Then it doesn't matter how new the field is, you still have to work for years to achieve it.

I feel competitive gaming is one of those areas where the new stuff can make you the best in a field in a few weeks. But if you look at the really best players you find that they continue to learn even when they have reached the top. Then they compete with the other top players to find new ways and optimize the existing ways even a little more.
No, I don't think I am. I've conducted many dev interviews. Gurus can often be prima donnas, difficult to work with in a team, btw.

Interviewed enough "C++, 3 years" people who couldn't even describe a class, or give the most basic description of OO, to have no illusions of some of the standards out there. Similar for other languages. Similar for how much having a degree is worth. I used to be surprised such people tried it on, as there was no way they'd walk out of the hour looking anything but stupid, but it happened often enough to stop surprising. Of course I've also experienced code produced by such types, and worked with a couple.

If you're going to publish something then make the world a better place not pollute it with pointless stuff.

Spending more time publishing this package than most basically competent developers would spend writing the four lines is not going to mark you as "miles ahead of the curve" in my eyes. If you're an 18yo fresh out of school without degree, seeking trainee role, I'd look on it favourably.
> Because the new houses built are intended to be bought buy people who have money at incredibly high prices.

The demand is not infinite. If these new luxury houses actually do sell to the people who have the money to pay the incredibly high prices, what happens to the existing houses that were not purpose-built to sell to the rich? If the new houses satisfy even a part of the demand, prices on the existing houses have to drop.

Ask HN: Annotation system for offline mobile reading. Is it exists?
Hello HN!
I read a lot of newsletters and articles (like gamasutra, medium, techcrunch etc), and my reading queue grows too fast.
I spend a lot of time on public transport and want to use it well - read these articles from my phone.

I recently discovered annotation (https://hypothes.is/) - it allows me to write their comments to the words in the webpage and see them then I return to this page. Quite comfortable and free.

Here is my desktop reading workflow:
I use feedly and getpocket.
Then I use feedly I just open webpages and add some annotations with hypothesis if the article is good.
Getpocket has a feature to save content of article, so sometimes I read in pocket and annotate hypothesis.

But I can't find similar mobile and offline solutions.

I know that there are programs from the category "research software" and "reference managers", and some of them have a mobile apps.
I'm talking about http://www.papersapp.com/, http://www.mendeley.com/ and the like.

But in my opinion not quite fit, they are more focused on PDF files, and many also do not have the normal ways to annotate - only highlighting.

Here is workflow, which I think will be convenient

1. I add an article from the Internet

2. Service creates a simplified representation (as getpocket does)

3. I can sync this article with my mobile

4. I can make text annotations (highlight text and write comments)

5. Then I can sync it back somewhere to the Internet

I really tried to find something like this, maybe I looking at the wrong direction? Or maybe the problem is in my workflow?

Well, for existing cars, keep your key in a faraday cage.

rich chinese people displacing middle class white people is called "this is totally unfair, why isn't this illegal?".

of course, guess who's making all the money selling these units? the rich white people (developers, bankers, politicians, contractors, lobbyists, lawyers) who decide what's legal and illegal. as per usual, they are the winners in this whole charade, while the middle and lower classes just blame the dirty foreigners. it's even better when they're chinese -- who doesn't hate the chinese??? so convenient. shhh, let's not mention the other 2/3rds of buyers.

the aforementioned elites are playing and winning a game as old as time, as they do.
Judging by their rhetoric and their recent win (can it be called that?), there is certainly widespread interest in them locking themselves down. They would look a little foolish if not.

"If I have told you these details about the asteroid, and made a note of its number for you, it is on account of the grown-ups and their ways. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead, they demand: "How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?" Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him."

You have left out a very crucial fact which completely destroys your argument: Twitter has no verification process that the tweet was deleted because you're NOT ADVERTISING THE TWEETS. You're using them as source code. So the public is NOT privy to what you're doing with the tweets! So Twitter would have to get a search warrant to determine that you aren't deleting tweets! Of course they don't care; they care about what you're revealing to the public.

If you find this kind of thing interesting, there is actually a branch of computer science called "logic programming" that is very similar, but actually useful for practical applications (as it's not a joke).

A really simple example would be something like logpy [1]. You give it a set of variables, and a set of constraints, and it will try to efficiently solve for values that meet all the constraints.

A more professional-grade logic solver might be Clojure's core.logic [2], which has been used in many real-world applications. Compare the core.logic Sudoku solver [3] with the quantum version. They are similar, in that they each set the constraints for a solved board, but core.logic is vastly, vastly more efficient.

If there is a demand for both high price housing and low price housing, there would be builders for both.

This is like saying "all the rich chinese are buying up all the expensive top end iphones and now all the poor people of the earth and the seas can not have smartphones for their enjoyment".

Again and again I see the same 'fixed size pie' argument when somebody argues for special privileges for the 'special class' that they conveniently belong to.

What about all the canadians who bought their house 4 years ago and now have their property price increased 200%? Nobody talks about those guys. You only hear the 'evil rich foreigner chinese taking up out houses' narrative. If you are a rich foreigner you are taking our houses and if you are poor then you are taking our jobs.

At the end of the day these narratives are just appeal to group-identity and nationalism. They are very thinly veiled attempt at enraging people to get more 'engagement' 'views' 'clicks' or whatever. And they are clearly working because people who are sensible otherwise start losing their minds.

> Pricing is how an economy works. It is the messaging system communicating changes in demand/supply balance. If it is 'skewing' the economy in the sense that it causes changes, then it is working as intended.

Price is one tool. Government skew pricing via subsidies and other to business all the time. Imagine primary schools in a pure capitalist system. It would be a mess. There is loads of intervention all through the economy that overrides pure pricing so I dont buy into this view.

> There is only so much land to go around so if you want to use a particular piece of land that is highly desirable then you ought to outbid everybody else.

Land supply is fixed. But demand is variable. If you reduce investment incentive for this limited land pool, prices should reduce via less competition freeing personal capital for other spending.

> What is going to happen is that people who cant afford to own a house (or dont want to borrow money from banks to buy one) is going to have to pay the tax for renting.

Maybe... 1) there were studies in Australia when the gov removed tax breaks on investment property. Some people made a claim similar to you this cost would be passed on. Empirical results were the majority of regions (some exceptions of course) found little to no impact on rental price and this cost was absorbed into investment returns. And 2) Don't forget this action will reduce house prices, so those that do buy residential property for investment will require lower rental return as the initial house price is lower.

It seems to me that most of your doubts stem from the financing side of things and not really from the technical ones. That's a valid point.

From a technical POV, I don't think this is anywhere near unicorn territory. In fact, I think they are aiming too low. I'd ideally want a supersonic plane that is quiet enough to fly over land and cheap enough that your average traveler can afford if they want to trade price for speed. Full autonomous capability so that the plane itself can have thousands of flight hours under its belt before a human test pilot gets on-board.
