I keep saying these same arguments put forth (add more affordable housing!) but the reality is that there are very specific laws that cause the crazy prices here and it ISN'T because of a lack of housing. It's lack of liquidity.

First there is Prop 13, which is the Ponzi scheme that let's older owners pay basically the same tax rate forever. This means that landlords have little reason to repair or sell properties. Which goes hand-in-hand with all the tenant protections that make it virtually impossible to vacate a tenant. And because landlords can't raise rents beyond a tiny margin each year (1% or so), they might have tenants paying 1/4 or less the going rate for an apartment, making it even less likely that they will reinvest in improving their building.

So what happens? Anyone who has been living in the same rental for the past 5 years is pretty much locked in to their apartment now, no matter what. Every single tenant in SF who hasn't moved within the last 5 years is NOT MOVING UNLESS THEY NEED TO. Because they are paying about 50% less than the going rate. So those people will not move, which means their apartment won't be available for others, which means the supply of housing is significantly lower than it should be.

Just as new homeowners in SF are paying some of the taxes that existing homeowners should pay, new renters are paying some of the rent that should be paid by existing renters.
I recently saw all three at an open house for a company that will remain nameless. It doesn't change that my friend working there finds it a fabulous work environment.
Curious about OP's assertion on this as well. Only one I ever got was from a company widely regarded as one of the best to work for in Atlanta (I ended up not taking their offer so I can't say).

Unrelated to that -- one of my personal red flags is poor handling of the post interview follow up. If a company drags their feet, gives conflicting signals about next steps, etc., they probably are a mess.
You can make a ton of money by renting your property regardless of whether the building is well maintained or not, so why bother?
I really don't think so. If demand is effectively unlimited, then I highly doubt it is only unlimited at exactly the current housing prices. Some significant portion of the housing is not under rent control (most people I know don't live in rent controlled units) and some portion of the supposedly effectively unlimited demanders should be willing to pay more than the current prices.
Hopefully this will make it easier for people to find their videos that have been reuploaded and take them down.

Really annoying to constantly see videos in my feed that are just blurry, partially cropped copies (what is this, VHS?) of videos from a great youtube channel with no attribution and no context.

When this whole controversy came up last summer and fall, it was said there would be easy ways for viewers to flag videos (since the original creators have no way of finding arbitrary uploads of their videos), but I can find no way of doing that. Maybe this will help on the other side, at least.

Maybe it was personal frustration when dealing with proprietary Sony connectors in audio-visual world, but I certainly wouldn't be interested in doing such a lock-in with my living arrangement. Nothing personal. Oh, in this economy though, and not in Austin, there are people renting ~$300/month rehearsal spaces and living in those around here. No showers or kitchen, but for those who want to be different in their own way, well, they find them. I personally dislike that work-around though.
You're looking for personality flaws more than anything, it's hard it detect them if they're charismatic enough to paper over their lies.

First off, protect yourself, ask to see the contract, guarantee any agreements for future pay/bonuses are in there, the contract must specify working hours, time off and notice period etc. Ask to see the resume's of the team you would be working with.

How much runway do they have left? less than 3 months is a massive no. Has anyone ever been paid late?

Ask HN: Why is it still not possible to search an S3 bucket?
For some reason S3 innovation seems to have mostly stopped years ago. Only minor improvements have been made to the way it works - event triggers being the only one I can think of.

All I want to do is use simple wildcards for finding files. Instead to find a file I need to list every file in the bucket to look for it.

So much more could be done to make S3 valuable and useful. Files indexes. Additional ways to get files in and out i.e. SMTP, FTP, SFTP. But none of this is happening. A pity.

S3 seems to be the neglected child of AWS.

There's a lot of coverage of this kind of thing on http://marketurbanism.com/ for those interested in following it more.

I think it's one of the issues facing a lot of cities in the US right now.
One of the major national security concerns at the time of the founding was domestic insurrection. Several of the Federalist Papers discuss the issue:

Federalist No. 28

> THAT there may happen cases in which the national government may be necessitated to resort to force, cannot be denied.

Federalist No. 29

> THE power of regulating the militia, and of commanding its services in times of insurrection and invasion are natural incidents to the duties of superintending the common defense, and of watching over the internal peace of the Confederacy.

Article II then invests power over the militias, when called into service of the United States, in the President:

> The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States;

In other words, the Constitution put the President singularly in charge of what the framers considered the chief tool against domestic insecurity: the nationalized militias.
There are parts of the fourth amendment. The first part is a protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. The second part is a requirement of probable cause for warrants.

The question of the heart of most modern fourth amendment debates is what constitutes a search (and, by extension, requires a warrant). For example, does the government require a warrant to work with the phone company to tap my line [0].

The original push for the 4th amendment protections were abuses of the writ of assistance, wherein British authorities could search any house and seize contraband. [1]. As far as I can tell, the fourth amendment was designed as a protection of property rights and against governmental harassment. I have not seen any evidence that it was written with privacy rights in mind.

In Katz v United States [2] Justice Stewart, in the majority opinion, wrote:

the Fourth Amendment cannot be translated into a general constitutional "right to privacy." That Amendment protects individual privacy against certain kinds of governmental intrusion, but its protections go further, and often have nothing to do with privacy at all. [n4] Other provisions of the Constitution protect personal privacy from other forms of governmental invasion. [n5] But the protection of a person's general right to privacy -- his right to be let alone by other people [n6] -- is, like the [p351] protection of his property and of his very life, left largely to the law of the individual States.

[0] Or rather, does the fourth amendment require the government to get a warrant.
[1] Yes, this process was highly suspectable to abuse. The most relevant modern analogy would be civil forfeiture.

The L's reputation is undeserved; it's just that some people make more noise than others.

I'm extremely happy with the location — it's arguably the most well-positioned area of Brooklyn. Almost everything of interest is 20 minutes or less away: Union Square, Village, SoHo, Midtown, and also transportation hubs like Penn Station and Grand Central. Greenpoint and Long Island City are both a super quick ride, and while south Brooklyn takes longer to get to, I can get to Fort Greene in 17 minutes, and Park Slope in 30. (The most egregious lacuna is to Brooklyn Heights and the surrounding area, but the ferry service is very enjoyable, and the bus is not bad either.)

The main overcrowding occurs during rush hour on the Bedford Ave. and Lorimer St. stops, the former of which is the only stop in a very dense area of recent urban (over)development. Lorimer isn't as bad, and it gets progressively much better the farther out you are.
On the employers' side, a few studies showed very low correlation between interviewer scores of candidates and employee performance ratings after 60-90-360 days. I suspect it's nearly as true in the other direction: that interviews are little better than a coin toss in helping you know if this is a great fit.

So this suggests a strategy to screen out obvious mismatches, sign on, then abandon or confirm when you have enough information after a month or so. This is one of the advantages of freelancing or starting under contract: both parties have a chance to see how the other performs in the real world instead of the artificial job interview setting.

So extract what clues you can from the hiring process but don't attach too much confidence in their relevance to your ability to enjoy your work, to perform well, or to advance your career.

He's probably right about the appreciation

I'm not saying you're wrong but I'm curious what you have to back that statement up. Detroit is rapidly losing population[0] with no end in sight. Typically for prices to rise, there has to be some kind of demand. I guess you could just gut the supply by wholesale tearing everything down and seeing if you can sell what's left.

Whenever I need to send dates across the wire with a JSON API, I sort of miss XML a little bit. It's a lot easier, and there are existing patterns and tools to help there. JSON really only supports three data types - boolean, numeric, and string. Any other type needs to be fiddled with some ad-hoc system for communicating the schema or just expecting created_at to be a date.

XML, on the other hand, had the ability to do something using attributes in the element or a DTD / XSL. Occasionally I do miss that ability to communicate data schema alongside the data. But only occasionally.
I think one thing here is clear: don't use image sliders.
I wasn't making a moral argument about the companies themselves. They are following the law, and that's fine. But the authors of the law did not intend for things like corporate inversions to be used to avoid tax bills.

Again, this is not a moral judgment of the company. It's simply a flawed law. The law was poorly written and these companies have exploited that. That's ok, but we should fix the law.
Read it again. 70cm - 120cm is for "unmitigated warming", per your source. The person you are quoting is correct.
Yes. The intuition is a good one of parallelism being a deliberate way of designing a system to run its parts simultaneously (physically), with concurrency being a property of a system that may or may not have its parts running simultaneously (conceptually, 'overlapping', whether physically or logically).

There are many, many ways to think about this difference, and it's fun (and beneficial!) to do so every once in a while.

> From a user-space perspective, this means threads

Interestingly enough, before SMP and multicore, thread-level "parallelism" was actually disguised by a time-sharing concurrent implementation. That remains true for most threading libraries in languages with a GIL, and any time you have threads exceeding the number of physical cores. In fact, the primary purpose of threads was (and still mostly is) to get a semblance of concurrency... Even the Erlang implementation was single-threaded 2008 or so.
I kind of get the sense that perhaps some people are upvoting this article because of the title and they just agree with the sentiment. Which is fine but I don't really think this article is saying anything new here.

Actively managed mutual funds are going away fast and that's to everyone's benefit. Some were charging 2% yearly plus a fee when you bought or when you sold( redemption fees). I can't think of a single reason that anyone should have any money in an actively managed mutual fund.

If there is a continuum of hedge funds to ETF's, actively managed mutual funds are literary the worst of both worlds. High fees and low ability to make returns.

From where I sit, the biggest jobs that are in danger are sales jobs. There used to be teams of people at mutual fund companies whose sole job was to sell their products to Investment advisers at brokerages with the hopes that the advisor would put their clients money into these funds.

As someone who is on the side of actively managing money, I see this as a strong positive. The more passive money there is sloshing around the more arb opportunities there are!
Final answer: Residential only, not commercial/business property.

Seniors aren't the only ones who need this.

I also want to add that what sucks so hard about businesses being protected by Prop 13 is that businesses can live much longer than people. Disney might keep its decades-old fixed property tax for more than a hundred years.
Well, i'm starting from the premise that governments have the right to levy taxes. If you'd like to argue that point we can do so, but that is not particularly relevant to this discussion.

Ya I don't necessarily disagree. I think the economics should be considered. But I think we should fix the law so that it operates as intended, and/or re-evaluate the original intent in light of economic realities. What we should not do is say "hey wait, this bug is actually a feature, if we fix it, these companies will leave". That seems silly to me.

To make this clear: Nobody in Germany requested a takedown of that subreddit. A German agency (BPJM) sent Reddit a letter with a few questions about that subreddit. Reddit then blocked the site for German IPs but it was not requested to do so.

The BPJM does not have authority to block foreign websites. They do maintain a (non-public) list of websites deemed harmful to the youth which e.g Google uses to not show certain sites to German users. They planned to add that subreddit to this list.

That's quite far from censoring but rather Reddit censoring itself.

This release gained 3k gzipped (it was 39k), in large part due to complete SVG support. In this case I think it was worth it because this was a longstanding pain point.

There may be some ways to drop some dead code that we haven't eliminated efficiently yet. Here is a recent example I found that drops 1kb: https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/6401

It would be cool if somebody in the community could spare some time to look into the biggest factors as well.

We definitely want to have a good explanation for where those bytes are coming from. That is, what React gives you for them. I plan to write a high level overview of React internal implementation so I might as well look at relative size cost of different pieces of it as part of my exploration process.

In any case don't forget 43k is less than many images.
That's impractical. No one can check for video theft 24/7, and by the time a video would be taken down by Facebook staff anyways, the damage would be done.

If Facebook offered an API for Video Search, that would be different, but Facebook's depreciation of APIs that can pull data from arbitrary profiles makes that hard. (you could scrape the Pages of likely suspects though.)
You can't really achieve Erlang's goals with a statically typed language, at least it would be very hard to make it easy to intuit whether a live reload will be sound.

A language that allows mutable state aside from at process scope is also a no-go. In Erlang you're not supposed to think about what code will be running on which machines as you write the business logic, so you have to assume that every process is running on a seperate machine with no shared memory, so no mutable state above the process level. And mutable state at local scope makes hot swapping code messier, although that's easier to work with than static typing.

Nothing about Erlang is inherently slow. Someone could hire a bunch of developers from v8 or Spidermonkey or maybe just Mike Pall to write a better Erlang runtime.
