I'll cede the floor to the well know investor, with impeccable credentials, Warren Buffett.

In 2010, during the Great Recession, he said:
...After a few years of such imbalances, the country unsurprisingly ended up with far too many houses.
There were three ways to cure this overhang: (1) blow up a lot of houses, a tactic similar to the destruction of autos that occurred with the ‘cash-for-clunkers’ program; (2) speed up household formations by, say, encouraging teenagers to cohabitate, a program not likely to suffer from a lack of volunteers or; (3) reduce new housing starts to a number far below the rate of household formations.

So, unless you're arguing that between 2010 and now either we blew up a lot of houses or Buffett doesn't know what he is talking about, then I still don't an argument for tiny houses as compelling.

The macro economic issues (massive capital accumulation by the 1%, stagnant wages for the majority of workers, etc) are more in play than NIMBYism and zoning. I'd be interested whether or not you're active in zoning issues in your community or how it is that you came to the conclusion that zoning boards everywhere are responsible for unfordable housing.

The cynical answer is that bookface is turning a blind eye to content theft because they need the eyeballs on videos, regardless of their provenance. It (theoretically) helps metrics and allows them to woo advertising money.

There is no proof of this, I'm sure a ContentID like system is prioritized or even is implemented. Ultimately if you're a legitimate content producer, having a system like this in place would only encourage you to use the platform and it would have a net benefit to usage overall.
This should have been net means bases not mount names basis. In which case I'll be doesn't make much sense even as a horrible hack.

I feel Rust is still not old enough to be used on databases. It is a relatively new language with an amazing future. But it might not be a good choice for a new product that is meant to be the workhorse of a system. C++ is the correct and safe choice under the circumstances. Good question though. Its always beneficial to question architectural choices in order to see the other side of the coin. :)

Sure, you need to be in a position where you _can_ walk away from a job - and be fairly confident you can pick up another one promptly, but leaving company A in Feb and starting at company B in April isn't something that'll raise questions about your CV - not the way leaving company A in Feb and starting at company B in June or August will.

It's a pretty good time to be a developer - most of us don't need to hang around under asshole bosses just to keep the rent paid next week. If you start a new role, and the red flags are waving madly on day 2, strongly consider walking out.

This advice won't apply to first-job-put-of-college devs, in that case you might just need to suck it up for a year, and put off buying that flash new car or taking that trip to Vegas until you've got 6 months living expenses saved (Note, may also not apply so well to fairly well paid junior or mid level devs who've gone way too deep with SF housing rental either... Same advice applies, build up a six month living expenses savings, so you _can_ afford to walk out on an asshole boss if you need too...)

Nope, it shouldn't affect you at all. (Otherwise it would have been noted in the blog post -- that should have all the info you need to upgrade.)
Well obviously threads aren't always running at the same time since each cpu can do only one thing at a time (or a finite number, if we're counting hardware threads) and you can have more threads than cpus.

It's the fact that they might run at the same time. Also from the perspective of the programmer, there's no difference between two threads running at the same time or by time sharing, since preemptive multitasking is non-deterministic and has the same implications as true parallelism.
Yeah, but real-time is about latency not throughput :).

FWIW a lot of game engines use message passing between components/actors due to the low coupling and architectural benefits so it's not quite as small of a domain as you think.

Facebook is not legally required to build a Content ID-like system.
If React doesn't have any patents then Facebook could solve this issue by removing the "grant" or by removing the strong retaliation clause from the "grant".

I am not a lawyer either, but I think the idea of implicit grant is compatible with common sense.
Why would you ever seek to further rig the justice system in such a fashion?
I see three qualms, one "my reckons", one empirical, one moral.

1. If you're already going to trial, especially with "millions on the line", paying out a few thousand / tens of thousands to a consultant doesn't necessarily seem to bad.

2. Given how much jury tuning is going on right now, I would have worries about the quality of the "actual data" and how much insight you could get from such a contaminated corpus.

3. Prosecutors already have an incredible amount of power in jury selection, why do they need more?

I haven't looked too deeply at this particular book yet, but your overall sentiment is sounds very familiar.

Too many people are willing to accept (and defend!) sub-par explanations and overcome them through titanic mental grind. The scary part of it is that often this leaves you with a broken mental model that continues to require tons of effort in application. Meanwhile, much better explanations exist. They make learning easy and fun, while also giving you intuition that is easy to apply and even expand to other areas.

I am pretty good at spotting bad mental models, but it's really hard to prove that they are bad, until you find one clearly superior. Recently I stumbled upon MIT's linear algebra class at Open Courseware and was blown away by how much easier it was to follow than the stuff I had in college, while covering the same material in much greater detail.
Perhaps the React team didn't themselves promote based on file size, But many people have in medium articles etc. I'm the kind of person who works very hard to keep my page size at a minimum, and there are definitely others like me. What do you think of the idea of splitting React up into several files, so you can only input what functionality you want? Do you think that's possible in Reacts code base? For reference, RxJS 5 does this, so you can import the operator flatMap only if you intend to use it.
I am not commenting on NASA's options; I am hardly qualified.

a) If I pay income tax and e.g. war tax, then this is two taxes. b) If I pay income tax and then earnings tax on top of that, then it is double taxing. c) If I pay income tax to country A, then same tax to country B, then it is double taxing.

We are talking about c).

Double taxation is the levying of tax by two or more jurisdictions on the same declared income (in the case of income taxes), asset (in the case of capital taxes), or financial transaction (in the case of sales taxes).

>It could also be that there aren't any patents that cover React.

If that is the case, why have this controversial patent clause at all?

I haven't read them all, but Facebook seems to have a number of patents which at first glance are so broad they could apply to react:

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20160092096A1/en
"a method performed by one or more computing devices including defining a hierarchical structure for a user interface (UI) that includes defining one or more layers of the hierarchical structure, adding one or more objects at each layer, and specifying one or more relationships among particular objects"

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20160091953A1/en
"Adjusting mobile device state based on user intentions and/or identity"

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20150277691A1/en
"In one embodiment, as a user is scrolling through a first series of content items and reaches the nth content items from the first series of content items, display a visual indication that there are additional content items from the first series of content items existing after the nth content item."

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20150113066A1/en
"A communications system including one or more alert gates and an alert controller. Each alert gate is configured to detect a different type of alert feed corresponding to a particular kind of alert. The alert controller is connected to the alert gates and operable to receive detected alerts from the alert gates and to deliver the detected alerts to a user of the communications system."

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20160086219A1/en
"methods and systems that allows for improved user navigation within a group of content items."

I actually had no idea Facebook's patent portfolio was so broad. There are countless more: https://patents.google.com/?q=G06F3%2f048&assignee=Facebook+...
The link you gave doesn't use the word implicit and actually says:

> Wherever possible, make sure you have an explicit license to any necessary patents held by the licensor.

Then it goes on to distinguish between weak and strong grants.

I think you mean weak, not implicit. AFAICT, there isn't an implicit grant with patent law, because the default is that you're infringing without an explicit grant.

I don't know about proving that the market will be "less efficient", as OP put it, but certainly the rules would be quite different.

If 100% of retail investors were in "passively" managed funds, wouldn't that just be saying there's a giant fund of money available, to be split among public companies that meet certain criteria - and thus a set of concrete rules to be gamed?

It would just be another input into the market equation. Investors could then say, "I think the macro environment right now is going to lead to events X and Y happening, which will in turn ruin these 5 companies, which will cause a rebalance in the giant pool of passively managed fund money, and so I'm going to make this bet that that happens."

Of course Prop 13 is distorting prices. It affects all kinds of things. It limits the revenue stream of local governments, causing them to do things like encourage big box store development to get more sales tax. Prop 13 has tons of unintended consequences. Or maybe its framers knew exactly what they were doing.

I ALSO think rent control and airbnb distorts prices too. The Airbnb threat maybe overblown, who knows, but airbnb has maintained in the past they have no way of telling cities how many customers they. Databases are hard I guess.

Generally I agree with you. However I can provide a personal counter-example. I am a student with a modest sum saved away (with great help from my parents) in an index tracking mutual fund. Due to the way my bank offers investment packages, I am far below the minimum portfolio balance required for significantly less fees. However, I can have a mutual fund in a different type of account offering which is essentially the same as an identical ETF.

This is (Canadian) RBC - Direct Investing.

In addition this particular fund also significantly outperformed other ETFs during 2008-09.
Why are actively managed funds paid via fees, and not based on performance?

If someone (or some company) is claiming to be better than me at using my money to make money, surely they'd agree to put skin in the game, and only profit when I do?

If they don't feel confident enough about their choices making money (and hence, ensuring they get compensated), why should I?

edit: I was referring to the types of funds typical retail investors are in, not hedge funds.

I'm not sure the distintion is relevant. In the decision[1] which affirmed the lower court's, the judges applied the "server test"; essentially, they've said it's never copyright infringement if you don't actually distribute it yourself, but merely tell the browser where it can get the image.

This excerpt is particularly relevant:

size images by framing the full-size images, which gives the
impression that Google is showing the image within a single

Criminal history, down to parking records, doesn't come with the juror info sheet, but is usually easily accessible by attorneys.

Even simple things that can be grabbed from facebook/twitter/anything would be useful. Often the halo effect or a person trying to get out of jury duty cause some degree of deception. Anything that can verify what they said in court is valuable. A jury could consist of as few as 6 people, finding that one of them is biased against you and you can strike them is great. The smallest thing can mean a great deal. Say under their favorite books they list civil disobedience, you could easily strike them from a case where one side may be some sort of conscientious objector.

True, if there are millions on the line the attorney would probably hire a consultant, but in that case I think a consultants job would still be easier with my tool than without it and should result in a sale for me, just from the consultant instead of the attorney.

As far as market, not much like this exists, but it is being asked for. There are roughly 80,000 trials per year in the US, a prosecution and defense for each, so 160,000 opportunities. This also makes it such that there are 800,000 potential jurors per year. Some pricing structures I think are reasonable could result in a revenue of under one billion per year.

I'll be honest I've not talked with many people, > 10, but the reactions I received from those I've talked to has convinced me. I've talked to a few civil and criminal lawyers, both public servants and private firms and the feedback is usually ecstatic. "incredible value" might be my words, but "invaluable" was what one lawyer kept saying. Further validation comes from a rudimentary and necessary building block of this, note taking electronically during jury selection, is immature to the point it almost doesn't exist was something I was approached by attorneys to create. The data mining and giving suggestions just seemed like a natural evolution, which so far has been received well.

I know I won't be able to provide everything on every potential juror, but if I'm consistently striking one I'm showing value. And with a pool of > 200 people I'm sure there's someone that I can dig up dirt on.
