Well, I didn't bring density up - I was just responding to the Berlin vs. SF comparison on density. But I do think that available building space can ease a lot of the discussions. Having to tear down low density (and possibly quality) housing, build in somebody's backyard, cover up small specks of green, et al. allows for far much more backlash/nimby than if there's copious unused/undeveloped land.
This bit got my imagination going (even if the true explanation is likely something mundane):

Another, somewhat spooky example of a tagged shark demonstrates the chasms GPS technology will reveal to us in time. Off the coast of Australia, a ten-foot-long, tagged female great white shark that went by the name “Shark Alpha,” disappeared from the radar. According to the tracking device, at four o’clock in the morning, the shark was suddenly torn five hundred yards into the depths, with astonishing power and speed. Within seconds, the chip also recorded a spike in ambient temperature, from 8 degrees Celsius to 25. That is the temperature of an animal’s insides; the shark must have been eaten by an aquatic predator. The chip could be followed for the next eight days, at which point it vanished from the control monitor. It was most likely voided. Four months later, it was found on shore, bleached by gastric acid. Researchers suspect Shark Alpha fell prey to a much larger creature. It will have to have been at least five meters long and weighed two tons or more. But what was it? An orca? Orcas usually hunt close to the surface. The deepest killer whale dive on record is 260 yards. Another great white? This species has a body temperature of 18 degrees—not 25. Could it actually have been a monstrous octopod or a megalodon, a gargantuan prehistoric predator that some say may has survived, hidden in the darkest depths of the ocean?
> it's congresspeople needing money who give special favors in the hopes of maybe getting money

"Special favors" are only given when the public does not speak out or vote. If the public is largely silent on an issue, the politician's perspective is his constituents don't care about that issue.

Barney Frank: "If the voters have a position, the votes will kick money's rear end any time. I've never met a politician-- I've been in the legislative bodies for 40 years now-- who, choosing between a significant opinion in his or her district and a number of campaign contributors, doesn't go with the district." [1]

We need to discuss and debate the issues more with each other. Techies may also help provide better tools for representatives to gauge public interest.

>It isn't really, but since most terminals are wired and installed at the checkout counter, Customers aren't invited to enter the PIN over at the other end of the venue and aren't keen to, frankly. It is upper class who uses cards for payments and psychologically and culturally they're expecting a full service. Walking to the terminal to enter a PIN is a bit of a "walk of shame".

In the last 2 years or so, since PIN has become mandatory, I've come across one instance where the hotel asks for the PIN in this manner. Most of them have wireless terminals now and the others ask you to come over and type in the PIN. This experience is quite rare in Chennai or Bangalore.
"Men are evil" certainly isn't the message I took from the article, but media bias like a fair topic for discussion. I was interested how this article was created, and it turns out to be funded by http://www.theinvestigativefund.org, which is an offshoot of The Nation. While I don't see this article as terribly "anti-male", The Nation definitely has a strong political slant that not everyone agrees with. Maybe you could suggest a way of rephrasing 'rustynails' points that would be more likely to yield productive discussion?

I'd like to clarify a couple points here. The terminals have been in use for years now across petrol pumps, restaurants, malls, pubs etc. And the majority are the wireless kinds now where they bring the machine to you to punch in the pin number.

And the cultural part about the upper class finding it a walk of shame is, quite frankly, ridiculous. Instead, we feel secure giving out the pin number because we know that the person needs the card and the pin to make a transaction and we'll get an SMS the moment a transaction goes through. And more often than not, we're too lazy to walk to the terminal so we just tell the waiter the pin number.
Speak for yourself. Considerations of urban policy and planning aside, I think the massive identical condo blocks popping up everywhere, and especially the developments in Navy Yard, are awful to look at and unpleasant to live around.
Ask HN: Is data representation a manifestation of the uncertainty pricipal?
One of the big foundational insights that chapter 2 of SICP gave to me was the separation between data, and it's representation. It is important as a programming concept but also as a philosophical one. And the first thing that popped up in my mind upon this insight was how similar it was to my (novice) understanding of the Uncertainty Principal in physics.

Let me elaborate. So the Uncertainty Principle "assert[s] a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle, known as complementary variables, such as position x and momentum p, can be known simultaneously."[1]

In a way, a datum, lets say the quantity "2", that is not being used, or coerced into a specific form in any way (string, number, function, list) also exhibits varying probabilities of being one form or another simultaneously. When you try to represent that data when you set it, use it, whatever, you coerce it into a form, like "wave function collapse". It's stored as binary, mapped as hex, labeled as a variable, represented as whatever forms your language is enabled with (string, symbol, int, float, etc.) and every step of the way, each representation has its various actions that can be done to it. Anyone else have similar insights?

Anyway, I would love more opinion/insight or other reading material on some of the more philosophical insights of programming languages computation theory in this line of thought that come to your minds. Thanks!

I think you'd be hard pressed to find any of us whose ancestors didn't suffer some sort of injustice when judged by today's standards. Most of us aren't expecting to get paid for things that happened over 100 years before we were born and would get laughed at if we started demanding reparations. Why is slavery in the US viewed through this special lens where we're all supposed to take the idea of compensation for great-great-great-great-grandchildren seriously?
This seems purely like a tax on being an old organization.
I have been guilty of sharing the PIN in restaurants, when they don't have wireless terminals (which happens very rarely). There are a couple of reasons why I didn't feel it was a security hole.

1. All Indian cards are chip cards, hence they cannot be replicated (or not replicated quickly)

2. I get a transaction message immediately. I know exactly how much money was charged into my account.

3. My credit card cannot be used anywhere to make a transaction > 20$ without a 2 factor message to my phone.

All these security ideas are built into the system and its not opt in.
some podcasts have chapter marks.

They allow you to do just that. Anyway, check it out. I use the Overcast podcast client (iOS), which supports this (among others).

Some podcasts even provide full transcripts (e. g, Freakonomics).

If the podcast provides neither of these then it's not feasible to skim it efficiently, in my opinion.

Why causing incomes to be equal is a good thing? Equal incomes for unequal work is a recipe for disaster, as those who do more valuable work would be discouraged from doing quality work if they can get the same for easier and less diligent one.

> If these assumptions hold, does that mean that pretty much any attempt at leveling the wage distribution within a capitalist system is destined to failure?

Yes. As much as one relies on voluntarist decrees to override the economic laws, it is destined to fail. Of course, the decrees would affect the wage distribution, at least for a time, and they may temporary improve income for some specific people, but ultimately since the labor price differentials are not product of absence of a decree banning them but of myriad of market conditions, these conditions would cause the prices to readjust or, if proper pricing is prohibited, to go to the gray or black market or be replaced. I.e. cheap fast food places may automate ordering and get rid of those minimal wage cashiers. Or hire just one instead of two and make them work more. Etc.

> i.e. negative income tax, basic income, etc. would also do nothing

Oh, those would definitely do something. Just maybe not the thing you expect them to do. If you institute basic income equal, say, to the salary of a teacher - which is not an easy job - then many people now employed as a teachers may choose to get the same money but instead pursue their leisure or some other less stressful activities. If you still need teachers, you'd have to offer them more to compensate them for giving up their leisure and endure the stress of the job.

Now, these extra money have to come from somewhere - so something has to be made more expensive. People that consume this something would try to keep their consumption level - if successful, they'd get raises too, if failing - they'd consume less, thus influencing those who produced that something and requiring them to be either compensated or find another employment. And so on, and so forth - the ripples are numerous.
Yes, exactly. A unique name for a given codebase lets me google for documentation and source code. "Disk Utility" doesn't help nearly as much as "palimpsest."

I don't think perfect moderation to some global average morality is the future of humanity. It's TV mentality.

I think the future is keeping vulnerable groups apart from offensive groups. Hellbaning and honeypot bots are the future. White supremacist can talk to other like him all day long and there's no harm done. Ones that would like to talk to black people or just people who get offended by racism should get algorithmically administered silence or honeypot bots that will react in best way possible to defuse and calm down without engaging human in distasteful content.

Plus side of this solutio is that you can keep tabs on potentially dangerous people and react if they escalate or brag about physical harm they do.

Personally I wish iOS did have more fine grained permissions. I agree with you on location but I'd really like

1) Has permission to read your contacts
2) You can access an OS level contact screen to choose a contact but the app can't read the list of all contacts
3) Has permission to write to contacts (remember when facebook changed contact to have a facebook email address? Would prefer no permission)

Photos. Currently it's all or nothing. I'd prefer

1) can write new photos
2) can read old photos

Taking a photos right now is "can access camera" where as I'd prefer no camera access for most non-camera apps (facebook) and just a way to launch a system camera. I don't want apps to have the ability to keep the camera/mic on without my knowledge but "can access camera" = can use constantly without my knowledge while app is running.

Yes I know I can get around some this by doing it manually (don't give app camera permission, swap to built in phone, take picture, do give permission see 100% of my photos, hope they aren't uploading my private photos, choose photo I just took).

It's not enough IMO especially in this age of the revealtion of all the apps that spy
>the pollution won't be much of an issue

Depends. In St. Louis, for example, a fully electric vehicle produces the same pollution (via the power plant) as a 36mpg car [0]. That's about in line with a highly-rated compact like the Golf or Mazda3 these days.

Electric vehicles give us the capability to reduce emissions by building cleaner electrical infrastructure, but that does not mean we will do so.

Alright, so then we still arrive at what constitutes a requirement to say "yes our products contain the element lead"?

Is it 100 parts per million? Note, this is the amount allowed for inks for printing as an example. If yes, at what parts per million would Apple or any other manufacturer be required to state such?

Also what manufacturers do report and remove lead from their products that are in the same space as Apple? What cost are we willing as consumers to bear to enable this yes response? If it ends up meaning a phone is 10 000 dollars do you still believe this to be reasonable?

http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Educ...

I'm more of the opinion the general public should educate themselves on the allowed lead content and not Apple or any other company.
To save some time: because the injustice didn't stop at anyone's great great anything.

It's not just about the past; it is about the persistent and continual racism that has continued, unabated, for hundreds of years.

> The new car market dealership model actually obfuscates the price so much that prices can vary wildly by thousands of dollars for the same model and package options. It is a very consumer unfriendly process.

This is even more true for housing, where prices vary wildly by tens of thousands (or occasionally hundreds of thousands) of dollars for very similar quality/space/location housing.

A used car can usually purchased in a single day. A used house can take anywhere from 3-6+ weeks to purchase (from initial offer to actual possession).

And housing purchases are so unwieldy that both parties must hire their own agents and insurances (at a cost of thousands of dollars, each) to represent each of them through the entire transaction.

Purchasing processes don't get any more unfriendly than that.

> The used car market is full of scams, and has the used-car salesmen ever been seen as a trustworthy individual?

This is even more true for housing, where scams are so common that they're just automatically factored into housing costs by default as "maintenance".

It's even more insane because "multiple things quickly failing" is expected even for brand new housing. To the extreme that brand new cars typically carry a 36 months "everything" warranty, but new houses usually only carry 11-12 months of similar guarantee, despite costing 10-20x more.

---

If anything, I wish the housing market was more like buying a car. Because despite all car-buying's flaws, it's at least possible for me to get something I'm fairly content with, at a price I can reasonably afford.

The hope is that autonomous cars will be much cheaper once you take out the human element; when a taxi costs $30 for a routine trip, and Uber/Lyft still have to pay their drivers >minimum-wage, you cannot cater to the elder niche of doing groceries and making regular doctor trips, not to mention the useful aspect of 24/7 coverage.

There's also the psychological issues: elderly people don't want to be a 'burden' or rely on strangers, and autonomous cars neatly solve both issues.
