I think this is what they're planning to do.

But it's for a multi-unit building with dozens of places, so this adds a lot of cost because now, rather than using off-the-shelf components ("casework" to use the industry term), they have to hire a woordworker to go in and manually modify each one, at probably 80-100/hr. Not great.
It's not surprising, they've seen the presidential candidates.
This is a lot of revisionism. The Taliban offered to "discuss" handing over bin Laden on the condition the US stopped bombing them. It was a clear delay tactic. They demanded evidence that he was responsible and would only turn him over to a neutral third party. Way too little too late.

It's totally false that Talbian and al Qaeda were not allies. Al Qaeda trained members of the Taliban army. If the Taliban despised al Qaeda tactics, why didn't they agree to the US demands after 9-11. Or why didn't they boot al Qaeda out of the country before 9-11.

Taliban were complicit before and after the attacks.
They are?! Whither do they flock?
This bill is symbolic, unlikely to spur much development.

Either way, I'm all for solar, but it typically isn't the most cost effective way to reduce carbon emissions or reliance on heavy polluting power.

For now, much more effective to simply require more stringent energy efficiency measures. Cheaper. Faster.

On a side note, solar PV production isn't as bad in SF as you might think with the fog. You can definitely hit a 15- 18% AC annual avg. capacity factor, orders of magnitude better than East Coast installs, and pretty cost effective sans govt. incentives given high cost of electricity out here. Lot of good performance estimate tools, out there, but NREL's PVWatts is pretty good for back of the envelope estimates: http://pvwatts.nrel.gov/

As some context, I was an economist focused on solar for a number of years.
Ask HN: What does each part of an IP Address represent?
What does each component of an IP Address represent? Take "215.54.87.2". According to https://www.iplocation.net/ this IP address is located in Columbus, Ohio. (I made up those numbers....it is just some random Jerry.)

Does "215." essentially say the IP address is located in the US, "215.54." say it is in Ohio and "215.54.87." say it is a company in Columbus? Further, a single company would own the block of "215.54.87.*", no? And that company may or may not be an ISP, right?

The above is for an IPv4 address...how does the breakdown work for IPv6 addresses?

I feel like these are stupid beginner questions but I can't seem to find a good tutorial on IP addresses for dummies.
New buildings for rich people lower prices for everybody. Apartments are fairly fungible: if nice apartments aren't available, rich people rent not-so-nice apartments, pushing up the prices of those.
Sad as there was so much hype back in the RAW days of where it would be applied. Then, it became a commercial activity of a stingy company that didn't foster a strong ecosystem. That effectively sealed its fate given DSP's, FPGA's, and GPU's were killing everything in their path if we're just talking energy/performance/price. Your prediction might come true.
I looked up the price and you have to pay per year for this? What the heck?
I'd say this is more of a city planning office problem than a "paternalistic California" problem.

The plastic bag ban caused much gnashing of teeth, but it was a basic instance of market failure (nobody pays for the externalities of bag pollution), and people have adapted fine since the ban took effect.

You see the kind of standards worship that you described in the LA city planning office as well as SF. There will be swearing up and down that this requirement is in place for a solid reason, and then in 5 years the requirement disappears.

Runoff from buildings is my favorite example: a few years ago, you had to ensure rainwater runoff from new structures was conveyed to the street. By pumping it uphill if necessary. You signed a document promising to maintain the pump in perpetuity. (Reason: your runoff could damage nearby properties.) Now, you can't pump runoff to the street, you have to sequester some on-site. (Reason: drought, plus, city can't treat all that water itself.)

Another instance of this is installation of crosswalks. One year, the city refuses to put in new crosswalks because "it will encourage unsafe crossings". Next year, city is putting in new crosswalks all over because it will encourage pedestrian activity, make citizens healthier, etc.
I think the flipside of this is that the capital class has the responsibility to deploy the capital in a way that it drives the cost of living down. We need more companies that do more with less (technology in classical sense) instead of less with more (more overpaid people accomplishing little meaningful work). Also, food keeps going up so much in price, I assume for a lot of people inflation is much higher than stated, because gas prices assume they have a car.

There were several big Pinball machine bans that nearly killed Pinball machines (the big one being New York City's 30 year ban). I do think that all it takes is a couple of concerned parents or a well respected congress member watching a few Twitch streams too many and watch that bloom into a bit of a moral panic and suddenly you'll see some gambling law based videogame bans.

Usually good. Fun part, though, is that doing ad hominem fairly would find all the times the FBI, DOD, CIA, NSA, and so on mislead the public or courts. Then, their credibility would be at zero just like some conspiracy nuts. Then, moderates like myself would win by default given we're the only ones presenting, but not forging, evidence. So, I tell them to bring the character assessments on but apply them fairly and equally.

> Our burden now is to move away from exploitative behaviors, whether of animals or other humans, as much as possible, to progress morally as a species.

Whose morality? Why is contemporary Western-elite morality the correct morality? How can we evaluate different moral systems? What is our reference? What does progress mean?

I deny that moral feelings about animal exploitation have anything whatsoever to do with moral progress or any kind of objective moral superiority. It's simply 21st century Western-elite social norms that many would like to impose on the population at large. Since I like meat and do not feel the slightest moral feeling about eating it, I will do whatever I can to prevent that imposition.

> To feel guilt, an animal would have to have a moral capacity.

Morality is just herd instinct in the individual. Ergo, any social animal has moral capacity, though of course they probably can't reason about it in an abstract way. Humans have no special responsibility above other animals.

The important part is "argued with a Muslim woman" - in real life, AFK. Not "then posted about it on Twitter".

> on account of any action, inaction, matter, thing or event, that occurred or failed to occur at any time in the past, from the beginning of time through and including the Effective Date

So unless AMD made the licensing agreement 7 years ago and kept it secret, it wouldn't be covered by that agreement. That would be an interesting fuck-you the next time one of these settlements happen, though.

> The winner in the German category of beer have been American breweries typically for many years now.

The beer itself is still the old recipes, brewed under the Reinheitsgebot.

Big Brew simply made a shitload of money by selling unsuspecting Americans stuff that a German wouldn't even want to smell, much less drink, and then bought up German breweries to teach them proper brewing.
Doesn't surprise me unfortunately.

While in theory anyone in the US can make it with sufficient effort, the reality is that some people get economically shat on through no fault of their own. Our national mythology/culture doesn't take this into account, and as a result we're incredibly vicious towards those who struggle.

As more and more capital needs less and less labor to be profitable and create value, we're going to need to find more effective ways to make sure everyone's needed, or things have a potential to get much worse before they get better.

EDIT: As others have noted, we also severely undervalue social capital, so we by and large firesale it to accumulate more material value. We work more instead of spending time with friends and family, thereby dangerously isolating ourselves. Thank you all for pointing this out.
Not to mention /real/ inflation, not this useless "core inflation" measure (that ignores health/energy among other factors), has been rising.

You actually posted a link from Hillary's own website as supporting evidence? Do you work for her campaign?

Your first link is good though, but it also supports reinstating Glass-Steagal (did you read it?). It just makes the case that G-S wouldn't have stopped the 2008 disaster, but that its repeal was part of the same bunch of deregulation that happened at that time period, by the same players. It closes with a call to reinstate G-S, along with other legislation more focused on the actual causes of the 2008 crash, but it does say G-S is a good idea and that the financial system needs as many fail-safes of that kind as it can get.

So, going by your first link and ignoring your second one because it's obviously going to be horribly biased, I don't see any non-corrupt reasons to be against bringing back G-S, but you do make a good case that G-S wouldn't have avoided the 2008 problem. However, again going by your first link, it does point out that Citigroup and Bank of America were also greatly involved in the 2008 housing crash and they would have been restrained from that by G-S, so I do think it's fair to say that G-S would have helped, though it would not have prevented the crash.
Well sure. Managed switches aren't a panacea, but the features they offer would have been a tremendous help towards mitigating this. At the least, the SWIFT devices (PCs, whatever) could/should have been on their own isolated subnet and VLAN, with all access to them being forced through a separate firewall.

Even that wouldn't necessarily prevent a compromise but it would have been a helluva lot harder with little (relative) effort.

> The absolute rate was 13 per 100,000 people.

That statistic is meaningless if you don't compare it to the absolute rate for other causes of death. In the US, suicide is the second-leading cause of death* of people aged 15-34, and very high on the list for ages 10-15 and 35-54 (source: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr65/nvsr65_02.pdf, pages 18-19). "A signal of our society crumbling before our eyes", maybe not, but if the second-leading cause of death in a large age group was a bacterial disease, and it has increased by a double-digit percentage in the last decade, people would be calling that a public health emergency.

* Accidents being #1. And since accidents are, well, accidents, suicide is arguably the leading cause of death that we can meaningfully do something about.
