First off, use a native app, Gmail or another email client. It's lighter since you aren't loading the UI resources like you would in a web app. It can also be set to store messages locally so that the app won't have to query the server for a message you already loaded sometime in the past. You can always disable live syncing and do manual checking to save bandwidth.

If native apps aren't an option, use Chrome or Opera for Android. They both have bandwidth-saving features. Your pages are crunched by Chrome/Opera servers so that they come in smaller to your mobile device. Should you want to continue using Firefox, Opera offers Opera Max. It's the same data-saving feature on the Opera browser, except packaged as a separate app and does compression on all device traffic where applicable.

Further, I don't think the bandwidth savings are that great if you disable JS. Resources like JS and CSS are cached by the browser. Assuming you don't always clear the cache and let it work the way it should, they only impact is the initial loading of pages where it has to load all resources. Further accesses are retrieved from cache when possible.

Again, use a native app or just use the app the way it's supposed to be used and save yourself the headache. Disabling JS is like trying to drive a car but insisting on having the engine removed.

Here in the UK, all high school exams are set by exam boards, which are independent of the schools (the schools get a choice and can offer exams from a mixture of exam boards - so if one exam board is messing up too badly schools can just choose another).

That seems like common sense to me - it makes sure anyone looking at someone's grades knows an A from a poor inner city school is the same as an A from the most prestigious private school. How else would you stop standards getting out of alignment at different schools and across the country?

Can you expand on that statement?

Do you imply bullets (as in higher prices and gun control) when you refer to Lead or literally the reduction of the metal Lead in paint, etc.

And how is it linked to violence?
> How about you live the way you want to live and let me live how I want to live?

If the price of living where you want to live factored in the significant externalities of it, you might have a point. But suburban and exurban areas in the United States largely don't pay their way with regards to most governmental services (and have a significantly higher ecological footprint, also not accounted for).
I understand the economic reality (aka greed) that led to this. But if production was made local again, how does one handle the environmental impact? Or is there no way to make a durable good pair of jeans without destroying the environment?

Doppio uses JavaScript's garbage collector. (As a result, it cannot support weak references.) As for concurrency, thread quanta are mapped to JavaScript events, so Doppio can emulate preemptive multithreading. Doppio potentially preempts a "thread" at each function call.

The nitty gritty details are in the PLDI 2014 paper [0]. Some details have slightly changed, though (e.g. DoppioJVM supports JDK8 now).

Excellent execution, and very cool idea.

Somewhat in jest let me say, "People are complaining that JavaScript is a terrible language. Great, let's put Java in the browser." Now we have an even worse language to code in for the browser.

Note: jvilk explains the perfectly valid reason for this library in another comment below.
Yes, but also pushing the more troubled denizens out of the city by letting the "affordable" housing stock diminish through less government intervention, which I'm among the admit to say has been a great help in its turnaround. The U.S. is a big country, and there's no reason why over 2.5% of the entire population should crowd themselves into its second most expensive city, many of whom aren't and won't ever be working jobs in industries that can't be found elsewhere in the country.
Heh, and now the http is down. I think HN might be the cause. :)
California is quite peculiar. California has 482 municipalities. Whether they call themselves cities or towns is local preference, although fewer than two dozen call themselves towns. The largest municipality is Los Angeles with 3.7 million people. The smallest is Vernon with 112 people. I live in the unincorporated town of Cambria with a population of about 6000. We are about 20 miles from the nearest city, but we have no local government at all. The closest we have to a government is the community services district which runs the water district, the sewerage treatment plant and the fire department.

Cambria is in San Luisbo County which has an area of 3600 square miles and a population of over a quarter million but only 5 cities. California has a law that makes in almost impossible for a new city to incorporate. The new city must reimburse the county for any lost tax revenues caused by incorporation. If your GPS reports a city some distance away, it probably reporting the county seat of an unincorporated area.

Quiet safe urban areas actually exists in large amounts of Germany, while the only real urban areas that exist in the USA are in SF and NYC. SF & NYC have a sizable homeless population, poop on the streets and similar with large amounts of traffic. Suburban city centers attract the homeless and have a large amount of traffic because everyone has to drive in.

German urban areas tend to barely have any road traffic for the density since almost nobody owns a car, a quiet train that passes by once in a while and most things closing at 8pm latest. Need some medicine? The pharmacy is a 5 minute walk away. Board the metro in another 5 minute walk, get to work in 20m. There are barely any homeless or poop on the streets for the most part because they are actually put in social housing and programs (or jail) if the police find them doing that.

You tend to have about 10 square miles of urban area, with 7 story buildings as far as the eye can see and then a sudden drop off into small villages that are everywhere. You can rent or buy large 5 room 2000sqft apartments in these places and actually raise the typical 2.5 kid household in them. In the center of the block there are little common parks with a playground for small kids to play.

If you want your car and SFH lifestyle, the entire city is then surrounded by wooded areas with small villages that are everywhere. You can live in a small village and drive into work into the city about 30m away for fairly cheap. The villages themselves have small urban centers you can then walk into. And some of them have trains, so you can just take the train into the city if you want.

My experience is only with Germany, but I'm guessing there are many other places such as Barcelona, Italy or the UK that is designed like this.

It's a good start, but you need to put up some information pages like a list of boards it scrapes and the last time it was scraped. It would also be good to have the ability for users to submit other suggested sources of data (like Angel.co, which seems to be missing)

Also, if all the results are on the first page, you should hide the prev/next links.

I believe the idea is to create a minimal citeable entity for a piece of software. It's currently hard to cite software in journals in any coherent way - this gives a DOI and a human-friendly landing page, as well as a system for conducting basic peer review of (scientific) software.
They wouldn't understand the sentence when reading it, but may when listening to it spoken naturally, with correct tones, stresses and pauses, if they're already familiar with all three uses of the word "buffalo". Not many people know of the city Buffalo, or use the verb "to buffalo" so that one's iffy. Most people speaking it would use the word "which" to introduce the restrictive relative clause to make themselves better understood. To ensure native English speakers not familiar with all three uses of "buffalo" understand it when reading it, many people would write it "Buffalo-buffalo, which Buffalo-buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo-buffalo."
It would be nice, if they will merge patches [1] for truecolor (16M colors) support in their console incarnation of emacs. Both Vim [2] and Neovim [3] already did this.

That's a good point. I wonder what Zipcar is doing about adjudicating the disputes like this that come up today (since they don't have a human agent inspecting the car for dirt or damage when it's returned).

Bristol's bearpit is like that, there are underpasses that take you under the road and into the "pit" in the middle, so you can cut straight across- much more convenient and less confusing than attempting to cross the feeder roads.

I am guessing you made jeans before, if so can you share and estimate the cost of materials and time it takes for one pair of jeans? Am curious because $225 for time and materials seems like too much to me.

I have an experimental version of chromium running with the JVM somewhere on my HD. It's pretty easy to do with CEF/JCEF.

Two thoughts:

I always imagined something like this should use the <object src="app.jar" /> tag. If you consider that someone could build a browser again with java in it, (like I have) then it would be good to design a polyfill such that, it allows for a native version to exist (and then doesn't run)
Also using the same mimetype for jars, classes and source files seems non optimal.

It would be really good if gwt,doppio,teavm all agreed on a single api facade for targeting the browser API. I think that would really put some steam behind the underlying idea here.
This is exactly the point: Software production and maintenance is irrelevant for academic credit. So researchers do not have an incentive to make software.

> Suburbia exists because people want a quiet, relatively safe place for their kids to grow up.

Yes, but people are making their decision based on out-of-date facts. Because in the United States in 2016, mortality risk goes down as population density goes up, and city kids are statistically safer.

The #1 killer of children in US is car accidents. Guess who gets in dramatically less car accidents? City kids who don't need to ride in cars so much.

The #2 killer of children in the US is guns, and child gun deaths are higher outside the cities, on average. People often don't believe this, but it should be obvious when you pause and consider where American gun culture is centered. It's not in the big cities.

Suicide and substance abuse rates are also lower in the cities. This may be caused by the many small towns with major meth and opioid epidemics pulling down the statistics.

(All of this depends on comparing apples-to-apples: being poor makes a bigger difference than the urban vs rural split, so you need to consider people at the same socioeconomic level.)

> Maybe we should look at is popularity before saying it sucks. Try to figure out why it's popular. What is going on there? That would be an interesting read.

From what I've learned reading here today, I like suburbia because I'm one of the closed-minded, bigoted sheep, and the only cure is for me to live in a City.

See how well this works? If everything about suburbia is bad, and reinforces the bad parts of human nature, they don't need to look any deeper...
From your second link:
>>>The junction provides access to and from the A38 (Tyburn Road), A38(M) (Aston Expressway), the A5127 (Lichfield Road/Gravelly Hill), and several unclassified local roads. It covers 30 acres (12 ha), serves 18 routes and includes 4 km (2.5 mi) of slip roads, but only 1 km (0.6 mi) of the M6 itself. Across 5 different levels, it has 559 concrete columns, reaching up to 24.4 m (80 ft). The engineers had to elevate 21.7 km (13.5 mi) of motorway to accommodate two railway lines, three canals, and two rivers.

I assumed at the time, and at the time of other similar busts, that US counterintelligence (mostly but probably not entirely the CIA), is aware of some number of persons doing illicit intelligence-gathering here. Whether, when, and whom to arrest and deport I take to depend on factors including whether our agents have been arrested, whether there is some other point we need to make, etc. I would not be surprised to learn that more than another ten Russian agents remained known or at least suspected, but unmolested for various reasons: to protect informants, to channel information or misinformation through them, or simply to have someone to arrest a few years down the road.

Can they?

I'm looking at Redfin right now, and they claim the average home price in Uptown, Minneapolis, MN right now is $600k.

There's a few cheap 1 bedrooms apartments, but anything else is way in the realm of "completely unaffordable to all but the extremely wealthy"

I see lots of cheap housing in Minneapolis. But it's all suburban in nature. (Either actually suburban, or 'technically-inside-the-city' single-family homes that are effectively suburban.
A part of why people are buying Teslas is because of the vision of getting rid of most CO2 car emissions.

Despite all the effort involved, when I look up online, most of the $225 jeans is markup. One website mentioned for a $200 pairs of jeans, $21 for the materials, $6 for labor and $8 for for overseas factory profit. So really a lot of it is markup, middlemen, branding, etc. Yet is is convenient to blame it on the high cost of labor to manufacturer it.

Superb idea, it makes so much sense to look up foreign words this way that it's suprising we weren't learning languages this way already.
Did you look? Judging from the satellite pictures, it’s a pretty sleepy small town, and there isn’t really anything outside the “core” (except farmland and a few terrible but limited modern-style housing developments). That core is made up of a relatively dense grid of small streets, with lots of trees and lots of small tightly packed houses. There’s fairly easy access to shops and so on, and while a lot of space is spent on parking lots, it isn’t out of control. The design is significantly different from more recent suburbs.

Looks pretty boring for anyone between the ages of 10–35, and probably still quite inconvenient for the elderly or disabled, but also reasonably walkable.

>The most evil part of it all is the economic segregation. My kids currently go to school with other upper middle class kids. Nobody lives in trailers in their school, or even apartments. No economic diversity translates to minimal racial diversity. It's terrible.

That's by design. The suburbs have many laws built to enforce 1950s racial segregation without mentioning race. E.g. your house must be large by law, meaning the poor are entirely excluded. Streets must be built for cars first, then people, because the poor can't afford cars.
