I like wide open spaces and I'd live in the forest with no-one around for miles if I had the means and a suitable
plot.

Land, or at least a small garden or garage (in order of decreasing usefulness), is incredibly useful for woodworking, mechanical tinkering, painting large objects, basically any sort of real world craft that's not 'micro'.

My social life is less important than the ability for me to sit on that bit of land that's mine and do things that I want to do.

The urban equivalent of that seems to be going to find a specialist to do whatever you want doing. Basically, urban living is capitalism embodied - you can get some fantastic things done, better than you could ever do yourself, but you're trading for it. And you have to take part in the economy too.
A fence and over/under animal crossings would probably deal with the non-flying animals. Birds require a bit of intervention sometimes.

I wonder if anyone has done a paper on how fast / how dense you can drive automated cars while maintaining a decent safety margin.

Also, different makes of automated cars are going to be a pain in the butt for the system. I'm sure the Kia and Ferrari are going to want to go different speeds.
There's a hypothesis out there, pushed by a few researchers citing each other (including one Bell Curve fan), that environmental lead from leaded gas and such caused reduced IQ and greater criminality among urban residents.

It's not actually a remotely mainstream view among any sort of scientist. However, it has a lot of currency among left-of-center people uncomfortable with the legacy of urban renewal (aka "bulldoze functional poor neighborhoods and stuff everyone in a housing project, then be surprised that things go badly") and the race-baiting nature of "tough on crime" measures that both parties adopted.
Actually, those are not sufficient to implement weak references, and have a much different use case! With WeakMap and WeakSet, the keys are weakly referenced, hence the names. If you have a WeakMap, you can't produce a value stored in the map without a strong reference to a key.

You can actually polyfill WeakMap and WeakSet. You can't do the same for weak references.
It's hard to compare price because it is very rare for two means to compete directly. It's often apples and oranges. A train that moved as fast as plane isn't going to be very fuel efficient. They can be electric (insert source debate) but planes can also run on biofuel (another debate). And when comparing plane-train, a plane burns much of its fuel taking off and climbing to altitude. Once there (10,000m) it is remarkably fuel efficient in terms of passenger/mile at a given speed. And there are times when rail simply won't ever be an option (over large water). The head of RyanAir gave a great presentation a couple years ago about highspeed rail. His point was that, while great if you live in london and vacation in Paris, most people don't live downtown, that planes can land in places much closer to actual destinations --> reducing total-journey emissions.

I'd love a high-speed rail from Vancouver BC to Calgary Alberta, or Prince George (both places I go every year). But building such a structure is a monumental task (10s of billions) and a fast train would take a vast amount of energy covering that distance. Imho trains just cannot compete in such markets.
>TREZOR asks for external entropy during the initialization and this one is mixed with an internal one. Even in the unlikely change that internal RNG generator fails, you should be on the safe side.

Assuming it actually uses it.

>The whole design is (hardware and software) is open-source. You don't need to trust, you can verify yourself (or ask a friend who can if you are not able to).

This doesn't matter unless you build it yourself. Open source hardware and software specs are irrelevant if you have no proof the thing you are using followed them precisely.
Given that it's incredibly important that the planes don't under any circumstances stop they have their own limiting factors. high speed trains using short or ideally variable block signalling and running on segregated high speed lines can achieve spacing which is pretty comparable to airplanes coming in to land.
Even if every new car sold is non-human drivable, it will take a couple decades before the entire fleet is wholly autodrive.

Coincidentally, that's about how long a typical urban rail transit project takes these days. Here in the Seattle area, we're looking at a 30+ year timeline for light rail construction. In military parlance this is known as "fighting the last war."

It would also be naïve to assume that any future tech will dominate the market when there isn't even a product yet in the market. City planners cannot take autodrive for granted.
(imho it won't ever happen. People like driving cars, but that is a different debate)

I like to drive, too, and I spend an unreasonable proportion of my own money on cool cars. But the fact is that self-driving tech will turn driving into a hobby rather than a necessity. Right now, our "hobby" kills about 30,000 people per year in the US alone.

The transition away from human drivers will look like an example of punctuated equilibrium. It may seem like little progress is being made, but we'll all wake up one morning and discover that the status quo has become impossible to justify. Life (and death) on the roads will change faster than almost anyone can imagine.

Poor people aren't driving new teslas.

Not a problem, because the idea that everybody has to own one or two cars to be a full-fledged adult is going to become obsolete at around the same time.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I do not want to hamstring my future by someone trying to claim (fraudulently or not) that my project is related to some idea that they never did anything with.

In fact, I freely talk about my own ideas with people. If they can execute it better than me, then so be it. There's enough to go around. But, usually, people never take any action, so I'm safe.

Finally, when I talk to other people about their ideas, it's usually not something I'm interested in doing anyway, but I can often help them focus their own ideas. It's good networking!

Similar to what happened with voice communication, the financial infrastructure will suffer an inversion[1], the banking platforms will run on top of a global value-transfer protocol, instead of the other way around. What you describe at the end of your comment already exists, bitcoin exchanges are using a federated bitcoin sidechain[2] to transfer funds between themselves within their own consensus rules (they could implement reversals or any other feature without having to break the bitcoin consensus).

What's the current state-of-the-art for network interface -> GPGPU DMA?

I recall reading a while ago that NVIDIA was working on the ability to DMA directly off certain network cards into GPU RAM. Has this come to fruition?

For this kind of application, is there a meaningful speed-up by fetching data from some central data source directly into GPU memory rather than doing the network interface -> RAM -> GPGPU RAM?

It's transparency with the bank reserves. With a bank, you actually don't know if there is gold in their vault unless you go and verify if the gold is in the vault. A consortium of banks can also multi-sign an address, so a certain amount of key holders will have to sign off to move the bitcoin, decreasing risk. Then you can use the bank's services to have the equivalent of credit cards, fast off chain transactions and so on.

I guess a similar gold vault problem is possible with private key control, but that is the same as verifying if the bank still has the keys to their gold vault, a much smaller problem.

I recommend the book "23 things they don't tell you about capitalism" which looks at how tariffs protect local economies. When economic networks flatten, single entities dominate.
Those tight, transit attached suburbs exist. Look to inner ring suburbs around northeastern cities. I live a in a safe, quiet neighborhood with parks, great schools, interesting restaurants, etc. I'm 10 minute walk from a 24 hour metro that takes me to a major urban center in less than 20 minutes.
Uhm. You cannot blame GPS for the bad maps in navigation systems. GPS knows nothing about roads. That's the maps in your satnav.
I used to have to work in both these cities when I did field service. Valpo is a little unique, though I suspect part of that is proximity to the beautiful Dunes lakeshore area. Merrilville on the other hand, is a standard, typical suburb. The intersection of I65 and Hwy 30 is suburban shopping central, mixed with large industry buildings.
Excellent tips. I'd advise most inexperienced programmers (say under 10 years of lisp) to stick to tip #1. You very rarely need a macro in Clojure.
There's a local elementary school nearby, I see kids walk home from school everyday. I'm not sure where you are pulling that data from. A young teenager can walk/bike home by him/herself relatively safely in most of America. Or are we just living in a world where a bit of hardship on a kid is "child abuse" now?
They're not as well-suited because the distances between the major cities are greater. And LA is so spread out with horrible traffic once you get there.

But, yes, the West coast corridor is an obvious candidate if the idea can be made to work anywhere in the US. (As is upgrading the Northeast Corridor where demand is already proven.)
Yes of course. Suburbs and highways cause rape. Nice try.

So what to you tell people that drank the kool-aid and bought heavily into bitcoin when it was around $1000/btc (to the moon!)? The devaluation they suffered in the period of a couple of months was much worse than what people have experienced with the USD over the last 20 years.
Downvote away... but everything about this thread is disappointing.

There is much about U.S. zoning and housing that I believe is misguided. However, I'll say that the pro-suburbia comments in this thread are actually fairly well-written. Most of the anti-suburbia comments boil down to, "blah blah hellholes blah blah heebie-jeebies blah blah everybody's racist blah blah".

That is more of a Reddit thread than the usual HN. Much of this simply sounds like: (A) single renters under 30, or (B) European immigrants, incredulous that they can't double their own take-home pay while experiencing zero broader social differences.
> it's easy to polypill,

It may be easy from an internal implementation point of view, but from a usage point of view I disagree, unfortunately. It disallows using static html/css only web-components which strongly goes against the grain of HTML's intent of providing markup only documents. Granted it's a minor use case these days, but it is important to the underlying philosophy of HTML and strongly limits the feasibility of building a static html-only _and_ modular website. Let's say a client's JS is disabled (via NoScript which addons.mozilla.org reports as having 2 million users). In this case it'd completely break html-only web-components for 2 million plus users, even components used primarily for CSS modularity. Unless I'm missing something with how ES2015 modules will work...? This seems like a major lack of support for any notion of custom-components and particularly of user preferences on how they view the web. Which is probably why this seems such (to me) an odd stance for the Firefox developers to take. I'll be following the ES2015 modules to figure out if I'm missing something in this!

Here's an example use case: tailoring static html based documentation with use case based theming. Depending on the clients origin and/or browser type, it'd be trivial to redirect http html-import requests to support various themes/clients. While technically possible without native html-imports, it'd require either JS support or dynamic rewriting of html files (essentially run-time vulcanization on the server) rather than a simple http redirect to a modular component.

> To that end, support for a restricted subset of <script type="module"> should land in Firefox Nightly

It'll be interesting to see how ES2015 Modules and module loader spec eases the day-to-day usage of web-components. Even with polyfills Firefox seems to be difficult to coax into loading custom components -- vulcanizing the html is the only method I've found to be reliable. I'll test drive the <script type="module"> and file any bugs that I might find, thanks for the heads up! The script module should support x-tag library pretty well.
Why are you assuming that none of us defending suburbs are American? There's a reason so many people like to live in them.
Yea, it's a bit heavy of a load.

I run Emacs under termux on my Nexus 6P. Works great with exactly the same config I use on the desktop.
Sure. I imagine that many families moved to Sandy Hook, CT for safety and security. There's no guarantee in life. There's also relative measure: some of the old timers where I live feel the neighborhood has "gone downhill". Some people are frankly just happier living in a bustling and unstable place where they simply accept they can't let their kids go outside unsupervised until they're 18. I believe we'll generally be happier with where we live over a multi decade span by identifying our personal priorities and chasing the expected value. It's the author's judgmental and absolutist position that I take issue with, that things like tight uniform zoning, "parking first" space, and hierarchical traffic distribution must "suck". They in fact suck in his opinion.
Not everything, there are still a bunch of restaurants and bars and some 24/hr liquor / 7-11 type shops. The noise level although has never been a problem when those are open.

Experience: Living in a place that was right above a bar, a 7-11 and in front of a train.

Also the sidewalks are huge, they are as big as a lane of traffic. As a result cafes and such can easily have comfortable outdoor seating. And because everything is first floor businesses, there are a ton of cafes in a 10 minute radius. You could probably visit a new one every day. Compared to my current place in the usa where I have to walk a few blocks to get to the 'business road', where there is no apartments above the businesses. Not all places are as business dense, but there isn't as much stopping it than the USA lets say.

But yes, things close earlier in europe in general.
> This doesn't apply if many of the transactions happen "off chain" to offer the reversibility benefits you mentioned before.

Large institutions as in banks for example who do make "on chain" transactions but I agree this was not the strongest argument. It is correct that transparency goes out the window as soon as your transactions are "off chain".

> Basically, to get all of the trust benefits of the banking system, you are saying we have to essentially not actually use bitcoin, which makes me wonder what the point is.

Yes, in the same way that you are not using "federal reserve notes" when using any of those services (Paypal, credit cards, wire transfers, etc.). Yet you seem to still see the point in USD, the currency.

> At that stage, why not have gold denominated credit cards? Less technology to depend on and the government still doesn't control supply.

It was the case for a long time that fiat currencies were backed by gold. To be honest, I'd be somewhat happy with that but I believe Bitcoin has several properties that make it superior to gold (e.g. it's digital).
I do believe that kids in Kentucky should be educated differently than kids in Wisconsin. If there was some One True Way to teach children I would see the advantage of setting standards at the federal level, but education research is a total mess. We don't yet have the One True Way to teach, and until then, I think there is a great deal to be said for experimentation.
Ask HN: Are real estate agents the problem with out of control home prices?
If real estate brokers charge 6% to sell a house, and home ownership over a long period of time averages about 6% growth a year, is it possible real estate agents are the real reason/problem with out of control real estate prices?

Here is how I see it. Seller A is willing to take X amount for his house. Agent B marks it up 6% to cover his fees. Buyer C pays x + 6% for the property. Broker D uses x + 6% to comp a new listing and lists the next home at x + 6% + 6%, etc....

Essentially, if brokers use comps to value properties, and they mark up the "net to seller" by 6% and prices average a 6% growth a year, wouldn't that mean that real estate agents are artificially inflating housing prices beyond what wages can justify and afford?
Would cutting out real estate commissions bring housing prices back under control?
Well, America has a difficult racial tension problem. Decades of policy choices mean that inner city public schools can be problematic, so many people are forced to move to the suburbs. They don't necessarily like or dislike suburbs any more than city but they have to move to where decent public schools are
The one at SFO is pretty standard. What's irritating about the one at EWR is that it's so unecessary. The loop seems like it's there because they couldn't get somebody to accept the supporting pillars in their precious car yard, and the general speed is a bit less impressive than the monorail to the space needle in Seattle.
This comment is on every post where something like this is revealed.

Yes, we "all" have known that parallel reconstruction has been going on. Except for the skeptics who require hard evidence of its occurrence. Well, now we have evidence.

This isn't about the practice being surprising. It's about the practice finally being documented.
>I have to pay income tax, just because I receive money through bank account.

No, you have to pay income tax regardless of how you receive money. Bitcoin just makes it easier for you to avoid the law and be a leech on society by not paying taxes.
As you said, it is two different things.

I take the train everyday. For me, travelling by train for < 4h trips to a city sounds like a good deal.

It is generaly a smoother experience than taking a low-cost flight. But, I realize it really depends on how 'car-first' and large your country is. Definately not an universal solution.
Citation for the epic fail?
> What's "infrequently"?

It depends on the time of day. Between 15 and 45 minutes, in my experience.

That said, I find getting to EWR to be much easier than getting out of EWR.
I misspoke -- you can polyfill WeakSet, but you cannot polyfill WeakMap, since you do not know when you can shrink the map. (But you still cannot use it to emulate weak references, since you need a strong reference to get data out of the map.)
Seems like. It's a fairly practical model for a lot of simpler devices. I've seen dedicated mouse controllers along similar lines. Microchip themselves produce a number of devices that I'm sure are PIC-based internally too.
