It's interesting to watch how the financial industry is pushing debt as a substitute for income. That way people can still purchase the products from companies listed on the equities market, without those companies needing to spend nearly as much on labor overhead. It makes you wonder how sustainable our economy is when it's based on borrowing instead of earnings...
It would be great if articles would not say DMCA and be misleading about what is a YouTube process that has very little to do with the law. That way, people would focus on the real offender (YouTube and media companies) as opposed to assuming normal people actually have some legal protection and process provided by the DMCA.

I think the headline in the article and here is misleading and should be changed.
Funnily, the Montreal take on the railroad apartments usually has a narrow hallway going to the Kitchen which is the deepest room.

The bathroom will be "in the kitchen" often as a closet with only a bathtub and toilet, no sink. It's not uncommon for the kitchen sink to be on the same wall as the bathroom and this is the only place with plumbing in the flat (a retrofit, same with electricity and gas.)

Living room will often be right before the kitchen and a "double room" with a large archway separating the two. Meanwhile the front room will often also be a pair of double rooms and normally they're bedrooms with a curtain for privacy or a built up wall.

Usually you only see this layout in older rental units where "renovated" is code for replacing the 1950s gas furnace with baseboard heaters halving heating costs, painting and 100 amp electrical service with breakers instead of 15-30 amp service with a fusebox (my brother's old place had only two 15 amps fuses for the whole apartment. If the fridge's compressor kicked in while the microwave was cooking, pop!)

There's nothing to trust app developers with. The mobile app ecosystem is ridiculous - most apps are so limited compared to what they could be that it boggles the mind. The primary problems: they force you to use the interface provided by the author, and they don't talk to one another.

Android phones become infinitely more useful with Tasker[0] and AutoApps plugins[1][2]. They let you work around the limitations of many apps, force them to talk to one another and to the underlying operating system. Sure, you can technically program Android, but the standard interface to that (Java, APKs) is so heavy and complicated that you can do whatever you need in Tasker quicker than you can create a hello world in Android Studio. Oh, and you can do this on the go, from your phone.

They make Tasker many times more powerful than it already is. They e.g. solved my problem with creating custom commands for Google Now.

I love Python, and I think Py3k is great. But I guess I have written too much C/C++ or something because integer division yielding integers (implicitly "with truncation") is what I would expect and not a float. And I'm a big fan of the "Principle of Least Surprise" but in this case I'm surprised to see int/int give float.

But, hey, like I said -- Py3k is a net improvement. And I'm sympathetic to new programmers and I love that Python's so popular for those new to coding.
This one is also amazing.

1. Buildings last a long time. Inherently you will see a lot of old buildings compared to new. Specifically when those buildings are designed to last and have full time engineering/maintenance staff.

2. Density has become less important over the years. Inexpensive worldwide transportation, and instant communication means you don't need some huge office building HQ. Instead you can have a collection of cheaper office parks distributed over several cities.

3. Skyscrapers are still built regularly, but only where demand justifies their construction.

> Sticking up a middle finger will trash your credit rating and make it impossible to get a mortgage.

I walked away from an underwater mortgage on a townhouse. It only caused my dropped my credit score ~100 points, and was eligible for another mortgage after 3 years (My credit card provider didn't blink, and had no problem allowing me to keep a charge card with high five figures of credit available).

There's a difference between "In a perfect world, DRM is necessary" and "In the world we live in, DRM is useful".

To make a possibly-emotionally-charged analogy, it's like patent licenses for free software. In a perfect world, software patents wouldn't exist. But in the world we live in now, you cannot build practical systems without acknowledging that they do exist and they need to be dealt with, and that you need to be as clear about patent rights as you are about copyright. So e.g. the Apache License and GPLv3 have some text about software patents and how they interact. It is hugely important for some people (depending on their jurisdiction, quality of counsel, amount they care, etc.) that they use licenses like those that acknowledge software patents. That's not to say that software patents are inherently useful, and certainly we should work towards a world where they're not, but if you're building a real project, you have to work with the world as it is.

In the world we live in, the people who own the content that lots of people want to see have decided that they care about DRM. Whether they should care about DRM (or whether the viewers should want to view that content, for that matter) is beside the point for the discussion of whether DRM is currently useful. By all means—including the means of making DRM technically cumbersome—convince them to stop caring about DRM. But the ability to provide DRM is, unfortunately, useful today.

I wonder if it's more related to extensive antibiotic use, both in people and the livestock we eat. I played in the dirt a lot, pretty sure I was at least partially breast fed, but have always had a ton of allergies (as well as asthma) since I was a kid.

I also used to get at least once-yearly (if not more often) sinus, throat, and ear infections, and also received repeated antibiotics for UTIs (that turned out to not actually be infections at all, but muscle spasms related to fibromyalgia). I got scarlet fever when as I was four, and got yearly strep throat until I was well out of college.

As an adult my allergies now include amoxicillin (and penicillin and keflex), which was given to me repeatedly in childhood.

> The more I use the "automatic" checkouts at the grocery store the more I am convinced they are for suckers. They just shift a ton of labor onto me and aren't any faster.

Many years ago, stores as a whole would have employees who you told what you wanted, and they'd get it for you. When they switched to stores where you collect your own items, many of the same things were true—they were shifting work onto the customer, and weren't faster. However, they allow that work to be done a lot more in parallel (since there are lots of customers picking out their own items), and let customers have a lot more control over what they bought and how much they paid. So overall, they were a plus, and very few stores these days require you to place an order with the people working there.

Can't reply to all the comments here, but yours is very worthy of a reply. If I have time today, I will get to it, but very busy at work already.

On one hand, I understand why you have that perception of conservatives. We haven't done a good job of communicating our principles lately (which is why Trump won the nomination, in large part - but in fairness it's also a tough thing to do with so many institutions stacked against us: media, academia, govt administration, etc.)

On the other hand, that's not quite a conservative viewpoint, and you've also picked up on the wrong threads in the fabric of my dystopian nightmare.

In short... I wouldn't punish them for being successful. I just don't want the government helping them or working with them. The government exists to protect our rights - especially from infringement by the powerful (in business or government.)

Instead the power hungry in business and government are teaming up. Teaming up to spy on us, control us, and enriching the businesses and cementing the control of bureaucracy at the same time.

Eg. in spying and violating rights, where does the government end and business begin?

I'm a huge fan of hjson. I agree it's pain in the ass to write JSON, especially the need to double quote everything. My goal was to release this asap and get actual feedback and work on things people want first.

To answer your question more specifically, as long as you can turn a data into JSON format you can run it on Jason. That's what I do in this tutorial where you can turn any spreadsheet data into JSON and then run it on Jason. http://www.jasonclient.org/spreadsheet/

Also there's an HTML parser which turns HTML into JSON format and then renders it in Jason (http://www.jasonclient.org/gallery/show/index.html?id=http:/...)

So I'm sure I can add on HJSON and YAML support. BTW please join the slack channel if you're interested, http://textethan.us8.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=54e23b3fe61... I'm happy to chat :)

What? Seriously?
Even midtown Manhattan has zoning restrictions, which is crazy to me. People like to talk about preserving neighborhood characters -- well the neighborhood character of midtown (say 30th-50th excluding east of 3rd) is tall buildings and streets as canyons. That should be a free for all except for preserving a few key buildings and their environs (e.g. grand central).

Similarly, the telos of the LES and EV are cheap houses built as densely as possible at the time they were built to house poor immigrants. You honor that history most by allowing dense housing not by preserving ugly block after ugly block in situ.

By all means preserve Striver's Row and some of the nice block of Greenwich Village but there's no good reason to keep large parts of Manhattan static. Let Manhattan be Manhattan, if you want static move to some quaint village in Westchester.

> By pushing the job of coming up with options to tools, like the choice of restaurants and bars to Yelp, we narrow our worlds. We limit our expressiveness and creativity.

And the sad thing is, those same tools could help us significantly extend our expressiveness and creativity. Instead of narrowing available options they could be expanding them. Think about this every time you see someone saying it's good to remove features because "99% of users don't need it" or "more features = more work for developers".
It's pretty great having a few grand in cash to throw around every month, but man do you live in a bubble if you think 'most' people do that.

So?

Not sure I understand. I'm not comparing myself to anybody. I'm simply stating that I can't find a reason to go out of my way to read garbage.

Your last point is absolutely correct, and it probably summarizes why I believe the whole "filter bubble" thing is irrelevant or at least vastly overstated: the criteria that I use when deciding whether to read or not read something are entirely orthogonal to what "side" it comes from.

This is doubtful. The average U.S. household carries about $15k in credit card debt.

I can't read the article, but the title is a non-sequitur: overdrawing is not inevitably tied to bank cards. Other societies have things like a direct debit infrastructure which allows consumers to use plastic cards without the risk of overdrawing. That doesn't mean it's impossible though: many Dutch banks allow the customer to choose his overwithdrawal limit. Mine is set to zero.
How do you pay your rent on a credit card? I'd imagine you do that to get rewards of some kind?

Your feelings are way off. Most credit card debt is not paid off every month. Not by a very very long shot.

Average credit card debt per U.S. adult, excluding zero-balance cards and store cards: $5,232.43

Average debt per credit card that usually carries a balance: $7,494.44

Average number of cards held by cardholders - bankcards: 2.24

Average debt per credit card that doesn't usually carry a balance: $1,128.44

The MTA is a pretty horrible railroad operator. It goes far beyond being bad at capital projects. They're not good at day to day operation of a railroad (look at the % of trains that are deadheaded). They're not good at labor relations. There is insane intra-organization disfunction between MetroNorth and LIRR.

Worst of all, they're seemingly getting worse at safety.

I believe a large part of the problem is that the MTA is actually funded/managed by Albany instead of NYC, even though it only serves NYC. That makes 0 sense. I also think it's time to eliminate the distinction between the LIRR and MetroNorth.

I'm both a producer and musician, so i get what you are saying. Never the less dj's make most mobey today so i dont see your point. Yes there are lots of talented producer who dont play live, but in regard to music and musicians in general, the mobey is and has always been in live performance. Most good producers i know and live also has the ability to create stunning live performances. For the rest i can see the problem offcourse; they deserve the gain from online play, but i suspect they actually earn more plays and buts and streams from piracy based advertisement than without. Regardless i agree the topic is a problem in general.
