Very few people bother to vote in non-presidential elections. I keep hammering this point to anyone I meet in the startup scene here in SF. If just 1% of you reading this right now (who live in SF) bothered to vote on a pro-housing basis, we'd immediately turn into a huge voting bloc that could not be ignored. You should shame your coworkers and remind people in slack channels too. A few thousand NIMBYs currently control SF housing policy. Filling out an online form is all it takes to change that.

It's also really easy: register online and they mail the ballot to you. It's called "Permanent vote by mail". It takes almost no effort whatsoever.

You don't need a California drivers license. You don't need to have lived here for a year. You just have to have the intention to make California your current home (eg not a tourist).

For the lazy, SF Yes In My Backyard puts out voting slates of pro-housing politicians and propositions. Just reference that, draw the lines on the ballot, and drop it in the mail. You don't even have to buy a stamp.

> Maybe that experience occurs as the result of physical processes, but it's still a separate thing.

To say something doesn't really exist is to say that it doesn't have metaphysical status on par with matter. If you say that consciousness really, fundamentally exists, then you're saying that it has the same status in reality as the fundamental particles of physics. We should expect to find some consciousness field and particles upon which it acts; or you would have to posit something like panpsychism which suggests that consciousness is an intrinsic property of all matter.

Consciousness not really existing implies that it's an illusion, in the same way that cars, and jobs and countries are an illusion. Certainly they "exist" in some colloquial sense, but they don't exist in a fundamental metaphysical sense.
Can someone explain why Uber had to shut down? Couldn't they have just complied with the regulation?

Here's a Texas Tribune article from today detailing other Austin ridesharing developments in the wake of the Uber/Lyft withdrawal: https://www.texastribune.org/2016/06/07/austin-post-prop-1/
You're underestimating the value of being a company that always has a cab for you within minutes. With your approach, the default in the public's mind would be "there is no uber till 3am!" vs. "Uber is the on the way...btw it's 25% extra due to the rush."

I'm having a hard time seeing this as a win. Maybe I not understanding it. You say 70% of your time is spent this way. Just looking at my own coding there's just sooooooo much busy work. Add this field on that dialog, pass this variable to that other class, write that test, etc ... my point being 5% of my work is thinking about the problem an 95% is typing, testing, iterating. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
For me it was the opposite. I went from spacemacs to neovim and used the experience with layers and well structured config to make my neovim experience superb.

The only time I still use spacemacs if I "feel like it" or need one of the exclusive plugins like a good clojure repl. But compared to vim, I found spacemacs rather heavy. Like IntelliJ vs Sublime.

That's surely one aspect in this case, as accommodating traffic is an important part of city planning. However, there's way more resistance to building high-density housing in San Francisco, which has an even worse housing crisis than the South Bay but all of the public transit infrastructure required for a car-free life. NIMBYism and dogmatic recreational activists can be powerful forces everywhere. :(
> How much space does the average person have in their back yard?

Not nearly enough. In Sili Valley, I live on a 8000 sq ft lot. In much of the USA, people live on 1/4 to 1/2 acre lots. A garden that will produce enough fresh produce during the growing season to feed a family of 4 during the season along with enough to preserve for the off season is bigger than that lot, even before you subtract space for the house. I invite you to do the math.

My mother's garden fed us the year around. That garden was bigger than my current city lot.

I think you are being abusing the meaning of "replace."

Uber is not an austin-only operation.

These austin solutions don't currently work in any other city.

Also- I have heard misery from austin users of the uber replacements. They may be attempting to fill the void, but I don't hear anyone saying they're satisfied with the solutions that are currently festering.

They're valued in the billions because they just work, and the solution could be extended in numerous directions that could rejigger everyone's daily lives.

The charm of pen and paper is simplicity and restriction. It is simple to implement this /bullet journal/ in a plain text file, but then... you want to add a timestamp; you want to add more markups; you want to add links; you want to add tags; you want to add code snippets; you start to move around your file aimelessly for an hour;... You whole text file life scheme blows up in front of you and you don't even know what hits you.

Think of why people like type writers? Simplicity and restriction! You are forced to focus on writing down what's on your mind.

This format is not exclusive to Google, so it could be that individual publishers/networks have different behavior (which is in itself an issue as it confuses users on their expectations).

But yes, just got one this morning (presumedly not Google) where it took me about five flicking motions from bottom to top of screen to clear the ad. Super annoying as the brain expects one behavior and then to see the sluggish movement.
Wow, am I correct in reading that uber just paid out 10k for a OneLogin wordpress plugin bug? Who said open source was free...
I can dig it.

Living in a bad neighborhood exposes you to an in-ideal living atmosphere. The people you are around influence you in many ways and one of those ways is the wrong way --not because people in the neighborhood want bad things for their brethren --but because their way of life and expectations impinge on the growth of the new young people in the neighborhood with respect to the wider society.

Also, it's worth noting that widening inequality is a global phenomenon but not only between people but amongst nations. The inequality between let's say Mexico and Finland was different back in 1910 and what it is now. The inequality between poor and rich in the US was also less in the US back in the early 1900s.
The article suggests that tuples being moved to different storage locations can cause them to not show up in a table scan.

No such thing can happen in a sane RDBMS, no matter the transaction isolation level.
> its quite natural for people to want them kept in the state that they feel best serves their interests.

Eh, it's possible to take this kind of self-interest too far. Like by the same token, you could say, "well, it's only natural for non-poor people to shoot down programs that will help the poor, because it's not in their interest".

Like, expecting people to give up a little for the benefit of wider society is not unreasonable. We're not talking about forcibly seizing people's homes here, just about allowing their neighbors to sell to developers who will build more housing. That's not exactly a huge sacrifice.
I have a hard time imagining HOA/condo rules working against soundproofing--if anything they'd be thrilled about it if you were willing to put in the money, since it improves the value of the property and community. Yeah, renters are out of luck, but too many landowners are too short-sighted to improve their properties and increase rent to capture the additional value.

BTW, wooden frames can be very soundproof, as long as you pack every wall and ceiling with heavy (i.e. rock wool or cellulose) insulation and ceiling and mount drywall on standoffs instead of directly on studs.
So just to be clear you think the ideal outcome is a monopoly by Uber?

With high resolution images you need large amount of layers to for the later layers to be able to 'see' the whole picture. But such a network would likely be unreasonably large for such large inputs, you'd have to look for distributed model solutions.

So it kind of depends on what you are trying to extract from such large images. If it's macroscopic features then you should just downsample your image to something reasonable and feed it into some pretrained network like Alexnet or VGGnet. If you want microscopic feature detection, but don't care about macro features, then you should use a shallower convnet.

If you insist on having both but the resulting network can't be stored in memory and distributed system is not an option, you might want to look into using recurrent networks with visual attention. These sort of look at manageable chunks of the image and decide where else to look based on what they've seen so far.

The obvious solution here is to have zoning that mandates high-quality soundproofing. I don't think the pro-development crowd would object in the least if this was bundled with substantially higher density limits. That's the kind of regulation that's relatively unobjectionable.
I just use adjustable drippers on an extremely low setting, and leave the water spigot on 24/7. One drip per second is approximately one gallon per day, so you can estimate how much water you're dispensing.

Most timers are either battery-operated, or have to be wound once a day. To me, that sucks, and I don't want to have to route power to the garden system. With the slow drippers, I can leave this for weeks without issue.
It's a function of both $ & time. You can't spend a trillion and build a Gigafactory in 1 day even though you are spending 200X the amount of money.
GC has gotten significantly better the last few releases, I don't think most applications will notice.
Exactly. Maybe a better way to look at its benefits is by cracking "security" into two components: scalability resistance and penetration resistance.

Scalability resistance is the probability of a given vulnerability being successful against your configuration. Penetration resistance is the probability of your configuration being penetrated by an attacker focusing on it.

Scalability is a valid security threat as it defines the vulnerability time window due to scarce attacker resources (attack attempts/time unit). Yes, it does and should fail catastrophically -- either the attack is not applicable to your config or it has been adapted and is.

But just because plate armor had gaps didn't mean it was a stupid idea...

What is it? You could actually improve the estimate rather than /just/ pointing out that it has flaws. And your original criticism was vague. At least this one moves things forward.

After a quick Google search, the number of vehicles Tesla sold in 2015 does in fact seem to be a bit uncertain. It seems they sold over 50,000 vehicles, but I've not found a more precise number, in a few minutes of looking.

Sales from previous years seem to be:

2012 - 2,650

2013 - 22,477

2014 - 31,655

2015- ~50,000

though I got these numbers from a quora post, so take them with an adequately large dose of salt.

Like with any online community, Hacker News can be kind of an echo chamber where groupthink reigns and alternative points of view aren't encouraged. MongoDB hype has died down here, but there are still some people that are fans.

There are some things MongoDB does fairly well:

* MongoDB is really easy to use

* Document databases can be great and flexible solutions for some kinds of projects

* Documentation is fairly good so learning the basics isn't too hard even if you know nothing about it

* scales fairly well at the initial stages

* arguably quicker to get a project off of the ground with than traditions RDBMs, which might be the most important consideration for any startup even if a complete rewrite would eventually need to take place

That being said, I've used MongoDB significantly before and it wouldn't be my first choice for most types of new project: PostgreSQL probably would be

I'm not sure where you're getting this. The system is explicitly designed such that the author can not ultimately shape the network into whatever he wants. The only real control stars and galaxies have over the rest of the userbase is that if you want to send a packet to someone who you don't already have a direct connection to, you need at least one star willing to route your traffic. The ownership of these pieces of network infrastructure is intentionally fragmented to prevent the kind of control you're talking about.

What you're describing sounds more like the web as it currently exists under the benevolent rule of King Verisign.

It's called precision farming, and it's done today, with "huge monster tractors".

They link to missing middle housing... http://missingmiddlehousing.com/ as if thats the solution.

Having lived in the bay for a long time - there are many "middle" housing places. Just none of them are new. Duplexes, and multiplexes are almost always in the worst areas, because they're not big enough to allow for walking or being close by a lot of services, but are dense enough to be VERY easily annoyed at neighbors. The only thing they're good at is being cheap to build.

Townhomes are popping up frequently and offer a slightly nicer version, but I don't honestly see much difference between a townhome without a yard and a more dense mid-rise other than available floorplans. I'm all for more density, but what frequently happens is that they build in moderately dense housing but all the plots are walled off from each other, there's nowhere to walk and so you just have more and more cars and traffic on the road. Full density or bust, I say.
Or it could summarize the conclusions of the article
JavaScript and Perl are fun to write. Not sure about maintaining large code base though
I support the goals of increased density and more housing. I can't possibly vote the YIMBY slate though, and have advised friends not to as well. The YIMBY slate supports candidates who are the opposite of folks I'd like to see in government. The YIMBY slate endorses people who have voted to restrict people's ability to sit and lie in public places, voted against police reform and voted to make it illegal to be naked in the Castro.

I'm sorry, but those issues are important and for me, many of the people the YIMBY slate endorses are on the wrong side of it.

We don't have to sell out our values to be pro housing.

Down with height limits, down with protracted approval processes for construction, down with many of the things that hold back progress in the city. Let SF reach toward the sky.

But also, down with the YIMBY slate. It's just a set of candidates who aren't what I want to see in the city.

If the YIMBY slate wants to back actual tangible propositions or policy suggestions, I'm all ears. When they ask me to vote for people they selected because they think they might be "pro-housing" (as if anyone in SF is really anti-housing?) then I'm going to tell them the people I select to represent me are my business.

I'm happy to advocate for pro-housing policies. But I sure didn't and won't vote that YIMBY slate, and for the sake of the city I live in, I hope it's soundly defeated.
