If L.A. is worried about housing affordability, the real solution is to build more housing: http://la.curbed.com/2015/3/18/9979526/housing-crisis-los-an...:

While Los Angeles County built the most out of any California county in the years between 1980 and 2010, it was waaaay less than it needed to keep housing prices from getting ridiculous. For comparison, in the same 30-year period, "the number of housing units in the typical U.S. metro grew by 54 percent, compared with 32 percent for the state's coastal metros. Home building was even slower in Los Angeles and San Francisco, where the housing stock grew by only around 20 percent."

We have the technologies to increase housing supply, but we've collectively made deploying them illegal.

Google's Postmaster tools always tell me 100% DKIM, 100% SPF but a crazy varying amount of DMARC success rate. Postmark's weekly report gives me 99.9% DMARC compliance. Do you have an explanation or theory? Our envelope-from often differs from header-From but none of those domains have a strict DMARC alignment policy.

I'd say it depends on just how much of a 'not team player' you are. If you want to be completely independent, developing small mobile apps, mods for games, Wordpress/Bootstrap themes, and projects like that where you can work for yourself and by yourself might be ok. If you want to code alone, but you can handle having a customer having the final say on any decision they care about, you can become an independent consultant/contractor. Next rung up on the teamwork ladder would be your typical open-source or small-business projects, where you work by yourself most of the time but your work needs to be reviewed and sometimes changed, and others will typically have the final say on decisions.

You say "best opportunities". If you're looking to earn a good living, that's hard to do solo. Very few people are good at all of the tasks that go into software development (and I'm including the non-development tasks, like sales and marketing of both the product and your development skills here). Also very few people manage to create a runaway viral hit on a small application (like Flappy Bird), where your solo work can earn enough so that you don't need to worry about making a good living on the other solo projects you choose to work on. For most developers, learning to work on teams with others is a crucial development skill.

paragraph of interest:

"Clinton Foundation officials said the organization hadn’t been notified of the breach and declined to comment further. The compromise of the foundation’s computers was first identified by government investigators as recently as last week, the people familiar with the matter said. Agents monitor servers used by hackers to communicate with their targets, giving them a back channel view of attacks, often even before the victims detect them."
This probably isn't surprising, since Bernie was openly considered the outsider, but it definitely doesn't mean it's right. But because it was basically understood this probably won't change anything.
My experience runs slightly against yours. Yes the restaurant food is more on the tasty but unhealthy. But even in general I've found the vegetarian indian diet to still be high in fats and sugar. Empirically (I havent checked the data on this) theres a lot of diabetes (related to carbohydrates) and cholesterol problems in india (related to fats, kind of). my call is despite being vegetarian, the typical indian isn't any more healthier than say the typical american if we're just looking at diet alone.

Yeah, I've worked next to a lunch place that describes itself as "plant inspired" rather than "vegan." It turns out that everything they serve is vegan, and they'll confirm it if you ask, but by taking the word "vegan" out of anything public-facing, it's a lot easier to get people to be interested in eating there.

I personally eat a low-meat diet (no more than 3 servings of meat a week), but don't generally feel the need to eat any kind of meat-substitutes; there are plenty of delicious, already vegetarian or already vegan foods. It does help eating only vegetarian and not fully vegan; cheese and eggs are good sources of both flavor and protein, and make a good "center" of a dish or "main course" of a meal that is sometimes hard to do with purely vegan food without substitutes, but I've also had plenty of delicious fully vegan meals without meat substitutes.

And even when getting closer to meat base dishes, I'm personally more likely to order a "black bean burger" or "chickpea burger" than a generic "veggie burger"; it helps to know what I'm getting, while a lot of the meat substitutes are complicated and processed. And for those processed items that do more often act as a stand in for meat, I generally prefer the more minimally processed ones like seitan, tempeh, or tofu, rather than a "tofu burger" that has a whole bunch of other things in it to make it more similar to a hamburger.

Opening a payment channel requires an on-chain transaction, as does finalizing a sequence of transactions sent over the channel. So for every sequence of off-chain transactions on a Lightning Network, you must put two transactions into the blockchain.

Thus you need to make more than two transactions in a sequence before moving them off-chain can offer any benefit, either at the micro scale (in the parties' cost of transacting) or at the macro scale (to Bitcoin's aggregate transaction throughput, both on- and off-chain). In theory a sequence of transactions done over the Lightning Network can involve multiple recipients and be routed among many parties, however, so a sequence of off-chain transactions need not be a sequence of recurring payments in the usual sense.

Whether a Lightning Network offers any cost or scaling advantage, and how big those advantages might be, will depend in practice on (a) whether good methods can be found to route off-chain transactions between hubs and end-users of the network, and on (b) the statistics of the real-world patterns of transactions that people end up using the network for.

Personally, I think that unless Lightning Networks give rise to major new classes of transactions (e.g., micropayments), then we are unlikely to see any significant scaling win from them any time soon. There is a classic chicken-and-egg problem of gaining a critical mass of users, which will take time to overcome, and people today typically use Bitcoin fairly infrequently, which makes the two-transaction overhead to get in and out of the payment channel significant relative to the likely size of off-chain transaction sequences.

The question is what alternatives exist, and which will gain traction, in the case that on-chain capacity remains severely artificially constrained and on-chain fees continue to rise. Maybe people will switch rapidly to Lightning Networks, or maybe they will switch to altcoins, or maybe they will just stop using cryptocurrencies altogether (or never start). We'll see.

Someone fed me a veggie burger once, several years ago, without telling me it was a veggie burger. I insisted there was something wrong with it, but they said it was fine. They finally told me it was a veggie burger, and it all made sense.

I would MUCH rather have had a good vegetarian dish that wasn't trying to be something else.
We do require an OBD port, which is present on all cars 1996 and newer.

Other than that, it should work on basically all cars, assuming you don't have e.g. an existing backup camera that mechanically blocks the installation.

That's not a given. Some of the features require no ongoing support, like playing media from a local server.

Leave the concrete numbers to the judges and juries. But if today I bought a $700 console from an authorized dealer, and tomorrow it was a brick, I'm pretty sure I'd have a case for getting a big chunk of that money back. If in a year it was mostly a brick, I'd expect less money back. Exact numbers in these cases come down to negotiation.

All this is tangential of course because Sony didn't stop supporting the platform.

> If L.A. is worried about housing affordability, the real solution is to build more housing

And that's precisely what the city is doing. Housing permits are up around 40% YOY, about 70% of which are for multi-family units.

But that's not directly related to the purpose of rent control, which is not to keep housing throughout the city affordable, but to keep longtime residents--especially older individuals--from swiftly getting priced out of their particular community.

At any rate, I'm not sure how construction of new housing in Los Angeles has been "made illegal" as you suggest.
Commodity is when your product has no differentiation on the market. Imgur does not have enough differentiation on the market and that's why they're a commodity. For image centric community you can go to Reddit, Tumblr, or any kind of online forums really. Youtube's differentiation is that it has created significant network effect around public video hosting. Can you think of any meaningful competition other than Vimeo? (Or maybe a couple of others but they're nowhere as close as all the online forums online)

That's fine, but every time it comes up in circles like this one, people talk about it like it's such a great thing, and lament how there aren't enough people doing it these days.

Some things fade in popularity for various reasons; sitting around whining that they aren't as popular as they once were is pointless and unproductive, and just makes one sound like an old curmudgeon pining for the "good old days". How often do you hear people whine about big band or swing music not being popular any more? Or disco? Is it some huge travesty that they aren't? Are you going to downvote someone who says "I've listened to disco, and I really just don't care for it"?

It would be more useful to teach them an ultra-simple language like BASIC (there was an article posted about it recently -- the early DOS version -- still being the best language/IDE to teach kids), or even a stripped down version of javascript.

> Charitable causes do not trump the entirety of the rest of human endeavour and for-profit entities are not intrinsically amoral.

These are trivial near-tautologies addressing irrelevant and extreme positions. For example, some "charitable" causes are outright corrupt.

> By that logic Apple's users could have purchased cheaper non-Apple products and donated the remaining money to non-profits.

Most of us buy expensive hardware because we want expensive hardware, not because we want to pretend to be doing good in the world. Anyone foolish enough to think that they are making the world a better place by buying apple products would be appropriately subject to the same criticism: it would be far better if they bought cheaper hardware and used the difference in some intelligent way to make the world a better place.

> This entire line of moral reasonsing just doesn't work.

That's what happens when you apply slippery slope style reasoning unnecessarily. There is nothing illogical about looking at both (a) what one actually does and (b) what one could do - especially if there are entities praising your questionable actions as socially benign.

You are correct that one 'could always do better', but that is not a 'get out criticism free' card. Further, it needn't by itself change anyone's choice of where they draw the line for "more helpful than harmful". I believe that apple's actions here are more harmful than helpful, and the fact that their actions increase the divide between haves and have-nots is part of that evaluation.
This is probably an extension of the "if developer time wasn't an issue"; at least that's a major factor for me (not being able to develop quickly).

Real wages for the average worker has been flat/down, over the past decades. However, real wages for the rich has grown tremendously during this same time period.

It's heartening that the average worker's wages haven't fallen significantly. But one would hope that given the amount of economic growth we've achieved in the past decades, the middle/lower-middle classes would also get some of the benefits, instead of simply running in place.

Wow, I didn't realise that agar the same products used in science experiments/testing was also the food thing (wiki lists uses as microbiology and culinary) .

> It's true of any platform, but Etherium is at a far higher risk of getting hacked because the language is Turing complete.

Ethereum, the VM/system is Turing complete, but Ethereum of course is not a language itself. [Correction: EVM code, that is Ethereum VM assembly, is indeed a language. Thus, Ethereum is technically both a VM and a language ("EVM assembly code") - which makes the assertion that "Ethereum is a language" correct after all.]

As far as I understand it, all current Ethereum languages (e.g. Solidity) are also Turing complete, though it should be possible to create a language for Ethereum to produce only algorithms constrained with some level of decidability. This is why Ethereum is likely not doomed yet as some have claimed recently. However, and especially due to The DAO fiasco, it's now a matter of building static verification tools as you suggest, or decidable languages for it, and new cryptosystems may show up before it can get to its first killer app.

Full disclosure: No horses in this race at the moment.

As an aside, I think that everyone posting anything about Bitcoin or Ethereum should be posting a disclosure in each discussion (even an abridged one of some sort, just a couple of characters).
