A way to see the SLOC for a repo.

It helps me realize how much time I might need to dive into and start understanding it. Some packages look deceptively large from boilerplate but really have just a couple hundred lines of real code. Others have everything in one or just a couple files but with many thousands of lines.
I was thinking the same thing -- this law is more like a hypothetical law requiring people who rent out their cars (not the renters themselves) to register with the city, and requiring Getaround to police that registration.
Media is owned by corporations and the elite. They want freedom of movement, because cheaper labor to exploit and easier to move capital around to make more money. They also want one set of rules and laws and taxes. They also find it much easier to manipulate a single body than multiple bodies. If you want certain policies it's much more effective if you have to buy one government over many different governments.

Elite, the few of them that there are, want one world government that allows them to dictate all the policies and tax the population for things like patents and copyright. They want more power and the way to get that is to get everything under one umbrella... or as few umbrellas as possible. It's easier for them to manage their interests that way than if they have to deal with multiple governments all of which represent potentially different power structures and groups.
Didn't mean to sound personal - I was just involuntarily baiting the editor war discussion ;).

> What happens when you quit and restart?

I'd lose the changes because I applied them only to the runtime configuration. It'd be a few seconds more of work to save them permanently to my configuration though.

In general, Emacs implements syntax highlighting by applying various "faces" to the highlighted parts. Those faces are highly customizable - including font foundry/family, various sizes, slant, as well as various decorations, foreground & background colors, etc. It has no problem rendering multiple fonts simultaneously (which is actually pretty useful if you're dealing with Unicode characters - your typical programmer's font won't have glyphs for many Unicode characters, so you can set "fallback fonts" for those).

To de-bait the editor war trap, I think Eclipse can also pull that off, but I've left the only instance I have at work so I can't confirm it now :).

EDIT: Crap, I think I misunderstood you.

Did you mean "annotating" code with temporary style changes, especially in a semantic way? If so, I don't know of any editor that would support it out-of-the-box. In Emacs, you could probably hack your way around this with temporary font-locking (aka. adding an on-the-spot syntax highlighting for a particular symbol, and applying all the face-configuration-magic I described earlier), which I sometimes do when digging through log-files or grep results - there's a family of functions like "highlight-line-matching-regexp" or "highlight-symbol-at-point" with which you can quickly assign such highlights (and then there's a command that will write out all highlights in the format that you can save as a file-comment so that Emacs will reapply them the next time you open that file). But this is a hacky solution, IMO.

This also brings me to my observation that there's literally zero tools out there for reading code. Something I'd love to change, and I keep gathering ideas, but I sadly lack time ATM to make even a proof-of-concept.

> If you discount all the hypothetical environmental costs that at best guess are just that, guesses

That VW's behavior caused some environmental impact is not a guess. The guess is only to the extent of the damage.

> it would have been cheaper for VW if they would have been killing the consumers of their cars.

That is ridiculous. The death toll would be many times 9/11.

USG would've seized by force every asset inside its borders and a lot (or all) outside of its borders. Not only of VW but of any contractor that might've may had something to do with it. For starters.

> Uber is constantly praised for skirting or directly violating state or local government laws

And also constantly criticized, and sometimes shut down.

But more to the point, violating different government regulations (by extension, different laws) has different outcomes. Why is that surprising/concerning, again? Federal environmental regulations SHOULD be treated more seriously than local taxi rules.

> This is the government's heavy hand making an example of VW and it's violation of regulation.

On only his can we agree. The message is clear: fines for willfully ignoring environmental regulation are not a cost of business.
I think "unsprung weight" is a different idea, at least in bike racing. Unsprung weight represents the weight not supported by suspension. In road racing, the suspension is the rider, so the entire bike is unsprung weight.
New?

The best cities are pretty old, and mostly in Europe.

They figured it out 100's of years ago.

'Affordability' has nothing to do with cities - it has do to with regional economics. The Valley is a singularity.

Other cities with bubbles like Vancouver and London has to do with unrestricted purchases by foreigners.

Otherwise it's not hard.

Lost in any West Coast discussion of 'cities' will invariably be the most important thing: culture. Cities revolve around people, activities, and things that are hard to measure.

The best 'urban planners' fail because they are focused on wide roads, less traffic etc. - when in reality, cities that form naturally, around people and their communities, with individuals who act responsibly ... are the best.

There are 1000 100K+ cities in Europe that are pretty spectacular: clean, interesting, walkable, cultured, local, great for families, low crime, affordable. Surely there are many in Asia as well, though with differing kinds of economics given political instability lately.
>Regardless of how strong Airbnb's legal standing is or isn't, they are the definition of a company who believes it better to ask forgiveness then permission.

not really. they were caught, and their response is f* you, rather than to ask forgiveness. whether or not you agree with their behavior, they are very much NOT asking for forgiveness.

I'd like to find more resources / books (I love audio books these days) that answer some of the questions at the bottom of Marc Andreesen's original post:

- How exactly do you go about getting to product/market fit if you don't hit it right out of the gate

- How do you know when to change strategy and go after a different market or build a different product?

Anyone have books on some of these mechanics?
So basically SF wants companies like Airbnb to do their police/enforcement work for them. The city should be going after the unregistered renters themselves. Sure, that's potentially harder, but I can see that it'd be a burden to order a company to do it for them.

I hope we can do better than NYC and Paris for public transportation. Paris's are smelly. NYC haven't been updated in forever.

I'm not trying to be negative, only pointing out there's better. On my short list I'd pick Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Singapore, HK (maybe), even London's is pretty nice compared to Paris. It's clean (at least in my limited experience) and at least for convenience Berlin's is pretty amazing.
Rarely is an audio concept given such a fitting visual analogy. Those in an echo chamber do seem to reverberate, or glow, with the energy that surrounds them.
People will definitely still complain about that factory. People move into houses directly under the approach path for an airport then try to get the airport shut down because of the noise. People will move in next to a sewage treatment plant and then complain about the smell.
When does Campoes term out anyway?

There certainly is a struggle between ownership rights and the right of cities to regulate business within their jurisdiction.

As a renter, I can sympathize with wanting to avail more rental properties to renters, but I am also very uneasy with politicians dictating what you can and cannot do with your property when that act in and of itself is not otherwise illegal. It's not confiscation, but it also kerbs your ability let your property as you wish --and I say this as a renter who arguably would benefit from this politician's policies.

PS move HQ to Brisbane and take the corp taxes with you.
Asana was never a hot company.

Barely any companies even have extended exercise windows, so you can't go around excluding companies from the list because "they don't count". Also your logic is almost circular, because a16z tends to only invest in hot/great companies, by definition.

You can go down the list: https://github.com/holman/extended-exercise-windows. Many other companies have a16z as an investor. Tilt and CodeCombat are two of them.

A note some HNers might find tangentially interesting: in David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, Fourier transforms are a bedrock concept for the titular entertainment, which is considered such a perfect piece of media that it is lethally addictive.

First link, they call him racist. Because he opposed their casino; zero evidence of racial bias, just cutthroat business. Seems like exactly what the GP is talking about - just throwing insults.

Second link is Trump pointing out exactly what the first article says! That X place wants to run a casino, but can't get legal permission. So they go to Indian tribes to get the legal part bypassed. It hardly seems bigoted to point out this is just exploiting a legal loophole.

It does everyone a disservice to so lightly throw around these words. If I were to start calling every panhandler/beggar that bothers me "assault", people would discount it. Same with all these accusations - they are losing their impact and people will start ignoring it. If Trump and the like are to be defeated, his opponents are going to have to come up with more substance instead of yelling "bigot".

(I'm in Guatemala, and some people here realise how good Trump will be for them. By blocking illegal Mexican immigration, if immigrants are needed, it'll open up more legal pathways for countries that aren't Mexico.)
I'm sure many shareholders had no idea this was happening. It's not like VW had a shareholder vote to decide whether to cheat on emissions or not.
"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."

I think it'd be safe to say that Airbnb would have a tough row to hoe trying to base their case on the Third Amendment.
I have no doubt that you can apply various decorations to text, but that is also the part relatively less interesting to me. I'm more interested to see in what format you would save emacs's runtime configuration that would allow it to embiggen just one '&rest' in a file. Can you show an example of what this elisp would look like? Markup seems the most natural approach to me, to avoid issues with files getting renamed, etc.
The conclusion I mead from that summary is not about the value of static typing one way or another but just that the empirical evidence on the matter is unclear and uniformly weak.

Perhaps this is just a matter of will and funding, but I suspect it's because the underlying question is poorly specified and—like most human issues—extremely hard to study. To me, it's not obvious that asking about static typing in isolation from other parts of language design is meaningful at all.
Uhmm...I also want freedom of movement. If somewhere else is going to pay me more for the same job, I'm moving there.
I would submit that this maxim does not well apply to the business model of AirBnB, Lyft, Uber, and the like.

They do not IMO represent an interesting application of technology. Just the profits of exploiting lag time between what is possible, and what is 'burdened' by consumer and labor protections.

I.e.: the industries they have moved into are highly regulated for pretty transparent reasons. Their MO works well until the regulators catch up.
Theranos was never in the category of going-to-IPO-soon.
> David Campos, a supervisor who has been harshly critical of Airbnb, called the ordinance a "modest piece of legislation," according to the San Francisco Chronicle, adding "If you are a rental car agency, you have to make sure the person that you rent that vehicle to has a license before you rent them a car. That is exactly what we are asking the short-term platforms to do here."

This analogy is obnoxiously flawed.

There's no way they can reliably calculate that. Any increase in deaths could just as easily be attributed to the increase in popularity of country music and therefore diesel truck sales. All we can reliably say is that the environment is worse off.

Also, 59 seems like a statistically insignificant number when compared to the overall population. Or maybe I'm interpreting it incorrectly?
People who buy housing just to rent out on AirBnB would find it more economical to rent out to a long term renter (because the licensing is actually less onerous), thereby increasing the rental supply and lowering rents.
Ah, just saw your edit. I'm not sure what you mean by 'temporary', but there's two axes here:

a) Is the formatting saved across restarts?

b) Is the formatting customized for tiny parts of a file?

What I'm looking for is 'temporary' for b) but 'permanent' for a).

> This also brings me to my observation that there's literally zero tools out there for _reading_ code. Something I'd love to change, and I keep gathering ideas, but I sadly lack time ATM to make even a proof-of-concept.

By disallowing properties which would otherwise be put on the rental market strictly on ab&b thus arguably subtracting this unit out from the rental market.
"The telemetry is only in the tools and does not affect your app."
I'm sure people have different opinions on this but one thing I like is variety and grunge. I don't really know how to explain it. I want more SF's Valencia between 16th and 18th and less Westfield foodcourt's. I want more Golden Gai in Tokyo and less Roppongi Hills.

I used to want the Jetson's or Disney's Epcot. Now I want 150 tiny bars and restaurants each one holding no more than 20-30 people at best (generally). Less big box stores and less chains (not zero just less) and more boutiques / specialty shops and restaurants

Of course arguably the general public doesn't want that though. If they did the USA wouldn't be 95% big box shopping centers and 95% giant chain restaurants.

I've wondered how to build for that. Tokyo, where I spent most of my time, is having lots of older interesting neighborhoods torn down and replaced by tall glass buildings with at best a generic shopping center at the bottom. The architecture might be ok but the feel is gone and ends up feeling cold and sterile. I get the old places are often fire traps or earthquake hazards but I just wonder if there's a way to design the new places to some how capture the essence of what it was before the change.
All of the Turing Lectures
I do too, that's where elite interest and interest of modern workers converge and they use that to justify their policies. But often those policies are not good for the locals. Many immigrants do work harder than the locals. Which creates more competition and allows you to exploit the local population better in terms of offering them lower pay and longer hours and fewer benefits. Combine that with automation and you really have too much power in the situation.
That's another great point: if you invest more time at a company, and have no real control, then you are out of luck when the liquidation actually happens.

Startups are faith based to some extent, and it's unwise to put so much time on pure faith in a business relationship.

But your neighbors might not want you to let out your place to an endless parade of strangers. This is a case where the government needs to listen to the people, and determine if the majority want more freedom or a nicer neighborhood.
Firstly, while I think Scott is wrong, I don't see much that's disrespectful or implying disloyalty about his tone. Not even the stuff about "dead equity."

I'll extend some comments I made downthread:

a16z is a major investor (growth round resulting in a board seat for a16z) in many of the companies that have extended vesting periods, such as Coinbase, Pinterest, Asana, and Tilt (list here: https://github.com/holman/extended-exercise-windows). They also invested in CodeCombat and I'm sure some other startups on that list (I didn't check them all). So I seriously doubt they block companies from doing extended exercise windows.

And claiming that those companies were/are hot and therefore had leverage is a bit circular because hot companies are the kinds of companies a16z often funds in growth rounds (and often it is because a16z funded you that makes you hot).
You are always in a position to refuse and I would assume that in most places if the price is astronomical you would have a pretty good case in court after the fact.

Death penalty sort of happened for Tokyo Electric after the earthquake. Turns out Tokyo Electric had a chance to prevent the disaster but didn't and things got out of control. The company wasn't able to pay fines and the government couldn't simply shut down the company that supplied 30% of the nation's electricity. So all of the executives were fired and the company went under government control.
We are one planet. The real problems are not economy, but the environment. This will force everyone to act together as one planet drifting light years away from anything else known to be habitable.
Yeah, I've missed your point initially.

I don't know how to do that exactly. In Emacs per se, you could probably abuse bookmarking facility - there are some built-in ways for Emacs to remember a particular place or region in a file that are somewhat resistant to changes in other parts of the file; AFAIR they involve a combination of storing the line number and the pattern describing the marked text / its surroundings. Or something like that. I've been playing with some Emacs libraries for annotating parts of file that would store those annotations in a separate place, but they were all rather crude. It's definitely an area that needs a lot of work.

Markup seems to be the most robust approach, but sadly, it isn't supported by pretty much any tool in use.

Seriously?

Uber had not proven how much of a quality-of-life improvement it was for users, there is absolutely 0% chance that any city councils would have reformed taxi laws and made explicit exceptions for them, sight-unseen.

They are only BARELY at the point where their critical mass of users can force city governments to give them a legal path (see: de Blasio in NYC), and even that doesn't always work (see: Austin).
