Hmm I disagree. At first it isn't intuitive, then it becomes intuitive after practice. I think what the commenter meant by "once you understand" is "once you have practiced." Sort of like how skiing becomes intuitive but isn't at first, or such.
From my experience, the problem is not how does any NoSQL solution stand up vs. any other NoSQL solution. The question to ask is "What caveats affect me the least?" and then go with that NoSQL solution. In the case of MongoDB, the biggest issue (at least in the past) is that the caveats simply aren't known well, or at all!

Compare this to something like Elasticsearch, which is well-known (and well-documented) to have data loss in certain situations.
I'd love if Toronto had more 5-story apartment buildings. I don't want to live in a giant condo having to take long elevators and pay expensive condo fees. But I hear it's nearly impossible to get regulatory approval to have those built here, it's either big high rise condos or nothing.

Montreal's plateau has a nice arrangement. Plenty of 3-5 story houses built in the 1950-60s broken up into multiple apartments making it the highest density area in Canada. Rent is super cheap ($450/m got me a large bachelor unit a few years back that would have been around >$1000 in Toronto).

It appears that there were multiple F-16 sorties flown.

Apparently, Early on, a "coup" F-16 dropped bombs near the presidential palace.

The Blackhawk (possibly with door gunners) and Cobra attack helicopters were "coup" controlled. One Blackhawk was shot down by a "loyalist" F-16. The sonic booms heard later in the morning were likely loyalist F-16s. An F-16 can't stay in afterburner, or fly supersonic at low altitude for very long even with external tanks. The loyalist F-16s were refueled in the air from a Turkish AF tanker.

If there were coup controlled F-16s anywhere near Erdogan's aircraft, it would be stupid to fly in circles. The F-16s could shoot it down from over 20 miles away. It was more likely they were waiting for ground forces to secure the runways before landing.

Note: This is based on my opinions, and available public news sources.
If there's no market for them, they won't get built. But people want to live in places like NY and San Fran for the economic opportunities they provide, not just for "the character of the neighborhood".

The original version of that was the Dimond ring translator for #5 crossbar.[1] The purpose of this device was to translate a line position in the switching system to the phone number for billing purposes. It was a big ROM which could be manually changed by moving wires. This allowed some phone number portability - if you moved within the same central office area, you could keep the same phone number.

It shows how hard it was to make a memory device in the 1950s. For a long time, that was the bottleneck in computing. Electronic arithmetic units date from around 1940, but memory devices that didn't suck only came in around 1965, and didn't get cheap until around 1990.

I agree with your point here, but you need to go into it further.

What do you think his goals were? What were the side-effects of his methods? How did the latter detract from the former?

For example, if the goal is American hegemony, and only foreign losses were realized in pursuit of that goal, then it's a clear victory from a policy standpoint. Morality doesn't enter into it.
Another issue is water: the more people, the more water. No one in California wants that. so the farm lobby can paradoxically be incentivized to vote for housing regulation as long as it doesn't affect their labor costs inland.

And also, it would surely be useful for law enforcement. Has it been shared with the courts?
You're already feeling that pain, in housing or not. The dysfunction is systemic and it's influence spreads. It's like not having universal healthcare; the problem manifests to a point where too expensive to ignore any longer cases show up in the ER. Then it gets built in to the prices everyone that can pay pays.

I really like the "Idea Introduction Pattern" template. I think it's a good way to give a concise description of any business project:

For [target customers], who are [dissatisfied | frustrated | ...] with [the current offerings in the market].
My idea/product is a [new idea, or, product category]
That provides [key problem/solution features].
Unlike the [competing product],
My idea/product is [describe key features]
My name is [name], [role] of [company]
& we are [changing the way ...]

I learned about it at an event at the Montreal Startup Breakfast Club. The presenter credited Geoff Moore for the original template.

Why should continuations need to safely work across language boundaries? Plenty of Schemes support FFIs with the enormous warning that call/cc exists and you should be aware of that.

This solution is hugely superior to having none at all; as it means that bindings to foreign libraries may trivially be ported across many Schemes. Choosing the right Scheme will be less about what libraries are available, and more about which provides the best execution environment for your needs.

In this case, doing the right thing happens to be doing nothing more than warning the user, as is often the case. Attempting to design a system that safely captures foreign state with continuations is almost certainly an over-engineered solution.
Californians (I am one) can certainly decide this. Many actively hold this view. If we decide this, we have to live with the consequences, which I believe are indefensible from a moral standpoint. We're making it untenable for lower income families to live and work here.

As far as your second point, I don't think you know that demand for housing is so inelastic that the clearing price for $/square foot would remain static regardless of supply. I have a feeling it would retreat if more supply came on the market.
There are plenty of places in California where you could buy a home for $100K. The article does a very poor job of demonstrating a causal relationship between "regulation"--he doesn't even cite any specific ones--and basic supply/demand dynamics that are common to major metro areas throughout the world.

All he's got is a very hand-wavy argument and a chart that abruptly cuts off circa 1994.
Is it still done that way nowadays? Your description is my dream job.
It would have further allowed the continued justification of western imperialism as a 'reaction' ..
Because housing in California is just different than the rest of the US; there's really no other way to describe it (Illinois born and raised, now living in SF).

A lot of CA people explicitly treat their home equity as their retirement fund, planning to "cash it out" when they retire. Then there's the people with loans they might be cashflow-negative on month-to-month (paying down a sliver of principal), who are hoping to re-amortize into a new 30-year loan when their value goes up, hopefully cutting some of their payments.

I'm 31. My household income is well over 200K and I have many friends in the same boat, and none -- I really mean it -- zero -- of us own homes. The only hope is to get into a "starter home" as some other commenters describe and then hope to have enough equity that if you ever want to have a kid or live in a non-shoebox, you'll be able to afford to make a big down payment on a new place.

I hate this because it seems extremely financially imprudent, but realistically, your options are to play the game or move. There just isn't sanity in/around the Bay Area housing market.
How I manage multiple Node.js versions
Hah I rushed that answer but yes totally agree. When I'm dev'ing for web, I always monitor perf against a crappy old Android phone. Similarly, Chrome devtools makes it easy to simulate a bad network connection. I try to make sure it's tolerable.

Also worth noting that analytics makes it easy to determine what device/OS the majority of your visitors are using. Anyone building an app would be wise to pay close attention to this to guide dev efforts.
This post made me think of a little history.

There were plenty of problems in the 19th century, but the ideas of the era did not lead them to suppose that the first answer to any problems was red tape.

The effects of this difference are huge. I know this isn't quite apples-to-apples, but a rather stark comparison comes to mind: Using the comparatively primitive technology of the 1880s, James J. Hill was able to build a transcontinental railroad in a decade (using private finance). Here in Seattle, the public transit authority says it's going to take two or three decades to build a train that goes just six miles.
> If a secular military coup looked likely to be successful, the west would be ecstatic.

What the West wants is a secular, pluralistic, economically and socially secure and stable Turkey under the rule of law. A military government might tick one or two of those boxes in the short term, but the rest (and all of them long term) can only be achieved via democracy.
If that were true I'd expect to see something of a continuous spectrum of suck extending from the 1970's to today. But instead it's not like that at all - the bay area is hugely prosperous and happy until the late 2000s when a confluence of factors led incredibly rapidly to where we are today.

There is some truth to what you're claiming, but I'm tired of this "California just wanted to freeze itself in the 1960s and look how wrong they were." In truth everything was going pretty good for everyone until the last decade or two.

As long as you can continue to pay the mortgage each one, nobody is going to come along and kick you out of the house.

The "problem" is that you can't sell your house for a profit to exchange it for an even more expensive house. Hence, the rest of us are on the hook to ensure that your house can continue to appreciate in price.
I'm sorry, but that's such a narrow view of things. Different people are attracted to different kinds of jobs. What they described is essentially my dream job. I hate the haphazard way modern software is written - it's not engineering at all.
But we don't do this anymore, we don't build processors to cater to the particular needs of a particular high level language because we know now this approach to speeding things up is fundamentally misguided.

When the economic opportunities overrun the "character of the neighborhood", neighborhoods get destroyed and people get priced out of their own homes. It's called gentrification.
I like to read the major online news sources from different countries and compare:

http://tass.ru/en/world

It's really quite surprising the differences you'll see as far as what is covered, how it's covered, and the placement & size of the articles. Not to mention of course the content & bias of the articles.

By combining the different views, I like to think I'm able to get a more complete picture of the "truth", although as you can see I read relatively left-leaning publications (apart from TASS, obviously) so that is not to say my worldview is completely fair and unbiased.

I'm not convinced that the price of existing houses would drop that much. We're talking comparing comparatively large single family homes to probably tallish apartment buildings. They don't compete for quite the same market, and since you'd have to knock over a few SFHs, they might even go up in price, since yards, space and privacy would become rarer.

Yes, we're in agreement on that. I just don't think we've developed good enough structures of governance nor a good enough culture of rational thinking to believe there's much hope for the overall problem in the near-to-medium term future.

We might hack away at some of the symptoms, but the human psyche is inherently ill suited for rationally weighing the needs of disparate peoples and how they effect us in complex systems like this, being as our neurology evolved for smaller groups/tribes. At least that's my pseudo-psychology take on it.
The border between Canada and the US, the longest international land border on Earth, is very rectangular, consisting largely of the lines 49 degrees north latitude and 141 degrees west longitude.

So the parent poster wants to debunk the 'it's simple supply and demand' meme?
