They just released some data on foreign purchases in another crazy market, Vancouver. In the last month (June?) 10% of purchasers were foreign (all countries) and the average house price was the same as domestic purchasers.

Foreign investment has an impact in Vancouver, but by and large, it's Canadians who are over-extending themselves to get into a market they think they will be priced out of forever.

Unfortunately, most of the public charging stations out there are pretty pointless due to their slow charging speed.

Without faster charging, you can't do long-distance travel (nobody wants to stop for 4-8 hours in the middle of a road trip to recharge), so the only value they offer is for longer charging sessions while the driver is already in the area for work/shopping/etc. However, even then, you can't really rely on their availability, since it's always possible someone will already be there tying up the station for an 8-hour stretch...so they really aren't terribly useful or convenient for the vast majority of EV owners.

I would argue that the only charging network out there that really makes sense is Tesla's Supercharger network: it actually charges fast enough to make road trips practical, is generally quite reliable, and typically includes at least 6-8 stalls per station to avoid congestion during peak travel times. This gives Tesla a huge competitive advantage over other EV manufacturers, and I think it'll be a long time before anyone catches up to them in this regard.

Every carve-out or differential treatment for established political parties is a barrier to the establishment of new political parties.

So the political parties have become these weird, permanent, pseudo-governmental entities that no longer have consistent identities of their own, but are basically available for capture every 4 years.

That's how you get the "Republican Party platform" doing a full reversal on trade policy, international policy, health care, and a dozen other issues between 2012 and now.

The "Republican Party" today is just a shell--a collection of structural advantages that the Trump folks have won the the right to put on like a costume. Same with the Democratic party--Sanders just failed to win the costume.

What we need, is to regularly reset the requirements for political organizations, so that it's just as easy for new candidates to be supported by new organizations, as old parties.
None of the contemporary things you mention are examples of unchecked power. The fact that you can mention them in public without fear of being whisked away tonight by secret police illustrates this. Unchecked power does not permit criticism, or admit room for opposition.

I should add, there are actually very few news outlets that make the pretence of being centrist. In particular, Western state agencies such as BBC and CBC and the US, arguably CNN 'kind of' long that vein. They are definitely left of centre in actuality, though not an obvious editorial bias, it's definitely there.

As far as other agencies (Sky, NBC, Fox, MSBNC, FT, WSJ etc), well, the aforementioned 'trick' is used a lot.

I agree, I set up port knocking and it's a huge pain in the butt (so much so that I never moved it out of testing). It also lacks cryptographic verification. It's a lot of trouble for a not quite ideal solution.
The Sony Ericsson P800/P900/P910 had a removable keypad making them effectively rectangular phones. The Neonode N1 had a touch driven interface, including the slide to unlock feature. Then there were PDAs like Sony Clie PEG-TH55. All this a couple of years before the iPhone.

The reason phones didn't look like rectangles wasn't because no one had the idea, but because screens were expensive and touch technology (and other technologies like data) wasn't mature yet. That's why you had something like the LG Prada come out at the same time (or even slightly before) the iPhone.

Just because you are first to adopt something (e.g. because your customers don't mind paying a premium and you've secretly developed it for years including controlling the supply chain) doesn't mean you should have the sole right to use a concept derived from evolution of components.

This is a great point to reinforce. Low interest rates are a HUGE driver of housing prices.

No one knows what interest rates will do, but if they go from 3% to 6% (historical average), then suddenly everyone can't afford as much house and prices decline.
I don't know how to feel with this. According to this calculator I [1] get exactly half of the salary of a developer with zero experience and zero skills, and I have working for an American company for a considerable amount of time. At first I thought my salary was based on the country where I live, but now I am not so sure about it. Saying that I am being under-paid with these numbers is actually a joke, under paid to me is getting $2-3k less than the average, but these numbers tell me that I get 50% less than a kid with absolutely zero experience.

Port knocking is more inconvenient but its also more secure. I'm not advocating it though, just example how low down the scale I consider non-standard ports as a sensible recommendation.

Random IPs are unlikely to be port scanned but any reasonably popular site will.
“What stops us from looking at ourselves and seeing ourselves is that we’re kind of ugly, if we really, if we look really hard,” Mr. Murray replied. “We’re not who we think we are. We’re not, uh we’re not as wonderful as we think we are.”

Classic example of an ugly person who has limited awareness of the fact that he is an individual who is individual from other people.

In some states (like California) write-in candidates also have to register and qualify, and writing in a non-qualified write-in candidate is for all purposes (except the workload for vote counters) identical to blank ballot -- even if through some fluke of coordinate protest they received a majority of cast ballots, it would just show up in the counts as a very low number of valid ballots cast.

I think we just have different tastes then. The screenshot on mIRC's website is still showing Windows XP, but from what I can find on Google the more recent versions look like this: http://images.snapfiles.com/screenfiles/mirc.gif

IMO not better than Textual: https://www.codeux.com/textual/private/images/v500media/Yose... (which I assume is what you meant to compare it against, instead of an FTP client?)

Re: Cyberduck, it's a nice FTP client. The Windows version is more or less the same thing, but has a distinct "this is a Windows port of a Mac app" feel to it. It's OK, just not great: http://cdn.lo4d.com/t/screenshot/800/cyberduck-3.png

The more widely used FTP client on Windows is FileZilla, but I kind of hate it: http://cdn.portableapps.com/FileZillaPortable.png

OS X has a built in search/launcher. I just like Quicksilver better. Could I do without it? Sure. But I've been using it since ~2003 and I'm happy with its speed and feature set. Compare to Windows's search which regularly hangs on me, then works fine after I cancel out and reenter the exact same search term.

I do admittedly use a tool to adjust window management. In my case, it's Divvy, though there are a lot of free alternatives now if I hadn't bought that years ago. It's more flexible than the native window snapping in Windows, and I'm perfectly happy with it. OS X has native fullscreen/splitscreen now, so it's less needed, but I still like the fast keyboard shortcuts for things like 1/3 split.

Can't say I have a desktop mail client on my own computers (gmail.com does the trick), so I can't weigh in there. Nor do I need Visio or OmniGraffle. But I'll give you Visual Studio over Xcode for sure.

> Me too. That's why I prefer Windows software. OS X is just plain ugly to me. It looks like it was inspired by an 8-track player from the 70's.

Yep, different tastes.

I was pretty happy with Windows 7, but I think Windows 8/10 takes the excessive whitespace too far, and then it buries all of the features it "cleaned" out in legacy control panels. Plus half of the 3rd party software still looks like Windows 95, which might be nice and nostalgic if you grew up with Windows 95, but I didn't

> Decent to me also means having features are easily discoverable

Nearly all functionality is accessible from the menubar, so that's always a good place to look for things. It's even searchable. Next time you're on a Mac, hit up the help menu (or cmd-?). Much more useful than F1.
No, there are no algorithm changes (otherwise the results would be different), it is just taking advantage of the ARM SHA accelerations when they are available.

> The main reason for an individual creating open source libraries is due to either idealism/altruism or else to increase their reputation so a company will hire them.

Or neither. I create open source libraries because I love to code and because I love to share what I built with as many folks as I can. Idealism, altruism or concern of my reputation is not required. (I can't help but think that the subtext of those terms is "people who do open source in their free time are naive," but that would not be a charitable interpretation. Still, that's the impression I'm getting from your comment.)

I'm really surprised to see Ready Player One on there. It relied way too heavily on the 80's nostalgia, to prop up the shallow story telling. But even that got old, it was like hanging around with someone that talks entirely in movie quotes, while fun at the right times, gets stale fast.

How would he get that cash? If he has to sell stocks, his capital gains taxes would probably cost him a lot more money than the interest on a mortgage, or on a pledge asset line of credit with his investments as collateral.

If you have to sell stocks to pay cash for a home, a mortgage could cost you less money overall.
Before people take this analysis seriously, they should consider that "Election Justice USA" was established in April 2016 specifically to generate these sorts of analyses to support the Sanders campaign.
A slower charging network could be useful for putting a charging station at every parking space at say workplaces, where your car will be left for an extended time Slower chargers are presumably cheaper to build and run, so they might make more sense there. But otherwise completely agreed that superchargers are basically the only type of charger that makes sense for 99% of the rest of use cases that a gas station would normally take care of.

> So we know why the major parties would oppose voting system change. Is there something beyond the parties' word that keeps non-partisan members of the public from wanting to change voting systems?

Members of the public who want voting system change end up with members of the parties proposing superficial changes to relieve that demand that pose no or minimal challenge to the partisan duopoly, like nonpartisan redistricting (adopted in several states), California's top-two primary system, term limits (adopted in lots of states), tweaks to election scheduling, ballot access rules, etc.

> For society's greater good we should put no premium on "I was here first/I did it first!", but only on "I build this product using less resources, hence it has the lowest price!".

I disagree completely.

If we didn't care about being there first we wouldn't have patents, and without patents, why would companies bother spending any money on R&D?

If you spend money on R&D, you have to recuperate those costs. If a competitor could just make an exact copy, then even if they made it in the same exact way that you did, they'd be able to sell it at a lower cost because they spent nothing on R&D.

Patents aren't perfect, but they exist for a good reason: to promote innovation for "society's greater good"

My current Q "algo" or whatever we call it (it's a ensemble of multiple "algos") actually has almost every layer you describe (although not using the same methods you describe) and some extra layers you don't describe so it's quite strange for me to read how hard or impossible creating something like what I already have in place is.

As I said it's just normal code and python is fortunately quite clean language.

Aiming for ~ a book a week, and have been holding steady around that mark for around the past 3 years (avg. 50 books / year). I got through Ready Player One in a weekend when I had nothing else to do, but it took me a good couple months to get through Infinite Jest this year…try to balance it out with a good mix of fiction / nonfiction and easy / hard books. I waste plenty of time online, too, but average something in the ballpark of an hour / day of book-reading.

> 1. Action for action's sake - Black Lives Matter protests to block highways.

But that isn't "action for action's sake," it's action that is derived from one particular theory of change. BLM blocks highways because they believe that by doing so they can effectively draw attention to both their issues and their movement. The action is deliberately chosen to advance decided-upon strategic goals, not simply a reflexive flexing of muscle.

Eco also highlights part of "action for action's sake" as a deliberate repudiation of intellectualism, which is an odd thing to say about a movement like BLM which emerged in large part from universities. Intellectuals can find a role to play in BLM that they could never find in a fascist movement.

You're probably right. The thing is, Microsoft is right now in existential danger, at least if it wants to grow, and I think it has to grow, because it's a public company.

Their core market (desktop/enterprise desktop) is basically saturated. Almost their secondary efforts have failed from a financial standpoint or are only second in their niche (Bing, Edge, Azure, Xbox, etc.).

Unless they pull off some sort of a miraculous switch:

* they'll continue to be perennial underdogs

* they'll opening things up in order to gain allies, through genuine community building

From my point of view, in a sort of twisted way, that basically means that they're safe from a open source point of view.

They'll have to develop communities in almost every area they want to compete in (which means that there will be stewards available if they back down) and they'll invest quite heavily in their open source contribution.

It might not be done for the purest reasons, but I think that their new contributions will be here with us for the long term.
If democracy is about every American having an equal say, and if our vote is that voice, then there should be nothing standing between an individual and their vote.

There is nothing that can be placed in between you and your voice that will add to what you will say. No system, no bureaucracy, no process, no delegate, nothing. This is a fundamental virtue of communication. Imagine if anything stood between you and the submit button you used to respond? Even if you had to tell someone first who then had to tell me, the message could be tainted. A man-in-the-middle is inherently insecure, whether it's actually a man or anything else. Just my keyboard will give me typos.
