> You're asking the wrong question. It doesn't matter what the relative contribution of existing residential property vs. existing commercial property is; what matters is how new construction will affect the city's revenue. The argument is that given a parcel of land and the question of whether to approve it for residential or commercial construction, the city will realize more revenue from a commercial project.

I can see that this is your argument. I'm not sure that it's at all true, though. Businesses in the Bay don't pay much in terms of direct business taxes. They do pay property taxes, but they sit on their properties much longer than typical homeowners so over time their taxes end up much lower. So you maybe get more sales tax, but that's really dependent on residents spending.

I also don't see that construction of residential and commercial real estate as being in direct competition. Residential developments aren't being voted down in favor of commercial developments on the same parcels.

> Certainly there's a lot of that. My posting is an attempt to shift the debate by whatever small increment I can manage to.

I just don't see that your proposal addresses any of the real issues. What your proposal does is magnify the biggest negative effects of prop 13.

> I think there is starting to be a change in sentiment as prices continue to rise.

I hope sentiment changes, but I'm not seeing much evidence. The focuses seem to be around continuing the distorting effects of rent control and low-income housing. I'm not opposed to either of those, but they don't address the broader problems. If you want housing prices in reduce overall, you need more housing and/or better transit to make it easier to get in from more distant housing. You also need people to accept that their housing investments won't yield the returns they'd hoped for which is a tough sell.
You serve them a SHA-2 certificate. (In TLSv1.2 the client's supported hash algorithms are included in the handshake. Clients that don't support TLSv1.2 are probably fine with SHA-1. You can also use heuristics based on the ciphersuite to determine whether a client should get a SHA-1 certificate or not.)
I very specifically got my Surface for a road trip where I needed a device that would be a fully-functional laptop in my hotel room but would be comfortable for reading comic books (and other things) on while sitting in the back seat of a car for hours on end.

Windows tablets were my only option. An Android tablet (or an iPad) might work fine in the car, but it would make a terrible laptop in the hotel room, and a conventional laptop would be unusable in the car.

After my road trip, my Surface found continued use as my couch computer, effectively replacing my phone. Honestly, as long as I have a web browser that works I don't need much else. Edge works; it might be more minimalistic than I like, but the vast majority of what I want to do with a computer on my couch is satisfied by Edge. Oh, and the Facebook app for Windows 10 is awesome. It's everything I've wanted out of the Android app, which has been a constant disappointment for me.
Oakland, CA still has a dumping problem.
I don't understand this bit:

"In order to allow .NET Framework 4.6.1 to support .NET Standard 2.0, we had to remove all the APIs from .NET Standard that were introduced in .NET Standard 1.5 and 1.6."

Does this mean that STD 2.0 will support .NET 4.6.1 but not 4.6.2 ?
This is still pretty appealing - I could stand to put static or near-static text there. I'd probably want to add it to my current pair of monitors, though, instead of subbing one out.
> The point of XDG isn't about a particular user experience, it's about cross-desktop compatibility. If you lose the two biggest desktops, then it's doomed to uselessness. Like a W3C that Mozilla and Google don't listen to.

I don't think it would be useless. If GNOME and KDE don't care anymore, then move on without them. Lead the way with the people who do care. Eventually your work will surpass theirs, and they will either join you, follow you, or fall into obscurity.

> The first step of standardization is to get the people with the most pull to care. The problem is nobody cares anymore.

I think the first step of standardization is to standardize. ;) If the DE projects I mentioned got together and defined useful standards and started using them, if they started solving real problems that they and other DEs experience, then the big two would naturally be attracted to the new standards and solutions.

But even if GNOME and KDE never came around, you still have four or five DEs (with the potential for more) that have useful interoperability. I think that would be valuable.

Possible elephant in the room: Red Hat/Fedora. My impression is that XDG is dominated by GNOME which is dominated by Red Hat. They have shown in many ways how little they care about users, standards, and stability. Time to leave them in the dust. Blaze a new trail for desktop Linux without them! ;)
This series is the best thing on HN in a long time. As a software engineer by trade, I feel like I've been missing out not learning more about electrical engineering. The level of knowledge and skill involved in this restoration is downright awe-inspiring.
I have been trying to get into the whole Lisp paradigm for 1-2 years now. I own Realm of Racket, amongst a collection of Lisp books.

Racket is all the promise of developer-centric power tooling that puts Common Lisp to shame.

I recommend you watch one of the core devs, Matt Flath, build a a hygenic macro expander.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or_yKiI3Ha4

Notice how his talk, likely written in its own documentation language Scribble, shows demos of DrRacket. I am more of an emacs guy, but do you see the interactive colorized debugger pointing out variable binding and flow control? That is the only thing that I have seen in the Lisp world that takes SLIME and laughs at its dogged simplicity.

Also, as you watch this talk, observe how he takes the complexity of something I am still certain I cannot do, build a macro system (let alone understand macros others write), and boils it down to the essence with the color-coded schematic to match his environment and visualize his thought process. I dare say Rich Hickey et al would be impressed, tipping the hat to the Simple or Easy talk he is famous for.

If I have bored you at this point, you will probably not check out Rackjure. Someone basically implemented a language subset in Racket of Clojure. So it is safe to say you can subsume Clojure with Racket.

I know we are all smug Lisp weenies, but the whole Brown/NEU PLT group who works on Racket deserve serious praise. I listen to all the core devs and watch their talks, because they push the boundaries of what a good computer scientist is.

They just happened to choose Scheme/Lisp to make me feel dumb. Watch them ditch it and go for Haskell. We will all be sorry then.
There is barely a company that visits the white house more than Google. I wouldn't be surprised if the American state has direct access right into Google's data center - it wouldn't be the first company whose server building included a government surveillance room.
My hope would be that since this method of punishing seems to be liked by most and even feels "generous" to some, the browser vendors would more aggressively start handing out "1 year suspensions" for more and more CAs that are caught doing anything even remotely like this.

Then after a year or two, and after the CAs have learned that they need to take this stuff seriously, and yet some still get caught doing it, the browser vendors should increase the level of punishment, because those getting caught then wouldn't have much of an excuse anymore.

They can't backdate their Certificate Transparency log without leaving cryptographic evidence behind. That's how CT is designed to work.

Of course, simply being in the log doesn't imply the cert was issued correctly, but the logs have been posted for a couple of months now and have received a lot of scrutiny during Mozilla's investigation. But the same is true for Google's log, presence in that log is also no guarantee that it was issued correctly.
Repairs are uneconomical because they have to compete with the assembly line. Assembly lines are an incredibly productive way to make identical things. Repairs are typically different. Like Tolstoy said, "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
You're painting 1 billion people with a rather broad brush.
It's possible to determine whether a client supports certificates using SHA-2 by analyzing the ClientHello and use that to switch between a SHA-1 and SHA-2 certificate. CloudFlare[1] and some of the bigger sites like Facebook have done this.

Well say it like that.
Enterprises have probably a 80% Windows 20% Linux server, which results in something like 30%-40% of the total market + 20% servers that are serving the web / databases in the web whatever, which would result in 60%. And you can guess how many of these 60% would need docker. Probably less than 20%.
Since you said it's easier than these other languages, I thought you were referring to how the languages work now.

There's nothing wrong with special treatment for stuff in the standard library. C and C++ already do this with many things (e.g. many compilers understand calls like memcpy and will emit optimized code based on the standard library semantics) and Swift gives special treatment to built-in types like Optional.

The distinction here is fairly blurred. The Swift implementation of weak pointers is mostly in the runtime library already, it's just that the compiler hides it a bit so you don't write the names of the calls directly.
> You think there are answers?

Yes.

> The search for meaning is a poorly formed question.

"Why are we here? What are we meant to do? Where are we going next?" These are not poorly formed or useless questions.
What makes Finns a morally meaningful group here is what makes family a morally meaningful group: blood ties and inheritance. It's not unfair that people inherit after their ancestors, whether it's a stamp collection, height, or a country.

I don't have an objection to people maintaining their own communities, closed or not. I believe in freedom of association. I'm not an American either so US taboos around race don't hold much sway over my opinions.

Yeah, for all the derision Microsoft gets for their buggy code we can still use a Win32 binary from the 3.1 days today.

You have some of the same policy at the kernel level with torvalds "we do not break userspace" policy. But the higher layers are just too damn happy with breaking themselves for it to have any meaning.

The "Lysenkoism" bit makes me pretty confident he's being sarcastic. That was the Stalinist rejection of Mendelian genetics, so it's a claim that mental differences are governed by a totally invalid theory.
I believe it was always designed for 3D but they made the 3D aspect more powerful as they saw what Sony was pushing. I get the feeling it was to be a sort of hybrid 2D/3D system instead of a straight jump into 3D.

But the multi-CPU thing was a mess. Sony had a very simple architecture that could still do a very good job. Sony made that mistake with the PS2 but still survived (momentum + sales as a DVD player) and the PS3 which hit them hard (Xbox 360 was much easier, got a big win for it). As of the PS4 they've learned their lesson.

This seems like an ineffectual measure. Instead of giving the domain to the individual nodes in the DDoS. I'd resolve it once and pound the IP until it changes.

> What I want to know is, will the sync (not async/await) methods be available on Linux on .NET Core?

Yes, they most likely will be. If you search through the reference assembly interfaces listed here, you should be able to tell whether the functionality you want will be available.

https://github.com/dotnet/standard/tree/master/netstandard/r...

For things like legacy synchronous or Begin/End async methods, we are more or less adding them wholesale to the standard. If something like that is still missing, then it's most likely an accidental omission rather than a conscious removal.

Or peruse the standard library documentation for UnsafePointer, UnsafeRawPointer, UnsafeMutablePointer, and UnsafeRawMutablePointer. These are built-in types that the compiler knows about, and code that uses them should compile down to essentially the same stuff as C pointer code would.
Quite a useful reference article.
The Dreamcast was well thought out(unlike the Saturn) and incredibly easy to develop for(Sega learnt at least in this regard) which lead to such an embrace from the homebrew scene.

I remember one development house saying something along the lines of, Developing for the PS2 is like writing a sentence with a paint bush while for the Dreamcast it was like using a fine point pen.
The GP was mostly downvoted because of the unnecessarily supercilious tone. Instead of explaining why they thought Venus was better for this purpose, GP just chose to end with a haughty-sounding "I don't think they have thought this through." Considering GP is a random stranger on the internet, and "they" is SpaceX/Elon, the downvoting is natural.

This cycle realigns the USA. Like Reagan did in 1980, in reverse.

Baring an Act of God, Hillary has already won. Ignore the polls. Everyone has their own reasons to pretend its close. Media wants a horse race and more advertising dollars. If Hillary's base thinks the election is in the bag, they might stay home. Donald is Donald.

Hillary's campaign is pushing hard, to flip as many states as possible. The races to watch are down ballot, especially state houses and judges. This election is the set up for the 2021 redistricting, to win back the US House for a generation. REDMAP in reverse.

The GOP "establishment" (business friendly moderates) might even be okay with that. REDMAP worked too well. They probably want to wrest control of their party back (from the Tea Party).
this comment could easily be pro trump or pro clinton. keep an open mind to what the other side think
I think you're right about this, but I wonder how feasible this is in a country like Sweden where most of the complicated manufactured goods that break easily are probably produced elsewhere and the population is not big enough for foreign manufacturers to be bothered investing the requisite capital to redesign their products. It might be effective to do this kind of a thing at a European level, where the size of the market is big enough that producers will consider it worthwhile to substantially change production practices.
I think that big people are discriminated against. I've experienced this in the workplace firsthand, where people were not hired for positions where their weight had no bearing on their ability to perform the job.

However, obesity does have real health implications, and as such, weight loss is an effective treatment for obese people presenting with a wide variety of health problems. Recommending weight loss when weight loss is a low-risk, effective way to treat the patient's condition isn't discrimination, it's just proper medical practice.

The actual study cited in the article which is being cited as showing systemic discrimination: "The group concluded that heavy patients should first be counseled to lose weight because a lower weight reduces stress on the joints and can alleviate pain without surgery." There were, of course, exceptions to the rule mentioned.

So yes, I do think that fat people are discriminated against, but I do not think that recommending weight loss as treatment to obese patients is an example of discrimination.

.NET Core is a specific .NET platform while .NET Standard is a specification that many .NET platforms, including .NET Core, implement.

In other words, .NET Standard is POSIX for .NET.

If this stores GPG, then you could do SSH as well. Edit: Reading the comments, looks like it only does core U2F, so no SSH for sure. I'm not sure if there is a U2F module for PAM yet.

That shouldn't happen -- your excess 3rd-class customers would go with your competitor instead of buying expensive 2nd-class tickets.

Best choice is to raise the price of 3rd-class seats, which brings us back to whether the increased ticket revenue there offsets cannibalization.
I see this claim a lot, but I really don't get it. What is it that makes Hillary "comically unqualified"? She might not be your favorite, but unqualified seems like an exaggeration. Her opponent does seem unqualified (and dangerous). I'm not an American, so I might not follow it as close as you.
It means that .NET Framework 4.6.1 and all later versions will support .NET Standard 2.0. However, .NET Standard 1.5 & 1.6 will not work on .NET Framework 4.6.1. In other words, we removed the APIs from .NET Standard 2.0 that weren't implemented by .NET Framework 4.6.1.
What controversy? The govt. of India needs income, and by selling space launch services that are actually profitable while furthering the nation's science and engineering capabilities is the best use of tax money it can make.
What the OP described would be extremely low bandwidth -- you only need three parameters to describe what to draw per keyframe (maybe one or two more if you want to describe mixtures of emotions or identities or more complex things), whereas you'd need more to describe 3D animation.

It's not a huge benefit over what you're suggesting (realistically, when are your bandwidth constraints ever that strict?) but it's an interesting idea.

> Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity.

Much of the discussion in this thread does not meet this standard of discourse that we ask for on Hacker News. It's all too easy to respond reflexively (and thus with less likelihood of reaching this bar) when commenting on controversial issues, and while that might be OK elsewhere, it isn't here.
> Anecdotally I've heard of examples where (e.g.) washing china plates has a greater carbon cost than using disposable ones.

Only if you use a dishwasher. IF you do dishes by hand, the only cost is water and soap. Strictly speaking from an environmental point of view the time you spend doing it would be considered a "gain" instead of a "cost", given that you will be probably not engaging in modern electronic entertainment for the duration of the task.

In an industrial environment, such as a restaurant, the cost analysis would be non trivial, given the more complex supply chains that businesses have.
