Rising house prices are not really a reason for longer commutes, except on individual level. They both are symptoms of the same thing: population growth exceeds rate at which new housing is being built. And the reason for housing not being built at the pace of population growth is zoning: there's no land where you can legally build. It's a politically created problem.

But having 69 % growth of train travel during a 15-year period where population growth was 10 % seems to indicate that the service has scaled well. Sure, train commute may not be fun but at least it makes it possible to have a job.

Unicode does not dictate how glyphs are presented. It just describes and categorizes them.

So how they look comes from the font that is used. For the proposal these fonts probably didn't exist yet, so it was probably just a (slightly sloppy) photoshop.
This somehow remind me of Playstation home (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Home) which was a neat concept but never quite gained the momentum.
If someone needs high availability, they should adjust their maintenance intervals as appropriate to ensure it. If something literally breaks during the trip, call an ambulance.

That the above is more complicated than ignoring the trade off created by lax maintenance shouldn't become a problem for the pedestrians along their route to the hospital.

Assange has explicitly stated a goal for the organization is to harm Hillary Clinton, out of revenge for her coming after him during her time as Secretary of State. And obviously here, they are trying to plan their info dump to maximize the damage it does to her political campaign.

They do not just blindly dump information to the ether, they sit and wait and dump information that is the most damaging at the most opportune time.

Whether or not you think they're doing public good probably depends on your perception of Hillary Clinton and how much you care about the collateral damage they cause but don't pretend they don't have an agenda.

Sorry it I wasn't clear - my current android phone has software buttons below the screen, so fine in a wallet case, no hardware button to break and when not in use the backlight dims and it's 'hidden' from me - see here: http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/...

I'm using the Kindle Fire a lot right now, and the on screen buttons suck - a pain to trigger, and when in a view where you have to have them all the time they eat up space, esp in landscape view. Android still feels like tablets and landscape use are an afterthought. I LOVE android, but this just really riles me, and has steered me away from android tablets for a while now.

> I think popular software vendors should seriously reconsider their file formats in the 21st century, including graphical and audio ones.

Very true, but it's not just about vendors and formats. Making semantic changes a first-class, user-facing construct has profound implications for how you think about what you're modeling and what kinds of interactions (not to mention collaborations) are possible. Even Git is not "21st century" in that respect: textual diffs are not semantic.

The Pynchon Gate solution boils down to private information retrieval: a number of distribution servers hold all blocks of information, and one then downloads from each server the XOR of certain blocks, such that XORing all blocks together yields the single block one is interested in.

If true, that would further my point, which is that race is not the underlying problem with police shootings and use of force.

One additional note on this comment, sort of inversely related to my previous comment, focusing on race here also is not going to solve any problems. There are underlying issues leading to these statistics that are independent of race and are being ignored.

In fact, stick to old is as worse (and maybe more) then rewrite. The trouble is when rewrite not change enough to be worth it.

Not sure I agree with this. I've been on android for a while, so I'm sure I'm biased, but stock AOSP Android is pretty much perfect for me. Very minimal and aesthetically beautiful, but still powerful and customizable.
> This is a well discussed problem.

It is true that this is well discussed, but usually those discussions center on anecdotes and shoddy statistics rather than meaningful evidence.

The prevalence of all of this biased discussion simply leads more people to believe their biased worldviews to be factual when it hasn't really been demonstrated.

Such a thing isn't coming. The population at large doesn't care, so no major party candidate will ever fall on this line. We have to fight using technology until it becomes a politically relevant issue (which may never happen).

> This community's #1 member by karma holds a conspiracy theory that Assange works for Vladimir Putin.

I assume you are referring to this[1] comment by tptacek. I hardly think think trying to rationally assess motivation and call into question a narrative he sees as unsupported, and presenting what he used to deride as "funny to me before, in the sense that it's fun to smirk at the way infosec nerds want to believe they're living in a spy novel" as something that gives him pause counts as "holds a conspiracy theory". The only thing definitive you can say about his stance from that comment is that he has more questions about that possible relationship, when he used to think it was ridiculous. Characterizing it as you have is uncalled for.

> Most HN members uncritically accept this member's opinion on everything.

You seriously think that? More often than not, when I see a comment from tptacek, I'm expecting two things at the same time, a competent discussion and argument from multiple people on the specifics of what he's presented, and a shit-show of people assuming too much from his comments and extrapolating positions beyond what he has stated and responding to those. The latter of those generally get downvoted after he explains, in his somewhat acerbic way, that they are not really responding to what he said. This looks to be a case of the latter, if time-shifted almost two months.

I've both agreed and disagreed with tptacek on many different points, and argued a few of them with him. If you have a problem with his views, address that with him specifically. Don't mischaracterize his statements and use them as a way to smear the community as a whole by proxy.

I like your post, but before you will inspire few folks to visit some cancer fighting "non-profit" venture, it is important to look at cancer further then just those companies that are fighting it (but of course would never want to end it for good - I mean after all they have a lifetime mission (and salaries to pay), right?)

You see, cancer was a tiny spot on radar just 50 years ago. Or 100 even more. So the question is - what happened? Have we somehow changed overnight as a spices? No we haven't. Perhaps what we intake changed because after all cancer has to come from something - yes! our water get polluted, our food get packed with chemistry (Dupont produces your tires as well as ingredients for your breakfast bread and is more into food business than ever), and also our air got more polluted than ever.

So before you feel good writing check to a non profit or think that adding a $1 to your bill in food market helps fight cancer, do any of the following:

- call your local officials and complain. while your complain might be a blimp on radar, the more complains then more your officials will notices. at the end they want to know what people like/hate about their community -- not to help you, but rather to help themselves win next election.
- sign petitions for better oversight into companies like Monsato who are in business to sterilize you and force your friend-farmer to suicide through dropping their attorney's fees on them.
- buy a water filter but also check with your local water supply they run statistics on water pollution. make sting if they are out of chart (most counties, they are)
- educate friends on food quality. Have them stop looking at price but more on ingredients. just because something is 40cents cheaper, doesnt mean its okay.
- educate your friends and family on high corn fructose syrup and sugar substitutes.
- promote and make your friends aware of non-gmo organic movement
- research and educate yourself and your family on list of ingredients and products that EU bans. EU is the last bastion of common sense when it comes to your family's health safety but with laws like TPP in place, Monstato will be able to sue EU countries and force them to sell products with ingredients that EU had good reasons to ban in the first place.
Maybe you should work on making your contract law more trustworthy then, if you think corporations can just randomly decide to extort your family years later.

> AWS pricing is crazy complicated.

I agree strongly with this. I've had clients before who would refuse to make the move up from VPSs despite numerous advantages because the AWS product descriptions and prices were incomprehensible to them.
But they can instead make it illegal to use such software, which would not be an ex post facto law (it would only apply to uses of said software after the law was enacted).

IANAL though, so I digress.
Interesting perspective. I think the majority of the rest of the world is in awe that those two specific restrictions (such as they are today) are so inadequate at protecting anybody (from the rich and crazy people with guns, respectively).
I work in the public service industry - many of the systems I work on are isolated from the internet, and from other networks even - so I often have to sneakernet software updates and other things around to all these various machines. The no network thing is reasonable when you consider the requirements these systems operate under - its also an easy way for folks with no system administration abilities to ensure some security and stability.
Agreed. I think the title of this post could have been: "Generating audio from Github events". The title is somewhat click-bait.

So far, aside from the camera (apparently excellent), everything I've heard about why the Pixel is so great comes down to software.

So far, of everything software that people have enthused about with the Pixel... none of that software shines if you only have Google Apps accounts.

Aside from the camera, why would anyone with a Google Apps account buy this?

Front-End Angular Developer | Palo Alto | Mango Technologies, Inc | $80-$100K | Up to 3% Equity

This is NOT your normal startup - we believe normal sucks. Our team is unconventional in many ways, but we're all highly passionate about technology, changing things, and creating awesome products that we love using.

Here's our 5 main beliefs:
1. We believe in realistic optimism.
2. We believe that perfect is possible, even if it's not attainable.
3. We believe failure is just learning another way to succeed.
4. We choose to believe that everything happens for a reason.
5. We believe wholeheartedly in giving back and making a dent in the universe.

Do you hate using JIRA? How about Asana?

Project management platforms are clunky with either too many complexities or simply not enough. We're building a project management platform right in the middle. A platform that we can LOVE using and that makes those using it happier.

Mango Technologies has a strong longterm roadmap for awesome products and it starts with creating a project management platform for us to use while building these products.

fair enough assumption :) but i actually plan on using this one going forward. i lost the password for my normal handle, which is "JustUhThought". finally decided it was time to get an account for which i had the password. thought a "throw away" handle was nifty, because others might assume i was being more "honest" due to to the cloak of a throw-away, and so more likely to take my comment at face value.

i agree that it is perfectly reasonable as a product. however, this is there entire business model. it is why they provide free storage for photos. it is why they want to get hardware into user's hands. it is why they do not provide end-to-end encryption for their communication apps. to me that is a distinction with a difference. it is a philosophy, not a product. and as i see our society marching into the future with a technological infrastructure at it's core built on the philosophy that it is ok to erode personal privacy for the benefit of the private corporation, i worry.

i think we should all get out an protest. but not with pitchforks. i'm a strong believer in public discourse, public disobedience, peaceful protect, constructive criticism, and constructively building alternatives.
Yep. While I liked the Ferraris, I wasn't particular to them. The Lamborghini caught my attention (asI'm sure it did so many others') because of its unique appearance. I was also a large fan of Mustangs, and my first car was a classic Mustang (if in horrible condition). A lot of this was influenced by my older brother, and his taste in cars, and the large coffee book about the history of the Mustang we had around the house. Tastes are so malleable at that age.

Mike Huckabee called for Assange's execution, and said that execution was "too kind a penalty" for Manning for actually leaking the information published by WikiLeaks.

Sara Palin called Assange an "anti-American operative with blood on his hands" who should "pursued with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders".

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) called for Assange to be tried for espionage and for WikiLeaks to be designated, treated, and combatted as a terrorist organization.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) described Assange as a "high-tech terrorist"

Newt Gingrich declared that "Julian Assange is engaged in warfare. [...] And Julian Assange is engaged in terrorism." and that "He should be treated as an enemy combatant and WikiLeaks should be closed down permanently and decisively."
