The poverty level in United States is $11,880. At the top end, $500 is 4.2% and plenty of people are making less than $10,000 a year. At that rate, I think $500 is starting to look statistically significant.

The difference between good schools and bad ones isn't what is taught or even the teachers. It's the community. Bussing doesn't get kids out of failing communities into ones that work.
Some rentals are cheaper than Starbucks, but many new releases are $5-$6. Also, I frequently find that a movie I'm looking to rent on iTunes is only available for purchase ($15). I understand why studios push for these sort of arrangements, but since there aren't any brick and mortar rental locations anymore, it means there isn't a way to check out that movie for less than $15.

I share your surprise. The Feynman Lectures on Physics - which by the way are available online at http://feynmanlectures.caltech.edu - are clearly a popular set of books as in "liked or admired by many people or by a particular person or group," but hardly popular as in "intended for or suited to the taste, understanding, or means of the general public rather than specialists or intellectuals."

The premise in the thread seems to be that after the first nuclear skirmishes, the only optimal strategy is to delay all-out response on the hope that initial firings were a fluke, an error, or a mistake. And that the ability for a delayed response is assured, so there's no point in rushing to press the annilihation button.

It may be true that delay would be the best option for maximizing probability of survivability in that scenario, however I do not think the capability exists to actually do this -- it might not even be possible to implement this strategy. I don't think it's possible to construct a control system that would manage the diverse array of retaliatory launch systems in a way that both preserves "guaranteed total annihilation of aggressor" and "arbitrary delay for retaliation after first strike"
Well, one could argue (and post-modernists have been doing this for a long time) that "reality" as such does not even exist, and we're all fitting narratives onto our environment anyway.

Bay Area towns aren't exurban periphery and aren't low on commercial and industrial jobs. Atherton is obviously buoyed solely by the residents' wealth, but the rest of them are mixed-use areas. Furthermore, the Bay Area concentrates more wealth than your average US metropolitan area.

The evolution I laid out can be most readily observed in places where urban areas are not hemmed-in geographically, and easy access to cheaper undeveloped land exists, so new exurban nodes can be readily created. Right now, Northern Virginia (DC suburbs), Atlanta, Raleigh, Dallas, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Kansas City, and Minneapolis are experiencing this in their urban areas. California yet again a special case because exurban areas are usually much, much further away than elsewhere (Santa Clarita, Temecula, Palmdale -> LA; Santa Rosa, Fairfield, Tracy -> SF/SJ).
You're welcome to shame people moving their kids to better schools as classist and racist. It might work!

With that said, I have some doubts that such a policy would accomplish what you might hope for. Most people, even those who wish people wouldn't, understand and sympathize with parents trying to get the best possible education for their kids.

"I'm a pragmatist. I see folks wanting to avoid disappointment (can't see favorite show) suddenly becoming theoretical philosophers."

I can understand (though not agree with) the point of view that people are selfish and just make up excuses to justify to themselves and others that they are in the right whenever they take some action that benefits themselves.

But I don't understand why you would attribute those selfish, self-justifying motives only to those that make copies of digital media but not to those who proclaim to "own" them or who decry copying as theft?

Wouldn't your view also have to apply to the whole concept of ownership, which you'd have to dismiss as a pretension to "theoretical philosophy"?

Agreed but for rather different reasons.

I've travelled through the US and stumbled into public housing projects on a few occasions. I found them simply repugnant. Public policy that clumps the poor together is beyond stupid. It's made even worse when you factor in how schools in the US get their budget (property taxes). So, this housing policy further guarantees that the poor stay poor because they end up in crappy schools.

It's like America doesn't actually want to fix any of their social problems.

She's confused about what 'dark fiber' is. Dark fiber is fiber that's be laid/strung, but currently doesn't have lasers connected at the ends. That is, someone speculatively ran the fiber but currently isn't using it. Dark fiber is useless until it's lit with (somewhat) expensive transceivers.
Thinking that an extra $500 a year in America couldn't significantly impact someone's life says more about you than the study.
> Comparing the older children to their younger siblings, who will spend more time living in the project, allows the researchers to focus specifically on the effects of housing assistance as opposed to those of parenting or other factors unique to each family.

Also, regarding

> but of course you don't want to actually do any work, you want to complain about what other people do because they don't do it in the exact way you want it done for free.

Nah, I don't spend months of my own free time maintaining an open source IRC app, and working on creating tools to make IRC easier for users to use.

I don't actually spend time making open chat systems more useable to users, sure.

That accusation from you doesn't belong at all on HN, and is not only a personal attack, but also wrong.

I could just run a Signal fork with my own servers tomorrow, but one of my goals is to allow users to have one single place where they can send a message to a user, and it will arrive. No matter what service the other user uses, what app, what chat system, if they're on an obscure 20 people IRC network, on Signal, WhatsApp, etc.

My ideal goal would be a universal, federated protocol, but even having libraries for each protocol with a unified API would make things already easier.

And Moxie is fighting for the opposite.

He fights against any compatibility, and suggests I tell my mother to install yet another chat app, ignoring that her phone can't even install Signal in the first place because it only has 3MB of useable memory, left.

You and Moxie actively tell people to create more, and less interconnected, chat networks.

How the fuck is that going to help?

If everyone uses a different secure app, that doesn't help at all! People will just use the systems everyone has (case in point: usage of SMS in the US, or WhatsApp everywhere else), and thereby you ensure no one gets any security.

So stop insulting people you don't know, and claiming untrue motives to be theirs, just so you can justify your actions.

That sounds vaguely familiar, so I think that it does have it. If not, it has to be at least mentioned in the footnotes. In fact, I think it might be one of the first pages of the alternate-universe section?

The footnotes in Ms. Padua's book are _AMAZING_. More entertaining than the book itself at times. I have never enjoyed reading footnotes so much. That sounds like faint praise, but I mean it as real praise. ;) She has multi-page footnotes, breaks the fourth wall in HILARIOUS ways, and introduces you to characters like I. K. Brunel.

This is a book that I treasure, and I wish I could explain why I love it. It is a comic book about Nerd Things, with footnotes, and footnotes for footnotes, and so on. It's a labor of love, masterfully executed, and I feel like I want to read parts of it again for the fun of it.

As a physicist I completely agree. The history is the best part. And it's fun seeing how much scientists had a love/hate relationship with each other. But you also learn why they invented/discovered what they did. Which is important in advanced physics where sometimes the reason or purpose gets lost.

So public housing/vouchers slightly raises income and reduces the likelihood of going prison, except when it doesn't.

I have lived near section 8 housing in Texas. They are not, generally speaking, working. It's also not the kind of place you want to be near at night.

This is useless really.

Those people who are security minded have already switched to a secure email provider, or run their own email servers. Those who are not so security minded people don't care, won't care and have no desire to stop using Yahoo. If you didn't know or think the NSA does this, then you've been living in a cave for the past decade.

While I appreciate the outrage, it seems most people have become fatigued by this constant barrage of evil corporations getting buddy:buddy with the NSA and have either done something about it, or have just accepted it.

You would probably have to be going with an ablative approach at that point. Letting a sacrificial material like ceramic or injected water vaporize.

It's not enough to withstand a high temperature, or to try and move the heat away from the surface. At some point you need to dissipate that heat somehow or the payload will just melt. A material undergoing phase change is one of the most efficient ways to do it. This is why ice is so much more effective at cooling a drink than one of those hokey "whiskey stones".
Isn't your E-mail address used as the username in most services' credentials? So you should know which services you registered using your Yahoo E-mail address because that's what you use to log in. Just go in and change them over to using your new address. For those few that don't use E-mail, take a Sunday afternoon and log in to each of them to check. Surely it couldn't be that difficult.
A portion of it is. But regardless, via pirating nothing goes to the content creators. Not one penny. If you actually like content, at some point you need to pay for it or you won't get more of what you like.
I don't know what Samsung did to cause all these explosions, but I hope these are thoroughly investigated.

If it's a manufacturing problem, that's one thing, but I have a sneaking suspicion this could boil down to software. You can measure your manufacturing process very closely, but testing embedded software, such as in the battery itself, is a total nightmare by comparison.

To be fair, according to this article, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and others have explicitly denied allowing government officials direct access to their servers.

However, due to the secrecy requirements of the law, we cannot know if they did allow the government some other form of access that was functionally equivalent to a rootkit on the server in terms of what the government could access.

Pure speculation on my part: Yahoo probably got the court order and made the decision that the government was going to get what they wanted anyway in the end, and resistance was going to be futile, and they probably figured that since no-one was going to be able to hear about them fighting against this order, it wouldn't even do their reputation any good to fight it. Of course, if I'm right, they miscalculated a little bit on that last part, since they obviously didn't count on a leak of the fact that they did roll over, which now has damaged their reputation.

> 4. Something simple to use, because I don't want to lose time learning/configuring stuff. So the Amazon combo S3+route53+cloudfront won't be possible for me.

"learning/configuring stuff" isn't time lost. It's the price you pay to get a lot of functionality for a minimal financial cost. None of these items are complex, costly, time-consuming, or poorly documented. You're worried about at most a dozen hours of time once.

If you're not willing to learn to do things for yourself, you're going to be paying someone else to do it. At which point you're either blowing your budget or compromising on your needs.

The answer to your needs is acquiring the skills you need in order to do it all for under $10/mo.

I guess most of them work from home then? I see you go to Harvard, so you have the privilege of being insulated from the realities of publicly supported destitute poverty.

Perfect enough? Hardly. Errors aren't shown until you submit, giving you no opportunity to fix the mistake while you are there. It also only shows one error at a time. So if you have multiple errors, you fix one, everything is fine, and you don't see an error until you submit again.

> You should do the rest on the backend anyway

Well yes, you should validate on the backend, but you shouldn't wait to only validate on the backend.

This works well enough for getting things done quickly, but it's hardly a good UX, and a far cry from "perfect enough," whatever that means.

I'd argue that single-page apps are a completely new emerging paradigm- the "web-page-as-application" rather than "web-page-as-interface-to-application" (or "webpage-as-hypertext-document", before that.) This isn't to say the previous two paradigms are bad, just that they're solving different problems. In light of that, here are a few responses to your points:

> Where JS becomes a problem is when it's used in ways where disabling it completely breaks the page... Single page web apps: I'm looking at you.

Here's my point: if you disable Javascript and navigate to a URL where a single-page app is hosted, the page isn't broken, your execution environment is. If I make a React app, then ipso facto I'm making an explicit choice to exclude folks that don't want to enable Javascript.

HOWEVER

> I think a more important point is that you should design your website to still be functional even if Javascript is disabled.

There's absolutely room on the Web for all three models: document, interface, and application. And despite my disagreement with this point when it comes to client-side applications, I definitely agree when it comes to Web documents and Web interfaces to server-side applications. (Rails muddied the water something fierce on that last one, which has been the source of uncountable headaches for me.)
"Better schools?" They'd be the same schools, just with some additional lower income kids.

Microsoft is cloud-first in development now.

There is a Power BI Desktop program that is 100% free as in beer available, which runs a private instance of an in-memory columnstore OLAP engine, Power Pivot (same internals as SSAS). It also includes the reporting layer and Power Query, a lightweight ETL tool.

There is an on-prem version of Power BI that the team has committed to including as a feature of SSRS in SQL Server 2016, but the timeline is still fuzzy.

The point of the Power BI hosted portal is not the pretty visuals, but a low-maintenance collaboration portal that includes natural language Q&A on your data, automatic analysis to identify trends in the data, and tight integration with Office 365.

If you want to go on-prem, there is a third party named Pyramid Analytics which offers a solution that allows Power BI hosting.

Power BI is actually a continuation of a number of products. If you want a somewhat equivalent experience on-prem, you can use Power Pivot in Excel (2010+), with Power View on SharePoint (SSRS 2012+, SharePoint 2010+), which gives you an older Silverlight-based report engine that has similar capabilities.

The real useful piece, though is the semantic layer in Power Pivot, which is identical to SSAS. The power in any BI tool is not the reporting layer (though Power View is a pretty good one for the use cases it targets), but in the power and expressivity of the data model. This is an area where Microsoft shines.

I could go on for hours about this - I work in technical presales (and do at least 50% time in a technical delivery role) for an analytics consulting firm that is a Microsoft partner.
