But how will you deal with toxic byproducts of manufacturing? Sure, those can be mitigated, but that adds cost, and there is already high cost being in San Francisco.

Wow that's quite funny that you've interpreted what is clearly about locking users in so they can't leave, as "make all our products work great together".

Let me put this to you, if he'd meant "make our products work great together" then that's what he would have said. But he didn't say that. So please don't try to change what the man said.

All these tech giants fall over themselves trying to dream up ways to lock users into their ecosystem, it's what they do. It's motivated by profit, competition, and aggressive marketing and business. Nothing to do with benefits for the end user, or open technologies or saving people money.
> Which serves to infantilize the entire population of every other country in the world.

With due respect the United States is a global hegemonic superpower. Sure it isn't all powerful, but to recognize it's influence as punching above the weight of foreign populations isn't to infantilize them.

Nor can the OP be appropriately summarized the way you did. It's really easy to defeat straw men, sure, but the people who contribute to Hacker News are intelligent enough to recognize that straw man for what it is.

Exactly! In some cases like in recursive queries, CTEs may be the only way to achieve some result. In almost all other cases, people use them just because they apparently can't reason about joins, or don't like to do so. I frequently have to deal with SQL that looks like the person was writing an imperative algorithm.

What is a "city"? Where does it start, where does it stop?

What if some rider starts in city X and ends in city Y (New York to Hoboken)? How do you elegantly handle that transaction? You would need consistent transactions across two databases. Usually its not possible, or at the least extremely inefficient, to implement transactions at the application layer - especially in a distributed system under heavy load.

Also you end up with a lot more operational responsibility. If (when) nodes fail, how many nodes failed? How many instances of Casandra were effected? If there were X node failures, was there data loss to any of the effected instances? If there was data loss, how can we recover from a snapshot and replay all recent data to that instance without replaying it to others?

Meanwhile, is the application layer really where you want to solve these scaling issues? What happens if a single city becomes too large to handle, do you partition again by neighborhood? If you're going to invest into anything, invest into improving the database. Maybe create a specialized database to handle your usecase more generally. Ideally, you want the application layer to only provide heuristics that the database can use to efficiently partition its data.
Do you also get this problem with Chrome browser? If you are using Firefox, it uses an old flash player 11.2 which does not have full support for flash drm. Google chrome for linux comes pre-packaged with pepper-flash, a chrome-only port of the latest flash player. That one should work.
Great flow chart. There's a use-case I didn't really see represented. Back in the BASIC days, what I wanted to do was control the color of pixels. I wanted to be able to say turn this pixel (X,Y) this color: C. And then I used all kinds of loops and explored and played with functions. It was great fun and I had a wonderful time.
The article mentions "swarm intelligence" that essentially forms a hive-mind. Where is the AI/ML when it seems like it just picks the most popular responses from its many respondents?

locals were complaining about all the Bay Area people moving up there and driving the rent up

My family moved from CA to the Seattle area in the '90s and people complained about the same damn things.

The other day I was talking to my Dad about this, after I sent him an article saying that the average price of a house in Seattle (or maybe King County) hit about $600,000, but in SF / SV it was $1.2 million. He observed that Seattle-area prices were also half of Bay Area prices twenty years ago, and that it's pretty funny that the ratio has remained about the same.

I wonder if such a "low-level" coding style, based on bitfields and state machines, generally leads to better performance than more abstract patterns. While the former is close to how a human would design hardware for that task, the latter can be better optimised by the compiler.
That is what I thought.

The hypothetical promise of biotech is terrific.

The actual expectations we have are sadly diminished.

I only realized this myself when I was talking to my G.P, who is well known as one of the best doctors in the country, I asked him whether he wanted my DNA profile, or whether collecting some genetic information would be helpful.

He said no. He said that (apart from special cases) that in comparison to having medical records on my parents/grandparents plus a full medical history on myself, the genetic profiles are worthless. The hospitals already have a torrent of information they're struggling to organize.

At first I was taken aback at what he said. The more I thought about it the more sense it made to me because obviously your parents and grandparents are likely to inhabit a similar environment to yourself. That must constrain the range of gene expression. We need to know what actually effects us, not a suggestion box, that might hinder more than help!

I still hold out hope for a more scientific way forward but Freeman Dyson's future seems very distant. Honestly the Japanese intelligent toilets with stool/urine analysis might have a bigger impact on preventive medicine than the Human Genome Project.
That doesn't really solve the problem of them explicitly creating a platform for discriminatory advertising.

This is also the sort of thing where I have to ask, how many people of color were apart of the design and implementation of this functionality?

Skype on Android is terrible. It's slow to sync. It sometimes takes minutes to sync the messages. You get messages in the notifications, then you go to the chat and it's yet to sync. If they fix their mobile client, it would be pretty good.
What are the key metrics marketplace companies should focus on?
The US support of different groups has been overplayed. The US efforts were rather small and "in bed with AQ" is just spouting new headlines. The US tired to build a fraction, but failed, they have largely abandoned the effort.

I hate when people write stuff like that! Thanks largely to Russian intervention, the US/Saudi/Qatar axis has, so far, failed to topple Assad. But no, they've not given up.

Far from it.

"Assad must go" is still official policy. Just remember that we have boots on the ground. Rebels (read: terrorists) are being pummeled in Aleppo, but we're still doing all we can to to support them.

The real obstacle is Russian firepower. Without, it, Assad would have been history, and Syria in worse shape that it is right now.
Americans generally just don't want it, which is a problem because we keep passing the buck to future generations. It's not a matter of preference, it's simply unsustainable both environmentally and density-wise.

It's hilarious to me to watch as well. I have co-workers constantly complaining about spending too much time in traffic. I spend just as much time in traffic as they do, but I don't mind because I'm on a bus. I'm usually reading a book, or working on my laptop, while they are just staring at cars in front of them. The answer is right in front of their faces, but "I need a car because of.... reasons" is too ingrained in our culture.
This is a totally reasonable comment. I definitely wouldn't expect one company to make me an offer just because another did, but I feel like, maybe incorrectly, having an offer in hand could potentially be persuasive to the other company to at least give me a shot.

I guess I'm more asking: Is there a standard way to get in touch with another company to try to at least use the first offer to get my foot in the door and (hopefully) avoid the super rigorous tech interviews in lieu of fit interviews?
I don't mind the keyboard on my 2015 for shortish stretches, but do a lot of devs use their laptops directly, like actually in their laps, for most of the day?

My laptop spends 99% of the week on a stand, with the lid closed, and hooked up to dual monitors and a real keyboard (and other various peripherals).

That's really the biggest meh for me about the latest MBPs. The touch bar doesn't do much for me because my lid is mostly always closed. The keyboard doesn't really matter as long as it's useable for a couple of hours at a time.

But the lack of ports is kind of a big loss for me. When I travel and need to show a slide deck or share my screen in general on a projector, having the built in HDMI port generally means I'm safe and dongle free. Inevitably whenever I need a dongle that I own, it's somewhere else- especially my damn Ethernet dongle.

I also dabble, mostly at the hobby level, in micro electronics and I'm wondering what kind of random issues I'm going to have connecting to those over USB. I'm assuming a hub will prevent most issues, but I'm positive I'll spend a number of hours at some point because the C-A/B conversion goes awry in some way.
I have the same 'issue' with other professions. Before the tech-industry was big, you had the occasional CEO saying: "I started in the mailroom!", implying that you too can be a CEO one day. That's reversed reasoning gone wrong: the chance that a CEO worked in the mailroom is a million times bigger than that a mailroom employee is bound to be a CEO.

Same holds for famous artists: talk to their parents and they probably say that he/she was always singing with a fake microphone in front of a mirror. 90% of the kids do that...
Mark Twain or Shakespeare I'm sure has some quote about the inversely proportional relationship between self-proclaimed worth vs. externally validated worth, but I've noticed an increase in the amount of YC promotion as the value of the YC brand begins to ebb (airbnb trolling by NYC, zenefits and whatnot).
On the other hand, a relevant person being out of the meeting and out of the loop can easily mean that the other 7 people spend the following week on something that shouldn't have been done in the first place.

It's easy to spend a hundred productive engineer-hours that eventually add up to a negative added value.
You really need to read up on Indian history my friend.

The first and second article you link to is Indian territory that was re-acquired after India's Independence. At that time, India was not even a nuclear power.

The third article (about Bangladesh liberation) was not because "India was actively arming and training insurgents inside what was at the time Pakistan". Are you seriously so naive to buy into Pakistani propaganda?

The issue was that Pakistan itself was an aggressor which caused massive migration crisis (similar to what is happening now in Syria). With a massive influx of East Pakistani's into Indian soil, India had no choice but to get involved in the conflict. Even to this day there are hundreds of thousands of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants who have settled in India (who fled from the atrocities of East Pakistan).

About Siachen conflict: What part of the conflict do you think India was an aggressor? I really think you have superficial understanding of India's policy towards it's neighbors.

I can counter all your points with just 1 point: During the 1971 Indo-Pak war (with Pakistan as the clear aggressor), Indian army not just defeated Pakistan, but it also marched all the way to Lahore, Pakistan and occupied parts of Lahore. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahore_Front

India could have kept the occupied territory to itself (like how Pakistan has done with Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir and China with parts of Arunachal). However, it chose to honor a ceasefire agreement that was about to be signed (Note: "about to be signed". Pakistan continues to violate that ceasefire agreement to this day) and returned parts of the city of Lahore back to Pakistan. Have you ever heard of any country that returned conquered land back, on it's own volition, immediately after occupying it?

We also returned 90,000 odd war prisoners to Pakistan with dignity and respect (Read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Pakistani_War_(1971)_pris...). See a video of the surrender here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI6qymVwkVA

Heard of any country that returned captured war prisoners (especially of that magnitude)?

Totally agree, but that's an entirely different conversation.
Unless you use their API. Or you invited external users. Or you use one of the other features that lock you in. In fact, I think Slack wrote the letter because they feel so confident that they've locked in their current customers. Switching to Slack is easy. Switching from Slack is not.

That reputation as a menace was purchased with a huge amount of tobacco industry money.
Tobacco smoke also contains monoamine oxidase inhibiting compounds, which are believed to drastically increase the addictive potential of nicotine. Rats are largely indifferent to nicotine alone, but will compulsively self-administer nicotine in combination with an MAOI.

Cigarettes do give a more immediate and intense nicotine 'hit'. Ammonia compounds are added to cigarette tobacco, which increase the proportion of freebase nicotine to nicotine salts. Cigarettes are, in a very literal sense, the crack cocaine of nicotine delivery.

I have talk to some of the people that try to push the startup scene here in Colombia that the day some good VC come here, them will sweep with all the talent for a dime (from the POV of USA).

The thing is that too much is centered around a few spots. That increase the "scarcity perception" because them are in a island and don't look across the ocean.
Wrong.

Just because a property value increased steadily in the past 15-30 years doesn't mean it will continue to increase in the 15-30 years.

There are lots of cities where prices stopped moving and some where prices went going down compared to the past 5-10 years. Buying a place is far from risk free.
I'm not sure suck is right word, they're just catering to a different market. The new MBPs seem to be targeted at the "prosumer" market and not actual professional market. It's almost as if Apple is abandoning the segment that kept them alive pre-iPod. It makes you wonder if they're going to introduce an actual professional line again.

I mean what do the actual Apple Developer use as their daily drivers?

I think you're example is misleading.

The Queen becoming a dictator is completely different from the Parliament doing what it should do.

To keep it simple: This is a democracy, which means every citizen is giving away his/her power to a selected few.

The Parliament - the people you voted, more or less directly - has to act.

An ADVISORY referendum is going to be used as an ADVICE.
The Parliament has to act - considering the people's will AND what makes sense for the country.

This mechanism is in place to protect you from direct democracy - which doesn't make sense because:
A. People are easily manipulated - especially in a world where TV and internet make spreading information really easy
B. People can choose to vote randomly, erratically
C. People can have a different level of understanding on delicate matters - depending on their education and background

They have the right to set their level of involvement or investment, and it is only polite to peg that level of involvement to whether any significant number of people are using the thing. It doesn't mean they were obligated to try to actively market persona while also planning to shut it down, that would make even less sense.
If you take a look at your memory usage I think you would find that Atom consumes significantly more memory than VS Code. That's always been the case for me, at least.
Oh cool. How many AIs did they have doing the predictions? Survivorship bias.
It's hard to believe, I know, but at least for the US, Apple Maps works very well and has won me over. Once the maps functionality became good enough on both, it became a battle of UIs, and I find Apple's iOS 10 Maps UI much easier to use while driving.

That said, it's an uneasy win. Google Maps might tempt me back when they ship a speed limit indicator; that's a great feature.

If we ever reach an oversupply of high density housing, this line of thinking might make sense.

As it stands, apartments in high density areas are at an extreme premium over apartments in low density areas. Given little to no change in existing housing stock, the best thing we can do for affordability is expand the surface area it's reasonable to commute from, and that usually means freeways and parking.

Public transit actually can work well in low density: people in suburbs drive from a few miles around to a train station with ample parking, and then take the train into the much more transit-oriented city. We need more of this.
That is a great quote! Thanks for sharing.
I know many people say short term use of e-cigarettes have helped them that's great but I have to wonder about those who have no plans to stop.

There seems to be a vocal battle between e-cig users and scientists each having their own claims about diacetyl. It's the famous fake butter compound for microwave popcorn that caused lung cancer in the workers who handled it.

My dad has IPF and COPD two lung diseases from years of working a blue collar job breathing in small damaging particles over time. Sawdust, paint drops, metal from grinding, probably welding fumes, etc. any small particles may seem harmless but over time damage lungs.

What concerns me about e-cigarettes is maybe the damage doesn't appear until 30 from now. Will we see an increase of lung disease 30 years from now?
Go. It's what I love most about it. If something needs to wait for a response, e.g., a database call, your goroutine just pauses without blocking any other goroutine, even if you're running only a single process. You never have to return a promise.

Contrast that with JavaScript where you're forced to use promises/async await. If you don't, you block the whole event loop.

This is a silly comment for the fact that there are no such pipelines being evaluated or proposed. The argument rests on the idea that there are good ways to bypass Syria (there aren't).

And no, the war is not merely about this pipeline. But it is one of the 'prizes' at stake which has gotten the support of foreign countries spending money and shipping arms into Syria proxy forces (notably, in this case, Qatar).
