Oh wow. That is insane. I actually agree with houses including parking. Just seems like a common sense thing to do. Don't drive, use your garage for a startup, a gym or game room I guess.
Here in my part of the greater Los Angeles area, in the poorer areas, you will see most houses with more than a few cars in each house. In my area we have some people who have more than five cars/household for houses that are probably no larger than 1500 sq. ft.
Well said. Owning a firearm is a serious commitment and responsibility. You describe well the dedication it takes for a gun to be a useful tool and not just a hazard in the home.

Choosing the right weapon for your needs is not just a trip to Cabela's and I'll take the shiny one. I like what you say about supply chain. Even if as a novice you manage to kill an animal for food, do you have any idea how to process it for safe consumption. There are less resource and skill intensive ways of hunting (trapping, snaring) that can be successful. When someone says, "should I buy this gun?", it's a bit like when someone says, "should I buy this computer?" Well, it all depends what you're trying to do.

Long story short. Great post.
>At first that seems crazy, but it makes sense if you think about the fact that all the places you go in a day need to have enough parking to meet their peak demand all year

"Need to", because, god forbid if people:

(a) take the public transit (or build a decent public transit in the first place),

(b) park a little further down (e.g. half a mile or so), and walk to the place you want to go.
Umm how many of the people talking here have kids? I'm guessing very few.

I was in my mid 30's when I had my first kid, lots of friends. Kids make you friends.

> "Of all the content on Facebook, more than 99% of what people see is authentic. Only a very small amount is fake news and hoaxes. "

You've lost me at this 'Zuck'.
I'm sorry but spend 5 minutes with just about any Facebook user over the age of maybe 50 and it will be immediately clear how much "fake news" they consume--often indeed from Facebook. This seems like a no-brainer to me.

That said, I can understand Facebook not wanting to be the news police here. Not only is that an extremely hard problem, but it's also antithetical to their business from a platform and politics perspective.

How could that possibly be the case? Suppose the regulation states every new unit needs 10 parking spots--now that single unit must carry the cost of those additional parking spots.
The biggest barrier of contributing back is that it takes a lot of time and effort (even for small projects) which you are not obliged to make. A lot of the time the driver for contribution is only the person's internal belief that he/she has to do it and honestly sometimes even when you want to contribute back, you don't have enough time or energy after 8+ hours of work.

It can be a big difference if the library author allows contributions much-much easier to make.

Ding ding ding.

Under the modern American consensus, regulations on residential/commercial development are acceptable but public spending on housing is "socialism".

Public housing is all downsides but the costs of urban sprawl are distributed among the community and commercial development costs primarily affects developers (and it's a lot cheaper to build parking lots than subway service at a reasonable density per unit area).
The traffic reduction will come from two sources -- fewer cars and the fact that the cars can drive at optimal speed, reducing unnecessary slowdowns.

That being said, while some cars would need to be stationary, there are plenty of people moving around all day long.
So in principle WaPo or anyone else willing except that it is immoral to create regulations about X where people who do not benefit from X end up paying for it ?

Will WaPo argue the case to abolish things like college education subsidies where people who never even go to college end up subsidizing those who do ?

While WaPo is absolutely right in stating the facts it may or may not be bad for the poor people. I live in Sunnyvale and prefer to work around Sunnyvale precisely because of the ample parking spaces everywhere. If the regulations don't exist for those spaces I might consider moving to some other place where they have more parking space.

Poor people benefit by having well off people living around them for many number of reasons.

>Cixin Liu's Three Body trilogy

Man... I've been trying to get started on it for months! My eye was caught by it at random in the "New" section of my local library, and then the jacket held me when it said (paraphrased) that it had basically won every Chinese SF award there is. The book was the 2nd of the series, though, and the 1st was checked out...

It's been completely checked out every time I've been in a library since then, and I've been to three different ones.

I guess it must be good? Your mention of it only adds fuel to the fire. At some point I'll be intentional enough about it enough to place a hold or buy them, I guess.
Implicitly, the author assumes that a car would be the last thing this hypothetical poor person would purchase.

There are in fact, many impoverished homeless people who live in cars. In this case, they might find themselves parking in one of those abundant spaces.

FYI. The kernel Ceph client has local fscache cache. I added it to the kernel :) https://lwn.net/Articles/563146/

We started using Ceph because we wanted to be able to grow our storage and compute independently. While it worked well for us we ended up having much larger latencies is as a result of this. So we developed FSCache support.

Even better yet, if you data is inherently shareable (or has some kind of locational affinity) you can end up always serving data with a Ceph backend from the local cache with the exception of a server going down or occasional request. I'm guessing it is (repo / account)

On your API machines serving out the git content of out the DFS you can setup a local SSD drive to read only caching. Depending on you workload you can end up significantly reducing the IOPs on the OSDs and also lowering network bandwidth.

With the network / IOPs savings we've decided to run our CephFS backed by Erasure Coded pool. Now we have lower cost of storage (1.7x vs 3x replication) and better reliability because now with our EC profile we can lose 5 chunks before data loss instead of 2 like before. That's because we more the 90% of requests are handled with local data and there's a long tail of old data that rarely accessed.

If you're going to give it a try, make sure you're using a recentish kernel such as a late 3.x series (or 4+). That has all the Cephfs FSCache / and upstream FSCache kinks work out.
If you're using relatively recent kernel such late 3.x series or 4+ (as in ubuntu 16.04).
Take it from another perspective, this is more like a cofounder (or really, two cofounders) being so headstrong that he won't budge on his opinion for the good of the company.

>I'd be very surprised if shared self driving cars lead to a major reduction in excess parking, or lower the number of traffic jams.

I agree. Years ago in a certain Asian city when chauffeurs were still common for well off families, traffic around luxury department stores was bad even during day time.

A chauffeur would drop off the housewife for a shopping trip, and than he would drive around and around until her shopping was done (because parking is hard to find).

I expect same thing to happen with self-driving cars.
The US is the wrong level of government for a healthcare system. If a place like California wanted to offer free healthcare to its residents, that's fine, but the federal government should only be responsible for war, negotiating trade deals, handling immigration, and other external issues.

The Guardian just published a line-by-line analysis of this document:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/13/trump-policy...
The argument isn't blaming rich people for parking that causes costs to rise for poor people.

The argument is:

* mandatory parking is imposed by urban planners

* mandatory parking raises costs for all people

* poor people are less able to absorb the increased costs

Shoup's The High Cost of Free Parking goes into a lot of detail and approaches it from the point of view of planning theory. It's a good read, I recommend it.
So even without that "red neon warning sign" you marriage still didn't work.

If stores are helped by free parking, then we should be able to leave the parking space to the market: Let retail real state builders decide how much parking space they need, and let them act in their own best interest. However, that's not how it works.

A large majority of US metro areas mandate huge amounts of free parking that are enough to have space in Black Friday, whether they need it or not. For instance, there's a strip mall near me divided in two halves. One half has a neighborhood supermarket, three tiny stores (hair salon, gamestop, froyo), and two restaurants. That half has 400 parking spots. Typical number of spots in use? well under 100. It's not even half full when every line in the supermarket is working right before thanksgiving. But those 400 spots are mandated by area, just because the municipality finds all this parking space a great way to deter the least successful merchants to move in: Making sure all space is premium space is a way to make sure poorer people not only don't move to the municipality, but not even come here to shop. A bit like how municipalities also don't want public transport nearby.

Which places around here lack public parking? Urban areas where poor people live, as it's a way to tax non-residents.

Therefore, if this was really about what is good for stores, we'd see a lot less regulation, as opposed to what is good for the municipality itself.

God forbid that these are suburban areas where public transit effectively makes no sense for the loosely-packed population- you might as well be blowing away $ building parking spaces half a mile away.

You're still assuming that everyone owns their own self-driving car, though. Given that the average person only uses a car for one hour per day it's silly that you'd keep idle a car that can drive itself for those other 23 hours. It makes sense to share the entire fleet. So after you get dropped off at the mall, the car is off to pick up its next passenger, and you get whatever self-driving car happens to be closest when you're done shopping.

In the UK the bank charges us to pay in cash (weirdly cheques were free, haven't had any for a while, may have changed) such that payment by card costs about the same when you factor in our micro-businesses staff having take the money to the bank. How the banks get away with charging to be given money I'm not sure.

Re your last point: it's probably a similar risk for us as charge-backs.

Customers offer to pay cash thinking it saves us money, they're wrong.

You are probably incorrect. Suburbs generally have parking requirements in their zoning laws as well.
I think the fact that Software Engineering not being regulated has been offset by the fact that the concept of open source code and open information (relative to other branches of engineering) pushes good practices to pretty much every programmer on the planet without asking (most of the time) and peer pressure is heavily against anyone who tries to sneak away or laze. I think software engineering is unique in being a collective of uncoordinated knowledge that self-heals and self-optimizes. All thanks to the open source movement and the n-number of tutorials online.

You get a closure whenever you evaluate a function statement. When a statement containing the 'function' keyword is evaluated, you get a closure implicitly instantiated for that new function instance.

Invoking an already existing function instance doesn't make a new closure - it keeps its existing one. Evaluating a statement containing the 'function' keyword does make a new closure.

A closure links to the enclosing function's scope, all the way back to the root/global scope (the window object on browsers).

Memory leaks can occur when closure scopes link infinitely, so it's handy to use the function-returns-function pattern (but not the way you described it) to 'reset' the closure links to something near the root scope.

JS module systems like CommonJS have done well to encourage very tidy closure scope chains even in extremely complex javascript programs.

You're stating an extremist fringe position, sadly.

There is no political will for a broadly available "because I want to be an American" visa program. To the extent that we give work authorization to foreigners en masse, it is to fulfill specific needs for labor that can't be met by domestic workers, or because they are exceptionally skilled.

Workers are locked down to specific fields because otherwise they might start competing with Americans for jobs, and the electorate doesn't want that.

> Add to that the fact that so many of the popular OAuth providers support "implicit grants" - where the access token is sent directly to the client - without adequate warning as to the security implications involved. Personally, I've yet to come across a case where the implicit flow is justified, and in my opinion, it should be disabled for any security-conscious OAuth provider (really, your fancy JS or mobile app can't communicate securely with a trusted server somewhere?).

If you can't trust the client _just enough_ to let it have a bearer token, what can you trust it with to allow requests to any backend (yours or facebook's)? Cookies or a token for your backend will be just as comprimisable, with the sole advantage that the attacker now can only work via your API on behalf of that user.

Furthermore, the devs taking shortcuts, if you take away implicit grants - guess what they'll do? They'll "encrypt" the
client secret into their app, and pray that it's "good enough",
then just emulate the code flow in the app. You're now less
secure, because the OAuth provider is going to assume that
the lack of implicit grant means "everyone is using a back
end server", instead of being able to put tokens and clients
into the "confidential" and "non-confidential" buckets.

Non-opaque tokens I agree are probably bad. However, opaque tokens doesn't keep developers from taking shortcuts. Only well-written SDKs and libraries, either generalized (for all OAuth) or specialized (facebook SDK) can do that. I've spent enough time in reddit.com/r/redditdev to realize that a large majority of devs won't take the time to do it right - many barely understand how HTTP works, when they're first learning this stuff. There's so much to learn and understand that no one is going to get it right without significant help in the form of SDKs and libraries that just do the right thing by default.
The plans can vary, they just have to cover standard set of things:

This topic is discussed at length in the book, "Green Metropolis". It's part of a bigger issue of always putting cars first. You can't build a large building without first doing a traffic study. If you bring too much traffic, you can't build it. Never mind that traffic is about the only cost in America that you can increase to make public transportation more appealing.

Generally U.S. building codes include a maximum building height, and require minimum parking spaces. Many European cities have maximum parking spaces, and minimum building height. The latter produces higher population densities which make public transportation possible.

We need to push back against suburban sprawl and the car-first design. No required parking, no free curbside parking, and a carbon tax on gasoline. Once cities get a population density >7 people per acre, public transportation becomes viable. Population density follows a logarithmic curve with miles traveled per person, so you get as much of a reduction from moving from 2 to 20 people per square acre, as from 20 to 200.
