Part of the purpose of a public place is for people to be around other people. Considering that, isn't it counterproductive to actively work to make them less crowded?
> Starting something in the hopes of making an extra $1,000 a month is every bit as worthy as trying to colonize Mars. Start small and give your ambitions room to grow.

This was my favorite takeaway from this blog post. Rob Walling presents a similar idea in his book "Start Small, Stay Small.
Nice summary! As someone who writes multi-platform C++, it would would be even greater (but a lot more work) if each feature listed which version of each major compiler introduced support. (ie. Can I use this feature if my codebase is currently compiling under given versions of Clang, GCC, VS.)

Power of the state comes from its ability to engage in coercion and hence generally it is true that you can't expect to have a country without someone at the top with power to beat up the citizens into submission.

But generally the warlords are powerful only to the extent the underlying nation is engaging in extensive co-operation and wealth creation out of their free will. Nations are truly created by those ordinary people.

I am reminded of a powerful Indian tyrant named Muhammad Bin Tughlaq. He for some reason decided to move his capital to a different geographical area. By moving he literally wanted to move everything including the people to this new geographical area. Not only he failed miserably his name Tughlaq is synonymous with "idiotic behaviour high on power".

>> However, a new employer can apply for a new H1B for the balance of unused time in the original 6 year block without being subject to the cap even after you leave the US

So, say a worker on H1b quits and goes back to home country on last day of employment.

Then, after 6 months, they decide they want to come back to the US to work for a different company, is this a simple transfer of H1b?
Then the question arises why write it like that twice. Why is not written in Hindi even once?
It's ironic that you care about race here as people have transcended race in the works of Ghost in the Shell (people can easily inhabit a completely different body, even a non-humanoid one). I hope this world comes about soon so we don't have to worry about racial crap anymore.
That's a thoughtful piece, with some interesting suggestions toward the end. Your "tl;dr" is not inaccurate, but I hope people will read the whole thing.
Hasn't helped what exactly? OpenGL can't provide proper parallelized access to all the queues, so having compute shaders there isn't that useful.

Driving in a circle still isn't free it either costs gas or electricity. When you park your car you are constrained to park it relatively nearby. Logically your car lacking a parking spot at your location will seek one nearby until it has traveled far enough that it is logical for it to turn around and drive back to you.

In some cases perhaps it will rejoin the pool of available cars and you will picked up by a different car.

Perhaps retailers will be yet more likely to offer to ship selected large or awkward items directly to your home after you have picked them out.
I am in Hanmer Spring on holiday with the kids. Was 15km from the Epicenter when it hit. Big shake for a long time. One of the kids didn't wake up... worst thing that happened in our house was the shampoo falling into the bath, so pretty blessed there. All roads closed so guess we have an extended holiday. Lots of very big after shocks.

Residents of NYC pay $3000/mo for 1-bedroom apartments, while their suburban counterparts pay $1000/mo for 3-bedroom houses.

You could buy quite a few solar panels and lease several electric cars for less than it would take to move to NYC.
I do! I'm from Austria/Vienna and I love our high density cityscapes. There is no need for a car in cities since you can get anywhere with public transport. I usually use my bike, though, which has a huge part of the city within 20 minutes driving distance. In comparison, when I was working in Santa Clara, CA, there was virtually nothing within 20 minutes and the public transport was next to useless. I'm also not a fan of the huge expressways every other corner. Not my kind of city.
I suspect many will skip it entirely...there was a reason car insurance was made mandatory.
> as good as rail for a fraction of the cost of laying track

It's really not. Even long/double decker buses carry a fraction of the people a streetcar can.

Streetcars are still faster given other things being equal (dedicated lanes).

The maintenance of streetcars is much better. You have no tyers, fully electric engines, high torque and lower energy consumption.

Buses are good for short term routes, but long term a rail network will always win out in capacity and energy efficiency.

> The best argument for this burger is that the moral cost of killing a cow is much higher than the added price of the artificial meat. I'd find that argument pretty convincing, but I don't make enough money to be that moral.

There's also the effect of cattle on the environment. They are the largest producer of greenhouse gasses by far. I personally have no moral issue with killing animals, but the effects on the environment have made me switch to Chicken (which is better for the environment and leaner) but I would gladly switch to biocattle.

Well, I consider it a happy ride if I have a chance to sit down...

Yes, the buses have handles and everything for standing passengers. Wider aisles and stand-only areas instead of more seats too. The inside of the bus look like a tram/metro rather than long distance bus/train.

Yes, emergency stops are not comfortable. Some old lady falls and breaks her hand every few years. But trams have traffic lights and may have to do emergency stop too. Trams probably have less emergency stops per km travelled. But I never considered this a huge issue.

AFAIK, bus service regularly train drivers to drive "nice-to-passengers". Park close to curb, avoid emergency stops, start smoothly etc. I guess there's a risk for this problem, but it seems to be manageable.

Timetable rules may be a big factor too. I heard more bus drivers loose bonuses for driving faster than schedule than for being (unreasonably) late..
What? That's crazy looking! Why not just put the third prong in there if it's wired up to handle a screw?

I really like GITS: Stand Alone Complex. It's probably the best animated series I have watched (the other one that comes to mind, while quite different, would be Batman The Animated Series).

Edit: I'd love some cyberpunk-style recommendations (comic books, series). What I really want is some sort of corporate dystopia, similar to the Android:Netrunner universe (I've read those books they were decent but not great) or close to Blade Runner. Ideally with some noir elements. Where's that semantic search engine when you need it :D
It's a catch-22, because they have to buy the car to get anywhere, and now that they have the car they can't afford to live anywhere, and because everyone else owns a car nobody will build places that don't require a car.
Good to know. Although it does raise the question of how a line is drawn. I'm imagining a "I smoked pot when I was your age but..." sort of conversation - just infinitely more uncomfortable for everyone involved.

But here's the thing, even though they are purer and "better" in any objective measure they sell for a much lower price because people don't want them.

Diamond ring purchase is about status projection and having an "artificial" one screams low social status and is to be avoided at all cost.

I found that the hard/funny way while visiting Amsterdam and witnessing a woman choosing a diamond at bulk retailer.

When checking the beauty of the stone she clearly preferred the lab created one. Once informed that it was "artificial" and thus much cheaper she immediately changed her opinion stating that the "natural" one was much better and totally refusing the "artificial" one.

It's all about status.

Many of the benefits you listed are good examples of how people are actually pretty bad at predicting what will make them happier. We have a lot of data on the subject.

- People think that living in a larger home will make them happier than a shorter commute. Cohort studies show the opposite is true. We adapt most quickly to things (good/bad) that stay the same (like the size of your house), and poorly to things that change (like the traffic situation from day to day).

- People think they will be more active if surrounded by parks and greenery, but city dwellers actually walk/bike more. People moving to the city lose weight within a few months (~3 lb. if I remember correctly)

- People think that cities are dangerous, but you are more likely to be killed young in the suburbs. This is because car accidents are far more likely than homicides, and you drive more in the suburbs.

We know people in cities are, on average, happier and healthier.

It is, I encourage Libertarians & Anarchists to go live their dreams, you can live in a community or lack thereof that shares your values, and if you are unwilling to live in a community that shares the values you advocate and support, you should seriously rethink your values.

This is why I can't respect people like Peter Thiel, he would rather take all the benefits he can accrue from a society he so loathes, but he refuses to live in any of the Libertarian communities that exist. What kind of person can't even stand up for their core beliefs? An unrespectable pile in my experience.

Also roads are built for the peak consumption. Outside the peak, there's generally excess capacity quietly eating away space from pedestrians and human beings.
I downvoted you because again this is potentially dangerous advice for the plurality of people who live outside the USA, without referring to local standards.

For example in the UK neutral is traditionally grounded at the electrical substation, which serves several hundred homes, and all lines are separate / unbonded within the house.

In the most recent PME standard in the UK the earth and neutral are bonded back to the substation as the Protected Earthed Neutral but that is achieved on the supply-side, not the in consumer equipment.

The bigger story here seems to be that Croatia is treating the territory of Liberland as its own. I wonder what that means for Balkan relations? Has Croatia now accepted the revised borders?

Edit: Actually Wikipedia says that Croatia's position is that the land belongs to either Serbia or themselves, to the exclusion of any third party. Link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia%E2%80%93Serbia_borde...
I'm actually curious then about examples of production high-performance 3D games developed using Unity that can top 30 FPS on 2012-2013 Galaxy S3 Adreno 320 spec hardware while pushing 200k triangles? I looked a long time, but couldn't find any.

Unreal Engine? Yes, and Unreal Engine actually uses native code and gives you a lot more flexibility "under the hood," given you have their actual C++ source code to work with. Before I completely gave up on Unity (and believe me, I tried my best to like Unity for six months given the relative ease in finding industry hires), I had a 20+ pile of unresolved bugs in their issue tracker.

Unity has an experimental alpha LLVM compiler that translates C# IR to native ARM7 machine instructions (in the most roundabout inefficient fashion with an intermediate step that translates CIL IR to C++ _first_ with their very own IL2CPP BEFORE running through another compiler), but it was buggy as shit when I tried it in early 2016 (to the point where it was unusable).

If you can't see how interpreted garbage-collected bytecode can become CPU bound (look at Minecraft, for a great example) -- especially on a lower power mobile ARM7 processor -- then quite frankly, I'm wasting my time trying to reason with you.

Regardless, I have gathered extensive hard data in the form of draw calls, memory usage, CPU profiling, thermals, power draw, etc. actually supporting my position. So far, your only recourse has been issuing ad hominem attacks.

You must work for Unity or something, because I can't figure out too many other reasons why somebody could be this obtuse.
I think this depends vastly on the city. An unhealthy city won't have these kinds of benefits.

I think, particularly in the climate that I'm in, a /cave of steel/ style city WOULD have those benefits. If instead of streets for cars we had a mesh of (Babylon 5 style) 'zocolo' (sp) markets that had smaller storefronts and a lightly park like median.

I think, on its own, that the story holds up to being "worth reading". The Dark Forest solution to the Fermi paradox is elegant and I was surprised (from cursory research) that Liu seems to be the first to come up with it.

However the real value in the book for me was twofold: first, some insight into the way PRC folks think (some mistake it for a bad translation or criticise the way the characters are thinking as "unrealistic" - I would say instead it's often very Chinese); second, this is one of few books depicting information warfare.

On the first I have not much more to say. I've lived in Asia for a while so I recognise some patterns, but I don't speak Mandarin. My understanding of PRC folks is purely based on my interaction with my friends there. Nevertheless based on this I would say that a lot of the ways in which the characters' thinking differs from that of say, those in a Vernon Vinge novel are typically Chinese. In the same vein there is the hilarious dating show Fei Cheng Wu Rao although it's hard to pick up a subtitled version (it airs on one of the Australian channels occasionally).

Information warfare is rarely discussed intelligently here for some reason (probably because it is used systematically by a variety of groups that frequent HN and try to minimise its existence and impact, because "those who know stay quiet" and because it is easier to defend from manipulation if the manipulator does not understand you well).

In Liu's books, particularly the first and a little bit in Death's End, it consists of modifying the culture of the enemy so that it is more easily defeated. This is an art as old as humanity; the first formal reference to it in the modern era might be the Potemkin village, and a good introductory book on the Soviet flavour ("Active Measures") is Gen. Oleg Kalugin's biography [1] published after he defected. If you speak French, both books by the anonymous "Lt Col X" [2] (most likely to be a French intelligence officer) are also worth a read.

Taken together with the fact that the book was very successful in China (which is impossible without at least tacit government approval), it presents a possible explanation for the Great Firewall.

In the book, a key plot point is that everything you do is known instantly by the enemy - just like the NSA was shown to be able to do by Snowden. Thus, humans need to learn to hide their actions, letting just enough information leak to other humans for coordination but without tipping their hand to the very smart, omniscient, but less able to lie Trisolarians. Considering the Chinese have a reputation for speaking in parables ("riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma" - applicable to the Russians originally but I heard it many times applied to the PRC) there is a direct parallel with a facet of how the authorities and some of the population might view the current top superpower.

In short I guarantee it will be unlike anything you've read this year.

Neither of which is nearly as good for the environment as simply using less energy. Solar panels and electric vehicles take a lot of energy to make, and are not guarenteed to become carbon neutral during their usable life.
