everyone I know in New York City is complain about rent INCREASES and GENTRIFICATION

Article: "East Harlem rents are among Manhattan's fastest-rising this fall"
http://ny.curbed.com/2016/11/21/13703220/fall-market-report-...

so I have no idea where business insider is getting it's data from. Also here is a lovely map of the subway stations and the median rents near by.

Notice that Bronx hardly exceeds $2000 (compared to the reported NYC median of $3100).

It's a cargo cult.
I live in Pullman WA. It is certainly very nice here but there is not a lot to do, and it is very much in the middle of nowhere. We rent a 3BR, 3BA house with a massive yard for $1400/mo. You couldn't put a price on the peace of mind I have living in a place as safe as this. If you aren't going out starting problems with frat dudes (this is a pure college town), you are essentially never at risk for crime. We leave our doors unlocked all of the time.

The bad: we are seriously isolated. Pullman has a small airport that has 3-4 flights a day, all going to Seattle which is a 5 hour drive. So unless you're going to Seattle there is no such thing as a direct flight, and flights to almost anywhere are very expensive. The nearest "big" city (pop. 200k so really not even very big) is 1.5 hours north in Spokane. We have Moscow, Idaho 20 minutes east (which is another college town with almost the exact same population, so it's almost like someone just copy and pasted), Clarkston WA and Lewiston ID 40 minutes south, and that. is. it. None of these cities exceed 30-40k in population.

All in all I wouldn't change much. This is a beautiful little town with just enough places to eat and drink to satisfy me, and plenty of outdoor activities. Hell of a place to raise children with some of the top schools in WA. I have family spread out all over the country and so not being able to see them frankly sucks. I miss some chain stuff we don't get out here like Five Guys and Chipotle but I probably shouldn't be eating that crap anyway.

Anything else you'd like to know about Eastern WA/Northern Idaho let me know.

I am very curious what led that time in history to spread wealth so evenly. I don't know much about it, but for about 50 years technology was giving us such amazing, shared increases in productivity and standard of living that people dreamed of a post-labor society. (like star trek).

I met someone who's been with a company for nearly 30 years. When they started, everyone got 15 vacation and 12 personal leave days a year.

It's unthinkable now. Why?
I think the best way to think of it is a heavy, rolling ball.
I'm more inclined to report reported differences to bad reporting of inputs. How many studies are conducted under controlled conditions? People lie about everything all the time, especially to themselves.

As I'm currently living in a hacker house in San Jose, I'm obligated to say that this is mostly true except that you make it sound shadier than I think it usually is.

Mine is a 5 bedroom that fits 15 people (one of the 5 bedrooms is for the guy who runs it + his gf). He himself is renting from a landlord who knows that it's a hacker house and is completely happy with that--the landlord gets paid rent while the host takes care of everything that goes wrong (when all utilities get 5x normal use, things break all the time). The host does all this and makes $27/day from each tenant. The whole setup is through Airbnb, and he's made sure he complies with Airbnb rules as well as San Jose rules for renting out houses.

I, too, first rented this place because it was cheap and available on 1 days notice, and while I had planned on moving out to find an apartment, I ended up staying for months because the community is good, the house is well maintained, and the rent really is affordable compared to the cost of most places on Craigslist (which would all be shared houses anyway).
Yes, your body temperature can be lowered, somewhat. Your temperature actually varies over a pretty wide range all of the time, with daily cycles and in response with your activities and things like fighting infections. But your average temperature can trend higher or lower, corresponding to a higher or lower basal metabolism.

Other things that can happen when your metabolism slows down are that you get tired more often and more easily, your thought processes slow down, you sleep more. This happens to everyone as they age, and it can also happen from chronic stress, calorie restriction sufficient to trigger 'starvation mode', and anything else that causes your body to try to conserve energy for survival.

Neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock's talk discusses the aspartame / weight-loss issue in detail, and as I recall, he says humans are more sensitive to this effect of aspartame than are mice:

Excitotoxins - The Taste That Kills" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTSvlGniHok
Why, yes, it's a typical confounding situation with exercise and diets. As you probably know, it's difficult to do calorimetry on humans, but if I recall correctly it is partly lowered heat generation (which doesn't necessarily change the core temperature you measure with a thermometer) and moving around less.
Switch Off the Football
Based on stories I've heard/read about manic spending, each person/episode can be different. Having said that, a common thread in many is some delusion of grandeur that could justify the expenses were it not a delusion.

Example I've heard: buying all the tubes of a certain kind of paint in an art supply store in anticipation of doing some huge project. The project realistically would've taken years to complete & their delusion was they were an unnaturally fast artist. Once they snapped out of it, they realized the work they'd done so quickly was shoddy, at best, though they couldn't tell in the grips of mania. They returned most of the unopened paint the next day.
How do we know that this article isn't Russian propaganda? I just prefer to go full solipsism.
No fucking kidding. I'm exhausted by people who say they heard a rumor that maybe aspartame has some secret hidden effect maybe- so it's better to suck down gallons of syrup water we KNOW kills more people than... anything.
> Precisely personal projects use these technologies. That's why they're personal projects; because I'm trying out new stuff.

Again: set up a self-signed certificate and you can do anything you want. It's a test environment, it takes a single google search and less than ten minutes to figure out how to issue a CA cert, import it in Windows, and sign a server certificate. Then you never have to think about it again.

Everyone always talks the talk about how they need to bake in security right from the start. Time to start walking the walk. If you don't use HTTPS-only features then go hog wild, otherwise you need to start thinking about how you are going to structure your application deployment to support HTTPS.

After all - even Google learned the hard way that there's no such thing as a "local network" where it's appropriate to run plain HTTP connections. Remember "encryption removed here ;)"? Just encrypt everywhere, day one.

One-time effort to set up a reverse proxy or a certificate doesn't really concern me that much, any more than the time it takes you to set up a Tomcat installation. Mostly this will be baked into Rails or your Maven archetype or whatever and you won't have to worry about it.

> I prefer to call it a valid complaint about an extortion racket, but I guess opinions differ

There's no "opinion" about it. A Let's Encrypt certificate costs nothing. They have to be extorting something from you before it's extortion.
Why not just have a program that iterates through all of the files, hashes them, stores them in a map/dict and then reports if there's a duplicate? Seems easier than renaming everything multiple times.
It's scandalous that it was a better investment to simply walk away then lose money on every transaction? And then you think they should be taxed because the government is forcing them to lose money?

I'm not some anti-government zealot, but think about what you are saying/asking for here.

Yeah, this is one particular kind of gentrification cycle that's sometimes seen in cities (most clearly in parts of Manhattan). Higher-quality new housing is built, which is one part of making an area more attractive to more affluent residents, which drives up prices despite there being more total housing available than before. What of course is less agreed on is how to untangle all the interacting causal factors here.

Manhattan is a particularly stark example because not only did its 20th-century building boom go along with long-term price increases, but it also went along with decreased population density. Compared to year 1900 Manhattan, year 2000 Manhattan had more square feet of residential space and fewer people living in it! (The reason for that is that wealthier families demand more square feet of living space per person, and in the case of Manhattan this effect outpaced the net increase in residential space.)
In the past I have included a "contact us for API access" email address, even if what I was posting was just an MVP. This helps me gauge interest in a potential SaaS, and has resulted in beta testers for a few of my projects.
Why rename them at all? There are already good tools for duplicate detection. An example is fdupes [1], which is smart enough to rule out dupes by other tricks like partial hashes etc., so you can avoid hashing some of the files.

Edit: just noticed that it's using md5, which is broken [2], and that it's using truncated md5 hashes.....!

I agree with your point on 'social' (although perhaps not 'web' ha), GoodReads seems to have the social end of reading pretty well fleshed out.

What's not really solved right now, imo, is the organization of what you're reading and what to read next. Goodreads does a pretty awful job of this. A command line tool is definitely interesting! Although you wouldn't be able to access your "reading list" from a phone/anywhere. I find a lot of the time while on the go someone tells me about a book and I want to save it for later immediately.

This is an odd sentiment. Most of the reporting around fake new shows it comes from entrepreneurial people, some I would say are morally suspect, but I have never seen any reporting show it going back to nation states. Its just clever people take advantage of people awful biases.
Minimizing (going from 3-4 cans of diet soda a day to 1-2 a week, on average) my artificial sweetener consumption has made it considerably easier for me to control my appetite.

I've finally been able to lose weight after years of being pretty much stuck. I'm following pretty much the same dietary guidelines (eat lots of fruits and veggies, minimize starches, make sure to get enough fat), but it's working this time because I have so much more control of my appetite. I just don't crave food, especially sweets, the way I used to. And when I do eat poorly, I feel much worse afterwords.

Cutting out diet soda was very hard though, I didn't realize how reliant on the 'sweet' I was until I tried to quit.
That's a good software pattern in general, and as you use more and more powerfully typed languages, the Coq analogy becomes even more obvious. If you write small modules, it's easier to statically prove more behavior. Then all you need is to compose the modules, and thanks to composition being a small, well-defined, and lawful operation, the correctness of your program becomes the sum of its proofs :)
You're behind everything, aren't you?

>This article tries hard and fails to make everything about Iran.

No, it just says there is a rivalry. It does say it started when Iran decided to promote revolution throughout the Middle East, but has gone on of its own momentum ever since.

>It is true that Iran and the Saudis are fighting for supremacy, but it is not true that all the wars in the middle east are because of that.

The article wasn't claiming that, but it was claiming those wars are a lot harder to end because of the Iran-Saudi conflict. I don't see how you can deny that.

The one think I'm thankful for is that the OP did a thorough investigation into PhoneGap. I've tried 5 cross platform build systems for iOS/Android (PhoneGap, Appcelerator, Adobe Air, Corona, and just rolling my own Web based app using Sencha Touch). I gave up trying to build anything other than native in ObjC/Swift and it seems like even 6 years later, the same problems are still prevalent.

The EC organized a voluntary Memorandum of Understanding for mobile phone chargers, where the major phone companies stated their intent to standardize on a common phone charger. (depending on who you ask, to avoid the EU making a binding rule about it otherwise)

Apple signed this too, but as we all know didn't actually add a micro-USB-B connector to their phones like everybody else, but just providing an adapter to USB, which was not forbidden, but arguably against the spirit of the memorandum.

Citing wikipedia, Some observers, noting Apple's continued use of proprietary, non-micro USB charging ports on their smartphones, suggested Apple was not in compliance with the 2009 Common EPS Memorandum of Understanding. The European Commission however, confirmed that all MoU signatories, "have met their obligations under the MoU,"[15] stating specifically, "Concerning Apple's previous and present proprietary connectors and their compatibility with the agreement, the MoU allows for the use of an adaptor without prescribing the conditions for its provision"

That makes sense. There would be a floor to rents, so the bottom wouldn't have much further to fall.
The rents are astounding to me as an Atlanta area resident. My fully loaded mortgage+escrow payment on an entire 3 BR house with a full basement (in which I have an office and wired for Cat6 ethernet) is less than $1100/month. There are tons of tech companies within commuting distance and even more remote work opportunities as a developer. Chances are good that we'll finally have gigabit fiber to the home within a year and current Comcast service is serviceable at 75 MBps.

The entire Reddit comment depends on the idea that such a "tailing-off" shape in the graph could only be caused by thermal contraction. This is just another way of saying that the experimental results don't seem to match existing theory, which is something we already knew.

When an experimental result doesn't make sense, you can't disprove it by pointing at part of it and saying "hey that doesn't make sense." Yeah, we know it doesn't.

In general I'm tired of people typing dismissive comments into social media and then high-fiving. Oh you're a physicist who thinks the error is obvious? Here's what I don't see: you risking your own grant money to prove it.

I'm not saying that the emdrive works--it almost certainly doesn't--I'm saying that science gets done in the lab, not web forums.
Control which gizmo handles the command when more than one are in earshot. I'd like to say "Hey champ, …" to get my phone to do something and "hey blew, …" to get my iPad to do something.

I'd also like to be able to control the auto-lock duration by voice; I don't want my iPad falling asleep when I'm not touching it in the kitchen.

Oh, and I'd like a way to get better directions information from it. Questions like "what exit do I take to get to [sporting goods store]?" would be nice to handle; occasionally I'll need computer assistance for only a tiny leg of the trip, and I'll want to minimize my reliance on a computer's instruction as little as possible.
Lovely long-form piece. Seems very analogous to the choice many tech companies face: focus on growing a moderately successful, proven model, or lever up to the gills with VC money and shoot for the moon. The later being sexier and higher status, but also risking catastrophic failure.

This is the exact same path I'm heading down. I had hundreds of feeds in Google Reader and am slowly reconstructing my news sources after outsourcing to social media or a few blogs. What i would love now is a service that merges similar stories into bundles. I wonder if something could be made that can bundle opposite positions on an issue as well.
The same author is working in Cocos2d-x and Cocos2d-iPhone, although Cocos2d-x is not owned by him.
In most cases, it was a struggle to get people to pay even $3/month for one of them, and I ended up shuttering some of them.
The feeling I get from this is that hundreds and hundred of hours of blood, sweat and tears from me, (which includes 50 years of knowledge, and personal sacrifices that I and my family have had to make) is, at the end of the day, worth less than a hole in the earth.

I've been there, so please don't take this the wrong way, but yes, your hundreds of hours of blood, sweat, and tears may mean less than a hole in the ground. And why shouldn't it?

Your hard work on its own means basically nothing to anyone. People buy because of the perceived value to them of what they're buying, not because of what the seller did or didn't put into it. If people weren't going to pay $3 / month for your project, it's because you weren't offering them at least $3 / month of perceived value.

There is basically no connection that I can see between how much hard work goes into something and how much the market is willing to pay for it. Some people labor a lifetime on something that no one will ever want, others spend a weekend throwing together a website that will one day IPO for billions [1].

This is why so many successful startup founders and investors advise getting a project out there as quickly as possible and iterating rapidly to either find product / market fit, or to abandon it for something else. Fighting an uphill battle to make people want something that they don't care about, just because you've poured so much into it is a recipe for disaster.

Again, I've been there, so please don't take any of this the wrong way! Just my own rumination in response.

1. Yes, a lot of hard work goes into it along the way, but that's a hell of a lot easier with early success.
