I had a peruse through http://www.city-data.com earlier, and most of the cities I thought of looking at were higher than that 3.9 - only Portland and NYC (oddly) matched it. Denver was 5ish. Dallas 9ish. SF 5. LA 6. Nashville 6. Boston 8. While I didn't go exhaustive, it was enough to establish the trend. I imagine Salt Lake City would be lower than the national rate, but most of the cities were above it - certainly more population than 1-2%.

Get into the cities perceived as high crime (chicago, philly, dc...) and you get 15s and up - nawlins was 40!
Why is there such a difference? Surely each of those states with low murder rates have good and bad bits?
> They can't afford a nanny more than before. They can't buy a bigger car than before

If they want to inherit their house to children, that might be the case. But that is the case with any asset - it is irrelevant whether any jewellery or painting you own is worth $1 or $1 million if you never intend to sell it, ever.

But the house is real wealth and that wealth can be unlocked - a reverse mortgage is not unusual, and the more valuable the house, the higher the annuity you can earn from releasing the equity from it step by step. And that allows you to get a nanny or make car payments or go on cruises or whatever.
Some people would argue that optional static typing (flow/typescript over js style) can be superior because you get the best of both worlds - typing when you need it and no typing where it's not necessary / you need to prototype it quickly.

There is some merit behind it because more often than not, you don't know in advance what class hierarchy you're going to end up with. No typing means faster prototyping and you have flexibility to add it at your own paste.

This is too subtle. Incompatible operations should be rejected. Reliance on the programmer to correctly use systems that don't enforce consistency to write consistent transactions is a bad strategy.

Your container should be built by an automated process as part of a continuous deployment setup, just like your automated build, so I don't see the difference.
Opt-out is what commecrial companies do because they do not respect their users' privacy. Free open source software should do the opposite.

Furthermore, several researchers from MSR working on HoloLens have left Microsoft and founded a startup around HoloLens this year: http://perceptiveio.com/team/

In terms of existing infra, private DC capacity is surely an order of magnitude more than public cloud. New capacity getting installed might be a bit more evenly split. How you differentiate between any private infra and private cloud I don't know.

Public clouds often use colo facilities, especially for new/small regions. So colo != private.

Just few things happened recently related to data on cloud.

1> Google deleted People's account who bought Pixel from reseller. They have to beg google to restore their data, contacts. Not going to happened if you have it in your own cloud.

2> Windows 10 is full of telemetry. Imagine someone knows exactly what software you used, when you used it, for how long. Advertisement are built-in with system level. You don't own your machine anymore, Windows 10 can decide when it want to upgrade itself then lock you out from using it for hours. Your data now is in Microsoft's cloud, but you don't decide how they can use it, who they are going to sell to.

For depository reason? Sure of course, cloud is reliable on up time, expandable with a few click. But if Cloud provider decided to wipe the account with whatever reason, what you are going to do?
I noticed this got voted up and down more than usual. Maybe a little elaboration:

Square often corresponds to power/energy in systems AND energy (integral of power) is preserved. That relationship between physics and math allows a lot of useful transformations.
If we transfer the liability to the consumer, he _will_ consider this a necessary feature. And ask for it. It takes one serious conviction of a consumer and the company selling him crap will go out of business.
I think you should grow up and realize that not everyone conforms to your worldview. As an example, I don’t use Google every day (I use DuckDuckGo), I don’t use Facebook, Twitter, or Google Maps, nor do I have a phone (can’t justify the expense when I have Wi-Fi access most of the times I need it).

As echoed by many others above, I never gave Homebrew consent to send any information to Google; it should be opt-in. Frankly, I was quite annoyed after updating Homebrew and found it already trying to connect to Google Analytics immediately after. Thankfully, I was able to block the request with Little Snitch and then opt-out of the analytics, but it certainly left a bad taste in my mouth that they’d start collecting data before even letting me opt-out first!

From a happy and grateful Homebrew user, thank you for all the work you are doing. It's really easy for folks to underestimate how much effort is involved in running a project like this. Details like the above should be a reminder that it's clearly a very significant amount of hard, sometimes thankless, work; work which you are in no way obligated to do. There are large numbers of people who owe you a massive debt of gratitude for all the time and hassle that your effort has saved them. And it's quite sad that we (people) tend not to speak up when we are happy, and only make noise when we're upset about something.

Thanks for continuing to work on this project!!
No it won't. Assuming the stuff we have in US is the same, increasing the amount of money 10 fold will increase prices 10 fold. The difference will be that the ratio between the median and the top 0.1% will become more equitable.
The article does not address important topics such as privacy and security.

For some organizations using a private cloud is not a technical decision but instead a political/ethics one.

As an example I would bet that there are several companies out there who would not care if all services were down for a full day (in their private cloud), as long as they were certain that no government could easily access them.

Little Snitch is excellent for this. I remember running brew at some point and being asked by Little Snitch if it could connect to Google. I said "deny forever" and have never worried about it since.
fugot: Like `got` but with futures
How about try not to assume malice out of people's free software from the very first thing they did that you don't agree with?

Its open source. Why not open an issue, contribute a patch to make the process opt-in, start a discussion, start a fork? Oh, of course, why would we do that when we can attack the maintainers, call their software a spyware, and threaten to sue instead? While we're at it, let's use words like "spyware" and "stealing" to paint them in an even worse light.

I, for one, loves the homebrew project, and I don't want the maintainers to burn out. There isn't much that I can contribute to the project, but calling out this kind of behaviour is the least I could do, and thats exactly what I'll do.
Ask HN: Is there any other cheap/free analytics tool other than Googles?
I have some sites and all use Google Analytics even if I'd rather use something else. I would even be prepared to pay for it. Is there any such service out there?
I'd actually see it as validation of the technology they are working on. Hurts to lose people but Microsoft can refill research positions fairly well (anecdotally).

As HN: how to serve subdomain content in a subfolder?
At work we have the following situation:
- we have several web applications hosted on various servers and end result is that they end up like this application1.root.com/page1
- this is bad for our SEO value/domain authority as Google will register the content of application1 to belong to a different domain domain than root.com
- Ideally we would like to put it into a subfolder like this root.com/application1/page1

I don't think that 'professional listings' are negative and I don't think there is misrepresentation.

I fact - I have absolutely no will or wanton to go and stay in someone's room, or even in a personal flat - I don't want to use someone else's stuff.

I actually much prefer a professionally managed space that just happens to not be a hotel.

As far as how it affects local markets - that's another question entirely.

It's probably a good idea that those markets decide for themselves how it should be regulated.
I took intro to stats at a business school and switched to computational linguistics and honestly, I have only been met with the "It is something that you do" in regards to P-values.

This explanation doesn't touch the hard problem.
Please have a look at the 'easy' problems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness#... - you're still within the functional mindset of these problems.

Are neural nets conscious of their representations? If not - why? What's the difference between neural net that has subjective experience of its intermediate representations and the one that doesn't? On a functional level it doesn't need any subjective experience, so why would it explain anything?

Attempts like this definitely give us some intuitions, but they are working around the hard problem without addressing it.
I only know Transmeta, because Linus Torvalds worked there.
Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work, it's appreciated by many. Maybe this wasn't the best choice, but missteps happen. Sadly, we'll never know how it might have been dealt with if people were able to take a deep breath and open a real, constructive dialogue about it rather than immediately freak out and make threats against you, forgetting (or simply not caring) that, by and large, people like you have been doing them huge favors while demanding nothing in return. Pathetic.
The paper's conclusion claims that " Furthermore, we have discovered that a law of normality for faces of non-

A bit like how our own middle classes are not doing so great anymore compared to years prior and how our own population is calling for more representation. Which is why, as speculated by many, Trump got elected and Britain voted in favor of Brexit.

It's really odd that hotel prices have not changed that much.

Maybe hotels are really for corporate/business stays - and that AirBnB has simply expanded the personal travel market.

Like how airlines make 50% of their profit off of business travellers ... Hotels are 1st class, AirBnB is 'coach' (purely from economic perspective, I understand people might value things differently).

Or it could be that the extra safety/quality/taxation requirements of hotels make them uncompetitive vis-a-vis AirBnB.

i can imagine building everything from sources must be painful on such a puny machine. why didn't you use binary packages? pkg install vim ?
Given the option, I would pick .NET in a heartbeat. Of course, I am a .NET guy anyway, and generally loathe JavaScript and the whole Node clusterfuck to start with.

I really like having a static type system, that assists my static analysis and refactoring tools like those built into VS or ReSharper's. Even better when I can use F#, so I have access to an even stronger type system. I get so irritated when a stupid typo that would be caught by the compiler, results, in JS, in trying to access something undefined and crashing. Consequently, I am much more productive and faster working in C# than JS.

In general, I find the situation with NuGet packages vs Node packages far more sane. .NET has a workable standard library built in, and has not really embraced the idea of micro-assemblies containing a single type or function, and so typically .NET assemblies encompass a larger scope, and have less version churn, and more backwards compatibility. In a typical .NET project, I might reference a dozen NuGet packages. In a typical Node project, NPM pulls down hundreds of megabytes of slightly different versions of 100 different micro-libraries, nested dozens of layers deep in the filesystem - usually I'll have four or five different point releases of lodash or underscore as dependencies of dependencies of dependencies. Not to mention all of the things on the order of left-pad.
Ok, sure. At least complain for both. I didn't see the post referring to anything besides brew. I'm all for protesting and trying to fix any size and kind of injustice. But just don't target the less guilty. brew is still guilty for not having an even bigger announcement. But less target others too, at least. I would hate to see brew or any other similar software be the sole target and have to change for the worse, because it was unlucky enough to be the scapegoat.

I would recommend Golang.
It is faster than Node.js and lighter on the memory footprint than C#.
Easy to learn, with types and good documentation.
And it has the libraries for a medium size project.
Actually on my projects I use only 3 languages.
Golang, Python(Django) for server side stuff and Javascript for front-end.
You're mistaken on this point as well. You absolutely can make assets. You can create wealth.

For an example, I live off the profits of a SaaS business that I built myself. In addition to creating wealth for me, it is in fact an asset that I can sell if ever I want. It genuinely is "money" poofed into existence out of nowhere.

All we've actually done is add an extra zig in to the capital flow I described above. So before, we had Joe earning a dollar, using it to buy a donut from the grocer who puts it in to the bank. Now, Joe gives that dollar to me in exchange for my service, and I use it to buy that donut.

No central authority decided to increase the wealth supply. I did it myself.

Whether this trend is real, whether it will continue, whether you or I believe in it - who knows.
I would urge everyone who can to sign the petition against it.

This, in my mind is a problem, not because of the obvious costs (ISPs storing _literally all_ metadata for a year), and the insidous privacy concerns, but how bad Govts are at keeping information secure.

IMHO, trotting out "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" BS doesn't mean that at some point, that data will be misused, even if the UK (My) Government doesn't suddenly turn dictatorial.
The CP clearly believes that as long as growth is maintained and people's lives improve, there won't be any political resistance. I'm inclined to agree.

We have a lot of examples of people protesting and calling for more representation when they're not doing well economically but do we have any examples, any evidence, any indication at all of people doing that when things go well economically?

The potential loss of quality of life associated with such resistance failing is massive and the probability of a failure is high. The people have too much to lose by calling for more representation and honestly not that much to gain.

I have been an emacs user for about ten years now.

When I started programming, I used emacs, then switched to vim. I used vim for a couple of years, and I have fond memories of it. I think the occasion to switch back to emacs was my attempt to become familiar with Lisp, but I am not entirely sure any more.

But eventually I re-discovered emacs and its customizability and extensibility. The fact that you can run a shell, a Lisp/Python/Ruby-REPL or an SQL session in an emacs buffer helped.

Also, emacs comes with a builtin Unix-ish shell written in elisp, which is nice on Windows.

For quickly editing a file (usually some config file) I still use vi sometimes, although it is becoming less common since I discovered emacs' server mode.
Surely the best thing to do is to install software that constantly randomly browses the internet, and properly clogs up any attempt at total logging and/or extracting anything of value out of it. If you're the only one doing it, it will look suspicious, but if you reach any kind of critical mass, I would imagine that it could be quite disruptive.
