In what way is it similar to cars?

If you want to mass-produce housing, you have to get around two very big barriers:

1. Most of the market looks down on mass-produced housing thanks to its association with trailer parks and/or identical condos.

2. Housing is mostly produced locally. Shipping large homes would be extremely difficult and expensive.

> Also, cars have customers which will pay many multiples the normal price for new technology, and that market that lasted for a century.

Sure, but that's equally true for housing. There are plenty of people who will pay a significant premium for a "smart home" or houses with energy efficient built in. This doesn't make mass-manufacturing easier.
My respect for NT grew tremendously after reading one of the early editions of Mark Russinovich and David Solomon's "Windows Internals". I haven't seen more recent editions but I'd suspect they just as informative.

The Wikipedia article on NT architecture is decent enough (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_Windows_NT), and some quick searching brought up this slide-deck from 2008 that's pretty good too: http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~zwang/files/cop4610/Fall2016/windows....

I'm most impressed w/ the kernel object manager and the pluggable user-mode "personalities". I've always dreamed of an NT "distribution" that didn't have Win32 but, instead, shipped with the Interix (aka Service for Unix) POSIX personality.
I won't throw shoes. However, I do prefer anything that forces a commands output into text. Which JSON at least gets that right.

Specifically, if I have something that output objects, it is possible (and likely) that I can not persist that output to less and explore what is going on. Great if I already know exactly what I want. Terrible if I just want a visual exploration. Worse, if I can't dump it to file, I may have to constantly do some expensive operations just to find out what will give me the answer I want.
This is coming close to the way I envision we’ll be programming in the future.

This goes from traditional 1-dimensional text-based programming to 2-dimensional visual programming.

What I envision is a 3-dimensional augmented-reality programming language where program elements will be floating around in 3d space around us and we use an augmented-reality interface to interact with them.

It’ll also enable us to do IoT programming in a very literal sense.

For example if you look at an air conditioner, light switch, or some other network-connected appliance that’s in front of you in the real world then the augmented-reality display will overlay the interface exposed by that device.

Let’s say that you’re looking at your phone (not the screen but the actual object). Since this is a device with a GPS chip your AR interface will indicate that you can do location-based programming with it.

Then you create the equivalent of an if-condition specifying a 10m radius around your current location.

if (phone is within 10m of current location) {

}

Now you look at a lightbulb in the room and your interface shows you that the lightbulb has a method for turning on.

You draw a line from the then-branch of the if condition to the light bulb.

You’ve created a program that turns on the light bulb in your room whenever you’re within 10m of this room.
> everyone for himself

I think it's also relevant to point out a sort of butterfly effect.

For example, John doesn't ride the public bus, but Sally, the after-school-care provider, rides it to and from work each day. John, is a single father and can't afford a private daycare so he relies on the public school's after care provided by Sally. Sure, John could vote to abolish the bus system, and save a few dollars in taxes each year, but then he's cutting off his own nose to spite his face as he no longer can afford after care for his children.

I've heard that Westerners misunderstand the "socialism" of Nordic countries. More than one person has posited that the majority favors free and public healthcare and education systems because they are better for the individual; it ensures their family, regardless of personal circumstances, are taken care of and have the backing of an entire country. Not sure if this is true, but I hope it is.

It was using a calling card, so I needed to dial the local calling card number, type in my prepaid ID, and then the destination number. So, although the destination number was Australia, the issue occurred somewhere en route before then.
GP's suggestion is that you use 4 instead of 3. If you have 5 numbers, you multiply them by 4^5, 4^4, etc, and then add them. You waste some fractional bits, but you can do everything with masks and shifts instead of multiplications and divisions by three.
If you're going to ask me about what should be the case, I'd certainly want to move more towards a land value tax[0], which captures the rental value of the land, but doesn't tax the improvements on top of it. It's agreed upon by many economists and ethicists to be fair, efficient, and consistent with sustainable urban planning and finance. It's arguably the most progressive tax.

Prop 13, FWIW, is almost precisely the opposite of a LVT. It's been putting more of the burden of financing California onto income, sales taxes, etc, in order to subsidize landowners.

MakerBot's bold bet that 3D printers would become common
I've been doing lots of customer interviews lately, and I'm absolutely loving it. I think this bit of advice from the article is dead wrong "know exactly who you want to talk to and what you want to know".

I've got a product that is growing nicely and that users love, but we haven't been able to monetize it yet. Lots of other comments point to things like Ford's (misattributed) "they'd say I want a faster horse".

Don't ask people directly what they want, find out what they are doing, what they need to do, and you'll start to find a pattern emerge.

The reason I feel you can't know what you want to find out or discuss is that you can miss exactly what the customer is telling you.

In my experience, I will often ask pointed questions about what more we can do, and I get blank stares and uses just say "it's great" and give me requests for minor improvements. When I probe them about other parts of their business, they open up about what they are doing in other segments which to them are completely different than what we do, but when I point out the similarity, and what we could do in these other areas to help them out, they perk right up and come up with a bunch of good ideas that they are happy to pay for.

So be flexible, and look for patterns more than answers. I'd also suggest, if you're in the same place as I am looking to monetize an existing product that most see as free, ask where they are spending money and see if there is opportunity for those funds to be re-allocated to you.
Ethernet has always "cared" what type of upper payload its carrying. It has to, there are any other things besides IP that run directly on top of Ethernet frames. For instance 0x0800 means that the ethernet frame is carrying an IPv4 datagram.

My handwavy evaluation of the data says that 3% are "people whose parents moved in with them" - this is based on the "Annual Income" graph which basically bottoms out at 3%. And it's consistent with the Age graph, which also bottoms out around 3% except for people above 53 (53+30=83, so a lot of those parents are in a high-mortality age).

So just subtract 3% from all numbers, where that makes sense of course...

> and merely living in a prefab flat is not commonly considered undesirable

Ehm, no.

Those prefab buildings are the immediate definition of "housing for unemployed immigrants". The social stigma is so bad, when I was in elementary school, I lived right next to one – and my grades were horrible. Some day, my parents told the teacher we actually owned a house right next to the bloc (the teacher had thought we lived in the bloc), and suddenly my grades jumped from D to A. All of them.

The stigma is massive, and it will affect your life massively.
Interesting to me is that in the US most parents want to give their kids the boot at 18.

In India, where my wife is from, family lives together. Family is a big thing there. It is not uncommon to see mom and dad, daughter and son, grandmas and grandpas, or even aunts and uncles all living in the same home.

Close. It is cron that requires a package which provides `mail-transport-agent`, because output from cronjobs is traditionally emailed to users.

You can see this via:

Note that the `apt` package itself does not require a MTA.
The reason we don't mass produce houses is because it is a job creator.
I think you're both right. In the eastern bloc I think the stigma was less and in Singapore there was no stigma that I could tell --maybe some super rich people might have looked down at people in the estates, but I didn't come across them. However, in France for sure there is stigma.

Simulations give you better controllability and better visibility. In other words, you can poke and prod every internal piece of the design in simulation land. In real hardware, not so easy.

That being said, you are far from alone as an FPGA developer in skipping sim and going straight to hardware. Tools like Xilinx's chipscope help with the visibility problem in real hardware too.

I don't think you're up to date on this. The Brazilian government began doing this in January 2004, but then discontinued the practice within a matter of weeks or months. I read several reports that it was initially ordered by a judge in Mato Grosso do Sul but that the government then successfully appealed against the judge's order.

I've visited Brazil with a U.S. passport at least once per year since 2003, most recently in December 2015, and have never been fingerprinted.
What makes no sense to me is why would you cap someone's tax rate when the cause of it going up is their house is worth a shit ton more? They have the financial means to pay it (equity in the house)!

It would make more sense to me to either do nothing and let home owners get a reverse mortgage and use that to pay their tax bill or have the gov't just put a lien on the property and when the next sale happens they get their cut.

It would seem to me that homeowners facing a higher tax bill because their home drastically increased in value should be the last ones you subsidize.

>I don't share the author's enthusiasm that it's "awesome" that "the schema is all backed by arbitrary code" -- I think this is a bad trade-off

Yup, and it also forces you to sacrifice programming language portability. Kind of important in a microservice scenario where you might want to have multiple distinct services written in different languages that support the same set of GraphQL types.

People don't seem to realize that there is a whole separate dedicated schema language for GraphQL that will eventually replace the mediocre embedded DSLs. The only reason the current implementations all use the embedded DSLs is because implementing a parser for the custom schema language is non-trivial.

There are a lot of things that I really like about GraphQL, but I think it would have been saner if they had aimed for a way to express the schemas and queries in something like JSON that everybody already speaks.
If you don't include the 25BTC in the costs, you're pretending that the electric costs of running all the bitcoin miners to 'secure' the chain don't exist.

Bitcoin is a very expensive and inefficient way of transacting.
HTML parsing was actually slightly more uniform across browsers than URL parsing is. So in some ways URL parsing really is much trickier.
The difference is in expectation of return. In retrospect, bitcoin is a great "investment," but looking at the hundreds of other failed cryptocurrencies it's clear that early buyers of bitcoin got extremely lucky.

It's the same as seed stage startup "investing," which is likewise really gambling, and you either have to diversify heavily, get very lucky, or have the ability to influence the outcome yourself to win in the long run.

This is excellent. In fact, the patent office should require arbitration agreements which the patent office would oversee for any patent disputes. Maybe it would be a small step forward over the patent mess that exists now.

Reference counting does not scale to multi-threaded programs well. Keeping reference counts up to date across multiple threads is maddeningly and frightenly hard to do efficiently. By the time you correctly solve the concurrent update problem for essentially every access the program does, you have a very complicated memory management system that incurs overhead on every single operation. Compare that with a GC that imposes overhead (usually) only on writes to objects, not "writes" to the stack or local variables going out of scope. Reference counting also incurs overhead for reading from objects. Empirical studies have shown that reads outnumber writes 10x to 1 usually. Why would you consider it to be just a _bit_ slower?

And of course reference counting pauses. Killing one object (its count dropping to zero) may cause a chain reaction of objects whose reference counts to drop to zero and need to be cleaned up. The difference is that you now suffer work proportional to the _dead_ data of the program. In comparison, a tracing GC does work proportional to the _live_ objects.
I don't understand why I'm being downvoted. I'm not disagreeing!

Certainly there were two different corporations, and certainly the web site was passed from one to the other. But the whois data presented in the post is not evidence of that. You need to look elsewhere for that evidence. That's the only point I was trying to make.
Well, you'd ideally create different VMs for where you want barriers to data leak-age via cookies, history, session- + localstorage, and loading assets/scripts/etc from or making requests cross domain to 3rd parties.

But to your point, even within a given browser/VM/whatever that I intend on using for a single task. I'd still eventually end up slipping up and going to a site that should have been in a different group or logging into something that I wanted in an ephemeral group.

There is a real problem currently with data sharing on the web, where it's pretty much all or nothing. That'll still be true under the scheme you mention, just the goalpost will be moved to within whatever grouping scheme you pick.

It seems there isn't a good way to allow sites to do useful things like ajax to lots of services not on the same domain, while preventing the site provider from sharing your data with people you don't want to have it.

Ad- and tracker- blockers alleviate some of this by preventing certain undesired code from running and thus sharing data. But, user tracking is still possible (and used to actually happen by) using server-side logging and shipping info to 3rd parties.

Ultimately, we are relying on the people or organization behind a site to not share our data.

And, yes the tools could get a bit better with grouping/profiles. But, the vast majority of users won't use these tools. And, even if you use them, you have to be diligent in only opening certain sites in certain "groups" and/or managing which group you are logging into your account in.

So, features like this always will be niche unless there is a revolutionary shift in users' technical ability and attitude towards data protection / privacy.
I'll agree the 12.5BTC reward is pretty high but that's spread out across all the users as a "group cost"

The network basically decides that providing the last 10 minutes worth of processing power is worth 12.5BTC and amount decreases every 4 years so the "group cost" will drop while the "individual cost" will rise.

This is why the "fees are high" issue has come up, Bitcoin just reduced the block subsidy to 12.5BTC as opposed to 25BTC, while in the 50BTC era, transactions were often free of any charges.

Even with all of that, an average user will pay less than the credit card fees charged to the shop so most shops would be wise to accept it, even if only to sell it for USD immediately.

Yes, it is very common to live as a big family together in the same house. Infact it might be considered rare where children do not live with their parents and siblings.

It is a part of a culture than anything else. I think many Asian countries have similar culture. I am from India but live in Dubai and even in middle eastern cultures it is not uncommon to live with parents and other relatives in the same house as a big family.

The biggest issue with Prop 13 is the allowance for commercial properties.

Prop 13 for protecting individual residential property owners on a fixed income from escalating "assessed" property values makes a good deal of sense. Especially in a state like California, if left unchecked, would be raising all sorts of taxes and fees for failed experiments.

(Note - born/raised/ life long Bay Area resident)

Prop 13 needs a revision to exempt commercial property...
