Urban doesn't include just multifamily units. I live in a single family home in Seattle. So do tens of thousands of others. Ditto for San Francisco and many other cities.

Multifamily units are also growing. The data only goes back 15 years but they're bigger now. Check page 448:

I guess it's only natural. I don't expect non-technical people to make the same technical choices I do, nor can I recommend them to the general population.

I suspect that it's the same with doctors, but their field happens to be the workings of disease and their treatments.
I like the functionality of

Typescript seems to get a lot more attention (at least on HN). How does Flow progress? How is the community around it? I'm curious to know more as an external to both projects.

We have a Beam. We put a staff shirt on it just to humanize it a bit and it worked pretty well. From a distance you can't really tell if it's a robot or a dispenser. Our Beam is 2 pedestals with a screen and camera. Our sanitizer dispenser is 2 pedestals with a head full of sanitizer gel. If you put them next to each other you have a 50% chance someone would stick their hand under the Beam camera expecting gel to come out.
Go read up on the whole Number-Of-The-Beast thing and mix that with a heavily Christian-influenced view of politics (which is there, even in the politics of not-particularly Christian people). We are talking about a country where some people view having a Social Security Number as a Very Bad Thing. Don't even get me started on the Hillbama-gunna-take-er-gerns crowd. They'll be blaming Obama for whatever well into the next decade.

We are a majorly paranoid society, for no particular good specific reason that I can see.
This is a big deal for RDF-based systems because you could merge, intersect, and subtract sets of facts quite efficiently this way.
Solid list of common pitfalls! Since beginning my new job I have been trying to put my finger on what is wrong at my new company. Disengaged developers, disorganized QAs. No one owns anything so issues just fly by us. Lots of resources spent trying to automate regression testing, but we've tried 3 times now and basically have 3 failed frameworks. Our PMO made a conscious descision to switch from following check-ins to following issues/bugs. Now we have a product that is maybe 80% finished and all deficiencies are being tracked as bugs. The project has grown to encompass about 1/2 of all engineering resources.

But we're just walking through the fire.

When they first came through HN, there was an option for a one-off request conducted by text with a feee attached to it. It may even have been the only option, I'm not sure. I don't see it listed anymore.

I get the sense that they wanted to be a contract personal assistant and did the one-off thing to expose people to the service. Certainly it was a bit awkward since it required spending a bunch of time getting them set up with your info.

Unfortunately companies can't make a sustainable business around people like you. If they were to double the price, then they are going toe to toe with the features and infrastructure behind the Apple Watch, and that's an area they just can't compete in at their size.
Reddit being a cesspool due to anonymity and its established userbase is its DNA. A service like you describe wouldn't be a bad idea, but it wouldn't be Reddit.
It really depends on your price tolerance and features you want. Pricing really wasn't an issue for me, and my activities are all across the board from running to biking to swimming to weight lifting, etc. - so I went with a Fenix3 HR.

I'm still stunned how much better the battery life is given the features it has. And the built-in GPS is SO NICE - but then again you'd kind of expect that from Garmin.

New Moneyspire 2017 mobile app-Improved UI helps you stay on top of your money
I can't find the documentation now, but had a similar problem with ASP.NET's Master Page. The example of using data binding to dynamically adjust the menus had the binding go to a backing Page instance. That seemed logical. Unfortunately after about 200 visits to the site, the whole thing fell over. Turns out master pages hold a reference to the backing page even once the whole page is rendered. This caused them to stack up in memory. The fix was to use a static method to provided the data. It was in a user note at the bottom of the page.

I tried (wasted my time?) putting my rich resume in JSON Resume, and it didn't work for me. The development of the project is way too slow for its simplicity.

For example, you can't add projects to a job; you can't assign skills to a project or a job. For people who did consulting, this is a must, but not available. There are many other issues, but those are, for me at least, the road blocks.
The post where they describe what they're doing sure makes it look like that. From what was described, this is a massive refactoring and recalculation effort to pay down years of accumulated technical debt. Occam's Razor is probably good enough: they had tons of complicated rules in the system that goobered up their calculations, and they needed to get the large amount of ineffectual cruft out at some point.

There's even a clear note that the /top stuff should go back to normal after the recalc is finished and it's back up to speed.

Frankly, I was a bit shocked by the scope of it. Seems like a huge and terrifying update.
Feels like Typescript is building (or has built up?) more momentum than Flow.
It's kind of a big claim, that the most important thing that people got from Thiel Fellowship was the network. If that's really and truly the case, then how is this different from the universities of old?

I don't mean that as a challenge. I really do mean to pick it apart. You can argue that this one is more meritocratic. It's also blatantly clear that it had an admissions committee of one.

Edit: And as someone else pointed out, you don't get the hard skills training that you get in university.
At best, it's off-topic.

I think it's reasonable to assume insurance companies will defend a doctor whose conduct is based on solid evidence or law. Are their rules not aligned with current medical practice?

Some of the most interesting commentary on reddit are buried at -5 votes because almost all voting is an emotional reaction or treated as a "disagree/agree" button. I think its bad enough as-is. I don't want to see reddit build out a 'safe space' for me by analyzing my views and what subs I visit. If anything, I really want to see the threshold for when comments are collapsed to be much higher than -5, which seems easily gamed and way too quickly drowned out by knee-jerk disagree voters.

I wish these sites would move towards a slashdot-style moderation where your vote needs to be justified. Like "funny," "controversial," "insightful," "well sourced," or "poorly sourced," etc. Then you can adjust your algorithm as needed to promote quality comments, even if they go against the grain. Or users can tweak their own prefences like having a tick box or drag-n-drop to prefer 'insightful' over 'funny', for example. Or 'well sourced' over 'insightful.'

Sadly, social networks, forums, etc probably are highly disincentivized to do this as they assume we all just want tailored content. Or that if there isn't enough tailoring then users will just jump to the competition. I think most people can be okay with contradicting or some low effort, but still, insightful commentary. Perhaps we're overly coddling each other.
The guidelines aren't there to help you get upvotes. Moreover, it says nothing about how / why to downvote, much less encourage people to do so. The fact that it's ok to downvote when disagreeing is something that pg once wrote in a comment (don't have the link).
I think it is meant as not cost effective, as governments are usually very wasteful in redistributing resources.
You have to think who says a 15 year old can't do Advanced Physics, Run a Corporation, Perform Some Surgery. There are definitely works for which hours of experience are necessary, but for most of the things we do today perhaps age is really not a factor.
It would be interesting if instead of just up and down arrows, you could tag posts as "insightful", "funny", or "inspiring". Too often, the up votes are used for things that are funny, and throwaway one liners and memes dominate all the popular subreddits. I would love to support by insightful and get discussions similar to HN.

Ha. Neat.
Usability people once came up with a brilliant observation about "spatial" and someone used that to argue that everytime you clicked on a folder in Gnome it should open in a new window.

Of course this made desktop a mess.

Many usability people also claim that it is good to have the menus attached to the top of the screen instead of attached to the window it affects.

Software recommended by usability people often have menus hidden away behind "gear" or "hamburger" icons.

I am not a usability expert but often I feel software is worse off after the ux people have had a say.

In particular it seems for many of them the goal is to mimic Mac OS X.
I absolutely fucking love Reddit's lack of "personalised content discovery". The equivalent in any other platform is awful.
You are not alone with that frustration, in a broad sense: Team X has product with great potential, expert wants to make it better, Team X just wants to figure it out themselves...

I have come to the life conclusion that owning your own thing is the ultimate path for anyone who wants to fully realize their expert vision. That's what motivates me to do my startup.

I don't think Typescript has ever not been bigger, but could be wrong here.
In 1984 I was a PC instructor at a large paper company and I was called up to the 23rd floor to fix a senior vice president's PC. He stood there while I worked on it. It would not power up. I looked around the back of the desk and the PC was unplugged.
I then carefully took off the case cover and removed all the cards and cleaned the contacts and put them back in. I assembled the PC, plugged it in and it booted.
I did not want to tell a senior VP that his PC wasn't working because he didn't check to see if it was plugged in.
If the users Spez trolled with his edits decided to leave reddit forever, it would only make reddit a better place.

All tech debt need not be paid back in full - thinking otherwise is indeed a fallacy like you point out.

The catch here though is the fact that rate of business value production is inversely proportional to amount of tech debt. Meaning a ton of yes's today will mean a grinding halt in a couple of years. I have worked on too many (very successful) teams now and watched many others that have gotten themselves into this situation.

After this point, you end in a place where tech debt repayment efforts can take years - but it also coincides with 4-5 year mark when original developers are tired and leave. End product - a giant legacy system operated by a ton of new folk who have no clue what's up. End result: This gets 'deprecated' and replaced by a brand new one.

Ideally I do think data is gold but code needs to be incrementally ripped out and replaced every 3-5 years or so. Else entropy is too crippling on the system.
I'll have to remember that "playing scales" analogy.

A year ago I was trying to level up my writing ability and wrote a medium-length article, with proper outlining, attempting to explain an abstract idea through concrete examples (mostly business related).

I sent it to one friend and was told "this is too intellectual, it contains no useful information, no-one will want to read it". No response to the actual subject matter.[1]

I was floored. I didn't want to be the stereotypical writer who gets defensive in the face of criticism, but my friend was so dismissive and patronising that it was hard to maintain my motivation. To rub salt in the wound they later told me "look, you just have to get used to harsh feedback".

[1] (Another friend read it and had some criticisms, but did actually engage with the argument I was making).
That's a new one on me, too. I'm not sure I would have caught it.

One useful trick is right-clicking first, which shouldn't trigger the link and will be very different on an outbound link than a blank webpage or desktop.

Of course, mobile is where I get the most trouble from this - I don't have any hotkeys, and real page-loading is so bouncy and unpredictable that it's particularly easy to get caught by a fake top bar. It's made even worse by things that scroll away the top bar as you move down page, and then bring back a fake one.
These night vision glasses don't exist and the use of the phrase 'allow direct vision' is misleading seeing as they're using high powered lasers to see the blue shift. This lab has only made a nanocrystal that might enable this technology one day.

The fact that everyone in the linked video is wearing funny looking green glasses is misleading, those are just safety glasses.

These types of news blips are depressingly common in developmental science. I can guarantee they're just looking to secure more funding.
I think it's kind of like CG in movies. Most people don't notice good CG, they only notice bad CG, so they tend to think "all CG is bad".

I've found that I only notice "echo-chamber inducing" algorithms, while I'm sure I don't even notice good algorithms.
My experience has been that the additional step of searching for the headline isn't necessary for publications that implement an "X free articles a month" policy, since they don't make any exception for search results in any case.
Python Object Graphs – objgraph
There's a need for in-sub filtering too for non too specific subs. It's said to be possible with the Reddit Enhanced Suite thing ? but I never used it. I just echo what people say.

Sure for very narrow subs, with adequate moderation manpower, the filtering can be done this way.
So something along the lines of... a new tab on the homepage, "You Might Like: posts upvoted by people who tend to vote like you"?

That is: compute a "similarity score" between each pair of users, higher for each post they both voted on the same way, and lower for when they voted oppositely; then, when computing the ordering for the "You Might Like" page, multiply each vote on the posts by the voter's similarity to the viewer, instead of counting each voter equally.

Or something like that - I'm just a layman tossing ideas around, no doubt there's more rigorous and/or performant statistical methods out there.
Just for reference, here is a video of the mention Boston Dynamics robot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b4ZZQkcNEo

I suppose if you view college solely as a means to an end (success), then sure; however, a liberal education has value in and of itself.

But I suppose the above thinking is what we get when we make college a prerequisite for secure employment. People go to college to be successful. If you're already successful, what could you possibly learn at a college?

I want to say the self-centered egoism of believing that there is nothing you could gain from attending a place of higher learning is shocking. But it's not. Not here.
It depends on the quality of the content. Be more specific what kind of technical video you watch.
There is a difference between limiting a mod tool and code that stops a subreddit's post from getting to the front page.

The former is what I referenced, the latter is what I was asking a source for.
No because "down" doesn't mean "disagree" -- down votes cause comments to sort lower and negative amounts will gray out the comment. "Flag" kills the comment if deemed by moderators as inappropriate.

In this proposal, "disagree" and "agree" are both the same as "up".
The people who's "trust" was broken are paranoid conspiracy-mongers who are provably nasty actors who use any opportunity to spread anti-establishment vitriol.

Their paranoia is not justified, not to the extent of the conspiracy that they so routinely engage in.

In regards to the warrant canary, well, that is kind of how that works.
> anonymity -- real anonymity -- tends to let you see peoples' real dark opinions

No, it lets you see a narrow slice of people's real, dark opinions. There are a whole host of opinions you'll never see on Voat because the user base is antagonistic to the basic ideas which underpin them, so there's no point in trying to express them on that platform. For example, the notion that men are psychologically torturing women just by enacting common male body movement patterns in the workplace would never see the light of day on Voat. That's dark. It's my real opinion.

There's no such thing as a "bastion of free speech". One person's safe space is another person's hell of antagonism.
Serious question- Do you think there's room for a new discussion site which embraced all these lessons that other discussion sites seem to perpetually be ignoring (perhaps due to simple entrenchment)?

Because I have oft floated the idea of starting just such a site.

Anyway, I somehow (as an avid Reddit user) missed the news that they lost their warrant canary (probably because I unsubbed from almost all the default subs due to low signal/noise ratio): https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/4ct1kz/reddit_de...
