Having lived in Berlin, which is mostly 5-6 story buildings, I think there's a real sweet spot at this height, perhaps a bit higher if people want larger apartments. This puts enough people in a small area that having good transit, including subways, makes economic sense, and all of the daily essentials are within a block or two. Going higher means you need bigger spacing between buildings in order for the lower floors to get any sunlight, especially in the winter. Bigger spacing between buildings creates a sense of disconnectednes between buildings. At 5-6 stories, you do need fairly wide streets. If you do them like Berlin, you allocate a lot of that width to sidewalks, which are then wide enough for the retail to spill out onto the streets with outdoor displays and sidewalk seating for cafes and bars. It also gives you plenty of room on the sidewalk for other infrastructure like subway stops with adequate width stairwells, bus stops, bike sharing stations, etc. It's also fairly easy to work on underground infrastructure without huge disruption because it runs near the street but under the sidewalk, so normally working on it just means closing off part of the sidewalk. The streets aren't so wide though that they create this cut-off feeling, everything feels continuous.

Wow! Thank you for sharing all this information. I love it how people here are so transparent about their process and revenue.
>They're pushing stuff that the consumer doesn't want (thinner/less battery volume, no headphone jack) in order to make money.

But how do you know that people don't want this? All the people who told me they were switching to Android because of the headphone jack ended up with iPhone 7s anyways and love them. And now it seems that Samsung's next phone is going to ditch the jack too. Not to mention the numbers aren't really in favor of suggesting this change is hugely unpopular.
Nowadays an Ad Server can call another one and so one, due to programmatic. So you might have one Ad server enforcing and serving their tags in HTTPS, but in the end the little local Ad Server which is part of a bigger network doesn't have the HTTPS and so his material isn't delivered.

with a little bit of tweaking you can run desktop apps in containers. check out Jessie Frazelle's dockerfiles: https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles

edit: to answer your question: you'll probably encounter bugs and glitches, as the hardware may not be fully supported. i've heard of issues with wifi, bluetooth, power management, etc.
> For me the project died when Google decided it wasn't worth it to support it any longer in Chrome and Angular team decided to use TypeScript instead.

For me too. I have spent 3-4 hours looking through the samples etc. But even with TypeScript being so popular, it's hard to find quick samples for tasks one wants to do. So investing in one more new language didn't seem that attractive.

If your quality of life is determined solely by walkability, then sure, you'd consider it "high". In the USSR things were walkable out of necessity: not everyone had cars. And besides, if you're building a block of high rises (stuffed with tiny 650sqft apartments, for the proletariat) and estimate there will be 1K kids, you might as well build a school, a drug store and a grocery store in the middle. Swimming pool within a walking distance was a rather extravagant luxury, not everyone had that. Shit, I hadn't even seen a real swimming pool until I started college. Woods, sure, that's kinda nice.

My point being, you make it sound like every town in the USSR was like that whereas in reality what you're describing sounds like a "unicorn" situation that was rarely encountered in reality. Walkability was about the only thing Soviet urban planning had going for it. Ironically, these days I live in US suburbia within walking distance of a pool, elementary/middle/high school, and a convenience store. And woods too: we pretty regularly see deer in our back yard.

Lafayette is my hometown. The article says this isn't a cultural issue, but when a majority of cities shares the problem, that speaks to a national culture of scarcity. The desire for growth stemming from feeling there isn't enough to do, land to build on, people living there, etc. was definitely prominent in Lafayette. It's that shared mindset driving this phenomenon.
On the contrary I'd say. When you're talking about low level (and basic CS101 details like 2's complement) I think it makes sense to be lucid rather than "needlessly complicated short" code that does too much in a single line.
The problem is, since nobody budgeted for this rare but predictable replacement, there is no money for it. This is why even long replacements have to be budgeted annually. They may be cheaper, but they silk exists. It is always somebody else's problem, but then it sucks to be that person.

Who are you replying to here?
Why should I, J. Random Reader, look at the game genre most notorious for putting people in a frustrated emotional state and care about that game administrators' attempts to enforce good vibes through social control without ever touching the fundamental mechanics of their anger-generator?

It's easy to focus on someone that uniquely makes it their thing to be purposefully annoying. Certainly easier than to employ systems thinking about why players are pushed into states conductive to being upset by others, or wanting to upset others. So ban with an iron fist. Or don't ban. Whatever. It's not really relevant to me until they start crafting new and more terrifying tools of social manipulation to envelope the one they refuse to touch because it's their cash cow.

I don't mean to single out Polygon. They, like any outlet trying to profit from covering games, seems unable to move past the myopic coverage that refuses to admit "toxic" "shitlords" are an emergent phenomenon of life (as we currently know it). They seem hell bent on never looking at what it means for societies to have such large chunks of their population engage with software explicitly designed for emotional impact. Some of which knowingly and willfully employ techniques of physiological manipulation.

Games press is visibly scrambling for meaning beyond toy purchase advice. That service is becoming available from more sources than ever. The editors are getting older on average and looking for more substance out of their life's work. This kind of coverage has the potential for an editorial voice unique to game coverage, instead of being hangers-on that poorly cover widespread social politics in an embarrassingly transparent attempt for relevance.

Instead of any of that, I got to read the hot take "maybe this guy does more damage banned than unbanned." So I'll reiterate my question: Am I supposed to care?
I also have home WiFi / lan issues.

I have a Plusnet 2704n router connected by cable to two other rooms with poor wifi signal. The wifi on the router is switched off.

In the two other rooms there is are two TP-LINK TL-WA801ND used to create access points - these run on different channels and have static IP addresses.

On to the problem. Sometimes the internet connection slows to an incredibly poor speed - simple pages fail to load. This occurs with no apparent increase in load (based on the traffic graphs on the access points).

I've not done any setup beyond what's described here.

I have a suspicion that the hub is unable to handle the number of total connected devices (as much as 10) as it sometimes fails to list wired devices on the settings page.

Any ideas on things I might try or buy? I'm aware the 2704n router is pretty basic but I'd still like to work out what the issue is before replacing it.
Which means one will see them replaced during their lifetime and grandkids paying for it.

Yes, it seems that YC is becoming full of optimists. People who likely have a severe personal bias towards believing that "it always works out in the end".

This attitude is difficult to keep as you get older and you learn about reality.

Obviously when times are good, you want to be lead by optimists who will take bigger risks.

Can't I use a regular consumer router but hook up a computer on the LAN to do something? Intercept DNS? Intercept HTTP requests like you said? But the problem is what if the user makes https requests?

All I want to do is make a system which "takes attendance" via the phones automatically trying to join the local network, and I use the session is to look up the user. People would have accounts where they log in once via the captive portal and then the attendance would happen automatically.

Basically I want to make a captive portal with regular routers so I can sell the solution to regular venues.

How do these guys do it:

Am I missing something? What is the Medium post author's value add- it's just a recap of the original presentation. It says "deep dive" but it's just copied slides.

The original talk by Frank Chen was already excellent.
I do think the market is a very useful tool and that some things are over-regulated and some are under-regulated. But I don't understand your point: All regulations are bad? Everything is too regulated? I know these ideas are trendy, but they don't really mean anything or inform us. As I asked before:

In what ways are they too regulated, and in what ways not regulated enough? ... How much regulation is just right?

Without answers to those questions, we have nothing serious to act on.

> By enacting laws, you create a very rigid situation

A general statement, but laws can change. Laws often are written to create flexibility, delegating authority to regulatory commissions. Markets can be very rigid; look that the market power of Windows, whose dominance has lasted longer than most politicians' careers. When is the last time the market allowed in a new car manufacturer (Tesla hasn't yet survived infancy, and if it does it will be the only exception in (80?) years). How long does it take to change a web standard in the 'free' market? If they were government regulations, they could be changed like analog to digital TV or the reallocation of spectrum. I thought Europe's regulated, universal GSM was better than the U.S.'s 'market' solution of competing technologies.

Also, laws allocate power democratically to all citizens. The 'market' allocates it to those with the most money.

> Planning commissions, or even city councils, have just a few people with their own ideas of "how things should be".

I disagree; they are creations of and responsive to the democratic process. The market, on the other hand, is responsive to a few people with the most money; most citizens have no say. I don't want my community run by the wealthy, with 99% of citizens living like subjects under an aristocracy.

> In terms of how they're too regulated, sure: ...

I don't see a few op-eds as evidence; I have no doubt there are enough people who believe it that op-eds could be supplied daily. If you are correct about SF Bay Area (I don't know), it is an example of something that is over-regulated in some way, not evidence that the everything is over-regulated (again, could you really be saying that?).

I have a feeling a lot of people here are going to scoff at this news, because they think politics should be left to someone "better".

We live in a country where people like Mitch McConnell, Jason Chaffetz, Jim Inhofe, and Trump are political leaders.

At this point, anything is better. I hope more people in our community will volunteer themselves to the work.

I use this app which used to be $5 but is now free - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mindfulness-app-meditation/i...

Apparently they too switched to a freemium subscription model. Having subscription models for meditation apps is like having a subscription model for a music service with 20 albums. I get that there's the whole tracking aspect of it but that's hardly interesting enough and there's not enough demand for new content to make sense to rent monthly. Clearly I'm in the minority because Headspace is hiring in Santa Monica and SF now.

I'll say this, if Converse changes to a subscription model for chucks there's gonna be trouble...
>In particular, since our hands can show "10" the natural base this would imply is base _11_ and not 10.

I'd disagree. Having base 10 allows us to easily imagine 60 as 6 people worth of fingers.
Both are intertwined. When there is not enough money, pension funds tend to take a hit. Population will move to greener pastures.

The bankruptcies are not happening, because a lot of the infrastructure can withstand 50 or a bunch more years. It has been built in say 50s - 70s so never had to be completely overhauled.

In EU, the problems with replacing infrastructure built in 1940s have already hit a few times, but it was better planned after the war.
There's no such thing as an unperverted free market, and even if such a thing existed, it would be a horror.

I really wish there was more understanding that economic theory is essentially political, that markets are about political power relationships, not about goods and services, and that there's always a government of some kind as a central enforcer behind every market - and it probably isn't truly democratically accountable, no matter how often people get to vote.

Monopolies and cartels that treat customers with arrogance and contempt are the inevitable, predictable products of competitive market capitalism.

And antitrust is a political weapon, not a moral or economic one. Google will not be hit with antitrust action unless it makes some political missteps. I expect that for now, it's far more useful to keep Google intact.

There's no doubt for me that 2016 was the year where Go started to pick up far more traction than it ever had before, but it's not clear to me why. There is no major stand-out feature in the 1.7 release that suddenly makes it a killer language, and there are no major applications you can point to that emerged in 2016 and think "well, there you go". Ruby's rise was coupled with Rails, Go's rise seems to be a simple desire to build scalable concurrent applications.

Google's language also got second place with Dart, which I find interesting: the fact it's being used for the next generation of AdWords at Google suggests that it has serious buy-in inside those walls, and could be one to watch.
How do you move around in these neighborhoods? Take a daily stroll on foot for a few hours? It does not work when you want to do anything big, say a few thousand people in approximately the same place. Those people have to get to this place, which would require efficient mass transit. The large area makes both road and fuel costs go up.

I was actually just looking for something like this the other day because I'm forced to use actual JS like a json config, so it can use Require to import XML data and sprite sheet location right into a config my application loads. Problem with all the other formatters is they made everything on new lines, which would take up a giant amount of space.

Would be cool to have this as a little website to try out, too.

When iOS cannot fetch the fixed content of www.thinkdifferent.*, a UIWebView pops and displays that content, assuming it's a captive portal needing attention.

Instead, there should be some non-routable, local-only special IPv4/IPv6 address that all captive portals are required to present.

No more DNS spoofing, no more page rewriting which breaks the web.
I'm not sure why so many people seem to think that I'm implying anything about HTTP. "onion" would be fine as a URI scheme I think. Different programs would interpret it differently, which is obviously bad, and using a special-use domain name lets it slot seamlessly into the usual URI system as just a different sort of host specifier, which is obviously better, lacking something like nested URIs (http://www.it.uc3m.es/muruenya/papers/nested_uris_euromicro0...), which never became a thing.

Android detects wifi with captive portals automatically and pops-up a notification that says "Wifi network requires sign-in". Clicking on that takes you to non-HTTPS page in a browser that is intended to be intercepted.

There is no reason why Apple can't add captive portal detection at OS level like Android does.

Interesting list of only Republicans you have there.

They're not heartless monsters. They have constituencies that they serve as well as pander to. They care about those people. They just have a different worldview than you.

I'm not a fan of theirs any more than I am of Zuckerberg and his propensity to buy up and lockdown whatever he can control. He's shown time and time again that little people (whether users or devs) don't really matter. Why would he be a different politician?

Those politicians may be flawed, but there is an advantage in having competing centers of power.
> I think cities would enjoy a nice efficiency boost from the decentralized, organic growth of a less bureaucratically-planned city (plus fewer budget problems).

Consider the infrastructure costs in the article: Less centralized, less planned cities would, I expect, create higher infrastructure costs as efficiencies of scale, standardization, reduced redundancy, and planning would be lost. Also, different parts of the city would try to dump costs on each other.

As I asked in another comment:

In what ways are they too regulated, and in what ways not regulated enough? ... How much regulation is just right? And: To which cities are you referring? What kinds of cities?

It's too easy to say, 'there's too much regulation'; it's cliche and doesn't really mean anything.
Yeah, no. I know that us 'computer people' like to think that it's different but it's not. Anything you do digitally leaves traces. Sure, 'if done properly' (like if you're some sort of Mission Impossible or CSI: Cyber style 'hack god'), anything is possible. But that's the same for physical break ins - if you do it 'properly' you can frame someone else, too. No sure why you think the 'associate' scenario would be different between digital and physical either; why would a computer tech not 'roll on you'?

This discussion is in the context of evidence. People are insinuation that somehow digital crime is different because you can't 'prove' one thing or the other, because anything could be faked (that's the gist of the argument). My point is that this is vastly ignorant of the hundreds of years of experience dealing with such uncertainty in the judicial system. Sure, it's not statistics and it's not 'logic' the same way 'we' (i.e., quantitatively, closed-system oriented people) interpret those terms, but that doesn't mean we're now somehow in a completely different world. Put differently, the STEM mindset doesn't have a monopoly on 'the truth', as much as we like to think we do.
