Dispensary style. Public consumption is almost universally outlawed AFAIK.
Speaking of doing research, you might find actually reading the link undercuts your attempt to claim fake news: the second paragraph, for example, makes it clear that the term predates Nazi Germany by almost a century before noting ‘Lügenpresse refers to any medium that does not reflect the user’s own worldview, and must therefore be propagated by a hated “Other”.’.

The reason why I used “neo-Nazi” was that, again as noted in the article and many other sources, the term was avoided for years until various extremist groups started using it. Until Trump supporters started trying to normalize hatred for the media, I only saw it used by people who were also sharing anti-Semitic slurs and cartoons, racist memes, etc.

I'm sure, of course, that you already know the negative implications and were just trying to get a reaction but that doesn't mean there's any value to dragging that particular mess into this thread. There are plenty of corners of the internet where you can scratch that particular itch without polluting a discussion about a website enabling a security feature.
There's a blog I enjoy that covers this sort of issue very frequently. It's interesting to see a hard data approach to explaining some of the municipal funding problems that are brewing nationwide.

Yes, thank you :-)
What a crock. This is an extremely biased presentation meant to prime the reader for the awful right wing plan he's going to unveil in his next blog post. No doubt privatizing the infrastructure to "relieve" the taxpayer of the burden. Never mind that somehow it is still going to have to be paid for and if it's privatized we will have to pay more so the new owner can make a profit.

The reality is cities are insolvent because of decades of tax breaks for businesses and the stagnant wages of the middle class.

Simple answer from a lawyer friend of mine: don't sleep in the driver's seat.
My counterpoint is the simple fact that we're even discussing this. Apple products used to "just work," and now they're a mess.

I've never considered myself a diehard Apple fan, but over the years I've spent thousands and thousands of dollars on Apple products. From a 1 Gb iPad shuffle all the way up to a Retina MBP, and quite a few things in between. I don't need to argue if Apple is going down hill because I'm seeing it first hand while using their products, or, more often lately, choosing not to use their products.
Debian bootstrap from source code
So I texted this link to my mom and told her to read the comments, she's struggled with depression her whole life, as have I, but thought her experience and response might be insightful or interesting to some:
(She's 60, single, of Christian faith, and just got back from a year in Kenya/Madagascar a few months ago. Last year, she quit her stressful job as CFO of a construction company in Cleveland, Ohio and moved to Nirobi to volunteer in an orphanage. After about 7 months the foundation who runs the project heard of her accounting experience, and offered her a volunteer position setting up the financial system for a new clinic in Madagascar being built by the Freedom from Fistula foundation, which she took. She's back in Cleveland now, but still remotely assisting in the payroll and accounting as they transition to local Madagascar permanent employees handling the finances. She just started a new position with a different local Cleveland construction company as she plans/saves for retirement. Her new position is much less stressful, according to her mainly due to the respect and treatment from the owner which she was not afforded from her previous employer)

Her response: [Wow. I didn't read the article either but the comments are really insightful. There is no "right" answer for everyone, but it's reassuring to read that people who are susceptible to depression can acknowledge it, find ways to fight it, and live well in spite of it. I think that's much healthier than looking for a 'cure'. I believe that I will always be the type of person who struggles with depression, but over the years God has given me the coping skills to have a full and joyful life as who He created me to be, not who other people think I should be. Does that make sense?]

Note that I am not advocating nor denouncing a faith based approach here, but as many here have recommended, I think openness to complete lifestyle changes is something to seriously consider for those struggling.

As always, thanks for keeping these discussions civil, insightful and constructive!
We're talking TOP tier world-class employees (director of ML, lead dev of Swift), lots of lost mind share, not just any ordinary of the 33,000 rank and file. The best engineers often make lasting and drastic contributions and even have some say regarding the direction of the company itself.

Data is code and code is data. There's really no difference.
No I'm not confusing them. I'm responding directly to the comment that Chris lattner represents a more measured approach to software development than is tradition in the tech industry.

I don't think Swift stands to gain wide spread traction outside of Apple orientated app development. Aside from a lack of stability, Apple is to well known for boxing its competitors out. I've used and loved their products my entire life and I know how annoying it is to go against Apple's grain.
As an Apple shareholder, this seems like a bunch of vague gripes.

- Apple has missed plenty of ship dates in the past; I refer you to the Saga Of The White iPhone.

- The Watch is selling well (dominating its category), iPhone 7 selling well (same), new MacBook is too early to tell.

- No drive? I wonder how well-informed you are if you think Tim Cook has no drive. He's not a product guy but contrary to popular belief, a CEO does not necessarily need to be.

- FoundationDB? Tuplejump? Turi?

Probably wealthy + dense — I'd guess NYC, SF, Seattle, Chicago are on the list. Not sure what else would get up there.
> Too often it seems like organizations become victims of their own success precisely through this sort of "inbreeding".

This is definitely a concern with organizations like Teach for America, where they are selecting the students with the best grades to teach at schools and eventually be responsible for creating school policy. This sort of selection has the potential to have a huge negative impact on students that are already being poorly served by the system.

With YC it's less of an issue, since it would be hurting YC itself more than the entrepreneurs. E.g. if YC is funding bad startups then it's going to hurt their returns, but if YC doesn't fund your specific startup then it's not going to prevent you from going out and being successful.

I have no doubt that Daniel is going to do an awesome job as partner. But regardless, let's not forget that it's at least 10x if not 100x harder to be a good VC than a good entrepreneur, so don't go too hard on YC. :-)
It would be nice if you could post incoming jobs to the API, and any staff members currently available could accept/decline the jobs (like uber does). Currently it seems like it only handles scheduling availability, not job assignment.

I'm currently building a similar product for a client who manages staff across the country. He gets job leads, then the program needs to (1) identify who is available during the requested time slot, and (2) assign the job to one of the available staff members by texting them sequentially with a timeout asking if they would like to accept/decline the job.

It seems that staffjoy v2 solves (1) and does a good job of keeping track of an availability calendar. I would love to use it for that instead of reinventing the wheel. However, without (2) job assignment, it's a non-starter.

Possibly I could use staffjoy for maintaining the central availability calendar, and then build out the job assignment functionality on top of that. But that causes some usability problems for the staff member who now has two numbers to text.

So, from this, two feature suggestions:

(1) Job assignment functionality (complex, logistics vary by use case)

(2) Ability to send arbitrary messages from the phone number to the user

It seems that (2) would be a simple feature to add and could make integrating staffjoy much easier, because I could fill in the gaps for any missing functionality by building on top of the messaging layer.

Right now, this product is about 50% of what I need, but there's no easy way for me to add the additional 50%.

Who made cash from the IBM PC moment, though? It certainly wasn't IBM.

Why would a privately owned company like Google seek to emulate this behavior?
There are some cities that get around this by requiring HOAs in new subdivisions, and requiring those HOAs to pay for maintenance of much of the infrastructure. The homeowners pay the same property tax they would pay anywhere else in the same city. There are a number of cities in the Sacramento area that have been doing this kind of thing for over a decade now.

That approach brings in another set of problems, but it's worth mentioning.
My guess would be more along the lines of calling for more centralized development and less horizontal expansion?
I don't read Strong Towns much, but I don't think you've read much of the stuff they put out. The blog definitely isn't in favor of mass privatization — that wouldn't help much, since the infrastructure is still crazy expensive and not worth paying for.

The model of development that gets us out of this mess probably is one of much greater density + changes in accounting practices.
I've used typehints to write a compiler but with my own small homegrown annotations and it worked really well. It feels natural coming from languages with similar syntax like rust and the like. Cool integrates well with pycharm too

A local municipality here, Mississauga (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississauga) grew as a typical suburb does, relying on aggressive expansion of low-density housing, with a large portion of that growth being in the 1960-1990 era.

The city pursued an agenda of low taxes by leaning heavily on subsidies paid by large-scale developers directly to the city. This was something very much embodied by the city's long-time mayor McCallion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazel_McCallion) who was something of a titan in her time and governed over the city from 1978 to 2014 with little political opposition.

The idea was that they'd build infrastructure to last 30-40 years and then figure out what to do later. Not surprisingly "later" came around all too soon and they were left scrambling.

The mayor pivoted from producing more sprawl, which just doubles down on the problem, to inviting developers to densify portions of the city, building codos and office towers. Through development fees they'd try and work their way out of a jam without having to massively increase taxes for everyone.

It looks like this strategy has so far worked, but it's not without risk. It's dependent on passing the buck to the typically younger crowd that's buying condos. They're paying for sewer replacements in those older neighborhoods that apparently never paid their fair share in taxes. Who will bail them out when their time comes? Hopefully the increased density makes it more cost-effective to do that.

There's a number of things working in favor of the city, like they're close to Toronto, so the're an ideal commuter hub, plus the regional airport is there, so there's a large buisness hub built out around it. Without that tax base and proximity to another city they'd likely be doomed. Nobody would ever want condos there.

If you're looking for those cities, look for suburbs built near major US cities that can leverage their location. Any that are on their own are ultimately doomed unless they dramatically re-work how they plan their urban layout. Low-density housing will strangle a lot of small cities to death.

Honestly it should be illegal for municipalities to collect less in taxes than they need to maintain their infrastructure in the long haul. They should be factoring in 60-year replacement costs and collecting money towards that in the decades leading up to a major overhaul. A change in the accounting rules to include this sort of depreciation as an expense that must be balanced out with revneue could go one step towards that, factoring in replacement costs and so on.
Well, one is physically impossible while the other is theoretically improbable. So there's that.
Ah, first world problems. Where I am, data connections are out of reach for the vast majority of the population (yet somehow, they all seem to have smartphones - go figger).

I can't say much about mathematics of taxes described in the article, but I always thought that Soviet Union got a lot of it's city planning very much right. Even a small town is built as a relatively tight formation of high-rises, yet leaving plenty of public space and greenery in the middle. The quality of life in the town that I grew up in is super high, because everything one might need: school, hospital, store, swimming pool, park, woods is an easy _walk_ away. The traffic through the town was even disallowed, which opened up a giant traffic-free area for us to play around as kids and elderly to use for socializing and to run their errands. For ease of visualizing here's an aerial photo of said town in early 00s: http://i.imgur.com/sj9t3Jy.jpg

The idea of an audio-only social network got me clicking. I was imagining something music-based. But, IMHO, having read about it on your site, I am much less interested.
I think you may have misread the article; it seemed to me that blame was placed much more on political incentives to encourage outward, sparse suburban growth. The kind of growth which incurs enormously more infrastructure cost per capita. Not on accounting practices.
>Anyway, I've been programming games and game engines for several decades, and coroutines are always in the list of things that you can throw in the junk pile along with other cool things like continuations, various theoretical data structures, fancy dispatch mechanisms, events/signals, application-wide functional purity, etc.

This is one of the worst outlooks on programming I've ever seen. Did you know that any control flow operator such as try/catch is really an application of continuations?

Not parent, but I think I can help clarify. As goofy as it can sound: "being depressed" or in a "depressive state" can have many causes and some of them are obvious, but those states are not the disease of depression, exactly. They are serious, of course, and can be life threatening in their own right. But the distinction here is that depression can act like any other disease or illness - like, would making more friends improve tuberculosis? Too often we treat depression as a puzzle that can be solved. But it can just be something a person "has" and is stuck with, and needs medical treatment for.
Is it still the same way now?
There are equivalents in smartphones. MIPI standards like D-PHY and C-PHY and DSI and CSI on top of those ensure compatibility of cameras and displays in a way there is significant competition among suppliers there, and wide range of options for handset makers. JEDEC similarly does so for DRAM and Flash. Unlike the IBM PC era, the mechanical interfaces aren't standardized due to the desire for deeper physical integration for miniaturization, but the electrical interfaces and protocols still are.
Show HN: Faceclash, a totally modernized version of Mark Zuckerberg's Facemash
I worked on this for about a month during October last year. It was a project to get to know Ajax and SQL a bit better. It was also an experiment with the Elo rating system. The site was up for only one night, but received 18,000 votes and 730 unique visitors. It's open-source on GitHub now at https://github.com/ifvictr/faceclash. Hopefully someone else will use it and learn a thing or two from it, and run a copy of it. Hopefully it'll be enough to push them to achieve even greater things. :)

City governments are parasitised by three groups. One is the body professional politicians that manage to get elected.The second is the construction companies they use to build/repair their infrastructure The other is the work force they employ.
All three arrange matters so they get twice as much money on average as the voters that pay their wages/
The politicians do it by simple theft by vote. They vote themselves large salaries/
The civil serpents form unions and strike and strike and get 3-5 year contracts with cost of living allowances (COLAS) AND 1 to 3% wage increase, for that 3-5 years.
The politicians pay it - to buy peace at the expense of the taxpayers. The construction companies are similarly unionised and do somewhat the same.

Compare the wages of the average city employee with the average non union tax payer.

Now you see why this insoluble problem has emerged over the past 30 years or so.

One year contracts. No signing bonus AT ALL (why reward strikers), so a one month strike costs ~~8% of your annual wage, 2 months ~~17% etc.

Why should these people get more than the tax payers? They are not more skilled.

They are in power or in the union.

Look at how much teachers wages have made books and equipment a vanishingly small % of their budget and how much they force the taxpayers to pay them.

These factors wrecked Detroit. They will wreck Chicago and all other cities as union wage and pension demands take so much money that people move away.
Newark died this way years ago.

Maybe, but urban densification is a very left wing thing.
1. Is not a justification, it's a motivation / intuition. It proves little since only the first visual layer (there are 6 visual cortex layers) does convolution-esque things.

2. Justifies convolution over fully-connected. It does not justify convolution in the first place.

None of these justify ReLU, max pooling, batch norm.

For example, Geoffrey Hinton (probably out of all deep learning researchers the most neuroscience motivated) actually believes max-pooling is terrible, the brain doesn't do it, and it's a shame that it actually works.
