You don't need an [overall] "drop" in prices. You need housing prices within a broader range. The other problem is Prop 13, which freezes taxes for the current homeowner, thereby incentivizing the fight against new development. Forget that I mentioned Prop 13 for a second and just imagine cities in the Bay moving mountains (or rather, single-story/use retail) to incentivize the construction of four times as much housing at all price ranges. There is a reason a place like Atlanta is affordable - they build.

How we build is another topic but just focusing on underutilized properties and getting permissions and rights out of the way faster would make a huge difference in the cost - to - build. I come on HN to talk this a lot because I am a developer turned developer and if housing where as easy to build as software...you could drive a bus and not have to sleep in it.

They (Verizon, Sprint) already have, but they still use CDMA in outlying areas and for voice service. (Verizon, especially, is known for having the best rural service, at least in the rural areas near where I live.) Verizon does use SIM cards for LTE; I'm not sure about Spring but I'm guessing they do as well.

Both still have the CDMA-carrier mindset of wanting only "their" devices on their networks. In the past they would not (usually?) activate a phone not sold by them even if could work, but I feel like I've heard of people using unlocked devices with Verizon, but it could just be iPhones.

Generally I agree that it's just not worth it to release projects and code that are unfinished or not very useful but there's often gems inside these things.

How many of us have struggled with something complicated and found some golden function or bit of code hidden inside some otherwise useless project that solves the problem? Even if you don't use such code it can still be incredibly useful for understanding how things work.

I often rip out the useful bits of unfinished/unreleased projects and just paste them to gist.github.com. Some of them have received comments like, "I don't know where this came from but it's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!"

Posting your whole useless project can be helpful.

Here's the problem: As a developer Electron (see http://electron.atom.io/ ) is more attractive to me than Windows APIs. Take a look at the RSS Reader ( https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-appsample-rssreader ). I can make a desktop app that is practically indistinguishable from this app using Electron, so why would I use Windows APIs? If I use Electron then my app will run on Mac and Linux, not just Windows, and my skills will be portable too.

The Flat UI of Windows is a mistake. Because of Flat UI, there is no differentiation between Web apps and native Windows apps, which makes it possible--and even desirable--to make desktop apps using Web technologies.

What you get with each company varies from city to city so it is hard to know exactly what your experience will be with Lyft, especially if they are just starting out in your area as drivers might be a little harder to find at first.

On top of this, there isn't really much one company does that the other doesn't. Lyft line in SF is great, but I believe Uber has something similar there so it's not very unique.

That said, the biggest reasons I would support Lyft are:

1. Lyft doesn't appear to be run by immoral people. One of the reasons I would be hesitant to work at Uber and don't want Uber to monopolize the industry is that they have shown that they are willing to do shady things that hurt others to achieve their goals. I would hate to see another Comcast come to power where we are all stuck with them despite hating them. Right now Uber gets away with not being hated mostly because people paint taxi companies as even worse, but if those go away I wouldn't be shocked if Uber suddenly doesn't look like the saviour we thought it was.

2. Having competition and alternatives helps you as a consumer. If drivers find a way to game the Uber surge pricing (I read about this happening but I'm unclear how true it is) to cause fake surges then having other options for a ride means you aren't stuck paying 3x the normal fare because all the drivers shut off their Uber apps to drive up surge pricing.

You may not choose Lyft over Uber every time. You might not even choose Lyft for your next 10 rides as finding drivers in a new city may be tricky, but I would at least suggest you install both apps and give Lyft a try.
It's almost as if it's like a drug or gambling when the rational choice is not what people make.

While it's easy to dismiss such a statement ("Taxation is theft") as rather vacuous reframing of an act in moralizing language, I actually do appreciate the point of view and believe it is an important one.

The question of how, that is by what process, can an act be considered intuitively vile when performed by an individual and yet good and indeed natural when performed by that particular corporation we call the government, nags incessantly at my mind.

Is it a function of group size? Where does the phase transition occur? Or is it a discontinuous process and possible only when we've sublimated from mere mortals into the holy categories of "sovereignty" and "legitimacy?" Oh sure, the replies to your comment are full of the old "argumentum ad pragmaticum" (excuse the poor latin), but their emotional volatility reveals it is anything but pragmatism driving their convictions. There's some deep, primal, psycho-spiritual shit going on here!

So yes, while I would not count myself amongst their ranks, I really do sympathize with the anarchists, but I've got to ask you: What did you hope to achieve with this comment? Do you really think you are going to change anyone's mind here?

P.S.

More questions for you!

Given the putative measures the government would levy against coinbase should they refuse to cooperate, do you _really_ think that they are acting immorally? Why should _they_ have the moral obligation to put themselves and their business at risk because of something being done to them against their wishes?

>Are you seriously implying that landing a rocket is an unprecedented step in that direction?
>Do you think something like this would have been impossible if people had set their minds to do it, in the 60.

It would have been impossible. They just didnt have the materials science to build lightweight engines, fuel tanks, landing legs and such. The computers needed to control the rocket would have been the size of a large building and have to be on the rocket to be responsive enough. Remote control wouldn't have been an option. Also GPS didn't exist and no contemporary positioning technology light enough was up to the precision required.

The 90s is another matter. The DC-X was pretty much a direct ancestor of the SpaceX and Blue Origin plans. Still, it would have required a manual or remote control landing, which would be horribly inefficient compared to an entirely computer controlled 'suicide burn' landing. Even so there's a world of difference between being able to do something and actually doing it.

Last night my wife took me out to dinner and a raunchy hilarious burlesque show for my birthday. We've been married 14 years. The evening was wonderful. We decided to stay out a little longer and had a disagreement over something I really don't know how it got this big but turned into an argument in the parking lot that could have ended with a short ride home and make up sex but since the car wouldn't start it turned into a really bad argument while we waited over an hour for roadside assistance to get there and jump start the car.

This morning she rolled over and told me to fuck her and we had passionate intimate sex and it's like nothing happened but we're still both a little hurt but won't say anything about it until the argument boils over again and I still haven't hung the new light fixture in the half-bath and I have to pack for a business trip Tuesday and I dread packing so I'll drag her into it and she'll tolerate me, barely, and I don't know what this is or if it's how it should be but it's us and we love each other more than we hate each other and it's not that we're great for each other it's just that there's some kind of intersectionality in our individual dysfunctions and so here we are.

I don't know shit about marriage and I'm glad the author is happy but I swear to fucking God that dog shit would drive me up the fucking wall so we have our thing and you have yours so let's just not judge each other or label each other's marriage.

The article is literally about relationships in the context of a long-term marriage. Your comment is a complete non-sequitur.

Heck, the article doesn't even require the presumption of a monogamous marriage for the points to be applicable. It applies equally well to any committed long-term relationship, no matter how many people are involved and regardless of your tax status.
AAA games are like Hollywood blockbuster action movies: They're insanely expensive to make, so investors and studios are less likely to take risks. The mainstream gaming industry also caters to far broader demographics than ever before, so the streamlined common denominator is simpler, less nuanced and more homogenous.

In "indie" lower-budget games there's a tremendous amount of innovation and creativity. There's also a lot of derivative cash-in crap. No worse than any other creative discipline, I think. One gem of a game makes up for thousands of failed attempts.
Brilliant article. And I think the author is pretty spot on.

I think a lot of the divorce rate is caused mostly by a lack of understanding that the infatuation of the first year or two doesn't last. That at some point the romance is in being deeply known, surviving life together, and being able to depend on each other. This is not to say that there won't be dates, dinners, flowers, etc. But just that those things become footnotes. I suspect that our culture (in the US particularly) has so tightly bound romance with lust and infatuation, that that's what people who get divorce after divorce are constantly in search of. How sad I am when I hear "we're great friends, but we both just want something more..." Like what? Because you can totally try someone new on like a pair of socks, and in all probability, in ten years, if everything's gone well, be right back to where you started: best friends, but something deeper because you've survived together.

True romance and the fruits of it are only achieved after decades.
Hey buddy. You never responded to me in the other thread. :-)

Strictly speaking, it's not a requirement. But it gives incredible cover. It makes everyone think, "well, it's possible - they know everything that goes on."

In other words, absent this sort of mass vacuuming, the individual targeting of a dissident might seem much more suspicious.

>What exactly is the breakthroughs/discoveries that Spacex have made that will justify the claim.

The breakthrough is actually doing it. A lot of space engineers were saying before Falcon 9 that what SoaceX were trying to do was impossible.

Hindsight is 20/20. It's easy to see now what steps were required to pull this off and that clearly those steps were possible. But if it's so clear, why wasn't it done before? The ottoman line is only Must and SoaceX were prepared to get the job done. Nobody else was even trying.

> It is a terrible thing that our educational system favors so much individualism, even when most important work(Nobel prices, great products or services) are done in teams.

Does our educational system favor individualism? My entire educational career was spent battling against enforced collaboration and group work, aka, get the smart kid to teach the rest of the dubs and do their work for them.

Fostering love of solo work and resentment of collaboration might be a side-effect of such practices, but somehow I don't think that's the intention.
>In my opinion Rust's safety is overhyped and entirely dependent on good implementation of unsafe code.

That's short-sighted. Of course it's "entirely dependent on good implementation of unsafe code".

But that's inconsequential, as unsafe code in a library, especially one used by everybody, is much easier to make safe than unsafe code all around.

And after you trust an unsafe lib you use to be sound, your own safe-only code can never breach that safety. You'll be guaranteed that any issue will be on the unsafe part.

It's all about compartmentalization.
Why would we want to make 7 billion people take responsibility for a problem that could be solved by a few thousand programmers?

Precisely so that those 7 billion people will not be at the mercy of the few thousand programmers (and those who they represent the interests of.) Creating more walled gardens --- which is effectively what you seem to be proposing --- only gives those in control even more power.

If you live within a drive of the Washington D.C. zoo, much of the zoo is built in this way. There's even a rope over the humans that monkeys can climb across to navigate between different parts of their habitat.

However, some of the harder to contain animals still end up behind glass or bars. But then you can also get up to within an inch or two of a mature Gorilla and interact with him a bit.

I can't help but feel sad for the animals, but you can also learn tremendous amounts about them by seeing them so close.

We had to redo an inhouse Electron app in WPF because we came to the point where we had to do some stuff within windows, e.g. printing or create a heavily customized MSI file. Both is possible with Electron but with the native Windows solution it's easier to fine-tune behavior.

I think for UI and some web stuff Electron might really be superior. Especially if your team is already fluent with the web stack. But it has it's limits and if you reach them or have very specific requirements you might be better of with WPF or UWP apps and the initially higher effort of developing in C#/XAML might pay off.

Saying this I believe the existence of Electron is a great possibility for UI devs.
