It's opposing points of view on life priorities.

For example in Europe there are a lot of small towns that house most of their residents in apartments, even if they have the land to build large houses. The idea is why take up all that space when you don't need it.

While capitalism is in a sense good for consumers it also leads to people living their lives with the goal of making as much money as they can to buy as much stuff as they can. This life view as opposed to living for community involvement and life experiences can be seen as odd and thus hilarious.
I second this. I'm generally a fan of efforts to reduce the CPU usage of background tabs (as one who constantly finds himself with an embarrassing number of open tabs), but I need to be able to control which tabs I absolutely don't want throttled.
"Mr. Zuckerberg, is it true that you screwed a bunch of Hawaiians out of their property?"

As the price of oil rises, it makes more sense for extraction in 'hard to get' places, which requires more technology, more jobs.

As long as Oil is above $60/barrel, the the Alberta Oil Sands become exploitable, requiring massive, massive jobs. And very high paying. Unskilled labour is $80K. Skilled labour well above $100K - and tons of 'vacation' - usually 2 weeks in, 1 week out type thing. People fly in from all over the world.

The carbon energy sector continues to employ a lot of people and will.

Of course - environmental issues notwithstanding.
That's simply not true - there are a lot of people talking about rehabilitation over retribution and the role of poverty and inequality in crime. It's not barred by any means.
You are very smart.
Service Workers are specifically designed to be short-lived and temporary [1]. They should be tied to events coming from the main script, which is subject to these new timing limits in the background. You should check your app against Chrome 56, as you might be in for a surprise.

.NET Core works on Rotor for Linux and macOS, right.
Silverlight for macOS also works on Rotor AFAIK.
I've been developing in Scala for years, but lately I've really grown sour at the TypeSafe/Lightbend libraries and tools (poorly documented, half-implemented libraries with major breakage on each release with little to no migration documentation).

People like Paul Philips (yes yes, I know he's ranty and rubs people wrong and is kinda intense, but he makes good points) show that you can build a sane language on top of the JVM, but Scala makes a lot of the same concessions and refuses to fix a lot of implementation bugs in favor of backwards comparability and enterprise support.

I wrote Kotlin off originally as a late into the game pull by Jetbrains, but now I really want to take another look at it and see what type of library and JVM support is has.
The rule of thumb that I apply is to use a very strong, very hard to remember vault password, and to write that down and store it with your taxes or something.

The reasoning being that the thief breaking into your home doesn't care about a random sequence of characters, and how it might allow him to steal your online identity if he boots your computer and finds your vault file.

He cares about the resell value of your camera, iPhone and maybe Macbook.

You too, Pavel, my dear, thanks for identifying yourself. I know you say it only because it's true.

I'm very impressed how you masterfully contributed to the discussion.
There should be a way to opt out of this per domain, the way a user opts into Notifications API, Webcam API, etc. A website should be able to ask permission to not be throttled this aggressively.
It demonstrates a problem with the system, I'm not sure it is fundamental. There's lots of more widely used generic drugs that are available for a nominal fee.

You'll have to pry my Vive from my cold dead hands!

We haven't even scratched the surface of what it's capable of yet. Even if no AAA titles materialize the amount of creativity coming from lone devs and small studios is astonishing.

In terms of "failing" - it might not become a mass market thing yet - but it's got an enthusiast market that's not going anywhere soon. There are a dozen OpenVR headsets coming out in the near future so even if HTC and Oculus disappeared tomorrow it would be sustainable.

Bear in mind 3D is only a tiny part of what VR is about. The failure of 3D TVs doesn't teach us anything about the future of VR.

For a language like Rust that puts all the pain up-front, I want to hear whether the pain is worth it. But someone who spends only a few days can't give you a weighing of whether the pain is worth it.

I'm reluctant to even listen to someone's Amazon product opinion if they've only used it 2 days.

Nothing like political jabs to highlight the hypocrisy of YC. Where are the comments decrying how this sort of comment is not what this community is about? Where's @dang with his boilerplate lecture?
It's a bad thing. It prevents people from investing in developing the land.

Areas without a clear title tend to be poor because as soon as someone tries to build a factory, workshop, business, or even just a nice house they're hit with multiple lawsuits.

Why does it have to be "any suspicious activity", and why "anti-terrorist agencies"? Why not start with "things that are obviously crimes" and "the police"?
The last time I remember SO being down, it was because someone entered a unhealthy amount of whitespace somewhere. I'm curios what caused it this time.

Aaaaand it up again for me.
In my project the serviceWorker only has a setInterval that will trigger the main loop.

When the setInterval was in the main code it would slow down, a lot, when the tab was on background. That made the generated music go slow aswell. With the serviceWorker the clock is rock solid, even when the background app can't keep up, the timing is solid.
For me, it's more that I use my tabs as reminders for things I need to do or things I want to read (I know, this is a pretty bad system, and I try to use a better to do list and tools like Pocket on top of tabs, but I always seem to drift back to just tabs simply because it's the lowest effort system for me to ensure I remember). If I'm working, I'll generally just open a new window and keep the tabs I'm actively using there and get to the backlog later.
I can't imagine there wouldn't be, which is why a sane transit policy is also required. It's a slightly over-simplified but fairly-explanatory model to say that every mile traveled in a car is a failure of transit policy.
I am a tab hoarder I guess. I use them to organize my work. Every window is a project (right now I have 5 of them) and all the tabs (20-30) are mostly resources I need to fulfill them. If I have completed a project or decided to stop working on it I close the window and get rid of all project related pages at once.

I don't use favorites or bookmarks because usually I don't need a link permanently.

Edit: I actively try not to get too many. If it starts to hide the title/favicon completely I start to close them again until I can recognize them by title without clicking through them.

GMail and Google Docs work offline too. Surely with things like Firebase it's less complex than inter-tab communication?
Now you're supposed to feel bad about it, because the word connotes injustice by virtue of denoting a concept of "private law" - one rule for me, another for thee. But people who want you to feel bad about it don't want to be seen to be saying they want that, so they ignore the denotation and the connotation in their rhetoric, whose every deployment demonstrates further that it is enormously unhelpful toward its stated purpose, but which persists nonetheless. One wonders why.
I love how matter-of-factly the article ends with "so, etc."
I would echo another comment here and say that it depends. However (speaking from my own perspective) depending on the discipline there's no specific need to do a PhD in order to understand and apply machine learning.

It also depends on what you mean by "advanced degree". I have an undergraduate degree in physics/math and a master's in economics/finance, and I find between those two things I've been able to follow developments in machine learning and also to apply them to my work. In fact, I used to get a bit annoyed with those who would imply that I "must" do a PhD ... I would say that's certainly true if I wanted to invent new estimators etc., but otherwise not so much. A PhD can be great for other reasons but it's not the sort of thing required for actually doing my job.
I remember somebody once posted a weather map of the country here, where he defined an ideal day and counted the number for each area. Seattle actually did pretty well, though this is coming from a Maine resident, so pretty much everyone else wins.
Building on top of the gaza pyramids doesn't destroy the original, it changes it.

Sequels absolutely can affect the integrity of the original by expanding the universe of the plot in ways that it's original design never intended or the way it was originally perceived.
I have a 3d TV and it's really excellent. I think people have associated the annoying extra cost of 3d in cinemas, for not much benefit, with 3d on TVs. I don't know why. It's very immersive at home.

The only annoyance is that there aren't enough 3d films available. So I guess this will just cement that issue.
i agree especially in the area of racial discrimination in NYC housing in decades past. bad stuff.

You should make sure they've actually stayed around in their companies a few years to see how it actually behaves. I've seen a bunch of architects that regularly move on to the next hot project, before the old one is properly completed. The architect never sees all the problems that come from their grand ideas so they dont get to learn what is practical. There is a big difference between architects that know all the hottest tech and buzzwords, and an architect that can deliver a reliable and maintainable platform.
Project Management vs. Workflow Management. Do You Know the Difference?
You are wrong. If you're buying a house it might have taxes attached but not side lots if you read the site I referenced. The city is literally giving side lots away so that they are added back to the tax rolls.

Also absolutely no one is going to buy a house with $50,000 of taxes attached! Instead you wait until the land bank owns it and either buy it directly from them or wait for the yearly auction.

Rarely do housing sites have chemical contamination. There are however former industrial sites that do. But if you look at who is doing urban farming in Detroit it is exclusively on former residential land.

Urban farming does make sense economically. Lots of young people don't have the capital to buy good rural farmland. If you're in the city you're also near great markets but the key is growing high value, labor intensive crops like fruits and vegetables.

Unless you're an experienced farmer operating at scale you can almost always buy corn, wheat and soybeans cheaper from the farmer than you can grow them yourself.
Thanks! You're welcome!

A good word for something that encompasses all things creepy, crawly and tiny without involving scientific classification is "bug". Most english would agree that most spiders, ants, bees, centipedes and other like it are all bugs.

This breaks down in Australia where the spiders are as big as your head or in Puerto Rico where the foot long centipedes eat bats. Those aren't bugs, those are nightmare fuel.

tilling is the worst thing you can do to soil. just tilling once would destroy the soil structure and it would take forever to rebuild it.

i cant speak for commodity farming, but for vegetable farms, fertility doesnt have to be lost. the problem is that farming ceased to be a closed loop system long ago when we started mechanising farm equipment. the environmental degradation is astounding. and unnecessary.

no till farming promotes carbon sequestration. the cascading good effects of no till is well documented. first, it helps with erosion issues...which protects our water from contamination. good soil holds water. irrigation needs are reduced. huge machinery compacts the soil and causes hard pan. we are losing thousands of inches of top soil every year.

imagine if we did this.trying to scrubbing off old tired skin every night and painting an artificial skin everyday in the morning. the only way to maintain good skin is to feed it from the inside...stay hydrated. the more you scrub, the thicker the paint. eventually, you'd have no skin of your own.

it is the same with soil. the eco system is self-correcting. there is tremendous value to this. all the inputs we use..from fertilizers to pesticides to herbicides...become necessary because we have pierced a self correcting, self balancing system. the soil web is so complicated and delicate. it is entirely capable of keeping itself healthy.
inputs cost $. more labour. less productivity as more dependence on outside inputs. farms that grow corn or soy or sweet beets do this on 5000-6000 acres. (all of this doesnt equate to 'food' per se..we hardly grow enough grain to be self sustainable..we dont grow millet or 'small grains' which are drought tolerant and more disease resistant.) but our vegetables are grown in succession multiple times in one growing season. maybe this is why our diet is so messed up in america.

agriculture in america is about the care and feeding of businesses. not its population. the debt of farmers is astounding..farmer debt is crushing. the numbers are shrinking every year. eventually there will be no food soverignity here because food will have to come from outside.
I'm a bit confused - they recently discovered Java is unsound? I thought this was well-known for quite some time because of broken co/contravariance?

On recent Java developments, Java's undecidable typechecking has now been proven:

Rather than train automotive AI to handle this case, we should just stipulate that if you live in a godforsaken place that might require you to run over somebody during your drive in order to survive banditry, you should keep your seatbelt fully fastened and remain aware enough to retake control of the vehicle at short notice should it stop. I'm sure some airline has a sign that could be reused for this purpose.

Or, you know, you could just drive yourself. Or pay a driver. Or stop fantasizing about embarrassingly absurd stuff that has nothing to do with the efficacy of automotive autonomy.
The counter-argument would be that "real" communism involves everyone deciding for the collective good.

In practice it winds up as you describe, with strongmen at the top.
I run a real time charting platform for Bitcoin traders (like those using BitMEX) and the app does a lot of updating/refreshing. I recently learned of the visibilitychange API and managed to make huge improvements in the app's performance when running in the background - on the order of ~75% reduction in CPU usage when running in the background. [1]

var doVisualUpdates = true;

document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', function(){
doVisualUpdates = !document.hidden;
});

Basically, you can use this to determine if your tab is running "in the background" and avoid redrawing/refreshing components to show updates that won't ever be seen.

It's kept that land from becoming a strip mall.

Development isn't an unambiguous good. It's very possible the owners are happier with possession of family land over whatever sum of money they could get.
I watched Deepwater Horizon on the plane the other day. As someone who designed systems for offshore drilling rigs in the early eighties but haven't stayed up on the tech there much, I was impressed at the amount of electronics and what appeared to be more automated handling of drill pipe.

That said, it was also interesting that the basic mechanics of drilling an offshore well weren't really all that different from what I was used to.
With Tree Style Tabs I just got to the same level of disorder with even more tabs open. It didn't actually help my behavior :)
>I'm not exactly clueless myself. I've yet to see an argument for lower-fidelity technology that is remotely convincing. Reality is basically infinite fps.

Extreme close ups, action sequences, camera panning and traveling are not part of reality. Nor do we change camera angles several times per minute in a discontinuous fashion. Cinema is not a full real world simulation, it is a technical way to tell stories.

> VR was workable 20 years ago; I was working on it at that time. Thing is, it only provides a tangible benefit for certain use cases, and most people don't derive enough value from those use cases to pay extra for it.

"Workable", as far as I know basically everyone who used VR then and used it now agrees that there is a big difference due to technological advancements.

The argument that people don't pay extra for it is also only relative, because that's a function of the price they have to pay extra. I'm pretty sure if a high-end VR headset would cost 30 Euro many more people would buy it, as I'm sure more people would buy it for the current price point if the tech would be more advanced.

To sum it up with an comparison: Your argument reminds me of all the people who said a file hosting service will never be something people want as others had failed before and it is a useless idea. Dropbox proved the opposite.

In the end no one knows the future, but at least we now have had a fruitful discussion with arguments for both positions.
That is a common misconception, especially amongst engineers. There's a large cohort of smart people who've read a contract and think this means they grasp the law; but without understanding jurisprudence or equity, common/case law, the myriad forms of legislation, actual legal proceedings &c &c.

In reality the law is not a programming language, and trying to treat it as such is a common cause of disappointment, frustration, anger, needless bickering, extended conflict, and vexatiously long and mostly unenforceable contracts.
> It's not literally or otherwise the point of intelligence agencies to spy on all foreigners of all other countries than your own.

I never said all.

> They're supposed to and allowed to spy on both foreigners and their own citizens

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the CIA was prohibited from operating on US soil?

> There can and should be guidelines and ethical standards for spying on foreigners just as there should be guidelines and ethical standards for spying on your own citizens.

I agree, but the bar is much lower for a US intelligence agency to spy on a Pakistani courier than it is to spy on a CPA from Bloomington, IL.

Per my other reply, if you accept the original terms of the Fermi paradox, which is that there should be a lot of alien civilizations, then merely killing off "nearly all" of them is insufficient

Only up to certain values of "nearly." If you make intelligent life rare enough and suppress it from spreading out of its home system then you fulfill the original terms. My "Civilization Instability Hypothesis," combined with the indivisibility of the alternative could fulfill the original terms.
Except all rhetoric I see involving privilege is ultimately about me having to keep my mouth shut about real issues or concede benefit to another, all because I'm a white guy. In fact I didn't inherit wealth or any "privilege", but I'm meant to feel as though I did something wrong by virtue of my skin color. You may not say "feel bad" but the type to use that word sure are.

I went to Kaui for a 2 week camping trip a few years back.

I would listen to the local radio broadcast at night, which I really enjoyed. It was some local DJ that would talk about native rights and issues. One thing that stuck out to me was an interview he did with a Native American from the main-land. The guest was amazed at how much local Kaui natives were able to defend their rights and maintain (at least influence) control.
