> China's ability to reach trade deals is probably somewhat limited by the fact that they do not believe in free trade or free movement of money and goods.

China's economy is built on international trade - specifically, their massive exports - and the movement of money and goods. They don't like it in some cases, but that's true of every nation.
Yup, there's only one real Rama book.

The "sequels" are something else entirely - boring and a waste of time.

Weird answer: the tutorial campaign in Factorio, each step is just the right size that you know what you have to do but you have to think a little bit and then the next step is slightly longer/more complex. I've not played a game properly for over a decade but thanks to the tutorial I'm over 60 hours in to Factorio and enjoying every minute.
> you are not a major publisher trying to make money off these pages.

Hate to break it to you, but major publishers aren't making any money of the AMP'd version of their pages - most of the monetization is stripped out, and readers aren't even actually on their site so they won't stay and click around.
And the beautiful thing is, RSS feeds load quickly with no scripts, embedded ads, or tracking, and isn't tied to any proprietary cloud service provider.

More and more I am convinced Google convinces everyone to move away from things just so they can "reinvent" them down the line in a more proprietary fashion.
Even Hong Kong which is incredibly dense resists this.

They are mainly found in Japan and I've seen a few in China and Singapore.

They range from bad to almost wellness/SPA centers but usually are at least decent, convenient and good value for money.
Not a bad idea. The White House Press Corps is a small, insular, incestuous organisation. Opening questions to people outside the building could lead to something new.

I like your mindset and this is the one I try to have.
The tools I mentioned are the ones I use best. Like you said, the choice of tools does not concern me as much as validating my idea and getting to revenue.

The part about 3d printing "to create specific housewares for a dinner party when you throw it" to minimize the need for storage seems pretty out there, but that's the only part that really stuck out to me.
Given all other constraints being equal, a co-located team will be more effective and will ship a correct thing (note: this is not "shipping a thing correctly"!) sooner. Because we are primates.

Of course all other constraints are never equal.

rust-lang #38899: borrowed referent of a &T sometimes incorrectly allowed
I think it is valid to think in terms of expected value here, where value is negative (a loss), since there is a large volume of transactions so the law of large numbers will apply. Set a threshold of expected loss below which you will not flag transactions. Then either very large payments or relatively smaller payments to countries with a higher known percentage of fraudulent transactions will flag a transaction. You can further refine this if for example there is a relationship between observed fraud rate and transaction amount.

If a company profits off of fraudulent transactions and is aware of the fraud, and the attorney general or equivalent stops viewing this as negligence, there is an incentive for the company to encourage this fraud to increase profits.
Sorry, I mean bases.

Nucleic acid replication involve them being both dual and single base sequences on different stages. So the difference between "bases" and "base pairs" is meaningless.
Oh, well, that's disappointing. Was hoping it could take advantage of CallKit.

That's not what Player Piano was about at all. Player Piano, his first novel, was actually a remarkably prescient story about a future dealing with the crisis of total mechanical automation, except with the utopian-in-retrospect idea that postwar America would continue its New Deal-meets-General Electric policies so that the biggest problem for people with low socioeconomic status who lose out from automation is societal alienation and loss of the dignity of work, rather than the actual reality of increasing wage peonage and poverty.

Keeping your options open is sound strategy because humans are imperfect at predicting the future and frequently overestimate their intellectual acumen. Why wouldn't you want a fallback position in case your first plan didn't work out?
Yes, this feeling is relatively constant in my life. There are times where it is more noticeable though. Usually getting lost in the moment is the best way, but that is hard to do on purpose
Optimistic Agents Are Asymptotically Optimal
Well, rust-belt protectionism played a key part (NAFTA, TPP). I was a Bernie supporter and was really disappointed when Hillary didn't co-op Trump's working-class rhetoric or get energized to at least compete in that battlefield. This is what Bill excels at. Obviously she shut him out of the core team.

Also, she was not that compelling as a candidate. And had all those negatives that I won't go into. Most of them false. But still, why do you put up a establishment candidate on a change cycle (looking at you Wassermann and Brazille, core dems)?

Edit: I don't especially like TPP but I saw it as a strategic shift to Asia for the US. Now China will likely join a TPP-light and really benefit. For better or worse this is going to be a big change over the next 20 years.
In addition to what was said, it also was an important piece in containing Chinese domination of the region. It would bind the nations into an international order that was not subject to (or strongly protected from) Chinese leverage of influence. Now China is much more free impose their will by threatening the economies of their neighbors.
> I don't even remember the calls to string split and console display in some of my favorite languages.

Provided you understand what is being asked, you shouldn't even need to remember a "favorite language". Most of the time, the interviewer doesn't care if you know something specific in a particular language, but rather you understand the process.

Heck - do it with a flowchart/process diagram, or write it in a "custom" pseudocode - provided that it looks like it will produce the proper output based on the input and the detailed process, it should be considered "correct" enough to get you at least past the first stage.

There are tons of people who claim to be programmers/coders/developers who can't even logically diagram a process or pseudocode a function/class/whatever. If they can't do that, they have some fundamental issues in their skill set that they need to remedy stat.
I worked at a computer shop many years ago. We had a guy come in wanting us to help him send an email with his personal information (bank account, social security number, IIRC) to- a Nigerian scammer! We told him it was a scam, and he insisted it was not, he refused to listen to reason. I don't know if he ever found someone to help him or figured it out on his own or what came of it.

The only thing that stopped keeping up are salary increases.

What's wrong with your overall summation of the situation is that the housing crisis is -- like most things that go systemically wrong in economics and public policy -- a product of multiple sources of causation, acting in concert.

That's why you can't (meaningfully) just say, "See, there's this other favor X [lack of middle class salary increases] at play. Therefore this factor Y everyone keeps talking about [high-salaried tech workers pouring into town] can't be the major factor. In fact, it's merely trendy."

Because in reality the housing crisis is a product of X, Y, Z, and a host of other factors acting in concert.
There was a plebiscite before the invasion. You have to show it was rigged (probably was, but I know nothing).

I don't think anybody even tried.
I wanted to take a quick second to dispel this myth. Although I collect watches and I have several high end pieces, including grand complications - none of them are good "investments". You will likely loose money on 99% of watches you can buy and it certainly applies 100% to all new Rolex watches. There is just a small amount of watches that actually appreciate like Patek application pieces or the Vintage Rolex Daytona ('Paul Newman) or 1980's Milgause. The chance you buy one of this is 0% unless you know what you are doing.

So your friend has a 25 year old Air King? This is not a vintage piece, it's just an old piece. Worth? $1500 - $2000 depending on condition. Secondly, in 25 years he had to service it at least 3 times. Each service cost? $400 - $800 depending on the issues. If he polished it, $500 more.

So all in he's put in $1,200 + ~$1,500 = $2,700.

Now had he place $1,200 in the S&P 500 on 1991 (exactly 25 years ago), he would have at the end of December 31 exactly $13,588 dollars (~9.78% on average per year).

I don't understand how you can say he beat the S&P many times over.
I agree with coldtea that this view doesn't match reality. I live in Santa Monica and while there is sprawl in Los Angeles county, I can walk or bike to everything I need, including my work or the beach. The trails of the Santa Monica mountains are close, let alone a couple hour drive to San Gabriel mountains or the Joshua Tree desert.
Old cars never really fit in garages that well either.

My father had both a 1954 Chevy an a 1963 for truck. In one house, built in 1918, the old car could be guided into the 1-car garage with the help of a couple people. There was just enough room to slide around the car.

Later on, they built a new house and extended the garage for the old car to fit. The truck didn't fit in either garage. The newer cars seemed to fit slightly better, though still tight.
> Why would conscious beings who have reached a high technological development even bother with expansion? That's like asking a cush white collar person to mine coal on the weekends. It doesn't make sense

What about the people who ride on ships from Southport to the Americas to plant crops or cotton?

But most expansion beyond the solar system would be inter-generational anyway, so it's more like people who are born on a spaceship and told by their parents they're a pioneer to an uninhabited world, and can't turn around.

It's not like they let the money sit around in the branch. Once it appears they send in the street rat to pick it up and run. These scams aren't just two bit crooks, they were straight up organized crime. It is an industry, one of the most productive in some areas.
Google Voice has been awesome for us with a little Obihai box. I use it every day to check on my mom (who has medical issues) and we have glitches occasionally but they are almost always cleared up by re-dialing.

It let us replace our $40/month CenturyLink landline (including taxes and caller ID) with a one-time purchase of the Obihai box ($40 on special) and the $20 porting fee to make the number permanent with Google Voice.

Our school district uses automated phone calls. Having Google Voice answer them, transcribe them, and send them to both me and my wife has been awesome.

Yes, but the funny end result of this is that bilateral trade deals will likely include similar or even more draconian restrictions w/r/t corporate sovereignty and IP laws as the policies being put forth are US-standard.
This was a key policy bit of the Trump stumping. Agree or disagree; this is (or should be) an expected outcome of Trump's win.

Ask HN: What are ways you feel healthcare can be improved?
Hey folks, its early days yet, but I'm working on building a platform and api (www.sapien.io) that would bring together your health records, fitness data, lab report, and any other health related data and place it totally under your control. I think quantifying longitudinal health data would have an enormous value for our society. A good analysis of what I mean is at https://medium.com/@qbio/a-positive-feedback-loop-for-humanity-437762f6725c#.x15ojq5w1.
I think making it developer facing would also be really awesome. As smartphone sensors get better and better, it isn't far fetched to imagine tests and apps being made for the phone that can detect common ailments like the cold. But we need a platform to support the developers and algorithms that would do that.
Any thoughts or advice for me? I'm very young and really just trying to build something that would help folks. I don't really have any plans for monetization, yet.

I don't think the garage will go away, but I do think we won't store transportation in there - especially if we happen to get mass transit to everyone via self-driving cars or something like that. (Obviously fantasy, but you get the drift).

The garage is so much more than car storage, though - as many others have pointed out, it makes for a grand workshop.
The discussion is that US pulls out of TPP...because Trump promised it and he initiated it.

a paragraph that won't communicate what I'm trying to say as clearly as I'd be able to in 10 seconds talking

On the other hand, I personally appreciate when someone sends me some written conversation rather than verbal as it allows me to take time to digest and respond (theres only so many times I can ask someone to repeat what they said) and it provides a written record that I can come back to later. The latter point is important because my memory isnt that great and I find it difficult to take notes and pay attention at the same time. Text is also searchable and shareable, should I need either.
The answer to this is easy: copy imessage. If Apple had even a little bit of common sense they'd support imessage on windows and android and just charge a small fee of some sort to make money off of it. They're blackberry right now, they could own the market if they were willing to eat their own market share.

As for google: I have no idea what is up with the stupidity. What people want is simple: an app that works on the PC and the phone, that can do messaging that falls back to SMS if the other-end isn't capable of "data" based communications, and ideally has encryption as an option and video chat as an option. Hangouts was like 90% of the way there, and then for some reason they went insert offensive analogy here and decided to release allo and duo with half the functionality. And oh by the way, after the release of those two apps, Hangouts started acting goofy for a month (which I struggle to believe is coincidence as much as I hate conspiracy BS).

Right, nobody makes totally optimal decisions all the time, but I wasn't comparing drivers to an inhuman standard of rationality. Perhaps it would be clearer to say that drivers aren't necessarily less rational than anyone else, and that includes the people calling for a limit on hours worked.
Ask HN: Tips for a technical proposal?
I've made technical proposals throughout my career and had mixed success. From what I've seen, my peers have been able to see more success with their proposals just by summoning more meetings to discuss their ideas. Eventually it becomes a given that the proposed direction is the right one to go and the meetings change from "should we do this?" to "how can we do this?"

I'm not trying to belittle this or dismiss their persistence, it seems like it really pays off and it's something I can learn from.

We're often measured by our ability to rally the team behind an idea. And so I come to HN: when you start out to convince your team "let's spend effort on X", what tips or techniques do you try to remember when crafting your proposal?
Meh, it's what I've said here and elsewhere for years: California has always been expensive, always will be. (Where definition of CA == "SF/LA/San Diego, not Stockton".) The only difference I've seen lately versus historically is that during the most recent housing crash Bay Area housing didn't seem to get hit much, if at all. OTOH, there was a considerable dip in CA housing prices in the 70s that didn't seem to affect the rest of the country.

The CA housing market, if nothing else, gives newspapers something to chat about on slow news days.
1. A more accurate restatement of what Posner wrote is "It's probably constitutional and any argument the other way has an uphill struggle." When it comes to constitutionality, SCOTUS precedent is not good or bad, it's simply is reality.

2. Fine, my bad.

3. Him being quoted by Breitbart means nothing. I mean Obama has been quoted by them. Clinton has been. Pretty much every single prominent Democrat politician has been. The only thing that is exposed by saying "breitbart" is that you disagree with the right.

And on the fourth, exactly. I'm not arguing whether it's constitutional or not. I'm saying that anyone who says that it's unconstitutional on it's face is full of it. It's clearly not obviously unconstitutional as people who study the constitution and work in the field feel that it could go either way.
Inoculating the Public Against Misinformation About Climate Change
Yes, sometimes the best you can do without violating everyone's privacy is just the best you can do. You work with it. You lose sometimes, maybe you pay a percent or two extra for insurance to pay out in such cases of fraud, but you accept that it's better than the blatant privacy violation of the other systems.

To put it another way, just because terrorists could use unencrypted email to communicate doesn't mean we have to go and scan everyone's email for threats.
Dropbox at least protects against deletions and encryption by storing a version history of all files for the past 30 days or so. That doesn't protect the files very well against theft, but it does serve as a nice recovery option against unwanted / accidental changes:

Also in Scotland, currently in the final week of living in this house, and I've discovered a few things during my house hunting travels. News from builders is that new builds aren't built to have a 'proper' garage - they're built to have a storage garage, to the point that a modern larger variety car won't fit.

Couple that with modern cars being bigger than they were 40 years ago means that your average Wimpey home from the 70's won't have a large enough garage.

Builders also resist building out, in favour of building up in order to get more from the tranche of land.

My wife and I despise most cookie cutter new builds, but we took a tour around a new build estate for a laugh one day... postage stamp gardens, no hammerheads for turning a car, and a driveway large enough for one car. We had to use someones driveway to turn the car around... and these are 'spacious 4 and 5 bedroom homes' on offer for £400+k

Housing in the UK really is pitiful. We have some of the smallest homes in the world these days.

As much as we like to complain about it tech is still one of the most meritocratic fields out there.

Relatively meritocratic, yes. But at the same time, suffused with bullshit. In particular as regards to the (generally inflated and useless; and let's face it, nearly ubiquitous in tech position ads, even still) "N years of X" requirements that the commenter was referring to.

And as someone who's done a couple hundred interviews I don't really care what's on someone's resume.

So would you mind letting your HR people (you know, the ones who write the aforementioned position ad copy) in on this little secret? As in, just walk up and tell them sometime and say: "Actually, we don't really care if they have 5 years of Angular or 3 months. We just want someone who's good. Meanwhile these ads you're writing with these made-up and generally useless years of platform experience are turning away, in droves, the very species of developer -- hardcore generalists with solid fundamentals, both intellectually and coding-wise (in any language) -- that we're so desperately looking for."

Or would that just confuse them?
