I think it is disingenuous to say popular vote matters in a country where voting is voluntary, to extrapolate the popular vote over the rest of the non voting population isnt fair. At best he lost the popular vote of the people who bothered to vote.
Prices in San Francisco were rock bottom in 2008-2009. I saw some insanely low listing prices at the time. I'm talking stuff listing for less than $400,000 that's listing for over $1.5 million today. Unfortunately I had _just_ begun graduate school on the East coast. I spent many nights trawling Trulia with my jaw agape, pleading with my S.O. (comfortable in her rent controlled apartment) to consider buying something.

Those prices don't show up on most historical charts because there were very few sales overall, and of course most sales were at the very high-end which are typically much more inelastic price-wise.

Most of the market was exceptionally illiquid, which is why many of those listings were so slow. Alot of renovations and new construction that had just come onto the market were discounted to fire sale prices, dragging other listings with them, and _still_ didn't sell until a year or two later. Banks simply weren't making loans, and the all-cash buyers weren't around either because the stock market had tanked.

The market rebounded much faster here than elsewhere. But, still, if you actually had hard cash at the time, and an appetite for risk (nobody knew if and when things would rebound) you could have made a killing. Some people did.
MySQL Cluster (NDB - not Innodb, not MyISM. NDB is the network database engine - built by Ericsson, taken on by MySQL. It is a distributed, in-memory, no shared state DB).
>50% of mobile calls use NDB as a Home Location Registry, and they can handle >1m transactional writes per second. We have verified the benchmarks, that you can get millions of transactions/sec (updates are about 50% slower than reads) on commodity hardware with just gigabit ethernet.
Oracle claim up to 200m transactions/sec on Infiniband and good hardware:

Two amazing facts about MySQL Cluster:
(1) It's open source
(2) It's never penetrated the Silicon Valley Echo Chamber, but is still the world's best DB for write-intensive transactional workloads.

>The only people who are against this are the usual types - the shareholders who want to cut costs to the bone and increase profits at the cost of everything else, including long term sustainability, integrity of the system as a whole, etc, then of course when the system collapses they run to the taxpayer crying for a bailout.

I'd be curious to see whether or not the proliferation of retirement and investment funds that are geared to profit members in recent would have had an impact on that rising trend.
I'm pretty sure 'all that' is what users are trying to avoid with AMP.
Ah. I thought terrible meant "issues using the service." I do have some annoyances with how I'm charged for things, but I don't mind paying for services ($2/month for 200GB) that give me things without resorting to selling my browsing habits to the highest bidder.
No in this case it was KYC, not fraud prevention. They wanted to check I wasn't going to use the funds for bad activities. But they backed down when I mentioned the note from my mum and they realised they were being unreasonable.

Somehow I missed that show. Thanks, adding to my to-watch-while-eating-supper list :).
That's really interesting because it is very similar to my reasons for going to Japan. I made a semi-random choice to learn Japanese. Because I was busy with work, I couldn't really afford the time to study properly and I made the fateful decision to move to Japan so that learning Japanese would be one of my job requirements ;-)

I really think that language is a gateway to the culture. It hacks with your mind so that things you wouldn't accept without the language, seem completely reasonable with it. In Japan (and I suspect it might be similar in Korea) language is often the only real barrier for being accepted by other people in the culture. You go from being some scary foreigner, to being a semi-celebrity that everyone wants to talk to (hmmm... it probably helps that I live in the countryside ;-) ).
Author of this needs to run a company for a while. If you really are the 110% employee you say you are, you are an edge case. The reality is, most people need to be told to go here, sit there, do this, for X hours, and I need these results. Otherwise, nothing gets done. And as far as work environment is concerned, literally everyone is different. I need a TV on playing reruns of The Office to be productive. We are all strange creatures.
Out of 480,317 deaths attributed to cigarette smoking, 160K were due to cardiovascular diseases and metabolic diseases. 160/480 = .3333

This calculation makes the charitable assumption that none of the deaths categorized as Cancer were due to the nicotine itself. The categories are Cancer, Cardiovascular Diseases and Metabolic Diseases, Respiratory Diseases, Perinatal Conditions, Residential Fires, Secondhand Smoke.

As an example, in 2008, a middle aged man could buy such a plan in Arizona for $70/month with a $10K deductible and $2 million lifetime coverage. This included free annual wellness visits, women's wellness checkups, etc. Keep $10K in the bank for emergencies, and you're good to go.

The key word you're looking for here is "high deductible."

$10k is a very high deductible; it essentially renders the medical plan useless for anything short of emergency or life-threatening care. Most people don't just have $10k lying around.

Smoking is not the only way you can get nicotine. Have you considered trying nicotine chewing gum or similar?

Factotum is one of my favs Bukowski's book to. I bought as a gift for my friends when she throws somewhere I find myself to read.
The "CB's" he's describing are so incredibly transparent, they might as well be strawmen.

The characterization is a bit overdrawn, but not by much. In my experience the more common scenario is not that of the S-W who does "no work" -- but rather the kind who basically does seem to "deliver" a lot, but, and here's the catch, with very significant hidden costs: in the form of (outrageous amounts of) technical debt, people around him burning out and/or quitting, etc. Which management usually does, ultimately, catch onto -- but not until the damage has been done, business opportunities have been lost, and his coworkers health, relationships and/or professional reputations have been damaged -- in some cases quite severely.

That is what forced me away from GV a few years back. It is an unforgivable flaw of a communication product for messages to completely disappeared from the system without any party knowing. The fact that Google was comfortable with that flaw for years tells you all you need to know about their commitment to these kind of products. It will take years of updates like this before I start to believe that any renewed commitment will stick.
Inductive reasoning is pretty important to science.

Adding Skype seats is insufficient to suggest Trump is changing his spots.

People have been saying he will stop behaving like a petulant child when he was elected.

Didn't happen.

Then when he officially took over.

Still not happening.

Their entire campaign was full of moments of tu qoque, ad hominems, and now alternate facts.

But yeah, they added a few Skype seats. Sure fire sign Trump is changing for the better
Financial regulation is a pain in the ass for banks but it is also a formidable barrier to entry for any competition. Bank shareholders should be happy about it within reason.

Thankfully, his anti-regulation stance is going to have a lot of opposition, particularly from the net neutrality crowd (including powerful allies like Google). But still - it's not like any of the other agencies like the EPA got a better head.

Particularly with the federal hiring freeze, I wonder what DC's workforce is thinking right now.
I have had some success with 'blueberry' indica strains (named for their fragrant characteristics I believe). I can be incredibly productive with this in the right environment (quiet, minimal interruptions, physically comfortable). But it's harder to shift focus and social interaction (even with intimates) is more of a chore. I don't know that it helps with adhd so much as alleviating anxiety enough to let me focus on what I want to think about.
There's a reason why Uber has taken almost $9B in funding. I say it's for a legal warchest: innovate without restriction and just deal with legal and ethical "messes" as they occur.
I haven't read the article yet, and I like Bukowski when in the right mood, but I just feel I should point out that "taste" is probably not one of his highest priorities.
>guilty of not being zealous enough at being a quasi-law enforcement agency and investigating its customer transactions...

Did we read the same article?

>Western Union (...) admitted "to aiding and abetting wire fraud" by allowing scammers to process transactions, even when the company realized its agents were helping scammers avoid detection

Furthermore:

>Between 2004 and 2012, the Colorado-based company knew of fraudulent transactions but failed to take steps that would have resulted in disciplining of 2,000 agents, authorities said.

If the prosecutors were able to prove that WU was aware that the transactions were fraudulent your comment makes no sense. They didn't need to be "a quasi-law enforcement agency" because they already knew that the transactions were fraudulent.
IMO Vaping is a far safer alternative to smoking for getting nicotine.
It's ride sharing, they are not commercial drivers, besides the robots will be driving for us shortly. This is more a story about people needing to resort to Uber to make money and in a city not near their home because even Uber isnt enough money in their home town.
Never understand why everyone on HN is all "build baby build" all the time.

They pulled out all the stops in Brooklyn (or most of them) and let me tell you it is not pleasant. Unless you like "modern" looking condos that fall apart in five years.

But I guess people don't move to SF for the sturdy quaint old houses. Apparently there's not much love for an urban-looking Brooklyn either. Generic rules.
Good points, this is getting complicated.

Aren't you also increasing the mass of the Universe? You could add enough mass to halt the expansion.
Thanks for releasing this, but it would work only properly (and be more efficient) if you checked for window.opener directly in new documents instead, and simply set it to null before document scripts are run (using the beforescriptexecute event is one option).

>security it terrible (even with all the stamps and hand signatures)

Sure, if you're sending a letter. But as long as you maintain physical control over your paper it's far more secure than anything stored on a computer.

There's a reason Russia's FSB bought typewriters instead of a thought-to-be-secure computer system for the storage of its most sensitive secrets.
4 Skype seats means Trump and his cadre are turning over a new leaf?
> That is when you are in the office someone from marketing can see you in the hallway and ask about the hot new feature of today without invoking all the formal channels to take to the guy remotely.

By that logic anyone who doesn't want to partake alcohol-infused after works the company arranges needs not to bother. Or anyone who brings their own lunch while the rest of the department goes out for lunch. Or anyone who doesn't like small talk. Anyone with those preferences would not be "staying in touch" in exactly the same way as the remote worker.

Unfortunately many Chantix users suffer from intense side-effects, and many have committed suicide.
Why are you assuming all the cardiovascular disease was caused by nicotine? That doesn't seem to be what the full report is saying, although maybe I missed it.

Why are you assuming the nicotine is solely to blame, and not for example the carbon monoxide?

Page 419:

> The 2010 Surgeon General’s report reviewed in great detail the mechanisms by which cigarette smoking leads to CHD; Figure 8.3 provides an overview of the mechanisms considered (Benowitz 2003). In addition to supporting the findings of previous reports, the 2010 report concluded that smoking produces insulin resistance that, together with chronic inflammation, can accelerate the development of both macrovascular and microvascular complications, including nephropathy, and the use of nicotine replacement and medications to aid smoking cessation in smokers with CHD produces far less risk than continued smoking.

Page 420:

> Nicotine is a sympathomimetic agent that increases heart rate and cardiac contractility, transiently increasing blood pressure and constricting coronary arteries (see Chapter 5). Nicotine may also contribute to endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, and lipid abnormalities. However, international epidemiologic evidence, and data from clinical trials of nicotine patches, suggests that chemical components in smoke other than nicotine are more important in elevating the risk of death from MI and stroke

Thanks; that's a great addition to the discussion. One important nit:

> The United States effort with both NAFTA and the TPP were to contain Russia and China, respectively, by building a coalition of countries with trade that excludes each specific United States adversary

As I understand it (I'm no expert in the field), U.S. policy in regard to China is that its rise to superpower status is inevitable, and the U.S.'s strategy is to get China to join a rules-based (i.e., law-based) international order - preferably the existing one - rather than create an anarchic great power competition that often results in terrible wars. On a political level, TPP was designed as a step in that direction; it wasn't intended to exclude China but to compel them to join a rules-based trade regime for the Pacific - i.e., either play by the rules or be excluded from trade. The goal was that they would join.

"One of the most interesting places to look for new ideas are the edge cases where deeply ingrained desires are mistaken."

"Could you provide an example Paul?"

"The desire for software to be efficient."

Is he saying that people think they want software to be efficient, but they actually want software that solves problems, and therefore you can find good ideas in making software that solves problems? I'm pretty sure I still haven't interpreted it correctly.

Once you set everything up to Publish the extension and hit the Publish button, Google informs you need to pay a 5 USD developer registration fee (using Google Payments) which allows you to publish up to 20 items.

The thing that finally worked for me was blackout curtains in my room. I didn't realize just how much the incoming light from outside my window was affecting my sleep. In pitch black darkness, I'm out like a light and have the deepest sleep imaginable. (It's so effective that I have to set an alarm to wake myself up, otherwise I'll stay asleep for 10-12 hours)

I'm able to replicate this somewhat using a sleeping mask, but I find most of them pretty uncomfortable; I like to sleep on my side, and that doesn't work terribly well when something's on my face.

Full disclosure here of course, I work an evening shift (12pm-11pm) so I'm used to going to sleep much later in the evening. Even still, I often found difficulty falling asleep due to light bleed from the lights around my apartment, and I feel like this contributed to my sleeping issues more than the sunlight in the morning, which my body's clock seems to have adjusted to on its own. (I still naturally wake up around 10-11am even without blackout curtains.)
Thanks for this comprehensive overview and the sensible caveats.
This sounds like a lot of "should works". I'm curious whether this is something you've successfully executed.

Anyone who is doing a good enough job of perception management is going to be better at managing perceptions from conversations better than you. They've had more practice!

You can end up looking like a person who overly cares about individual glory/not being a "team player"/trying to rain on someone else's parade.

Especially with C. People can spot disingenuous comments much easier than non-expert comments.

And easier way would be to implement something like stand-ups or demo days where each person has to own something.

Consistent underperformance should then be easily visible.
UBI is not adding money to the system. No new dollars would be printed. So there would be little to no effect on inflation. It's moving around existing money via taxation and redistribution.

Under this scheme there wouldn't be any incentive for a business to raise their prices. Imagine that UBI is implemented and imagine it's effects on a business in a mid-sized city, say a restaurant. The business now has an additional 50,000 potential customers, people who can afford to eat out more often due to UBI.

How should the restaurant owner react? He can raise his prices. But that exposes him to competitors who keep their prices the same. He can lower his prices. In which case he will earn less money per plate, but he now has a pool of 50,000 new customers to draw on, so he can make more money on volume. A good restaurateur would lower his prices proactively and try capture a large chunk of this new, larger market of customers.

The point is it's easy to see how UBI could cause prices to go down, and not just up. It's simplistic and misleading to assert that all businesses will start price gouging in response to a UBI. Populations are more complicated that this, and markets are dynamic.
Those are probably the only two cities on that list which would be (relatively) doable without cars. Pretty good public transit and significant areas that are fairly dense.

Not New Orleans. Like any city, you can identify areas where you might live and work without a car but you're going to have pretty limited mobility. Public transit is somewhat better than it used to be but it's still fairly limited--now a variety of streetcars but no subway for obvious reasons.
The report you linked does not explain the 95% number, and following their citations bottomed out in articles that don't contain that number either. I'd need to spend more time looking through those before I'd feel comfortable saying that no existence for the 95% harm reduction claim can be found in the tree of citations spinning out from the PHE report, but please be aware that as of now you have not provided evidence for that claim. I'd be pleased if you would, since it would probably save me a lot of time later.
