For NYC, that's a myth. There are two programs:

"rent control" - grandfathered in old program that affects a very, very small number of apartments, not enough to make any market price difference, except for the lucky few who happen to have these

"rent stabilization" - a huge proportion of apartments are affected by this program, but it only applies to buildings built before 1970something, so it obviously can't affect new construction incentives. Even if it did, it's so full of loopholes I don't see it affecting the market prices. Outside of lower Manhattan, rent stabilized apartments often have official maximum prices well above the current rent. The difference is explained by a legal fiction called "preferential rent" ie, the landlord is giving the tenant a temporary discount and reserves the right to raise up to the maximum legal rent at any time.

So, no, in NYC, rent regulations aren't significantly contributing to a housing shortage.

The main obstacle to building more housing, is building more housing. Duh.
If the only thing the interviewer has to judge your skill on is what you wrote on the board, that's what will be used. When I'm interviewing, I'm trying to gauge how they approach a problem, how well they can reason through a solution, whether they see the assumptions they're making and the impact those have on the solution, what the limitations are of the algorithm they came up with, etc. It's really hard to see most of this if the candidate doesn't talk at all.
Can vouch for Kraken.io -- I've just begun using it to optimize ~50k+ interior architectural images so fidelity is important to me and my users. I'm about a third of the way done with the project and am saving just about 40% in size on average.
It would be dangerous to run this open source code, also, since your program could be manipulated with precision timing attacks, if it were to be fooled into making a bid at a price flash. There is in fact plenty of technical risk. Caveat emptor!
A perfectly reasonable point which can be made without insulting the OP
You also have to account for wildlife and weather. You wouldn't want a big blow or a bear to knock your chest down and scatter the contents. But you're correct that most people don't look in all directions when they walk.

Underwater was actually the first thing I thought of. Why a bronze chest, after all? Gold doesn't corrode, and bronze doesn't float.

I recall tales of WW2 military units tasked with cleverly camouflaging things. Technology has progressed. You can now take a photograph of terrain and print that exact photo onto a cloth which can then be epoxied over a fiberglass form and decorated with local surface features.

So I could make a fake fiberglass rock large enough to cover a 10" cube, perfectly camouflage it with a custom print shop order and about $80 in supplies, and anchor it to the ground. You might not realize it was a treasure cache even if you tripped and landed with your face one meter away from it. But that's not necessary if you just control sight lines.
I've really welcomed the recent GitHub features such as "squash & merge" and "rebase & merge". Instead of parsing through 200 commits of "typo", "lint", "spacing", a feature is placed in a compact diff with the feature title & related task id as the commit message.

A commit should be a unit of work. Tests should pass before and after. The commit message should describe the change. Ensuring that you have a good commit message then influences what content you contain in a commit.
> I barely knew how to code

So you started out already knowing some programmer and thus were not a non-programmer at any point in your SAAS, so you didn't do it either.

> I worked my ass off to become an adequate coder

Then you agree, it's not possible without being a coder.
Fascinating. As a person who connects with both I am deeply honored to read about this
Climate research is a waste of your money?
It's a matter of value. There is nothing near 150k/mo of recurring revenue or sustainable value here.

Edit: And even though it's not what I was saying, I don't know why you think that kind of thinking is 'programmer think'. That's a bit disparaging to programmers, no? The ones I know aren't that shallow.
The physics of this are insane. Then again, by my calculation the A380 displaces roughly 11 million cubic feet of air per second at the max landing weight.
Offline mode is great for when the shops WiFi or local provider is having connectivity issues. The Square software and reader queue card swipes and transactions along with tip and receipt information until a connection is reestablished. You can just keep ringing people up.

Today, we went into offline mode automatically and processed a few transactions. Then our app was forcibly logged out of Square service and we couldn't get back in to continue in offline mode.
Amazon CloudDrive ToS forbids commercial use for one thing.
> so I try to solve new and interesting problems

Curious if you have any examples. I have really hard time motivating myself to study same old ds and algorithms too .
Well, in the case of this particular drive it just means more terabytes.
I did some work for a company that had 100+ banks running accounting software developed in Visual Basic in the early 90s.

Unfortunately, this experience, supporting obsolete, spaghetti-code-nightmare, opened my eyes to the world that business is done in a much dirtier way than how I imagined growing up.
So basically the same rent seeking behavior Microsoft applied to Android vendors, now applied to the cloud? Except instead of paying $20 to $40 per handset to MS, you have to use Azure and deal with the resulting mess.

I don't think Netflix and Amazon really compete yet. Very few people see the two services as either/or. They're more allies against the cable companies at the moment.
The wakes of large aircraft are such that even big passenger planes make sure to keep plenty of separation.

Is another example (though pilot error likely made a bad situation worse in that particular incident).
Our patent system is completely broken.
Willing to bet you $5 that the spaghetti code accounting software written in VB in the early 1990s is actually a GUI front end on top of an AS/400 or an IBM system/360 thing that's now running in emulation on a "mainframe".
Well this is personal, not commercial.
> If you are a good developer who sucks at whiteboard interviews, write open source code that everybody can see.

Not good enough for me. My engineers need to be able to collaborate with customers, management, and each other. They need to come up with ideas and explain them, advocate for their ideas. They need to be able to think, code, and collaborate.

Writing code is the easiest part of software engineering. In the environment I work, our engineers can't sit in isolation and submit pull requests. So while open source contributions are nice, being able to interview successfully is still required.
NNs are much older than this chart. They aren't terribly good at problems like this because they tend to overfit more than other methods. They need lots of data to generalize well. They only really excel when the data has regular structure that can be exploited by weight sharing (like CNNs to images or RNNs to time series.)

Mental Discipline and How to Cure Our Propensity for Self-Deception
I just re-listened to it, and it reminded me that Opals are excellent. If you can find them, i.e. you live in Washington, try them. They look like some of the worst apples (golden delicious), but they're some of the best.
Would YC fund a centre for egoism, for-profit?
Yes, this exactly. We went into offline mode 1st and then that stopped working completely (all cards/taps payments rejected). So we asked every customer if they had cash before taking their order and we're able to complete those transactions just fine.
Soon afterwards, both of our terminals (iPad) were kicked out of the app and we resorted to paper and calculator for cash only.
> dark pattern

Just learned a new phrase today.

But, I believe you're looking for "planned obsolescence." It's common in car manufacturing.
What needs to be proven is that [if] we live in the only universe. That we live in one universe [where both GR and SM are correct] is not, as far as I know, being debated.
Even if he were paying me to use tarsnap I wouldn't use it for backing up 12TB.

I'd consider a backup solution that takes 3+years to make a full backup (or 4 months for a restore) to be of negative value to me...

(I wonder how many months I'd get away with uploading 300GB/month before my "unlimited" ADSL plan hit me with it's "acceptable use" disclaimers? Given that I'd be using 100% of my upload bandwidth to take this 3 year backup, I suspect the cost of 2 identical drives to make local backups would probably be cheaper than the network costs of sending it to tarsnap!)
(He actually literally says "I am not a historian" in this podcast)
Worth noting that a great deal of lossy image compression methods currently in use were developed in the mid to late 1990s, when a 90 MHz Pentium was an expensive and high end CPU. Spending CPU time to do the one time compression of a lossless image to lossy is not as expensive in terms of CPU resources as it used to be.
You might be interested in athenahealth, a Web-oriented healthcare company which actually runs a sort of startup incubator ("More Disruption, Please"), and has led a lot of initiatives to improve interoperability. They realize these things create trouble for them as well as the rest of the field, but I think they're betting that their rivals are significantly less flexible than they are.

(This is a safe bet, of course. The giants of the field, Epic and Cerner, are infamous for overwork, low pay, and high turnover. Their technology's also obsolete: Epic has a VB6 front end and MUMPS back end; Cerner uses C++, but it's probably C++ thinly translated from C thinly translated from Pascal, so they're not a whole lot better. At least MUMPS isn't vulnerable to C-style buffer overflow attacks!)
I always thought it was more that the techniques used to describe interactions in the SM simply don't work when asked to describe gravity.

So we have a detailed theory of particle interactions for the three forces, and a very small stub of a dead end which blows up to infinity in a useless way for hypothetical gravitons.

From a very native hand-wavey view, I'm not sure this is a surprise. GR describes a rather lovely and smooth view of spacetime, while the SM assumes spacetime just works transparently and effortlessly, and quantum lumpiness somehow happens inside it, with a few relativistic adjustments.

It looks possible they're both different ways to think about information, causal relationships, and correlations. There's enough weirdness around quantum ontology to suggest that neither information/state nor causality are so trivially simple they can be taken for granted.
This is actually genius. Hearing stories from other indie developers who get sued left right and center without reprieve is frightening. If GCP / AWS follow suit it will make this idea market competitive and reduce the 1000$/mo price point.
Technology has improved chemical weapons quite a bit from the stuff used in World War One though (and chemical weapons were pretty effective then.) Modern weapons can kill in terrifyingly small doses. I mean, sure, they aren't as dangerous as nuclear weapons. But that isn't saying a lot...

They're civil servants, not outlaw bikers. If they're told to use a new system, they'll try. If USF&WS says a system is unusable, while BLM NPS and BIA enter only 14% of what should be entered, I'm willing to believe that the system isn't usable by the users who are supposed to use it. Besides we're not talking about that many people. The whole department is only 70k employees, and less than half of those would be in the field. Let's grossly overestimate and say it cost $800 per user to print out some manual binders and tutorial DVDs. That leaves $22M left over for actually building a very-low-volume (TFA says "several hundred reportable incidents" per year) CRUD app and tying it to other relevant systems. Only, after spending that $50M, we got nothing.

You can put data on a google drive and share a link with them. I did this for all my existing radiological data. They had no issue downloading it.

I believe that's the "post" part of post-structuralist. Power is not a zero-sum game for Foucault.
Raid 10 still leaves you vulnerable to a second drive failure. I'd personally jump from a multiple parity scheme to at least raid 5+1 without ever stopping at 1+0.

(Though probably something with checksums instead of naked redundancy.)
Yea - it does seem a bit high. We use Spark for our adtech data pipeline and we're handling tens of billions of events a day in less time. It may be a function of how much data they're pulling in from other systems or dumping the data back into a variety of systems. Spark itself is parallelizable so in theory can be sped up just by running more nodes.
Another one I love is that both bash & zsh can edit the current command in $EDITOR. In bash, it's ^X^E by default, and in zsh, I think you have to bind it. (it's edit-command-line, which I strangely can't find in man zshzle.)
Good thing she asked! If that happens, they were probably going to give you an insultingly low offer after you had invested a bunch of time in their interview process.
I think he likely meant "I don't think we will ever see HL7 messages exchanged between organizations [routinely and with little effort]."

"some configuration work is usually needed on each interface" is the key phrase in your response. Just because many organizations have poured cash into yours and your competitors' solutions when the economic stars align does not mean that message passing between organizations is a solved problem.
So what you're asking me to believe is that this chemical, which does not occur naturally and which is biologically active, indeed quite toxic to some species, and which we are manufacturing and introducing into the environment in massive quantities, has no deleterious effects on animals or humans? Wouldn't that be pretty much a first? I mean, I'm not an expert here, but is there any other molecule of which all that is true? I certainly can't think of any.

It's possible that humanity has just gotten very lucky in chancing on a compound that does something useful for us with no side effects (on animals or humans, that is -- as cmrdporcupine points out, there are effects on plants which weren't the intended targets -- but let's leave those aside). I can't rule out this possibility completely. But do you see why some of us think the standard of evidence should be extremely high?
I read this as suggesting that a simple arbitrary rule to not use AWS is likely to save both money and also the time that would otherwise be spent tuning your use of AWS to cost less money.

Your time is valuable too. It could be spent developing something novel instead of messing around with server configuration.
Unrelated, but is there a good list for machine learning?
That was my read of it also, but I'd love to hear from someone else who understands this better.
Maybe we did... The modern world is like a utopia compared to the horrors of our past. Every year the world is getting better statistically. Poverty is decreasing, wars are decreasing, life spans are increasing... You wouldn't know it if you just watched the news. Which only focuses on the bad events and the negative aspects of the world.
They averaged more than one intervention per mile, but did not "have to be taken over at every mile".

I worked on a Daimler-Benz autonomous vehicle back in 1991 and our bus could drive many highway miles at a stretch without intervention. What Uber is doing is many, many times harder than what we were doing, but I have to imagine that they had many clean, fully autonomous miles (and many others that had multiple interventions per mile to offset).
Writs subpoena (court orders to testify or produce documents) had been part of the English legal system for almost 400 years at the time the Constitution was written. So when the Framers wrote that no one "shall be compelled in any [1] criminal case [2] to be a witness [3] against himself," that's what they meant. Had they intended to limit courts' subpoena power in civil cases, as to non-testimonial conduct, or as to testimony against other people, they would have said so.

Why You Should Not Trade Not to Lose
Except in Many Worlds. :)

Side question - if MW were true, could it lead to universes where either/both of GR and SM were very different?

Are there any constraints on theory classes? Is it possible to go past the usual ideas of MW (different physical constants, or maybe some trivial historical differences) to imagine universes with completely different logical/mathematical/causal bases?

Does the nuclear material still react even if it doesn't explode? Like a nuclear reactor melting down.
Absolutely.

I contracted for a person who built a small but very profitable SaaS app using contractors.

There are some caveats though. The person has a smattering of technical knowledge which prevented him from being completely taken advantage of by contractors. And he was an effective manager (a rarity to be sure). And he knew exactly what he wanted and stayed on top of details of how it was implemented. Although not a necessarily a "programmer" he also knew enough about using Git to review/merge changes. And perhaps most importantly he had the financial backing to complete the project.

I've also worked for other people who didn't have these qualities but figured they'd just hire some people to build some stuff without keeping on top of it or in many cases having a clear vision of what they wanted. Predictably these projects didn't turn out well for them.

But yes, it is possible. I've seen it.

Is it just me or is this actually genius? Mutually assured destruction has been the name of the game for big companies for a while now, but that wasn't practical for small players. If Microsoft is willing to take small companies under its umbrella, it could be quite effective and helpful. Seems like what they actually do is provide you the opportunity to buy a hand selected legal weapon, but that threat may well make azure a little safer for small companies and startups. Will Google and Amazon feel pressured to follow suit?

Of course this doesn't work against patent trolls, because they have no products to sue over. As long as Microsoft doesn't start threatening to sue companies that use aws or something, I have to applaud this move.
