You're mostly right. You definitely haven't lived in SF for long.

3. SF has plenty of parks.

4. SF has a few odd neighborhoods where you'd see shit on the street. It's not everywhere.

5. It's really nice to have not too hot summer and not too chilly winter. I absolutely love it.

6. People who live in San Francisco and own car know when to take the car and when to Uber. I don't take my car when I'm going to Tenderloin. I'd totally take my car if I'm driving to Golden Gate Park.

I don't understand the tax argument compensating inflation. A large part of the US debt is held outside of the US. As soon as the US will be printing dollars to repay its debt these countries will find themselves holding more dollars/liberty dollars hence the value of the dollar will sink. You can't really tax them.

Apple has trouble seeing themselves as sellers of commodity hardware like you describe - they never did, and there's a lot of pressure to innovate since Jobs left.

Due to this, they try to innovate on form-factor, which is the aspect they have most control over the product design. The problem is that this is directly at odds with 4) price, 5) expandability and (to a certain extent) easy to 7) spec-bump every year.

So I think it's very unlikely the next MacPro will fulfill this wish-list, even if it seems rational at first.

That something could be:-
- Too many good applicants with better credentials (I doubt this part)
- Landlords pocketing fees from as many applicants as possible. - The tenant is now a commodity, unlike 7 years ago.. There are no regulations protecting potential tenants - Something like a single standard application that could be used across potential rental properties would be helpful
- Subjectivity of the landlord. I sense landlords figure that there are certain types that will stay in the property longer and will keep the property in order. People with kids are seen as a red flag sometimes, and single people miht not stay in one place too long. And I can guarantee there are some unspoken racial considerations in there.

Anyways, I do suggest people get a credit monitoring app like credit karma and negotiate with a landlord to use that if possible.

I agree with this to a point. Obviously, genetic information can be quite informative for non-complex traits or diseases caused by variants in only 1 or a few genes.

The reality is the genome isn't the complete instruction set for what makes you you. The interaction with the environment dataset is missing, along with any heritable epigenetic information. Add to that, our understanding of function is still extremely limited. We still don't really understand how one gene generates different proteins (via alternative splicing) at different rates. Or how gene expression is so finely regulated at a cell-specific and sub-tissue-specific level. The list goes on. Rules that seem to apply to one gene or gene family don't apply to others.

One day, we'll likely get there, but that day is still some way off. For that reason, I see no great reason to have my genome sequenced at the moment, though it'd be reasonably trivial to do so.

Everyone agrees they have a right to say it. They can buy a domain name and a hosting account and go just a crazy as their racist little selves can be.

Both the alt-right Milo crowd and I agree on that. I also think that Twitter has the legal and moral right to say whatever they want to publish on their own privately owned site. However, the people who most cry about the "censorship" of Milo disagree here. They grudgingly admit the legal right exists, but believe there is no moral right to control what I publish. By giving you an account, they hold that that right has been taken away, and that ethically, you can prevent me from exercising my right to speak as I want on my own site. How am I the restrictive one here?

Just that a few teams at google need more CPU power and cannot get more budge than their peer teams... perhaps even the publication of a paper like that is rewarded internally in the company for the publishers.

Every retail investor today makes the same exact mistake. They read articles like this and then they go look at a historical chart of the market. They see a massive run up to present day...with the wild fluctuations for 2000 and 2007 magnified due to the exponential data. Psychologically, they think this must be the pattern of the market, we are obviously due for a fall.

Then, one day years later, after they've lost out on ridiculous gains waiting for the "big drop," they learn that when looking at a historical market chart to switch from linear to logarithmic scale.

Suddenly the crazy recent capitulations just look part of a steady climb with minuscule blips along the way. Go ahead and try it on Google Finance with the S&P. You'll be amazed.

It's also amazing how little it costs to buy them. It's on the order of a hundred thousand dollars. Check out campaign contributions and you'll see.

Policy is technology. Technology is not just engineered artifacts but the cognitive models and social practices surrounding them. Policy is a vastly powerful technology that mediates the social and economic resources necessary for technologies like the internet to be created, have utility for society, and thrive.

So, yes, we need to solve this with technology -- policy itself, technology for improving the creation of policy and the selection of those who turn it into legislation, technology for combating disinformation and educating the public on protecting their rights, technology for detecting and disseminating information on relationships between entrenched interests and policy makers. Networking technology of the kind you mention may be part of that, but on its own it can never be a panacea. Policy will always necessarily exist, and it will never be solved -- it's a dynamic system.
> Title 1 federal funding is $1000 per disadvantaged student. It's an insignificant amount of money compared to state funded education. Any state funding is totally irrelevant because the states will decide that problems.

Total education funding per student is north of $10,000/year. Regardless of what percentage was state vs. federal, without the federal funding the state is paying the whole $10,000. That's the state's problem, but that doesn't give the state a solution. If you add a new child whose parents don't own any property to pay local property tax on, where does the extra $10,000/year come from?

> ACA premiums are a good point, as they do apply to permanent residents. Empirically this would result in decreases in costs due to preventative treatment, but politically it is a sticking point. Medicaid (not medicare, which is for retirees) is not affected.

They're all affected. If someone goes to the emergency room without paying, the cost gets distributed across everyone who does pay, including Medicare and private insurance. It doesn't matter that the person who didn't pay wasn't a retiree; the retirees and Medicare pay the resulting higher costs the same as everybody else.

> Regardless, the point is not to engineer a perfect solution, its to make an improvement by moving the burden of illegal immigrants in red states to blue states. The burden is lowered more than would be otherwise be allowed. This would remove 90% of the burden.

Figuring out how to move the burden isn't the hard part, it's how to shoulder it. California would lose the federal money, but at the same time become more attractive for the immigrants who are currently in Arizona or Nevada, which will increase the amount of services they have to provide (the whole amount, not just the federal share) even before there is any new immigration into the country as a whole. Where do they get the money?

> The inflow of illegal immigrants is 25x smaller than the number of current illegal immigrants.

The total number is derived from the inflow. If you double the inflow the result over time is to double the total number.

> It is far more likely that this would be a minor attraction- the ability to get a social security card is a tiny improvement to your quality of life compared to escaping violence and poverty.

There are many places you can go to escape violence. People come here for higher pay, which is exactly what being able to legally work most affects.

This is a somewhat unpopular opinion on HN, but I think net neutrality is only a mediocre local optimum. We can do much better without it.

Look at Denmark; they top the global ITU ITC ranking for internet service, and how do they do it? By totally deregulating ISPs while setting government policy to allow for competition (instead of trying to force ISPs to follow some arbitrary notion of good behavior in the abject lack of competition). They removed many ISP regulations (nominally antitrust regs) back in 2006 and it worked so well that they completely dissolved their rough FCC equivalent (NITA) in 2011.

We don't need the FCC ham-fist to improve or preserve the quality of our internet services. All we need is to set local and regional line lease policy to encourage actual ISP competition. Every X years, have an open auction to sell shared cable leases to Y different ISPs or something. Now instead of having to force net neutrality, some of the Z different ISPs that now service your house will use privacy guarantees as a cheap competitive advantage.
UberGo is most prevalent option in India. In UberGo you are shown a fixed final price at the time of starting the trip. This is supposedly calculated based on the best route you will take from point A to B. Def. of best is - cheapest cost - by trading between short/long routes vs traffic congestion on those routes that cost time.
But once the rider gets into the car and driver starts google maps, it can show a different route due to changing traffic conditions. Or driver can refuse to follow google maps and use his own judgement on which route is better (for him). In either case, Uber should be transparent and show to both rider and driver the difference between what was initially calculated vs what it actually cost based on the actual trip. But uber does not do this. Instead of they also add another arbitrary/opaque surge multiplier. If at all they have to do any fraud, they are better off doing that "fraud" by showing different multiplier for rider vs driver. Consumer protection law agencies should insist Uber should at least be transparent and predictable in how they determine surge multiplier and their distance/time metering is accurate.
I would wager that about a quarter of Mac Pro sales go to developers, at most. They sell tons more to 3D and CAD designers, scientists (the old NeXT was a favorite of theirs, you might recall), even musicians (who love the "trash can" because it's portable and quiet).

P.S. I'm one of those folks like you who spent his teens and twenties building gaming rigs, and around the time I turned 30 I realized this stuff wasn't fun for me anymore. I just wanted to plunk down some money and make "the computer problem" go away. I became more interested in what I was doing with computers than monkeying around with them in the garage. Don't dismiss developers who just want to buy a box and forget about it.
Is there a better guide to the service? The handbook is accurate but really short. Would also help if it was easier to browse channels.

Why stop at just squeezing them? Why not just cut off access entirely unless customers pay their ransom? It's not like they'll get any pushback from the FCC. Now that's innovation!
I don't think it is really a factor of age, although age will possibly give you more experiences that make you wary. I think it is more that people > 35 often have mortgages, family, children etc. While you might be happy living on noodles for a year forcing that onto your kids is not fair.
In the case of some Android devices I've looked at, what you described is how they work too. The problem is that the firmware path is on a partition that's normally not writable except by signed updates. I think they'd have to be signed by e.g., Samsung, rather than Google or Broadcom, but Google probably has a key on the approved list in some devices.

Savvy users with root can probably patch it themselves, if they can find the correct fixed firmware binary and know where it's stored on their device.

I'm surprised to see all the fear-mongering in this thread.

We leave genetic material behind everywhere we go. 23andme analyzes only a small subset of one's DNA.

The most important thing to realize about genetics is that very few health conditions (and even traits) are highly correlated with a specific genotype.

Some are, but the reason something like 23andme hasn't revolutionized health is because the correlations for most things are weak. 23andme does a good job of showing just how weak in the results. I'm 52% likely to have the eye color I have even though both parents have that color. I'm the tallest in my generation (in my family) yet my genes are mostly for below average height.

Over time, with a lot more data and a lot more correlation analysis with health and behavioral data, there will be more actionable information for the average customer.

As it stands, 23andme is useful for the following reasons:

- the data is entertaining. It's fun to find out how much neanderthal DNA one has, etc.

- the ancestry results are interesting.

- the health results make it clear just how little impact genetics has in most aspects of health. Yes there are some big exceptions, but those are a minuscule percentage.

By joining 23andme you get a chance to watch the studies unfold and plug in your own data. For a curious, patient person, this offers a great way to make an interesting area of science a bit more salient.

>encourage actual ISP competition

I don't know about you but in my town ISP competition is practically nonexistent. Usually it's a choice between Comcast and maybe one other local ISP. It's practically a monopoly right now, which is why treating internet as a utility and treating huge ISPs like Comcast as a "government regulated monopoly" makes sense.

This would be just like what we already have with our local power companies. It's technically a monopoly, but it's heavily regulated so that they can't raise prices on your electricity for no reason. It's also very easy to argue that internet is every bit as much of a necessity as power or water is these days.
>I'm not an expert in networking, but it doesn't take much to understand the policy-first approach is fundamentally flawed.

Why is policy first flawed? An analogy:

Imagine if your county sold the rights to build and maintain (or not maintain) all the roads, highways, and public transportation in your county to Car Company X. Vehicles from competitors Y and Z were then forced to pay tolls.

If government policy isn't the solution this, what is? "The free market" is not the answer.

Bad car analogies aside, "lets just build our own internet, with WiFi meshes and encryption or something" isn't the answer to internet service either.
But they don't have to design a computer. It's all commodity x86 parts. They could rebadge a fast enough machine from off-the-shelf parts in a case that looks Apple-ish.
