Simple, you don't buy a house. At least, not unless you can afford to pay cash. For most people, buying a house on a mortgage is financial suicide. It only makes sense to buy a house on a mortgage if the price-to-rent ratio is under 25. Anything over that and you could rent the same house and invest the money you save and come out ahead. The price-to-rent ratio in San Francisco is 45.88, meaning that a house that rents for $1000/month costs $550,560 to buy. Your monthly payment on a $550,560 mortgage would be $2,603. Conservatively investing $1603/month in an index fund for 30 years would yield $1,122,003 after inflation.

I'm skeptical about the "no one will own" meme. That said, there's no reason cleaning would be any more of an issue than it is with Zipcar today. If you go to pickup a car and it needs cleaning, you refuse it and report the problem.
This almost always goes unsaid so thanks for saying it.

The general conditions of North Korean population is staggeringly bad. Eating grass and bark soup [1], iterant cannibalism [2] etc... When you consider the Prison situation without sounding glib, it's near holocaust levels of horrors [3].

Say what you will about international relations, pre-emptive war etc... but if the moral argument for entering WW-II for the purpose of liberating those in the concentration camps is universal then there is certainly a case to be made for North Korean conflict.

It's admittedly 1000x more complex of course.
Null results are "worthless" only in the sense that they're harder, if not impossible, to publish, and do less for your career.

As a former neuroscientist, I had a unicorn data set of intracranial EEG data, and we'd spent so much time collecting it, that we were determined to find something. I left grad school before we found anything of interest. I believe my former prof eventually published something on it, but I analyzed the shit out of it, even knowing I was fishing, because so much time would have been lost to not use it.

Fishing like this was one of the reasons I left. The pursuit of knowledge and the pursuit of your career don't align often enough.

To me, what's unusual is not that Wansink pushed to keep analyzing the data, but that he was called out for it. Everyone seemed to be doing it when I was in academia.
I live in the suburbs. I have a family with two grade school kids that participate in seasonal team sports and year-round gymnastics. They attend a charter school with no school bus system.

Let's say each ride cost $10... that is $20 to $40 per day just for the kids on most weekdays. Add in birthday parties, saturday games, doctor/dentist, trip to grandma/grandpa that live 7 miles away... and we are talking $1000 per month in "ride-sharing costs" for my children alone. We could add in my wife and I's costs, but it would be silly.

Maybe this service is less than $10 per ride, even at $5 per ride it is wayyyyyy more expensive than I currently spend on a 4 year old Toyota Highlander with low miles with insurance and fuel.
> I'm not sure it's so much pro-cop as it is anti-asshole. The guy in the video was acting like a total turd, and that's not cool.

Demanding the cops be impartial is in opposition to giving them latitude to be jerks to jerks. We demand our police be impartial. It's part of their training.

The best cop is the one who acts the same to the polite citizen and the jackass citizen: no favoritism. It's a justice system, which is blind.

Microsoft could have fixed it with Win 64bit (Win64).

They had done such a step before with the switch from Win16 to Win32 and the help of Win32s. With Win32 they cleaned up the old API, fixed things yet kept it source compatible when possible. Microsoft could have fixed so many things with Win64 starting with Windows 2003 64-bit. But no, Microsoft invested little on native Windows API between 2002 and 2012 - Longhorn (later Vista) and dotNet were the latest hype.

>Playing devil's advocate: How do we know Seoul is the operational objective? It seems obvious (capital city located near the border) but what if DPRK went for something not so obvious?

Such as what? Taking control of Seoul under the element of surprise is the only conceivable endgame for a DPRK invasion. Anything else would end in a protracted fight where US air superiority would absolutely demolish them.

>In the 1990s I remember reading an account of North Korean special forces landing by submarine and trying to infiltrate ... and immediately being tripped up by unfamiliarity with modern technology. One of the captured agents had no idea every farmhouse had a phone, and was therefore surprised that the alarm was raised as soon as they were spotted.

This sounds like propaganda. North Koreans are not stupid.
The flip side of your argument is it accepts the Kims' ownership over North Korea's land and population. The concept of legitimacy is fuzzy. There is gray area between defense and colonialist conquest.
Ah, this makes sense (assuming this is what they're saying).

So there would be one sketch file for the basic components that is generated from the React code, but the designers who design specific pages of the site (for example) would still design in sketch, but pull from the components of the one "read-only" (react-generated) sketch files. Very cool!

While he has a point, the way that the flight attendant reacted when the man wanted his name by wanting to fight was uncalled for. This is a big indication to me that again they handled this situation poorly and the man that supposedly hit the woman and almost her child, was probably not in a good state of mind. If you hurt or injure someone as a person working in the service industry, your first reaction should not be wanting to fight someone that is being abrasive while trying to help.

That has potential, though it may be hard to find a shape that's open enough to get concrete packed into, while still wrapping around the panels effectively (and you'd want to use a concrete with fibers mixed in to help with shear[1]). It might be possible to use epoxy resin instead.

That's a subjective value call. It depends on how many North Koreans are being brutalized/dying right now. We don't have that number, but it's likely that tens of thousands of the hundreds of thousands of political prisoners will die of starvation or execution within a few years. So unspeakable carnage is already the default state, and we already have a situation here that is comparable to Khmer Rouge or Stalinist Russia levels of human-rights violations.

Regardless, the colonial past of Western powers is not relevant here. I am not suggesting a policy of Imperialism. I am just pointing out that North Korea's very existence comes with a serious cost in human life. This might be something we should at least factor in when weighing the heavy costs of destroying the Kim regime.

> I think you drastically overestimate his name recognition; he's famous in the tech bubble, outside of that few would know his name.

Compare to who? Warren Buffett? I honestly can't think of a single person I know who doesn't know who MZ is, probably by name, but if not, they at least know the face and recognize him as "the Facebook guy." Getting name recognition will not be a problem for him.

I'm not sure if he could win or not, but it would not surprise me to see millennials vote in swarms for one of their own.

I don't see MZ as a politician, but I'm not sure why you think that means he couldn't win. Anti-establishment sentiment is at an all-time high. Trump won on it. Sanders campaigned on it, and had it not been for his own party's corruption, may have won.

> Trump didn't win on name recognition anyway, he won on racism, pure and simple

Trump didn't win. The left lost.

The left lost on their own corruption, both real and perceived, and the consequences of that corruption. He won on the left's identity politics and the insistence that anyone who disagrees with them is ignorant, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, stupid, or a million other pejoratives. He won on (actual, not reported) unemployment by a class of people who have seen their standard of living in sharp decline under the last two administrations, but who the left does not include in its list of deserving.

Yes, people who haven't thought about bias before have a hard time gathering the imagination to grasp the extent of the problem. It's not only how you report something, but what you choose to report, where you put your emphasis, how you headline or divide it, and so forth.

News reports will frequently spend 5 paragraphs blathering about their preferred position, include a diminutive and skeptical 1 paragraph section that includes a partial quote from someone who represents the other perspective, and then follow up with a 7th paragraph that goes back to the first "expert", whose credibility they spent the first 5 paragraphs establishing, to rebut or minimize the opposite side's argument. And that's what passes for "balanced" reporting.

This propaganda is no longer relevant and that's what's really pissing the old media off. Through the internet, we can crowdsource our news, and their influence is dropping off the cliff at record pace.

I don't think DPRK really wants to nuke anyone. They just look at countries in the last 30 years and look at their options:

Libya: Gave up their WMDs, Libya government gone.

Ukraine: Gave up their nukes, Russia invaded (I admit this is a bit contrived)

Iraq: Didn't have nukes, Iraqi government gone.

Pakistan: Has nukes, is incredibly unstable, still there!
Yup totally agreed.

Knowledge of NLP helps. Not practicing it consciously but understanding the theory behind it.

Is important to make a connection and pay attention to others. Too many people make it a one way conversation and walk away wondering why things didn't go better, meanwhile they were talking 80% of the time.

Any time you can make others feel included, and their opinion matters during a meeting the better things will go.

North Korea has conducted plenty of special operations against its neighbors. I'm most familiar with the kidnapping of Japanese citizens by submarine.

I would not plan on North Korean special forces being so witless.
During the kickstarter they made a number of bullshit claims: "puts you in perfect health"; "perfectly safe for anyone"; they claimed rigorous testing which appeared to be one person living off it for a few months; they advertise it as a sole source of nutrition without any real testing.
Was there ever a community like, say, Reddit or Facebook Page. Flickr has become just professional photographer's closet. Unless you link the photo on FB/Instagram/Twitter, not that many people would go there to look for photos. Do you go there every time to find a photo? I do go there occasionally to look for open license photos to include in my presentations, but that's about it.

Flickr could be made really useful if Yahoo provides a "make a photographer website" with Flickr backing as photo storage backend. Imagine I am looking for a wedding photographer nearby. I need to browse their work, want to know their rates, and even book time. Perhaps also an option to "sell my photo for use" and even a way to search for illegal usage of photo (it is a concern for many professional photographers).

Me too. Good solution to getting the convenience and complete nutrition benefits you'd get from a Soylent or Soylent-like product but with the additional hedge that there may be yet unknown beneficial micronutrients in whole food ingredients that you don't get from an isolated nutrient slurry like Soylent.

For those who don't know Mealsquares, they're made from mostly whole food ingredients (Whole grain oats, eggs, milk, dark chocolate chips (chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter, milkfat), whey, orange juice, rice bran, sunflower seeds, dates, sweet potatoes, apples, vegetable glycerin, chickpeas, carrots, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, xanthan gum, sunflower lecithin, xylitol, iodized sea salt, potassium citrate, cinnamon, aluminum free baking powder, Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, niacinamide (B3), calcium folinate, lactase, spices).

Only downside is the price but I don't try to replace home cooked meals with them, just some of those times when I'd go grab some fast casual food instead, or times when I'm busy and don't want to have to go get food.

Anyone who ends up trying them - be aware that they taste 500% better after 30 seconds in the microwave. They can be pretty dry and dense when you don't microwave them.
I'm not sure that's still true based on the stories of malnutrition in NK, even for their own military.
Considering the cultural differences, a few pop quiz questions might be enough as well.
The state, inequality and economic politics: blind spots in shadow banking
In principle, yes.

That principle is that I believe that people should, broadly speaking, benefit from their own efforts, their own work, their own risks and indeed their own luck (and not the results of someone else's luck passed on by default because they get shot), and that we should aim for a society where this is the case and the opportunities to do so exist; not to benefit by default because someone else died rich.

As I said, there's a middle-ground to be found, perhaps in this case based on the belief that had you not been shot you would have given to your children for education or other such, and that can be accounted for (on the other hand, if you knew that in the event of your death, all your stuff goes back in the pot rather than to your children, perhaps you'd have bought some insurance against this event). If you make it to the age of 90 and you're still holding onto all your stuff, it's another matter.

In terms of middle-ground, if we're talking a few thousand dollars, it's not such a big deal. If we're seeing the rich get richer in each generation through accumulation of capital and passing it on, creating a new society of aristocracy and peasantry, it's a bigger deal.
Remember that this technology does not cover the full gestation period. It only works starting at the edge of viability.

In order for an extremely premature lamb to end up in one of these bags, either preterm birth must be induced, or surgery must take place. Neither of those options is low-cost or without the potential for significant complications. You would likely end up with high rates of mortality and morbidity, and even if the BioBags were able to successfully sustain the animals, they would probably never be considered suitable for anything other than research.

There may come a day when a BioBag is able to cover the full gestation period, but even then, I highly doubt that it would be cheap enough for use with livestock.
I sure hope that you stay at the best of your health.

But commercial airliners were never intended for private ownership, right? I would say a significantly large proportion of the world is unable to own a large bus and these are quite manual still.
I think this is correct. Criminals aren't stupid. It'd be much safer (in terms of risk of authorities coming after them) to have ransomware where the car just refuses to go anywhere, or drives you to a far-away location, until you pay up.

People will pay a fair amount of money to avoid a major inconvenience, but "my car won't start" is a lot less likely to have the FBI beating down your door.

imo, HN (and programming in general) has shifted from the highly skeptical-of-authority descended-from-hippie culture to one where authority/power is celebrated and lionized. It might be said that the old business programmer culture has eaten up hacker spaces.

I used to think that North Korea could easily flatten Seoul, but it turns out that this really isn't the case.

The majority of NK's artillery is not long range and can't threaten the densest parts of Seoul; while those that are long range will be immediately targeted and destroyed once they begin firing. Then there are serious questions regarding the quality of NK's equipment and their troops, plus the fact that artillery on its own is not particularly lethal.

Finally, South Korean civilians in the part of Seoul most under threat are prepared for this attack and most every subway station can double as a bomb shelter.

Any NK artillery attack would definitely kill a substantial amount of civilians, but it wouldn't be 100,000s and it wouldn't destroy Seoul. The real wildcard is if NK uses chemical or nuclear weapons which changes everything.

There's a good summary of any potential NK attack on Seoul here: www.dailykos.com/story/2017/4/25/1656090/-North-Korean-artillery-and-the-concept-of-flattening-Seoul-a-breakdown

His description of everything was, well, detailed, as I remember a credit card scene that had some length to it. Red Storm Rising[1] was effectively co-written with Larry Bond who is the game designer behind Harpoon. He has written his own books with one being Red Phoenix dealing with a Korean conflict.

> You'll find his political views slightly odd if you're younger

not so much with a lot of surveys dealing with conservatives and youth

1) It should be noted that Red Storm Rising occurred before the F-117 was actually revealed so the book has a description of the rumored F-19 in the chapter "The Frisbees of Dreamland" but the tactics were what was written about (kill other sides AWACS). Bill Sweetnam had some alternate views.
I disagree, many people with a variety of skillsets could have taken over Yahoo at that point and stopped the downfall / changed the culture. Remember under her leadership the email hacking came to light and that did the most to tarnish the brand.

The yahoo brand no longer exists. I think if you randomly choose someone on hn they could have at least saved the brand name.
Are you referring to their phytic acid content? If so, this concern is way overblown, unless you are eating eg a lot of brown rice.

OP, depending on how much protein you're adding, your smoothie is pretty great except it has the same problem of all liquid diets: very fast absorption, an insulin spike and all the problems that potentially come with it.
As a developer evangelist for years, I've found the most important question to ask people is also the simplest:

"What are you working on right now?"

Some people will talk about their job, their side project, their hobby, their kids, or whatever. And you can see their passion and what excites them. If you know something about the topic and can ask an intelligent question or two, even better.
> It's not related to file systems. Paths aren't a file system thing, but simply a convenient means of addressing files.

> The fact that one can cross file system boundaries using file paths also indicates that file paths are none of a file system's business.

The filesystem knows about file names, stores them, and puts limits on them (often 255 code units though some are lower — FAT16's 8.3, HFS's 31 — and some are higher — Reiser4's 3976 bytes).

A file path is nothing but a concatenation of a bunch of file names and separators ergo file paths are, in fact, an FS's business.

And while that's mostly fallen out of style there are still length-limited-path filesystems: ISO-9660 and UDF for instance.

Carbs cause weight gain, especially when they aren't just refilling depleted glycogen stores. Fat by itself does not cause weight gain.

>What's not fair is removing a paying passenger against their will for no good reason.

No, it's not fair, but it wouldn't be fair to remove another passenger because this one felt he was too important to be bumped.

>United could have just increased the compensation until somebody left willingly.

Sure, and United paid for that mistake and then some. But just because they made a mistake doesn't mean the other guy did not act like a psycho.

>they chose to involve law enforcement, with predictable results.

Those aren't predictable results. Predictable results are: "United involved law enforcement, and the passenger left the airplane promptly". A more typical scenario would see him leave way before United called the cops.
