A more accurate synopsis is the US leads in tech because of a huge increase in research spending combined with strong use of the scientists fleeing the Nazi's and the Nazi scientists. Every world power's research budget balooned during that period. Spending more on war research without the near worldwide unity or the threat of destruction won't have the same effect.
> a massive greenbelt surrounding a geographically constricted urban area

We have a bunch of parks (which add enormously to our quality of life) surrounding massive suburban sprawl. Within the city, there is space for hundreds of residential towers without demolishing anything but parking lots and decrepit buildings. Outside the city, in most places you could easily double the density of single family units, they are so spread out.
No. Just open an account with Interactive Brokers or anybody else. Or, go to GDAX or other Bitcoin venues if you don't have $10k lying around (their data feeds are excellent and free).
Obviously, the numbers vary a lot, but most top tier firms will start you at a minimum of 150-200k usd including bonus the first year. If I had to estimate the median salary growth from there on, I'd guess it to be around 50% a year, with the rate slowing down as you get to 750-1mm. After five years on the job, the median would be around 700k, with the top 10 percentile making more than 2-3mm. At that point, if you're good, you're probably leading a team (or are a senior quant in an all-star team), and your bonus depends almost entirely on performance.

An interesting downside to this, especially for young traders who get to the high numbers, is that they often begin to treat their bonuses as a given. Once you make seven figures, it becomes easy to assume that your smarts will ensure financial prosperity for the rest of your life. But bonuses in trading are very volatile - I think of mine like an NFL player's paycheck, rather than a software engineer's salary. Competition from different firms, financial regulation and shifts in market structure often come in the way of long term salary guarantees. Over the years, I've seen that those who survive through thick and thin (well, 'thin' in a strictly relative sense) are the ones genuinely passionate about the intellectual challenges of trading.

I could be mixing them up, it's been a while. But I do remember some spiffy videos demoing the multi-cursor thing and I don't think TextMate supports (supported?) those.

I also vaguely remember that most of these demos were on Macs and they were showing off editing of Ruby code.

But as I was saying, it's been a while :)
In order to be an accredited investor as an individual, you need (quoted from Wikipedia) "a net worth of at least $1,000,000, excluding the value of one's primary residence, or have income at least $200,000 each year for the last two years (or $300,000 combined income if married) and have the expectation to make the same amount this year."

That's it.

For adding streets it would be best to use iD (web editor from osm.org) or JOSM desktop app.

Other option is to make a gps trace you can use any application and upload GPX it later on on the osm.org webpage or you can use OSMTracker for Android and make a trace and upload it directly from the phone.
I work at a hedge fund (as a dev for an average Dev salary). The pay for head manager seems roughly right, and we're 1bn between about five-ten analysts with one making most of the calls. ( I give a range because some are kind of apart from the fund proper, working on starting new funds by building a performance record.

I think the article might have some survivors bias, you can't say "I'm going to be a hedge fund trader" and equate that to the average income if you survive thirty years. It's cut throat and people burn out or get unlucky, we need the drop out rate. Also quant funds are getting bigger and must have a pretty different compensation scheme.
> Running `sudo make install` in order to install software on your own laptop is a terrible idea.

Why do you believe that requiring administrator rights to install global software is "a terrible idea" ?

Every single OS-vendor provided software install mechanism on computing devices in use today uses this concept.

Keep in mind that I'm talking about installing, not building. No one sane suggests `sudo make && sudo make install`. It's always `make && sudo make install`. Homebrew not just doesnt do this by default, it prevents this model of building & installing, and won't even allow pre-build binaries to be installed as root.
There's minimal, necessary limits to free speech after it happens: shutting down child pornographers, violent extremists, 0day exploits and other sites that are obviously, imminently dangerous. Other than that, Neo-Nazis and other undesirable/kook groups must be allowed to gather and speak in order to consistently protect and defend the principles of open society.
I'm slightly less appalled now. It still baffles me though, as common sense would seem to indicate that having money and paying 3.6% are mutually exclusive.

Thanks for clearing that up.

(If only i had a cloth to clear my screen up too..)
Dependencies become hardcoded at build time, so any binary 'bottle' whose source package has dependencies that are satisfied by 1+ packages will become hardcoded to just one of those dependencies.

Note that the maintainers response was: fuck it, the users can just re-complile this package every time they install it.
Opera is Reborn
"With regard to plastic bags, for example, paper ones do not provide an eco-friendly alternative either, according to the "Deutsche Umwelthilfe" environmental organization. Producing them requires much more energy, and water and chemicals are used that are harmful to the environment. The environmental footprint of a paper bag is thus worse than that of a plastic one disposed of properly."
What qualifications do the traders usually have? Economics,s tatistics, math degrees?
That starting range is approximately correct, but the median is not $700k after 5 years.
Good idea.

There really is a need to know where a given project is at.
I mostly listen to clasical music, operas, where the UI used by both amazon and apple just doesn't work. There are always 20 versions of an opera, so the quality of the recording matters a lot (so low quality samples aren't helpful). Apple usually only shows 100 results, so you get the tracks of one or two recording of the opera, you can't go further in the results. Track names often have the name of the opera and composer as a prefix and the rest is usually truncated by the UI which means you are presented with a long list of tracks with the same name. And amazon's windows music app is a complete disaster, with its unstructured hierarchy of screens where you never know how to get back to a screen, its screens flashing all the time, and the app was clearly not designed (or tested) to handle more than a few hundreds songs.

Digital music was one of the first usage of mass multimedia, at the end of the 90s. It is sad that the whole thing is still so clunky 20y later.
"Not really. There's plenty of room to build a ton more in San Francisco."

"Anti-building regulations are the only meaningful reason why the housing supply is so restricted."

Prove your claim. The GP is right that there is essentially no undeveloped land in SF; a huge part of the housing moratorium debate centered on the fact that there are only a half-dozen or so vacant parcels in the Mission. This is true across the city.

You're arguing about underutilized land, which is a subject that cannot be addressed with simple assertions. In most cases, that "parking lot or burger king" is a contrived example that doesn't really exist: either the lot really is being developed (and you just don't know about it), or the owner of the land doesn't want to redevelop it (i.e. they're making more money with the current use than they would otherwise), or the land is in a place where a developer can't make a building work (pollution, neighborhood, etc.), or any number of other practical reasons.

I used to believe, like you, that "regulations" were the reason that SF has a housing problem. Then I started looking into it. Regulations make a difference on the margins, but the root cause of SF's housing crisis is simple economics: too much money chasing too little land. No matter what you do, it's going to be expensive.
They have put in work to actively prevent use as root, even with binary packages.

This isn't just "its going to take too long", this is "fuck you, we know better than every OS vendor on the planet"
What the article talks about is not a typical hedge fund trader, but a kind of portfolio manager, that's what a prop trader is more like. A trader in a hedge fund is someone who usually earns $200k plus or minus something...but is more in executing trades and such, not coming up with investment ideas (so not that gigantic upside they mentioned there usually).
That article makes little sense to me. For example:

> Net neutrality is fundamental to free speech. Without net neutrality, big companies could censor your voice and make it harder to speak up online.

Big companies are censoring your voice right now! Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and literally every other big provider is censoring online speech all the time. If it's so scary, why nobody cares? If it's not, what Mozilla is trying to say here?

> Net neutrality is fundamental to competition. Without net neutrality, big Internet service providers can choose which services and content load quickly, and which move at a glacial pace.

Internet has been around for a while, and nothing like that happened, even though we didn't have current regulations in place until 2015, e.g. last two years. At which point we start asking for evidence and not just "they might do something evil"? Yes, there were shenanigans, and they were handled, way before 2015 regulations were in place.

> Net neutrality is fundamental to innovation

Again, innovation has been going on for decades without current regulations. What happened that suddenly it started requiring them?

> Net neutrality is fundamental to user choice. Without net neutrality, ISPs could decide you’ve watched too many cat videos in one day,

ISPs never did it, as far as we know, for all history of ISP existence. Why would they suddenly start now - because they want to get abandoned by users and fined by regulators (which did fine ISPs way before 2015)?

> In 2015, nearly four million people urged the FCC to protect the health of the Internet

Before 2015, the Internet was doing fine for decades. What happened between 2015 and 2017 that now we desperately need this regulation and couldn't survive without it like we did until 2015?

Oh, that would be nice. :)

Rust, being largely of new things (in implementation and and presentation, if not theory), has plenty of room currently to explore changes and features that have little or no negative aspects. I'm a little worried about what happens when the low hanging fruit is fine though.

That said, rust has been very good so far at assessing the merit of proposed changes. I recall a few months back that reasoning was explained, and it assessed positive and negative aspects on a few well defined axes.
Who can help free vector program Gravit with CYMK-profiles? (Xpost from DN)
I just posted this to DesignerNews but thought maybe posting it here too would be a good idea:

I recently suggested implementing CMYK-profile support into gravit.io to make it possible to create print-ready documents with it. They like the idea but I have no idea how embedding/attaching color-profiles to PDFs actually works.

Here's the thread on their forum: https://discuss.designer.io/t/please-implement-cmyk-color-print-profiles-to-gravit/ if anyone is able to help (comments here on HN are also very welcome of course ^__^). Thanks!

EDIT: Mh, is there a way to make these links work? („help“ says no?)
That makes no sense. GP is saying that the owner of the land, whether it's a parking lot or a Burger King, can decide to do something else with it like build a high rise. It's their land after all.

It's not like a random housing developer can come and kick you out just because they want to build condos.
Right, but isn't the compensation a bit of a waste from a commercial perspective for what's been proven repeatedly to be a roll of the dice?

Am I seeing it wrong? Is the compensation really for convincing Joe Public to part with his money for a really terrible deal?
Their investors don't know what else to do with their cash.

Getting rich and doing something with the riches involve two different skill sets that most people can't master in one life time.
Thanks for the extra data point.

I totally agree you can't easily use these figures as your expected earnings, since you need to adjust for the chance of drop out. (And also future industry prospects and many other factors.) Also agree about quant funds being different.
Neural architecture search with reinforcement learning
Here in Japan your neighbour can build pretty much anything they want (within zoning constraints) and there is little you can do about it.

The zoning here is pretty different than in the US though. The government created a national, unified zoning standard consisting of 12 zones.

Local governments can split their land into more-or-less arbitrary regions, and choose which zone type they want each region to have. They also have some control over how large the resulting buildings can be in each region by mandating the maximum ratio of floor space to land area for each region.

The main difference between Japanese and American zoning rules is that in the US, the zones are exclusive where-as in Japan they are (mostly) inclusive.

There's a fascinating writeup about it here: https://urbankchoze.blogspot.jp/2014/04/japanese-zoning.html

In my experience, the real value of the engines aren't "features", but tools oriented at level designers and artists. Once you have a project with 10 or more members, managing art and assets becomes a real headache - and most of homegrown solutions, as well as open source engines start to fall apart at this point.
None of the popular wrist-based trackers have an oximeter. You need red and infrared light for that, and it is really tricky to get accurate measurements at the wrist in any case. You don't measure respiration rate with oximetry in any case, oxygen saturation does not change that fast. The more advanced solutions are mostly based on Heart Rate Variability which shows some correlation to sleep stages. Source: also worked on this.
CPP is not without warts. It complicates static analysis (machine and human), for one thing. You need the definition of variable foo or function bar? Great, which one? Who made the last assignment to foo and what its value could be? Does this ifdefed snippet here count?
I wonder if this is not an example of a market failure (i.e. a situation, where a solution that the natural market forces have came up with is very inefficient). I suspect we could well have much less realtors and they still would be able to handle all transactions - which means their fee per transaction could be significantly lower. Unfortunately, the process of buing/selling a property is so rare and emotionally heavy for most people that they don't negotiate the realtor's fee. Also, when a property is locked into a realtor (he's representing it) then, even if he's the worst and most expensive scum, I as a interested buyer still have no choice but to deal with him if I like this property (effectively he becomes a monopoly). All around a rotten situation.
A lot of people regard it as a solved problem. (Stick it in in an index fund?).

The thing is all people don't use C++ the same way - I've often found myself using a small amount of C++ mixed with large amounts of C written by others - my use of C++ needs to live with other's C headers, their #defines and #includes - my use of C++ is no more or less valid than your's

Looks nice, but doesn't it look like that Opera is tend to reborn every few years or so ?

Still, I was long time Opera user but so far it didn't feel same after they went for webkit. This seems promising, time to try again.
This reminds me of an interesting thing that happened when I uninstalled Opera VPN on my Android.
After uninstalling it automatically opened up a browser to one of those "Tell us why you uninstalled" pages that you normally see on the desktop, this shouldn't be possible on Android.

I think they are doing this by having Opera Browser watch for uninstallation of Opera VPN and possibly vice-versa and when one detects the other has been uninstalled it launches the page, clever but annoying.
Fitbit does this.
Where to Opera get their money? Building and maintaining a browser seems like an expensive undertaking, and yet despite nobody I know using or even testing their websites on Opera, they've been actively developing and maintaining their browser for years.
