What's the proper per capita cost of public transportation infrastructure?

Wow, this is wholly unrealistic. When I take commuter rail, its a 10 minute trip to the train station, and I need to be there 5 minutes before. When I get off I'm also right in downtown, instead of out in the brambles like SeaTac, JFK or Denver.

A rail line can easily move 20k people an hour, can't say the same about a similarly priced or staffed airport.
Yes indeed, I don't blame Chris for any of this. Given his pedigree with LLVM, I'd believe that if he had his way Swift would have been open and available for comment from day one. I squarely blame Apple's management, a misapplied corporate culture of extreme secrecy, and an executive allergy to the word "beta" for the issues that I perceive. I apologize if it seemed that I was blaming the Swift developers themselves or denigrating their abilities.

Whats interesting is that even if they command 100% of the launch market, The launch market is currently less than 6% of the roughly $200B USD global space industry. That is probably still not enough to fund a Mars colony fleet.

As it happens, most of the profits in space are in communication satellites, which is why SpaceX is attempting to launch its own LEO constellation.

Some have speculated that if SpaceX can't launch their satellite constellation then they will have bet the farm and lost. However, I think people underestimate what may happen to demand when the cost of access to space drops to dollars/kg from tens of thousands of dollars/kg.
I do the same. A few of them got very angry, yelling quite creative obscenities. Some were amusing and I had never heard of. I took it as a an enriching cultural exchange. But did realize they have my number and could do something like what you suggested.
No, it should be fine. But the projects will be more pointed and for a more technical client. So, rather than "build me a thing", the projects should be more specific - like "build me a thing in Redux with this low-fidelity mockup."

'Multiple casualties' after incidents at London Bridge, Vauxhall and Borough Market. Three terrorists still at large?

https://twitter.com/metpoliceuk/status/871152386739404800

Edit. At 0025hrs 4/6/17 the incidents at #LondonBridge & #BoroughMarket were declared as terrorist incidents.

The incident at #Vauxhall is a stabbing and is not connect to the incidents at #LondonBridge & #BoroughMarket
What's hoisting dependencies? I can't find a good description.
Is the "binding arbitration" section a common thing in Ethereum contracts? IANAL, but it seems like participants are agreeing that if shit goes sideways they (#1) can only seek arbitration which (#14) they have to pay for which can (#12) not pay money damages - and which (#9) they're never allowed to talk about.
There are multiple examples of people who are not overclocking at all and have gone to great lengths to ensure everything in their BIOS was properly configured. There does seem to be a real issue here. My money is on memory controller and issues with certain DDR4 modules. Hopefully something AMD can sort out with BIOS updates.
True, and it also varies widely by region.
somewhat tangential, but why didn't you like the convertible idea?
> Regulators are considering whether to ban these messages. They have been hearing from ringless voice mail providers and pro-business groups, which argue that these messages should not qualify as calls and, therefore, should be exempt from consumer protection laws that ban similar types of telephone marketing.

What's the point of a death penalty if not for this?
Consider your looking at fries and it's 30% of your daily sodium intake which is below the line. But, it's only 10% of your daily calorie intake because it's a side for one meal. In that context it's sodium relative to calories that's important or sodium in combination with the rest of your meal. In none of those cases is a line at 33.3% useful for anything.
You might very well be using the software my company produced. I'm not sure how the database is constructed, but there is a query we make that returns the type of call, it's reputation (on a -4 to +4 scale---low score is bad), the category, the carrier network and line type, which we pass on to the phone. I suspect it might be partially created from complaints about calling numbers, or even carrier (one recent spammer call I received came from the "Onvoy" carrier, whoever they are).
You call them. You don't need to literally sit next to them to hear them.

Oh I'm playing the numbers game. Hitting up companies of all sizes. But I don't think it's something I should be doing for all your career.

>While applying for internships and new grad positions, overall I applied to more places 'as total stranger' as opposed to via referrals from friends and received responses.

I'm not a fresher, though. I have been working in the industry since '07. And yes this is how my network looks like. Zero fellow programmers, zero leads (apparently) to get work.

I never thought of the career as a chain of jobs where one job leads to recognition that helps you more easily get the next job. I thought one could do fine just looking for work in a vacuum every single time. But guess I was wrong...
If you expect books to grab your attention away from games--not happening. Instead, make a resolution to stop gaming and stick to it. You'll have plenty of time for reading and other activities.
Maybe the solution to iconography needs like this is Chinese characters. Many of the design criteria -- legibility at various sizes, distinctness, adaptability to different layouts and colors -- are readily met.

Two character combinations for some of the McDonald's symbology can be kind of complicated, though:

脂肪 zhīfáng = fat

醣類 tánglèi = carbohydrates

熱量 rèliàng = calories

I will wholeheartedly echo the sibling's suggestion for beets (http://beets.io/).

No music makes it into my collection unless it's been imported via beets. It has a powerful import/query/alter API, sufficient config options, and a nice plugin system.
When I've bought mortgages, I was required by law to sign a document that says "I have read and understood these loan documents." I've seen many people in the newspaper complaining that they neither read nor understood the terms.

At what point do you expect legally competent adults to pay attention to and take responsibility for what they're doing?
I pick up and say "Please put this number on your do not call list", talking over them if necessary.

People doubt it, but this works. They don't actually want to waste resources on you if you are not a good lead. Even the scammers want to be efficient.
Saving some accounts don't suck, they are excellent at what they do. Which is providing a very secure place for your money that is quickly accessible and even pays a small amount of interest.

There's obviously higher return investments, but they provide those returns by taking more risk, and more variance.

God, I hope not. It makes zero sense to have TSA theater for high speed intercity trains but not local public transportation, because the latter has far greater passenger volumes. If terrorists wanted to cause mass chaos using a public transit system, they would go for local subway and commuter train lines.
When SF fogs in (which is far more often than you'd expect), they close a runway.

As a result, you experience crowding in SF even before your SF-bound plane leaves the gate or takes off due to air traffic control ground holds. Epic delays then cascade through the rest of the air traffic system, delaying wherever that plane was supposed to go next.

This could all be alleviated if they moved one their runways further apart. I get that NIMBY's won't let them fill in more of the bay to achieve this (c'mon guys, what's another 40 feet or so?). What I don't get is how it doesn't seem to occur to anyone to move the terminal and gate structures back "west" to make this space. After substantial renovations on Terminals 1 and 2 for what is still mostly a ranch-style airport, you'd figure they could do something to free up some space.

And don't get me started on SF's slowmobile, taking you to the rental car center in 10 minutes or more.
Seconded. mp3tag and the MusicBrainz database are marvelous. I used to have a music collection of 25.000+ tracks, and once I discovered aforementioned tools it was an absolute blessing, especially for tracks that that had poor (or non-existant!) tags.

I'm fully into Spotify now, minus the 1000 or so tracks I couldn't match, but damn, does talking about this take me back. Lugging around my 160Gb iPod Classic and still not being able to fit all my music. UT2004 instagib & Counter Strike LAN parties and swapping entire media libraries.. movies and series included. It was a fun time :)
A case of euro-centric vision blinding the writer, understandable because nobody knew the truth in those years.

Cultured apples and wild apples didn't mixed so much as we previously thought. The men that really created this huge gift for the rest of the humanity weren't from Greece, Germany, Swiss or the Roman empire; they lived and worked probably in the mountain forests of the humble Azerbaijan.

In fairness, the system has gotten to the point that logic no longer seems to apply. Others have reported dealers offering a price discount for using their 0% financing. That's not how it's supposed to work.

I'm losing my ability to say "obviously they can't mean that".
Sorry I don't understand your comment, in the first part you propose a solution, but then you explain why it won't not work.

Icons should be universally distinguishable/recognizable, I as a european do not see any easy distinction between the characters you just wrote, they all seem similar to my.
That's silly, because every platform then has the same denominator of 'total internet users,' and you're dividing by the same number.
> I'd love a database or SQL spec extension that provided a 'dry-run' mode for UPDATE or DELETE and which would report how many rows would be impacted.

I mean, if your DB supports transactions, you are in luck.

Start a transaction (that may be different among vendors - BEGIN TRANSACTION or SET AUTOCOMMIT=0 etc) and run your stuff.

If everything looks good, commit.

If you get OOOps number of records, just rollback.
Google Voice filters out most of the spam calls I get, but there's still one or so per day that make it through.
It's just about moving a dependency up a level of node_modules if they are compatible. So if for example 2 packages A and B have the same dependency on babel-core, instead of node_modules/A/node_modules/babel-core and node_modules/B/node_modules/babel-core you could just have node_modules/babel-core.
Ryzen linux user. I haven't experienced these issues yet, but I have experienced a few growing pains with early BIOS revisions not being 100% stable for me, and RAM speed and timing challenges. Mostly resolved, though RAM speed is still slightly shy of XMP settings.

System is overclocked (1700@3.8) and has been up and 100% solid for weeks now. 3.85 actually worked and tried to stress it by compiling a bunch of stuff. Didn't have any segfaults or other issues. Worked great.

Only after using an artificial stress tool (stress-ng) did I finally decide 3.85 was not 100% stable at stock volts. Backed off to 3.8 to avoid voltage increase for now. Haven't rebooted since.

The issues being reported do seem legitimate, however. Not sure if it's the memory controller having trouble with certain DDR4, the motherboards, or errata within the Ryzen CPU itself. All seem plausible. Hopefully AMD finds a resolution. In the meantime I'm glad I'm not affected.

I think US infrastructure and health care are areas:
1. Real needs exist for renovation.
2. Real examples outside US that works better and cost less.

It's just that the people somehow manage to still fail to achieve the desired results with reasonable investment. What went wrong? I cannot say for sure.

Democracy does not mean that "you have to screw in some areas". If there is a way to do it better, just do it that way. There is no inherent limitations of democracy which make it unable to learn, right?

No, I'm saying the market is illiquid enough (or it was a year ago when I was doing this) to write a bot and wait for the price difference across the US exchange and CA exchange to cancel out the 0.5% round trip trading fees.

Which, by the way, are already much cheaper than transferwise at 1.4%.

Mans Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl

Amazingly powerful read. It is simultaneously completely saddening to read what some humans are capable of doing to others, but also inspiring to see those who were victims of the holocaust and how they looked out for their fellow man during times when they themselves had absolutely nothing.

A tale of the absolute worst and best of humanity.
I apologise if the article isn't right for Hacker News, but it's one I posted a while ago that's become a lot more relevant nowadays, especially since mocking Trump's comments on Twitter seems to have become the new popular thing to do.

As for the title... well the original was too long for Hacker News. So I shortened it a bit.

No non-lawyer is competent to understand all real estate transaction documents. But they might be competent enough to acquiesce to the grand stupidity of our culture [1] and hire a real estate attorney. Mine reviewed all the relevant documents and come to the closing, for a flat fee that I thought was rather reasonable, in particular compared to the hand cramp I got from all the ridiculous paper work I had to hand sign.

[1] Consider: the banks, the title company, the county, all want hand signed documents. But we accept computerized voting machines to manage elections.

I learned not to be overly optimistic, but that doesn't make me a nihilist. I think most experienced programmers are pragmatists.
Not a single one of my tickets were for speeding. I forgot to mention that, so I think it's more likely that this animosity is from people equating tickets = lunatic driver. I drive like an old man on the road.

I'm glad your NYC friends are well-off, but different neighborhoods are different. The south side of various cities are completely different from north side. This isn't a new phenomenon, and it matters where your friends are. I don't think it's very wise to draw conclusions from a sample size of three.

Perhaps I'm an atypical example, but it sounds like my story resonated with a bunch of other people, so I'd bet the other way. That ~$50M/yr has to come from somewhere, and if the revenue started drying up, they'd simply invent more rules until it didn't.

You're not wrong about the carelessness, but given that I make sure to be careful where it matters, are you sure you want to reward the behavior you're defending? A life of papers and registrations, dotted i's and crossed t's is pretty annoying.

Yes, my plates were expired for one day, and I got a $60 ticket for it. Yep, I was somehow parked in a tow zone (that someone else tried to park in too, and I see multiple cars per month fall into the same trap) and so I got to pay over $400 when all was said and done. Yep, I turned left at a green light when there was no oncoming traffic even though the damn thing was marked "don't turn left without an arrow" and a cop was watching it like a hawk just to meet their quota.

Does that make it all my fault? Maybe. You can think what you want, but at least you aren't analyzed daily for any vulnerable patterns in your behavior to exploit.
are you talking about the october revolution or all of the fall of the soviet union or the revolutions in the soviet friendly states? because none of those fit first-world (literally) or western.
High frame rates are beautiful. Gamers have known that for a long time and are obsessive about fps. The guy that did that amazing full motion video on a 1981 PC talks about doing experiments. And found that high frame rates were much more important than the image resolution. And had some nice examples of high res but choppy video next to high frame rate video with crap resolution. He somehow got 60 fps video on that ancient hardware and it looked acceptable.

Exactly this! My political views may be on the extreme side, but I want to work with all kinds of people regardless of their political views, because it is humanizing and there is so much common ground. If ignoring a subject allows that it seems worth it to me.
Thanks for the references - I'll look into them, I'm definitely interested in multi-tool workflows given my experience (systems programmers aren't necessarily mathematicians). If only the systems programmer could be pointed at tools that don't have horrible false positive rates ... ;)
The problem is, we do. Telegram, LINE, 2fa on many sites, banks, they all want my phone number. They require it. I already use a google voice number, but that still doesn't solve it all (still getting tons of bot voicemails)
The thing is that the nihilist and optimist are not different persons but different mindsets and that in some circumstances, one or the other is right.

Sometimes, management dooms a project and as a programmer there is only so much you can do to make it forward. Interestingly, poor technical quality does not prevent a project from being commercially successful.

Other times, especially at the start of a project, or as a project manager, you have the ability of making it right. Do not pass on it! Have some realistic expectations about how far people will go with recommendations and best practices, but recognize opportunities to improve a design, as they are rare and valuable.

tl;dr: be the nihilist 95% of the time, but do not miss the optimist's opportunity that will happen 5% of the time!
I was just thinking that hey, here we are where a SpaceX landing has only 46 points in 2 hours. It's really cool to see it become routine.
The town should basically be a cryptoanarchist haven. We could put in servers, run fiber optic lines, set up mesh networks, the possibilities are endless. Basically if we're the local government, we don't have to deal with the red tape involved with having a local government
It's normal in Europe. I've never paid the sticker price for a car.
I believe this sentiment is spot on. Musks myopic focus on Mars has always been puzzling to me. There are vast fortunes to be made in many areas, the easiest, most immediate in my view is orbital tourism to inflatable habitat destinations. Current falcon, not even heavy is sufficient, lift here.

Also, when dream chaser becomes operational, there will be a strong sense of REAL progress.

Edit to clarify, I'm referring to the drastic cost reduction reusability gives to reaching orbit, as the parent of this post says. I am saying there are a lot of other desirable, profitable ventures, other than settling Mars, that cheap access to space makes achievable.
Would love to see last month's stats (and if possible frameworks as well)
Thanks for the constructive criticism! I pretty much expected someone to tear my code to shreds. I'll have an updated contract by the end of this weekend, and have it up for review on GitHub before we launch the new contract.
It's quite simple, I work for a multinational company with offices in about 100 counties. Add 20 or so countries in Europe which are easy enough to visit for a weekend break and 50 is quite a small number. Most people I know have visited at least 10 counties in the last 10 years, and many have visited 20+, just for tourist purposes
Late reply. Not sure if you will see this, but think of it as the part of the government that doesn't change with the new administration. That is very much simplified, but gives you some idea.

You think some greenhorn administration comes in and says how things are done? No, the deep state makes the rules. They know the game, they have played it forever, they make the rules. What changes every four years is just a facade.
