So you think, having more retail space, more office buildings, more construction, etc is unrelated to jobs. Yep makes sense... What do you really think is more valuable a block of houses in San Francisco among many other blocks of houses, or if there was still any, a block of houses where a highrise could be built in Manhattan? Note also what's happening in the US is cities are disproportionately getting more expensive, people want to live near density. Jobs that used to be out in corporate parks, are moving, because non of the younger generation wants that life style. This is also why one of the cities that's increasing density and rezoning the fastest, Seattle, keeps having the highest increase in value for single family homes.
I don't think anyone, in the UK at least, thinks the NHS is free. Most people in the UK who describe it as "free" really mean "free at the point of use" (i.e. no invoice after treatment), but that's a bit of a mouth full.
I know about crossbeam vaguely (mostly because the non-blocking concurrency is of interest to my research), but due to lack of documentation, haven't really dug into it and am not even sure what it has to do with GC?

> As I said elsewhere, your definition of "zero cost abstractions" differs from what the term means.

I'm going by Stroustrup's definition [1]? If your argument is – I'm not sure here – that "Rust gets zero-cost abstractions by limiting what you can do to beat its normal mechanisms", then that's not terribly convincing. What it boils down to is that multiple ownership is a weak spot of Rust, as for other languages that attempt the compile-time memory management thing, such as ParaSail. TANSTAAFL, "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." No compile-time mechanism can solve the reachability problem for arbitrary runtime graphs without adding some overhead somewhere. Rust does zero overhead for certain kinds of graphs, but still needs overhead for others.

Is this only cloud hosted? I have been looking for this exact solution, and I'm very excited to try yours, but banks and other institutions will not tolerate storing their data in my butt. It must be totally local without ever needing an outside network. Can you provide that?
So then you need population control on the unnaturally and rapidly-growing portions of the world. Especially if they can not afford to take care of those additional children properly.

from the article "Two other groups are also launching tech start-ups to help victims share their experiences."

"One group of women has already founded a start-up, BetterBrave, that aims to be an online hub for female workers who felt they were sexually harassed at work. SheWorx, composed of female entrepreneurs, is planning an online database that would enable women and others to report unethical behavior by investors."
The elephant in the room is that much of the US, SF Bay Area included, is still reeling hard from restrictive zoning laws that were extremely racially motivated.

Minimum lot sizes, height restrictions, R1/R2 designations et al. were intentionally written into zoning laws so that PoC could not afford to move into primarily white neighborhoods [1].

It might sound like a random tangent, but many of these zoning laws are in the books today, and are the ones used by NIMBYs to restrict new developments in their town.

They didn't used to do that. I feel that it became more and more common the less competitive AMD became, in some kind of direct correlation. (Not that this is some kind of big surprise)

So hopefully the fresh wind and competition that AMD is bringing forward will put the pressure back on.
Whenever I take a picture with the camera button on the left, it shows a loading indicator and the app crashes. Not a great first impression. Coming from a company the size of Microsoft, such trivial crashes should have been caught.
I like Angular 4 but I’ve been having a hard time finding people to take over an ng2 project. My guess is that in a year people will come around. mike(at)edition(dot)io if anyone is looking in the meantime.
I don’t see a lot of irony here.

Yes, cultures which want to preserve their ethnic makeup are racist. I think they’re wrong and won’t support that aspect of a culture spreading around me if I can help it.

That I support certain enlightenment era egalitarian values doesn’t in any way diminish my ability to speak up for cultural diversity that doesn’t rely on ethnic identity.

You seem to be implying that all cultures must be accepted as complete packages, without negotiation on any facet. That seems facile.
> I think most of us will gladly take 30s to install a new app for a better fare.

And then spend 20 minutes signing up with a username/password, storing it to your password manager, adding credit card details, adding customer information to the app, setting privacy settings, etc. etc. No thanks.

I'm with OP here. It is a huge barrier of entry for me to install an app. Mostly because exceedingly few apps should actually be apps (this is why we invented web browsers, but it seems everyone lost their collective minds lately) and I don't need a 50MB thing to invade my privacy to display what effectively is a web application written in html5 and javascript.

Uber is one of those apps that makes it onto my phone solely because it's universal. I have less than zero interest in installing a few dozen apps on my phone for my travels - how the hell would you even know which to use where? Yet another "30s" google?

I dream of being able to tell the file system to be ready for a range of requests when they are first anticipated.

In a extreme, I think about getting a NV store to load the pointers to the physical data, in cache and to not flush the cache until the context is released by the application thread. Going further into this reverie, anticipatory QoS for bandwidth is a personal desire. I'd even like to have a PCIe lane reserved, in my fascistic moments.

Now I'm regretting my wordy comments above, because the explanation I wrote wasn't needed.

But this dream I have to gain programmatic cooperation for data performance is surely not unique to me.

Maybe twenty years ago it made perfect sense to leave the task of resources sharing to the operating system and subsystems, but now not only do many people have a high performance headroom to exploit, but the knowledge and experience of writing concurrent schedulers and load balances is far more commonplace, just by virtue of the needs presented by the crunch expansion of the Internet.

The only point from my above comments that I think is under appreciated by the end users of software and worth approaching, is how much you can improve your software when you have a truly controlled environment. Talking straight through the operating system stack you can obtain uncoloured measurements from which you can build optimal performance applicable to all installations. I may dream, but I grew up with the worshipping of vendor benchmarks as my bete noir, and I have been set against waste created by supporting unrestrained variations, ever since. That makes sense for a commercial operating system, but the opportunity to work with completely homogeneous stacks is something that ought to be recognised for the value potential, by management. I'm convinced that this will be a critical commercial advantage for whoever first finds a solution that isn't a service only but customer deployable.
It hasn't been removed (as far as the changelog says), just deprecated, and with good reason. From the relevant commit message:

- /deep/ is deprecated [as a web standard] and being removed from Chrome

- >>> is semantically invalid in a stylesheet

- sass will no longer support either in any version of sass

That said, it seems that the immediate replacement (::ng-deep) is also deprecated? I get that the decision is mostly out of Angular's hands, but that sucks.
I could imagine them stockpiling chip designs for when they experience competition or sales pressure.
If it makes you feel any worse both AMD and Intel provide cheaper chips by disabling cores on more expensive chips.

To me it's fine -- it's just a method of manufacture. No different than buying different versions of software.

"They are literally charging you to flip a switch on something you already paid for." << To be clear, physically you have the thing in your possession, and you could physically figure out how to flip the bit or re-enable disabled cores (people do try this). I'm 100% for that being legal since it's a physical device -- no DRM for me. But I'm also 100% OK with them doing this to begin with if it makes it cheaper for them to give me their base product.
"If that increases the construction costs by too much (two fully separate foundations, frames, sets of infrastructure runs, whatever), then there's more money to be made by building only for the top of the market."

Building a good house costs a few hundred thousand dollars. Just a lot size in those areas is worth a few million dollars.

Building costs aren't the constraint. Land availability is, mostly due to zoning laws.

"then there's more money to be made by building only for the top of the market"

Housing again follows supply and demand. It doesn't matter the size or luxury of a house, if there's nobody willing to buy it, prices will drop.
1. Yes, they do. Especially consumer software like 1Password or Evernote is expected to be accessible on your phone, tablet, and computer.

2. I'm not talking about OS updates. I'm saying consumers expect their apps to be updated to keep them compatible with new versions of their OS. That means someone that bought your app for iOS 6 five years ago absolutely expects it to be updated to work on their new iPhone 7 running iOS 10.

Besides, Windows is probably the outlier here. People might hate Windows 10's automatic update system (which was clearly implemented poorly) but a lot of people update to the latest iOS, macOS, and Android versions right after they're released.

They could, because it also points out the UK had the "fastest reduction in deaths amenable to health care in the past decade" i.e. the most improvement in that category.

If you take a look at the raw data, you can see the basis of comparison (four major diseases: heart attack, stroke, breast cancer, colon cancer, + overall mortality data). The biggest outlier for the UK is clearly the cancer survival rate, where it is more than two standard deviations worse than average and this has been known for some time. The underlying reasons are complex, partly social, mostly ones of late diagnosis, partly due to failure to implement good screening programmes; reports on the topic vary in their tendency to blame patients for presenting late or for comorbidity factors, but here's one of the more measured, from 2011: https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/sites/files/kf/How-to-improve-c...

Most tellingly, with breast cancer, a 2008 report suggested that if you remove all the women who die within a year of diagnosis (whose cancers were likely to have been diagnosed at a very advanced stage), then UK survival rates fall into line with the European average. In other words, the UK has a problem with late diagnosis.

Note that the UK also has a better cancer registry. Germany only captures 1% of the population, the UK captures 80%. Unsure whether the OP report has attempted to detect any resulting skew in the statistics.

Bottom line: if the UK improves the five-year cancer survival rate to OECD standards - and note that the data in this report is from 2015 - then it will flip its position in those rankings and totally cement the #1 position overall.
Part of the question is if we should rely on a single company for so many different things. A company that’s controlled by only two people.

This is maybe not an issue today, but what happens once the founders die and their inheritors take over control? Children of founders tend to purely focus on profit, and such a focus might lead to a Google led in the way Comcast is led today.

And I don’t want to see a Google, Amazon, etc – likely even larger than now – with such leadership. Ideally we wouldn’t leave that much power to such a low number of people we can’t even elect.
> The only situation

There are many more:

- Caches/Databases that should keep as much stuff in memory as possible (i.e. if you have a 32gb es instance you actually gain a lot from "fast memory")

- In-Memory Databases

- In-Memory RPC/message broker which of course has as a limitation factor the memory bandwidth.

In all cases the memory bandwidth might be a important factor.

I think you are right and wrong. Yes silicon pipelines take $billions and many years to go to from a new implementation to a fabricated, tested, and shipped product. Around a year for a minor revision.

However Intel has significant flexibility on hitting price/performance points by tweaking enabled features (memory channels, ecc, virtualization support, accelerated crypto, etc) and of course playing with clockspeed and power.

So the new x-series for instance has all the marks of a rushed product launch rebranding existing chips (the LGA20XX xeons). So things like overheating VRMs, poor heat spreader design, minimal clock headroom, and poor availability. In fact the top x-series isn't expected to ship until the end of the year.

Also Intel knew Epyc was coming so while quietly shipping skylake based xeons to large cloud providers while waited for AMD to show their hand with the Epyc launch. Only after Epyc did Intel announce details on the already shipping skylake xeons.

Suddenly Intel's talking about desktop chips with more than 4 cores after a decade of quad cores (Q6600 in 2007). Think that would have happened without Ryzen?

I also expect sudden changes when AMD ships the the Ryzen based APUs.

Can you point out concrete examples of home values plunging? Because every time I've heard it mentioned, starting in South Carolina when some black families moved into my white neighborhood, it hasn't happened.
Not that I really agree with their decision, but to play devil's advocate: they are essentially creating multiple products without having to waste effort and resources on creating separate dies, and without you having to throw away money (e.g. selling your used board) to get new features.

My money says that they were probably set on multiple product levels, and some engineer said "hey, we can be less wasteful here by creating only one board." So now you can pay $100 to unlock RAID 1 whereas before you would've had to either pony up before you needed it, or sold your used $500 board for $350 to buy the new $600 board with RAID.

Again, not saying I agree with the decision to charge for RAID when it's obviously included already, but that it's probably at least less wasteful than the alternative of actually having separate dies.
My brother and sister have 3 each, that makes up for my none.
That's a real thing. But I don't hear the anything like the passionate, reflexive, absolutist, paranoid anti-development attitudes and the corollary mental gymnastics from common people. It's that attitude I find baffling.

The Wikipedia article has more detail:

Typically, both male and female mosquitoes feed on nectar and plant juices, but in many species the mouthparts of the females are adapted for piercing the skin of animal hosts and sucking their blood as ectoparasites. In many species, the female needs to obtain nutrients from a blood meal before it can produce eggs, whereas in many other species, it can produce more eggs after a blood meal. A mosquito has a variety of ways of finding its prey, including chemical, visual, and heat sensors.[36] Both plant materials and blood are useful sources of energy in the form of sugars, and blood also supplies more concentrated nutrients, such as lipids, but the most important function of blood meals is to obtain proteins as materials for egg production.[1]

> This really is a matter of what variables you choose to measure.

> For example, the US is by far the world leader in medical research spending...

Medical research companies will naturally gravitate to a country where the medical industry is particularly profitable: for example in a country where citizens pay over the odds for healthcare due to disfunction.

If this is the reason that the US spends the most on medical research, is that really something that qualifies as a valid variable for some definition of "best"?
Agree. MANY small development shops will build these kinds of backdoors into systems because they don't have the skill or the resources to build proper customer support features.
It sounds like you’re thinking polyamory is a requirement.

In any world derived from our own, polyamory would be allowed, not required.

If you’re worried you’d be judged harshly for raising a child with only two parents, as many on this thread are judging single moms... well, you’re probably right. But maybe that’s an argument for a little more support for everyone, not for less support for the more-than-two-grown-ups-per-household folks?

Big data and AI are still naive and stupid for the consumer
Article after article and post after post talk I read about how Facebook, Amazon and Google are collecting so much information me. These articles never tell you how this data is used against me or why should I care. The most they tell you is how this data is used to display targeted ads. OK.. is this a bad thing? First of all, I use ad blockers so I don't see any ads, whether they are targeted or not. I don't care.

Now there are sites that detect you're using an ad blocker and the most obnoxious ones of them won't show content unless I disable the ad blocker on their site. Fine. I will do that. So what kind of ads so I start seeing? The bicycle I was doing research on the web some weeks ago. I ALREADY BOUGHT the bike yet I still see these TARGETED ads where they are showing me where I can get the bike!

These big data companies collect so much information about me. They think they are clever by showing me targeted ads.

They are not smart because they do not know or can know I already purchased the bike. On top of that, I can't go and tell them I have the bike so please stop showing these 'targeted' ads. Bullshit big data and bullshit AI. There's a big disconnect between what they collect and how they can make my life better. As long this big data is only about displaying ads, it's junk as far as I am concerned.
I can't remember the last time I purchased something because of an ad. I haven't seen a TV commercial since about 2000 when I got my first TiVo and stopped watching live TV.

This was clearly rushed to get ready to compete with Up, it pretty much copies my blog post exactly in terms of implementation. Expect to see the other ideas from the repo in there soon.

As I said on Twitter, it's a CLI, literally anyone can build this. Startups have their place but in this case it's such a cowardly way to run a business.

Funny thing is it doesn't even follow best practices, they clearly don't have much experience in the space, which is evident in that they built almost nothing in two years, this is basically a hobby project.

I can't compete with free though, so congrats, best of luck with your joke of a "company".

The 18 core i9-7980XE is widely thought[1] to be a direct response to the 16 core Threadripper announcement. It was announced late, with much less info. It has a expected release date months later than the rest of the i9 lineup, and is using higher core count silicon that Intel has previously only ever used in Xeons.

No, they didn't. In fact, they just recently released 1.6.5, yet another in a stream of maintenance updates to the old-generation 1.x branch.

Technical rants are one of the reasons I enjoy reading this website, and lot of people here like to shit on Angular. But it seems to me the reasons aren't usually technical, they are more techno-political or ford-vs-chevy type arguments.

The term "over-engineered" is often thrown out there, and while that's a hard-to-quantify subjective judgement, it does kind of fit. There are many features in Angular, which do lots of things for you, but at the cost of added complexity and a steeper learning curve.

But one of the good aspects of being "over-engineered" is the incredibly long sunset window for Angular 1.x (the previous, and largely incompatible generation; 2.x onwards is "current generation").

Maintenance releases to 1.x keep coming out, some of which (1.5) add a bunch of new stuff that makes it easier to modernize your design even under the old framework, and to port your legacy 1.x code to modern Angular when the time comes.

Also, there's an well-documented upgrade path, and (importantly!) an officially supported library (ngUpgrade) that lets you make a gradual transition to modern angular, where your old code runs in Angular 1.x, new components run in modern Angular, ngUpgrade helps integrate the two worlds in a single app in the browser. So you can do a component-by-component migration of a production app over years.

As a native app developer (and not a fan of JavaScript) who nevertheless last year joined a team that also has to maintain an old, in-production, customer-facing Angular 1.x app, I really like all these "over-engineered" features.

That's not to say I love every single thing about Angular but I think a.) it's pretty good, b.) modern version is better than the old one and going in the right direction, and c.) lots of the complaints are more like "they fucked up the upgrade process from 1.x" (they did) or "Google sux brah" (whatever).
Which iOS device do you have?
Yep. A lot of people in the thread are talking about home values, housing scarcity, etc. All homeowners care about is quality of life--that's NIMBYism. Construction, even if it adds value, is a nuisance and can cause other problems. Trains can increase foot traffic and increase the accessibility for vagrants. That's the exact argument I've heard against connecting Hollywood to the beach from the people in Beverly Hills.

I feel like LA city government has been doing better about sidewalk and street repair the past few years. It could be coincidence and certainly isn't exhaustive.
