Well, yeah. I can choose to not use Facebook (for the most part). I can't choose to not use the federal government.

Plus, disliking and being wary of government is quintessentially American—it goes back to our roots as a country.

As an example that just popped into my head, look at DACA: a bunch of undocumented persons told the federal government about their undocumented status (in exchange for something good) and now that information can/will/may be used to deport them.

With the government, it cuts both ways.

>Provincial government is cash poor.

More spendthrift than cash poor. The province has more than enough revenue but cannot control its spending.

>The current dispensaries are run by criminals.

By definition. Just like bootleg operations during prohibition were all run by criminals. Legalization would remove this feature of the system.

>Controls over potency are a real problem in the current dispensaries and because of the sketchiness of the current people involved and their distribution networks, the government would have to get involved auditing anyway.

Again. This is where Health Canada and the Ontario government can step in and regulate standards. They do that with alcohol (hard to find anything over 40%). If there are unsafe levels of potency, regulate the potency. Government does that with everything else in the market. Pretty much every food item at a grocery store is regulated in some way. My father works at a supplier of frozen food to some of the biggest conglomerates. There are insane amount of regulations related to food safety because if you get sloppy, a Listeria contamination of a TV dinner could kill hundreds of people. And yes, they clean constantly, they have to maintain proper records and have to have an on-site lab that tests samples 3 or 4 times a day - and yes, they get audited.
Oh my. You're not kidding about that.

>Instead, one has to find an area with very low ground conductivity (a requirement opposite to usual radio transmitter sites), bury two huge electrodes in the ground at different sites, and then feed lines to them from a station in the middle, in the form of wires on poles. Although other separations are possible, the distance used by the ZEVS transmitter located near Murmansk is 60 kilometers. As the ground conductivity is poor, the current between the electrodes will penetrate deep into the Earth, essentially using a large part of the globe as an antenna. The antenna length in Republic, Michigan, was approximately 52 kilometers (32 mi).
It must be regional. There absolutely are teacher shortages in the Midwest. Salaries have stagnated as healthcare chews up larger amounts of funding. Social respect has diminished while accountability metrics have reshaped school missions. Sure, there are plenty of applicants in Minneapolis, but rural districts can't fill core subject area positions. It didn't used to be a problem.

Also, tenure in k12 typically just means you have to have a PIP before they can fire you (NYC rubber room insanity is not representative).
I think they go back to the early telegraph based off of observations of static on the wire and other related problems (a telegraph was basically a giant inductor).
I think he was pointing out how out of reach buying is. I'm sure a lot of people would like to own that are renting in SF right now but that's just not possible. "Having a roof of your head" and home ownership is very different, offering different benefits. For someone with kids, who probably does not want to be moving, renting is a bad option but the only one in a lot of markets.
It's not like you avoid these expenses by renting. They're just rolled into your rent. You get to avoid thinking about them, of course.

Although there is an economies-of-scale advantage to maintenance on multi-family dwellings.
I haven't heard of one case of a dispensary being run by organized crime since they started randomly shutting them down. People automatically assume these are run by biker gangs but the truth is these are small businesses with some chains moving over from BC.

This was a bad decision by a government who is on the way out.

All this does is ensure the blackmarket keeps going strong.
I think what you've said is only true asssuming that you can always afford to increase the portion of your income that you spend on housing.

If housing prices increase faster than your income does, there will come a time when you must spend 100% of your income on housing. If prices increase further, you will be unable to pay. In practice, you will be unable to pay long before then.
I didn't think my state was that unique, so I did a bit of searching and found some interesting gotchas in a few different states:

Alabama: Must file in municipality where the other party (defendant) resides

Alaska: Easy to move to regular court

Arizona: Easy to move to regular court

Delaware: Cannot be used for punitive damages (basically this)

Indiana: Easy to move to regular court (If I am reading it right)

Michigan: Easy to move to regular court

New York: Must file in municipality where the other party (defendant) resides

Oregon: Basically must file in municipality where the other party (defendant) resides. Easy to move to regular court

And of course the NYTimes calculator also factors in home prices appreciation. This is not really academic; it's fairly important. In cheaper housing markets with limited growth, it might be cheaper to rent because the expected cost of a major repair (and return on that investment) are both so low.

Of course, you can't ever recognize the value of your house unless you sell it and move somewhere cheaper (or buy a 2nd house and rent out the first one, but that's just another side of the same coin).
The executable bit is turned on for writable data space pages?

x86 will allow this if the OS does. There have been many CPUs which don't allow it, such as PowerPC, which had separate instruction and data caches. After loading code, the loader had to make the pages executable and cause a cache flush before the code could run.
>Seeing a disputed tag will make a user do what exactly?

A few years ago I added tags on my site, when people posted a satire link it'd say 'this is satire', fake news was the same etc there were 7 categories altogether covering hundreds of sites and links (satire site, potentially fake, malware, objectionable content, disreputable source, fake story, click bait).

I thought it was a fantastic idea because people would spend literally hours arguing over satire pieces (American site) but it backfired spectacularly.

I got accused of 'censorship' and 'who are you to say what's true or not', so I just dropped the idea. I still think it was great but end users hate that stuff, for some of them the entire reason they're on these sites is just to post and argue about that stuff.

So Facebook could never win doing the same, it just alienates their customer base.
It does make sense for lenders to cartelize and force each other to report the creditworthiness-affecting information about their borrowers to one another.

It doesn't make much sense for borrowers, though. But since, by definition, the lenders have the money and the borrowers do not, the borrowers have no real ability to negotiate when lenders get together and do things like that.

But borrowers can vote just as much as lenders can, which is why such behavior is governed by law. So let's not pretend that borrowers somehow agreed to this system in any way. It was forced upon them, and the best they could do about it is pass laws to ensure that lenders at least had to be accurate when reporting, and had to respond reasonably to disputes. Since lenders can lobby and vote, too, borrowers were not able to mandate that the lenders would have much in the way of legal liability when they inevitably get lazy, screw up, and cause real damages to real people.

The law isn't fair; it's just the best compromise that adversarial parties with differing amounts of money, power, and motivation could reach a threshold level of agreement on. It just so happens that a savvy and motivated borrower can completely whitewash their own credit reports for the cost of a few stamps, and maybe some small claims suits, while an ignorant borrower, or one who lacks the time and energy to ride herd on the CRAs, can get completely screwed. It's a numbers game, and the lenders and CRAs can make more money from the latter category than they lose from the former.
Oh God...
Would not have worked on the PDP 11/45, which had separate address spaces for code and data.
What you explained is what global entry, tsa precheck, and nexus programs are.
Leave the coasts and you can find all sorts of multiple-million-people cities with far cheaper housing.
This is one of the reasons companies have a strategic advantage when they let their CS folks work remotely.
Yep. Since there are no interoperability standard, any new entrant into the market is now going to have to spend a lot of resources on developing a process to reliably migrate accounts and history out of Slack, Yammer etc.
This rant got longer than I thought it would. tl;dr I think that "you just have to have the dedication to keep learning more even when the foundation is weak."

I'm not an educator so I can only speak from my experience and the experiences of people that I know.

I've found the opposite around foundational concepts -- very often you simply learn how to use them mechanically with no real understanding, and then move on. Only much later do you get the epiphany that lets you unlock the understanding.

I found this first with trigonometric functions; I had "SOH-CAH-TOA" memorized, and the double-angle and a+b things memorized, and could solve basic problems about triangles. It wasn't until much later on (in calculus) that I broke through and really understood what the hell was going on.

Limits I learned early in calculus, and found them incomprehensible -- I could mechanically complete epsilon-delta proofs and intuitively apply them to things like single-point singularities or rational function evaluation, and even follow the sin(x)/x proof, but it wasn't until much later (after differential calculus, and maybe even later than that) that it just clicked and I had trouble remembering what I found difficult about the concept.

Same with quotient groups in abstract algebra; it wasn't until field theory and Galois theory that I realized why my textbook used the Z/nZ notation instead of just saying Z_n like everyone else did.

Learning about asymptotes in rational functions was something that my high school did in pre-calc; that was a concept that I was perfectly capable of mechanically executing without any understanding. There are a million examples of this kind of thing for me.

And so on -- through differential geometry and topology and algebraic topology, complexity theory (formal computer science notation is made even worse if you've actually used computer programming languages, because it seems like an alien language -- it's always stuff like "take the machine S(sigma, alpha, q, r_alpha, delta) over the language M_gamma" -- what? In what sense is this a machine?). I can even feel echoes of this in terms of learning addition and multiplication vs. understanding what multiplication is -- why is multiplication associative is an intuition that came late to me, after I was able to see the geometric analog of multiplication.

For a long time my thought was that this could be fixed by introducing clarifying concepts earlier -- I feel like the concept of a limit as you go to infinity is easier to understand than local ones (something like, if the limit is infinity, a game, "hey, I say infinity, so you say, 'bet it's not bigger than 1,000!', and I say 'if I plug in 10, then the function evaluates to 2,000', and you say 'bet it's not bigger than a million'" -- if I can prove that I will always win this game, then I've proven the limit).

But I think now that the progression from rote and memorization to deep understanding is something that can't be hurried -- as a student, you just have to have the dedication to keep learning more even when the foundation is weak.
Yup, the documentation is thorough about this kind of stuff, but you have to know to look for it (and sometimes the only way to learn is the hard way).

There are plenty of houses for rent. Rent doesn't imply apartment.
Debunks? That link reinforces the parent's argument. China's electricity is really dirty from CO2 perspective, and even worse with regards to other emissions like sulphur. The 256 grams of CO2 per km for a Nissan Leaf quoted in that article is in line with the 180g - 300g range for an American petrol-powered car.

That said, this article is way out of date. China's electricity mix is much greener today than in 2009.
No, I understand exactly and I think we are in violent agreement.

One cannot afford to live in the Bay Area on anything near minimum wage. So fuck "The Real Bay Area" and live just about anywhere else in the continental US.
Please do one of these for Canada!
For the task at hand, I do wonder how it compares (and whether it does) with the likes of llsif, deresute or mirishita.
The one time costs involved in buying a house do not refute the idea that renting is throwing money away.
The point of the parent post is the vast amounts of land that contain cheap housing.

Of course, it doesn't address how easy it is to find a job in the first place in those locations, but it's a great point nonetheless.
i know this isn't definitive, but the article does include: "One source close to the deal tells us that the terms here were closely guarded, and that the assumption at this point is that it was ‘pennies on the dollar’ based on the last valuation."
How about the return on PonziCoin everybody missed out on?
It's gone up about 10,000% in 2 months. Market cap should surpass global GDP mid-May next year.

yes, recommendation systems are a very vibrant branch of machine learning.
> Sure, dlopen does tons of more stuff behind the scenes, but ultimately it is about loading bunch of bytes into memory and executing those as functions.

That's pretty much mprotect, though. dlopen mostly does the other things, and it does a lot.
> Reality exists independent of the observer.

How do you know?

delegate is dropping science here far beyond current consensus but it is valid even if it doesn't make sense to you (yet.)

Consciousness is primary, physics comes after and is entirely contingent on consciousness. Humans arise within physics, but we are the "minimum system" that can become aware of being aware, and in doing so transcend physics (aka magic or miracles.)
Good to see where governments are going with tech.
In Russia we've had similar tools available for a few years https://pypi.python.org/pypi/esia-connector/0.1
>Other people have already mentioned how the government runs the alcohol stores and (IMHO) they do a pretty good job of it.

No. They don't. I was recently at an Ontario beach on a long weekend - all the stores on the strip leading up to the beach were open because of the tourists and cottagers flocking into the area...except for the LCBO. The LCBO was closed because it was a stat holiday. No business would close on their biggest sales day of the year. Try buying alcohol on New Years Eve and see the insane lineup because they close early New Years Eve and are closed completely on New Years Day. Or try grabbing a bottle of liquor on your way to your buddies house for dinner in the evening on a Sunday.

Those stores don't need to exist. It is so stupid, it's beyond reason. The liquor is marked-up and expensive too.
How many STEM PhDs/year vs tenure track positions?

As as a civilisation we massively over-educate, but under-train...
They are significantly higher than public schools in the Midwest. Anecdotally, I'm aware that charter school teachers in Milwaukee start at around 25k. Mid to high 30's is typical in Madison/Minneapolis/etc. topping out in the 70's.
Not a voting machine (we don't have any) but software used to tabulate preliminary results was shown to be vulnerable. Honestly, this is pretty bad but not "voting machines compromised" bad.
Oh, you are right, but unfortunately, it didn't the right treatment.
Reverse mortgages are an option too, especially around retirement. I didn't do too much research and I'm sure on paper it's a scam, but with no kids and no one to really give the house to beyond charity when my wife and I kick the bucket, I am considering making my place part of my retirement plan.

Or just sell it to pay rent for the rest of your life. Either way it's a pretty big boon.
Heh heh. "Flag" is terribly abused here.
How would you implement 2FA without making your personal phone number publicly available for anyone to attempt to authenticate with? It's not the same as your bank calling you when you already have an account with them - we're talking about a new bank, who you have no relationship with, trying to call you to verify your identity.

A true public key system opens up each individual user to malicious spam. Given the current prevalence of phone, mail, and email spammers, such a system would create more problems than solve.

SSNs could technically be passwords. The problem then is that data servers need to not store SSNs in plaintext, but rather store hashes of them, just like passwords should not be stored in plaintext.
Median wage is 2-3x the minimum wage.

So housing affordability on minimum wage in most of the US is closer to California at median wage than it is to most of the US at median wage.
(Full disclosure: Bay Area homeowner here)

I can stomach the idea of renting for the rest of my working life. My renting life was good, had more cash to spare, good landlords, etc.

What terrifies me is the idea that I'd have to keep paying rent when I retire.
"my suggestion: Buy a house when you're in your 20s that is affordable."

Corporate charters can be dissolved by the government at any time. Given Equifax ONLY deals in building detailed profiles of every US adult and managed to lose that information to criminals is grounds for terminating their corporation.

At this point, their lack of basic security practices has endangered national security by weakening the banking and credit systems.

On top of that, this company is massively unpopular. Their only purpose is to potentially slander Americans en masse. Make a fucking example out of them so the rest of the finance industry takes notice.
Add Google Flights web-based tool in there as well. Super useful to see the costs of flights in order to decide which places to visit within the budget constraint. Also Google Trips Android app I found useful that shows me nearby attractions to see in the City I am visiting. Saves me from doing manual searches for the same on Google Search app.
Hopefully the US government will do better than the awful AUSKEY system that the Australian Government designed. Every time I upgrade my PC or notebook, I have to download a ton of Java crud, not to mention certificates, in order to be able to use it, and even then I have constant browser issues with particular versions of Java or certificate chains being misconfigured.

Unfortunately, I have to use AUSKEY to transact on my business tax details etc., and just the sheer UX nightmare that it is makes an already detested task even harder to swallow.
LCBO employees will not be knowledgable with pot. Ever try to have a conversation about wine with an employee they are not hired with that knowledge background.

The prices are very high compared to other areas that have freer access. Everything has a floor price that doesn't allow companies to sell for less than that amount.
GData (Google Data Api) – what ever happened to it?
Is there a wiki page or government list that describes the rules for each state?
Same experience here (also CA), and I was able to freeze all of them online.

It's mildly interesting how different the experience was across the three. Experian gave me the choice between choosing a PIN and getting a generated one, Equifax just gave me a PIN, and for TransUnion I had to choose the PIN (shorter than for the other reports) myself.
i really feel the same way. i would identify another niche, limited university-like courses. Something like google's 20%, but instead of persuing your side-project, you just take one lectures, tutorial and a seminar every friday morning (may be a high workload, you could also switch between seminars and lectes every semester). While not much, i would would guess that it really accumulates over the years, motivates you to keep on learning and deepening your knowledge while being high quality and rigorous (in math i think this is really important).

I am interested in Machine Learning and there is just so. much. to. learn. I am currently a student, but i really don't know how to master the life-long learning in these more theoretic aspects. Universities are just made for this. From analysis, probability theory, statistics to information theory there is an abundance in things that are relevant to this field.
I think this highlights how expensive living is and how little income is. If we're going to have a "free economy" without an end of life safety net (i.e. Social security) then it has to be possible to work a lifetime and retire on savings made. But most indicators show little to no saving for most people. It sure seems something is deeply wrong.

Your standpoint is exactly like what you're criticizing here but the other way around.
It's sort of a solution but still it's breaking the letter of the law no matter how we feel morally about "pirating" something we've already paid for. I'd rather see more authors/publishers make DRM-free editions of the product in the first place so that I don't have to break any laws in order to make use of what I've paid to have access to. I am willing to pay a premium rate for this.
An underlying problem is that we really are moving into a dystopian, post-truth world. There's a huge part of the population that is less interested in facts, and more interested in sustaining a certain narrative.

It's really scary when you understand this point, because it's self-fulfilling. If enough people don't care about the truth and act accordingly, then facts actually don't matter and the belief, no matter how false, becomes the effective reality.

Where that can lead and who'll be leading us are the scariest parts.
lmao at the people describing their perfect towns but not sharing their names, reminds me of that one kid in school who has a toy but refuses to say where they got it from. I doubt that Chinese whales would be looking for property leads on HN.
Angular its what you get when a bunch of java programmers with bad taste do what hey want. React-redux is really simple i don't understand why people have a problem understanding it. Please just make a little effort and use react. Angular is horrible and dead and if you use it some poor soul its going to have to maintain that legacy java weird mess.
And if it gets unbearable after 10 years, it's because the market went up, not because your unit went up. You can't just move to a different property in the same area and start back where you were from a rent perspective.

OTOH, I lived in Belmont CA on $2000 rent for a whole house blocks from caltrain for over 3 years, no adjustments.
