>Yet millennial suburbanites want a new kind of landscape. They want breathing room but disdain the energy wastefulness, visual monotony and social conformity of postwar manufactured neighborhoods.

That's a hell of a claim, and no evidence whatsoever is provided for it. Could it be that the New York Times writers are projecting their slavish political devotion onto the rest of us?

Once we're all married with school-age kids, we will choose to move out to the plain, boring suburbs just like the generations before us. You might keep wasting your time with composting, but almost nobody is going to let "sustainability" actually detract from their quality of life.

The only reason why people in other countries don't make that same choice is that they're not really allowed to, because of development laws, high fuel taxes, and so forth.
Isn't the exact point of a credit service that they sell your personal information (credit history) to companies to use for the purpose of extending credit?
That is not, in fact, why Torba was removed from the YC network. He was removed for hostile trolling of other YC founders.

The thread that immediately precipitated his removal is still online; you can just go look at it:

(It's buried under Anisa Mirza's reply).

Unless it's your claim that trolling is a political stance deserving of protection, in which case we can all just agree to disagree about our definitions and move on, his support for Trump was not the problem here.
Not sure if this is your company or not, but if it is please get rid of the greengrocer's apostrophe in the first paragraph:

Also, I don't see any mention of $10k on the linked page anywhere.
1-on-1 or group messaging is close to telecom infrastructure.

Facebook posts are not. They're much closer to print or broadcast media, which has long been regulated differently and not in an "anything goes regardless of the publisher's thoughts" style. And same with digital stores corresponding much more to physical stores than telecom infrastructure.

If you have a counterexample of a business being forced to act as a public distributor of any anonymous person's content, I would appreciate it, because I can't think of one. Having the right to share your opinion is not the same as others having to help you propagate it. EDIT: see above updated comment referencing railroads link from Animats

> Rumor has it that the Saturn V only had fins because Werner von Braun decided that a rocket without fins just didn't look right, and ordered the engineers to add them, even though they were so small with respect to the size of the rocket stack that they were very solidly inside the boundary layer and had no effect whatsoever.

Hah! Thanks for this tidbit, I had never stopped to think through their presence on the saturn 5, and absenece on other vehicles.

Not a surprise, given that one has been shipping for 10 months, and the other is in pre-production.

The Bolt outsold the Volt (a plug-in hybrid) for the past 2 months -- but it's still a little disappointing that the Bolt has only scaled from 1k/month to 2k/month.
Daily Stormer (which is honestly so crazy I couldn't tell if it was a parody)

If you examine the Nazi ideology, it really is at a psychotic level of cynicism. They don't care if you are a true believer, or if you're doing it for the lulz, or if you're a psychopath whose incentives happen to align. So long as you go along, it's fine.

If you go far enough left on the political spectrum, you arrive at the same place. (The rapists and murderers were made into bosses in the Gulag.) However, for some reason, speech that is almost as vile from the left is given a softer treatment.

> I'm not a lawyer, however one could argue that Android is a monopoly, iOS isn't.

Uh... how? They're literally each other's major competitors. Each is good evidence the other is not a monopoly... and Android, unlike iOS, permits third-party app stores like the one Amazon put together.
Out of curiosity, do you have kids? It's mighty convenient to have a car with all the stuff in it and plenty of space to park that car nearby, and also lots of space for the kids to play outside.
This is extremely uncharitable. What makes you assume my children do not have a happy home life? Do you honestly believe having money to do interesting and fun things growing up can only be a negative?

I'm choosing to not sacrifice all sorts of opportunities so that they can grow up with an austere existence and get a probably worthless loan-free college education.

You do you though!
On many Android phones you can legitimately unlock your bootloader and load whatever software you please.

If you say "most people won't bother" - that's true, but most people will gladly tick the unknown sources box too for pre-release or pirated apps already.
Ask HN: How would you promote rewarding culture?
I am working on a small tool for Startup/SME to build an award/reward culture. The target market is - companies with 50+ people and growing.

Question: What are your immediate thoughts on promoting rewards and recognition among employees.
All the stipulations here basically just mean it's a decision with no legs. If you don't want autoplaying audio, just install one of the many browser extensions that prevent this, e.g. "Disable HTML5 Autoplay". Alternatively, uBlock Origin and uBlock Origin Extra go a very long way to cleaning up my experience just by blocking any ads. It really only seems Bloomberg has gone out of their way to worsen the experience for UBO users, but that's not news you can't get somewhere else. The IBTimes is another with autoplay audio/video which is hard to completely kill, even with the extension armed. But again, that's not news you can't get somewhere else usually.

I don't think it's the case with TV today. Not anymore. There are too many channels, and also significant amount of people decided not to have TV.

Watching Game of Thrones is social, whether you do it on TV or on-line. Watching a random TV program on a random TV channel is about as social as watching a random YouTube video.
Those articles are clearly marked as opinion.
I said nothing about Wikileaks.
Agree. I think it's fair. I know a lot of companies which state they have work-life balance culture but in reality they are in permanent deadlines and do work in a hurry. They also require more from employees than needed. Many jobs require more involvement than standard 40 hours per week but we don't usually count these additional hours (e.g. learning something, communications, etc).
> All that said, I wonder if any Shoutcast streams still exist. I'm using Youtube Live for the same thing now days (orders of magnitude more CPU being used!).

Shoutcast is still around, at least as a protocol via Icecast. I dunno if it's still being used for widespread public streams, but I know people still use MPD + Icecast to stream their personal music collections.
The difference is that many phones come with the the Google Play store on them, and "Allow installation of apps from unknown sources" locked off. I don't know what the metaphor would be; if a good chunk of cars were somehow locked where you couldn't drive to other stores than WalMart, and WalMart were involved in the production of those cars?
A site's bandwidth bills are not more important than my annoyance.
The problem is that few projects survive long enough to get to the point where anyone can be annoyed by the lack of foresight... so often any foresight or effort on implementing what was foreseen is wasted effort. Often times that wasted effort contributes to the premature death of the project by soaking up resources that could've been used to implement more features, fix more bugs, etc. The question is which is more problematic, the lack of foreseeing the need to change the database or the lack of foreseeing the death of the project due to spending time on the wrong things? Personally I think having a successful project that needs the database changed is a) not a particularly hard problem to deal with and b) a good problem to have.
Who you pray to doesn't affect me. Who you vote for does.
> In contrast, Maven central requires signing.

forgive my ignorance and my lack of 56 minutes to watch the entire youtube video, but who are the identities behind these signatures? The blog post you reference discusses the problem both of users signing their own packages (anyone can make a signature and any malicious package author can point people at a maliciously-owned signature as well) as well as having a central key (used by organizations with employees and known contributors, does not scale to pypi's model).

I'm also ignorant of a vulnerability scanner for Python (haven't looked). Does such a tool exist and have you proposed it as part of pypi's infrastructure? I am sure they'd be interested in that.

I'm not sure how the license file of a product impacts the issue of it being malware or not.

Took a look at https://www.sonatype.com/ and it appears to be a closed-source, commercial product - it appears to have a database of vulnerabilities in some format, but it appears to use hashes of some kind. I'm not sure how that would work against arbitrary Python source code, but again, I am ignorant. I would encourage you to write a comprehensive rebuttal to the blog post you refer towards.
It can still require signed code. I just want to swap Apple's key for mine. As the owner of the device, by definition, I am the sole arbiter on what is considered trustworthy. Executing only programs that I have personally approved (and thus carry my signature) is the perfect implementation of that policy.

Now, I might be lazy or busy and delegate that responsibility to Apple or some other third party. There may be mismatches between my preferred policy and what is enforced by my proxy, but it might still work reasonably well overall. We humans do it all the time. No reason the CEO has to make every single decision themselves.

When the stakes are high and I don't want to risk that nuances of my set policy get lost in translation or when it's about things that are totally outside my proxy's area of expertise, I'd prefer to make the decision myself.

With iDevices, I can't. There's only the delegate model and the only available proxy to choose from is Apple.

PS: Releasing secret signing keys to the whole world is an obviously bogus suggestion. Please stop beating up this strawman.
If I'm underestimating the cost of college then all the more reason to spend the money on something else.

For all I know a 4 year degree will cost $500k in the next 10-20 years. I have 4 kids. Do the math.
Another way to put it would be that roads, sewers, and mortgages aren't heavily subsidized in other places.
Gmail and Hotmail are still part of a federated email system. Email won over messaging on centralized services like Compuserve and Prodigy.
You are wrong. You do not understand how much media is being uploaded to Youtube. All of Mechanical Turk working together simultaneously could not filter all the stuff being uploaded. 300 hours of video is being uploaded to Youtube every minute. [0]

Is that essentially different from buying in to the S&P 500?
Because the largest factor that is always overlooked when criticizing any of these sources is that these articles are not written by the same person. Breitbart is not the source, it's just the host. Each article should be considered on it's own merit, albeit with some consideration to where it is being hosted. Both sites host their own fair share of unreliable articles.
Okay but what's the relevance of expert systems to this argument?

It's time we begin to incorporate meso to large scale structure into neural nets. The human brain is able to accomplish what it can because of the way it organizes neurons into clusters and sub organs (thalamus, Broca's area etc.)

I have an 11-month-old and any given time I put him in a carseat it's 50-50 whether he'll holler until we get there. I take BART now even more than I used to.
Yes but Google can always decide that because of x or x + 1 you are not in compliance and the real reason is your politics but they will never admit to it. Because Gab has more conservatives one real question is google always going to find reasons to deny when some of the same stuff is happening on twitter etc? Also does google get to decide that something say fails TOS because of support of say someone like Trump just not as famous? Does google get to decide what "such content" is? Does google get to decide who gab bans from gab's network or just which posts are censored?
To anyone who is perplexed by Trump (I certainly counted myself as one) you will find that one simple rule will help you decipher his outbursts: he doesn't mean what he says. His manner of speaking simply is not meaningfully quotable and it's part of a larger strategy of persuasion that's actually worked quite well for him. If you haven't listened to Scott Adams' explanation of Trump, you really should: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReKIJvOJDrs
I would argue in that case that newsweek is the one who has severe issues.
Introducing artisan crafted chef's knives with a synthesis of function and design
New versions of Android can set that for a single install. Pretty ok and you have to click through an extra security dialog. It is trivial to toggle and just hidden from users who have no idea.

The main issue is not security, but trust - whether you trust the developer and source of the app. Security (via public key crypto) is still enforced. The real security issue there is lack of automatic updates.

>How is TV better than an iPad? I mean, seriously? At least with an iPad there's a plethora of different apps, and a good percentage of them will be more enlightening than watching the ever diminishing quality of TV these days.

One thing I notice is with TV the kid will sit and watch a program for 20 minutes. On an iPad they open YouTube, they will switch every 30 seconds to a new video, often just showing a random mish-mash of super hero characters with an annoying song in the background. The videos are all derivative, mixing a number of popular things / characters / songs trying to just get clicks from kids. Search for "daddy finger" on YouTube and start clicking through videos to get an idea of the quality of programming kids will watch if you let them.

It seems that constantly being able to pick something new every 30 seconds would lend itself to shortened attention spans worse than watching a kids show with at least some semblance of a narrative arc.

This more applies to toddlers, not older children.
If you're not savvy enough a person to do this then you have no business messing with this.
If you can't easily toggle this then how could I trust you were even competent enough to get that app from a source that has not maliciously tampered the app you are installing?
> The Human Computer Interaction (HCI) community should care about this, but is beset by two problems: people in PL don't take people in HCI seriously because the people in HCI don't do proofs

Well that's not true. If the HCI people actually had empirical data supporting their positions, you'd be a fool to ignore them. But what are PLT researchers to do with HCI claims that are completely unsupported, or whose supported positions are extremely limited in scope? We can't halt work on PLT to wait for them to catch up.

Some collaboration on empirical studies on programming ergonomics are needed. Given how huge much money is invested in this industry, I'm surprised more effort isn't put into this.
IANAL but:

"Additional Grant of Patent Rights Version 2
...
The license granted hereunder will terminate, automatically and without notice,
if you (or any of your subsidiaries, corporate affiliates or agents) initiate
directly or indirectly, or take a direct financial interest in, any Patent
Assertion"

Seems clear to me that you lose the license to use React. The clause that terminates the license is contained in a grant of rights, but the license it refers to, is the license to which this grant of rights is an "addition".

Moreover:

"A "Patent Assertion" is any lawsuit or other action alleging direct, indirect,
or contributory infringement or inducement to infringe any patent, including a
cross-claim or counterclaim."

The "other action" is pretty broad and might as well include "use your patents in any way that goes against the interests of Facebook".

Reading legal documents with a benevolent attitude towards the claims, intentions and goals of the issuer is a pretty bad idea. If anyone decides they won't ever have or deal with patents and thus they are free of danger, that risk is up to them; but don't do it because you think the clauses only cover a narrow and unlikely set of situations.
Remember, pricing has as much to do with signaling as it does with basic economics.

Suburbs aren’t necessarily low density, though they usually are. In places like New York, many “suburbs” are just small satellite cities well connected to the downtown core with rail.
This matches a performance pattern I have observed: the
standard C libraries under Linux have very fast memory
allocation compared to Apple platforms.

A couple of releases ago Apple rewrote their C runtime (loader, memory manager, etc--all the stuff that's needed to bootstrap a typical process) in C++. Because it didn't yet have suppressions, you got to see the horror show every time you ran Valgrind.

C++ isn't intrinsically slower than C. But whoever decided to rewrite it in C++ obviously had some very misguided, overly complicated conceptions about how to approach things. The smart thing would have been to stick to C, which makes you think twice (and more) whenever you feel compelled to implement some grandiose cathedral of abstraction and indirection.

While admirable, it's going to take incremental steps to get there. Please ask your representative (if you live in the US) to co-sponsor or support Elizabeth Warren's FREE Act and Equal Employment for All Act:

"I Introduced the Freedom from Equifax Exploitation (FREE) Act with Senator Brian Schatz. Our bill gives you more control of your data. Companies like Equifax make billions selling access to your data without your consent, then charge you if you want to stop them. It's nuts. The FREE Act lets you freeze – and unfreeze – access to your credit file at no cost. It's like a free Do Not Call list for your credit data. The idea behind our bill is simple: Equifax doesn't pay you when they sell your data. You shouldn't have to pay them to stop selling it."

"I also reintroduced the Equal Employment for All Act to prevent employers from asking job applicants for their credit histories. Credit reports are already riddled with errors. The Equifax hack will make it worse. Inaccurate reports shouldn't hurt your job chances. Bad credit doesn’t make you a bad employee. Workers should compete on the merits, not on their credit scores."

Django has an ALLOWED_HOSTS setting, which must be provided even in debug and test configurations. I'm surprised Wordpress doesn't have a similar setting; accepting any arbitrary Host can only cause trouble (at least for those uninformed sites which don't already prevent it at the web server level).
This is a good point, but also suggestive of the needed remedy being something other than "force the play store open" more akin to "ensure the underlying platforms are more open."

I have much more problem with forcing someone to distribute things than I do with forcing them to allow other distribution methods.
