> We need more affordable housing -- nationwide.

Problem is job growth is incredibly centralized into a few urban cores. While property values on the west coast and the Boston -> DC strip bloat out of control entire counties worth of homes are being abandoned in the Rust Belt and midwest as the recession killed the last sparks of industry and never brought any jobs back there.

That is why housing prices are out of control. We should realize that the centralization of work should come with the centralization of living, where we build much denser housing to accommodate, but we don't do that because of NIMBY city councils and obtuse zoning laws.

Affordable housing is profitable if you let it be built. It isn't a matter of needing the government to throw money at building affordable housing. 50 stories of condos in almost any major metro area at 400-800 sq ft could sell at tens of thousands rather than millions of dollars and still be profitable for the materials and labor that went into building them, even at the current inflated land values. It is simply the case that nobody can build anything like that because every city in the country staunchly opposes such construction for both private NIMBY interests and the desires of businesses operating to attract the rich to the cities and not the poor, even when the jobs they want to fill they only offer poor wages for.
Well, that's happening already: half the population does not want to belong to the state. The "democracia" here is you don't vote and never will. What can be worse than that?

At least for broadwell based Xeons with just 2 memory controllers, our main bottleneck is memory bandwidth. And co-processor cards haven't really helped us much. The same memory accesses need to happen. The difference is that with a co-processor, they're done via DMA rather than via memory reads and writes. Intel has gotten so good with crypto in the recent chips that, at least for GCM, we didn't find much advantage to using add-in accelerators.

Yep. And then Filecoin doesn't even sell equity! It's gross. With our company we're trying to do right by investors. We're completely in violation of the SEC memo. In fact, that's what galvanized us to 100% offer shares instead. We were going to do it before, but the SEC really set us straight: If we're going to be in violation of regulations we might as well make the most of it.

This isn't just about politics. True general purpose computing (i.e. free from the walled gardens of Google and Apple) wouldn't be able to block something like this; irrespective of what you think of the politics.

WTF. That explains why, every time I’ve disabled WiFi and Bluetooth, I find it’s back on when I get in my car, or arrive at home and the office.
The concept of accredited investors doesn’t exist in many (most?) European countries.

Private companies can sell their shares to anyone who wants to buy them, and the government has no say unless there is actual criminal fraud involved.

Americans tend to think of Europe as full of “nanny states”, but this is one instance where the United States is seriously nannying its citizens by removing a core freedom of capitalism from them.

It is not just you, and I've worked for many LA nonprofit and public agencies, including some involved in homelessness and mental health services.

I just got myself off the street earlier this month after 5 years, 8 months and 1 week. I did it by 1) developing a portable online income and 2) moving out of California to a small town.

So, I beg to differ. I think this can be solved.

We have the technology. We can rebuild it. We can make it better. ;-)
Yes, and after last elections the majority of the Catalan parliament is pro-independence.
Instead of proclaming independence, a referendum is proposed, which has the support of 80% of the population in Catalonia.

It seems like a better approach would be to just get rid of those annotations. I don't know how anyone ever thought that was a good idea.

But YT should let them link externally. Site's like Patreon are beneficial to everyone involved.
Also, Chrome has proper two finger pinch zooming on touchscreens. Firefox just simulates ctrl+scroll wheel, which is 1. slow and 2. not nearly as useful for the user. But that's not something I use often, I gladly switched over to Firefox again, this new version is really something.

I'm sure selling mediocre, repackaged, off the shelf tech is harder than engineering it. Standing on the shoulders of giants gets us a long way quickly (and easily). IMHO engineering is more valuable; I define value as the expansion of possibilities & opportunities (to sell).
I think you're fixating on the word "fraud" which, reading the piece, I think the author is wrongly using to describe the advice his counsel has given him since the entire discussion is about illegal securities offerings.

So, mentally set the word "fraud" aside if that's bothering you and consider the article.

>But this article is not useful to anyone else trying to make a similar decision.

If the analysis in the article is correct, it is absolutely useful. They key takeaway is this:

>Here’s the short of it. As far as we can tell, no matter what, tokens purchased for pre-functional products are securities. After it is functional, it depends.

>Here’s the short of it. As far as we can tell, no matter what, tokens purchased for pre-functional products are securities. After it is functional, it depends.

Of course, as you note below, Howey is a fact-dependent test and every offering requires its own unique examination. However, as a general guideline this is useful advice for others in a similar situation and provides guidance on the questions they should be asking about their potential ICO.
Because it is fun! But the real answer is: To improve density. Eg, less networking, less power and less cooling and rack space.

My understanding is that IX interconnects at 40Gb/s cost not much less than interconnects at 100Gb/s. And if we're going to connect a machine at 100Gb/s anyway, it is better to be running it at 100Gb/s than 50 or 60Gb/s. We need fewer network ports.

Thanks for sharing the concerns. It's a bit of a tough balance. For example before we mentioned the prerequisites like understanding ES5 and basics of ES6, people were complaining that we don't make the assumed knowledge clear. Before we used ES6, people were complaining our code doesn't look like the ones they see in examples and docs for other libraries. Et cetera. Somebody always is upset, although maybe we're just doing a bad job. :-(

We do offer an HTML file to download that you can tinker with, but only on "Installation" page rather than the Tutorial. Maybe we can unify them somehow.

Overall, it's frustrating that people tell us about these issues once a year when we release something, instead of raising an issue and discussing it there. :-) If somebody told us on GitHub this is a problem, we would have fixed it a long time ago.

Anonymous employer review system for US teachers and education administrators.

Teachers throughout the US are not treated equally, but because everything about them is open and publicly available, there is no way for them to review their experiences and forewarn other interested candidates until it’s too late.

Glassdoor is “fine” except it’s not really oriented towards education, which is quite a world of its own.

I tried to work on this concept two years ago, but didn’t get very far. Authenticating teachers anonymously is difficult.

Yes, but, it's also a tech problem.

For instance, here in Bend, I like to comment favorably on proposed developments, but it's hard to catch the open comment period. I've talked with city staff about the issue, and eventually they'll switch to another platform that allows it, but for now, it's a matter of looking at the site every now and then.

Back to the original topic, it is interesting to discuss what good would a Lisp Machine (or Smalltalk computer) be in 2017? Would it run the language faster than a x86 processor? Lisp Machines tried to be the best possible interpreter, but we now have advanced adaptive compilation technology. A very parallel Lisp could be really fast in a dedicated architecture (see GPUs and similar) but most people are interested in normal, sequential Lisp. In that case it might still have a niche if it could perform as well (or nearly as well) but with far fewer transistors (lower power and lower cost).

In short: a 2017 Lisp Machine should either go beyond the current Von Neumann model or it should do what you can do with Lisp on normal machines but cheaper and with less energy.
> Tyranny is a group not allowing another group to decide what to do.

It's easier to separate Communists from non-Communists, because each of us gets to vote to only one party, than Catalans from non-Catalans. And even though Communists are a clear minority in Spain, you'd be hard pressed to find one that equates "not having a majority in Congress" with "being victims of a tyranny".

If your family lived under the dictatorship, you should be sensitive to what they (and many others) suffered and fought, to not use lightly words like oppression and tyranny.
1) It is a binding referendum (this is what some catalan politics say). It is not about what they think, but about what are they going to do. The binding part is what makes this completely illegal.

2) Some people don't take is seriously because it is against the law (there is a law which they can use to do a referendum like this but it needs support from central government and an open dialog that is not happening)

3) Catalans agree with the law. The Catalan court was who said this referendum was illegal.

In any democracy you must govern by the law. The people chose the government and they make the laws. What is wrong with this? If you want a different government you vote something different, but Catalans are not doing this either. This process is not supported by some independist.

I'm not dismissing the fact that other people had problems, but all due to adblockers. So if you want to read the article, but aren't willing to do anything about working around the fact that the page has problems with certain ones, how does that add to the discussion about the article?

Specifically the comment that you replied "And?" to, I think makes valid points. You have the right to block ads, but the BG also has the right to block people who block ads.

Finally, how can they be reasonably expected to test a custom page against many different adblockers, all of which alter the structure of the DOM; In addition to being actively hostile to their goal, which is to be compensated for their work.

Downvoted... Can someone point me to the HN guideline that forbids requesting an OP to clarify what they are saying?

- is ok legally
- is ok morally
- is ok politically
- is ok strategically
- is ok accord me
- is ok according to most people
- is ok according to the opposition

Tribal and group identity is welcomed and defended if those in that group are at risk.

Welcomed by who?

- welcomed by me
- welcomed by everyone else in that group
- welcomed by everyone outside of that group
- welcomed by some people outside of that group

What are you even saying? Is this a personal manifesto? Is this alluding to some sociological principal, political philosophy, statistic poll?

For a forum geared towards engineers, the quality of thinking here on HN is depressingly low.

all data is important, indeed. contacts are just an easy to access example. I'm worried about countries creating laws, secret and public, that force Apple to hand over my data. Specifically those governments that I spend time in and that I also spend time criticising or protesting within as an activist. I'm worried about regime changes. I'm worried about 3rd party data breaches. I'm not worried about how my data exposure would effect me now but how it would effect me in the future when mining and correlating data to use against activists will be much easier.
The whole point of Deep Learning is that we don't want to describe math behind object recognition; it was the failed "classical" approach where people spent decades figuring out complex features which worked horribly. Deep Learning is actually pretty simple, well understood and parallelizable, and it's basically a billion-dimensional non-linear optimization. As optimization is infested with NP-hard problems, it's as difficult as it gets. It's actually amazing what we can do with it in the real world right now (and we are still far away from seeing all its fruits). Of course, it would frustrate academics that can't base AGI on top of it, but did they really think this approach would do it anyway?
Modern discourse is clearly affected by the "leveling" of communication that a popular internet provides. People frequently interact with very large conglomerations of people, rather than primarily with their geographic neighbors. This analysis suggests to me an explanation for why massive internet inter-communication can be a bad thing for discourse.

And this matches intuition in the real world for different reasons - friend groups formed mostly by environmental and proximal circumstance result in more diverse yet still tightly-knitted communities than, say, a niche hobbyist subreddit might. So you have the opportunity to be exposed to new ideas by trusted members of your in-group.
From the article I linked to:

> While most cycle path advocates and cynics like to argue over the merits and demerits of the duff ‘red ways’ of Milton Keynes, very few pay any attention to Stevenage. This is odd because Stevenage’s cycleway network was built before the one at Milton Keynes, and was built as an intrinsic and key part of the New Town plan, not an afterthought, as at Milton Keynes. Throughout the 1970s Stevenage was held up as proof that the UK could build a Dutch-style cycle network. An article in New Scientist magazine in 1973 claimed that “Stevenage cycleways and cycle underpasses [are] premiere exhibits…[in a] traffic revolution.”
