> Gamma neutron sources inevitably have two problems. First, the gamma emitter is short-lived. Sb-124 has a 60 day half-life which meant that it had to be periodically reactivated in a reactor. Second, the gamma source presents an exposure hazard that requires lead shielding.

A family member was working in a facility selling Californium-252, a strong neutron emitter. So gamma sources might be awkward to work with but these things are not exactly fun to work with either.

It's probably the most expensive commercially sold substance on earth ($20M+ / gram). The half life is only 2 years. Now that's a nice revenue stream, well as long as Oak Ridge keeps its reactor going and there are enough customers out there.

Also due to being a strong neutron emitter, it has a ridiculous amount of shielding. Lead won't work for it like it does for gamma rays, but things like polyethylene work well. So there would be lots of it, even for a tiny amount like a tiny fraction of a gram.
You have not established that being a syntactic machine rules out semantics. The use of phrases like 'no more than' and 'purely' do not make the case; instead, their validity here is dependent on the premise.
What do you mean by "stylistic deficiencies?" What fraction of the deficiencies is the coder equivalent of semantic quibbling (e.g. naming things or differences of opinion that have trivial impact on the code) versus something relevant?

Seems to me this is an opportunity for you as a senior developer to exercise some leadership: convene the team for a review and discussion about the style guides. The focus ought to be reinforcing alignment on the purpose of the guides, expectations about following them, and evaluating the items in them for relevance and importance.

> undeveloped land is not very useful

I love hiking in redwood forests. I love peace and quiet. I love not having to deal with traffic. So I think undeveloped land is very useful.
That is a pretty good counterargument, and I do think that you should count that risk when evaluating Google's security.

But I think there are lots of other options besides ProtonMail that will do the same. (I pay $50/year for Pobox.com, personally, and vaguely feel like paying a bit of money for my email instead of relying on a free service is worthwhile.)

> People move here because they like yards and redwood trees and vineyards and hiking trail

no, they want jobs. you can get outdoors anywhere in the US, but only a few places in the US actually have a super vibrant economy.

and NOTHING precludes turning SF into a stack of 120-story high-density towers apartments for all family types and leaving the redwoods and grassy fields alone.

nothing but the unwillingness to go density, thus ensuring the grassy fields will slowly be turned into cookie cutter suburbs

Ask HN: Have you relocated from the Bay Area to another tech hub?
To accompany the current discussion about SV's housing frustrations- have you relocated to another city that has a substantial amount of tech jobs?

Preferably stories besides Seattle, Austin, or New York would be interesting- wondering if any Bay Area hackers have actually moved to Raleigh RTP, or any other secondary / tertiary tech hubs that don't get as much coverage.
Speaking of 2007, remember how hyped motion controls were? Remember how excited we got when we saw people "bowling" and "boxing" on Wii Sports? Remember the thrill of booting up LoZ Twilight Princess for the first time? Remember that first sword swing that was blocked on screen even as your real-life arm kept swinging, undaunted but by a pithy vibration?

I remember other people feeling that way yes, but for myself and some others it felt like a big set a gimmicks. Motion control on the Wii wasn’t really motion control, it was wiggle control; I remember complaining years ago motion control would only be really interesting what it was 1:1.

I don’t feel that way about VR this time. Virtual reality is rough and it’s it’s in its early stages in terms of hardware, software, and the user experience, but it has so much potential. If anything VR right now reminds me of games back of the time of Wolfenstein and Doom, and I’m pretty excited. Having said that I’m not buying first generation VR gear, I put in my time with early computers. My generation two or three though I expected things are gonna be pretty damn interesting. I’m not a particularly optimistic person, but I am genuinely optimistic about this. I don’t think full immersion is required for VR and especially AR to change the game.
She's so good at security, no one knows she's not a man.

That's a significant part of the problem right there.
The lack of affordable housing is strangling the middle class (typical worker type) in every major city in the UK and Canada too, it’s nothing to do with SV specifically, yes that lead to the higher population but other cities have had their own industries. The real problem is interest rates are low in all these countries and speculation means people will borrow like crazy to keep on increasing the prices. We also allow it to be fine for one person to own 1000 homes while local authorities in some cases limit supply.
Yeah, not so much any more. Most mortgages being underwritten today are with downpayments in the 3% to 5% region, trending down from under 10%.
It makes sense for artists to concentrate on the details of how games look, and this article provides some good insight into that world.

But using stark moral terms for aesthetic judgements seems rather insular at best. When I think about games like Minecraft, Factorio, RimWorld, and so on, I wonder if maybe imitating movie-quality graphics is really as important as the author thinks it is? It's only a small part of the experience.
What about Melbourne?
Curious about this, is there some sort of study I can read?
>>You can vote out the government.

My problem is that in my specific case, I can't. I lived here for 8 years but because I don't have a British passport, I cannot vote this government out. The government here does not represent me or care about me - so the only way I can take care of my own future is by voting with my wallet - and I would rather trust google with my data than the UK government. I do see your general point though.
I feel like if you want to control what gets built on a certain parcel of land, you should own it. If you want to keep those apple orchards around, make a better offer when a developer tries to buy them out.
>The SFBay area is desirable precisely because it is not (yet) dense.

False. San Francisco has an entire quadrant of non-walkable non-mixed use areas that need to be rezoned and connected to its light rail transit network (Richmond). Density does not preclude green spaces. All residents have a park within a 10 minute walk[0].

Why not just have the state put a lien on the property? Taxes aren't payable until either own dies or the property is sold.

It's not very fair to give someone a break on their property taxes and then when they die/sell get an absolute windfall.

I don't use Paw (I'm a Linux-on-the-desktop user) and I have no idea who they are but a one-time $50 cost doesn't bother me if it's something that is a key tool for my job and is demonstrably better than its competitors in the market.

In other words, if it's good enough for me to spend $20 on a license, it's good enough for me to spend $50.

Did he sell to government, or basically anybody could buy isotopes just like that?
Your employability is also going to be dependent on if you're willing to relocate and what you are willing to accept for a salary. I think you should land fine as long as you've got decent "emotional intelligence"/teamwork/sociability skills and you are willing to accept starting off at place that isn't necessarily perfect for you, but good enough.

Experience is what it all boils down to, and it sounds like you've got nice set of experiences to draw from which might set you apart from other candidates.

Hmmm, it is a completely different situation, normally in the US someone that is in IT also has a huge college/university debt that he/she should re-pay.

And besides - probably not so relevant when you are young and fit - somehow you have to consider the social assistance (healthcare before anything else) that Germany (or most EU countries) offers to their citizens (compared to the US provided ones, which is - I believe - 0 or nearly 0).

Before or later you won't probably be a single, unmarried person with 0 children, and I believe that "social" states such as Germany offer a number of advantages when it comes to children's costs, so a good "tactic" would be:

1) be born in Germany

2) study there (for free or almost free)

3) as soon as you are fit to earn a decent wage, emigrate somehow to the US getting a highly paid job in IT

4) stay there for ten years or so, living modestly so that you can maximize your savings

5) when the time comes for marriage, go back to Germany (hopefully in the meantime you will have enough experience as to find easily a well paid IT job there too)

6) get the "social" provisions and benefits that Germany offers you and your family (at the cost of a higher than US taxation level)
Banks are among the biggest culprits.

Oh come on. There were no investment banks in Soviet Russia yet the Soviets drove economic growth as hard as they could.

If banks lend money at a 5% interest rate, their customers must grow their businesses by 5%.

So what? You can easily grow an economy without consuming more raw materials and a simple thought experiment will prove it: consider that you buy some paper and a pen and write a book. What is the economic value? Well it could be zero, or negative because you've wasted perfectly good paper and the time of everyone who read it. Or it could be billions because it's the next Harry Potter. But the raw materials consumed in the process are the same either way.
Isn't the largest contributor of COL recurring living expenses. I imagine 60k is probably what someone making a 100k has left over after paying their rent. Not to mention the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you can always sell off your home and move somewhere cheaper to live like a king.
> If lots of people wanted to live in these supposed cheap...

It doesn't have to be "lots of people", just the executives that build and lease office buildings and set remote work policies.

Most people could be ambivalent-to-averse to living in the Bay Area but if the high paying and attractive (1) jobs are there, they'll end up moving there anyway.

(1) That is, jobs working for companies who consider technology a competitive advantage, not an expense.

You are free to buy the redwood forests, pay a yearly land value tax on them (which goes up as demand increases, unlike Prop 13) and then restrict access as you wish.

But redwood forests are a distraction. The main problem is SFH which can and would be replaced with duplexes and fourplexes if the market were allowed to work.

I really like where this is going! I've always been a great fan of adding more structural modeling to programming.

How do you see real applications being managed in this system? The tour doesn't touch on this. The included examples are quite abstract, perhaps even too much as they don't really engage me -- I can't imagine caring about how many times a "length" function is used globally. If anything, that example gave me an uncomfortable vibe of the Node.js "left-pad" drama... Sharing code in ridiculously small units just doesn't solve any productivity problems I've experienced.

The stuff about abstract types and function shapes is certainly intellectually interesting, but I'd encourage you think in terms of larger assemblies of code. (Maybe you already are -- I do understand that this is an early demo and you want to get the core right.)

Autopoiesis
I know it's completely impossible to decouple things like money and economics from education but as someone who obtained a degree with a focus in education and also has over a decade of experience working with young students it really hurts me to know that our youth are starting off, usually, on the wrong foot because adults are always playing politics with education.

The way we define success. The ways we measure knowledge and success in students. The entire system from education on upward needs a good long looking at. Under our current way of doing things (I can only speak for the US) we've realized that throwing money at a problem is not the only solution but so long as delivering "results" is the metric by which grants and money is given to school districts we will always run into people stopping at nothing to meet the qualifications for such endowments.
Double income $500K/year (common among folks who work for the Internet companies) can borrow up to $3mil (6x income). There are still many homes affordable to such folks. For listings below $2mil, there are usually 8-10 offers. For the hot ones, there can be 20 offers.
Ask HN: White label online course backed recommendations?
I’m interested in producing some training videos for my company’s products. I’d like for users to be able to log in, select video content and track their progress. Ideally I’d also like to be able to see metrics such as which videos did users start and which videos did they complete. It would also be great to have some sort of simple testing questions too. I’m imagining something like MOOC infrastructure but with much fewer participants. I don’t anticipate giant amounts of traffic/users. I don’t need forums or formal certification/completion documentation.
Before I build my own, does anyone have any suggestions of products that might meet my needs?
That's true but you are, hence so was I when replying to you.
Maybe obvious, but so much seems to be a confluence of factors beyond your control and ones within your control. Luck plus making the right connection at the right time would help. Also doing well in an interview is a no brainer. Could you make another indie app & gross more money and live cheaply? Bosses kinda suck imo (but maybe might be cool sometimes for a while) so running my own show is always an appealing possibility.
It also depends on which side of the Gnat Line you're driving. :)

It is a frustrating process and it goes both ways.

You need to give feedback correctly both in how and why.

The developers learn to accept the feedback, but it will be a more painful experience for them more because nobody likes their work critiqued. (This is something that I've found trained artists are very good at, as they've been giving and receiving critiques from both peers and instructors from the time they were freshmen)
When a company produces 1000 cars and pollutes a river in process, this counts as economic growth. When another company spends time, money and resources to clean that river, that also counts as economic growth, even if was just to get natural environment back to its original health. Some food for thought.

Paw is worth the money. I have been using it for two years and I really enjoy working with it. The UI/UX is lightyears ahead of everything else I have tried. I haven’t used Paw for Teams but it seems expensive, especially for existing license holders.
Actually - I kind of support that idea.

The financial incentive of being a Macedonian fake-news merchant is partially based on the fact that you can achieve massive scale cheaply via viral sharing.

A financial barrier to share-ability would first of all prevent a large amount of fake from being published, and secondly provide an auditable trail back to real world bank accounts.

For large outlets like WSJ or the other Rupert Murdoch properties who complained about giving their content away for free and installed paywalls, they actually get the choice to opt-in to the sharing platform.

I know there are probably other concerns around censorship and freedom with respect to which platforms might be declared as verboten (daily stormer for example).

Finally - I personally don't WANT to read articles on facebook. I want the updates from my friends and family. Pictures of the things they're eating and their babies or pets doing funny things.

Of course, as with everything, it really depends on implementation. On balance I actually think no-sharing by default might be a net-positive thing.

But seriously, I believe that could be the next revolution in the economy. We had the industrial revolution, the technological one (internet and such). Maybe remote work can be the next one. If it starts happening and large employers start to adopt it, it could change how cities and whole regions evolve.
