Excellent, it is safer to assume people haven't read up on the science and policy behind nuclear deterrence so I generally err on the side of caution. Given that ...

The discussion about putting the bombers back on alert is driven by discussions to not renew New START[1]. As you know the air 'leg' of the nuclear trident counters the simultaneous elimination of the the strategic missile forces and the submarine forces by an adversary. One can estimate the number of warheads necessary for that to occur, and while we stay under the lower limit of that estimate there is surety that the bombers would be superfluous. In the event that New START does not renew (2021) or it is pulled out of early, it takes a while to recover the strategic bomber fleet to full readiness status. Training, people, etc. Some of that can be 'short circuited' by pulling retired (but still trained) individuals back into active duty.

You also know that SAC air bases are located such that they can launch (when they are on alert) in less time than it takes for a submarine launched cruise missile to get there and destroy the base. Those bombers would have the capability to destroy our likely adversary. Further you can launch bombers in DEFCON 2 in anticipation of an action which signals your readiness to fight without committing to wholesale destruction of the planet.

You also know that the threats that stand between the bombers and their targets have counters in place to insure that their mission (the destruction of the adversary that just killed off the US) would likely be successful.

They are, and pretty much always have been, the "revenge" team.

Which, btw, is not explicitly a bad thing as it means skills and talents will be spread across the country.

It’s why Austin/Portland/etc grow in these areas.

They tend to become exploitative though.
Systems like this exist all over Europe. They are very popular in Denmark for example. But you Americans surely wouldn't want to engage in socialism...
Which company? I can give an email to each, or for the most part they all have careers pages.
No, that's a fact. No one on their death bed has wished they worked more. They wished they spent more time with family/friends/traveling/vacations/reading/sports/whatever. Working until you died is what slaves did.
i think the evolving difference is that the rich used to want to exploit the poor for their labor

increasingly they just want most of them to quietly go away
The bay area suffers from extreme NIMBYism

Live in Denver. This is a little too real. There's a very real irony to the people that move here that "hate the bay" then act, vote, and do everything in their power to make it exactly like SF.
Dense but nice to live in. Good public transportation and on-call options. Commute time is shorter than what is required for many people in the Bay Area.

What do you think?
I never had that problem, unless you mean things like the occasional Facebook or Twitter notification ending up in spam, but I didn't care about those.

Also, Gmail definitely has a problem with false positives. At the small agency where I worked a few years ago, a lot of our internal company emails were ending up in spam folders. It got so bad that I had to go around adding our company email domain to the spam exclusion filters just to make sure that my co-workers were receiving my emails.
Depends where, for who, and doing what.

Working in a big city at a variety of companies and roles is always a good thing for experience and personal growth.
Another fun "like" side effect is when Facebook rebroadcasts likes. This can be kinda funny / morbid when someone who has passed away (but has not had their Facebook profile memorialized) "likes" some random brand...
Well, the interesting part of the electron-electron pairing is that two fermions form a boson, which is what accounts for superconductivity. In the case of paring of photons, which are bosons to begin with, the effect is more subtle; I can only hope that it will eventually find a useful application, e.g. in communications or quantum computing...
I knew you'd be famous one day Felix ;-)
This is so much awesome. Thanks for building this.
All you need is for the state to back up the mortgage. Canada had a vibrant coöp housing creation model from the 70s to 1995. The same Crown corp that backed residential mortgages backed the purchase or construction of a building with a 30-year mortgage, which was paid back by members' housing charges (aka rent). They did add extra general subsidies and there is still an affordable housing subsidy tied to it for those who need it (Rent Geared to Income, where you pay only 30% of your income towards rent), but it could still work quite well without that. Once the mortgage is paid you can reduce housing charges or use the extra capital to renovate/upgrade the building.

Equity is never returned to members, they just contribute to cooperative living. Also, members cannot just sell the coöp to profit from increased real estate values; part of the founding charter of the non-profit corporation which manages the coöp says that if it was to disband, the main assets would have to be donated to charity.
Breaking the law is for chumps and poor people. Rich people change the law to favor them.
Austin is a lot more progressive about accommodating new residents. Of course you do hear a lot of folks complaining about how the skyrocketing rents are destroying some long-time businesses, but like you said there is a LOT more land to expand and accomodate new residents.

Also, the Domain development has somewhat eased the traffic situation by shifting a lot of new businesses slightly closer to the Northern Suburbs. Which is a welcome respite: the traffic situation would have been a LOT worse (if that's possible ;-) ) had the Domain not been developed.

I'm pretty optimistic about Austin's future. It offers an extremely high standard of living on a developers salary. Most suburbs are not too far away. There is a lot of undeveloped land. And the City Government is proactive and responsive to the needs of citizens. I think it can evolve into another Tech hub, maybe rivaling Seattle. For it to rival Bay Area, I think we would need a lot more VC's to set up shop here.

Disclaimer: lived in Austin for 5 years now, loved every year so far.
> Six lanes of traffic
> Cue whining about how pollution and an over-priced mass-transit utopia and high rise apartments will solve all our problems.

You do realize that six-lane highways are every bit as expensive as mass transit lines, right? And that a pair of railroad tracks down the median of that six lane highway can move a volume of people about 3x bigger than all the lanes put together?

Honestly even if you just love driving, you should be in favor of anything that will get other drivers out of their cars, because otherwise the end-state is horrific traffic for you to sit in.

There is no known way to scale up a city while keeping cars the dominant mode of transit. You can only add so many lanes before you run out of space, and long before that point you start hitting un-enlargeable bottlenecks in parts of the system that propagate outward.
You're correct.

DNS-over-TLS secures you<-->resolver; DNSSEC secures validating-resolver<-->authority, essentially. If your resolver is validating, then it secures you<-->authority.

Point being DNSSEC can be used to secure more hops than DNS-over-TLS, but DNS-over-TLS can secure the last hop without any opt-in by the domain owner.
It seems ironic that the land of self-aggrandizing free market disruption (Uber, AirBnb) seems so against the obvious free-market solution to their problems: increase supply.

You have too little of something, and it's causing prices to skyrocket because demand is increasing. So make more of it, reducing the price.

I just got back from a visit to the Bay Area. Outside of SF itself, not a single building over 4 stories tall. All that air space that could be condos, homes for people, anything at all, wasted so that "people can see the mountains better". Meanwhile, my friend and his girlfriend are paying $4000/month for 1000 sqft. Their rent is more than the median total pre-tax income in large swaths of America.

This is a self-inflicted wound. I have little pity.
Nice! PDF is the worst format I can think of to present papers. Especially for reading on mobile this will be of great help.
I thought it had something to do with "vim" as part of the name suggests. Nevermind.
You're right, and the next frontier in genome assembly and mapping algorithms is using graph-based genomes, where differences between individuals or populations can represented as different paths through a sequence graph. (There are lots of better explanations with pretty pictures out there with a little searching)
There are places where money is greater than state. That's where countries that have bribes as part of their governmental interactions - money literally circumvents the states' authority. Having a billionaire politician means they're playing ball with the states' rules - they are not circumventing the rules. They may rewrite the rules within a legal framework - but they're still playing ball with the state's power, not hiring thugs on the street to stuff ballot boxes.
Local city governments have made it impossible to build large amounts of housing. The entrenched interests of current land owners do not want lots of housing in their city. From their point of view, it's only hassle. More people on the roads, things changing, etc. Also it stops their property values from rising so quickly.
The article acknowledges this, though perhaps obliquely:

> “As a matter of truth in advertising, the ‘finished’ sequence isn’t finished,” said Eric Lander, who led the lab at the Whitehead Institute that deciphered more of the genome for the government-funded Human Genome Project than any other. “I always say ‘finished’ is a term of art.”

The phrasing of your parent is arguably dismissive and does little to further substantive discussion. Can one meaningfully discuss "the human genome"? As you point out, each human (with the exception of identical twins) has a unique genome. I think it's reasonable and useful to be able to say "the human genome" as opposed to "the chimpanzee genome" or "the drosophila genome".

If one would rather insist on using the indefinite article, i.e., "a human genome", one can present it without resorting to a rhetorical question replete with scare quotes.
No papers yet, still in (early) implementation/experimentation phase. Currently surveying research about minimal sentience/consciousness exhibited by animals and corresponding neural correlates. If there is enough data to isolate functional basics of minimal consciousness, I would like to implement that as the first "function" of the HTM model.

See this blog post for why I chose consciousness as the primitive to build (instead of say demoing the model's characteristics on common tasks like mnist digit recognition) - https://medium.com/creating-artificial-consciousness/the-cas...

I wouldn't doubt that Walmart, between their acquisition of jet.com and intense focus on competing with Amazon in the e-commerce arena is taking drone delivery services very seriously right now. They are already trying nearly everything else.
If you bought a place even in 2011 your income / mortgage ratio is significantly better. If you bought a place before 2005, your also doing fairly well.
I don't think the people in the bottom 60% really care about this because they are becoming increasingly segregated physically. I have relatives that probably fit in the upper end of that bottom 60%, although like almost all Americans they consider themselves "middle-class". They don't really see the difference in income and opportunity between "middle class" in their part of the country vs. other parts, like San Francisco. It all seems fair to them, because they face the same choices as almost everyone around them and everyone they know.

Boy am I glad I stayed in Upstate, NY. Stress free, five minute commute, little traffic, low cost of living, fall weather, fingerlakes, Adirondacks, no earthquakes/hurricanes/firestorms/tornadoes, and great food.

Of course, now we're bidding to get Amazon to move here. Sigh.
There was local elections a week ago and the government won majority.
I’m just wondering... in which governing scheme is corruption not the default? I can’t think of any in use today by a country or large organization where it’s not there in one way or another.

The only solution, I think, is to have an extremely low tolerance for corruption (and incompetence because that’s often what corruption is disguised as) such that anybody in power would be too scared to do corrupt shit because they know they’ll get put in to jail and get the hole bill put into their name, but such a thing wouldn’t work because none of the types of people that want to be in power would ever let something like that take place because, well, they want to stay in power.
I am not the one making the extraordinary claim that the packaging industry is promoting recycling in order to relax environmentalists interest in solving the pollution problems of the entire planet. I made a cursory attempt to see if there was merit to the claim, but without devoting serious time I could not do it. I gave the OP what I would call the start of a research trajectory I would use to prove the claims. Usually, the burden of proof is on the claimant/ accuser.

Your "analysis" that there are warnings on the entry could be improved by chasing down the supporting citations, looking at the talk page, and the edit history. This is simply more effort than I'm willing to go to in order to justify the claims made by the OP.

The fact is, unfortunately, that Nanopore sequencing (and also, from what I’ve read, PacBio) has a dramatically higher error rate than Illumina sequencing-by-synthesis. In the near future, anyway, I would expect to see inaccurate PacBio/Nanopore long reads being used as scaffolds for accurate Illumina short reads (in fact, this is already happening). Illumina won’t be going anywhere any time soon.

Use the Console to spot check things. But beyond that, the majority of your work in AWS should be scripted using the various APIs. At that point, using federated access or a proper IAM strategy makes that fairly painless.
You should go where the opportunities are. Optimizing for things like cheap rent, etc. is silly. You should aim to make so much ( eventually ) that rent doesn't matter any more
The only situation I can think of bombers like the B-52 (non deep strike bombers) being practical is against an enemy without serious air defenses. Think Syria, Iran, North Korea, etc... Perhaps as a retaliatory strike against non conventional attacks with WMDs like chemical and nuclear attacks via container ships and terrorism.

Shouldn't we at least be talking about working remotely and why that doesn't happen more often?

I would bet most people have to drive in primarily because there manager did it that way when he/she was in the developer role.

Working remotely is friendlier on the environment and saves time commuting. It's also cheaper for the company and more easily scales as head count increases.
Thanks for sharing this! I first read about the "secret sauce" from Paul Graham referring to his use of Lisp with Viaweb, but have been somewhat suspicious. Yes JVM performance & scalability is necessary for some applications like twitter, but surely the industry should see 90% of standard business software is fine in other languages. Is everything really driven that much by market hype? I guess hiring is critical too.
"forced to live there" is exactly the same manipulative language being used shamelessly here. You should really consider avoiding such use as it detracts from your argument.

Fair enough. What would be another way to say that a person is denied living in any country other than the one of their origin?
He's not making a political statement—he's simply saying that a "grandfathered" household enjoys a salary and house value that rose sharply with the area's demand. Newcomers, however, have no such head start. As long as Bay Area real estate remains restricted, newcomers will be permanently disadvantaged (in an absolute sense). It's kind of a classic small-town value: get in while it's good, and shut the door behind you.

In fact, I’d go further and say it’s explicitly a good thing. While there are some advantages to concentration of industries, it’s unhealthy when taken to an extreme.
What makes you think that ants cannot perceive humans?

We show up just fine to their senses, as evidenced by their consumption of our flesh when given a chance. Leave a body close to the right ant mound, and you will have a skeleton in fairly short order.
if you dig even further, like into Enbar's claims on Quora, you'd see that they were highly misleading. if you dig even further, you'd realize that they were vague about who got what- to say nothing of ageism.
Last I used Sphinx, it is tied to MySQL. Is that still true?

If so, then Sphinx could be a deal breaker to some.

For someone who is young, can move around, and doesn't burn loads of money on silly expenses, the Bay Area is actually amazing for the bank account. My experience here has been that the gap between income and expenses is greater than gross salary in many cities. Work a few years, invest the difference, and then ship out when you want to settle down is a very reasonable strategy.
Design by committee vs design by vision. Takes guts to have strong opionions and stick to them.

At almost every company, the primary background motivation is not getting fired. Virtually no one even aspires to great work let alone takes the risk to have a vision.

This is pretty rational. There's just no incentive to risk your neck pushing for quality when you'll just end up working a lot harder for little reward.
Get out, man. The region isn't trying to help people like you, with families, it's trying to help the entrenched who bought 20 years ago.

You may make less money in terms of income in most other cities, but your retirement savings will grow a lot faster regardless. I work on a traveling/remote team. One of my teammates lives in Chattanooga. His 3 bedroom house with I think 2 or 3 aces of land put him back a whopping $200,000.

You may not have noticed, but you don't need alt-backtick if you pause for a second or two on the icon. The window you're on then magically expands out into all the windows that comprise that app. I really didn't like it and I disabled it but if you don't like alt-backtick that'd be your savior.

So while we do differ in what we like, Unity does support both, I think!
Have you considered doing something more organized than a random comment on HN?

I would very much like to see real solutions to some of the problems the US is experiencing wrt concentration of "good" jobs in a few places and them going utterly to hell because of it. I keep kicking around ideas and starting various small websites that often go nowhere. But, I think the internet is a potential means to start giving pushback against this trend and start creating a healthier fabric than we have currently.
Yes. I met more talented developers in a few years working in the Bay than I did in twice that time living in the Northeast. All other problems aside Silicon Valley still does have the highest concentration of top talent.

My advice: live there for a few years as cheaply as possible, work at 2+ companies, learn everything you can, then get out of dodge.

Here's a bit more text:

Votre is a people-oriented diary or journal. You can write an entry a day and mention people in your text. Votre then organizes your writing and lets you retrieve information about any person.
It's like a CRM, but for keeping people, not numbers. Text is the only input and output. No social sharing.
I think it's just easier/better storytelling to use shorthand descriptions based on things people may already have seen. Griffins, Chimeras, and Sphinxes are easier to picture in the mind's eye than Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth, and Shub-Niggurath.
They actively like to block high-density housing projects. The NIMBY movement is strong. Having affordable housing would make their homes' values plummet and they don't want it. So, yes, to the detriment of everyone else. Which is really America in a nut-shell - "I got mine, fuck you".
So much so there is a YIMBY organization to help combat it:

This is not what I’d call hard evidence. This is testimony, by people whose careers depend on saying there was interference. Fact of the matter is, around this time last year the same outlets you link here (except cspan) we’re projecting that Trump had a 7% chance of winning the election. In the presence of “interference”, the odds would probably be different. It’s only when the anointed heir to the throne didn’t win that anyone started talking about “interference”.
You measure current code quality by your future development velocity. That is, low quality in your current code base makes it harder to produce the next feature, and the feature after that.

Unfortunately, you learn that some time after you write the poor-quality code...
