It's interesting that on one hand you stress the importance of neighbourhood consultation, yet on the other emphasize urban planning experts. These two can often be diametrically opposed in their views.

One of the biggest problems with neighbourhood consultation is NIMBYism - sometimes one neighbourhood will suffer (because of increased noise, construction, traffic, etc.) at the expense of broader urban planning initiatives. If every neighbourhood controls their own development you just can't get things done that might otherwise be good for the city.

Actually I could say the problem stems from giving outright control to neighbourhoods in terms of development committees - consultation is a good idea, but it can be taken too far.

I really like this service and really wanted to add some more docs I often use to it. Unfortunately I discovered why some interesting ones can be missing. For example AWS can't be included, because Amazon forbids third party distribution of their documentation pages. It's really disappointing when companies limit the usability of what they produce that way.
That's an interesting way to think about it--I moved away because there's no work and I don't really ever want to own a car again. I miss parts of it. It's a nice place.

But as a community, it troubles me. But...it's a sand trap. I wish it were otherwise.

> it removed the central feature of the Audio Data API (feeding samples)

Again, I've written actual code with both. With all due respect, I'm not sure what parallel universe you're from. (Do they spell it Berenstein on your side?)

I can pull up my Github commit from 2014 and look at where I changed my moz-compatible
> dynamicAudio.write(modPlayer.getSamples(bufferLength));

to

>var processor = audioContext.createScriptProcessor(bufferSize, 0, 2);
> [......]
>processor.connect(audioContext.destination);

etc, and it still played sound.

If you're unaware how Amiga .mod/.xm works, it is a REQUIREMENT that you can provide raw samples to the output source, because the samples are embedded into the file.

You can feed samples to the browser and have it play them, right here, right now, just like you've been able to for years. If you don't like the status of ScriptProcessor as deprecated and think AudioWorklet sucks, that's a whole separate issue, but you can feed samples now and you'll STILL be able to feed samples when AudioWorklet obsoletes ScriptProcessor.

>Web Audio was a competing API

I already mentioned it was a competing standard in my comment.

>They shipped it without a standardization process

The Audio Data API was one dude hacking on Firefox (David Humphreys) and then other people got interested. One of the requirements of the standards process is that there are multiple implementations in the wild. You need to throw it in your browser if you want it to ever be standardized.

And they DID standardize it early on. You can go read old copies of the W3C standard submitted by Google.

I was sad to see Mozilla's version go away but browser vendors eventually decided it was the losing implementation - including Mozilla.

Mozilla didn't HAVE to submit to the whims of others, they could have dug in their heels if they thought their version was better (see: The Video tag, and everyone who just so happens to be part of the MPEG-LA patent pool saying no to a patent-unencumbered, open video standard baked in to the browser)
Well, in this case it is still a permissionless blockchain. But there are many use cases why we need private permissioned blockchains. For example Hyperledger Fabric is mostly used for different purposes. You can find some use cases here: https://www.ibm.com/blockchain/business-use-cases.html

But I mean, my home internet is only 35 mbps anyways via Frontier FIOS. I can get 150 mbps through Comcast, but I refuse to give that company a penny of my money. In either case, I'm not going to be running any major production servers at home anyways.

Real Estate in TO is expensive, but nowhere near SF.

SF has:

A) Earthquakes
B) The Bay is a hodgepodge of cities. TO is mostly one big city under the same management.
C) SF has quirky and specific views of 'how they ought to be'. Oddly conflicting at times.

There's plenty of geography around the Bay - there's no reason that SF 'has to go vertical' while the other areas don't.

Too much blame on SF.

If it's safe to put 25 story residences in SF surely it is also in Palo Alto and Freemont etc..

I do something like what you are saying but with selling covered calls while I am long a stock. A quick search online will show you strategies like this. It is not uncommon for more active equity traders.

I mostly play long cycles in the equity market instead of trading. When I do trade equities, I play one or two stocks that I know their behavior intimately. My very active trading is mostly in futures and currencies.
It is only boring if you have a restless mind that wants to constantly preoccupy itself with distractions and run away from the slightest discomfort instead of being here and now. With some ZEN focus any activity can be interesting when done with full awareness. Sorry couldn't resist. Carry on.

I think that posting jobs directly to HN is another perk of being a YC company. As noted in the article, the mods can provide a definitive answer.

For what it is worth:

+ I suspect the value of one good hire for one YC company is potentially orders of magnitude more money to YC than whatever it would charge companies multiplied by all the possible times all the YC companies might pay it.

+ The revenue model of YC does not appear to include charging 'incubation' fees to the companies in its portfolio. To the degree this is true it differentiates YC from many other companies in the business of funding startups in batches and providing early stage support and advice. Again, I suspect this is because YC expects the return value of its investment to correlate with the length of runway a startup has and taking fees shortens the runway.

But I am speculating and could be wrong.
By the way, I'm sorry for the snarky tone of my grandparent comment, at which point I was a bit tired and frustrated. But I do think that waiting for the 'right answer' is a bad strategy. Blind action is ineffective, but so is risk aversion.
So you're saying you've built a business 50% dependent on someone else's business. That's fragile.
It's another example of women being sidelined. Most HN readers are male, and selfishly flag/downvote articles/comments about sexism because they want to read about the latest JavaScript framework instead.

I have started several companies from my home (for the first two, "home" was an apartment) and had no problem with employees working from the "office" nor with customer meetings (customers included Sun, NASA, Cisco).

These have all been in Palo Alto, so perhaps its acceptability is location-specific. Each year I have some MBA students from Switzerland visit and last year it was in my home -- apparently some of them were weirded out by that. (By this year's visit we'd grown and so they came to a boring office).

> Especially if you allow it degrade gracefully.

Has not been my experience. I did an experiment once -- two weeks without any JS on my Firefox. Tried to open everything in there first.

I did not count totals for the 9 days I was able to endure but I did count medians and I can tell you that only 1 in 50-60 websites had any form of graceful degradation. And most of the time it wasn't graceful at all...

Sounds good in theory but it is definitely not happening in practice, is what I am saying. Businesses view it as too much expense.

> I'm not entirely sure what your actual implication is here. Could you try rephrasing?

I don't think that it is possible to study religion for any time at all and Catholicism in particular to conclude that it is just men making up stories that can't be verified in order to gain positions of power. This coupled with all the stage magic to impress the feeble minded should sour anybody that wants to be priest on the job. So to me those that make it through that filter are either feeble minded themselves (rare) or are cynical enough that they feel that in spite of knowing better they will still continue the charade.

> Given that dogma and faith are typically defining traits of religion... I'm unsure what you expect the results to be?

I can't help it, I'm always assuming that people would like to know the truth, I can see that if you throw that out the window that 'anything goes', but once you cross that bridge the differences between the church of scientology and the catholic church are smaller than the common bits. They're both structures put in place to allow the slightly more powerful to prey on the slightly weaker.

> Also, to be honest, I have a hard time distinguishing anything that you've said so far as a verbosely-worded "DAE atheism? reason right, religion wrong!" Which I personally is a bit of a false dichotomy that people like to present.

I had no clue what the meant so I looked it up, apparently DAE stands for 'does anyone else' and within that context I can't make soup of your accusation. FWIW I'm probably a lot worse than anything you'd like to accuse me of, personally I think that 'men of the cloth' are criminals of the worst order, they willingly and knowingly spread mental viruses that cause great harm to society. You can read just about any history book to verify that. Of course we don't have any laws against this so it is all fine and good. But that does not diminish the harm.

> I believe such things are and will always be unknowable, so attempts to apply logical and knowledge-based arguments are misguided.

Well, there you go: problem solved.

> But, in an attempt to offer some kind of response: Yes, there are plenty of accounts of people doing terrible things in the name of religion.

Nice to see we can agree on that.

> There are also plenty of accounts of people doing terrible things for other reasons.

This is true, but that's an argument that is along the same lines as people that don't want India to have a space program because lots of Indians are still hungry. The fact that people are doing bad things for other reasons is no ground to ignore the (vast amounts of) bad things done by religion.

> As far as I can tell, this is just people being people, using whatever excuse or reasoning or power they can to serve their interests.

Maybe our viewpoints are not that far from each other after all.

Yes, it's just people being people.

Walking from one class to another, while I was in the 8th grade. I was likely walking from my English class, but I don't recall what class I was walking to. I was told by a friend of mine who had just gotten out of his science class. We both participated at the time in the "Young Astronauts Program" as an afterschool thing, taught by our science teacher. I was walking past the PE locker / gym building, in a grassy area.

For all I know, though, this was so long ago that I could be completely wrong, so I don't really trust that memory too much; that's just how I remember it.

>I really don't understand modern web/JS developers. They seem to ignore traditional solutions and/or proclaim them as evil, and then they go on to employ a 'new' solution that is 3× as complex, performs 5× worse and requires 10× as many dependencies/tools/frameworks/etc.

It is, perhaps, because a significant amount of Node.js developers came from front-end-only development, thus unfamiliar with the traditional approaches (in this case, using threads). An example is the many cases in which a document store as MongoDB is (wrongly) used for data that is mostly relational.

Simply put, they never were taught the traditional approaches first.
These kind of default settings make sense, though. If you really care about lineair writes, you know how to configure it.

Same goes for example for PostgreSQL [1], that uses Read Committed rather than Serializable transaction isolation by default because for the majority of the people, this is fine, and the performance tradeoffs are worth it.

I think that's definitely true, in terms of net jobs. (But probably not always true.) However it will lead to disruption - the old jobs won't be the same as the new jobs. This disruption is potentially harmful to the people doing the old jobs. Additionally, most of the benefit of the cotton gin went to the slave owners, not the slaves, even though the slaves still had jobs. Hopefully we can do better this time!

Any discussion of computerized language learning is woefully incomplete without a mention of [0], which has an interesting combination of properties.

It is:

* A) run by people who suck at SEO and marketing

* B) technologically and graphic-design wise really janky

* C) harder and less fun than e.g. Duolingo

* and D) drastically, overwhelmingly more effective than every other system I've ever seen at actually teaching you a language (for people with almost all common linguistic-cognition neurotypes aka nearly everyone)

The first 3 attributes mean that almost nobody has heard of it/uses it.

The downside is that for most languages they didn't build out enough curriculum to get you to fluency. It'll take you roughly a third of the way there. I'm building an open source clone (with longer curriculum) for the other two thirds of the way.

Also, L101 should be paired with Yabla, which will train the skill of listening-and-understanding in your target language.
