Does anyone have the book? I noticed in the chart they measured 'San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward' which would be the northern half of the bay area that does not include the Santa Clara valley (aka Silicon Valley). I'm wondering if there was a measurement for the 'Redwood City - San Jose - Fremont' southern half of the bay area.
Keep in mind it's the lower end schools that have the plagarism and pay-to-publish problems. The top schools never had this problem.
Hey, I've went through the "trouble" of using continuous deployment with elixir and distillery.

Since the project I'm working on is open source, you can see how I've done it. It's still far from perfect but maybe it could be a place to start.

Elixir app is on https://github.com/hackerexperience/helix. You'd probably be interested on `lib/release.ex` and `rel/`.

For the ci, our infrastructure playbooks are at https://github.com/hackerexperience/infrastructure, and you probably want to look at `roles/{helix, erlang, elixir}`.

Hit me up if you have questions our would like to discuss further. Email is on profile.

Btw, here's a great presentation about the topic: https://youtube.com/watch?v=H686MDn4Lo8

Ah, the 'savings' route you mean?

Yes I've been doing it forever. For example:

-I make my own coffee.

-I do not own cable.

-I have a partner who is as frugal as me. ( are you listening? - you pussy whipped men out there)

etc...

Cannot think of anyone who is more cautious than me about spending money in my circle of acquaintances.

Anyway one question about something fr0m the link:

>>"You can earn 5% investment returns after inflation during your saving years"

Do you think the figure of 5% still holds after taxes, inflation etc?

Any way I applaud you on your out-of-the box thinking and actions. I can identify positively with most of your views.

Back to the original intent of the post, even if I save sufficiently I would still be interested in doing useful productive work, there are some real life problems to be tackled - for example, health:

- the problem of degenerative aging.

- The healthcare system is rigged, thinking conscientious people need to make another parallel one if they care about their health.
Yeah, as a native North American English speaker, I will say that the courts are definitely part of what I understand government to be, and it would be very confusing to think of the government as only consisting of the legislature.

The Spanish government regularly wastes Catalonian money, including sending in police to suppress this technically illegitimate vote. Whatever this vote cost to administer, it is a pittance in the grand scheme of things, especially considering the people seem to be willing to bear the economic burden of attempting to gain sovereignty.

If their crime is misappropriating funds for the referendum, then surely the police should be arresting the politicians, not harassing the public at large.
I'm not the parent commenter, but I would say that given the bottom 20% pays an effective rate of ~20%, an effective rate of ~34% for the top 1% is pretty low, relatively speaking.
One of the main reason behind the 'developing' state of India even after 70 years of independence is its differences which Indians still have in their mind. The language barrier is the only barrier which is proving to be resistance let alone culture prevention and all that. Languages are just a form of communication between people and people should accept it. People should learn languages like English(Which have vast amount of resources available).As the growing trends suggest India will be the most populated country after 2020 and it will have around 70% of the citizens who will be youngsters. Believe it or not but sooner or later English will dominate(though i believe it's still dominating to bridge the gap between south and north india). In india you can't surf internet properly if you don't have any clue about English and india do have maximum number of smartphone users around the world and that will ofcourse help remove some sort of language barrier between people.

Also Modi do promote Hindi(though his mother tongue is gujarati) but I believe he does so because he finds himself more proficent orator in the language.

China is one more country which is preserving its culture by speaking chinese and i don't think anyone should stop someone to do so.Though it would be better if there is one unique language with which people should feel unity among themselves.
Wait...what? I'm all for "standard terminology" but they're for sure just not the same thing. At all.

Quality of food?

Poor areas are often surrounded by convenience stores and gas marts as their "grocer options". Not to mention, the increase in salt, sugar, and preseratives (as well as decrease in soil quality!) going into food products.
Actually it's a portmanteau of "memory" and "resistor". That's important since it's basically a variable resistance resistor that "remembers" its resistance.
With respect to uniqueness, you can avoid collisions using, for example, some kind of sharding scheme, similar to what Instagram did:

Because that may be what Spain has to do to force Catalonia to comply.
I trust my own sense of when unit-tests and integration tests are appropriate.

If I'm working on a bit of code that has actual internal logic, then I'm happy to write unit tests so I can iterate on the test with scenarios while I code.

OTOH, if I'm writing a glorified CRUD pass through, api > model -> db-entity > do a thing > return result. There is nothing to unit test. Writing a few integration tests that call the API gives me much more confidence that everything is hooked up correctly than mocking a bunch of shit and asserting that a method was called that was obviously called.

Hmmm... would you be willing to identify some of the neighborhoods you think should be razed. I personally think there's historical value in many of the marina style houses built in the 1920s, which may (I'm not sure) be what you're referring to here.

Yeah, we have a problem, but razing 7/8ths of San Francisco? Yikes.

Also - there are suburbs and there are suburbs. The excelsior in SF, as an example of a generally SFH neighborhood, has a population density of 17,640/sq mi. Palo Alto has a population density of 2,808.46/sq mi . I think you can make a compelling case that because it is closer to job centers, we should increase density. I don't really object to the use of the word "suburb" to describe the excelsior (or the sunset), but if someone uses "suburb" to refer to a low density neighborhood more typical of what an American thinks of as "suburban" (7/8 of SF is "suburb"), I do think there may be an ambiguity creeping into the argument. The two things are very different.
It's in the press openly. Osetia was a... well you can google the visit and the country.
Clojure's spec basically provides that, but it does so at run-time while in development mode. I think Idris may have some similar capability there at compile-time. I suspect the wrangling involved to get a static type checker to precisely describe this would probably not often be worth the effort.
>> I've also got news for you: most conservatives had strong aversions to Hillary Clinton to begin with.

Absolutely.

>> As far as I can tell, most of the surprise in the vote turnouts came from senior citizens who were hardly part of polls and open political discourse in the run-up.

That's part of it, but a large part of the surprise is that voter turnout in key states had some big swings. A lot of people didn't show up for various reasons, and additional showed up that didn't normally.

From what some of the reporting has turned up, some of the Russian propaganda effort was aimed at voter suppression of democratic voters. How effective were those efforts on social media is unknown at this point but there is a decent chance that at least some people involved in that effort committed crimes.
This argument seems a little bunk to me. Certainly my nation (US) wouldn't exist if they followed this logic.

This is a fantastic article.
EV certs can help with this to some extent. For example, the New York Times is using an EV cert with the organization name "The New York Times Company" for their hidden service. So as long as you trust the CA system, you can be certain that you're talking to a server operated by The New York Times, and not just a copycat.

"trying to justify your strong feelings about Trump by fabricating these insane narratives"

This is the first time we've ever interacted and you're projecting my feelings? Great, we're off to a good start here.

From there, I'm "fabricating a narrative" because I implied that casually threatening to kill millions of people on twitter might be what someone else was referring to as "genocidal"?

You know what is WAY more disingenuous than calling killing millions of people "genocide"? Implying that a first strike which would kill millions of people has nothing to do with killing millions of people. Now THAT would be disingenuous.

And, just to throw a cherry on the top of those other weird behaviors, you tell me I'm doing nothing but hurting my political causes, when you don't know what they are.

Couldn't you at least have the self awareness to realize that just because you get cranky when someone calls threatening to kill millions of people "genocide" does not actually mean that all points that person makes somehow lose credibility with all other human beings on earth...because you said so...?
I think it's mainly about perspective. Two people can take the same facts and based on their values, see the story in two different ways.

For example, a medication that has a 70% success rate can be seen as risky or not risky, depending on the person.

Makes sense for Amazon, which is mainly a store for new items / open box used items. Don't care about pictures of the actual item.

If I'm buying vintage/antique items on etsy or eBay I want to see the real item, not a stock photo.
It doesn't help that VCs actively promote and foster founders who behave in ways that would get themselves in trouble. I guess in the case of Zenefits misleading investors is a rule that doesn't "matter".

4. Naughtiness

Though the most successful founders are usually good people, they tend to have a piratical gleam in their eye. They're not Goody Two-Shoes type good. Morally, they care about getting the big questions right, but not about observing proprieties. That's why I'd use the word naughty rather than evil. They delight in breaking rules, but not rules that matter. This quality may be redundant though; it may be implied by imagination.

Sam Altman of Loopt is one of the most successful alumni, so we asked him what question we could put on the Y Combinator application that would help us discover more people like him. He said to ask about a time when they'd hacked something to their advantage—hacked in the sense of beating the system, not breaking into computers. It has become one of the questions we pay most attention to when judging applications.

> If I can proclaim my own bedroom to be independent, making up my own flag, then what's the point of having countries with borders and a Constitution?

That's actually a very good question. If Catalonia can claim itself to be independent and make up it's own flag, then what's the point of having Spain include it within its borders and govern it with it's Constitution?

I think there are some very obvious answers to "why we need government", and "why Spain should exist". But if the costs start outweighing the benefits of those answers, and the people stop being able to answer that question to themselves, the government either needs to check itself, or the people should be free to leave.

>> if you want to be free from the state's rule and laws, then it's no longer your land, unless you're able to defend it.

And that's why we have civil wars, and they're horrible and should be avoided at all costs. If Spain chooses civil war over finding a peaceful way to satisfy Catalonian separatists (if that's what they're being called? Not sure), I call that a failure.

> if you don't like how democracy works, you're free to propose an alternative

On HN, yes, and I've been a part of good conversations along those lines. If Catalonia doesn't like how democracy works, are they free propose an alternative? Their vote's not perfect either, but they're not seeing many good, peaceful alternatives.
The best thing about memristors is that actually this is how the brain really works (at an electronical equivalence). There is no von Neumann architecture in our cortex, rather neurons in networks which both compute and store memories.

I apologize for my interpretation and response. It wouldn't be the first time that I read or hear comments of Catalans being superior to the rest of the Spanish.
> I've never understood why people don't get more excited about memristors.

personally, mostly because i've been seeing articles about how they're just about to totally upend computing for the last ten years
Let's be real for a minute. The reason this is as large of an issue is the same reason that there are very, very few peaceful secessions throughout history. Even then, "peaceful" is relative - there may not be full on war, but there are always "incidents". That reason is simple - there is no way to legally split from Spain. Things are specifically designed this way to always provide the ruling faction with the ability to claim a violation of the law has taken place and order must be restored. The same is true for the United States. There are defined rules for entities to become a member state. There is no mention anywhere in the US Constitution regarding whether or not a member state can leave the union, let alone what the process would be. An entire civil war was fought in the US over this issue.

Spain is clinging to the designed "lawlessness" that arises from any region wanting to leave it. Catalonia not being a part of Spain would substantially hurt Spain. Look at the numbers. 16% of the Spanish people live in Catalonia but they account for 19% of GDP. That 3% may not seem like a lot but when you do the math it comes out to mean that they are (((19/16)/(81/84))-1)*100=23.14% more productive than the rest of Spain in terms of GDP. That's massive. They also account for >25% of exports and 20% of foreign investment.
Catalonia acts as a monetary boost to the rest of Spain. And they believe they are being taken advantage of in this regard by Spain.

Think about it this way - what options did the Spanish government have even once the court declared the original vote a few weeks ago to be unlawful? They could have allowed the vote to go on, and simply declared the results invalid/non-official/meaningless. Or they could have done what they chose to do - apply violence. Why did they make this choice? Simple - they didn't want to see the results of the vote because then the entire world would know, with certainty, what % of the Catalan people actually voted "yes". With the numbers we do have, it's a hefty percentage, certainly not some small minority that is somehow manipulating parliament.

Spain doesn't want to lose the economic boost, nor does it want to lose the land and resources. However, one must ask themselves whether or not a people have the right to choose their own government. Shouldn't people have the right to decide that their current government simply isn't working for them and they choose a new one? We already have this in democratic nations when you look at the country as a whole - the country can decide that there is change needed and take action. Why should anything change when you are simply talking about a region of the country that no longer wants to be part of the whole? Don't they still have the right to self-determination, for better or worse? This isn't really about nationalists, right wingers, left wingers, or anything like that. This is about a simple concept that has deliberately been ignored by both historical and modern governments. If a process were in place, this could be non-violent and remove much of the uncertainty.

That's not how referendums work. Are you saying that if tomorrow you and few buddies decided to set up a new country, on a land you own, via a "referendum", the government should just go with it?
I've been thinking about non-repudiation in TLS for archival and decentralization of public websites for a long time, but this has never been possible without modifying the server. [1] explains really well why not even non-ephemeral DH will provide evidence of transmitted data.

It's awesome this extension has been built, but it probably won't be supported by the majority of the web anytime soon. There aren't many incentives for content providers to implement this; you can probably count the ability to decentralize their infrastructure as a disincentive.

I think its important to remember that what people with a science or technical background consider common sense, others consider domain knowledge they either don't have or might not be able to comprehend.

You have to consider your audience, and assume you need to build context from the foundation up.
Learn Kotlin, and most of your knowledge can be applied to Java programming, which will give you bread and butter for a long time, even if Kotlin will not catch up.
> Adding non-repudiation to TLS just seems like a privacy foot-cannon.

Well, not everything needs to be private! :) e.g. the contents of news articles and such — the "Trustworthy Web Archive" use case sounds great: nytimes.com serves an article with TLS-N, web.archive.org downloads it and stores the proof, you can access the archived copy and verify that it's authentic. Actually, Certificate Transparency might help with checking that the TLS certificate the proof was made with actually belonged to nytimes.com.
It's probably a hijacked account too, that account has legitimate comments but was dormant until today.
Other people answered the hanlding question but there are also durability problems because of the additional shock loading introduced by the extra weight. You wouldn't drive a car without suspension at highway speed. It would kill tires or other components in short order.

Now replace the entire car with a 75lb electric motor in each corner and you've got the same problem but less extreme. It beats the crap out of the rim and tire. This wouldn't be too big of a deal but the hub motor all but forces you to use big rims and low profile tires which are already not that durable for reasons you can Google.
> to think about how food was used to encode social relations within homes where master and servant ate food produced in the same kitchens, and from the same supply chains

The triumph of capitalism and democracy has been the erosion of many of these distinctions. Consider that even now in this new Gilded age:

- Billionaires and housekeepers have the same phones, and the deliberately ostentatious Vertu failed because all it could offer was an inferior phone with a few gems glued on.

- Drive around Palo Alto and yes, you see a couple of A8s and escalades, and quite a few Mercedes. But the bulk of the cars in my neighborhood are the same Prius, Tahoe, Camaro than you see in the Central Valley, if, it's true, typically newer.

- migrant workers can pick up the phone and talk with their family; less than a couple of decades ago to be a migrant worker was to vanish for a time, or forever.

- It's the same facebook site for everyone (or it's a unique FB page to everyone, depending on how you look at it).

- Everybody can watch the same TV shows and movies; in their "private theatre"

- Anybody in the middle class, even the lower rungs, has flown on a plane.

Not to mention the usual list of reasons always trotted out that all but an infinitesimal slice of the OECD population has a better material life than George could dream about.

Of course there remain enormous disparities in health care, nutrition, and other factors. But the trend, in particular with new technologies, is running against it.
If most of my build.gradle files need to be tweaked in order to work with AS 3.0, then I might as well just rewrite them in Kotlin -- after all, they're only 30 lines long. That way, I can use Kotlin as my programming language for Android and my build scripting language.
