There's limited evidence available that it's foreign buyers primarily responsible for our high house prices :/

Correct.

The primary cause has always been local steady employment, low interest rates combined with liberal access to debt with households culturally disposed to pumping that into housing.

This part is incorrect; the primary cause in the last 40 years has been supply restrictions: https://jakeseliger.com/2015/09/24/do-millennials-have-a-fut...

The server data could have revealed whether Georgia’s most recent elections were compromised by malicious hackers. The plaintiffs contend that the results of both last November’s election and a special June 20 congressional runoff — won by Kemp’s predecessor, Karen Handel — cannot be trusted.

This is bad but much more significant is restrictive zoning laws.

I live in downtown chicago where rents are reasonable and skyscrapers for living at everywhere.

Meanwhile, you gotta move heaven and earth to build high density housing in some cities like SF. Even suburbs will fight 4 story apartment buildings. It's not rocket science.

Let the foreigners invest in building more of them. When the crash happens, the locals get to buy them back on the cheap.

What shouldn't happen is foreigners investing in sitting stock as a bank to store funds....zoning laws are like NIMBY on steroids with a long history of racism and classicism.

That's what really is what we should be angry about.
Yes, snopes is strange like that. You'd think a site dedicated to debunking stories would take care to be precise with the arguments it makes, but snopes often comes across a bit sloppy. But here they still are, after all these years, apparently king of the funny little niche of debunking urban myths!
I don't know... on Microsoft's earnings call today, a couple of finance suits specifically asked them about how they intend to grow cloud margins, so I don't think this is incoming. Amazon/Microsoft/Google tried a brief cloud price war a few years back and it all led to them being right back where they started, so I wonder if there's a MAD-ish incentive not to do that again.
Yeah, it isn't perfect. Sometimes I see more variety on the shelves then was reported by the search results. But my primary use case is the store map. It is so easy to get lost in Lowes/Home Depot.
The information in a variant has nothing to do with the type. I can declare:

type foo = Bar of int | Baz of int

And the two variant cases remain distinguishable, despite both having fields of the same type, and both being members of the same type. No information, runtime or otherwise, about the type, is involved. Therefore it is not by any definition RTTI. Pattern-matching is performed solely based on the explicit tag names.

Consider that OCaml variants are in effect no different from the standard C pattern of enum + union. And I think we can agree that C has no RTTI whatsoever.

Now if I could write:

type foo = int | string

Then pattern-matching that would require RTTI. But OCaml doesn't support such things.
That's not entirely true. The way kitchens are set up/configured, what goes into dishes, how stations are set up, etc can change quite a bit from place to place. Additionally there's usually kitchen slang/words for most items on the menu which need to learned.

Also I've had many dev interns at my company, it takes work on my end to enable them to be productive quickly, but it's not impossible. Maybe you need to write some skeleton code for them to fill out and unit test, maybe you need to document things well and spilt up your tasks well, but you absolutely can have some one come in and be productive day one.

In fact my interview was a college hire group interview, we were given a laptop with skeleton code in multiple languages, a problem to solve with fixed inputs. The problems were similar to what you'd likely encounter for whiteboard coding, except I got to be left alone with a computer, the internet, and my editor of choice to write actual code to solve the problem.

This is not exactly true. Quebec doesn’t pay anything to other provinces, in fact it is the biggest recipient of Equalization Payments, by a huge margin.
It's not quite that clear cut. Georgia places unusual weight to these specific annotations so simply having access to the rulings will not result in the same exact output.
Should I use Xcode 9.0.1 given the bad reviews in the App Store
There are more 1 and 2 star reviews than 4 and 5 start reviews on the App Store. This is deeply disturbing. I don't want to add additional problems while trying to finishing my current project. In your opinion should I upgrade or continue with 8.3.3?
Your phrasing makes this quite unbalanced.

How about

B. Huge conglomerate with huge advertising budget uses some of that money on new innovative grass-roots advertising strategy (which is not illegal and can be very effective especially compared to online ads).
No, links, just someone from Spain that wants to give a somewhat "objective" opinion.
Catalonia has always had problems with the rest of Spain because of politicians.
Around the 17th century (don't quote me on this, I'm not good at history), the Castillians had been oppressed in terms of taxes, because they had started a revolution the king and lost. As Spain was suffering an economical crisis (how strange), they decided to collect the same taxes from Aragon as they had been from Castilla, and also to recruit 5000 soldiers (peasants) to fight in France. Catalonia, which was under Aragon's crown government, decided to secede and form a republic. They tried to ally with France, but what happened was that instead of fighting in France, Spanish and French fought in Catalonia. It ended up with France retiring from Spain but with some Catalan territories under their belt. After that, the kings mantained the tax benefits in Catalonia, because they didn't want another war. It is important to remakr that the kings were Austrian in this period of time.
Time after that, when Charles II, king of Spain in 1700 and with severe mental and physical problems, was about to die without descendants, he chose his grandnephew, Philip of Anjou as succesor.
Philip was French, and the Austrians didn't want a French king (Austria had been part of the Spanish empire). So they proposed a candidate, Leopold I's son, Charles. No one wanted to accept the other candidate, and even the people were divided, leading to a war known as the succession war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Spanish_Succession
Philip, who had the Castillians support, won the war, and Aragon, which supported the Archduke Charles, lost its regional code of laws that every region (because Spain was composed of crowns and such) had.
Jumping into this days, Catalan politicians have been using this last part (being oppressed without their jurisdiction) as an excuse to ask for benefits. The problem is, no party has said no to them, and they have always gotten more. Recently they tried another time, and they got denied (when Artur Mas was the president in the Generalitat), that is why they started again with the independence threats. As they didn't get what they wanted, they forced it and it has shifted into a big snowball, too large to be stop already.

(Also, Catalonia had proclaimed independence before, but it got quickly shut down, and the president was taken to jail and after that executed, but bear in mind that this was while Franco was in the government. This is something they are using now to accuse the Spanish government of opression and other things.)

Sorry if there are typos, I'm writing this from a phone.
Why not something more like RSS that can be opened in a real app instead of a browser widget? I believe google earth has something similar already. Then we get to choose the best map application (or have several) and we don't have to say "well I like firefox but the maps aren't as good as chrome".
This is what I wrote about content I allow on my Mastodon server: https://blog.freeradical.zone/welcome-to-my-living-room/

In summary, I totally defend your right to say anything you want, however abhorrent. But if I'm hosting your content - especially when you're not paying me to do so - then I have a right to decide what I'll allow you to say from the platform I own. Your words reflect both on you and me.

I would never support a law like "Nazis can't post stuff on the Internet". I absolutely, 100% support a private organization's right to say "say what you want, but we're not going to help you".
That's a good point and seems obvious in hindsight, I didn't think of that.
You might be right. Parent OP doesn't specify if it's 10% per year. Compound growth would be huge over several years.

Also, Auckland has had probably more immigration than Australia, at least for the last few years.

That said, dropping prices by 10-20% would mean absolutely nothing for an average labourer.
They'll probably be more effective to be honest. Anecdotally, I've encountered nothing but incompetence when it comes to getting help from Walmart store employees. When asked where I can find something their response is usually "somewhere in that area" while pointing broadly.
How long did it take you to switch? I've had my phone in 24-hour mode since May. I can convert without thought now, but I still think in 12-hour time internally.
A house with an absent owner overseas is usually still occupied by somebody, so still contributes to housing supply. I don't really think the measure will have much if any affect.

There may be some houses that are left vacant, the owner could be in NZ or somewhere else. Perhaps it would have been more useful to take measures against that instead.
> How about we get rid of all those external libraries as a dependency? Let's do what we did with <video> and make mapping a first class element.

The difference is that you really can't do <video> very well without <video>. Handling encodings, using video hardware, being energy efficient...this is a lot of low-level graphics stuff. It's a primitive.

In contrast, you can make a map with JS and SVG/canvas/WebGL as good as a browser could do it.
Also, for dating sites in particular, doing an excellent job of matching can be bad for business. Successful matches, especially for users seeking long-term monogamous relationships, mean they stop paying for your service. This is most extreme for the services that are practically marriage brokers, and that's where y ou see the "lots of data" approach most often.

At the other extreme, apps like Grindr and to a slightly lesser degree Tinder aren't hurt by doing "too good" a job, since more of their users don't stop looking because they found one good match.
Gross profit is not net profit.
Govt should adopt a policy of gradually increased property tax based on the number of housing units (or total assessed value of all housing property) one person/business owns.

It should be to the point where one cannot use buying/selling/holding housing property as a way to amass wealth infinitely. Maybe to a certain point, but not to the extent allowed now.

To me, holding a vast number of rental units and amassing a huge income (not for one's living expense but for increasing wealth) is not much different from extracting oil from the ground. Maybe even worse, because high rent/housing is negatively affecting a regular citizen even more directly than dirty oil.
If the zoning laws werent there, they would be building new buildings(like they currently do in china. Hence the term ghost cities) instead of investing in overpriced existing stock.
One of the problems with this idea is that it kind of paints you into a corner. It doesn't allow you to aspire to be the person you desire to be. It predicts that who you are is static and then it helps make that a reality.

During my divorce, I intentionally sought to not allow past relationship data to influence whom I hooked up with.* I had been with four people. Three of them were blonde. Three of them were born within a few weeks of me. All four of them were either in the military at the time or joined it later (because we were both just 17).

I didn't hate the man I was divorcing. I didn't think I had missed by much on finding a great match for me. I was trying to figure out how to sort the wheat from the chaff.

For me, a dating app that said "You clearly like blondes. Here are all the blondes." would have been the exact opposite of what I wanted. I wanted to make personal connections that were not biased by shallow details of that sort. I succeeded in that goal and it was a growth experience.

So, to my mind, a dating app that would be this thorough is the dating equivalent of redlining colored communities and not approving mortgages there. I say that because one of the issues was that I had been molested as a child. So, my feeling is that if you limit future relationships based on passed behavior, you are saying that you are 100% fine with painting abuse survivors into a corner they can never, ever escape. And that doesn't sit well with me.

I generally like to give life room to surprise me. I have gone out of my way to let men surprise me with being better people than my bad past experiences led me to believe I could find in men. The last thing I want is someone or something essentially telling me "So, we hear you like abusive men who will shit on you. Here are your matches."

Yeah, no. I never asked for that. But finding my way out of it has been a long, strange journey because, seriously, society doesn't yet have a good play book for how on earth you do that. So, you very much have to roll your own.

Neither of those things are "existing housing". Foreign cash can still be used to build new housing.

> Electronic access, phyiscal access...it sounds more like it was a "routine" disposal of sensitive information 10 months after the election.

When a lawsuit is filed (or even when you reasonably know lawsuit will be filed), you can not legally destroy evidence related to it, even in the course of otherwise routine document destruction.

In state agencies and other large orgs, it's common to receive mass email orders from legal to preserve all documents and communications related to matter under dispute, regardless of normal retention policies, with reminders of severe legal consequences to the org and dire personal consequences if the directive is not complied with.

Not the author, but let's address your questions:
"Is this serious?"
It doesn't appear to be a joke

"Who would back this? Who would develop this?"
These are the same questions that the author is asking.

I agree it seems unlikely this feature would be very useful. Your post however is even less useful than a well articulated idea. This comment you made actually adds negative value due in part to nonsense hyperbole like "metric shitload of complexity," failing to dive into meaningful details.

I don't want to argue about this on HN, because I don't think this is the right forum.
You can argue all you want about how X was discriminated for having Y opinion and how it was not alright. I may agree with you on some instances, however, under no circumstance is is alright to:

1) Own another person
2) Discriminate based on something that people have no control over. Like race, sexual orientation, Gender etc.
3) Exploit somebody's helplessness for your profit.

No matter what age you grew up in, modern society has no place for such ideas. There may be other things that are debatable or in the gray area, but Nazi ideology isn't one of them.
200F is only 93C which is below the boiling point. This is very much by design.

Yes, the coolant loop is designed to be operated under pressure, however being able to drive with a coolant leak under sub optimal conditions is very important.

Further, engines are designed to operate at unusually high external temperatures as temperatures up to 134f / 56.7°C have been recorded, though not nessisarily with a leak. Note, road surfaces can be significantly above ambient temperatures.
Tamber is the phonetic spelling of the musical term timbre, which desribes the "tonal" quality that distinguishes one person's voice from another. Everyone has their own timbre, and now everyone will have their own, unique experience when they use your app.

People that disrespect Catalonia, I can count them with the fingers in my hand. Catalonia is one of the most productive regions in Spain, and also the one with the greater deeds.
Big businesses are mostly in Barcelona and Madrid, and more in Barcelona. Tourist from inside the country visit Catalonia as much as other regions.
Catalonia is not hated, but politicians and independentists are making us hate it.
"They could claim the wipe was to protect voter privacy though, in which case one would expect them to make the data unrecoverable."

A probe sent out by some remote civilisation, it is on its way through our part of the Milky Way galaxy. It used Sol as a source of gravity to slingshot itself on its way in the direction of Pegasus. It also did some measurements while it was at it, even though this system is not its final destination.

Yes, totally made up but in theory it would be possible.
Yeah, sixteen hundred hours sounds awful. Sixteen o-five sounds OK to me though.
> Nazi is a term loosely used today.

Not by me. When I say Nazi, I specifically mean someone who publicly identifies with that group, uses their words, wears their clothes, and carries their flag: http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2017/09/alt-weaken...

If you show up to a rally carrying a Nazi flag, I'll unapologetically call you a Nazi. It's only identity politics in the sense that I'm identifying the politics someone espouses based on the symbols and words they're using.
Personalized Filter for Hacker News: First Steps
I'm not sure what you mean, here in Michigan a large chunk of the school year (maybe 50% ?) the highschool/middleschoolers go to school in the dark. It usually dark for another hour or more.
I agree that middle/high school is arguably starting too early (especially since research has shown, I believe, that teens really should be sleeping later).

In the case of elementary school, though, you are dealing with kids young enough that they probably cannot reliably be counted on the get ready and leave for school on their own, and so you need to fit school times in with their parent's work schedule.
In your opinion, are Antifa racists?
There are multiple factors driving up housing prices in New Zealand (and Australia as well), and foreign buyers are a significant contributer (just not the sole cause).

Keep in mind that there are single cities in China where the population matches the entirety of Australia, and is five times that of New Zealand. There's a lot of cash floating around our budding new superpower, so...

Most of that is the poorer side. Due to violence in poorer neighborhoods, less blue collar work, and ironically higher rents in some poorer "hip" neighborhoods.

Every CS department I have ever heard of has a 20 hour TA load as standard.
Stavros from TileDB, Inc. here: TileDB could be useful for storing your training data (in some storage backend of your choice) as well as your intermediate data (as davedx pointed out). But this would make sense only if your data are truly large and cannot fit in main memory. In fact, we are looking forward to seamlessly integrating with systems like TensorFlow, but we would rather wait until we can bring some value to applications with very large storage requirements.
That also reminds me of something similar, where a random offset in /dev/mem is clobbered. What potentially makes it more amusing is that it would probably just crash your machine, rather than completely destroy it.
