I think a missing piece of the puzzle is: It’s not clear to me that my property rights would be respected, should I be able to buy property in China (which, as a foreigner, I can’t do anyway, the government only leases it to you at best).

Western countries have a much better record in this regard.
To be pedantic, it's possible to reduce carbon by using more efficient electrical processes even if you use the same fossil source e.g. burning gas to heat a home can be nearly 100% efficient, but electric heat-pumps can be up to 500% efficient which is still a positive if you burn the gas to generate electricity.

Also, I'm not sure why it's a popular semi-contrarian position to support new nuclear, it's it's simply cheaper to pursue other options like wind and solar and demand response etc.
Memristors are any device whose resistance changes in response to the voltage that's gone across it in a predictable and reversible way. The phase-change memory they describe is one type. Memristors can form any logical gate. They are essentially resistors whose value can be changed dynamically and persistently. Rather than having them store data directly (which you can do, sure, and we'll probably see devices doing that soon) they can form logic gates in much the same way transistors do - except they can be changed in configuration while running. They can form a set of gates that function as a traditional memory latch one nanosecond, then the next be part of an adder. It's like if re-programming was so profoundly free on an FPGA as to be exactly as burdensome as performing an AND.
> If the only thing a self-driving car does in a whiteout snow storm is come to a halt, it will already be dramatically safer than human drivers

Until someone hits it from behind.

I don't really think this narrative about how bad humans are ads very much to these discussions. it's just a deflection from legitimate questions about how good self driving cars are.
>there's a responsibility to be accurate and unbiased

In what universe is this true? Historically journalists have had long eras of questionable judgement, e.g. the yellow journalism era. Sometimes it feels like they're not really any better.

Journalists have been information gatekeepers because of a structural monopoly. As this monopoly is being broken down by technology, of course the entrenched interests will clamor against the disruptors, claiming a sense of propriety that never really existed in the first place.
I'm pursuing similar lines myself, and am only able to work in spare moments due to lack of funds, so I'm in no position to donate.

> it's foolish to speculate on the possibilities of a new medium on this extraordinarily limited medium

I'll be happy to be shown otherwise, but I haven't yet found any counter-example to the idea that the 'verbal medium' is sufficient to describe any principle. So my original question still remains: is there some principle which would allow them to achieve similar generality to traditional computing without using some kind of re-combinable primitives?

Edit: to be more specific: without that, how could this ever compete with AR? People could build their own spatially interesting, room-scale workspaces without having to find physical materials to build every application out of. The fact that it can deal with actual physical things has an appeal to it, but I can't see any way of escaping the tradeoff of a massive loss in generality.
Some of these are also usernames that a user might use to impersonate being a part of your organization: administrator, contact_us, news, et al.

Nothing that I'm sure would "Just work" for everyone. For me a few things I do when I'm trying to build a habit, this is general to building habits and not specific to meditation.

1) Like going to the gym you need to do it on a schedule. Even if you don't feel like going to the gym just go for 5 minutes, if you don't feel it then leave.

Meditation is the same. Just do it for 5 minutes, if you aren't feeling it then stop.

2) do it every day, even if its not the same time each day, even if you get interrupted, even if you aren't feeling it, just do it. 5 minutes each day is better than not trying because you believe you are too busy. I do it first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

3) Track it to make sure you are making progress. Something about what gets measured gets done. Truer words have never been spoken.

4) Give it time, again using the gym analogy, expect it to be a good month before you start to see results. I mean you might see results earlier, but doing it for a week and getting frustrated that you aren't seeing any results is, well, silly. But I think alot of people actually make this very mistake.

You wouldn't expect to run 3 times and then run a marathon on your next outing. Meditation follows the "before you are good, you'll be very bad at it" law that most things follow.
I’m sure there’s all kinds of cool stuff in Fresno if you know where to look. It’s not the same as the Bay Area though.
Pro tip for folks looking to take a job with a Chinese company: this will prevent you from jumping to some jobs in the US. The defense sector will want you to be not employed by the Chinese for at least a year before letting you work on defense-related jobs (yes, they will audit your employer).
> where does that money go

Contractors and sub contractors. The more layers in the supply chain, the harder it is for that money to be tracked.
As someone who got into frontend as a more specific discipline from more generalized design/dev, I can say that my experience does comport. I don't know if I'd call it "blue collar" necessarily, but I'm looking for a job and it's tough to find the inspiration.
True. It makes you wonder what are they celebrating then.
The complex design work goes into creatively gluing these APIs together to form new product categories. If you don't need to spend time worrying how to fit bits on disk, you can spend that mental energy searching for and solving problems that would've been too complex without the APIs.

Smart programmers move up the value chain as needed so that they're still doing work that can't be done easily with an existing product.

You're not scared. That's fine. For all I know, you have no reason to be scared of white nationalists, because to them, you're not the threat. That doesn't make it any safer for a large portion of the United States or other Western countries where these sentiments are popping back up.

We know Africa and South America and Southeast Asia are still relatively dangerous. That doesn't excuse the sentiments that are building here in the US whatsoever. It actually doesn't factor at all into this discussion because they are totally off the radar for people who should be provided the liberty of living without constant breathing down their neck and "go home" and "jews will not replace us." Where does the liberty from harassment and execution factor into your liberty ethics?

The issue is also not what happens right this moment, but what happens in 10 years' time when people have been surrounding themselves and their family and friends with this rhetoric. The history of the Nazi party following the fall of the Weimar republic doesn't span months, it spans a decade or more. What reason is there to deny some people the "right" to demonize and alienate minorities solely on the basis of inaccurate judgments when things could get a lot worse down the road? The slippery slope, after all, has two faces. We can just as easily say that granting some liberties now causes a lot of hurt down the road as removing them.
That's because the Central Valley is basically as conservative as any Southern state.

It's the main reason why I left there to move to the bay. I just couldn't handle their politics anymore.
Thomas Piketty's book Capital in the 21st Century goes into this.

Wealth inequality was much greater in the 19th century in the old world and the new world, but we are getting back to that point.
That is generically true of any two places. But, you stated there was lots less to do there. I am curious what you are into that this seems to be true to you. What are your interests?

I was a military wife. I have lived all over. I just find your statements genuinely baffling and I would like to understand where you are coming from.
I'm glad this is happening, not necessarily for this exactly, but for the taste of the future it gives us, cause this is only the beginning. We'll get more power, more durability and reliability as the processes are refined add improved upon.
tl;dr Uses excellent maps to visualize just how dramatically worse our regional mass transit is vs. New York. Makes the point that Manhattan is very dense but still not affordable. What makes New York more affordable is the accessibility of less expensive boroughs.

Wackier highlights: calls for politically reorganizing the bay area into a metropolitan government, and confuses regional work commutes with "diversity and inclusion."
FPGA reprogramming is slow. It's like saying we can make more oil because all we have to do is wait a few hundreds million years for all our plant matter to rot. And correct me if I'm wrong, but can you even reprogram an FPGA while it is actively being used? I don't believe so. Much less reprogram it from the gates which are active.
That's HN for you. I should have realized after I looked over issue 156 this morning. No questions, I was just curious about experiences with it and wanted to see if that's what you were referring to. Thanks for releasing it, I can't wait to try it out.
Ask HN: Are there human friendlier alternatives to Captchas or Google reCAPTCHA?
The level of service that can be justified in low population density areas is abysmal and can't compete with relatively inexpensive personal vehicles.

> enough delta-V to manage a rendezvous with it

It is currently moving at 44 km/s (relative to sun) in a direction that is almost perpendicular to the ecliptic.

For comparison: New Horizons was accelerated to an amazing 16 km/s (relative to Earth). Assume orbital refueling gets you another 10 km/s (because that is roughly the delta-v needed to get to orbit). Still not enough by a long shot.
It's more expensive everywhere than it used to be, but the construction cost inflation is vastly greater in the US than in other developed countries. Construction is getting less efficient over time.

This is spot on, only time we drove an large cow/bull to the vet was when their onsite vet was out or busy with other clients. (Think winter when some farmers don't properly time and have calfs hitting snow)
Attractive enough to pull the top talent? No

The underlying problem here is the same problem you have with remote work - it's vastly harder to get complex tasks done when people are remote. For all sorts of reasons (including project expediency), you ideally want the front-line programmers in the same office as the technical leaders.
I know the history of Spain really well, being Catalan and with part of my ancestors assessinated by Franco's regime.

Being pro-Spanish did not mean shit for Franco and the fascist regime. The rebelled against a perfectly pro-Spanish republican government. The assassinated millions of socialist, communist, anarchist who were pro Spanish. Big majority of catalans were also pro Spanish and suffered prosecution.

But they supported a different Spain than the fascist/catholic nationalist Spain than Franco's side. They supported a plural, multinational Spain, where all national and regional feelings were respected and supported.
Wanted to put in $7k, at $7, so 1,000 coins. But I didn't want to send a copy of my passport to some shady (Magic the Gathering) exchange in Japan. And it would take 3+ weeks before I could get my coins. What an idiot I was.
Might sound a little morbid, but one of the best things about having a vet that made regular house calls as my dog was aging, was when it came time to euthanize him. It happened in his home, instead of at a vet clinic.
I can think of two: supply chain management (producing stuff more effectively) and market trend analysis (know what people will buy tomorrow - to build it when it's needed). The first involves a lot of people networking and dealing with the messy bits (hard) while the later is looking into the crystal ball with help of some data to extrapolate likely outcomes (somewhat hard).

There is also logistics (again tons of messy bits), customer service (interacting with people), transportation (now this is probably the lowest hanging fruit - which is why everyone and their dog is chasing it).

Just of the top of my hat.. of course there is R&D (hard), design (hard), bureaucracy (bookkeeping, process management, etc. - easy in theory, not so much in practice) -- well, and all the other things that we humans do during a day of business.

We could also involve politics, government and philosophy - but that would probably be stretching it.

ps. I also suck at counting, so maybe that too.
Again, I don't see your point. Before selling a self-driving car product intended to work reliably in X conditions, you have to test prototypes and eventually the production model "release candidate" in X conditions. I feel like you're trying too hard to find a cynical angle on this.
Agreed, I thought it was pretty callous and I'm generally pretty thick-skinned. I like your title a lot better.

Pretty much the same thing.

As for the topic, I think Thiel is a pompous twit. What I will say is that places like Chicago can be quite competitive by being less competitive and more organic. Here, it's I'm doing Snapchat meets Uber. Not quite Dot Com but awfully close. A YC side effect.

If you've got a real idea, it doesn't become real by being here despite here having huge advantages. Was Zuckerberg wrong for picking up his toys and moving to a rental in Palo Alto? Not really. But Xero isn't here. Hell, Xero isn't even American.

So it's kind've like Hollywood. For a few decades, they had tremendous advantages. Now Hollywood competes and other cities do production and location work. But Hollywood is still central to the industry and will be for the foreseeable future.

> Because it is both OO and functional

Hmm, I actually see that as a strength. Need a strong type system, pure FP, and immutable state throughout? Easy. Need to build an OOP library that will be mostly used by Java devs? Easy as well.

Implicits are handled pretty well by Intellij IDEA afaik.

Of course, I haven't had experience using Scala in a large codebase, so I may be on the wrong track!
We have been using datocms heavily at my company for a variety of projects, and have been beyond impressed by how robust and well-thought-out the platform is, and how responsive the staff are to bugs and feature requests. I spend a LOT of time evaluating headless CMS' as part of my job, and Dato is a standout option - one that I recommend as a top choice to anyone who asks, and as an inspiration when I speak with reps from other companies building headless cms'. To be clear I am not employed by or have any partnership with dato at all, just a big fan of their work : )

I'd make that same bet, too.

Exactly this - when did Facebook become a platform for everyone I'm associated with to blurt their opinions. I think there needs to be another forum because the only thing I am interested in using Facebook for is to catch up on my friends doings. Weddings, vacations, etc.
I wasn't referring to mods, but actual Nazis. I've actually personally experienced this, and remain injured because of them.

I can't emphasize this enough: Nazis really are a violent group, and should be treated as such, like you would any other violent group like ISIS, Al Queda, MS-13, mafia, etc.

They absolutely aren't an academic concept on race relations.

The fact that someone was actually murdered at the Charlottesville rally, or that three Nazis were arrested after firing at protesters just last week in Florida should be enough evidence of their propensity towards violence.

I mean, seriously, what else do you need?

It seems a lot of people have no idea that Nazis are a violent group. To me that speaks a lot of white privilege, giving them the benefit-of-the-doubt.
> Journalists =/= publishers

The article is about publishers (and the journalists who work for them). Not independent journalists/bloggers.

> Ignores non-negligible capital costs

That’s the same problem every service in the internet has. It’s pretty cheap to get started though so costs would come as usage scaled up.

> Complaining about politics in your social feed is asinine since many people are interested in politics and choose to share that interest socially, so you're gonna hear about it anyway

I would unfriend or mute those people so not sure why my point is “asinine”. In fact if your friends are talking about politics then this article’s topic is non-applicable since it’s not about filtering content produced by your friends.
Having ridden the Google buses for 6 years, I can tell you this generally wasn't a problem. They were almost always on schedule (I'd say 95% with 2-3 minutes of planned departure) and never bunched up. You didn't really have a latency problem, because you knew exactly when you needed to be at the stop, and the bus would be there right on time.

One bus replaces probably 150 car trips a day (assuming it makes ~3 runs, partially full. If you assume similar capacity utilization on cars (3 passengers), it would take ~50 car trips to replace those 3 runs, effectively putting 17 cars on the road for every bus currently in operation.
Let's just take it a step further. Now East Catalonia thinks they'd be better off as an independent state, and wait now Barcelona wants to be its own city state. I understand the thirst for democracy, but there's a reason we're collectively moving towards integration as Europeans, it does make us stronger in the long run and helps bring peace and stability.
> The State, perhaps?

This is also confusing in nations where administrative regions are called states. I've seen some media refer to Catelonia as a state, although I believe the term used in Spain is autonomous community.
This is how it was for many years. Decades even. It was fine.

They weren't exactly "homemade" servers either. There was an entire industry of game server rentals and these were datacenter rack servers connected to fat pipes.

It wasn't unusual at all to find third-party servers with way better pings (and higher player caps) than the official servers.

I don't remember the official bf1942 servers ever having 32v32 player matches but that was fairly common for thirdparty servers for example.

There is a lot more to screen quality than PPI. Color fidelity, refresh rates, etc. Retina was great when other displays weren't, now that most devices have retina level displays going beyond that level isn't adding as much as making sure your color reproduction is accurate and your device can update the screen in a rate fast enough that animations don't judder.

His proposal is two-fold, for those who want a summary.

1) Build better transit to connect areas that are affordable (or areas at all i.e. San Jose / Oakland) to central business districts

2) To accomplish this by creating a centralized governing authority for the whole Bay Area.

I wonder if this kind of consolidation has ever happened before. Did New York City absorb areas that it now controls as it evolved, or did the parties agree afterward to some symbiotic relationship?

Private development has tons of #1, and little of #2, while public housing development is all #2 with very little #1.

#1 is how you find ways to build faster and better without taking shortcuts. It's called greater productivity.
